-In another bloody turn, allied forces lost 51 planes against 29 Japanese. Most air action happened over Mandalay, where Japanese defenders were overhelmed by massive enemy raids. Despite outnumbered by escorts, the Oscars and Zeroes shot down 33 Hurricanes, 1 B-25 and 1 Blenheim. Three more bombers lost due to flak, op causes. Losses for Japan were 6 Oscars and 5 Zeroes in air combat and more 4 Zeroes and 9 Oscars in the ground. In the Chinese front, another raid from Canton resulted in 12 enemy planes destroyed withouth any losses for Japan. Significant enemy sub activity detected near Truk. One submarine hit by our ASW TF.

-IJNAF commanders received shocking news yesterday, as the Zuikaku air group was simply decimated by 43 of the new P-38´s. Fortunately, only one crew was lost. Survivors describe the plane as being too fast for the Zeroes and almost invulnerable to our 20mm guns. Siador was immediately evacuated, as these losses are considered unsustainable. It´s clear now that the empire is involved in a defensive war against an enemy whose power seem to grow each day, and which seem to have developed a perfect fighter.The IJNAF is putting all the hopes in the new J2M interceptor, who is scheduled to be combat ready by April. Again the Army was asked to send Tojos to defend Rabaul and the bases in New Guinea. It wasn´t a god day for the Empire, as raids on Mandalay destroyed more 7 fighters in the ground. Overall losses were 21 for Japan and 9 for the colonialists.

a good opening start for the new P-38. 9 Zeros confirmed destroyed in return for 1 P-38, badly shot up by a Zero during the sweep crashing just before reaching the Owen Stanley mountains. Regrettably the pilot did not survive.

Japanese fighters retreated from New Guinea until we learn more about the new enemy fighter. Intel estimates that the plane can fly at speeds above 630km/h, 90km/h faster than the A6M3. This info must be confirmed. Mandalay still being bombed back to stone age..

-An air attack on Wuchow resulted in a humuiliating defeat to Japan, as a few I-16 were able to shot down a Zero and a Tojo. One I-16 was shot down by the fighters and another two suffered crash landings. The heavy air enemy activity is costing them about 4-5 aircraft each day due to non combat losses, according to intel....

SouthWest Pacific Command today announced the capture of Buna in Northern New Guneau.

"Remenants of the South Seas Detachment, ragged and battered from a 2 month air bombardment capaign which included heavy bomber strikes, were easily ejected from their fortifications by troops of the U.S. 32nd Infantry division. Casaulties were extremely light and the surviving Japanese troops were driven back into the deep jungle." General Douglas MacArthur announced at the steps to his HQ back in Australia.

"I am pleased to announce that with the completion of Phase I , Phase II can now begin"

The only sour note in this otherwise rosy picture were some signs of discontent from Australian troops, whose role in the offensive was strictly defensive.

"Bloody Yanks..." commented one Corp commander on conditon of anonomity; "They want to hog all the glory while we're stuck garrisoning a bunch of aircrew tents and sitting our collective arses."

Rabaul continues to remain ominously quiet. The only air activity detected having been from a newly established airbase at Sadair, NG....which was promptly shut down by 5th Airforce bombers and fighters.

-A Japanese HQ press release informed that the temporary retreat from Burma took place in good order, with most Japanese troops being evacuated by sea, while a few men are retreating to Lae by land. Those troops are fully equpped to deal with the hardships of jungle and the superior spirit of Japanese warriors will allow them to reach their destination in safety. Meanwhile, Burma was hit by Japanese surface units with moderate casualties.

-Agressive decisions by both commanders at the same time resulted in the bloodiest air combats seen since the second battle of Coral Sea. Allied forces lost 73 planes in A2A combat against 44 Japanese. Overall losses were 85 for allies and 72 for Japan. In Mandalay, an attempt to defend Mandalay with 2 Sentais, including the feared 29th Sentai (Tojo veterans) and one Navy Datai (A6M3´s) ended in disaster, as the fighters claimed more than 60 aircraft shot down and had about the same number destroyed in the ground or shot down by enemy fighters. The ressurected 51st FG (P-40´s) had a very impressive performance bouncing the Japanese as they were dispatching the poor Hurricanes. This time crew losses were heavy, even for the 29th Sentai. Meanwhile the P-38´s suffered a serious setback against Rabaul CAP, as Japan used some Ki-45´s as baits for P-38´s, allowing the Zeroes to shot down 11 of these wonderful machines. However, the raid on Rabaul had a heavy cost for both sides, as Japan lost 5 Zeroes and 5-Ki-45 to the enemies, plus 7 G3M destroyed in the ground, while the enemy lost another 5 B-17. In the sea, an allied sub ambushed a Japanese ML entering Rangoon harbour. The ship sank in 15 minutes.

Goes to show what an experienced outfit with a powerfully armed fighter can do (The 51st was a veteran outfit). Makes me feel guilty for continually sending in those green Huri pilots against the veteran Japanese defenders. A costly but acceptible battle. Still......Mandalay is a bit of a sinkhole. I can keep Bombur from investing it but at the same time i can't shut it down completely.

If the emperor is censoring the combat reports, could things be going downhill?[:D]

Nikademus · Post by **Nikademus** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 1:42 pm

Well the land campaigns and land based air campaigns are going well or at least acceptibly well. (Burma airwar is a struggle) Naval is another story thx to a 4:1 exchange in CV's. Not as big a problem for me as maybe for some others though as i tend to play conservatively anyway. Advancing under land based aircover is the best, safeest course of action.
