Sneer -> RE: Great hunting west of Batavia (12/22/2005 5:20:21 PM)

Great hunting gets even more intense dispersing ships is great tactics against aerial attacks but not against CA hunting in the dark :-) - it is far easier sink few ships in the row than few from convoy I counted 35 sunk ships since beginning of operation. I'll do my best to increase this amount. I hope I'll sink some more AP/TK as their loss shoul hurt Raver in short term may be problematic as Kates numbers goes systematiclydown as well as sorties - I will not manage to go to base , refit and come back so efficiency of aerial attack will go lower I doubt I will post anything during next few days Merry Christmas to all of you who have fun reading this AAR AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/13/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coastal Guns at Iloilo, 42,56, firing at TF 85 TF 85 troops unloading over beach at Iloilo, 42,56 10 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.
