I was playing as the Americans and caught all of the Japanese transports in a supply mission with a carrier strike force and sank them all, what happens to the Japanese if you do destroy all of their transports is the game over or what. Yes was a pure luck strike, to find and kill all of the transports. But what happens next if you do get all of the transports. Would it be better to run them off the board if caught by carrier planes, or at least try to run them off the board and retreat.Thanks Andrew

My reading of the rules is that you go on as the Japanese player can still run supply missions with the DD's Tho at a redused attack capacity, see engagment F( which brings another question...).

The Japanese player can use DD's as transports.

what happens if you are the Americas and loose all of your transports, is the game over or what, or just use destroyers?

for the Allies only. Give them three more transports, as there was no shortage.

in reading the books on Guadalcanal, it seems that there was a general shortage of _everything_ in the theater, including ships of all types. The USN certainly acted as though the transports would not be easily replaced.

Perhaps it might be more "fair" to say that the USN player can replace three reinforcing DDs with transports?
