I am disappointed in you. I need detailed screenies!!!

Whats going on? What are your plans? are you going to leave the guys or bring yourself some more supplies? It seems like you need to fast transport with ONLY BB/BC/CA/CL leave destroyers home they just get blown up.

Did your heavy ships take any hard hits or just DDs?

In the mean time, I will edit some messages Ive posted already and will put some new screenshots.

Ahh the invasion of formosa? Have you checked PH with subs to make sure he hasn't removed troops from PEarl to reinforce his other defenses?
