Only time will tell.

Status: offline 		No better time to use my midget subs than now I think...severe storms, medium moon, no Allied detection on the midgets there.

700 mines, with close to 350 freshly laid and over 150 type 88s...

I will also LRCAP the base...hoping to score an aerial ambush.

No fast transports in or out tonight...but I did think about sending destroyers in...and I would if I though more troops were arriving (which I don't think to be the case).

I am thinking they would do better on patrol...but that is merely guesswork on my part.

I used patrol also but they seemed to run up system damage pretty rapidly so keep an eye on them.

I got lazy and left them on default...If no bombardment tonight, then I will switch them to patrol. Also, I have no fuel left at Rabaul now...so that played a part in the decision too.

You can dock them to prevent fuel usage, but in that case they MAY not attack. I'm not sure on that end.

Status: offline 		24x4=96 possible VP gift with all those midgets...I got to thinking if all those midgets would drain the op points of the bombardment fleets making them remain close by...vulnerable to a lurking KB strike. Missed opportunity perhaps?

I think a string of them could slow a bombardment TF down enough for a KB trap. Sounds like a good idea. Of course, the lack of fuel is going to make things tough.

Not really my experience. Mostly, they just sink and provide the Allies with 4 free VPs. Ops points burn on the Allied ships appears negligible - when I've encountered them, sometimes as many as 3 or 4 in a single night phase, my ships have been completely unimpeded in terms of how much they moved.

That is good then, I got to thinking it might be gamey with some afterthoughts...
