RE: 13 March 1942
Congrats on the early fall of Luzon defenses. With four divisions and a Bde you have assigned more forces than were available IRL. However, IMO It might have been a better choice to bottle-up the Allied dogs on Bataan with just two Divs and a Bde and send the other two to Malaya - early capture of Singers is more important than the PI me think.
Mundy failed to pull-out a few units which could and should have been evacuated :
The Naval HQs could have provide useful naval support in Australia.
Station CAST is of course just a role-playing element and has no impact on gameplay - I hope nonetheless that you will be able to "extract" useful information from those codebreakers!

Thanks and yes indeed, now that Luzon is done, clearing out Singapore far faster would have been more desirable. Each game is a lesson on how to do things and I will take this one on board. As for units that Mundy should have pulled out I will take whatever he gives me. He has done a good job of pulling out and leaving speed bumps here and there for me to ponder. As for the codebreakers... we have learnt that our enemy is devoting time to the black art of deception and code breaking. What should we make of this I wonder. It is of no importance. Our JN25 code is more than adequate to protect our planning from the prying eyes of our enemies.

6 Light Cruisers (including the renowned Boise) and 7 Destroyers up against my 4 “Heavy” Cruisers and 4 Destroyers. As the action rolled on by I got the very distinct feeling that the IJN wasn’t having a particularly impressive day. By the time the two fleets disengaged every Japanese ship barring Mochizuki had broiling clouds smoke issuing from them. I had a bad feeling about how many ships would be in any condition to steam back to Rabaul. The Allied fleet on the other hand appeared to have feared rather well although some of their Light Cruisers were also throwing off decent smoke plumes. Range in this engagement goes down to 6000 feet.

The Pacific War has lit up after what could fairly be described as something of a phony war on the waves up until now (notwithstanding the submarine menace from both sides). These Allied warships have been busy in the Dutch East Indies / Philippines and now in Australian waters. By days end I think a good number of the enemy warships are hurting and the prize (those troop ships) have been picked out again and delivered more pain.
And what of the injured Japanese combatants? Isokaze is the only loss. The rest still float and make for a safe port. Damage stats follow.

6 Light Cruisers (including the renowned Boise) and 7 Destroyers up against my 4 “Heavy” Cruisers and 4 Destroyers. As the action rolled on by I got the very distinct feeling that the IJN wasn’t having a particularly impressive day. By the time the two fleets disengaged every Japanese ship barring Mochizuki had broiling clouds smoke issuing from them. I had a bad feeling about how many ships would be in any condition to steam back to Rabaul. The Allied fleet on the other hand appeared to have feared rather well although some of their Light Cruisers were also throwing off decent smoke plumes. Range in this engagement goes down to 6000 feet.
