<r> I am interested in playing USN. I'm going to be away from a computer all next week, so lead time is no issue. I'm a night-owl student, so a turn in the afternoon and a turn late at night is perfect for me. (At least once school starts back. Summer should be fine though.)<br/>

TF's that contain up to 15 warships add up their cumulative AA with no modificaiton. From the 16th ship onward the cumulative effect for ship 16-25 is less than 100% of the AA value of those ships. <br/>

The more interesting question is why your sub surfaced to attack an ASW patrol of 8 or so DDs.

Lautem was bombarded at night, then captured. 6000 men captured, and 50 guns. In all, about 25k Allied infantry were captured on Timor. Allies lost BC Repulse, 1 CA, 7 CLs, and 15 DDs. Japan lost CVE Hosho, 2 BBs (Kongo and Haruna), about 15 DDs, and 5 ...

<r> As no one will be surprised to find out, I lost the CR yet again. What happens is, I post a few turns, get curious and run the next replay, but don't write it up. Then I run a PBEM turn and it gets overwritten. I'll just start backing the CR up, like a non-moron would do.<br/>
