Top Secret

Turn 7:-

The American Navy turns up with a CA in tow, and gives me a scare, but although a destroyer is reduced to matchwood, they keep them away from the Transports.

Where did that confounded American CA disappear to??

A Statement from the Imperial Palace:

Unrestricted Submarine Warfare will be imposed anywhere within the Pacific. Further, the crews of S-35 and S-36 are to be considered pirates, and will be considered war criminals if captured.

Statement From the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Japanese Empire bows to the demands of the Entente HQ, and withdraws from Hong Kong and Rabaul, in a gesture of peace and goodwill towards her gracious 'allies'

Status: offline 		The game is cooling down, somewhat.

With the majority of his forces onshore in the PI, there's not much to do for my surface combattants that are left in this area. Many of them need repairs, others need updates.

Still, the encounters were very successfull. While I've lost an old US CL with a top speed of just 24kn, 3 DDs and a couple of PGs, he has lost one pre-Dreadnought BB, a modern CL and a few DDs.

Especially the lost BB is nice!

It is categorically denied the Katori has been sunk by the Yankee dogs.
Katori is on a long good will cruise off South America ( Eastern Seaboard ), and will be off the Navy list's for some unspecified time.
