AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/12/42
So i got to pay the victory of yesterday...a very bad day, even if i cannot tell the real results because i recieved only the reply...
However...he sent another SCTF...a CL and a DD got two mines at Karachi, and my subs didn't get a single torpedo finding the target[:@]
The arrived the BBs...20k deads at Karachi, base closed and my precious supplies really burnt...the base has been really NUKED[:(][:(][:(]
Then a storm of 300 japanese bombers, escorted by hundreds of Oscars stormed Malir...he paid however an heavy price for the results he achieved...
But the worst news of the day was in the Pacific.
As said the Saratoga and the Lex were going back to PH...well escorted as usual...we engaged a sub during the night...it escaped from my DDs and managed to get a fish into the Sara...Fuel Storage Explosion[:o][:o][:o]...can't wait to see how many damages she got..[:@][:@]...hope not to lose her... uffff[:(]...anyway the american Repair Yards can do magics, so i'm still confident!
