   Well, that's an interesting target.   Our bombers make another run at Efate.   At least one Dutch sub survives.   I'm getting a lot of contacts at Efate, so its time to send the carriers out again for some fun!  Aww, no landing craft.

Shouldn't a Higgins boat simply cease to be after taking a direct hit from a 5.5" gun?

Can't confirm a kill if you can't find any wreckage.

I knew this game was insane but I didn't realize it tracked individual LCVPs, god drat. That's like it tracking the individual lifeboats on each ship.

I'm wondering what a landing craft was doing out in that channel. The current is really strong. Maybe they tried to land on the leeward side of Oahu and got sucked out to sea. Pixel man Eddie would go.

Magnetic pistols were so sensitive that they could be set off not only by ships but by the aurora borealis, undersea iron ore deposits, and variations in the Earth's magnetic field. There is a reason why only the US and the Germans (so far as I can tell) used the drat things.

I know that when the higher German officials were trying to get to the bottom of the torpedo scandal they found that there was a statistically higher failure rate during times when the Aurora Borealis was prominent, but the failure rate was so high that it may have been coincidence.

It doesn't really, but you get a pool of them can "buy" landing barges and PT boats on-site with supply. You don't have to sail them across the Pacific like the other ships.

  The Liberator raids continue, but they don't normally do any real damage. We bag one today though.  We fail to crack a fort level here.   We cause more casualties than we take – is this the beginning of the end at Hankow?  We advance a few more miles.  We're winning in Hankow! Lets hit them again tomorrow!

Forts rebuilt by the enemy to level 3, one IJA division off to rest meaning ewual numbers and 10% casualties versus marginal attrition without further progress. Noumea confirmed for Guadalcanal, even if Japan probably wins by reinforcing another division or exhausting allied supplies it has turned out too expensive and time consuming. Otoh that's 14-6 in the air today... Probabpy an anomaly from that particularily inefficient target being active and bad luck, but good job! And I suppose with Allied resistance collapsing in China Grey actually has what he needs to keep pushing in the Pacific if he's willing to slow down things in China a bit.

3 March 1943 Japanese destroyers Shirayuki and Tokitsukaze, sunk by air attack between New Britain and New Guinea in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea. Eight destroyers and eight transports carrying about 7000 troops set out from Rabaul to reinforce Lae on New Guinea, but intelligence alerted Allied commanders to its sailing and US Fifth Air Force and RAAF units were prepared to intercept. One transport was sunk on 2 March; the remaining seven were hit the next day, most fatally, along with the destroyer Arashio, which would sink the following day. Shirayuki carried the commander of the escort force; Tokitsukaze carried the commander of XVIII Army.

   Stingray! Stingray-Stingray!  I wish there was the option to ignore bases!  Well hello! What a bloody good time to sortie my carriers!  Another battleship and a destroyer sunk!  Time to clean up the support.  This is a good number of large ships, I have to wonder what the task force behind them is....  Afternoon comes, and the steel rain continues!  The full, concentrated might of the Japanese carrier fleet is awesome to behold.  Even the ground bases planes help.   Another liberator killed!  They are no longer fatigued – did we kill all the tired ones yesterday?  So I think I picked a good time to sortie the Butais! That was blind luck that lead me into a major Allied task force.  They took some very heavy losses. And the best thing?  It looks like they are being followed by a now unprotected invasion force.

Honolulu and St Louis are modern CLs, better than anything the Japanese get except for the Mogami in its CL configuration. That's a really good pair of ships to sink.
