The second battle of Baker Island

Japanese: BB Katori (post-RJW pre-dreadnought, 4x12") BB Hizen (ex-Russian Retvizan, 4x12") CL Kiso (ocean scout, 7x140mm) DD Yayoi DD Oite DD Hibicki DD Hayakaze

Americans: 40 DD split into 4 squadrons.

Once Hizen eats 4 torpedoes and Katori - 5, the outcome is clear. All Japanese forces are sunk. USN loses one DD in the battle and one scuttled afterwards with 99 damage.



Massed destroyers looks like a be-all end-all tactic ... hum ... was this daylight or night action ? And wonder if it would matter ( it should ! )

Status: offline 		You as USA are having much more success than me against String in our current PBEM (but we are still in June), where he easily won any naval battle with my Philippino naval forces...

I have a question... US starts the game with 2 DM at Manila, after the first mission 1 of them could not be reloaded with mines anymore, while the other (both on the same TF, with a MLE docked at Manila) operated normally...
Did you noticed anything similar in your game?

Both battles were night actions. Japanese surprised Americans in the first battle a few times and Americans surprised Japanese in the second.

The biggest difference was squad sizes. I respect Tankerace's tutorial... but 8 DD just doesn't cut it. As soon as I switched to 10 DD squads, I started delivering punches. True, not all 10 can fire at the same time. But 10 sets of torpedoes in a battle is better than 8.

Following this success I am seriously considering invasion of Marianas strictly off of DDs. 70-80 at a time backed by MSWs.

Where did you find the MLE? In Cautionaries there's an AS in Manila, that's all.

And thank you :) I would have done even better had I not placed all starting subs in that region in one hex. Needless to say, all my consecutive games have no more than 1 SS in a hex. Plus, it's all in the numbers: every single American sub, save for H's, is in the Philippines. I am bound to score some hits :) (and lost every third on the voyage home once the islands fall altogether and I can't resupply them, but that's a totally different matter)
