All these British destroyers are very tough in this game. One of them sank three destroyers all by her lonesome.

Best to take the advice from a neighboring AAR and "blame the staff".

HMS Isis has also been kicking keisters in other AAR, most notably she singlehandedly beat up a fleet in this engagment (again, in a neighboring AAR):

Isis is/was a goddess!

quote:

Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!)

Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.


Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Giver of Life

So that was the problem, the Allies have called upon the ancient gods for help!

The CAP has to fly low enough to be able to intercept the transports.

Status: offline 		So, Japan has amassed close to 300 fighters, a HQa, a a Sentai of Betties with excellent pilots all based on a large enough runway to try a high altitude approach on the ABDA massed fleet. If I can eliminate one CV from flight operations, then the KB can pounce....today the range is set at 8 (max range for the Tojo IIa) and the ABDA fleet need only steam 4 hexes to be in range.

Close to 400 planes possible on the KB, but currently has about 200 with the rest cooling their heels on nearby runways ready to shuttle to the KB on a moments notice. Allied deathstar shows around 200 fighters and 70 bombers.

I also set up a small convoy at Aparri under some heavy CAP in case the Allies fly some planes forward from the CVs to Clark or Manila.

A pleasant opening for the day. I have been trying to nail some bombers and we do good work here. This whole fight is one big ugly mess...

Not all the Betty planes flew...as the CAP is much stronger than earlier reports (which I sorta figured on).

Beasts over Cam Ranh Bay...Allied fleet to the south there...I guess they will come and bombard here as the KB is off Aparri too late, but I did scramble to put 400 planes on her, with another 100 arriving in a day or two.

I have been aiming to hit these oilers for several days now...and a Val squadron gets an afternoon shot at them. I suspect the Allies will be able to save them.

Hurricanes sweep Cam Ranh Bay, and two sentai of A6M3 hold them off -- one at 15K for bombers, and another at 32K for Lightnings.

Most Zeke losses are from the 15k band fighters...
