<t> China reflections :<br/>
<br/>
If wonder what the Japanese strategy for China is.<br/>
<br/>
To me it seems that quite a few Japanese assets are committed in the Yenan / Paotow area. This area holds little or no strategic value for either part, as it hold no industry and few resources.<br ...

<r> A full month+ into the war and things are looking good for you I think, well as good as they can look for the allied at this point of the war.<br/>
Anything that is not a full blown disaster is good when you are Churchill a la 1942.<br/>
<br/>
Your poking at the fringes of the Japanese ...

<r> Good luck Kurt,<br/>
<br/>
I will follow your journey faithfully and with great interest. <br/>
<br/>
I know you as a most steady and tenacious opponent; qualities only to be appreciated.<br/>
<br/>
May Fortuna throw you the occasional smile.<br/>

Doing my daily turn (s)

<t> I think Kurt is aiming for the Philippines. I expect him to soon go for Davao or Leyte. I can not contest the allied much on land in the southern Philippines, as there are simply too many islands and bases to cover.<br/>
Right now I am heavily reinforcing Luzon. I plan to fight hard for Manila ...

<t> In the homelands reinforcements are pouring in. Division after division are forming up. Enthusiastic units I am sure but with little experience. Their quality lies in their numbers only.<br/>
<br/>
Air unit Training groups are also pouring in.<br/>
I can see that training in these units is ...

<r> In Burma the allied has fallen back from the inland area. They are now concentrating on the Jungle hex next to Moulmein. This is probable a wise move. Supply can faster reach his forces here as they are now only 1 hex away from the road from Pegu.<br/>
The airfields in Burma are very close and ...

<t> The Japanese fleet has now gone back into the shadows. Here they have been joined by 4 carriers that were upgrading so I now field 26 assorted carriers that can take on everything but major US Fleet CV TF´s<br/>
<br/>
Where the allied put in massive Fleet CV TF´s I can do very little, they can ...

<r> Next she fights the 4 heavies and bounch of 40cm hits on deck and Tower armor.<br/>
<br/>
In the end the deluge of shells pulls her down. <br/>
<br/>
In the process her main guns danmaged 4 Japanese BB´s . including penetrating hits on Yamato that has send her to 97 days in the yards.<br ...

<r> Richelieu fight off the 4 Sisters - 36cm hit on her<br/>

<r> In the West the British took another island (Great Nicobar)in the Andaman's. To try put a break on allied seaborne threat from the Indian Ocean I sent the bulk of the Imperial navy to set a trap; 22 Carriers and 12 Battleships with accompanying cruisers were deployed.<br/>
<br/>
First I wanted ...

Update Start March 1945<br/>
<br/>
The lines are holding, but with an eerie creaking sound.<br/>
<br/>

In late January a mighty US armada was spotted moving NW from the Kavieng area. As it moved up NW the most likely target became Balbeldaob. In a hopeful attempt to make a CAP ...

I tend to agree, but game seems to consider this a bomb .. a guided bomb.<br/>

I never thought they were worth anything, which I believe is true if there is any CAP up, but with no CAP they ...

<r> ..and these allied ships had dodged lots of torpedoes from Frances and bombs from Peggy´s <br/>

Then along comes Cherry Blossom. <br/>

<r> Strange thing happened here. It is end january 1945 and Kamikaze has not been triggered.<br/>
<br/>
I guess it is one of these rare occasions that gives extra spice to the game.<br/>

I know that most of the people out there are not interested in small scenario

In my opinion the best of the small scenarios. I look forward to see how it goes.

Good luck

In the early part of the war my allied opponent chose to use his subs in a tactical way, i.e. on defensive patrols around contested areas. Due to the defective allied torpedoes in the early war, this I find to ...

So really I've already had my Midway moment..

The dream of allied players. Well done
