AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR May 12,13 42
So Scoodra falls and the japs have cestabilish another base that closes any access to India, which now relies only on the narrow passage of the Aden Channell which is flooded with subs.
We managed to sink one of them today with an ASW patrol and to damage 2 more with my ASW planes...however it becomes every day more risky to move ships in-out the channell...an AK full of supplies was torpedoed and sunk just out of the channell and despite my efforts more than 20 japs subs are patrolling the 4 hexes that lead from off-map to in-map lanes...

GreyJoy: Looks like a great time to invade the Gilberts and Marshalls. He seems quite single-minded on India after bringing all those troops to the party on Scoodra. Good luck.
The only thing I can say is watch out for CDs on some of those islands. Milli and Wotje come to mind as being nasty. You might load up a GC scenario as Japan to see what they have.
Cheers,
CC
Yes, i've checked...Milli and wotje both have strong naval CD guns...i wanna however land at first at Tarawa, Makin, Abenama, Ocean and Nauru. When and if i'll have estabilish a strong position in this arc of isles i'll consider landing on other islands more northwards (wotje and Milli above all).
Thanks CC...hope it's really like you said... the Marshalls have been absolutely quiet till now but the presence of those 3 TFs around Baker makes me be a little bit scared...
