Winter 1942:
Japan:
Seems Germany is bogged down in Scotland. Terrific defense. From my Ally I gather than a full frontal attack had 20% chance on clearing the place so he decided to follow my ill advice to do waves attack. Always dangerous to give advice when you don't see first hand the situation.
Yamamoto decides to seize the day and give Hell to the Allies. The completion of new US carriers pushes us to make a decision and we launched our Plan Gold. We had to cancel Plan Silver to attack in Fall 1941 but as we had no plan ready for Spring 1942 we had no choice.
Singapore is first liberated by Veteran troops to gain the bonus for first attack on Frozen region. After that we are clear to lift the FOW around and strike at our targets. Burma and Sarawak are liberated as well, we close to the Indian frontier and our HVY Elite Bombers knocked out the 2 Indian factories. India is lightly defended and our West Army Group seems confident that India will fall in the Empire soon. This action reveals some Transport Line between India and... Australia. Quite surely to move troops for India's defense and avoiding the Italian Navy based in Ethiopia. We have a nice day sinking all those.
Manila is invaded by Veteran INF and the Light Fleet is sunk by our HVY Fleets. Celebes is liberated as well as Sumatra. Java is still holding but that Light Fleet won't go anywhere. Northern Australia is occupied and our action on Australia East Coast reveals only 2 INF for defense and 1 Fighter. Our Australia Army Group is as confident that all will be resolved very fast.
The Imperial Navy takes cares of all ships activity from Australia to the US West Coast. It will take times to reactivate any transports link in between those.
Well and Pearl Harbor you would ask??? our plan was all along to strike at Transports first and rebase in defense along Pearl and wait to see if those 2 Carriers on the West Coast would dare challenge us. To our dismay the 2 new US Carriers were build on the West Coast. 1 in the Southern Part with 4 CAGS and 2 Fighters in support. This is a bit too much even for Elite Japanese CAGS but then Santa Claus gives us one lonely Carrier totally undefended in the Northern part. We do send 2 Elites CAGS to take it down with 100% certainty. Now it's 7 Carriers against 5. The bad part is that the Allies now had 3 Carriers ready on the West Coast. What will he do?
At last we send some Subs to clear the path to Panama.
Not bad an harvest as you'll see below. No other screenshot to avoid giving our positions. Next turn will be critical.
I wonder how will it end...[:)]
