Lowpe (Japan) vs Wargamr (Allies)

[Lowpe]

Always scary.

[Lowpe]

A lot of Japanese task forces are set to patrol a hex, with quite a lot of engagement reaction...and the local commanders hear the radio waves and react...

[Lowpe]

We are not done yet folks, for good or bad. After a hefty night time air search, some missed sub attacks on destroyers, the naval forces are clashing again. The entire Allied fleets are within reaction range of fresh Japanese ships...will they react?

[Lowpe]

Brave little ship...it is still night combat folks!

[Lowpe]

Aoba, get in the fight! Full speed, bearing 90 east, aye, aye sir!

[Lowpe]

Haruna, follow the Aoba!

[Lowpe]

And we are thru the night, with a few more minor clashes...

Jakes are the first to sortie...knocking out radar mounts and AA guns.

[Lowpe]

Seems the enemy carriers are hiding in severe storms.

[Lowpe]

Where is the KB though? I know where she is supposed to be, but that never really ever works out does it?

[Lowpe]

Nail biting time...the weather clears in the afternoon.

[Lowpe]

Oh, god, it is getting very late in the day!!

[Lowpe]

No KB strike....argh...orders got messed up and she didn't remain on station, but retired. I am soo bad.

[Lowpe]

First take on the butcher's bill.

[Lowpe]

I am going to load up my a pre turn save and see if the lousy staffer that allowed the kb to retire was yours truly. I suck at this game sometimes.[:(]



Next time, read the small print, idiot!

Somehow this looks like a fitting end to the turn. One needs some comic relief with all the suspense and carnage [:)]

Haha. Don't be too hard on yourself yet. Still a lot to clean up here, and I doubt from previous evidence that the Allied ships will now all retreat. Your little DD TFs did well!

The KB being out of position may be a blessing in disguise. In its current position it's perfectly placed to shield Hyuga's retreat westward.

The Allied CV's are also a little more understrength than they would be otherwise, and there's always the chance that one of your subs makes a decisive move in the night phase next turn.

As cute as it is to see Jakes dropping their hand-grenades on the decks of BB's, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to have them all on naval search to make sure that DL on Allied ships is maxed out? Especially with the abysmal weather in NorPac…

I commend your bravery in wanting a CV clash in the Aleutians. With weather being such a key factor in winning battles, it's a bold move to fight in the theatre where the weather is even more unpredictable than is usual in AE...

At night they do well, but during the daytime they would get punished.

I am not really relying upon float planes from land bases for naval search, as 1 there is a strong Allied CAP presence, and 2 the weather stinks so much they often don't fly. I was hoping to get those little guys bombing the deathstar.

[Lowpe]

Back to port, and repairs. I don't like all the engine damage.
