On a positive note, that will make my first turn quicker / less slow.

Is that a quirk of the mod or the game settings selected?
Not that it matters now, it’s just that turn 1 of my Scen 1 game I could change shipbuilding.

The game does not populate the reinforcement queue for ships until turn 1 is run because it does not know what setting you will select for reinforcement. Some other things happen, like assignment of random captains to ships and leaders to LCUs and Air Units that do not have one already designated in the database.

+1. This has caused me some confusion in the past during turn 1 setup myself.

As expected a lot of Allied ships were sunk, mostly in the PI.
I did a second raid on Manila, and of course the fighter sweeps came
in after the bombers, but the first wave was well escorted, so I lost
a few bombers, but not too many.

I will be just sweeping Manila and Clark this turn, I am moving some of
the Netties to Babeldaob( I do have an air HQ there)

I took Kota Bharu, Guam, Makin and Mergui( para droop ) and
the island of Langkawi was occupied by the land base row boat
unit.

KB-1 is going to support Wake, and KB-2 is headed to the Solomon Island
area to support landings there.

KB-3 is currently just West of Panay and is moving South to both sink more ships
fleeing the PI and to support DEI landings. I made an error and apparantly clicked
on Ground Attack instead of Naval Attack for the Kates, so they made an afternoon
attack on the 71st PA Inf Div there. I am sure that will confuse Kris.
They have been reset to Naval attack.

KB-4 ( 3 x CVL ) are North of Singkawang escorting for the invasion fleet to arrive.
There is a BB support SCTF with them, not repeats of last game.
A bit behind them is an Amphib TF with an air HQ and a BF. Netties will move here
in a few turns and be torpedo equipped.

I now have 60 Netties at Babeldaob, torpedo equipped, and in invasion fleet ready for Ambon.

Ships sunk:

Sorry to hear that, Bill. Hopefully he's on the mend soon. I'm also sorry that you've been seemingly snakebit in your PBEM games of late. Here's hoping that your luck improves on all counts-and soon!

-------------------------------------------------
Second encounter:

At least 5 of the hits are from 20CM guns.

CL Boise, Shell hits 10, heavy fires, heavy damage
DD John Barry, Shell hits 2, on fire
DD Mayrant
DD Trippe

CA Ashigara, Shell hits 1
DD Mutsuki, Shell hits 1
DD Kisaragi, Shell hits 1, on fire

--------------------------------------------------------
In the daytime:
No CL Boise in this TF
Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Tandjoengselor at 68,93

Weather in hex: Moderate rain

Raid spotted at 4 NM, estimated altitude 18,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 1 minutes

Japanese aircraft
A6M2 Zero x 10
D3A1 Val x 22

Japanese aircraft losses
D3A1 Val: 1 damaged

Allied Ships
DD John Barry, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage

--------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe she went down.

Air losses were light on both sides

Again as expected I sank a number of ships
and lost the DD Mochizuki

Status: offline 		One thing I have figured out is that I did not put enough Surface Combat TFs into the Sulu and Celebes sea areas.
My single 3 CA TF ran out of ammo it had so many fights. There were three other I did not show in the post above.

Status: offline 		Does your 'destroyed on field' aircraft losses column for the turn have a few seaplane entries on it? Cross-reference that number with the type and number found on the CL Boise for a more accurate determination. I've never (at least not that I recall) had a false listing of aircraft losses in this manner from a ship that DIDN'T sink. IOW-if you see the right entry, the ship's a goner. If not, probably not.

Actually, I now have too many games going right now. And, I believe that CB and I differ greatly
on house rules.
