In China, a small success, the road between Chungking and Kunming is now open.

[Ron Saueracker]

OMG Pedro! [X(][:D] You have been slapped around some, eh?[:D] That is a WHACK'O'Ships! I noticed all the ships sunk by Betty and Nell torps. Air dropped torps are just tooooooo accurate IMO. Unlike bombs dropped by dive bombers, only a percentage of level bomber bombs and torps should really have a chance to hit a specific target because they were normally dropped in patterns. Unfortunately each plane gets a role.

Thanks for the ship lists and keep your chin up...at least you are going to get 4 Essexes for the 4 CVs you lost, plus all the Cleveland and Baltimores for the CLs and CAs. I won't be getting any so all those historically renamed ships suddenly don't exist. I remember warning the guys that this would happen but I guess nobody expects the Allies to not suffer grievous losses in WITP.

[kaleun]

Yep them Betties are murder!
I'm trying a fighting him where he ain't strategy until I get some more carriers.
