If he thinks about what he is doing, he will withdraw.

He's got time on his side, there is no need to rush.



He has never withdrawn. Never done a ploy. It is straight ahead with the most he can bring. It is how I managed to trash him so badly during the Java campaign.

I think he has infinite faith in his fighter pilots...even with his carriers down 200 planes, I think he keeps topping off the CVs from the CVEs...I will find out more tomorrow.

He has to leave some of his bombers on naval strike, but I fear he may well move his deathstar to the east to avoid having Hirosaki and Ominato within range effectively moving away from great trap at Hirosaki -- which I guess is ok since it will mean all the destroyers will live for the blitz tomorrow.

I have been careful to maintain search along his supply line, and haven't spotted anymore ships yet.

I would really like to knock off some carriers tomorrow, because I think his plane strength is right on the edge of a mountain, a little push, and everything will come falling down and his ships won't be able to run away fast enough.

Not everyone is up at 5am Jocke!

And it's night in the US still, so unless he's like you and wakes up to run the turn, we may have a few hours left here waiting.

In the half moonlight of the night, the midgets are the first encounter.

Look at that scatter...

One hex east of Kushiro, where the first midget encounter happened above.

Hopefully their sacrifice won't be in vain!

one MTB boat is lost.

The one consolation is the Minneapolis has heavy fires and heavy damage...surely there is no hope for her.
