After one week shipping on both sides is feeling the pinch. Allied shipping losses are in front but with most of them being 1-point ships it is the Japanese vessels which lead in the points lost category.

I’m confident that the Allies have lost the following classes of vessels.

Zebrazwo, you asked about the situation regarding supply, resources, fuel and oil. I’ve attached the industry totals as they are at the end of the first week. HI has increased by 16 969 to be at 66 969. Oil started out at 3.232 million and now sits at 3.137 million. Similarly, resources have dropped ...

Some things to be aware of:

1) Bettys and Nells are torpedo bombers. They will carry a normal bomb load even at low altitude if they are set to naval attack with torpedoes but there are no torpedoes available. Kates work great that way as well. As torpedo bombers, they can operate from a level 2 ...

Hi Steve,

Good to see you up and running again. I haven't been on the forum for quite a while and I noticed your fight with LST starting, I'll be following you two guys.

We had a pretty long fight with this scenario -- I think we made it into 1945 and were pretty stalemated.

Since my surgery ...

This is just as it should be.

Only 2 hits were received during the Armed Merchant Cruiser clash, but the first one was critical and must have found something sensitive. The damage is very bad and fires are raging. I’ve sent her north to meet up with her partner, but her chances of survival are slim.

SJ,

enjoying watching this unfold.

What's the supply/ressource/fuel/oil situation? Asking because I know LST has adjusted some things in those areas.


LST knows just where to be striking and it has been a tough start. I'm 3 days behind in the AAR and hope to rectify that soon. I'm away for the ...

Wow, I have to say that he's getting more bomb hits from plane types that generally can't find the ocean let alone hit something in it than I've seen in a LONG time. I mean P-26? Really? 100lb bombs from a fighter are doing that much damage? And Seagulls? Again, that much damage? OUCH!!!

Wow. hot action from the start.
