Bombur´s quest for revenge
Moderators: wdolson, Don Bowen, mogami
RE: Allied strategy
Soerabaja is now under attack. Enemy Betties and Nells attacked the Harbour with devastating attacks and few losses. Naval losses now achieved 155 ships (against 27 Japanese). Mersing fell, opening the way to Singapore. Naga is recovering from my failed attack (made by mistake). Balikpapan will fall soon. KB returned to Wake.....

RE: Allied strategy
-This thread will soon be changed to "Bombur quest for another defeat" as the Japanese seem unstoppable. Balikpapan fell almost withouth a fight and Naga will follow soon. Singkep is also being invaded. The spped of his advance has prevented me from moving my troops. The only advantage is that he is starting to spread his air forces and this could allow me some strategic attacks against his newly capture bases. My obsolete fighters are also achieving a surprinsingly 1:3 kill rate against his Zeroes over DEI, but the lack of flak units in Soerabaja is allowing him to attack the port with minimal losses. In Singapore and Phillipines, however, the things are harder for his AF. Spruance lost a few Army bombers to AA fire in the last days. Overall air losses close to 350 vs 430.

RE: Allied strategy
-A bad day for the allies. We made some damage to Balikpapan oilfields, but no other strategic bombing missions were executed. The JNAF visited Soerabaja, and decimated the fighters defending the city. Enemy troops reached Juala Lumpur and Clark field. Air losses were about equal for both sides. Wake Island is being leveled by KB Kates.

RE: Allied strategy
-Japan is flying enemy fighters from Balikpapan. We lost 4 B-17´s today and did only minimal damage to oilfields. Our fighters, on the other hand, are absolutely useless to defend Soerabaja´s harbour, althought flak is causing some damage. Other planes were also lost in an attack against Tavoy resources (again, some damage was done). Johore Baru is about to fall.

RE: Allied strategy
A desperate attempt to attack the new enemy base at Balikpapan resulted in 8 level bombers lost, and almost no damage to enemy instalations. The enemy is still attacking Soerabaja with relative impunity, but we expect to fix this trouble soon. Spruance seems to be hesitating on a final assault on Kuala Lumpur. Will he expect the fall of Singapore???

RE: Allied strategy
-Another attack on Balikpapan result in 10 planes lost and almost no damage to the enemy. A raid on Tavoy did only marginally better. Despite this, enemy losses were even higher. Japanese ships ans aircraft are sinking anything they see in the sea. Naval losses reach, now, 200 ships. Japanese losses are 33 ships.
-Alied land forces achieved their first significant victory, as an attept to take Kuala Lumpur was defeated with heavy losses to Japan. Even better, fortifications weren´t damaged. We calculate that this victory will win us about two weeks.
-First AA units are arriving Soerabaja. Hopefully, it will hurt enemy torpedo bombers attempting to attack our harbor at low levels.

RE: Allied strategy
-Banjarmasin falls. The arrival of AA guns in Soerabaja had a very healthy effect on our defenses, as the enemy lost no less than 11 G3M´s in only one day (7 to AA and 4 to op losses). Coupled with heavy losses inflicted to dive bombers in Kuala Lumpur, it resulted in significant losses for the Imperial air forces (a grand total of 30 planes in one day). Our submarines were ordered to retreat and regroup in friendly ports, given the increased effectiveness of enemy ASW.

RE: Allied strategy
-The enemy seems unstoppable. Only thing we can do is shot down enemy bombers with AA and bomb his newly acquired resources. Pearl Harbour is already recovered and reinforcements are arriving, but the route to South Pacific is closed....Some modern fighters are going to arrive in Aden and our P-26´s are being upgraded to P-39. We hope these planes will do better in this scenario. Palembang is defenseless but we are amassing a significant force to defend Soerabaja. On the other hand, it seems the prospects for Kuala Lumpur are not very good, as the enemy is sending reinforcements. In a few days, we will have level 4 forts in Kuala Lumpur, but it won´r help too much if the enemy attacks before....

RE: Allied strategy
-The fall of Clark Field has essentially ended the Phillipne campaign. Now the Allied troops in Manila are surrounded before they could build their forts. In Kuala Lumpur, more Japanese Forces arrived and an assault will happen soon. The flak in Kualam Lumpur is working well. The enemy lost about 20 bombers to both flak and op losses.
Japanese and Allied losses are almost even (about 500 to 550). Rabaul also fell to enemy troops.
