Taking back my home port ...

[Snuffy]

Well now after having lost two home ports so far, (Manila & the one on Jawa), with my current mission ... destroy enemy shipping in the Phillipines, I've decided to try something "special".

Last night I saved my game with my Porpoise sitting outside of Manila bay. To night, I'm going to slip into the bay and see what kind of havoc I can create!

It'd be nice to have Manila back as a base, since the Phillipines seem to be the focus of all my recent missions, and now I have to sail to Austrailia to get armed and fueled, cuz as far as I know, every port north of Austrailia is in the hands of the Japs.

Probably not find anything in the bay of Manila. I went into Borneo after the Japanese took it. There was no ships to be found. I think the messages are just for immersion. Onc would hope Manila would be hopping with ships but I doubt it very seriously if you find even a fishing skiff. But hey, give it shot and see what happens.

You better hope the Japs aren't monitoring the subsim forums, or you'll find them waiting for you.

It's quite sad that, in this respect, the "Dynamic Campaign" is anything but dynamic. I've sunk so many Destroyers that even if the IJN Shipyards were at their fullest output the IJN Commanders would be worried about how few are still at sea.

And taking back your port just doesn't work at all. Although I guess a lack of ships in the harbour doesn't mean that there aren't Japs in the mess tent. Still...

Watch out for mines. Found that out the hard way.

I slipped into Manila and found three frieghters, one destroyer, and a gun boat. Sank a large frieghter and the destroyer on the way out.
