vettim89 -> Battle of Dadjangas (9/29/2009 12:37:17 AM)

9 October 1944
Wow, another SCTF battle. I had sent a mixed TF of Dutch, Kiwi, Aussie and USN DD's into Dadjangas to scout ahead. They ran afoul of a similar Japanese TF. I lost two DD so far with several others in danger. The are making for Talaud Is where a couple of AR's are inbound. The two TF tangled twice with the IJN getting the better of the first and the Allies the second
