Hi this game uses reflections written in War room where I argued against PH attack I have one PBEM game running under this condotions where all assumptions proved right here is sth for you to watch. I count on Raver strongly to make this game really bloody AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/07/41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack at 43,49 Japanese Ships DD Arare DD Tanikaze DD Hamakaze DD Urakaze DD Shiranuhi CL Abukuma CV Kaga Allied Ships SS S-36 That was not planned but ended luckily-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack at 43,49 Japanese Ships PC Ch 4 MSW W.12 MSW W.11 APD APD-2 APD APD-1 DD Yamagumo Allied Ships SS S-36, hits 2, on fire First victim of the war – strange but it is game mechanics responsible – similar to midget subs at PH in real history – similar result -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Hong Kong , at 43,42 Japanese aircraft Ki-30 Ann x 66 Ki-51 Sonia x 34 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-30 Ann: 5 destroyed, 18 damaged Ki-51 Sonia: 1 destroyed, 16 damaged Allied Ships DD Scout, Bomb hits 7, on fire, heavy damage DD Thracian, Bomb hits 7, on fire, heavy damage DD Thanet, Bomb hits 7, on

bombing at 2000 feet 10 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet well,slightly too high price for 3 DDs which are probably in their 90s with damage now – chance of their escape reduced to extremaly low levels -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Khota Bharu , at 24,45 Japanese aircraft Ki-21 Sally x 22 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21 Sally: 9 damaged Runway hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Alor Star , at 24,44 Japanese aircraft Ki-30 Ann x 24 Ki-48 Lily x 54

hits 33 First of airfield attack on Malaya – with a bit of good luck losses/disruption will be high enough to prevent any offensive use of UK Air force -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Georgetown , at 23,44 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 58 Ki-46-II Dinah x 1 Ki-15 Babs x 1 Allied aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses Ki-43-Ib Oscar: 1 destroyed, 7 damaged Allied aircraft losses Blenheim IF: 3 destroyed Buffalo I: 3 destroyed Allied ground losses: 14 casualties reported

3 Runway hits 39 With 1 time zone surprise attack rule attack can be much more devastating then in all other scenarios In my estimation POW is out of use and unable to leave port 70-80+ damage expected (within range of my 2e bombers) Vendetta,Danae,Mauritius are probably tied to port for a few turns too -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air
