=ACTION REPORT: "The Pocky War" Wargame=

On this date, last year, there had been an unprecedented incident that almost threatened the internal safety of this naval base and the overall integrity of the fleets I am in charge of.

''It was caused by something they called "Pocky Day". ... Whoever thought of that as a real thing and made it popular, '''please let me take your life. I will make it very quick... though messy with this Light Fifty of mine.'

''Even though I managed to handle it swiftly last year, with the rapid expansion and rise of many shipgirls making it past the Nineties, plus looking at the current list of Ninety-Niners... and Haruna as well, despite getting the ring, it didn't stop her from still wanting to join in the scuffle as well... all things combined, I am fearing for an even bigger scale of chaos compared to last year's.'''

"But Admiral, it could be a good opportunity for an exercise this year, don't you think so?"

''Or so what Ooyodo said... She has a point.''

''With Ooyodo and Kashima helping me formulate a game plan, I managed to get a hold of the current situation of the fleet that would lead to the 'war'. Thanks to the submarines doing their monitoring on the girls as well, I got sufficient intel on the sides planning to take part in the war(game).''

Factions
The Battleship Row - ''First and foremost, the one group who're the most idle in this naval base due to how I have been out due to other shore businesses and my preference to send cruisers and carriers as my heaviest task force for most everyday operations... and even then I ended up being even busier during my shore duty I only sortie once per week at average. Lately there have been some... curious individuals from the battleships, luckily for me a good half of them are in control I suppose.''


 * Haruna: "Haruna will not give it up this time as well!""
 * Mutsu: "Ufu♥ This Onee-san is not willing to give it up this year too~"
 * Kongou: "YES! That is the spirit, Haruna!"
 * Bismarck: "Admiral! You should feel thankful for it is I, Bismarck, who will instruct you from the basics! Starting from your rear. A man should not have a rear more shapely than a woman's!"
 * Iowa: "Admiral, you still owe me a one night stand from back then, you know."
 * Yamashiro: "Admiral, I assure you I and Onee-sama were here not because we wanted to. They roped us in... such misfortune."
 * Fusou: "Now, now... let's not be too down about it, Yamashiro. Let's do our best as well..."

The Carrier Fleet - ''Not willing to lose to the battleships were them, the fleet carriers were now reinforced with the full might of what would have been Nagumo's fighting force during Midway - and with equipment that will make even the V.Adm. Nagumo at that time be green with envy - granted, what we have here are mostly new aircraft that never made it to production in his time. With Akagi at the helm of their task force, everyone else going up against them is not going to have a good time. Kaga and Zuikaku are two shipgirls on my red alert list from them. Over at my side, I only have Taihou, Unryuu and Graf Zeppelin supporting me... for some reason Aquila thought it'd be fun to join Akagi's task force, does she not know why they're in this whole big furball of chaos to begin with?''

"Don't worry Admiral. I will teach her a lesson before she can even make her move. It still stands that only I am the carrier can strike in the middle of the night, she will not be able to react."

''Thanks Graf for your willingness to help... but seriously, I'd still prefer the submarines for a night time strike.''


 * Akagi: "With the full might of the Carriers, we will not let anyone stop us! Right, Kaga-san?"
 * Kaga: "Despite Haruna-san being the Admiral's choice for the Supreme Flagship... we will not hold back either. All for the Admiral's li-- I mean, a Pocky Game with him..."
 * Shoukaku: (Don't hold it against me, okay Admiral? I'm here to support everyone, especially Zuikaku. Fufu.)
 * Zuikaku: "He-hennn!!! Admiral! It's high time you started looking at me, all right!? I already know what you like!"
 * Souryuu: "This feels like it'd be fun~! ♪"
 * Hiryuu: "Somehow I feel like the Admiral's going to be really angry with this... but oh well! I really want to see that." (Fairy: Hiryuu-dono, you definitely did not see how he handled last year's Pocky madness. You definitely don't want to be in his reticles... ever.)
 * Aquila: "Pocky Game...? I get to show off to the Admiral what I can do? Nice, nice! I think I'll join up with Akagi and the rest~!"
