...and this is the first assult on defending positions around Brisbane. Enemy is well entrenched and holds all the key positions around Brisbane. will have to play patiently here but that was my game throughout the war. Luckily, I got months on my hands to deal with Brisbane and I indend to make use of them. Losses aren't as dissapointing as the fact that forts didn't go down. No worry though, reinforcements including extra combat engineers are days away:

I'm starting to implenet a new aproach to Brisbane air raids. I'm initating a phase in which the emphasis will be on ships in port. There's still 40 of them there and attacks by 3 Helen daitais haven been very fruitful. I'e decided to put Sallys on port attack t deal with those wrecks in Brisbane once and for all so I can divert army bombers to ground attacks.
Today's attack hasn't offered much hope to a hasty resolution in my favour but given time, the ships shoul start to sink:

And there was much action to make matters worse...

AUSTRALIA:
No more ships in Brisbane. All sunk!

CHINA:
Standard strategic bombing and possibly a deliberate attack on one of the chinese enclaves.

CENTRAL PACIFIK:
Paras ht Wake! Fisrt wave of some 2000 paratroopers land on Wake. Defenders outnumber them by more then 2:1 but it's a base force with mosty non-combatants. Although my paras enjoy an edge in quality, the defenders are more numerous and behing fort 9. The first assult enden with high japanese casulties but forts went down by 1. So there is hope.

Hero Honda has been making some determined attacks against Brisbane.  It seems that he is in a hurry with two Deliberate attacks with a week.  In both cases he sustained a large number of losses totalling over 23,000. My losses were only 2000. [:D]
 
Things are afoot, my spider senses are tingling and I just KNOW that Hero Honda is up to something.

You can safely ignore Raver and have no fear of recieving any useful information from him.

Paratroopers that took Wake are up for some medals. In fact, the commanding officers will be awarded their medals by Kurt Studnet himself who personaly insisted on flying to Japan for the occasion. His jouney is by no means a simple feat, but British defeats in India have weakened their position in the Middle East. As a result Fw Condors are now flying from Nicosia to Delhi with no interference!

Hero Honda is at it again..........lies lies and more lies !   Point of fact.....my brave defenders of Brisbane are inflicting huge losses on the japs.  each time the attack the loss ratio is 10-1 in my favour.  10 more attacks like that and Honda will wipe himself out ! [:D]

The sneaky bugger is planning to Hit either Attu or Kiska ! Look at what he is massing on para Jima.


Well this is where the line gets drawn ! There will be blood on the water and it is NOT going to be mine !

(The best thing about this part of the map is that I don't need carriers to help with the defense.....Honda does ! )
