I have decided to send the BB Pennsylvania TF to Singapore for repairs Hong Kong is pretty crowded with broken ships so it will be better to send them there. System damage the curse of my navies after their constant use. The Great White Fleet is sailing out of Singapore to relieve them patrolling the coast of the Philippines for Japanese shipping.

I think the Japanese BB Tosa is the unluckiest ship in the campaign she takes two torpedoes off of Formosa I guess she'll have to go in for repairs again.

Defeated Japanese Units Retreating!

The Joint Force at Aparri is successful [:)] I decided to reroute the French infantry from Haiphong to Laoag which is right next to Aparri. I'm gonna move the 21st U.S. Cav to join them in taking that port as well. If the allied armies can hold these ports it will really cut the options open to Japanese supply ships. I want to rush more forces to the Northern Philippines but shipping is real tight again due to some storms in the Pacific one of my big AK Convoy TF's has a whole lot of damage its gonna need some repairs in Los Angeles or San Diego. We'll have to see how this play's out. Hong Kong is now a level 9 port which is great because now I can rearm minelayers there I have activated a Mine laying TF to mine the Pescadores which I mined awhile ago to some nice effect. I am also contemplating mining the remaining Japanese held ports in the Philippines.

Well the BB Tosa sank from the topedoes she recieved recently that unlucky ship has met her fate finally. The blimps based at Hong Kong are fantastic I now have a clear view of all the subs in the area now its real nice I think my ASW campaign is gonna be much more affective now.

Well the war is now entering its second year with no end in sight. The liberation of the Philippines is gonna take alot more time then I expected but I think with the taking of the northern Luzon ports the Japanese army will wither due to lack of supplies unless of course they start sending ships into the southern Luzon ports. I think if I liberate all of the Philippines the next target will be Korea and Port Arthur. I believe Formosa is just one giant fortress and it can be neutralized by blockade alone. After taking Korea I will hit the home islands and hopefully end the war. Were talking a couple of years further into the game though by the looks of things. Well anyway here's the score after one year of war.

Well the old ships of the U.S. navy are back again the great white fleet due to lack of targets decided to bombard the Japanese held port of Lingayen in the northern Philippines. It's been pretty quiet the last couple of turns probably due to the bad weather in the South China sea I haven't spotted too many Japanese ships.

I have dispatched the 2nd UK Division to reinforce the forces in northern Luzon. I wanted to send some troops from the U.S. as well but so far I got no ships available to send them. I have a small force thats about to land on Marcus Island a U.S. army brigade and some coastal guns the Japanese seem to pass this island alot to supply Wake and having some big guns there might take out some Japanese supply ships.

Allies take Marcus Island hoping to cut Japanese supply lines to Wake
