The Accidental War Obvert vs Lowpe

[Lowpe]

Date: To be honest I have lost track.

Near Singers, south of Mersing...chaos!

[Lowpe]

The Jintsu sinks an ACM near Jolo...Enterprise seems to be making north north west.

East of Mersing a follow up fight...

[Lowpe]

The Yank never fired...south of Singers

[Lowpe]

East of Balikpapen

[Lowpe]

Near Singers...Allies have almost no ammo...

[Lowpe]

Allied cruiser force makes Mersing...

[Lowpe]

The Enterprise is running hard for Tarakan...I should have plenty of ships in that area...but this task force is doing a great job at blocking from the west.

[Lowpe]

Another fight...no E.

[Lowpe]

An AMC and AK stick around Mersing instead of the flank run to Singora...and are sunk. Argh.

[Lowpe]

Sunk, south east of Tarakan...goofy Enterprise will disband into Tarakan port I bet.

Three fleets in the area reacted to two single ship ACM's...

[Lowpe]

Near Singers...

[Lowpe]

Thru the CAP easily, miss, miss, miss.

[Lowpe]

Thru the cap...miss...

[Lowpe]

Afternoon strikes all miss...

[Lowpe]

Poor strike...

[Lowpe]

Very poor...

[Lowpe]

Enterprise lives for another day...what a frustrating turn. Especially losing the AMC and my bombers worthless attacks, and the SAGs reacting to the ACM letting the Enterprise get away.

Sigh.

[Encircled]

Well, on the plus side she isn't going to get away from there in a hurry.

[Lokasenna]

At this rate, you might be in for a very long, slow 1943.

[adarbrauner]

What a carnage and fireworks...

Obvert is doing the fight for Indonesia the Allies did not but should have done...

This of course means that the Eastern-Southern door of the Pacific lies wide open and undefended...probably the reason Nimitz did not opt for massive defense of Java .

Can take any advantage of it?

Pearl is undefended, by sea. Eastern Australia. The approaches to the Western Coast
