...me! I knew that luck was very important in this game, but i didn't know my legendary lack of luck would interfere on the very first turn of a GC with a 100% automatic historical first turn. Let's play a game: this is the report of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Can you see what is the weird thing? Tip: i have more than 140 Kates, which are supposed to be torpedo bomber right?

But God of Luck, who seems to be the king of witp ae's pantheon, decided that it would be much more groovy if NONE of my 144 TB pilots would remember to bring at least a SINGLE torpedo. I checked after the raid: not a single of the torpedo reserve in any of the KB CV has been used. If you still doubt about my right to deserve this award, let me precise what followed this marvellous 250 kg bombs raid on PH: half of my bombers were cut down on a raid on Clark Field (against P35s), and of course my Nells and Bettys were not in the mood for an attack on the Prince of Wales TF, so most of them attacked some DDs in Singapore's harbor instead, leaving the 2 BBs alive with only 1 torpedo hit to each of them. I agree first historical turns should not be the same. But do they have to be THAT random? Come on, i haven't done anything yet, and i'm already handicaped compared to the historical situation!
