RE: RHS105- Considerations Toward the Evacuation of Malaya
Nor for torpedo armed Nells to attack PT boats - but it happens - our code isn't too bright.
The subs also attack many patrol craft they should not with torpedoes. They are likely to miss
in fact IRL to go right under even if they were on the right bearing!
But some Allied barges get very big - thousands of tons - and in a "combination" they are not
maneuverable - easy to hit.

RE: RHS105- 29 Dec Turn: ACTION!!!
This turn continues the protracted evacuation from Malaya, stage I,
by the Allies. Stage I because even more troops are at Singapore
and presumably are to follow. There is lots of night and day surface
action, as well as air strikes and sub attack. A tiny force of Blenheim
night fighters aquits itself well - yet again - over Kota Bahru. In spite
of the slaughter at sea, the Allies managed to get all but about 804
men out of Port Swettenham - these didn't fare so well when attacked
by Japanese armor! Many were lost at sea, but many more got away.
Allied ships, badly outgunned and outnumbered, acquitted themselves
very well, and some even lived to fight another day.
Never mind all this intensive fighting over Malaya, NW Borneo heated
up again with yet another invasion at Kuching. And we also see the
combat debut of the Ki-44 - not yet operational - in a trials squadron.
Brought in from Manchukuo to China to gain experience, it engaged
obsolete Russian Ki-153s and Ki-16s - and while holding their own
for some time - they ended up losing the match decisively. A Ki-44 is
apparently a fine fighter plane in 1941! [Go figure - since it isn't even
operational in 1941] In other excitement, the raider Thor was spotted -
and spotted Allied ships in turn - at Pago Pago - but no fight (yet).
Since KB is in the same area, the South Seas may yet again see another
battle (so far every one on Japanese terms - with capital ships outweighing
transports and auxiliary craft). But for the first time Allied warships are
spotted - so it may be there is a more serious fight coming.

by the Allies. Stage I because even more troops are at Singapore
and presumably are to follow. There is lots of night and day surface
action, as well as air strikes and sub attack. A tiny force of Blenheim
night fighters aquits itself well - yet again - over Kota Bahru. In spite
of the slaughter at sea, the Allies managed to get all but about 804
men out of Port Swettenham - these didn't fare so well when attacked
by Japanese armor! Many were lost at sea, but many more got away.
Allied ships, badly outgunned and outnumbered, acquitted themselves
very well, and some even lived to fight another day.
Never mind all this intensive fighting over Malaya, NW Borneo heated
up again with yet another invasion at Kuching. And we also see the
combat debut of the Ki-44 - not yet operational - in a trials squadron.
Brought in from Manchukuo to China to gain experience, it engaged
obsolete Russian Ki-153s and Ki-16s - and while holding their own
for some time - they ended up losing the match decisively. A Ki-44 is
apparently a fine fighter plane in 1941! [Go figure - since it isn't even
operational in 1941] In other excitement, the raider Thor was spotted -
and spotted Allied ships in turn - at Pago Pago - but no fight (yet).
Since KB is in the same area, the South Seas may yet again see another
battle (so far every one on Japanese terms - with capital ships outweighing
transports and auxiliary craft). But for the first time Allied warships are
spotted - so it may be there is a more serious fight coming.

RE: RHS105- Considerations Toward the Evacuation of Malaya
The Chinese get frisky - not always without success. The invasions of Palembang,
Sumatra and Buna, New Guinea begin. Submarines continue to be a plague on both sides. The defenses of Clark hold decisively. The Great Raid continues not to find any targets. All in all, an interesting turn.

RE: 4 Jan 42 Turn: The fall of Palembang!!!
As Mifune points out, the offensive continues on all fronts without pause.
In China, the last important position on the Yellow River plain fell today -
after a week of stout resistance. Its retreat path was opened only
yesterday by a rare Chinese shock attack that actually worked. Buna
fell - so New Guinea isn't being ignored. And KB launched strikes from
multiple locations - seems it has split into fragments (why not? there is
no enemy carrier force in thousands of miles). But the big news is not
only that Palembang fell, it fell at remarkably low cost. Not one ship has
been sunk yet - and only one was damaged so far. Not to be outdone,
the Philippines saw the capture of Jolo, with its fine airfield, by airborne.

