Allied carrier raid on Brunei sinks a super convoy and puts over 60k worth of oil into the water as well as destroying the flower of my ASW force.
Everone else is running away as fast as they can.
Can I change R&D factories to work on producing hybrids? I have a feeling I am going to be short on oil soon.
Only good new for me is that a probing attack at Chungking showed that the real AV fell again so last month's attck was not a fluke.
