Of course this was part of my master plan, wearing them out and forcing them to expend ammo before the main action - sometimes i am so cunning I surprise myself even.
On to the main course, Strings force of victorious ships enter Lingayen bay.....
Day Time Surface Combat, near Lingayen at 44,50, and again I wear him out with clever planning.

So, at the end of all that the Jpanese have finally scored some penetrative hits on the enmy ships, its taken a long time. The CL and DD engagements were sadly fought at 20K range so they weren't able to get up close and personl - had they we might have seen some nice torpedo strikes on slowed down BBs..
Okay, no pursuit of them, asusming as is likely they need to go back to replenish and lick their wounds. I have a submarine net outside Lingayen Bay... we shall see. Knowing String I bet he returns so I have reorganised into one strong BB TF and one CL TF.. meanwhile Hosho limps towards Manila, but I don't give much hope there.

RE: The Ne(i)lson touch - 
) on 5th turn: his modern BC/BB against my older BB, all of them with 30,5mm gun (roughly 12", with a penetration value of 500). The combat was night time, and a round was fought at 2000 yards. Well, I've scored no penetrating hits against enemy BB/BC (they have an average of 300 as belt armour)...
