11 December 1941 Time to catch up. Here's how Pearl went. quote:

Despite Kaga's hit, she suffered next to no damage. I paid them back on the 10th, knowing that's where Steve would hole up. Kates were dropping the converted naval shells, which hit both the BB and the CC. quote:

Much of these were defaults, but I've tweaked some of them -- mainly on Luzon, to get closer to Manila. I have no recollection of how I got stuff organized the first try, so it feels like I'm starting from scratch. Some other stray Pacific landings, I've re-routed to Rabaul. That'll probably go like last time where I drive them into the jungle and forget about them. Lots of little bases like Chi-Chi Jima and the like start at a minimalist value of supply, so I'll be busy feeding them from Japan. Yokohama's supply has dropped quite a bit from start. I didn't mess too much with air production, building probably a grand total of 20 factories, split between multiple types. I'm also trying to gather up all my busted up LCUs. Once I get my head on straight, I'll be sending all my xAKLs in Japan to forward bases. I'm a bit burned out from work, so I kinda ran this last turn through quickly. When I'm in a better frame of mind, I'll clean up things top to bottom. I need to adjust my land based bomber strikes a bit.
