Air Raid Pearl Harbor (Adm Halsey Allies vs stateless Japan)

[ADM Halsey]

Status map of PI.

[ADM Halsey]

Status of Burma operational area.

[ADM Halsey]

PI: The air units have been evacuated and will rejoin the fight soon. Some ground units have also made it out but paid I high price in doing so. I am not sure how long the remaining units will hold but will try to delay as long as possible.

Central and South Pacific: With the lose of the Lexington and Enterprise it will be more difficult to check Japanese advances in these areas. During the battle for Christmas and Palmyra I was not expecting to run into 2 carriers. Behind Halsey was the 2 invasion forces. One was already on its way from the west coast and one from Pearl Harbor. The one from the west coast was almost found by the carriers to the northeast of Pearl. The Saratoga came down to support the flank 2 days behind the other carriers. The islands have been retaken and now the transports that brought them in are being chased by the other carriers of the IJN.

Build up and movement of units will continue.

More to follow.

Sorry for the long delay in posting anything. Sometimes I forget to get screen pic.

Intel Report

[ADM Halsey]

It looks like this game is going no further. I have made several attempts to contact stateless over the past few weeks. In the game he is doing really well. I hope there is nothing wrong and hope all is well with Tom.

The game is at 01/26/1942.

[ADM Halsey]

I found out real life hit stateless pretty hard with a lot going on. The war is back on now and I will post an update after I get home from work. [:D]

[ADM Halsey]

Here is the overall conquest area of Japan to date. It appears that the Japanese advance has slowed at this time. I am not sure if it is due to the air power the DEI or if he is gathering forces to invade Java.

I enjoy the game. I have been a gamer ever since I was about 13 years old. My first game was by Avalon Hill called Midway. I have several monster games by SPI that I enjoy but have not had to many chances to play them.

Since my post about how many games I have going I have lost 2 games with one of my apponents. It is a shame since he will not contact me to let me know what is going on. I hope nothing has happend to him.
