Airstrikes destoyed as many as they lost. At least the are reinforcing the belief that Malaya is the next target.
A 60+ P-38 fighter sweep has been ordered for Bailiakpapan followed by a 100+ B-24 strike. Hopefully it will work.
PM attack succeeded on day 1 but just missed on day 2. It may take a while but I should be able to take the base without a second landing

RE: Bloody day
CV air groups redeemed themsleves at PM and slaughtered an air strike at PM. B-24s from the newly expanded Gili Gili are going to follow up with a strike against Wewak where they came from.
The same can't be said for the P-38s at Ambonia as they let too many Bettys slip through and ravage the transports.
The invasion of Russia starts next turn. I don't think Gordon knows what he is in for since I haven't spotted too many AC in the area. It could be a boodly day in the sky. It looks like he is going to drive mostly from the north with a second push against Vladivostok. I have pulled back mainly to Iman and consetrated my air force at Iman and another base in the north. I don't expect Russia to last more than 6 months but I am hoping to inflict heavy losses and keep units tied up on the mainland instead of where I will be attacking in the DEI and PI.

The invasion of Russia starts next turn. I don't think Gordon knows what he is in for since I haven't spotted too many AC in the area. It could be a boodly day in the sky. It looks like he is going to drive mostly from the north with a second push against Vladivostok. I have pulled back mainly to Iman and consetrated my air force at Iman and another base in the north. I don't expect Russia to last more than 6 months but I am hoping to inflict heavy losses and keep units tied up on the mainland instead of where I will be attacking in the DEI and PI.

Russia Invaded!
Not as bad as I had expected for Day 1. Gordon hit only empty air fields so there was no A2A in Russia. I have ordered counter strikes against some of his air bases for next turn. I have to get some use out of the 500 bombers I have before I lose them.
PM finally fell after a shock attack. Now I just have to mop up and get the base repaired.

RE: Russia Invaded!
Airstrikes by the Russian air force had mixed reslts. In A2A they traded even but this was with 2:1 odds. I made up for this with ground kills. Hopefully they will defend better.
Land war in Russia is not going well. I am inflicting massive casualties but the chances of holding off the LCU steam roller in the north is slim. One localized counter attack roughed up a lone unit though.
I lost a CA at Thursday Island due to not shutting down Wewak until Day 2. Look like I will have to use my CV units to escort ships through the slot to Darwin.

Land war in Russia is not going well. I am inflicting massive casualties but the chances of holding off the LCU steam roller in the north is slim. One localized counter attack roughed up a lone unit though.
I lost a CA at Thursday Island due to not shutting down Wewak until Day 2. Look like I will have to use my CV units to escort ships through the slot to Darwin.

RE: Russia Invaded!
Russia is a mess. The units pushed out of Blagoveshchensk retreated towards the north rather than for a last stand at Iman. Russia could collapse within a month. Worst of all since Gordon has not deployed any Bettys/Nells to the Russia operation, the seas are still dangerous for me. This is curtailing my advances.

RE: Russia Invaded!
Russia continues to be a mess. I will be atking desperate action next trun to try to inflict some losses.
Thursday Island fell and Truk got leveled. The strikes had failed to fly for the last 2 turns but took out 150 AC on the ground and shut the base down. Now I hope to be able to move on Kaiving and Rabaul. Landing at Green Island is set for next turn.
Kai Island is now a Lvl 5 AF and Ambonia should be lvl 5 soon. As soon as this happens I can go back on the offensive in the DEI.

RE: Russia Invaded!
Desperate action was a resounding success. A massed raid destroyed 350 Jap AC on the ground and another 50 or so in the air for a loss of 100 Russian Ac. This should hurt Gordon for a while.
I am now seeing that there is a major flaw in my Russia defense. I was trying to do what KDonovan did to me and go for Fortress Iman. The thing I failed to realize was that in our game it was late 44 and the US was rapidly closing in on Japan and would be able to relieve or at least resupply the cut off defenders. That will not be happening here. In retrospect I should have pulled everyone back to Irkutsk and dug in around the supply line. I am now trying to get units out of Borzya before they get cut off. It looks like I got the AC out just in time since the base got smacked today. I don't know if I will be able to get enough troops to Irkutsk to make a difference. The LCUs inside the Iman pocket are cut off and can't break out. I am going to try to get the AC out though.

Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32
The daily training raids from Kwiyang have not stopped despite the daily overflight of a F5A reon plane. I was afraid Gordon would move out or up his CAP but he seems to feel that the recon plane is harmless. This is exactly what I want him to believe. The CAP that comes up to meet the F5A each day is less than 30 planes. In about 10 days I get a new B-24 squadron in Karachi. Once this arrives Kwiayan will get a visit [;)]

It looks like I got the AC out just in time since the base got smacked today. I don't know if I will be able to get enough troops to Irkutsk to make a difference. The LCUs inside the Iman pocket are cut off and can't break out. I am going to try to get the AC out though.

Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32
The daily training raids from Kwiyang have not stopped despite the daily overflight of a F5A reon plane. I was afraid Gordon would move out or up his CAP but he seems to feel that the recon plane is harmless. This is exactly what I want him to believe. The CAP that comes up to meet the F5A each day is less than 30 planes. In about 10 days I get a new B-24 squadron in Karachi. Once this arrives Kwiayan will get a visit [;)]

A base too far and dumb luck
Got lucky at Rukhlovo this turn. I was transfering short legged Yaks out of the Iman pocket through here and fortunetly kept them on CAP. The broke up a raid and disrupted an air drop against the base. I have turned a mountain division back to attack the apras there. Hopefully I can hurt them bad before their relief arrives. I will take dumb luck over great strategy any day.
Ambonia is now a level 5 AF. After a recon of the big red x at Davoa bombings will begin.
Next turn should feature landing at Keopang. This is the next stepping stone to retaking the DEI.

RE: A base too far and dumb luck
Sansapoor was finally captured in the DEI. I also landed at Kopang
In Russia I avoided being encircled at Borzya. Now it will be a fighting retreat to Irkutsk to drag out the Russian camapaign.
It was a good thing that I didn't order a strike against Davao since over 200 zeros came up to meet the recon flight. [X(]
My DEI and offensive is on hold due to fuel and supply shortages

The death of the Red airforce
I lost over 150 Russian fighters this turn. Low exp pilots in obsolete planes are easy kills for the Jap pilots. Lucky for me due to Ops and flak losses Gordon lost about 1/2 as many planes as he killed. [:(]
Keopang was captured so Seorobaja will be in my sights soon.
Big raid planned against the training base at Kwieyang for next turn. Fingers are crossed.

Bloody skies-600 AC destroyed
Today was a slugfest between the airforces. I got slammed again at Rukolovo but my long planned raid against the training base at Kweiyang finally flew. In the end I lost 283 AC and Gordon lost 323 for the turn. Had I not ordered the strike against Rangoon it would have gone much better.
Koepang was cleared of enemy troops so the expansion of the AF can now begin.
In the Marshalls it looks like Kwaj may be down to less that 20 coastal guns. I have ordered more air attacks and have sent a few MSWs to investigate if they can clear the minefield without getting shot to pieces.

RE: Bloody skies-600 AC destroyed
PM was finally cleared out. Allied AC sunk 3 subs coming in and out of Rabaul so the loss of 2 MSWs at Kwaj was off set.
No coastal guns fired at the MSWs so it looks like Kwaj is now weak enough to be captured. After the minefield is cleared the bombardment will begin.
Air drop took Emerau Island north of Rabaul. After air transporting in some units it will become a forward air base.
