A carrier attack takes out the battleship Legaspi...


Wait Wut??







Did you do an art update? The label says the ship is an xAP - on an Iowa class hull! Must be a secret Philippine navy project.

Every ship I know I am going to lose is loading up fuel to reduce the amount left for Japan. Come to think of it, every ship I think is going to live is doing the same thing :P

I also shut off production to Miri, Palembang, Medan. It may not be much but every 1000 gallons of fuel he doesnt have is another delay he must suffer through to get to his objectives. And I dont expect him to be easy on me this game.



That is not cricket!

Ahh, but it's a good idea! I loaded em up but for some reason didn't think to turn off production of oil! Doh!

You cannot turn off the oil but you can turn off the refineries so when he gets there he has to process it. :]

I love NJP like a brother so I want this to really hurt!!

The cloaking device on my AKL appears to be ineffective.

3 turns in.

NJP is taking a much more measured approach than last time. The objectives appear to be the same however his retreat path with the KB is not. It moved northwest and now southeast putting it 8 hexes west of Pearl Harbor.

Those of you that choose to read both AAR's are going to know his intentions.

He has recon up at Tay tay and will have it up at Jolo by next turn. The micro KB is moving west toward Morotai and there are several STF's heading towards the Moluccas and Ceram as typical.

His progression around Malaya and Borneo are tepid. I am not sure if that is for fear of the POW or other design.

We will see soon enough!

Last game my remaining warships engaged the KB and caused damage.

It is either to cover those invasions or to hopefully catch some of my STF's out in the open.

I am not using the same tactics as last game so that really didnt work with the exception of a sub hunting destroyer.

KB is well positioned to go after those moves. I bet he is ticked that the ASW DD drew a strike and spoiled his doubling-back surprise.

I am avoiding the KB like it has VD...

Lexington went west to pick up the detatchemnt on Wake and will proceed south. Enterprise is ahead of her. Need to find a berth for a year or two. I dont like trying to take on the KB with pieces of a carrier fleet.

In stock, Legaspi is an xAKL. This game shows it as an xAP. In the changeover the art reference # may have been borked.

If you check the thread it has been seen by other players. The Legaspi is coded wrong for the ship. I have seen it before. I think there are a few more small craft with weird profiles or no profiles.

Funny to see though :]

A few small ships die. NJP creeps closer to Malaya with ships.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! DANGER !!! DANGER!!!

The Enterprise and Lexington have been moving south southeast trying to avoid the KB.

Well, this turn both of the TF's get spotted and the KB has disappeared into the mists...

I figured it was something like that! My posts seem to go up immediately but I am on an extra-high speed ISP plan.

This happened with me when I first started my BTS scenario.

I had failed to download all of the new artwork associated with the scenario.

I went back and got all the artwork I had missed and now rarely encounter a ship with no artwork.

Although I do still have the battleship Legaspi.
