Well Luskan stuffed up not once but twice! First he forgot to tell his troops, whom are now starting the attack on Singapore, to fire and so I got s free hit with my arty killing 92 of the banananana boys. Second stuff up, he decided to have a crack at Trincomalee and got slapped by my coastal defence units, which cost him some DDs and I am sure I landed some hits on his BBs as well. But as you can see from the screenie I have lost sight of where all of his ships are..........not only that, I didn't even see the bloody things heading in! I have a major problem in the form of not having enough naval air search units....long range ones ! Now I have some on the West coast of the US and a LOT at PH but fat lot of good they are going to do me there. I will now have to look at staging some of the PBYs over to the Far East which is going to take at least 3 to 4 hops or load them onto a AK which will take at least 3 weeks (I'd have to sail under Australia to avoid the the bases that Luskan has setup in Burma/DEI.