In China, the last important position on the Yellow River plain fell today -
after a week of stout resistance. Its retreat path was opened only
yesterday by a rare Chinese shock attack that actually worked. Buna
fell - so New Guinea isn't being ignored. And KB launched strikes from
multiple locations - seems it has split into fragments (why not? there is
no enemy carrier force in thousands of miles). But the big news is not
only that Palembang fell, it fell at remarkably low cost. Not one ship has
been sunk yet - and only one was damaged so far. Not to be outdone,
the Philippines saw the capture of Jolo, with its fine airfield, by airborne.

RE: RHS105- Western Force Dispatched!
From: Commander, ABDA Command, Batavia, Java, NEI
To: Joint Staff, UK and JCS, USA
Subject: Western Force Dispatched
17 ships dispatched to raid Sinkawang, flagship Mauritius.
Home port Singapore, retirement authorized. This is first of
all a raid, with react = 1, to disrupt shipping in the waters
between Sumatra and Borneo. Its secondary mission is
to insure the operational security of the evacuation convoy,
and to carry additional troops if needed.
3 ships, departing late (150 ops points expended refueling),
flagship Marblehead, will sail for Singapore directly. A similar
hunting expedition, hoping to catch stragglers from surface
actions of the main force.
This operation was approved by the Dutch in part because it
does not involve any Dutch ships. These remain in the Eastern
NEI or elsewhere on Java - to form a new Central Force.

RE: RHS105- Considerations Toward the Evacuation of Malaya
An astonishing turn in some ways, 20 Allied warships passed right through Japanese formations without contact!
Submarines - after not be effective in the defense of Palembang - became a plague once again. Philippine partisans
make their first attack of the war. Another force of Japanese battleships turns up.
The Allied concept of giving enemy bombers warships to shoot at - and make these small and at full speed so hard to hit - worked brilliantly. Unfortunately, it didn't stop enemy subs in the narrow waterway from using their deadly Long Lance torpedoes!

Submarines - after not be effective in the defense of Palembang - became a plague once again. Philippine partisans
make their first attack of the war. Another force of Japanese battleships turns up.

RE: RHS105- 6 Jan 42: The Battle of Malacca Stait!
Most bases should be below 20,000 supply. And even if you want to be over 20,000, at many locations it will never get there unless it is a port
you can dump supply into by ship. To grow industry reliably, you should have over 10,000 plus 1000 for each different industry you want to
grow. To engage in effective construction, I find twice the requirements of units at the base plus 2000 points perfectly adequate. Somewhere
around this value also planes become eligible to use drop tanks.

RE: RHS105- 7 January 42 Turn: Lots of Action!
The Great Raid continues, with an attack on Canton Island!
The Great Escape, or The Second Battle of the Malacca Strait
continues, with many surface, air and submarine engagements.
The slaughter of the laden ships headed North out of Singapore
continues. However, fast transports successfully escaped
Southward, engaging an enemy patrol squadron along the way.
The theory that giving warships troop capacity would allow
fast transports to work turns out to be true - so we will complete
that process for all warships (except those not allowed to
be fast transports).
Submarines continue to be a plague to both sides. But some
ASW ships, in spite of early and relatively ineffective weapons,
are starting to score regularly. An enemy sub boldly sailed right
into Kwajalein - and sank a tanker - but maybe doesn't like what
happened to it - even if it did manage to miss the mines laid there.

The Great Escape, or The Second Battle of the Malacca Strait
continues, with many surface, air and submarine engagements.
The slaughter of the laden ships headed North out of Singapore
continues. However, fast transports successfully escaped
Southward, engaging an enemy patrol squadron along the way.
The theory that giving warships troop capacity would allow
fast transports to work turns out to be true - so we will complete
that process for all warships (except those not allowed to
be fast transports).
Submarines continue to be a plague to both sides. But some
ASW ships, in spite of early and relatively ineffective weapons,
are starting to score regularly. An enemy sub boldly sailed right
into Kwajalein - and sank a tanker - but maybe doesn't like what
happened to it - even if it did manage to miss the mines laid there.
