For All concerned,

I am playing Allies against the AI in the Grand Campaign. Frustrated about the growing number of light craft congregating in ever increasing numbers in Surabaya (old spelling), I assembled them into a support TF and placed them off one of the ports to the southeast. Sure enough, here comes a Japanese landing force with some patrol boats as escort.........both sides begin making faces at each other and sheer away. Then the Japanese get bolder and venture in to sink one or two AMc or HDML's before heaving off again. After a day or two of shadowing boxing, Betty's show up and begin bombing/torpedoing small craft - never enough to destroy the Dutch/British flotilla in its entirety. I know its unrealistic (or so it seems to me) which probably places this "tactic" into the "bug" category - for what its worth. Otherwise, the defense of the DEI is going fairly well and I still have Batavia and Surabaya with a Japanese division bottled up out of supply at Boedong too as of 1 May 1942. However, things appear to be getting tougher with the appearance of Japanese naval air for the first time since PH.
