Three Times

[borner]

I guess the jap troops there did not leave earlier, they were just cloaked.

[borner]

one US APD has 2587 men of Japan's 124th reg on it.... anyone good with photoshop want to take a shot at either what that would look like, or how many decks the thing would have to have??????

Me and Borner decided the best thing to do with the bug and the Japanese soldiers was for him to drop them and destroy them. Hopefully that fixes the game error.

Borner invades Nevea.

[borner]

just trying to clean up the neighborhood

[Ike99]

Borner comes a little closer.

Nevea captured by 4,000 Allied soldiers using fast transport. Several DD´s hit mines. 700 Japanese soldiers lost.

# DD's being sent back to pearl to return with 40mm in a few months  [:D]

# DD's being sent back to pearl to return with 40mm in a few months

Ahhh, but a signal of things to come. A few mines at Nevea. At least a few thousand at bases important.

ike and his mine war. i bet if you want to visit ike and swim in his swimming pool you must first be sure that there are no mines there before jumping in.[:D]

[borner]

IKE's mine war is going to be behind schedule. One of his remaining operational ML's went ot the bottom this turn. He is not going to have nearly as many mines as he wants to.

[borner]

add a tanker hit and sub sunk this turn   [:D]

[Ike99]

add a tanker hit and sub sunk this turn

Tanker with 1 torpedo hit, will survive. Sub sunk, what sub? No subs were hit.

[bigbaba]

the sub?..maybe the same thing like the "ghost mine hit"on the essex in my game vs. nomad?

[borner]

hmmmmm, my replay showed a sub taking 4 depth charge hits... too bad.[:(]

[Ike99]

IKE's mine war is going to be behind schedule.

It seems on schedule to me.

[borner]

Another DD that will be in dock for a few months. Not much more. Ike seems to be focusing his Sub mines at this island. that's fine, as nothing has been damaged badly enough to be at risk of sinking.
 
3 more AP's lost for Japan in the last two turns..... Not much, but it's a start.

[borner]

apperas the hunting NW of Rabaul is good. an s-class mananged to put 5 4" shells into yet another ap this turn. Too bad they do not have enough fuel to stay on station long up there

[Miller]

The IJN get two big minelayers early in the game, Tsugaru and Okinoshima. Each can drop 600 mines at a time. If you sink these two the IJN loses 50% of its ML capability.

Believe me, they might only be worth a few points in the game, but overall each is as valuable as a CV to the Jap player.

Also, I have just realised after looking in the ship editor that sub layed mines are more powerfull than ship layed mines.......I had always thought it was the other way round! You learn something new every day[&o]

[borner]

2 torps into one of his huge AP's this turn.
 
Great point Miller. Okinoshima took 2 torps before we had to go back because of his troops showing up everywhere, then took one after that, and Tsugaru took some good damage early but made port I beleive. 2 of his smaller ones are sunk, and another couple of them hit. Early on I put all my S-class around Lugna and Irau in hopes of catching his ML's, and found a couple. He also has lost 4 of his minesweepers, that hopefully will hurt over time as my named subs get to laying more minefields...... seeing as they are not useful for much else yet.

That is suprising, I had no idea. I assumed it was the opposite.

[borner]

another turn, another AP. Too bad ammo is running low at the happy hunting grounds
