RE: Waiting game
Another good day in the air war. I took out an Emily Squadron on the ground with a para drop and swept the sky of fighters (Including the new Georges) over Batavia for minimal losses. The only thing that did not work as planned was a surface raid on PJ. The transports retreated before I could engage them.

RE: Waiting game
CV raid did not catch the BBs but sank a few PCs. Heavies and my BBs hit Petropavolsk hard.
Raids on Java shut down a few AFs.

Allies invade Java!
Invasion fleet landed at Kragen on the East coast but it is only a secondary landing. The main landing will be this turn at Tilijap. I managed to sneak 350 transports and over 100 combat ships all the way from Darwin undetected. There were another 200 transports that had to turn back because they left 4000 AV of the total dedicated AV at Darwin. This will slow the operation be a month or so. I am hoping to still have enough AV ashore to split the island and defeat the defnders one at a time. Most of the AFs have been shut down so I am not expecting much in the way of airstrikes. CVs ate covering the main landing at P-38Js on LRCAP are covering Kragen.

RE: Allies invade Java!
Once again my TFs take their sweet time getting to their destination. The main troop TFs did not land this turn.[:@]
The assault at Kragen was going well until reinforcements arrived. Hopeflly I can force an evacuation of the south without ever having to fire a shot. Hopefully the threat of being cut off will drive them out.
Air cover did a good job of shredding Jap bombers that attempted to hit my fleets. Over 50 were shot down for only 2 torp hits on transports.
Big para drop on Miri next turn

The assault at Kragen was going well until reinforcements arrived. Hopeflly I can force an evacuation of the south without ever having to fire a shot. Hopefully the threat of being cut off will drive them out.
Air cover did a good job of shredding Jap bombers that attempted to hit my fleets. Over 50 were shot down for only 2 torp hits on transports.
Big para drop on Miri next turn

RE: Allies invade Java!
Jap surface raid sank a CA, a CL, and 5 DDs at Kragan for the loss of a CL and 3 DDs. I guess I should be happy that they did their job and protected the transports. 36 bomb hits on the Kumano and not even heavy damage. 500 pounders just bounce off.
Landing at Tjilitjap continues to be peicemal. Hopefully I can establish a bridgehead with an attack next turn.
Miri was captured by paratroopers. Once they are supplied I plan on flying in a RCT and taaking Brunei with an overland march. Jesselton will them be starved out and taken by sea later

Defenses at Tjilitjap are slowly falling. I have ordered a naval bombardment and a shock attack for next turn. I need to take the base so I can move in land based fighters and free up the carriers.

RE: Allies invade Java!
Tjilitjap was captured but most of the defenders had bugged out. I don't know if they went north or south. I plan on taking Batavia first then swinging south.

RE: Allies invade Java!
More progress on the ground in Java. I should be in Batavia in another few turns.
The KB has been spotted at Singapore. It will be bloody if it sails south. With my CVs and the LBA I have in the area it would be suicidal for it to do so.
Gordon ambushed me at Kragen by moving in a CD unit. I lost 2 DDs and may lose 2 more. Several are badley damaged.
Clear weather in the Arctic should mean more air raids next turn. 1st sweep of Onnekotan Jima was a succes but the 2nd got mauled. Bombers are being sent to shut down the base down this.
Petropavovlsk was nuked by BBs.

The KB has been spotted at Singapore. It will be bloody if it sails south. With my CVs and the LBA I have in the area it would be suicidal for it to do so.
Gordon ambushed me at Kragen by moving in a CD unit. I lost 2 DDs and may lose 2 more. Several are badley damaged.
Clear weather in the Arctic should mean more air raids next turn. 1st sweep of Onnekotan Jima was a succes but the 2nd got mauled. Bombers are being sent to shut down the base down this.
Petropavovlsk was nuked by BBs.

RE: Allies invade Java!
KB made a move towards Miri and a fierce air battle ensued. I managed to break through the CAP but did not score any hits. Hopefully I killed off some air crews.
On the ground in Java I have contested Jakarta and Batavia. Assaults will begin once the rest of the LCUs catch up.
Raids in the Arctic once again had trouble dealing with Jacks.
Overall air losses for the day were about 110 Jap for 90 Allied.
Barges landing at Iloilo ran into a huge minefield and about 25 were sunk. Good thing they respawn.
Tacloban was cleared of enemy troops so there are only a few islands left to take before I have to deal with Luzon. Cebu has 2 divisions so I am debating attacking it for the points or just bypassing it

On the ground in Java I have contested Jakarta and Batavia. Assaults will begin once the rest of the LCUs catch up.
Raids in the Arctic once again had trouble dealing with Jacks.
Overall air losses for the day were about 110 Jap for 90 Allied.
Barges landing at Iloilo ran into a huge minefield and about 25 were sunk. Good thing they respawn.
Tacloban was cleared of enemy troops so there are only a few islands left to take before I have to deal with Luzon. Cebu has 2 divisions so I am debating attacking it for the points or just bypassing it

RE: Allies invade Java!
Jap BBs hit Miri but caused little damage. My AC plastered a convoy at Toboali rather than tangle with the KB again.
LCUs have made contact at Jakarta and Batavia and both look weaker than expected. Both will be attacked next turn.
The weather is clear in the Arcitic so I will be luanching raids against Onnekotan Jima. Hopefully I can take out the Jacks this time

RE: Allies invade Java!
Batavia was recaptured. Defenders consisted of 3 BFs, 3 Road Cosntruction units and 1 Mixed Reg. They were pursued to Merak and should be finished off soon. Then I can swing my full force against the units in the south. SigInt lists at least 2 divisions there.
Surface raid in the Arctic took out a few ships for no cost. I can only do this another turn or two before I have to worry about the KB being in the area again.
