Trog: Kenny has read my mind several times and made me pay for it. From what I have seen in other AARs he may earn the title of "Master of Mines" since I always seem to run into a mine field. So far he has sunk around 30 ships with mines due to his uncanny ability to predict where I am going to move. Even with as well as I have done, I may not be able to hold a 4:1 VP ration until 01-01-43 and ins't that the true sign of a good Allied player? A Bombardment TF full of BBs converted to Surface Combat for the 2nd day in a row. the Commander is greyed out so I think I may have been bitten by a small bug. Disbanded the TF and sent it out for tommorrow. The DDs and LCUs are keeping the AV at Karachi treading water. The BBs are what pushes it under.
