Now what gave you that idea that we are after Burma now? Would it be the big swarm of IJA forces next to the base? We could be doing a decoy to draw your attention from other areas. The Akagi is limping along at a good speed and will make port in 2 to 3 days if nothing major happens.

Americal Division and its supporting forces is now fully landed at Canton. Only remaining ships to unload are the AKs with supplies. I shall now withdraw the highly valuable APs to participate in other operations. The AKs shall continue to unload supplies, at least until the enemy carriers are spotted. Action in the Solomons is now limited to sporadic air raids on PM, and enemy subs congregating around Townsville. I wish I had more ASW units in the area, because they are training very well.

For some reason I can not get the forum site to come up on my home computer. I just get a balnk page when trying to access the site. I have a great pic of the BB California getting pounded by carrier bases plane as she trys to limp home but can not post it. [:(]

kaleun -> RE: Canton falls! (1/25/2006 6:17:47 PM)
A) I guess that means California will not be making it home[:(] B) You can e-mail me the pic, and I can post it

ADM Halsey -> RE: Canton falls! (1/25/2006 6:24:08 PM)
I am at work at the moment so I do not have the pic. You were lucky to be out of torp range so it was just a few bombs. Did you get the turn I sent that has the California being bombed?

kaleun -> RE: Canton falls! (1/25/2006 6:40:24 PM)
Nope. Hotmail sucks. I am at work now, but if it gets here before I leave, I can answer it faster than at home. (no wife unit)
