Allied Ship Losses
Allied ships lost after 1/30/42. Not too many have to try and expand this number. The two carriers showed up in this list in the last few days. But after all the sunk, not sunk, sunk messages I have no confidence that they have sunk.

Just realised that I had stripped all the resources from China and it was building very little supply. My bad! have cancelled all convoys to china to try and fix this. Should be ok again in a few months.

Japanese forces CAPTURE Yenan !!! Woohoo the deversion attack has had much more luck than the real attacks. The units here will be cut off this turn I will suck up the supply from the base and retreat back to where they started. Yenan has 40 resource points that are now 34 Damaged and 6 OK. This means Yenan is no longer a resource point of much value. It would cost 34000 supply point to fix it.

Junyo arrives this gives me 3 Slow CVs and 1 small carrier force. I am still stuffed!!!!

Luganville is still expanding fast must have all his seebee's there.

spotted CV Formidable near Buitenzorg at 45,99 looks like he is waiting for the attack on java to spring his next carrier supprise. I may send my light carriers around the sabang end of samatra and see if I can come in behind him.

Rabaul:
Got hit hard by B-26 Marauders. The rabaul Zeros are totally use less. They lost thier HQ when thier CV sank and now they really do not want to fly. 80% cap and only 2 flying.

I now hope these are wrong if he can get ships to these spots around Roi-Nam an Kwaja Is without being seen until they arrive. There will be no way to defend against an invasion.

Rebaul:
I found out why my Zero's did not fly in defence of Rebaul. The two fighter Units I moved to Rabaul after their carriers sank have resized back to 1 plane in each group, from 18. Now Rebaul has 2 Zero units with 1 plane in each and 18 spare pilots for each. I thought I will just resize them back up to 18 planes (get plane buttons not there). Will move them back to truk and try again. At the same time I went to the rebuild destroyed air unit link, thinking this would help clicked on one of the units. Payed big PP woohoo it worked, WHAT, 360 Days before they return what a waste. (Not touching that button again until after patch 2)

Celebes:
Moving air assets to Makassar to cover my drive to Balikpapan and the Lower end of Java.

Well there's ya problem

Post by StoneAge »

I was pulling most of my supply out of china BIG MISTAKE!!! This is a list of my current CS convoys in the home islands. I am currently about 23500 resources per day down from what I can send to Honshu.

Fix:
1) Send the CS convoys I was using in China to Hokkaido and Sakhlin.
2) Replace slow PB's in my convoys for PB's that can cruise @ 10. This will give me convoy cruise speeds of 3 hex, not the current 2
3) keep convoys under TS for smallest port in CS.
4) Try to send CS to port of same size both ends.

APD Nadakaze got hit by an egg yesterday and today takes a fish, they should stay out of the kitchen. I must be doing something wrong with the Fast Transport. Nadakaze is the 4th one I have lost on this mission type. They have a habit of sitting there for days instead of, in and out fast. I set the troops to combat mode.

China:
Is a real problem my attacks are breaking down with massive cas. Anywhere I attack seems to get plastered by B-17's, they are deadly most of my Divs now have AV of about 200.

It is time to start thinking about Attacking Java

Part 1 of the plane is to start to remove his CAP from Java.
1) Night bombing of airfields to lower his moral
2) Sweeping small bases without CAP next to large base with CAP to get small amounts of CAP bleed to give me a 2:1 or more advantage.
3) Bring in the day bombers with large escorts to finish of his air

First two days of these attacks from Oosthaven on Merak , at 48,97.
Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 1 destroyed

Allied aircraft losses
B-339D: 1 destroyed
P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed
P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed
P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed
P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed

5:1 not bad

China:
I am trying to win china without using massive stacks of units or removing to many units from K. I have paid PP for 3 units so far 1 arty 1 aviation support and 1 AA Not working to well at the moment every time I move I get hit by waves of B-17s talk about arty death stars.

Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 1 destroyed

B-339D: 1 destroyed
B-339D: 1 destroyed
2:1 not Good (8 days 11:3(3.6:1)) This is for only the attacks by ths group. There are other attacks taking place near Palembang that are taking a toll on his fighters as well.

Major Air attack on Hankow (Airfield and Port),Palembang (Ground) and Lae multiple attacks by all his bombers.

I'm getting sick of subs camping out in my ports and not having anything to get rid of them. Even with 3 seperate PB's patroling the port his sub gets past all them and the tanker convoys own PB guard to sink him. If this is how good allied subs are this early I can't wait to see thier skills later on.
