(A) Fulkerson vs Jap AI vers 7.0

And then three of my Hudsons thought they would try their hand at getting some Jap shipping but it didn't work out.

[larryfulkerson]

And then some Dutch planes thought they would try for some shipping and it too didn't work out.

[larryfulkerson]

And tlhen the Dutch find a BB to shoot at

[larryfulkerson]

Here's how it went on the ground at Taiping:

And of course, here's the combat report:

Have I commented on this already? There's still some failed industry, some of them for the presence of an enemy unit in the hex but in
other cases ( Winnipeg, Melborne, and Sydney ) there's a lack of resources and or oil. I gotta do something about these three cities if
I can.

[larryfulkerson]

Winnipeg is out of the way not by a port, in a word, inaccessable. So the only thing I can do for Winnipeg is turn on the stockpiling of
resources. I can't think of anything else to do.

[larryfulkerson]

Sydney ( and Melborne ) will be easy to fix......I'll just ship in more resources and oil. But I'll have to keep doing that probably because
in the case of Sydney the LI number is much bigger than the RES number. Sydney is processing more resources than it produces.

And now a word about my AS ships. I've found one at Babar which isn't as far "forward" as it might be but on the other hand it's safe for
now. There's a Jap BB bearing down about 1K nautical miles to the north and I'm not sure that it might head for Babar. And since it's
Elmer it'll do it's darnest to get there reguardless of the consequences I'm thilnking. Anyway, I found another AS ship at Darwin and I'm
pretty sure I could think of a dozen better places for THAT ship. And then I got to thinking about the rest of the AS ships so I did a cut
and paste of the list of ships by type w/ their location(s). I've come to the conclusion that I need an AS ship at Midway and Dutch Harbor
and maybe Canton Island and Tulagi, someplace in Java and one in Singapore and that just abut takes care of the AS ships. I've got
some ship assignments to make to give those places an AS ship.

Here's the latest Tracker economic chart:

[larryfulkerson]

I pulled the trigger again and we have some more fresh combat results.........but first, lemme just say that Melborne is the only city that
had a failed industry because of a lack of oil. I've got some fresh oil headed that way.

[larryfulkerson]

Oh, and also, before I forget, the LCU's at Iba are moving to Clark Field and the LCU's at Bataan are moving to Manila.

[larryfulkerson]

And in this fight I almost sunk a Jap BB. If only I had gotten another 35 shell hits on her.

[larryfulkerson]

One of my subs got lucky just south of Japan

[larryfulkerson]

There were a couple of night air attacks on Manila:

And a Jap sub gets lucky:

And the Stingray finds a good spot to work:
