The Boise isn´t invincible at all! This is from my ongoing game against Swift. First: Night Time Surface Combat, near Jolo at 38,59 Japanese Ships APD APD-1, Shell hits 16, and is sunk APD APD-2, Shell hits 27, and is sunk AP Hayo Maru, on fire AP Kumakawa Maru Allied Ships CL Boise, Shell hits 1 I have to admit, watching that fight I thought I would exactly run into a Boise that will shoot up everything that is within 15 hexes... but then, the next day: Night Time Surface Combat, near Tarakan at 33,61 Allied aircraft no flights Allied aircraft losses SOC-3 Seagull: 2 destroyed Japanese Ships CA Maya, Shell hits 2 CA Ashigara, Shell hits 1, on fire CA Suzuya CA Kumano DD Yamagumo DD Fubuki, on fire, heavy damage DD Usugumo DD Satsuki DD Minazuki DD Fumizuki Allied Ships CL Boise, Shell hits 36, and is sunk the Boise was shot to pieces by CA Kumano which hit her with 8 inch shells on and on until she sunk. She did no damage at all in this round...

Yup, sometimes Boise has bad day. I have lost her once in a fight with just 2 jap DDs. Surprise - Long Lance attack - hit - magazin explode - gulp, gulp.. But mostly she goes down with amazing amount of enemies. Surprisingly I never had similar succeses with other brooklyn class cruisers despite similar circumstances..

I ALWAYS lose Boise in the first day or two. Rarely has she ever sunk a ship. Even when facing off against just a handful of DDs she gets sunk by the long lance. [8\|]

How much ammo do you think Boise had left after the first battle? I wouldn't be surprised if she was almost empty, and that is a weakness of any single ship: ammo will run out and then you're done.

Just sank a japense taskforce (1 CL 4 DDs) with Boise in my current PBEM that just started... Then again i also had 3 dutch CLs and the CA Hou and 10 destroyers so i dont know if that counts...[:D]

Well a japanese TF consisting of a CL and 3 DD's is basically 4 DD's vs. everything with guns bigger than 5".

That ship is to be feared....I usually devote my mini KB to naval targets until she is sunk.
