Port Moresby falls on our second attack and 13 enemy units surrendered, including two US regiments... the enemy lost 600 pts to ground losses this turn, losses in China included! While Rabaul still holds Port Moresby falls as expected and it has cost the enemy several hundred first line aircraft, 20000 troops and several ships... the Japanese lost about 50-70 aircraft, a couple of small freighters and a carrier was torpedoed (light damage) so to sum it up it wasn't worth it trying to hold Port Moresby... I always advocate to make a stand at Port Moresby and I consider this base to be well suited to do this but trying to hold Rabaul and Port Moresby in early 42 only works if the Japanese isn't committed...

Well done at PM. Caveat: I've virtually zero late-war game knowledge. That said, aside from preventing an auto-victory, your opponent has to be sweating a bit. Sink CVs: check. Sink TKs: check. Destroy Chinese LCUs: Check, Check, and Check. Now you can add some nice Western units to the list.

I don't think Ed is sweating yet because I have not gone far in terms of territory. Victory point value is somewhere around 3,5:1 but getting it up further is only possible if I continue to really hurt him while not taking losses which isn't that easy.

I can then counter any attempt to relief these troops with my ground units and several hundred IJAAF medium bombers that can fly from Canton's level 8 airfield... guess Ed thought I would panic with his move in Southern China but this is probably the worst place to try something like this...

Tojos on sweep get a 2:1 which isn't all that impressing and the combat replay did look way better but that's the result of their sh*tty gun value... if the Tojos had a gun value of 14 or 16 the result would be like 4:1 in air losses...
