Parry and Spar, or is it... Reluctant Admiral 4.2 Fulkerson(J) vs Moore (A)

[larryfulkerson]

Maybe I should do some sweeps before I do any serious bombing in the PI.

[larryfulkerson]

One more push in the Hong Kong area ought to do it. Maybe two.

[larryfulkerson]

More progress......the Japs capture Naga.

[larryfulkerson]

The march south to Singapore continues.

[larryfulkerson]

Still working on grabbing the smaller islands in the PI.

[larryfulkerson]

Zamboanga needs reinforcements obviously.

My sub in on patrol in the Midway hex......why is my sub not attacking his anchored ships?

[:D][:D][:D] Maybe, just maybe, because its a marine fisheries attraction now??? [:D][:D][:D] (like this one at Wake?)

Okay......it's 08:16 am 12June2012 and I just now mailed my moves to Jim...let's see how long it takes to get moves back from him. He's usually really fast.

EDIT: he returned his moves at 13:17 the same day that's five hours elapsed time. What'd I tell you about how fast he is.

Subs don't ever attack disbanded ships.

I did not know that. Thanks for the update Bullwinkle dude. I'll have to see if I can't use that info sometime.

Since I've received some moves from Jim it's time to post the next installment of AAR pictures. These are from 19Dec41:

Jim has at least one sub clogging the entrance to the port at Saigon.

[larryfulkerson]

Jim tried to land some troops at Pago Pago I guess and my sub dissuaded him from doing so maybe.

[larryfulkerson]

SS Tautog has been one busy little sub. And productive too.

[larryfulkerson]

The air war over the PI is as hot as ever.

[larryfulkerson]

The air war north of Singapore is still going on.

[larryfulkerson]

There's a small concentration of Allied fighters near Davao that I hadn't expected. I'm going to need some air cover there too.

[larryfulkerson]

I got a lucky hit on the SS Java w/ my carrier aircraft.

[larryfulkerson]

One more good strike on Wake just before the landings there.
