Status: offline 		This is turn 5 of an epic battle now in June 43 in my pbem scn 2 as Japan.
I am thinking of making the turns available as its been so epic but here is just one of the battles.

NOTE Japan BB had just fought a action previous day and expended some ammo - I think they ran out during this one.

May 1944 in my PBEM and I am still waiting for BB vs BB engagement.
I think Docup is saving them for Tokyo invasion someday in `46

Status: offline 		In this campaign we have had a bout 8 days in succession with big surface combats. I will post the turns if anyone is interested, its the most intense 8 days I have every had!!!!!!!

I assume mixing CA with BB is bad because of the gun ranges - that is why I did not mix. The battle has been so intense I do not think the allies had a chance to select nice DD they were stopping me from slaughtering the invasion ships.
