December 8th - 41 ______________________________________________________________________________ A very unusual opening by my opponent. ------------------------ DEI ------------------------ Part of the KB show up outside Mersing covering a massive armada. The AE engine begins the war by moving Force Z only 3 hexes during the turn and massive attacks are launched against the TF. quote:

Not much unlike the real events. Both the Repulse and PoW will have to be scuttled. Next turn will see a massive landing at Mersing dooming Singers to a early grave. Allied troops will assemble in Central Malaya instead. ------------------------ Philippines ------------------------ Only a smaller LBA strike hit the port at Manila. Airfield is untouched! quote:
