So what are the total losses so far?

Should you have followed news bits from South America you may remember this thread . The answer to your question, at least regarding Q1 and Q2, can be found there....

Oops

Never mind. We know it´s a lot to read - probably too much given the lack of response. Seems like news/stories from South America are too much to really read them...... ?!

Some maps would be nice but I somehow missed the loss report despite having read it

There also have been some map, June report IIRC, but they weren´t too accurate and need to be revised....

I havent commented to avoid having to many breaks in the story, and a single thread would also have helped

I enjoy reading them when I have the time. Usually a map would help, as I get a bit lost when folks say "steaming to the west of Cape Bloopdeploop" or "fighter combat over the Blahblah River" and I don't know where those are...

But hey, that's what Wikipedia's for!

Me I just use an atlas to find Cape Boodledoddleboo, or the Blahblah River, but Im oldfashioned

Some of the pieces do tend to be a bit long and unbroken which makes them difficult to read. Usually I'll comment just to show I've read it and give you guys some support as the content is great.

I haven't responded because it ain't over yet.....
...it would be like giving up on a book half way through!!

I always read them. I always enjoy them.
If I need to scroll down a fair bit to see the entire post- usually do not read them immediately after they are posted, this is typical for such posts. I will generally read them on Thursday night or the following weekend when I have more slack time- provided it's not a weekend I'm out of town or have guests. The most recent posts will get read Sunday night.

It's a bit like saving the good stuff for when I can appreciate it. I do not comment overly much due to the nature of the stories "this happened" and the need to wait to the end to not be overly disruptive and hijack it.
I've also simply sent you behind the scenes PMs so I could convey a Dutch reaction, without intruding on the post.

I am appreciative of the effort being put in, I've tried to help in little ways, and enjoy the results shared with the rest of us.

I agree with KK, I tend to save reading them until I have a few quiet minutes at home.

And not meaning to blow my own (or Rocky's) trumpet here, but I prefer the idea of a seperate discussion thread about the story instead of interupting the flow of the story....remember "The Andaman Sea Crisis" of a few years ago, when we ran 2 seperate threads?

....and now that I've read it all.......

Excellent work, well done to all involved!!!!!

...And nice to see the RSAN get a little pay-back!!!!!

Indeed. Revenge for the Hammer!

I guess Desertfox won't be cheering now.

A glorious end to the Pampas, though an unfortunate blow to the Argentine navy.

Well, the Pampas were build just for such a scenario, I think. Hit and run. Make your point against a weaker foe and escape destruction. They nearly succeeded and just suffered some bad luck....

I think the sheer number of RSAN ships in the region helped out quite a lot, though with considerable luck given the weather conditions.

What Im seeing is that despite the successful SAE raid on the Brazilian Fleet, the majority of actions have been surface combat. If anything this war should reverse the trend for Carrier Aviation.

Only because the SAE sees their carriers primarily as scouts. There has been one "South American Taranto" though.
