Status: offline 		This AAR will probably mostly be for EUB to read in a few years when hopefully Japan is bombed into a big pile of rubble. I think the top of this first screen dump after the Pearl attack is gone but that ship sunk the day after in a big BBQ. I like these early days of war when I don't have to do much else then react to what he is up to.

In the first turns that mostly meant sending out ships to hunt whatever he had out there, and while I had no luck running into his CV TF I did find a lot of AOs to the northwest of Pearl and two groups of DDs got sent in that direction and sank 5-7 of them. Catalinas in Manila came upon some troop tansports that they torped and while the numbers in the combat report looked decent I am rather sure they are lying. Force Z saw some surface action but now Repulse is torped and in limp mode.

I am sure they'll have a chance to redeem themselves before this war is over though.

Status: offline 		Well that is the first few days of fighting and I don't think there is much out of the ordinary in there. Where I think my troops will just be stomped over I'll try to pull them out, they might as well die on the sea then, and where I have some hope of slowing him down I'll dig in and hope things get messy. I will keep on trying to send surface ships to mess up landings based on what Dr. Waterhouse reports to me in the sigint. This is still more or less just according to script so it isn't until we're past this that I will have to really start to think.

Don't think he'll do much with Wewak and Hollandia, and well all of those small bases scattered around the map. He will most likely have a few bases developed and well defended so I don't get to invade a mostly empty base and have a big airfield ready to go from day one. Instead I'll probably have to invade an empty base that isn't developed at all. But that is a couple of years off still so no rush I guess.

I am not sure what I will do with them next though, if I should use them to defend PM or if I will use only ships for that. He's got ships on his way to Rabul and I am sure it will fall soon enough as I don't think I'll get lucky enough to catch his transports. To quote someone else: 'This is exciting!'.

Status: offline 		My God Man! Only two weeks into the war and the naval losses seem enormous. Like to see the "lucky number" scorecard post. The lucky number scorecard was something I will always remember at old 33rd street when the O's were the AL East, can't help the tangent. I'm to lazy to go back through all the combat reports above and tally, but I am curious. I never thought about what Hans mentioned above, I always thought TF speed determined order of egress sans Op orders to meet follow etc.. Nice to know.
