Some food for thought. From mid-December, 1941, until April of 1942, Japanese air power bombed the coast defense installations around Manilla Bay. During this 4+ month period, they managed to permanently destroy exactly ONE gun. Several others were put out of action for between 1-3 days. Short of a direct hit, these gun installations were virtually impossible to destroy.

Yeah, now that you mention it I seem to remember reading somewhere about how many contiguous days of bombardment Corregidor sustained before IJ landed, with little to no damage to the heavy emplacements. Works like RL. So why doesn't Singers fall like a house of cards when I assult it?[:D]
