Man that turn took us a while and I was a big part. There must be 15 amphibious or landing craft taffys swarming all over the PI's. It was pretty obvious JJ had stoked up their aircraft on Luzon so I had to move aircraft and task forces around....and then there was the HOA and the letter explaining the harmless JPG I sent......honestly, wow, talk about miscommunication...whoever voiced the opinion that they weren't flirting is likely right, but they may just be playing hard to get.

Batan: JJ sent their MTB's covering Clark in toward our small stuff landing troops and parchesi boards at Bataan. a true Clash of Midgets. The LCTs have too shallow a draft for torpedoes so it was all gunfire...with the largest caliber being a .50. We got a few LCT's shot up, 5 maybe..then a single PT boat can't stop them, then an ASW broup of SC's draws a blank....... And then..........our heavy stuff showed up, culminating in the 15th Battle of Subic Bay.......

At Iba alone I count at least 31 Zeroes, 12 Oscars, 4 Nells, 21 Bettys and 4 Helens over Iba plus a bunch of Vals over Batangas. Probably one of those morale-breaking days as Nippon.

No, they'll be ecstatic at such an exchange. For modest plane losses, they've managed to sink two aircraft carriers, a battleship and numerous cruisers and destroyers.
