Whire at it. Perhaps bettah to have Maya present too? It nice of amphibious TF to take brunt of Arried dog attack, but maybe next time have...you know...combat ships present when expecting combat?

Adm Moizumi hear rots of roud noises so go ovah to see what hahppen. Rittah rate...*** ****.
Yura and Tenryu not-ah good as Concord but DD's perfectry competent. Moizumi crosses the T and fighting starts at 15,000 yds. Maybe Japan-mens make mistake buying gun directors from M&&M Enterprises.

Maya TF AND the Yura TF were both present as security for the amphibious group. The amphib group taking the brunt was a bad die roll

Prease to note that Chickenboy-san just being irritating.
Perhaps. But Chickenboy-san been burned by this before. There was an instance in the Marianas campaign when he set his 5x Allied CVE TF to forrow a BB/DD SCTF by a hex through the Guam area before retiring. Guess what-ah happen? [:D]ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake
This bring up good question. Ord notion that intercept order go by TF numbah arready fixed...correct?
Arso..."forrow task force" ordah does not riterarry mean forrow does it? Mandrake-san have premordiarh notion that surface combat task forces take priority to intercept enemy surface combat task forces.
