the old story... sub laid mines and the routine for it is just Swift is smart enough to know that I have to pass Georgetown and Victoria Point when using the shipping lanes to Rangoon, if I don´t set a "waypoint" [8|]. Therefore he has placed 12 [8|] sub laid mines at both bases. Now my ships P A S S through the hex - even with MSWs as I know he ´s laid mines there - and Scotty beam me up, the mines jump from the harbour entrance out into the Indian Ocean to hit one of my APs... 11 out of 12 mines were cleared, the last one decides to hit one of my merchants...

no, not that you think I didn´t know that there are sub laid mines at Rangoon. Trusty laid them a couple of turns ago and since then there have been half a dozen MSW searching for mines at Rangoon (no not docked). A TF comes in and finds one of the perhaps 10 mines... sub laid mine routine = I know how much damage mines did to the Japanese later in the war so I don´t want to say this is sh*t, I´m only comparing the dozen sub laid mines to minefields laid by MLs and that are in the thousands...[8|]

another 3 bomber raid. The high number of Zeroes is because we swapped out the damaged Akagi (sys at 34 now) and Soryu (sys already at 11 now) with 3 CVLs... this is the maximum Cap as I´ve set it to 90 - I expect only defensive work for KB - and I can´t put more carriers into one hex with our stacking limit of 450 carrier based aircraft.

we fly in paras with 48 Tinas from Lunga and take the empty base.

The only real threat we see at the moment are the mines at Koumac and half a dozen of PTs at Noumea...
