RE: RHS105- 24 January 1942 Turn
This is a fairly interesting turn. The battle for Java has clearly begun, with the first serious air strike today (following a technical sweep yesterday). The invasion of the Andaman islands began. A follow up attack occurs on Tulagi. IJN Tone managed to evade enemy surface forces twice - and at least survived the day - in spite of extensive damage and fires from yesterday. Her DD consort wasn't so lucky. The Japanese noticed the raid out of the jungle on Luzon and are pounding the raiders from the air. The Chinese managed to get the better of an artillery exchange - never mind fewer guns. The fight for central China is anything but over.

RE: RHS105- 25 January 1942
It is a semi-secret from opposite sides, but both sides lost a cruiser today from the battle two days ago - sunk after reaching port - both with huge numbers of fires raging. Both report being sunk by 8 inch shells of the other side.
The air battle for Batavia was worse than it looked like - putting the Japanese a hundred planes ahead in the air exchange rate - and decimating the only large and somewhat effective bomber force the Allies had in play.

RE: RHS105- 26 Jan 42: Air Actions!!!
A fighter trap laid at Batavia was somewhat successful - but failed to save the airfield.
Lack of fighter cover in China was even less successful saving an airfield there. Dutch B-10s still cannot hit the broadside of a barn - even at low altitude.

RE: RHS105- Battles in Burma, Java, Luzon and at sea
Standard fare for the IJ.. except for the torpedo into the Shokaku. She will try for the nearest port. This will cause a setback in Jap SoPac plans...now the allies have a 4cv to 3 cv advantage.

RE: RHS105- 31 January 1942 - Some Allied Air Successes
This was the first good day for the Allies in air combat in some time,
and sub minelaying at Rabaul also paid off. On the other hand,
Japanese submarines remain the plague they have always been. The
Allies lost a big tanker, surely, after it took four fish!
