a bad attack! First half of our strike fails to locate the target, then we see not even half of our escort, the P-40s even engage our bombers (without doing much damaged), flak is murderous and the hit rate a joke after doing 2 weeks of recon. In the end we lose 13 aircraft today for 6 Allied airdraft lost...

I thought with Clark falling where we achieved a 45:1 Bataan would be an easy target. I was as surprised as I was at Clark... we will take probably take huge numbers of casualties until Bataan will fall... [8|] and I thought about using those troops elsewhere already...

another example that shows me I´m not lucky with this game... BUT this shouldn´t have even happened. The as usual not working game made it possible that I had to go in TWICE to Sydney as last turn there were no mines laid... we return today, find a 8!! ships ASW TF (house rule about 6 ships...) of which destroyer number 7!! (that shouldn´t be in the TF anyway) achieves O N E real hit and my sub is dead now... retiring with 13/80/0... [8|][8|] I think I have yet to sink a sub with one DC hit in all my thousands of turns... Normally it´s hard to sink them with a 250kg bomb...

why the game rates a sub in sinking condition not even heavily damaged is a mystery to me...
