Ok...the good news is that our most valuable ships are safe (no naval air strikes today). The bad news is that those CD guns are worse than foreseen and we lost a HUGE number of ships...especially the transport merchants....
...Rader bombed Hakkodate...he paid me back with the same poisoned coin, damn him ...still don't have the turn so i don't know the exact numbers... bloody as hell anyway!
And the damned ground attack routine made our bombers attack some troops at Aikita instead of Hachinoe...(probably that unit strat moved...)
Forts there seems to be huge anyway...
Gotta run for the office now... here's the tcombat txt guys...
