Hi all

I've just reached the second week of January 42 in scenario 2. Total losses for each side are

Allies:

2 x BB (sunk at Pearl)
1 x PT (Off of Manila by a Japanese AP)
1 x AP (Sunk by aircraft off of Singapore)

Japanese:

1 x MSW (Hit a mine off of Singapore)
1 x AK (sunk by dutch sub off of Formosa)

This seems an incredibly small number of ships compared with the historical accounts, is anyone else witnessing anything similar?

Of course it could just be that I'm having an exceptional game and that the IJN and the allied forces have decided that shooting at each other really doesn't make sense.

Plenty of fighting on land though....the Chinese really are awful.

In my game, both the AI and I have much more sunk..I have lost the Revenge, Repulse, CA marblehead, about 4 destroyers, and about 4 transports..also have Prince of Wales and several other damaged...(not including PH)
the AI have lost 1 CVL, 1 CA, alot of transports to the mighty Dutch navy, and various subs...also another CA but it has not shown up on the sunk list yet

I'm at 17/1/1941, got 35 confirmed allied ships and lost 12 (japanese) ships untill now.

The chinese really surprised me the last week in december 41.
Was caught with my pants down, suddenly there where 4 chinese corps making several shock attacks on a town with a small garrison.
So after looking at combat report after their first shock attack I was really stunned, thinking "He it's december Jan 1941 I am suppose to be taking names, I'm the one on the offensive!"

BTW, this is scenario 15.

I am into 20th of Jan 42 alot of AKs, APs lost for the Japanese. But very few Combat ships. I pulled just about every ship out of PI and DEI, and singapore. Repulse is the only one at the bottom. My lost to ships would be much higher if i pushed harder. I think its just about correct. Depends on the decisions we make and the forces that seek each other out or bump into one another.

I would save its very historical considering that i no were he probley will land his time frame to do it in.
