I was thinking "Dingos!!!!" myself, but I clearly lack the zoological knowledge of Oz that some of you have.  Everything I know about Australian biology I learned from Meryl Streep...

The thing about operating carriers inside range of land-based bombers is that it only takes one or two (good) hits to put a crimp in his flight operations.  1 hit won't necessarily knock a Japanese carrier out of action (especially without fire) but 2-3 hits will start to add up in terms of his ability to fly planes off the decks of those CVs.  Your airfields repair a lot more easily than his carriers.

The trick is just not to run out of planes before you've damaged his flight decks into submission.  It also helps to know that he's got to split his carriers between raiding Eastern Australia and defending surface ships in Western Australia.  Rendering one or two carriers inoperative will have a major impact on his ability to provide Geekanese air power for Australia for a month or two.

These are the reasons I'm not totally panicking yet.  I've turned pretty much every land based bomber towards the sea in hopes of getting a lucky shot on a carrier.

Now I just need Geek to unbusy himself and return the turn...

No turn from Geek yet?  :'(

I've tried messaging him a couple of times but no response.  I haven't seen him on the forums in awhile either so he may be extremely busy or worse.  As soon as he reappears I'm sure we'll get back to him kicking me around the Pacific.

Sadly, I've heard neither hide nor hare from Geek in over a month.  I haven't seen him active in the forms neither.  I hope all is well with him.

I'm still holding off reading his AAR just in case he comes back to this.

He's OK, but I think he's been very busy with his business. No doubt he'll be back at some point though.

Thanks for the update, Bob!  I kinda had a feeling that's what it was.  Whenever he's ready I'll be here.
