Lull in the battle
Russia is going from bad to worse. 250 VP worth of cut off Russia troops were wiped out.
Planning a big raid against Rangoon next turn. Losses will be heavy on both side but I am hoping to get the best of it.
If all goes as planned there should be a landing at Lae too.

RE: Lull in the battle
Lae landing did not go as expected. There were a lot more mines and troops than I had planned for. Hopefully it will not require a follow up landing.
Rangoon raid was costly but I destroyed 2x as many as I lost (200 to 100)
Keopang is taking way too long to expand the AF. I am starting to get inpatient.

RE: Lull in the battle
Lae landing was a disaster. Not only did the close air support fail to fly, a suicidal CL captain decided to sweep the minefield using his ship as a plow[:@]
I have now lost more VPs in the landing than the base is worth to me.

RE: Lull in the battle
Minesweepers cleared out the last of the mines at Lae. I guess they felt pressured to do it fast sinvce one of them hit a mine[:D]
Emiru Isalnd is now a Beaufighter base and can cover the approaches to Truk. This will have to do until the base can handle Level Bombers.
Follow up landing have been ordered for Lae and other are planned elsewhere.
Since it was the 1st of the month about 1/2 of my fleet upgraded. The other 1/2 will rotate into port in about a month.

Emiru Isalnd is now a Beaufighter base and can cover the approaches to Truk. This will have to do until the base can handle Level Bombers.
Follow up landing have been ordered for Lae and other are planned elsewhere.
Since it was the 1st of the month about 1/2 of my fleet upgraded. The other 1/2 will rotate into port in about a month.

RE: Death of the Red Airforce part 2
My sub pickets near Truk were sighted multiple times by Vals and Kates. Since none are at Truk I have a feeling the KB is moving south towards the Emerau Island beach head. I don't know if this is to cover an evacuation from Truk or if it will be a strike against my outlying bases. All non-essentail ships have been withdrawn to within the CAP perimiter and extra fighters and bombers have been moved into position to strike if the KB gets too close.

Battle of the Bismarck Sea
KB is 1 hex NW of Truk with a lot of other ships. I have a feeling Emerua Island will be bombarded. I have move PT boats into the area and pulled out all empyty ships. Those unloading will stay and take treir cances.
First A2A combat by the Beaufighters and Corsairs went well. The Beaufighter had exp in the 90s so that with their high gun value racked up 1/2 of today's A2A kills. Had it not been for a suicidail Beaufighter strike against the KB the A2A would have been totally one sided

RE: Battle of the Bismarck Sea
Gordon lost his nerve and didn't make a run at Emerau Island. Nice to know I am not the only one to change my mind mid stream. I had planned on a landing in Java but after weighing the risks I have gone for the safe back up plan and will be landing at Maccasar tomorrow. They were supposed to land today.
Lae fell so I can get back to advancing in PNG.

RE: Battle of the Bismarck Sea
Maccasar landing did not go as smooth as expected. I had a MSW recon the base and it did not spot mines. The landing force ran into one however and it may cost me some ships. Berrtys from Tarakan plastered one of my ships at one of the secondary landings.
It looks like the KB has left the Truk area. The first massed P-38 sweep followed by a B-24 raid is set for next turn to close Truk back down.
Admiralty Island finally fell.

P-39 sweep at Truk is pathetic. They out number the defenders 4:1 but take 2:1 losses. At least the B-24s did their job.

Battle of the DEI
Took out over 140 Jap ac at the loss of only 40 of my own. All of the lvl 4 AFs in the DEI are damaged but Gordon has moved a large amout of AC to Seorobaja. The morale of my bombers is low or I would level the base.
Maccasar fell. Now I need to see if I can hold onto it.
Mine indicator is gone at Kwaj. Invasion will take place soon.

RE: Battle of the DEI
I knew it had to happen but it still hurt. The Red Air Force was beaten up pretty bad today. Most of the fighetrs are gone and the last 250 bomber now have no CAP for their base. Fortunetly I was able to take out some AC in the DEI to mitigate the day's losses. Total losses were 350 for me and 150 for Gordon.
Landing at Kwaj went well. It should fall next turn.
