Here's the first monthly report.
The naval casualties
Type USN RN IJN
CV 0 0 0
CVL 0 0 0
BB/BC 0 0 0
CA 1 1 0
CL 1 0 0
CLAA 0 1 0
DD 9 0 1


Type Allies IJN
SS 25 2
TK 4 0
AO 2 0
AP/AK/AUX 82 1

Note : USN naval power include Dutch and Australian unit

The SS have really suffered from the first month. Most of destruction is result of Manilla attack. Very little damage to non merchant navy. My opponent protect too well his invasion, I have no possibility to attack.

The top 5 pilots are
Name Kill Unit Nat
Greer L. 5 AVG US Army
Wirth U. 3 AVG US Army
Harper E. 3 AVG US Army
Mathony,GM. 3 24th FG US Army
Harper J. 2 AVG US Army

Only one ace but we see that the AVG will be a real threat for Japanese

Tarakan and Balikpapan have felt to Japanese. An imminent attack to Ambonia is suspected.

Southeast Asia :
The escape from Malaya is a great success. The chandpur, Dacca airfields are now able to be very helpful airfields.
The Malaya will probably fall quickly now. Only Khota Baru, Singapore and two small cities are not japanese. The Indian have been defeated many times and are isolated from Singapore.
Rangoon is now a difficult target for Japanese due to river rule and high fort level. Mandalay with AVG ruling the sky make a perfect airfield for ground attack. Even Hanoi can be reached from here.

China :
In south china, Pakhoi and Nanning felt easily to chinese. Hanoi is now at stake since chinese have successfully crossed the river.
To north, Kaifeng and Hsinyang felt to chinese. The japanese have been surprised but taking more cities will be difficult now.

Far east Command :
Nothing will happen here before 1/1/1944
