I redid the turn before my Jolo problem where an unescorted TF with just xAK and xAKL went to Jolo with no air cover so that my surface TF did not react and thus scared the cargo ships away from Jolo without encountering them Now its Jan 22, 1942 turn, and another problem with Scnario 1. The day after first IJA units enter Singapore - get this over optimistic cargo TF: Naval Gun Fire at Singapore xAK Igasa Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Hokuriku Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Hokko Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Hokko Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Enju Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Chihaya Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Ayato Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAKL Kasui Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAKL Kashi Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAKL Meiko Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Kuroshio Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Kisogawa Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Enju Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Chihaya Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Ayato Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAK Syunko Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAKL Nittatsu Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAKL Tatebu Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore xAKL Tatibana Maru hits Mk XVII Mine at Singapore Then it gets bad: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naval Gun Fire at Singapore - Coastal Guns Fire Back! 104 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

Also for carrier ops, it sent the CVL Ryujo with just a CA and a single DD to Midway on Dec 24th. When spotted the 2nd time in early Jan, I sent Lex & Enterprise after it was spotted coming back. Sank CA and DD and heavily damaged Ryujo. After Singapore snafu, looked again and now Akagi is going to Midway solo with just a quarter of DD to accompany. KB had been split in 2, one in S China Sea, the other in Celebes Sea and down to Makassar and Kendari.
