Except for missing the 44th and 45th Bde

ORIGINAL: Andy Mac

Mogami why so many subs in harbour in Singapore ?

Arte they damaged or re arming just seems a little strange to have 7 subs sitting around.

Andy

Hi, You can't have all your subs at sea. (or you will have all your subs returning to port at once)

ORIGINAL: Mogami

Except for missing the 44th and 45th Bde

Yes, add the them and subtract 48th and 63rd Bgds. They probably shouldnt be 100% but ready enough for immediate deployment on turn one. My personal preference is to have the 45th already at sea on turn one.

Poor Mogami, his troops in China retreated the wrong way and sealed their fate. Good for me, very bad for him.

Frag

looks like the Ryujo's luck held out for awhile longer[;)]
she dodged 2 seperate air assaults a few days back.

the other CV's were not damage too bad i presume.

This is why i usually declare Rangoon an open city. ouch.

Yep, he waited 3 turns too long. I had a unit coming up the Tavoy path, but I had the real force coming around from the other rail line that he must have not seen that cut off the retreat while the Tavoy boys were lollygagging and putting on a show to make him feel safe.

It is just impossible to keep track of where everything is and where it could be. Just not enough recon aircraft in the game! [:D]

...nice attack, Mr. Frag.
What do you think how much damage your bomb-hits on PoW and Repulse made?
Have you seen any critical damage hits on british ships?

Also, if it not a top secret, Mogami, can you tell us how badly (or not???) are PoW and Repulse are hurt?

just curious... thx

I will tell you flat out having watched PH attacks many times over, the only thing that got hurt was his CL/DD's ... the 250 KG's that the Vals drop will not hurt a BB at all. He might have lost some gun mounts, but that will be the extent of the damage.

Hi, Well that was dumb. I forgot you can't sneak up on CV in base.
The two big ships have 2 sys and 0 flood. They are burning like furies. I won't know the damage before these fires are put out. (31 fire on POW)
