Status: offline 		So I've played about a week and a half worth of turns and have seen some carnage. Seems like shipping is a lot more vulnerable than in WitP. Two examples (One I have a combat report for, and the other I don't).


When playing around experimenting with turn 1 I managed to get Enterprise TF too close to KB which was falling back from PH. Not one ship in the task force survived the initial strike. WOW! I never saw anything like it in WitP, I put a hurting on things for sure, but this was a slaughter.

Second, playing around the SRA, I had the Asiatic Fleet (Houston, Marblehead, plus DD screen) charge at Kuching in a bad weather turn. Here's what transpired:

After such encounter, Japanese sailors usually only remember seeing a bright flashing light, and nothing that could explain what happened to all their comrades who perished.
