And THAT is the event of the day, of the year even. The lone Boise make a dash approach and engage in several round a fairly larger japanese forces. Sailing fiercely he dodge many torpedo attack and deliver flaming death on Japanese light ships... Even his counterpart take some serious beating. Thoses heroes doesnt depart the battlefield without emptying their magazine. His hull marked by the impact of many japanese guns he sunk again in the night... but only to reappear later. The myth of the "Flying Dutchman" is reborn .. except that this time it is not so dutch.

Ok, this one nearly make me cry. I was assuming that I will only confront a small Japanese AK force and found myself pitted against 4 Battleships We fought valiantly, except the silly gun director of the POW that hammer a PG with full volley while being slammed by 4 japanese BB... DUH
Losses weren't too big and I had confidence in the British ships survivability... Especially so close of a Shipyard. But it was clear I will not be able to battle against thoses landings...

Ok as summary not a so bad turn. Quite a good one in fact. Except for the butchering of the Force Z. But the ABDA CL have a free reign in Jolo area... Except for the now usable Size 4 airfield there... All effort will be commited to have this base unusable and closed. 1st Priority.
Also major troups movement start in West coast and counter-attack is also planned in China. Philippines PT flotilla will also try to interrupt Legaspi landing and get at the CS there. Dutch forces covering Menado are also called back North to Jolo area. Tarakan is building as a massive ( for the ABDA
) concentration of troups and ships. Admiral Doorman is appointed to command half the cruiser while a brilliant American Surface officier take in charge the other group.
