The mighty Yamato has just been sunk by british swordfish bombers operating from Indomitable, Illustrious and Formidable. The giant took eight torpedoes before rolling over in the morning of 13.9.1942. Total allied losses in the operation: 4 swordfish planes (3 by flak, 1 ops loss) and one fulmar (ops loss).

Hi,

Where did this take place? By the look of the date, I guess SE Asia/India. Nevertheless, job well done

.. Yamato is always harder to get compared its sister Musashi.. just like Hiei sinks like paper compered to Kongo and Haruna.. modelled historically?

Hi Marky,

About the game offer, I would still prefer to play the grand game. Saw that you are upgrading AB's stuff

. You are right.. grand scenario takes lots and lots of effort. I hope to finish my AI game this weekend if not next week. Sorry to hear about your computer

About your girl friend, time will heal and try to be with friends .. who knows

Hi,

Just curious, how did you manage to attach the picture of Yamato being attacked? Take photo and cut it to size? I tried but my photos are just too big... 900 kb so it won't upload..

Thanks

Actually near Hong Kong. Thanks to the AI's mistakes and very passive play South China Sea is now mostly under allied control. The carriers were based in Manila before this raid. I think something went wrong with the AI algorithms in this game: the AI failed capture Singapore, Philippines, DEI or Rangoon. In China the AI has not make a single attempt to attack but simply sits tight.

Presently I have recaptured Malaya and destroyed the japanese troops sieging Singapore; destroyed most of the japanese troops in Philippines; I have a land supply route from Burma to China via Bangkok and Hanoi and I have isolated the japanese garrisons in Saigon and Camrahn Bay. The japanese have also took heavy air losses and I have sunk over half of the Kido Butai.

The pictures are not attached but are hosted elsewhere and simply linked here; thus the normal size limits do not apply.

Hi Martti,

Your game.. that is going to be an easy game. Yeah, once in a while the AI takes a holiday. Time to march to Tokyo

. Good luck and don't forget to LRCAP your carriers

Hi, After you paste your screen shot you can then "cut" a portion of that and paste to a new file so you don't have to post really large attachments.

Well the beauty of it is you can take a picture around every second without having to leave WitP. Makes taking pictures easy.
