A summarized combat report (more info as soon as I get the turn): quote:
In a series of engagements over two days, the two DDs that start in Hong Kong, while only hitting CA Chokai twice in return. At least that TF spent a lot of ammo and will have to rearm. xAKL Montanes eats two torpedoes courtesy of SS RO-65, near Talaud-eilanden. Pearl Harbor (one-day attack only): BB Washington, Bomb hits 4, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage BB Mississippi, Bomb hits 3, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage BB California, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 1 BB Tennessee, Bomb hits 5, Torpedo hits 2 BB Arizona, Bomb hits 6, Torpedo hits 1, heavy fires BB Nevada, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage BB Idaho, Bomb hits 3, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage BB New Mexico, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 2 BB Oklahoma, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 2 DM Preble, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage, Massive explosion AV Curtiss, Torpedo hits 1 APD Schley, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage CL Honolulu, Torpedo hits 1 P-40B Warhawk: 2 destroyed, 2 damaged P-40B Warhawk: 3 destroyed on ground F4F-3 Wildcat: 1 destroyed A-20A Havoc: 1 destroyed on ground B-17D Fortress: 1 destroyed on ground B-18A Bolo: 1 destroyed on ground PBY-5 Catalina: 2 destroyed on ground B-17E Fortress: 1 destroyed on ground P-36A Mohawk: 2 destroyed on ground O-47A: 1 destroyed on ground R3D-2: 1 destroyed on ground Repair Shipyard hits 12 Airbase hits 16 Runway hits 36 Port hits 19 A6M2 Zero: 1 destroyed B5N2 Kate: 23 damaged, 2 destroyed by flak D3A1 Val: 11 damaged, 5 destroyed by flak Manila: PG Asheville, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires PG Tulsa, Bomb hits 1 AVD Childs, Bomb hits 3, on fire, heavy damage ACM Colonel Harrison, Bomb hits 1, on fire, Massive explosion AS Canopus, Bomb hits 3, on fire AS Otus, Bomb hits 2, on fire AM Bittern, Bomb hits 1, on fire AM Lark, Bomb hits 2, and is sunk AO Pecos, Bomb hits 1, on fire AO Trinity, Bomb hits 1 TK Gertrude Kellogg, Bomb hits 1 TK La Estrella Caltex, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk TK Manatawny, Bomb hits 3 TK Mindanao, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires xAP Candesa, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk xAP Don Esteban, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk xAK Ethel Edwards, Bomb hits 1 xAK Governor Wright, Bomb hits 1 xAP Neptuna, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires xAK Ravnaas, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage xAK Si Kiang, Bomb hits 1 on fire xAK Tantalus, Bomb hits 1 xAKL Bisayas, Bomb hits 1, on fire xAKL Corregidor, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, Massive explosion xAKL Don Jose, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires SS S-38, Bomb hits 2, and is sunk SS S-40, Bomb hits 2 SS Sailfish, Bomb hits 1 SS Sargo, Bomb hits 3, and is sunk SS Saury, Bomb hits 2 SS Sculpin, Bomb hits 2 SS Seadragon, Bomb hits 1 SS Seal, Bomb hits 2, heavy damage SS Sealion, Bomb hits 3, and is sunk SS Searaven, Bomb hits 4 SS Seawolf, Bomb hits 2, heavy damage SS Skipjack, Bomb hits 1, heavy damage SS Snapper, Bomb hits 2 SS Spearfish, Bomb hits 3, heavy damage SS Sturgeon, Bomb hits 4, and is sunk P-40B Warhawk: 2 destroyed P-40E Warhawk: 5 destroyed PBY-4 Catalina: 3 damaged Repair Shipyard hits 14 Port hits 9 Port supply hits 1 Runway hits 1 A6M2 Zero: 5 destroyed B5N2 Kate: 6 destroyed D3A1 Val: 1 destroyed, 4 damaged, 1 destroyed by flak G3M2 Nell: 4 damaged G4M1 Betty: 10 destroyed, 3 damaged Balikpapan: SS I-127, Mine hits 1, on fire, heavy damage Clark Field: B-17D Fortress: 52 damaged (FOW...

(lost) Air assaults at Davao (lost), Victoria Point (lost). Now, I am no expert on the Allied side of things, but the result of the Pearl Harbor Attack was better than expected, while the Manila air raids were worse than expected. I did down a few IJN fighters and bombers (most probably less than reported), and Force Z is on the loose. I will listen to reason, but I think I did OK. Thoughts?
