Will the Allies unleash their air force today on the the Japanese?

The IJAAF bombs Chungking, ahead of the shock/deliberate attack there.

ETA on when you will be ready to assault San Diego? Troops assigned to do so?? Did you bring at least one Command HQ with you?? If so, is it prepping for SD or LA? You need that extra adjusted assault value (90%) if you can get it.

Afternoon comes and the Fuso gets hit twice, but they both bounce. Every SBD is destroyed in the pursuit after the bombing run.

And then, swiftly, we are back to dodging torpedoes...we have survived another day in the air.

Our fears fall to tomorrow...where where the Jugs?

A surprising 1-2 attack, 150 points shy of 1-1....but the forts aren't degraded!

Yes, despite a 1-1...the Japanese troops fight off the superior Allied troops...but it is shaky, shaky indeed.

Several PT boat fights, bombard LA, fight off three waves of bombers...suffer two 1000 pound hits.

All in a days work for the Fuso.

She needs fuel, but is otherwise good to go!

Probably have the first artillery bombardment in two days...

I did bring a command HQ and it is prepping for LA...not San Diego.

Why shock at Chungking? It'll be months to get the disablements ready again.

A shock for me is when I know I already have an advantage, and generally with smaller troop number than you have there.

At SD you'll be going in with a DA to start, right? [;)]
