We will be doing a joint AAR on this so much of what will be seen from my side will be
afterthoughs on things gone right and things that got FUBAR'd[X(]. Once a week in game time I will try and post some update screens such as top pilots or ships sunk and so on. I like AARs with some screen shots and will try and add those when I can.

Well PH was a bust nothing sank,,,,, oh well...... we did catch the Repulse with torpedo planes and put a reported 5 torpedos into her........ otherwise all landings went well B-17s did score hits on 3 AKs off PI.

One of the first major surface contacts of the war ! Looks like the allies will use what they can to slow down the Japanese advance. I guess it looks as if my oponent did not expect an escort with these landings !

Slow day today landings continue captured key base in Malaysa. Hong Kong will be a tough nut to crack looks like. In PI progress is ahead of what i had imagined so far but time will tell. Lost 2 ML off Wake as Allies have SBDs there which was a suprise ,,,,,, now to find the CV they came from KB and baby KB have I think remained hidden.

12-15-41 well the allies have decided to go sub hunting off Hawaii 3 tf of 6 DD and/or DMS are after Japans subs a major shift may be in store as I dont get many subs which is really my only INTEL sys.

12-17-41

Another slow day in the air. Alo Star attack may have been rushed did reduce fort but lost many in deliberate attack may have to shock attack with heavy units when we can. Hong Kong is a touch nut to crack I am almost tempted to bombard from the sea but I know better I have to be careful unlike this guy.......................

12-20-41 last few days have been consolidation and build up in PI and Malaya.

PM operations ongoing hope to crack it on day one of assault.
