AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Aug 10, 43

Float planes reported there is one transport fleet heading to Portland Roads, I'm sure it's carrying reinforcements for the coming battle. So I unleashed the Aussie torpedo bombers. Because of the thunderstorm, the accuracy of torpedoes are really bad, on one AK was sunk during the action along with over 3,000 Japanese troops. 1/4 of the most experienced Imperial Guard Division went under sea according to Championzhao.
I lost over 60 planes during the attack, not a good deal, I think.

The first attack on Portland Roads didn't go very well. I feel like my troops have high fatigue due to the long marching.

But I found this is a good way to train my troops. 5 US Divisions gained 5-10 exp respectively for one day without losing a lot of assets.
I'll keep doing it for a couple of more times in the future to train my troops.
