[larryfulkerson]

And here's how it went on the ground in Malaya:

And the Japs capture Makin:

Here's the combat report for those of you who want to see what I skipped:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's all the aircraft based at Pearl. I moved the floatplanes from the damaged ships to Pearl so that's the seaplane group at the
bottom. A lot of the planes have training missions still. Those I don't want to lose so they aren't in combat yet.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a view of the Manila situation. The subs are exploding out of Manila harbour heading to the northern PI area and to the Miri area
to protect both areas from landings. You can see the Jap invasion fleet(s) heading toward PI and there are Jap landing forces headed
to Miri even as we speak I'm pretty sure. I've lost a few ships but I'm thinking the majority of them will probably make it to safety to the
south.

Hey you guys.....I'm trying to make this the most detailed AAR of an anti-AI game so far. How am I doing? Also, I'm trying to make this thing read like a comic book. Anybody with any heartburn? Any requests? I aim to please.

EDIT: Here's all the industry that failed on 9Dec41. As you can see they all failed because of a lack of resources. Sydney has the best
chance of not failing on 10Dec41. I'm going to have to shift some resources around.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a comparison of the 8Dec41 goodies levels with 9Dec41 levels. As you can see some bases increased in some things and some
bases went down in some levels.

EDIT: And yes I know I mislabeled Salt Lake City on one of the images.

TF 119 is setting sail from Los Angeles for Pearl w/ a 41.3K slug of fuel. Most of it will get to Pearl I'm pretty sure.

[larryfulkerson]

The 11th Australian Bde finished loading so I'm dispatching it to the Rabaul area. Temp. assigned to go to Finshhafen or however you
spell it.

[larryfulkerson]

Also, the 7th Australian Bde finished loading so I'm sending it to Buna for now.

[larryfulkerson]

The 8th Marine Rgt is finished loading at San Diego so I'm sending them to Pago Pago.

[larryfulkerson]

The 34th Inf Rgt is finished loading at San Francisco so I'm sending it to Pearl. They are already prepped for it and everything.

[larryfulkerson]

TF 171 has arrived at Canton but the dock space is so small that only 9,000 tons or less ships can dock and then only two of them at a
time can dock. I'll have to unload in shifts. Two of them are docked now. Two more will take their place at the docks when the other two
are finished unloading.

[larryfulkerson]

The 58th Coastal Defense Rgt is finished loading and so I'm sending them to Midway.

[larryfulkerson]

I've got a bunch of Manila escapee's and they are west of Panay now and making their way south but they aren't out of the danger zone
yet as there is an approaching Jap fleet or two off to the far East headed west and they will probably bring trouble in their wake. I'm
probably going to lose some more ships before my escapee's are all safe.

[larryfulkerson]

This is a busy shot. I've got escapee's from Hong Kong fleeing south and there's Japanese AK's etc. headed for the northern PI.

[larryfulkerson]

There's a convoy leaving SFO for Pearl w/ about 73K of fuel. It'll be about 10 days traveling to Pearl and it's got an escort.

[larryfulkerson]

Okay.....it's Sat. am and I ended the turn so the rest of this will be the combat results for 10Dec41:

Here's the losses:

[larryfulkerson]

There were many sub attacks both by me and by Elmer. This is just one of the few instances where I lost a ship.

[larryfulkerson]

The Thresher Captain took a shot at the KB heavy guns. I'll have to remember to buy him a beer next time I see him.
