As my motherboard gave out last night, I am now rebuilding a few items is anyone else having an issue with this link?

Taking a Step Back, the Thundering Herd from the Philipines

When playing this mod, there are a number of things an Allied player must come to an understanding, that the Japanese player had a tremendous number of assets to bring to bear on day 1.

This "understanding" is both intellectual and ...

December 20th

I am now one turn behind the action, and it's not going how I would like it, but that is WITP:AE. :D

The second round at Wake goes my way, and Palembang falls.

Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Billiton at 52,92

December 20th

I am now three turns behind the action, and it's not going how I would like it, but that is WITP:AE. :D

Landings at Wake and the first Japanese assault on Palembang go my way.

Wake
The PT fights three rounds with the landing ships. :shock ...

December 19th

I am now four turns behind the action, and it's not going how I would like it, but that is WITP:AE. :D

The remainder of his CVLs, CSs, and CVEs shot past Java to hunt down shipping that continues to flee. I am now hitting the forces he has left behind.....

As he moved into ...

December 17th

I am still four turns behind the action currently, and it's not going the way I would like it, but that is WITP:AE. ;)

The Lexington sinks.......

The remainder of his CVLs, CSs, and CVEs shot past Java to hunt down shipping that continues to flee, I will let it pass and then ...

It's the end of the month at work, updates will lag behind the turns for a while. I also have a conference Monday - Wednesday of next week, so it will be a while until I catch up. I am four turns behind the action currently....

Midway falls.

In the DEI, it appears the remainder ...

The KB is about to crunch Midway, but I don't see any forces that are going to yet land on Wake. It ...

The average is running now in the very high 60s to the very low 70s....

December 14th

The KB moved off, presumably to support the attack on Midway. To be safe, all ships on the west coast will remain in port for a couple of days. It is unlikely but possible his goal would be to take or isolate Pearl Harbor.

John does not know I am a maniac vs his aggressive play ...

December 13th

The KB did more damage on Day 2, but I think it will bug out and then swing back to support a Midway landing. I have PTs boats supplies, and mines so at least we will put up a fight at Midway.

Mersing fell and Singapore is a mess, very nice plan John has here.

Operations ...

December 12th

So the KB that he split, he moved the half that ended up east of Pearl Harbor off of the West Coast and sunk some stuff. While annoying and a little painful, it will cost him a lot of fuel. I expect he will hang out for a day to two to hunt down some more items.

We have authorized ...

Once Correction, at some point, someone asked if there were more Allied land units. As I said, I had not seen any, but I would look around.

Outside of a number of Training Air Units for the USN, USA, USMC, and Brit. New units come in the scenario setting of no unit withdrawals with a number of Air ...

Noumea

As there is nothing here in this mod, I am sending some Kiwi's that can be bought out ASAP.....

Overall Comments

His strategy seems to drive for Oil/Fuel at full speed. Given this setup of the mod and the reduction of starting oil, fuel, and resources for Japan expected. Singapore, Borneo, Sumatra, and Java will be first, and then he will fall back to clean up the Philippines.

I suspect ...

Midway

There are a number of airfields that can be used to crush and isolate Midway should it be lost. With Air HQs we can bring in the Heavy Bombers from Johnson Island and French Frigate Shoal.

I intend to fight to hold, but if it falls, it looks like a nice point to fight a set-piece battle ...

December 11th

He landed at Mersing as expected but with less force than I expected on Day "1" but it looks like two divisions and one regiment will be coming ashore. Let's see what I can do about that.....

Midway with troops already in route, we will see how we can welcome him. With the CV ...

Yes, I am a little too late as he landed this turn, but never overlook Allied intel......

Singapore

He slipped by Force Z and landed her Malacca. He will get Singapore faster than any of my other PBEM opponents, which was expected as (1) He is a Better Player than my previous opponents (2) It is his Mod which he knows better than I ever will, (3) He starts with more toys, and (4) is ...
