Good aar very interesting

Thanks for your kind words. I'm trying to make the most detailed AAR possible without making it droll. What's droll mean anyway?

EDIT: I've got the 4th / B Div loading on boats in the Oosthaven port even though there's an Allied sub in the same hex w/ me. Is that
relatively risky? I'm thinking maybe. I want to move it to northern Java ASAP and now's as good a time as any I guess.

EDIT2: Disreguard this post it's posted to the wrong AAR. Sorry about that. I'm going to leave it up just to confuse people.

So um......I just found TF 401 which is a CL, DD-type of TF and they volunteered to go join the Houston and Boise near Davao just in
case there's some drama going down nearby. I'm hoping that when the Japs come to invade Davao that I can get in amongst the AK's
and put some hurt on the Jap.

TF 402 is a pure DD TF but they are armed and available and willing. They volunteer to move to Ternate to be closer to the pending
action going down at Davao and Sarong.

I've got the Lexington loitering in the water near Wake Island and the planes are set, there doesn't seem to be any Jap carriers in the
area, I'm close to safety, nobody is showing any major damage.........I think we're set for good airstrikes the next day or two. Especially
with the Enterprise coming from the east headed this way. With more carrier planes and lots of sorties. We may have the stage set to
sink a ship or two here.

VP-21 is eleven Cat's operating out of Midway. This is their search fan. I've got it fixed this way because I want to track the where-abouts
of the KB while still watching for western traffic. The KB is STILL within strike range so I'm thinking they must be gonna do a third Pearl
strike maybe. Not much there worth a strike in my opinion but still, Elmer doesn't care about that a whit. I'll just operate on the
assumption that Elmer is insane and capable of anything possible and consider that in my planning forthwith.

Here's all the aircraft at Pearl and what their mission is. I'd really like to get those SeaGulls out to the islands around Rabaul and maybe
in the chain of islands leading to Oz. They are probably good for ASW too.

TF 436 volunteered to stay at Hong Kong even after it falls just so the Japs can't just waltz in there and clear the minefield. Just a little
surprise for Elmer. I'm even going to station a couple of subs there to boot.

I'm going to see if I can't coax the USS Trout to slide right up next to Shikuka there and wait for some traffic. I'm pretty sure Elmer is
going to use Shikuka at some point for a source of resources, that there ought to be some traffic and maybe some of it unescorted.
We're just about to find out. I may not be able to get through the islands undetected, I might have to head east just to get unspotted and
try it again.

Okay......I took a look around and decided to pull the trigger and end the turn. These next posts are for the next turn of the game.

EDIT: These are the industries that failed. Melborne failed for lack of oil, again, and everybody else failed for lack of resources.

Here's some of the new Tracker Alerts: There was a pilot at Pearl that made ace in one day? I need to move him to the training
command.

This is me releasing that new ace-in-a-day dude, Dobbs, to group. I need to find out how to get him from group to the Training
Command somehow. Anybody know how to do that?

Here's the losses from 11Dec41 fighting.

Okay......I've figured out how to get Dobbs into the Reserve........still don't know how to get him into Training command yet.

He need to have XP at lest 81 to move to training command. I will train him in air skill and Def skill, right now is not best pilot.

Training is in order. Roger that. Thanks.

The Jap DD's that were on top of Wake are leaving. I'm going to have to chase them if I want to sink some more of them.

And then there were a bunch of inconsequential sub attacks and then this attack happened.

And then the Japs raided Rangoon:

And then I got lucky and bagged this AK:

And then I unleashed my PG on the Japs:
