RE: Wound my heart with a monotonous languor
The fact that they were recently using Oscar Ia aircraft over Luzon speaks to their failure at research. For some reason, they have screwed the pooch on aircraft R&D and production. Dunno why...[&:]ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake
Crearry, Imperial high command is having some trouble with fighters. So are we, but that is why they are having trouble.

Summary:
Kuma may be finished.
Kirishima will probably reach safety unless we find her with subs.
The SBD squadrons are burnt out. Very heavy losses to attacking WJD aircraft.

Heavy air losses. 3:1 in our favor but a fair number of fairly experienced SBD crews lost.

Kirishima...will she or won't she? It seems neither side has operational BB's right now in the PI battle. Washington made no progress with her B-turret. The welders had worked 4 days in a row. It's almost like someone is trying to make the war LAST LONGER. Crazy idea..but I can't shake it.

Just noticed that something with Petes was probably sunk last turn (judging from ground losses). Does Kuma have seaplanes?
RE: Wound my heart with a monotonous languor
Looks like all our radar sets broke down at the same time,, half the crews were ashore on banyans and the rest stole their tots while they were ashore.

Washington made no progress with her B-turret. The welders had worked 4 days in a row. It's almost like someone is trying to make the war LAST LONGER. Crazy idea..but I can't shake it.

RE: Wound my heart with a monotonous languor
PI: I'm guessing this is actually Kuma. Anyway, we miss. Kirishima seems to have made good her escape unless we can spot her and revector the subs. These are TBF's forward deployed to Vigan.
After the drubbing yesterday, all WJD air on Luzon seems to take the day off. I think they are very short on bombers too.

Weather in hex: Severe storms
Raid spotted at 11 NM, estimated altitude 18,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 4 minutes

I noticed you called it Kuma right after the action, but thought it could have been wrong in the combat report from FOW. This second attack seems to corroborate Tama.

What makes you think that's not Kirishima?ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake
Just noticed that something with Petes was probably sunk last turn (judging from ground losses). Does Kuma have seaplanes?
