Just got into my first PBEM game.... but am kinda curious about something... I'm playing the allies, and as usual, I'm trying to get my ships outta the SRA on a mad-dash to safety. Is there a good rule of thumb about "how many" ships I should lose by the time I'm outta there? Because each ship that gets sunk, even PC's and PG's, I get this "omg the war is so lost for me" feeling.... and I KNOW that a lot of ships aren't going to make it. I'm mostly talking about transports and little craft..... I've got most of my actual warships DD and above outta there, or at least in a position to if I lose them, I lose them because I chose to in battle. In fact, in my aar that will soon be updated, you'll be able to hear about the great naval battle of Palembang Straights. A teaser, in the last turn, as my PoW and 2 DD escorts departed Singapore, I forgot to click on a react range to 0, and left it at 6. (Yeah, 10000 mouseclicks for turn one, and I was one click short on the most important ship that had a chance)... but I got lucky, and m 2 DD's and PoW raked a collection of DD's and AP's landing. The PoW took 7 shells and a torp, and ended up with, lol, 2 sys, 1 float, and 1 fire damage. Now, I've got a good number of CL's and DD's, including the Repulse, formed in a TF and are going to strike the landing fleet again.... however... I noticed the BB's haruna and Kongo have moved on an apparent path to that landing sight... so there might be a big battle, might not. But anyhow, that's besides the point... the question is, should I rejoice that "any" ships made it out of the SRA in a PBEM game, or should I be able to get "most" of my ships out of the SRA...
