Auch in unserem Spiel bedeutet der Angriff auf Pearl Harbor den Auftakt zum Krieg zwischen den USA inkl. den restlichen Alliierten und Japan. Aber nicht nur bei Hawaii wurden Schlachten geschlagen, auch nördlich der Philippinen, Malaysia und China. Wir denken, dass der Auftakt recht vielversprechend war. Exemplarisch soll hier der Combat Report des Luftangriffs auf Pearl Harbor angegeben werden.

Zurück bleiben weithin sichtbare, weil brennende Schiffe der US Navy. Insgesamt konnten 10 Schiffe als bestätigt versenkt gemeldet werden. Diese sind:
Allesamt wurden durch Flugzeuge versenkt. Leider ist es uns nicht gelungen die BC Repulse zu versenken. Zumindest konnte dies nicht bestätigt werden. Aber das Schiff musste gehörig einstecken. Zwei Angriffswellen wurden auf den britischen TaskForce Verband, bestehend aus BB Prince of Wales und der BC Repulse, geflogen und letztgenanntes Schiff steckte dabei 4 Torpedos ein. Vielleicht schleppt sich der Battle Cruiser ja noch in einen nahen Hafen, vielleicht aber auch nicht. Unsere Uboote rund um Singapore wurden auf jeden Fall auf erhöhte Alarmbereitschaft gesetzt.
Batan Island wurde als erobert vermeldet, was aber nicht weiter verwundert, lag die kleine Insel uns doch regelrecht zu Füßen, da unbewacht.
Jetzt gilt es sich erst einmal einen Überblick zu verschaffen und die nächsten möglichen Schritte auszuloten. An dieser Stelle werde ich mir etwas Zeit nehmen, bevor ich mit meinen ersten Gedanken an die Öffentlichkeit gehe. Weiterhin gilt es die strategischen Häfen und Basen von Japan festzulegen. Hier bin ich total unerfahren und werde die Nacht erst einmal mit der Nase im Anhang des Handbuches zubringen.
