RE: Soviets Activated....
A fair bit of dogfights, at least we are starting to shoot down Migs now. Can't really dent the IL-2 which are simply devastating.

RE: Soviets Activated....
Our pocket is formed, but huge Soviet troops to relieve it...can't stop them, but hopefully it buys time for other troops to retreat and form up new defensive lines.
I guess it doesn't really matter much, 849 victory points gained by the Allies despite losing many ships and an even trade in the air. Night bombing is all that matters, and it cannot be stopped at this time.[:(]

Still trying to slow down the Allied fleets operating south of Formosa, a Kongo goes in and performs very unsatisfactorily.
No damage dealt...

But then, the plucky Hei powers onto the waters around the American captured base, and plows right into four battleships![X(]
In one of the longest running fights -- the Hei performs brilliantly putting multiple 36cm hits into three different battleships (however 2 bounced of the West Virginia's tower armor)...and then the Abukuma landed a torpedo half way thru the contest!
Now can she escape, and what if anything is following in the Hei's wake?

Not to be, the Hei, having ordered a retreat back to Okinawa, blunders into a British heavy cruiser squadron and the range closes!

RE: Soviets Activated....
But the fight isn't over yet.
Like the hunter she is, the Yamato steams into Allied dominated waters and closes with two British battleships!
Brazenly, she lets her bow be crossed, dodging the open salvo, and then returns fire on the Ramillies! A 46cm hit! The fire is enough, and a destroyer lets loose a torpedo spread and 3 hit the stricken Ramillies (only two of which detonate).
Seizing the initiative, Yamato closes to 2,000 yards and punishes the Ramillies with a broadside where seemingly every 46cm gun hit! Devastating damage down, emergency crews destroyed, fires raging, holed below the waterline multiple times, a magazine explsion, and the Ramillies is gone!
Can the Revenge live up to her name! No, the Yamato fires again and the horror stricken battleship again from 2,000 yards, and her accuracy, if not as good on the torpedo ravaged Ramillies, is good enough with a half dozen direct punishing 46cm hits! A few more broadsides and the Revenge joins the Ramillies!
The British are struck dumb, vainly trying to rescue sailor and escape the wrath of the Yamato!

The Yamato attempts to withdraw, but those brave British cruisers won't, allow. After the first exchange of fire, the Yamato orders a retreat...but the heavy cruisers chase.
In the long fight, the Yamato performs brilliantly, peppering the cruisers with secondary gunfire which is enough to leave several of them on fire before steaming off into the night!

The Yamato is steaming away and a small Allied convoy is discovered. Both sides withdraw from combat...

Daylight comes, and the Allies spot an Japanese task force...and the first strike goes in...not a single bomber makes it thru! But can the Japanese fighters maintain their presence all day?
And is the Yamato there...it is her last known position!

A third wave! And all escorted....but the speedy Jack gets into the bombers who are all flying very low! No hits scored...for now.

The Havocs' are engaged both before and after making their runs, and score some machine gun hits on the destroyer strafing...but no bomb hits. They might have jettisoned their bombs prior to making the runs.
