Well the war is going good so far - despite my naval losses near Wake. The Dutch subs are still catching my ships and putting torps into them - but luckily nothing went down today. My subs are doing their usual crappy job... I-7 had the nearly crippled BB Nevada pass right past her and she missed... My subs are now 0 for 13 - they are worthless - maybe I should stop production on more subs and save the construction points for something useful - like merchant ships.... I finally got a good air attack on Singapore, putting a crimp on Rob's air force there. He put in a sneak air raid on Saigon's ports, putting two bombs into the BB Kongo which was in port from some earlier damage. She is hurt enough to send to a repair yard now. In China I have taken my first 2 bases: Ichang and Yenen - both with Rob left undefended for me.. Not sure why as they have resources, but I'm not complaining. In the SRA, I took Jolo (between PI and Borneo). It has a nice airfield and it will give me air command over most of the SRA once its up and running... My baby CV TF roaming around south of PI has bagged a lot of ships so far - far more than the KB has. So for all you Japan wannabes - hook up your baby carriers and cruise around there for easy kills... Just don't get to close to land base planes or you might get smacked... Luckily I haven't yet and I'm pulling back to rearm and resupply before my luck runs out.
