So the game started, i have mixed feelings about it. I have been more busy after my vacation started than normal.[sm=00000007.gif] My opponent had to wait for 15days for the first turn and was getting irritated so i abandoned some of my plans. I went with a conservative start and even forgot some plans i had written down. But it could have been worse i guess.[8|] I didnt break up KB as i chickened out with little time to finish the turn. Main landings this turn where Phillippines> Iba and San Fernando Malay >Kota Bharu and Singora Northern Borneo> Miri I can post more if i get some time and if anyone is interested, im little short on time. Saturday im leaving to Netherlands and when i get back next week i leave straight to Lebanon. So the game moves slow until those trips are done. AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Dec 07, 41 The worst thing that happened is that BB Kongo is probably gone, she took 4 torps of Kota Bharu.[:(] quote:

PH strike was ok i think, those minisubs made it this time. [:D] I got some good hits, explosions, listings and engine damage and most of the BBs are out for some time. Those sunk DDs, hits on cruisers and auxiliaries where an nice plus. Usual damage on the airfied strike. I didnt change anything about the strike, i have tested different settings for the airstike and nothing seems to improve it. quote:

He is moving forces from Lingayen to Iba, seems he was expecting this landing so its going to get hot there. This is the only ship i lost in the first turn, i have some AKs with bomb hits in Malay and Philippines but atleast they are empty soon. Next turn im sure i will loose some and Kongo probably.
