Allies

Sunk
1 x BB (New Mexico)
3 x CA (Louisville/ Salt Lake City/ Dorsetshire)
3 x DD

Crippled and at risk
1 x BB (Mississippi)
1 x CLAA (Colombo)
7 x DD

Crippled, Heavy or Moderate Damage these should make it subject to subs and enemy action
3 x BB (Revenge, SODAK, Pennsylvania)
1 x BC (Repulse)
2 x CA (Minneapolis/Astoria)
1 x CVL (Independence)
1 x CVE (Copahee)
6 x DD

Japanese

Sunk
2 x CA (Atago/ Aoba)
1 x CL (Sendai)
4 x DD

Damaged in action extent unknown so I have estimated

Crippled and at risk
1 x CA (Kako)
1 x CL (Natori)
2 x DD

Other Damage

3 x DD

The tonnage favours the Japanese but if all my cripples make it safely to port I will call the losses in my favour I doubt that Kako will make it and I think Mississippi will.

I have 5 fresh BB's (2 with 16") at Pearl just finishing off refits so I can pretty much replace all my losses very quickly.

And that makes 24 sunk Jap DD's how many more can they afford to lose before they struggle for screening units.

In the next 30 days I get 1 BB, 2 Cruisers 2 Light Carriers 15 DD's and 2 CVE's so my losses are made good almost immediately

OK looks like all my BB's got home in one piece.
 
I will have to wait for float damage to dissapear before starting the long trek to West Coast Yards.
 
My carriers have re armed and are ready for action
 
Gili Gili is going to be tougher than I thought but I have additional forces available to send in once I have reorganised my TF's
 
Pauk is a miner so I will need to take care and bring losts of MSW's.
 
Allied troops are almost at Buna after crossing the mountains so I hope to take that town soon.
 
With Buna in my control Dobodura will follow quicky isolating Gili Gili.
 
Mandalay is not going to work now Pauk has reinforced to quickly....
 
However that is not neccesarily a bad thing... Old plans are being dusted off a long range plan to consider.
 
Pauk has lots of Ground forces in Australia
Pauk now has a large army at Mandalay
 
Pauk therefore cannot have massive reserves
 
I have 1 full Corps in India still (3rd Div/44th Div/26th Div and armour)  and 1 spare Corps in Australia.
Allies get Hellcats and Corsair IV soon.
 
If Pauk has stripped all of lower Burma/Malaya to defend Rangoon I may have opportunities

I like a prolonged combat at Mandalay, at times, to build up the experience level of your Indian/CW/British troops.
The bad thing for the Japanese is the don't get any additional CA's or BB's (after Yamato and Co.). [:D]

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 2:31 pm

Aye but I doubt I will break through now but thats ok !!!
 
A little Corsair/Hellcat supported landing at Moulmien with 3 - 6 Divs into his rear could cause lots of problems

Not much happening my raid on Taung Gi was defeated.
 
Apart from that and more raids on Gili Gili all is quiet

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 10:53 am

OK following my 4 day break there have been developments
 
40th US Inf Div has landed under the guns of 2 US BB's supported by my Carriers
 
Pauk seems to be having problems getrting into position to fight with his carriers reacting each and every turn .
 
Mine have not reacted although I had co ordination issues that lost me some Seafires. Its now the end of May and the first of my war winning carrier aircraft arrive in June RN Corsairs !!!
 
After one more day of landings to secure Gili Gili I will withdraw the fleet towards PM where it will pick up 3 Divs for transport back to Oz and a rest.
 
These 2 operations have pretty much exhausted SWPAC's available Assault assets and the need 30 - 60 days rest and re prep.
 
But it has been worth it PM/ Gili Gili/ Buna and soon Dobedura captured these are top prizes for the allies when added to the alreafy held Gilberts

OK I have been manic at work but its calming down now.
 
I landed 40th Div but unfortuantely Arizona got caught by a heavy Betty raid and will probably sink.
 
I expect Gili Gili to fall ASAP - I will try a shock attaqck tomorrow
 
I have finished off the remaining damaged A/C at Kunming.
 
My carriers are moving towards PM to replenish at which point I will need to withdraw some ground units to rebuild.
 
Overall I am pleased with progress so far.
 
Next time my fleet sorties I will have Corsair IV's on board my RN Carriers.

OK time to reveal the grand strategy....

Pauk has to be hurting for ground forces. China is conquered but those units are tied there.

Burma he knows I have a major offensive under way which has just knocked down the forts of Mandalay again he HAS to reinforce !!!

What he doesnt realise is that I am secretly flying out exhausted Bdes to Calcutta

At present I have 3 Fresh Divs in India and a 4th made of Bdes refitting

He has to be watching Rangoon and Moulmien very carefully and has just committed his para reserves at Akyab.

He still holds Northern Aus that is just a giant POW Camp.

And to top it all off he knows my SWPAC offensive has kicked off leaving NG vulnerable and he has to be watching CENTPAC carefully.

To top it all I just raided Java.....he has to know I am coming for him and that means he has to be sucking reserves in from everywhere......

Now Pauk has proven to me that he WILL not exploit strategic over commitments I can strip India a little barer than I normally would at any stage because he is sitting back so much a littel strategic push in late 42 would have taken me out of my comfort zone on this one !!!!

OK SWPAC will continue to push on aggressively and I will open up a limitede CENTPAC and SOPAC offensive to keep up the pressure on Pauk.

The battle of Mandalay will also continue as planned......

This should keep Pauk occupied while I get the REAL offensive underway......

Phase 1 Indian 33rd Corps (4 Divs) land at TAVOY and VICTORIA POINT and SABANG spearheaded by 50th Indian Para Bde once those bases are secured and aircover is in place Phase 2 Aus 1st Army - 2 Corps (8 Divisons) land at Georgetown and Taiping

The timing will be crucial enough time to secure and open AF's but not enough to allow Pauk to redeploy.....

Lets see how the Croat likes that little lot....

It will take a lot of time and preparation but late 43 is going to be VERY interesting !!!!

OK I have made a mistake....
 
Victorious TF is out of Gas !!!! I didnt check it and my tankers are about 4 days away I have sent out some other carriers to rendevous but I need to be carefull and not let Pauk know they are sitting ducks !!!

If I didn't know better, I would say from this and your other AAR, that you like Malaya. [:D][:D]
Is it something personal about that piece of real estate??

What naval assets will you be assigning to cover your new adventure??
CV's??
BB's??

Do you Andaman Island??
