Japan seems to get more mines to play with than the Allies, and has a lot more ships that can lay them. Any port that Japan has occupied for more than a day is likely to have some mines.

<t> Canton is taken. Now the question is where to go from here. March overland to Hangshow and then strike Shanghai from two directions, or send a force north to cut the communication lines between troops in Indochina and the rest of Japanese hold areas<br/>

<t> I sent a convoy to give Takao on Formossa supplies. I sent the merchants alone and sent warships in other taskforces there. The warships had mind of their own and was sailing around in other places. Result? Japanese subs jumped the merchants and sunk almost the entire convoy. Two ships remain ...

<t> I didnt know that you could give such bonuses. I think its because i have so many bombs in the aircraft and the fact that they attack ships that are sitting still in the harbor.<br/>

I was wondering when you were going to do AF attacks to try eliminate the CAP and naval bombers. Once the AFs are shut down, the navy can send more DDs in to deal with those pesky "E"s.
