Japanese blitzkrieg Port Moresby, 9,500 Allied prisoners. Now Borner can begin his long road back.

great victory, ike san.

ironicly, i my game with borner, we are also fighting for PM now with hopefully the same outcome like your fight for PM, ike.

I believe he was retreating. I don´t think he wanted an extended ground battle in New Guinea and keep a lot of Allied soldiers pinned there.. He will wait until he has the advantage to start fighting I think.

Mine sweeping, a needed job should the Imperial Cruisers be called into action even if it isn´t glorious...although not everyone understands this.

Wolf to the Shepherds...

Haha...they should have. I don´t think they would have had to force anyone into the Navy that way!

[:D]

Fairly quiet. IKE has has a few small ships hit mines, including a nice ML last turn. subs so far this game have hit 2 more I beleive, and sunk a MSW recently. The second regiment IKE brought to the santa cruz area is making a nice target for my bombers. Gives them a live target to fly against. once of these days I will get around to cleaning the area up, but for now, the increased EXP for my pilots is a nice bonus.

That might be expensive.

[borner]

That's OK, I have good credit from Pearl Harbor national credit union   

[Ike99]

Me and Borners game goes to pause as he must prepare his defences against another, more serious Ike.

So we have to hope for him the best.

[borner]

thanks IKE, may your namesake turn away at the last minute and only be a near miss instead of a critcal hit.
 
As for the game, got another of IKE's MSW's   [:)]

Well don´t get all sticky on me. I´m still going to kick your arse in the game. [;)]

You running short of PC's yet? Probably not, but quite sporting of you to send them out in small groups for my subs to pick them off! 

[borner]

Not much to report. B-17's hit a convoy off Buna, sinking another MSW (4 lost now), and an AP. In points, IKE has now lost more ships, but he considers these expendable. A sub put 2 torps into one of his nice large ML's, and another barely made it to port afloat. This makes I beleive 3 badly damaged ML's for him. While i wish they had sunk, cutting his minelaying capasity by such a margin so early will pay off later I do believe. In addtion, I hope the loss of his sweepers allows my sub mines to find an extra target.. or two.. or three....

[Ike99]

Yes, losing Okinshima, pride of the Imperial mine laying fleet was not good.

Me and Brian have come into a game bug.

For some reason the entire Japanese 35th Brigade is teleporting from magic from Rabaul to Wunpuko.

So we´ll see how he wants to resolve this.

In WITP we found "disappearing unit" and "teleporting unit" bugs that were related to fragments which had supposedly been deactivated (removed from the map) getting reconnected to actual active units (even ones from the other side), thus causing strange behavior. Did either side have a fragment in that hex recently?

I'm guessing the only way to fix this is for you to go down there and at least pull some fragments out - that still might not bring the whole unit back. If you absolutely want the whole unit back - you may need a "truce" while you go down, pick it up and bring it back to Rabaul.

Yes we calling a truce to pick fix this up because now the Units that teleported into Wunpuko are now teleporting into Luganville.

I never had a unit there recently or at all, Borner said he had a engineer unit in route to Wunpuko. We have the saves if you want to look at it.
