mmmm....bad luck.
Brad confirmed that none of his BBs are sunk and most of them haven't enough damage to call them at risk of sinking...
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Dec 08, 41
The war hasn't started under a good star....
We took Miri without any problem...just to find that the allies engineers have managed to damage 150 oil and 150 refineries....[:-][:@] A bad start!
His subs are already giving me headhaces... 1 AV sunk near Miri and several attacks against my shippings near Luzon...how did Rader manage to counter every single of my sub attack!?
His fleets are fleeing without much opposition. I have placed several subs near Manila and mined Bataan, positioning 2 flottillas of DDs right in front of Manila... all the ships managed to get out safely!
Same for HK....my DDs didn't find anyone and his ships are moving freely.... My Betties from Takao managed to score some hits but i had hoped to catch them mostly with my DDs.... it didn't happen.
Force Z is nowhere to be seen. Same for Boise and Houston.
We conquered San Fernando, Aparri in Luzon and Kota Bahru in Malaya,....but he's fleeing everywhere and reinforcing Mersin.... my ships are two days far from Mersing and the Aus units are already in place.... think i'll have to change my plans...
Adak and amichitka are invaded and will fall tomorrow...
Overall not a fantastic opening.... but at least no major disasters have happened (well, 1 CA badly damaged and 1 AV sunk by ducth subs....)
Brad will be a very tough opponent...
