This PBEM is between myself and Nevio. No peaking Nevio...[:'(][:-][:'(]





I will play as the Allies and Nevio will be the Japanesse. [:)][8D] First off there was no PH attack, instead Nevio decided to attack Singapore. The result was a bunch of crippled ships. Prince of Wales and Repulse are severely damaged. [X(][X(]. I am fortifing several bases to be used just incase of emergencies. Christams Island and Canton Island will be my super fortresses. All of my CVs will be heading in that direction. The past 5 days have seen my ships trying to escape from PI and Malasia, only to be mauled by torpedoes and bombs and such. But this day December 12th was a good day for the fisheys.

Another day and have lost more transports leaving PI. Japanesse landings at Palembang and areas around. I am taking a chance and sending Repulse to Diamond Harbor to save her. She is at 89 sys damage, I will have to wait a few more days to send Prince of Wales, she has 98 sys and a little float damage. [X(][:'(]. I am continueing to ship supplies to Christmas Island and Canton. For the time being my carriers will be hidden. I have Lexington, Enterprise, Saratoga, and Hermes to play hide and seek from KB. Also my BB are in hidding to bide some time. Currently all the action is taking place in Malaysia and PI, except for the current landings in Sumatra. [X(][:)][:'(]

Update Dec 18th 1941
Prince of Wales continues to limp towards Rangoon. Despite another 3 bombs hitting her, she is still floating. Sys damage at 98, Float at 85 and 8 fires, there might be a chance she will make it to her final destination of Diamond Harbor. The Repulse is still at Singapore with 89 damage, not sure if she will make it if things get hairy. [X(][8|][:(]

Dec 20th Update.

Prince of Wales sinks on her way to Rangoon. [X(][8|]
