Bombarding Sinagapore

Why are Kongo and Oshio on fire? Did you actually look at the ships afterwards to check out damage levels? When the Singapore CDs fire at ships entering the hex, there is no combat report for some reason.

Once I had some MSWs sitting in Mersing. Sometimes MSW will decide to sweep mines in an adjacent hex. The MSW swept mines at Singapore from the Mersing hex, and all three were sunk.

Oshio hit a mine entering the hex. Kongo was hit by a torpedo from a swordfish.

Seriously, I would like to know, did they diddle with the code and make CD forts useless? If so I'm invading northern Japan.

Sing has (IIRC) 5 15" guns, 6 9.2" guns and 12 6" guns. Not the worlds biggest fort, but should still do considerable damage.

Might this have anything to do with 1st turn Suprise?

That is a valid point. I will try and rerun the test on day 2, just to see.

If you look at the individual ship stats you will see what they carry. For a sub, you can see how many they carry once you load mines upon them.

That's the loadout per tube, right? So if there are 4 tubes and 2 mines listed, that's 8 total?

Yep.

Allies really have only 3 truly useful minlaying subs (even though I use some slow boats for that too), Argonaut (unless upgraded to crappy fleet sub ([:'(]), O19 and O20. They can lay dozens of mines..and most of those will be heavier mines, not tube-layed lighter ones. IJN also have few, I-121 to I-124 (or was I-125 also minelayer..hard to remember).

I-121 through I-124.
