I don't think it's the best PH attack ever. I lost 30 pilots, Kates were mauled by flak.
The result was no BB sunk, according to my intel, but several heavily damaged. PH repair
yard can only service three of these monsters, the rest have to wait until these three
finish or risk a journey to the west coast.

Ryujo is sent to hit the port of Tarakan. Seeing three Cas fleeing south,
maybe I should have set my Kates to naval attack. Anyway, my thinking was
to take advantage of the magic move and position my CVL where it can hit
allied shipr fleeing from Manilla.

Pathetic. Sending IJA "bombers" to hit ships is questionable.
I ordered the few Mabels and Vals under China command to also
hit Hong Kong port but they failed to take off.

Allied BBs ate a total of 31 torpedos, but 7 are still floating.
They must be seriously damaged though.

Olorin (J) vs Sdhundt (A) --- GC (No Sdhundt please) - 
, I’ve previously played two times against the AI until March 42, mainly to learn game mechanics and form a Japanese strategy. I am currently playing the Japanese in a Guadalcanal pbem and wining (so far). I hope my learning will continue through this game, but I also hope to win . My opponent Sdhundt is an experienced Allied player, so I expect much more resistance than what the AI offered me until now.
