About an hour ago I got the turn...I am running it now. It will be an incredible blood bath, but for whom? This anticipation is one of the great things about the game![:)]

Jan 2, 1942 Here we go...[sm=innocent0001.gif] This was my lowest numbered task force. [image]local://upfiles/44178/DC973C244C8448BC8FEE7A6C744AE7B6.jpg[/image]

Round 2... [image]local://upfiles/44178/F515C62B095D4871A0857043AC11D5F5.jpg[/image]

Haruna lands a few 36cm hits on the POW, at least 4 20cm hits bounce off the armor, others set fires and destroy devices on the deck and in the superstructure. [image]local://upfiles/44178/EC208540CBB34FC1B691438B5FA659CA.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 5:00:37 PM)
Many 20cm hits bounce off the armor, but several penetrate and then a torpedo hit! Notice the POW has broken off into an escort task force. [image]local://upfiles/44178/FA447356155749139E50FDD2D5D00AFB.jpg[/image]

The Jintsu races in, and lets her torpedoes loose insanely close. The first explodes but the second hits, but fails to explode! [image]local://upfiles/44178/C55DA65B7A08476CA79E724B3986760A.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 5:28:22 PM)
The Chokai races in and knocks out the fire control on the Pensacola with the first 20cm salvo...then the fight begins in earnest. Can Chokai survive? [image]local://upfiles/44178/BD7BA8A1835040C5BBFF68C2EDD97539.jpg[/image]

The dratted Yanks dodge about 6 torpedo salvos.... [image]local://upfiles/44178/392D8D8C605C4681B34A4E433DB964B6.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 5:41:39 PM)
Damage to her engines, and the Salt Lake cannot escape.... nearby the Chokai founders and slips under.[:(] [image]local://upfiles/44178/966704FBE976475DABCACD0BAE12FF2A.jpg[/image]

Then the battles at night are over, and in the afternoon the Allies strike back.. [image]local://upfiles/44178/77A9E75D5A2F42768954141A7B6AF02F.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 5:50:52 PM)
The Alpha strike...darn I had guessed right where the Allied carriers would be no night engagement. 1 cruiser sunk, another most likely down. [image]local://upfiles/44178/1E43AE4BC0F44E7B85454F0BB23D8E5A.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 5:52:20 PM)
Two small strikes miss... [image]local://upfiles/44178/54EC99AF489C4D4F9D81498827CEED9C.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 5:56:25 PM)
Incredibly violent! [image]local://upfiles/44178/ED4DC2927E0E4706BE08D67565A0A3DE.jpg[/image]

Lokasenna -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 7:07:36 PM)
Ick. Risky move with Kongo, too. Would not have sent an SCTF that small.

MakeeLearn -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 7:13:07 PM)
That's an aggressive use of Allied carriers this early in the war.

Dirtnap86 -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 8:43:50 PM)
Losing 2 modern CAs like that is going to come back to bite later though. The Allies get lots of BBs. And Repulse is just a BC, very thin armor. Better hope you got all his slow BBs at Pearl.

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/1/2017 9:46:48 PM)
Scenario 1 game, every loss hurts. I think the Allies decided that every starting ship is expendable.

Better hope you got all his slow BBs at Pearl. I agree, although add the caveat that Repulse gets decent AA later in the war and can free up a fast BB from a CVTF.

Bif1961 -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/2/2017 1:23:15 PM)
It was a knife fight and most of his damaged vessels are deep inside your zone so they probably will be hunted down and killed. His big goal now is to get the Lexington out of harm's way.

His big goal now is to get the Lexington out of harm's way. Let's hope so. The POW was only in one fight, took several good 36 & 20 cm hits. She ran out of op points either thru refueling or damage or both and only made 1 hex. I want to finish her so badly.

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/2/2017 8:12:37 PM)
Turn is away...I fully expect another blood bath tomorrow. We shall see what happens!

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/2/2017 11:41:23 PM)

Board is eating my posts...

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/3/2017 1:00:43 AM)
Incredibly no other fights during the night...which is bad since my ships are created for night fighting. During the morning the Aussies show up, and right off the bat the Nachi eats a few 8" shells...but then we find the range and all is good. LeTriomphant is my favorite Allied ship!

Got called away and no screen shots for the rest of the day...have to watch the replay again.

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/3/2017 11:14:21 AM)
Then this strange ABDA fleet shows up and fights remarkably well...the Java does take a couple of 20cm hits. [image]local://upfiles/44178/0D94974B29314606B1F43BB86C15F102.jpg[/image]

Poor Nachi... [image]local://upfiles/44178/CF129CD597A14542B51BB53905927EE4.jpg[/image]

The massive firepower on the Oscar manages to bring down absolutely none of the Buffaloes. There should have been more naval fights... [image]local://upfiles/44178/DBE7743DEB3D43F7BE03A8CCB2CA7FF5.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: The Dutch are the first to Die! (5/3/2017 11:25:14 AM)
But the Oscars are good enough to know the bison out of the air allowing free access to the Sonia. [image]local://upfiles/44178/F5E0A9399C6F4691A8B85E3F79568949.jpg[/image]
