I know you've heard this before, but feel the need to reiterate for those that are unfamiliar with this technique: I find the use of xAKs, xAPs and other non-military craft intentionally to soak off sorties and act as ablative ammo soaks ...

<r> I see this as an oversight or at least something that didn't make the cut in the design of the game, fair enough.<br/>

Using picket ships, "Sir Robin", Fortress Palembang, though they may not have been done in real life, could have been done given the political and military will. I see ...

Six Japanese cruisers were sunk due, at least in part, to fires and/or explosions among their oxygen torpedoes. <br/>

Even though the Soviet Union isn't active, is there anything to prevent you from marching up the east coast of Korea, opening a land route to Vladivostok, marching in some engineers and base forces, and using this as a bomber ...

Don't those IJN escorts have a top speed of < 20 knots? So John's TF would be limited to the speed of the slowest ship. Fletchers doing 35 knots would have had a field day.

It's likely a Japanese Type 99 LMG, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_99_light_machine_gun

Looks a lot like a Bren gun.

<t> The only thing I would have liked to see would be to differentiate industrial/manufacturing supply from war materials supply.<br/>
<br/>
Industrial/manufacturing supply would be what you ship back to armaments factories. This would be the equivalent of the supply used to produce aircraft ...

Since there is a chance that the Soviets may activate, can you comment on what sort of preparation, training, etc. you are doing in anticipation. I'm pretty sure it's possible to do training, upgrades, etc., but I'm not sure what else is possible before activation.

Cheers.

J3 seems to split up the KB into 3 or 4 groups that operate independently.

Is the DS big enough at this date that you could split it in two (not necessarily evenly) so that one DS group would be strong enough to take on and beat one or two of KB's separate groups?

I've run AE through Wineskin on a Mac. It does work but is too unstable for my taste. Random crashes that means you have to start the turn over again. [X(]

The Ume, Kuwa, and Maki are all Matsu-class DEs. Slow. Really convoy escorts, not made for surface combat. They didn't have a chance.
