At family reunions Sulu Sea sees the Sulu Seas. [:D]

Did I hear correctly that his in-laws are the Marianas Trenches?

I neglected to post this from 12/11, action off Singkawang. Kongo took a fish here.

This is from the current turn. NUTS!!!

I'd like Raiden to comment on how much sweat poured off him when he watched this.

I know the "pucker" that kind of screen brings lol

Raiden says that may be the first time he's seen Saratoga attacked by a sub and survive unscathed. [8|] I'm not sure the whole universe is against me, but perhaps the entire galaxy is. [:(]

12/22/41 A little battle at Vigan

Hong Kong is still holding out. He sent some sort of LCU around my skirmishers and entered Canton. Don't know what he's up to but I guess I'll find out.

Here's what Luzon looks like

The Celebes Sea area

And Malaya

Once the Chinese get some AV into Canton, it's very tough to kick them out. The heavy urban terrain bonus is fantastic, so you're now stuck spending time either cutting the unit off and whittling away at it, or bringing in a lot of extra Japanese AV that you really want to be using elsewhere. Smart play on his part.

My first reaction is to just plug the hole he went through then let him starve. I'll have to examine whether Canton produces anything I actually need that I can't get elsewhere.

I forgot to note: That unit east of Manila is still headed there, but there appears to be 2 more now staying put with more on the way. I presume he decided that was the wrong unit for the job considering the circumstances.

I've completed a string of search/ASW bases down to New Guinea.
I'm giving more info than Raiden needs to know, but those yellow fields will get brighter soon.

12/23/41 I had to eject my guests at Canton. They didn't pay the rent on time.

12/24/41 Hong Kong falls.

12/25/41 Merry Christmas. One of my subs made an intercept not far from Christmas Island. When the graphic flitted by (I wasn't looking close enough) I thought I saw Lexington. Then I got the report saying it was the Ludington. Thinking it might be FoW and the two disagreed, I ran the combat replay again to see for sure. Turns out it wasn't Fog of War, but rather Fog of gorn (Fog).

Looks like Houston has found a big buddy.



If Greenpeace gets a new boat, they should call it "Prince of Whales"

He he, one time I thought a sub had sunk one of my opponent's IJN carriers, but it turned out to be a merchant with the same name, like 'Akagi Maru' or some such! [:D]
