The Americans are very short ammo, no main gun ammo left, only 5"...just can't close enough to finish them off.

True Believers...we are still at it slugging! Still have some main gun ammo and score some hits at range!

And then we are done...and Allied bombers show up at Palembang down very low, 2K.

We are ready for them and suffer no damage...

Turning into the wind, our carriers launch several small raids at the many spotted targets.

We hate Boise!

our strikes are moving counter clockwise...I think these guys are toast, either today or tomorrow when we let loose three fresh battleships with full ammo...

Our strikes are still finding ships to attack...Indianapolis didn't look good...a large fiery burning smoking mess.

The Akagi group has some torpedoes left...and that's the war for Australia. What will he rename Australia II to?

A very risky strategy to charge your fleet like that without air cover. Looks like you came out well on top, well done!

And that is the day....Australia sunk for sure, and Pensacola I think sinks too.

Our intel reports Portland, Australia and Concord sunk...

Nagato and Yamashiro just bounced all the hits off their armor...with plentiful destroyer support they were never targeted with torpedoes.

Releasing the 2nd wave of battleships with very light destroyer escorts...one BB and one or 2 DDs. All good order destroyers rearming at Manus, and the CVs will move to nail more shipping.

That 9 ship Allied Task Force is the light cruiser SAG from post 331. Heavily damaged Phoenix, St. Louis etc.

Not finished yet in the Solomon Seas...American CVs are still over in the Marshalls bombing empty ports. If he slips a few hexes further north hopefully well escorted Betties will strike him.

In China doing ok...

One way to deal with the rail blockers would be to air lift part of the unneeded garrison units to make a fragment, then use those fragments to surround the rail blockers before the rail blocker is attacked by land. A good use for those short ranged transports. Bombing and bombardment will help finish the rail blockers.

Anything can deal with those. As long as it gets there, and that takes time, time that the rail stays blocked.

Also, China has practically unlimited supply of those small units. Divide corps into ABC and send BC to roam. When BC get destroyed err.. I mean heroically die in the line of duty of course, reform corps from A, immediately divide into ABC and send BC out... Repeat ad infinitum. I'm always surprised Allied players not using those roving masses of Chinese bands more. Super historical too. Can be dealt with properly maintained Japanese frontline which also mitigates the killer stack deep strikes nonsense

Lok has started an AAR...drop in. What an odd title, perhaps dealing with my Singapore strategy?

Dec 24, 1941

2nd fight of the night...both American task forces manage to escape after very few rounds fired.

I am of the opinion when a task force flees combat, it is using flank speed...
