Ok - this was a bit of a bad turn for me, although things could be worse.
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 01/12/42
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TF 6 troops unloading over beach at Singkawang, 25,57 Operation Boris half over - I'll strom Pontiniak in a turn or two.
Japanese ground losses:
92 casualties reported
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TF 94 encounters mine field at Soerabaja (22,65) Ouch. Fortunately no real damage (14 sys) she'll do a quick refit once I've got Singapore.
Japanese Ships
CL Oi, Mine hits 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naval bombardment of Soerabaja, at 22,65 - Coastal Guns Fire Back! - I'd sighted a lot of ships in Soerbaja in single ship tfs. Thought Raver was getting cute so sent some heavies in to clean them out and bombard the place . . . only I set them to do not retire. Unfortunately all the tfs were subs.
Anyhow, the bombardment was a success (Raver lost over 20 aircraft on the ground that turn) and put the airfield out of kilter. Unfortunately Raver had lots of torpedo bombers at a nearby airfield that scored lots of hits on two of my BBs. Good thing the torps weren't that big, or at least not that deadly. I messed this up - they should have retired.
Good news is they're both under 30 sys, 30 flt and 30 fire so they'll both survive and make it back to a big empty repair yard in Japan. I'd guess 2 months out of action for the Ise, and about 4 for the Yamashiro.
Boris is still held up, Elation still going forward. Not a lot else happening in theatre.
