Interesting read.

Just picked the game up as part of the Holiday sale.
Its completely overwhelming right

So thanks very much for the kind words. So far I've played TOAW III, War in the East, WITP-AE and I like the last one better. It's got
one of everything. I can't tell you how many times I've hit disband instead of undock though.

Nice read and I love all the images - and the fact you have resized them to fit on a normal monitor !! Many thanks for those of use with older screens

Thanks. And you're welcome. I'm trying to make this thing read like a comic book. How am I doing?

You know it just occurs to me that if I concentrate my subs around just these big four refinery centers and deny the Jap the output
therefrom then the Jap war machine will come to a complete stop eventually. Say over a period of a year and a half maybe. No fuel and
no oil from SEI is the death nell for Japan. If I sink all his TK's and AO's then there would be no way for him to convey any of that oil so
maybe I should concentrate on TK's and AO's if possible. And that means being on station around these four oil/fuel producers.

I pulled the trigger again and the combat replay did it's thing and now we're at 13Dec41.

First thing off the bat the Japs try to invade Rabaul. It looks like there's a lot of stuff coming ashore. Rabaul may be in trouble.

This is the first of at least two surface encounters for the MTB dudes:

And then the USS Shark gets lucky:

And then a Jap sub gets lucky:

And then some Jap DD has a bad day at night:

And then the Seal gets lucky:

This is turning into a submarine war. Now a Dutch sub gets lucky:

And then some Bettys raid Singapore at night:

And then Alor Star was the victum of Jap air strikes:

And then that same Jap sub gets lucky AGAIN:

And then there was some more inconsequential sub action and then THIS happened at Rabaul:

And then the Caledon is having a bad day:

I thought there might be some traffic outside of Saigon and it turns out there was:

We just made raiding Wake very expensive. Elmer will probably do the same thing again tomorrow however

And then there was a second air raid on Wake:

And then there was a third air raid on Wake:

And the British are still trying to get through the Jap CAP and failing.

And then the KB gets in one more air strike before they move out of range. I'll have to see if there isn't some way to get some fighters
to Midway somehow.
