Just to add insult to injury, after the American Battlegroup departs, a lone Gunboat chances its arm, and before it even gets into range, DD21 just sinks on its own. [image]local://upfiles/29250/01F195655CEC4658833B05ED8A9A8BCC.jpg[/image]

All a bit quieter this turn, just the odd shell splash, loads more troops piling into Guam, and the advance into the hinterland of Manchuria continues. Where did that confounded American CA disappear to?? [&:] [image]local://upfiles/29250/D5A0F475C0DD4A19B6F4A959A5373A6E.jpg[/image]

.......Reuters Latest..... A Statement from the Imperial Palace: Unrestricted Submarine Warfare will be imposed anywhere within the Pacific. Further, the crews of S-35 and S-36 are to be considered pirates, and will be considered war criminals if captured. ......End Message........

Historiker -> RE: Land of The Giants (4/19/2012 3:43:51 PM)
Statement by the HQ of the Entente Coordiale: Imposing unresricted warfare is unacceptable. We will respond appropriate, should the Japanese subs sink neutral shipping! The Entente HQ also demands an immediate retreat out of Allied territorial waters around Hong Kong and Rabaul. The entente's navy will be forced to chase the intrudes away, should the Japanese forces not be withdrawn.

Elsewhere, Torsten's subs continue to scare the bejesus out of the Japanese High Command, several ASW TF's are despatched to the landing zones, a few grenades get chucked out of some planes, and Dadjangas falls to Imperial Japan. Not too bad so far.[:D]

Historiker -> RE: Land of The Giants (4/20/2012 12:02:59 PM)
The game is cooling down, somewhat. With the majority of his forces onshore in the PI, there's not much to do for my surface combattants that are left in this area. Many of them need repairs, others need updates. Still, the encounters were very successfull. While I've lost an old US CL with a top speed of just 24kn, 3 DDs and a couple of PGs, he has lost one pre-Dreadnought BB, a modern CL and a few DDs. Especially the lost BB is nice!

It is categorically denied the Katori has been sunk by the Yankee dogs. Katori is on a long good will cruise off South America ( Eastern Seaboard ), and will be off the Navy list's for some unspecified time. [sm=innocent0009.gif]

Latest update:- Turn 15 Headlines from 'The Tokyo Daily Mail': 16 June 1926 ......Stop Press...... Japanese Troops only 120miles from Peking, Government evacuates in a panic! In Manchuria Changchung falls to the might of the Japanese Army. Japanese troops enter Mutanchiang, a man in a bar predicts the city will fall any day now. In The Philippines Vigan and Naga fall to the advancing Japanese Terror. .....News just in...... Japanese troops are ashore at Wake Island!! The Nation erupts in giving thanks. The Emperor smiles a bit. Bagpipe playing becomes more popular amongst Japanese Naval officers ( see post #56 ) Marconi predicts every house will one day have a fully automated Telgraphical machine!! World Laughs at such foolish predictions. [image]local://upfiles/29250/62AE741BBB424D938BC8ACEFBEE0B6F1.jpg[/image]
