2 November, 1943 BURMA: Nothing going on here but I did notice that due to the update most of the AA regiments mysteriously lost their 75mm guns? Any thoughts? CENT PAC: The TF at Marcus seems to drop more supply and then leaves. Before getting out though another midget sub attack sinks the Julia Luckenbach. As the ships pull away our Jakes get into it and sink a small freighter, the xAK Ensley City, with 5 x 50kg. Our troops bombard (with 2 guns) to see what is still here, and low and behold, there are still at least portions of two divisions, a tank battalion and two base forces! We destroy 4 devices with the two guns. I'll send in the Netties next turn and see what they can do. SW PAC: Moved recon in close to have a look at NE OZ. ECON: Curious to see how the economy will react to my recent changes, slowing base building, turning off some engines and planes, changing up ship building a bit and generally streamlining. Trouble is my tracker suddenly won't run the global industry area won't work to show differences per turn. Grrrrrr. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR November 1, 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submarine attack near Marcus Island at 123,85 Japanese Ships SSX Ha-29 Allied Ships xAK Julia Luckenbach, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage xAK Julia Luckenbach is sighted by SSX Ha-29 SSX Ha-29 launches 2 torpedoes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Marcus Island at 130,85 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 39 NM, estimated altitude 7,000 feet.
