JAN1642 - Burma.png x Burma 16JAN42 At Pegu I have 3 Thai Divisions and an Arty Bn. Attacking the enemy LCU IO ran out of Moulmein. In Rangoon Michael has two LCU defending. Air support is also in play, with bombers from Chiang Mai assigned to work over the enemy LCU. From Bangkok I have another gr...

So I see the rail line - should be good...

Does anyone see a reason why I can't strat-move a division from Suchow to Shanghai?

18DEC Reports

I'm keeping the scare on the allied troops in China and Malaya with ground attacks. Plot skills are going up but my operations losses are bumming me out. Pilot killed in landing accident of A6M2 Zero from Chitose Ku S-1 A5M4 Claude from Sapporo Ku S-2 is damaged on landing A6M2 Zero from Yamada Det ...

At Hong Kong I'm removing the mine fields. Damn but there are a lot of mines! At Manado I dropped part of my para division on Sidate, the dot-hex next to Manado. That prevents his troops from escaping as my ground forces at Manado do a deliberate attack; both allied units at Manado are destroyed. 16...

Reports for 16DEC41.

Some more nice ships sunk! Remember, the Kates carry two bombs each and can sink the Allied ships in the Philippines with no problems so you might as well use up your sorties on your carriers unless (wink) you are going to fly the torpedo aircraft to a land base while your carriers go to restock so...

Well done and bagging CLV Charlotte. I need a bit of luck with getting a flattop. Did you sink her by SS? The Americans have four of this class. Each can be converted into a CVL mid-way through 1942. I softened her up in the morn and finished her off in the afternoon. Combat Report - 7DEC41 -------...

Well the run of merchies heading from the PI/Mindanao area has pretty much cleared up. At Cotabato a fast transport TF arrives with 3k of supplies. I'm loading the remainder of the para unit @ Peleliu and transporting it to Cotabato by ship. Also en route to Cotabato is the 90th Infantry Rgt.; I'm o...

Reports for 9DEC41 A very nice list of ships sunk! But too bad that a sub missed with 6 torpedoes on a CVL. One time against the computer, the mini-sub taxis were returning to Kwaj when the USS Enterprise ran over one of them near Johnston Island. Two torpedoes hit with one fuel explosion and one a...

10DEC41 SCTF228 runs out of ammo and torpedoes after continuous engagements with fleeing merchant shipping. They will make way to Babeldaob for beans, bullets, and fish. Three more SCTF are on the east side of the Celebes Sea and driving west in an attempt to catch the last of the fleeing merchies r...

So the big show this turn was the culling of the herd; merchies fleeing from the combat zones and Japan seeking to eliminate as many pieces from the board as possible during the early phases of the war. Truthfully, the more merchies of all types helps, but I've been seeing a lot of xAP, Tankers, and...

Reports for 9DEC41

During the early turns there's a whole lot of clicking going on for both sides. <wry grin> So we capture a few more bases this turn. Amphibious TFs are headed to the PI, Borneo, and Mindanao while others are loading for regions around the Celebes Seas. Oil! Oil! Oil! is the mantra for Japan. Product...

Attached are the reports for 8DEC41.

Sign me on as a reader. Any house rules? Hi Bigred, Welcome - I hope Michael and I put on a good show. :lol: Michael and I have played a time or two; we have what Michael likes to call a "Gentleman's Game." In essence - don't use the game mechanics - just use your pieces, play the board, ...

I'll slap a few snapshots of the map on a regular basis to help give us a good reference for discussions.

I don't know if the RA mod has made any changes, but the Allies get a serious buff in Malaya in form of additional engineer vehicles. It is enough just to save some BFs and allow replacements in them, and you have a potent eng force which can i.e. fortify Singapore faster. https://www.matrixgames.c...
