I am amazed at your resilience when facing this situation. Surely Obvert is a competent and aggressive player, but still your defense is certainly spirited. Hats off to you Lowpe

I thought their only purpose was to empty the Allies ASW ammo stores.

I once sank a CVE with one, once. Considering said CVE was worth 80 odd VP's and the midgets are worth 2, I like to think that was the karma for the dozens I've lost to no effect.

They're like the lottery - can't win if you don't play!

That's maybe not quite so bad (from the Allied perspective) since most or all of the PH battleships will get blasted anyway.

Sub attack near Alor Star at 49,73

Japanese Ships
SSX Ha-20, hits 1

Allied Ships
CL Achilles
CL Perth, on fire, heavy damage
DD Litchfield
DD King
DD Hotspur

SSX Ha-20 launches 2 torpedoes at CL Achilles

Screwed up my screenshots...so here is the damaged light carrier. So many damaged ships at Saigon, progress is slow. I am in the process of moving everything out and back...

Alor Star falls to 4 units and about 400 AV...two more days and Alor would have been garrisoned adequately, but for now they will have another base and will hold around Singora.

IJN now has four battleships on the eastern side of Malaya...so I hope to be able to get a favorable engagement or two.

Allied beasts raid Miri/Brunei and 3 are shot down.

Allies continue their torrid pace of naval bombardments.

Tojos continue shooting down fighters,today was some Kittyhawks.

Allies keep landing troops and supplies at Johore...plus daily multiple bombardments by cruiser sized forces and smaller. This is a nasty map in that respect.

BB SAG doesn't react...

Nells sortie, but for the 2nd straight day drop bombs from altitude despite having plentiful torpedoes, supply and runway size and set for torpedoes.

Lightnings sweep Patani and drop a few Zeroes.

Johore falls easily to the Allies.

Still a lot there....haven't given up on them yet, but I have evacuated a fair bit.

Finished turn, suspect there will be lots of fireworks tomorrow....

Units that arrived with planes in them, and likely overestimation by the Japanese intelligence department.
