Status: offline 		Also Lowpe you didnt adress the most important issue yet. How does your Sonia production look like, whats your R&D in that department and how do you plan to use them ?

Now imagine you had 300 Sonias and 200 Nates in the Marianas. You could sink the Lexingtom in the most embarassing way possible.
Death by 30 kg bombs and finished by a minisub.

I am doing Nell to Frances and skipping the Betty. Sally to Peggy and skipping Helen for the most part.

Not looking good for a midnight run in with the Lady Lex...

Destroyers sink an xap off Ternate, and then the Marblehead shows up near Taytay.

The light cruiser Adelaide shows up at Buin and sinks an xakl, but after the troops were offloaded to take Buin.

Overall a very bloody day; and tomorrow promises to be just as bloody.

You are 5 days hanging out at Pearl? How long will you/can you linger? Did you change to level bombing with the Vals to avoid flak?

As the Allies, I do not know if I would be happy to know KBs position for so long or frustrated that Pearl keeps getting pounded. My guess is happy to know where KB is located. The modern CLs are a tough loss but most Allied players see the BBs as fairly useless until they can be used as bombardment TFs.

The weather and combat screens are from mods near the end on another thread in the mod screen, along with art for the planes and symbols for the units.

I know Obvert is getting frustrated at Pearl. He has complained at the seemingly lack of AA losses. I can't stand those battleships, I was bombarded daily by 10 or more for six months. I place a high value on them...heck with what Obvert thinks about them. I want some on the bottom.

I am sure Obvert got frustrated with my multiple small task forces at Taytay...where they once again beat off superior Allied naval forces...sinking 5-6 destroyers for no loss. Early on night fights need really only have 2-3 ships to be super effective.

It does make for rough sleeping knowing the Allies know where the KB is...

The Vals went in at 16K. The Kates the normal 13K and they are still carrying a good percentage of 800Kg which are the nasty bombs. Plus I swept first.

I lingered this day...but I am debating about leaving, and trying to pincer the Enterprise of Lexington.

These turns are so massive, and so busy, I just realized I forgot to move a fast transport unit in...oh well.

More paratroop action tomorrow!

I need to get organized for my Ternate invasion and Balikpapen, but then Japan will probably pause to rearm, get better naval search up and start taking down the Allied fighters. 80 of them at Clark! Buffalos are missing from Singers. The Fighting Tigers showed up in a LRCAP and danced with Nates once over Ichang.

So much going on...and the Allies are fighting forward. Very fun if exhausting turns.

I recently installed the same map and after a few days of adjusting to it, I will now use it for the foreseeable future.

There are these real nice Shipping Coy with a few 41 IJA squads so that they even have some assault value...not only naval support going in, but rather plentiful engineers and AA guns too! Got to get the runway operational and protect that oil as I will be surrounded by big Allied bases.

Daylight comes for Pearl...two sweeps and a strike. The morning ritual. The Maryland explodes violently, perhaps another goes down too.
