Par contre il semble que les alliées ne veulent pas que j'installe une base la bas haut proche de la frontière indienne...

27 Octobre 1942- on a eut chaud aux fesses....

Notre task froce en chasse du CVE et des transports à l'est de Caton island, fait une bien mauvaise rencontre
De jour une flotte de 4 navires de surface, comprenant un cuirassé attaque notre flotte aéronavale.
ET directement le cuirassé Nevada touche plusieurs l'akagi, déclenchant un petit feu. espérons que tout reste sous contrôle.
notre escorte s'interpose et touche plusieurs fois le Nevada avant de rompre le combat... On a eut très chaud!
Mais l'akagi est fortement endommagé, il faudra revenir à petit vitesse jusqu’au prochain port conséquent (Kwajalein island avant un probable retour au japon).

Peu après la fin de la bataille nos escadrilles décollent, a l'exception de celle du Akagi trop endommagé, et fonce sur la flotte ennemis, qui en 2 raid voit disparaitre le Nevada, et endommager fortement le CLAA San Juan.
Beaucoup plus de peur que de mal.... mais le retour n'est pas fini....
prions pour sauvegarder l'akagi même si il y aura de longue réparation.

SS Trout Enemy ship falsely reported sunk Originally reported sunk on turn 325 Information

aux aléoutiennes, notre flotte de combat intercepte une flotte de combat ennemis, de 3 navires, avec un cuirassé, le Mississippi... horreur nous n'avons que 3 croiseurs lourds et un croiseur léger. Bien qu'en nombre de vaisseau plus important nous avons peur d'avoir des pertes.
For heureusement plusieurs parametres vont nous aider.
1. on y voit rien dans le brouillard, on doit d'approcher pour combattre
2. le fait d’être proche permet à nos torpilles de toucher plus facilement.

Des les premiers échangent de tir, le Mississippi prend une torpille, puis 2 et 3..
malgré cela il reste à flot et peut tirer, endommagement fortement le croiseur léger Kitakami qui coulera plus tard.
nos destroyeurs arrivent à toucher de nouveaux avec 3 torpilles le montre de fer... qui coule rapidement ensuite. les navires d'escorte US ne font pas le poids ensuite.



Et ça s'engage mal, les américains cross the T...

Ça se défend ! Il évite une confrontation du type bataille décisive et essaye de me couler de gros bâtiments que je ne pourrais pas remplacer. Lors de la bataille de sa TF avec 1 cuirassé contre ma flotte aéronavale où il touche l’Akagi, il avait fait 3 autres flottes similaires, pour maximiser les chances d’engagements. Si les autres interviennent je suis mal.
Lors de la bataille qui lui coûte le BB Valiant il avait à côté une autre flotte de 3 BB récent.. si ils rentrent dans la danse je suis mort. Bref j’attaque ces flottes car j’en vois que des petites.. pareil aux Aléoutiennes j’y vais car il y a en que 3. Avec 5 navires repérés je serais parti vite fait.... bref ça stratégie se défend mais il n’a pas de chance, ou alors j’en ai beaucoup
