Fulkerson (J) vs Moore (A) ( no Moore )

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the combat report for those of you who want to see what got skipped:

[larryfulkerson]

TF 285 is the one I used to bombard Darwin and now they are headed for Subic Bay in order to bombard Manila. The minefield at
Bataan is going to be cleared out shortly and then these guys will go into action. I hope Manila doesn't suffer much damage but I'm
afraid it will.

I had intended for supply to be unloaded in the Port Moresby hex to my troops but I neglected to remember that there's no friendly port
there and I need an amphibious mission for that and my TF has a cargo mission and can't unload. D'oh. Now I gotta go back to Buna
and fix it. To fix it what you do is disband the TF and reconstitute it with the different mission. No unloading needed.

I happened to be nosing around the Pago Pago area and noticed quite to my surprise that somehow I have the recon capability to know
that Pago Pago has at least one ship parked there and at least one aircraft of some type. I can't imagine that one of my Mavis units can
see that far south but hey, maybe it can. Either that or the game engine always puts those anchor and runways symbols on hexes that
have that type unit in it. I donno.

That's because of Sig Int report. You detected radio transmission at Pago Pago.

Sometimes when you're really lucky, you detect 2 transmissions from same base and you might actually see what kind of ships there is, and how many airplanes.

Hey there Puhis.......you're exactly right. Again. Glad we have you experts aboard for this one. Thanks again.

Jim and I exchanged moves and I did the movie and here's some fresh combat results, but first here's some Tracker Alerts:

[larryfulkerson]

First thing, right off the bat there was this sub attack:

[larryfulkerson]

And then a bunch of other stuff happened and this series of attacks happened within moments of each other.

[larryfulkerson]

And then my Nells attacked Singapore. There was supposed to be a sweep first and the Nells were supposed to be escorted. D'oh.

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was a raid on Darwin:

And then there was a raid on Manila:

And then there was this raid on Singapore:

And then there was this sweep at Townsville:

My carrier pilots finally earned their Xmas bonus:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's how it went on the ground at Manila:

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was this bombardment at Port Moresby:

Here's the combat report such as it is:

[larryfulkerson]

Fuel and oil are starting to pile up at Palembang so I'm routing all the empty TK's I can find to go there to remove their share of the
goodies. Fuel is problematic because of spoilage but oil is needed in the home islands pretty badly so I sort of need to move both.

[larryfulkerson]

I'm guessing it was all those carrier airstrikes that has provided this windfall of recon. Either that or it's the sub I have in the Townsville
harbour. I can see the numbers on the combatants and have a better idea about what's there now.
