Last great act of defiance.

Post by CMDRMCTOAST »

It's 11/13/42
I got the IJN blockading and protecting his supply line to Townsville
I have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him and can't break his lines
of communication so I got to bring out the heavies.
I am changing tactics in the pbem play from now on as I am sending everything back
to pearl and going to the lumber yard to make some more of these fine boats.

LOL! I think what happened was that the PT's zipped in and out between the IJN ships, which hit each other trying to swat at those flies!

Lots of splinters and on the abduala oblongada,
although a torp in a CV would be like a stick in the eye.[:D] [&o]
