Gentlemen, Your orders are three fold: 1) Protect the fleet from air and sea attack; 2) Sink enemy warships in their bases at Subic Bay and Cavite 3) Deny the enemy airfields to operate from. Close 'em.
Of the three, 1) is paramount. If we lose the troop transports the Japanese will have won a strategic victory. A few DDs can be considered acceptable losses strategically, but not the transports. If 2) and or 3) cannot be achieved, you may well hand the the enemy a tactical victory.
Last night a squad of Marine Raiders infiltrated the Japanese airfield at Batangas Bay (F28) and disabled the radar installation. That will allow the FEAF aircraft operating out of Mindoro (LS41) to do so without providing the enemy with any advanced warning.
Oh, I probably need not say it, but that damned Divine Wind is expected to be blowing strongly. Knock 'em down.
Questions? No? Good luck! --------------- Edit - just a reminder! Allied "teleporting rule" - pilots may only switch between USN or FEAF aircraft after having lost a life (ditch, bail, PK, DISCO damage, etc in buffer) or after a USN aircraft lands at LS41. Players may start the frame as either FAEF or USN. E.g. A player flying the A-20 and successfully returning to LS41 may only re-up in the A-20 or the P-38. They may not teleport to the CVs and fly a USN aircraft. Any USN airframe landing at FS41 is considered unavailable to that pilot for future sorties, e.g. if you land an F6F at FS 41 you could not fly an F6F again in the frame. So, if you are in a USN airframe and down to your last life, don't land at FS41 unless you are calling it a night.
