So I decide to park some BCs and CLs at Weda to prey on Allied shipping in the eastern part of the Dutch East Indies. Unfortunately, I failed to take into consideration that it is within range of US aircraft at Menado. So for 3 days I get to watch the US level bombers use my prized BCs for target practice. Fortunately none of the the hits were serious, but it certainly wasn't a smart move on my part.
