I think this is nothing more than a raid..... I have been sending some supplies and fuel to Oz with the Capetown ==> Perth route. Not nearly the amount I was my last game as while I really like this route, I did not want to become two predicable as I assume Lam0ttePicquet has read my other AAR. He has picked off a small xAP or xAXL in the Perth area and I have been hoping to spring a trap or two with the forces he has note seen. There was a report of an AMC by a submarine so I "sprung" the trap. While the results are not perfect, he did not get anywhere near Perth and it is a long way to a repair yard for him. Plus the Price of Wales force is still undetected and could still have some fun. ################################################################################################################# Night Time Surface Combat, near Exmouth at 49,129, Range 6,000 Yards Japanese aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses E13A1 Jake: 1 destroyed Japanese Ships AMC Kinryu Maru, Shell hits 16, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk Allied Ships CL Marblehead DD Vampire DD Evertsen DD Witte de With Poor visibility due to Rain with 96% moonlight Maximum visibility in Rain and 96% moonlight: 6,000 yards Range closes to 8,000 yards...
