9/12/44
tabpub tells me by mail -I did not expect this -and I have been caught out of position"
My notes say -"the last Huzzah" -and I asked myself -will i be dissapointed?
Probably
Well the turn started with a surface action
But not what I wanted -a single DD encounters a CV task force - 2cv, a cvl, a BB, ect, ect
Its over quick............
Buggar -despite a sea of green TF symbols -my ships see daylight with out engaging him -there are a few react messages -but basically I miss -the sisters are at Swatow -but no night action[:@]
Its inevitable what happens next
284 B-29 hit Shanghia
the airstrikes against the sisters is huge - yamato takes 10 bombs -many 2000 lbs, Mushia 8, haranua 5, Kirishima 2
His CVs mass attack Mutsu, ise -they sink, nagato as well as replay, after replay of air strikes goes in
Finally a surface action -yamato, Mushia 7 DD engage the first of what tabpub tells me were the only 2 SF TF in the area. The invasion fleet -defenceless, is one hex south of the port hex -fleeing (I sailed straight through it during the night[8|])
Unfortunately Hibiki is first to go[&o][X(]
Both BBs hit the CAs with 18 inchers - Sffolk3 times -dragon3 times, so Im dissapointed that they are not sunk
There are 3 rounds of combat, and mushia is sunk
(see tabpub AAR details)
Yamato is at 90 system damage at the end -so I get to check her out before I scuttled her
NOT A SKerrick of Ammo left -and no light guns iether -the bombs took all but a couple out
I scuttled her -as far as Im concerned, going down fighting better than scuttled in port[:)]
It took25 hits,2 torps, 10 bombs to sink yamato
Mushia 29 hits,13 bombs
A/C losses today -223 to his 41 -yesterday I forgot to tell -494 to 186
