toraq -> RE: I´ve seen things, you people wouldn´t believe (2/4/2005 8:30:36 PM)

This one is good...i´ve stolen from a UV post (Radzy). It is a total nightmare...Jap. surface fleet almost defeated. I can´t believe it!. I´m now looking for a naval engament where an Allied CL fired shots like a lion...Still looking for it.
""Kondo went down The Slot in desperate need of bombarding Henderson Field which was causing troubles in supplying the remaining Japanese forces on Guadalcanal. He got surprised on 4 kilo yards by my task force led by Normie Scott (he was eager to kick some Japanese asses after loosing 1CA and 2CLs few days earlier...). He crossed the T, got Japs with their pants down and here's result
Night Time Surface Combat, near Lunga at 38,40

Effect: 3CAs, CL sunk. BB and 3DDs finished next day by planes. No losses on US side (Sims drifted to Tulagi ). It is of course lucky, full suprise engagement, but I've got few more in which heavier equipped enemy forces had bad luck. Few times my TF was creamed by the enemy light forces also. ""
