Edit: Just saw your post about Wake. Again - good to see so early! Do you intend to stay and finish cripples/fleeing ships? Would be nice to see those three CLs go down, even if they are weak ones.

During the predawn darkness the American Deathstar () collides with the IJN's Wake Invasion Fleet...and both task forces evade combat...but it is enough to scare the American Commanders into re-routing to Pearl Harbor -- and that way lies the IJN KB!

Meanwhile, American S-39 follow the Dutch example and score some successes:

Your aggressive actions will set the tone for the rest of the war. Your opponent will be more cautious, moving slower and committing more cover for his future moves. That's as big a success as the ships that your sinking and the ground troops that you are destroying. Nice work.

(Have to be more careful with 2 day turns!)

2 Days does not an assumption make when it is as complicated as pilot training. I would like to say that Nimitz is the only thing that changed, but runway service improved, weather changed, fatigue, etc, etc.

Still, it is a marked improvement.

That is one of the early allied turns where you know that its going to put doubt in the mind of the Japanese commander.

Stole half of Java's supply (over 50K) and it is shipping to Sumatra and Singers. 10K has already arrived.

Sparrow Btln is four days away from Sumatra...There are a lot of troops and supplies from all over the western map headed here.

Dutch PT boats are at Batavia, and will be able to easily make Palembang. Palembang is mined, might be a mistake to mine it so early. Dutch sub minelayers are at sea with mines awaiting opportunities.

When a squadron initially starts training, all the pilots have 0 points accumulated...and they need to earn points to advance in skill or experience -- so there is a lag before you see results.

Generally speaking you can train to 60 skill very quickly, about 30 days. Going from 60 to 70 takes generally 2 more months.

Of great interest is Draper A. A five point jump!

Do you intend to stay and finish cripples/fleeing ships?


Heck no. In fact they are in kind of a bad way right now. They have 10/10 dl on them.

Playing the Allies here early, is a lot like playing Japan late. And sticking around unless you have complete dominance is almost always a ticket to disaster.

Your aggressive actions will set the tone for the rest of the war. Your opponent will be more cautious, moving slower and committing more cover for his future moves. That's as big a success as the ships that your sinking and the ground troops that you are destroying. Nice work.


Whether the attacks were successful or not, that is definitely a goal...buying time.

Still, these are but pinpricks, just smoke and mirror meant to divert attention...the real damage to Japan currently is primarily logistical gaining time at Singers, Palembang, China.

And should Lady Lex or Big E fall victim to the KB...but there is a lot of sea room, and I know when to run. Although oilers are all out of position there exists other options, options that started moving into place on the 9th.
