Lots of bombing of Buna and a little bombing of Milne Bay. My air forces let them get op losses. I'll figure out an ambush when the sentai of Nicks arrives.

I forgot about the carriers! Actually, nothing happened. The Allied (probably US) carriers are still sitting 4 hexes SE of Ndeni. Now I see 56 fighters and 99 bombers. Three US carriers? I have a sub sitting in the hex (still) and doing nothing (still). Akagi and ...

The I-158 took some damage at the NW corner of Australia from some Commonwealth DDs. She's on her way home. Just thinking about it, I may re-base MKB to Soerabaja and possibly go on an excursion out there. Just a thought...

How about flying off the dive bombers, bringing more fighters on your carriers, then try for an 8 hex Kate strike? Bring them in at 1k feet to lower the reaction time and to try and slip under the CAP.


As always, really good ideas, but not this time. The 4 CVs that went to Yokohama took their ...

Well, the two Allied CVs (46 fighters, 82 bombers) are still sitting in the same hex, 4 hexes SE of Ndeni. One of my subs is sitting in the hex as well, but couldn't find the TF. :roll ...

The Growler managed to put a torpedo into an xAK just off Shanghai. She survived the day just to have Growler put another torpedo into her tomorrow and put her down. I didn't expect her to survive with 30 fires. Also, how the heck did Growler happen to have 2 good torpedoes ...

Good to remember that, but I'll bet you can't air transport motorized support.

I would rail those units to Keijo and let them take replacements during the process, this would save a little time.

As far as those MTBs are concerned, try low level naval strikes with cannon firing fighters. They may not kill them but they can damage them pretty good. If not, destroyers ...

Rough day in the sub war. The I-32 near Perth and the I-173 at Milne Bay each were hit by a DC. Neither is in danger of sinking, but both need to head home for repairs.

The I-158 sank two xAKLs off the west coast of Australia. Not a big deal, but maybe it'll force Ted to send some escorts over there.

The I-154 took a DC off Unmak. Normally, it's not a big deal, but she was caught again in the afternoon and put down. That's the 4th sub I've ...

Yeah, I know. I haven't done that in the past and probably won't this game either. It seems kind of gamey to me.

So, I'm sitting here in the path of the storm that seems to be headed directly for us. Fortunately, we're north of all the ice so we're just expecting snow to bury us.
