[DOCUP]

[zuluhour]

Yep, served from '73-'83 in 1/1 Cav in Schwabach. The "blackhawks" (1/1/ cav) was the screen for the division.

[DOCUP]

Got a hairbrained idea guys. Yea another one. What do you all think about airlifting some PI troops for one of those islands to Naga or Legaspi (still in my hands) I think he only has a small force in this area and I would say that he only has a BF guarding the rear. Yea I know it will take a few turns to get enought man power there but itmight just throw him off track.

Still the 20th of Dec
&nbsp;
Just finishing the turn.&nbsp; Going to try a hay maker.&nbsp; KB is west of Palemburg.&nbsp; I am going for a night attack with some Brit torp bombers and some cats.&nbsp; Lets hope they hit a few ships.&nbsp; I am not going to go with the airlift forces behind his lines.&nbsp; I can use those cats for other things that are more important down the road.&nbsp; Lets see how things go.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Also I am trying to load pics that are to big how do I make them smaller so I can load them on here.

The program seems to handle full screen shots, are you loading RL pics? I try and use the crop tool to limit the size of the area to what matters most, if that helps.

These pics are of the USS North Carolina from my vacation.

22nd Dec
&nbsp;
KB raiding DEI.
&nbsp;
Bad Lost another 2 brigades well mostly.&nbsp; They were 1 hex away from their destination.&nbsp; When they got hit by a CL and 2 DD TF.&nbsp; CL Ceres put up a good fight she sank one DD and damaged the others.&nbsp; She will make it but most of her flock won't.
&nbsp;
PI
Bombings
&nbsp;
Malaya
troop movements.&nbsp; A Dutch sub suck a PB.
&nbsp;
DEI
KB raiding.&nbsp; When is it going to go back to port?&nbsp; I have lost around 16 xAPs 2 AS 1 AR several xAKs and xAKLs along with most of 3 brigades.&nbsp; I am not doing so well.&nbsp; My plans for protecting Timor not going to happen now.&nbsp; My stupid mistakes and unlucky rolls of the die have put a stop to some plans.&nbsp; I am learning though.&nbsp; It is Scen 1 so it's not as bad as it could.&nbsp; I will get those troops and ships back.
&nbsp;
more later got to mow the yard hopefully for the last time this year.

AC loses to 22nd Dec. I am happy with this. I have 3 AVG with 4 kills each 3 Am pilots in the PI with 3 kills each 1 Aussi pilot with 3 kills. It's a race who will get to be the Allies first Aces!

[DOCUP]

sorry posted wrong ac loses this is 22nd Dec

[DOCUP]

22nd Dec ship loses for IJN. There is some FOW the main screen says I have sunk 16 ships for 187 points. I have like 22 ships on my list. I think one of the CS might have made it out and not for sure about the 2 DDs and 1 CA sunk due to mines. That would be nice though.

[DOCUP]

China I actually got a big (what I am calling big) win today (22nd Dec)

[DOCUP]

So I need to figure out my new plans.&nbsp; I think my plans were a little flawed to begin with.&nbsp; I'm not experienced enough to go and play aggressive early.&nbsp; So I will back off some and see where he's going.&nbsp; I will plan ambush in areas I think he will visit.&nbsp; I've lost alot of ships and troops for nothing because of my mistakes and bad luck.&nbsp; But I still love this game.&nbsp; I would like to see and AE 2 with some changes to the Allied side.

&nbsp;
KB DEI raiding still.&nbsp; Go home!!!!!
Bad Another troop TF gets slaughtered.&nbsp; Again this CA TF was not spotted by any of my search planes.
&nbsp;
PI
Bombings
&nbsp;
Malaya
Bombings and the Japs moving down towards Singers.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
DEI
Well I know where most of his navy is.&nbsp; My count 5 CAs, 3 CLs, 12 DDs are in small 3 or 4 ship TFs in DEI.&nbsp; The KB has 3 BBs couple CAs, CLs, and 6 DDs.&nbsp; I know he has more but thats a good bit of his navy and they are patroling the back side of Timor also.&nbsp; Thats were both troop TFS were attacked.&nbsp; On the good side&nbsp;CA Houston's TF encountered a 3 DD TF by Taraken sinking one of the DDs.&nbsp; British torp bombers caught a CA and sunk it.&nbsp; A CL caught a 500 pounder.&nbsp; I just noticed that alot of my TFs have high detection ratings.&nbsp; Hmm not good.&nbsp; I figured that he wouldn't be on that side of the Timor Islands.
&nbsp;
So I don't know what he has going on outside of of PI, Malaya, and DEI.&nbsp; Alot of subs outside PH.&nbsp; I don't see anything moving around the Pacific.&nbsp; Wake has a detection of 1/3.&nbsp; I wonder what he is up to.

24th and 25th Dec
&nbsp;
KB just north of Ambon.&nbsp; I hope its leaving
&nbsp;
Not much has went on.&nbsp; He has taken more bases along the northern coast of Borneo.&nbsp; I am still airlifting units all over the place.&nbsp; He still has not put his nose into the Pacific.&nbsp; HMM no recon or nothing.&nbsp; He is making a move for northern China.&nbsp; Other than that not much.&nbsp; Sorebjea (sp) was hit hard trying to get the repair yards to repair, they are up to 5k now.&nbsp; I got alot of ships close to sinking and could use the yards.&nbsp; I also got some warships that need some everyday damage repaired.&nbsp; Maybe later I will post more and some screenies.&nbsp; But got to spend time with the family.

26th Dec

KB Lost contact with it as it left the Celebes area.

Good news got the A24s and there moving to PM and into DEI it will take a few days to get them into DEI but can't wait.

PI
His troops are now at Clark field and they bombareded it. Oh great. I have 800+ AV there with 1 fort, yes 1 fort. I have not been able to get it up or the other damaged areas down.

Malaya
Bombings. I did hit a DD today with 3 500lb bombs leaving the DD with heavy fires and heavy damage. Hopefully that bastarded will sink.

Borneo
Northern Borneo is now almost all under his control. He has a landing force with its TF at one base now. I am sending the Huston TFup to meet them. There is a SAG moving around in the area. Intell has it leaving the area maybe I can miss it and hit the amphib TF.

DEI
Moving troops. The last tanker from Palemburg got tt and sank. Pburg is almost a level 3 fort with 200 or so AV (I'm thinking will have to check my computer when the FU gets down looking at wedding stuff). HEHEH I did get her to say yes to Hawaii for the Honeymoon. Koniu has a SAG approaching the straits at Bailipaken(sp). I am hopeing they will come down into my TT bomber range.

A tanker was sunk at PH. He's got his reaction set on his subs. That sub followed my ASW forces in and then struck the tanker. Lots of ASW work but nothing to show for it besides dead fish floating around. Atleast he is wasting his TT's and none of my DDs have been hit yet. I am moving forces forward I will be moving units to Ndeni to start building bases there.
