Maybe I should do some sweeps before I do any serious bombing in the PI.

One more push in the Hong Kong area ought to do it. Maybe two.

More progress......the Japs capture Naga.

The march south to Singapore continues.

Still working on grabbing the smaller islands in the PI.

Zamboanga needs reinforcements obviously.

My sub in on patrol in the Midway hex......why is my sub not attacking his anchored ships?

[:D][:D][:D] Maybe, just maybe, because its a marine fisheries attraction now??? [:D][:D][:D] (like this one at Wake?)

DD Chew has a running battle with 3 IJN subs just off Lihue in one turn... is it any surprise its out of ASW ammo?

Okay......it's 08:16 am 12June2012 and I just now mailed my moves to Jim...let's see how long it takes to get moves back from him. He's usually really fast.

EDIT: he returned his moves at 13:17 the same day that's five hours elapsed time. What'd I tell you about how fast he is.

Subs don't ever attack disbanded ships.

I did not know that. Thanks for the update Bullwinkle dude. I'll have to see if I can't use that info sometime.

Since I've received some moves from Jim it's time to post the next installment of AAR pictures. These are from 19Dec41:

Jim has at least one sub clogging the entrance to the port at Saigon.

Jim tried to land some troops at Pago Pago I guess and my sub dissuaded him from doing so maybe.

SS Tautog has been one busy little sub. And productive too.

The air war over the PI is as hot as ever.

The air war north of Singapore is still going on.

There's a small concentration of Allied fighters near Davao that I hadn't expected. I'm going to need some air cover there too.

I got a lucky hit on the SS Java w/ my carrier aircraft.

One more good strike on Wake just before the landings there.
