Borner invades Nevea.

Nevea captured by 4,000 Allied soldiers using fast transport. Several DD´s hit mines. 700 Japanese soldiers lost.

Ahhh, but a signal of things to come. A few mines at Nevea. At least a few thousand at bases important.

Tanker with 1 torpedo hit, will survive. Sub sunk, what sub? No subs were hit.

Status: offline 		Another DD that will be in dock for a few months. Not much more. Ike seems to be focusing his Sub mines at this island. that's fine, as nothing has been damaged badly enough to be at risk of sinking.

3 more AP's lost for Japan in the last two turns..... Not much, but it's a start.

The IJN get two big minelayers early in the game, Tsugaru and Okinoshima. Each can drop 600 mines at a time. If you sink these two the IJN loses 50% of its ML capability.

Believe me, they might only be worth a few points in the game, but overall each is as valuable as a CV to the Jap player.

Also, I have just realised after looking in the ship editor that sub layed mines are more powerfull than ship layed mines.......I had always thought it was the other way round! You learn something new every day

Great point Miller. Okinoshima took 2 torps before we had to go back because of his troops showing up everywhere, then took one after that, and Tsugaru took some good damage early but made port I beleive. 2 of his smaller ones are sunk, and another couple of them hit. Early on I put all my S-class around Lugna and Irau in hopes of catching his ML's, and found a couple. He also has lost 4 of his minesweepers, that hopefully will hurt over time as my named subs get to laying more minefields...... seeing as they are not useful for much else yet.

That is suprising, I had no idea. I assumed it was the opposite.

Status: offline 		IKE sends his carriers NW of Luganville, and his planes fly on the port. Nothing sunk, we will see if my carriers can catch his. Most of my subs have now had to leave the Rabaul area to re-load. It was fun while it lasted.

Trying to get his mine sweeper groups going between Nevea and Luganville, spotted the wrong group.

No chance of pulling me into your land based air. I kept at extended range. I did that mistake the last game remember?
