Task Force Nagato was hopefully heading for home when out of the darkness Palliser rears his ugly head. Neither side wanted to retreat as this fight went on and on.

I thought the IJN was in trouble here, too bad the Nashville didn't eat another torpedo. I think she has been torpedoed several times before in the game always to come back to life again, and again.

These destroyers were all the way down near Georgetown, they must have been drawn to the battle.

In a night as long as years, the first IJN squadron reaches Port Blair.

Once again, dear reader, you can breathe again for the sun will shine on the Empire come the morning! I think.[8|]

Ok, hold your breath again. I was a little premature.

She goes down fighting. The brave are always the first to die...

Incredibly, the combats, for now, seem to be done -- but there is always a surprise awaiting the Japanese Empire from those rascally Allies.

Egads, who is keeping score? Is Japan winning or losing the night?

Someday we will be able to bombard, I hope.

Finally...

The sun rises...

Another enemy task force....and after this the Musashi runs into the Nashville group which evades.

You may have been asking yourself, where is the KB.

Peekaboo! Three Georges and one Oscar sweep help to lighten the CAP...

Look, our old friend the Nashville. How I despise her!

We plant two penetrating 500 kg SAP on her!

Allied ships have more lives than cats...jheesh.

IJA has fled Rangoon, and gets bombarded by the Allies at Pegu. I have forts, and he doesn't.[:)]

I get bounced by the Allied Tank Army on the Tuang Gyi Road...puts all this in perspective.

I lost an E ship; Allies a little more I think.

I lost 78 planes to the Allies 60.

I am exhausted and off to watch a movie with my son and digest this turn. Good night all.[:)]

Ship victory points are equal to their durability.

Edit: For the smaller ships.

Another edit: Ok, for some of the smaller ships. Who knows for sure how they figure out the VPs for a ship… [8|]

Nice work Lowpe. Shame you didn´t catch bigger fish with the KB!

Yes very exciting, great drama.

I shudder every time I see an IJN BB stumbling across PT boats or half decent allied DDs (God I hate Fletchers).
