Major surface action at Battan Island actually went my way. (See attached photos). My subs got slaughtered however. Air combat was also pretty nasty. In the end I was outscored 1292 to 822 but since I am playing for a 1:2 draw I am happy with this. The whole logic behind sending CAs and DDs to their doom against spotted BBs was that I have already written off my surface fleet and saw an oportunity for them to take some Allied ships down with them. To lose them to LBA while in port would have been disgraceful.
