You can imagine how painful that was to watch. Total score - 8 BBs sunk during the battle or right afterward. 23 DDs sunk, with 1 or 2 foundering afterward. 76 IJN AMCs sunk, with more foundering afterward. The score immediately following this action is posted below.
My immediate instinct after this was to concede - I blew it. I waited way too long to start a planned offensive, always waiting for 1 more ship, or one more LCU, to arrive as a reinforcement or in theatre before moving. Sad part was, I had a hint that this was coming, and even considered moving the fleet away, or even trying to surprise him halfway. But I thought I could fight it out, thinking the proximity to my bases, and long distance his ships would be, would work to my advantage. I have to say Rysynok's coordination between all the TFs and their timing when they arrived in the battle was very, very impressive (and scary).
After seeing the AMCs clash in the other AAR between Rysynok and Aces8, I knew even back then I was in trouble. I was building some AMCs, but not nearly that many, and even if I had started mass producing AMCs right then and there, I'd have about 3-4 months where I'd be at a disadvantage. But even then, the sheer number of AMCs thrown at me off Midway was unexpected. Big, big lessons learned in my first PBEM. Of course, about the only good thing I can say about this battle, is he doesn't have nearly as many of those pesky AMCs now [;)].
Completely exhausted after watching that, I went to bed as it was late. Problem was. I stayed awake thinking of what The Day After would have looked like. Along with over 100 ships, the Balance of Power also sank off Midway. Japan is now the undisputed #1 naval power in the Pacific, the US Fleet is out of action in a way that would have exceeded Yamamoto's wildest dreams in 1941, and the rest of the Pacific rim is holding their breath waiting to see what Japan will do next. We exchanged some e-mails back and forth, and decided the game will continue forward. [8D]
