Japanese forces had surprisingly hard times in Bengal and Assam, where they
nominally enjoy superiority. Attacks at Comilla and Ledo failed, although the
remnants of a Baluch battalion surrendered. Hurricanes performed well yet
again - in spite of dwindling numbers. So did I-16s in China, although the
air base at Sian was heavily damaged - the bombers had prudently left. But the
big news of the day is huge numbers of ships in the waters from Palembang
to Singapore - as far South as Bankha Island. Numbers of battleships and
carriers are reported. This is a bigger amphibious operation than the historical
Japanese ever assembled - and without doubt its target is Java. However,
the Allies have an equally ahistorical defensive force on Java, including most
of the army evacuated from Malaya.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 24 Feb 42: Air Battles at Merak; Many enemy TF at Bankha Island
IJA units landed at both ends of Bhanka Island, due East of Palembang, Sumatra.
Four Japanese TF are also in the middle of the island but did not land troops.
Two of the four locations on the six hex island will be captured tomorrow,
the Southernmost one providing a Level 4 port suitable to repair ships which
may have battle damage from the forthcoming landing operations. There are
no airfields on the island, although eventually that could change. Today's
main activity, aside from the normal plague of submarines on both sides, was
a series of air battles over the Westernmost tip of Java - taking down its
airfield. An Allied FLAK trap turned the otherwise successful operation into
a somewhat pyrrhic one: Japan ended up losing more planes because of it.

Four Japanese TF are also in the middle of the island but did not land troops.
Two of the four locations on the six hex island will be captured tomorrow,
the Southernmost one providing a Level 4 port suitable to repair ships which
may have battle damage from the forthcoming landing operations. There are
no airfields on the island, although eventually that could change. Today's
main activity, aside from the normal plague of submarines on both sides, was
a series of air battles over the Westernmost tip of Java - taking down its
airfield. An Allied FLAK trap turned the otherwise successful operation into
a somewhat pyrrhic one: Japan ended up losing more planes because of it.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 25 Feb 42: Sub/ASW battles on the approach to Western Java!
This was a fairly quiet day in the air - 4 Allied search/recon planes were shot down and
3 Japanese ASW planes were shot down by submarines - all in the area between
Singapore and Batavia. This area is filled with Japanese task forces, with at least part
of the Kiddo Butai and a battleship squadron South of Bankha Island - along with invasion
groups and at least one minelaying group - which Allied recon shows made it all the way
to Oosthaven today. Two TFs, on of them heavy, are two hexes from Merak and from
Batavia. Three more are four hexes out. More are spread out behind them, all the
way to Palembang and Singapore. A second carrier force is apparently near Lingga
Island South of Singapore. The Allied picture does not show any TFs West of Sumatra -
and only one by Celebes. The Japanese used landing craft WITHOUT troops and a
damaged empty ship to attract sub attacks, and that worked several times today -
but one big transport was lost to a sub attack anyway. A third landing went ashore
on Bankha Island today - where two other hexes were captured today - and also a
landing occurred at Kuching. Landings on Java proper seem likely tomorrow.

3 Japanese ASW planes were shot down by submarines - all in the area between
Singapore and Batavia. This area is filled with Japanese task forces, with at least part
of the Kiddo Butai and a battleship squadron South of Bankha Island - along with invasion
groups and at least one minelaying group - which Allied recon shows made it all the way
to Oosthaven today. Two TFs, on of them heavy, are two hexes from Merak and from
Batavia. Three more are four hexes out. More are spread out behind them, all the
way to Palembang and Singapore. A second carrier force is apparently near Lingga
Island South of Singapore. The Allied picture does not show any TFs West of Sumatra -
and only one by Celebes. The Japanese used landing craft WITHOUT troops and a
damaged empty ship to attract sub attacks, and that worked several times today -
but one big transport was lost to a sub attack anyway. A third landing went ashore
on Bankha Island today - where two other hexes were captured today - and also a
landing occurred at Kuching. Landings on Java proper seem likely tomorrow.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 26 Feb 42: Battle of Batavia, Phase 1!
This was generally a very good day for Japan. Something like 14 task forces made it
to the Sunda Strait area, 9 of them penetrating beyond, and three landing no less than
six units on the Southern side of Western Java, covered by no less than three carrier
groups (2 CV divisions, 1 CVL/CVE division). Three individual IJN battleships attempted
airfield suppression raids on Merak, Batavia and Kilatjati - and all three made it back
to their reassembly point at Tabaoli on Banhka Island. They expended their ammunition
in numerous surface actions and in bombarding 2 of the three objective airfields,
destroying and damaging aircraft in numbers on the ground at Batavia, and sinking most
of the enemy ships encountered except for the last group - Prince of Wales, Repulse,
Warspite, the French Le Triumphant, and a destroyer - and managed to score a couple
of hits in spite of being virtually with empty magazines even on them. For reasons unclear,
the Allied battleships failed to retire, and so they took air strikes later in the day. However,
the damage done to Prince of Wales and Repulse was offset by Allied fighters, belatedly
effective after a dismal day, decimating four squadrons of Japanese carrier bombers.
Even so, it appears that on the order of two strongly reinforced divisions have made it
to virtually undefended invasion beaches, the main force being only one hex from Batavia
connected by a primary road. These include the elite unit of the IJA, its only Class A
semi-motorized division and the only division in world history to issue every line infantry
man both a machine gun and a rifle (the decision which to use made by the squad leader
before each action, the extra plus ammo carried on a bike). The only good news is
recon indicates that enemy armor is massed on Sumatra and Bankha Islands, so it isn't
in the landings. Japan did suffer expensive ground casualties at Bataan and at Changsha
in China. On the other hand, the third attempt by light airborne to capture Ledo finally
succeeded today.

to the Sunda Strait area, 9 of them penetrating beyond, and three landing no less than
six units on the Southern side of Western Java, covered by no less than three carrier
groups (2 CV divisions, 1 CVL/CVE division). Three individual IJN battleships attempted
airfield suppression raids on Merak, Batavia and Kilatjati - and all three made it back
to their reassembly point at Tabaoli on Banhka Island. They expended their ammunition
in numerous surface actions and in bombarding 2 of the three objective airfields,
destroying and damaging aircraft in numbers on the ground at Batavia, and sinking most
of the enemy ships encountered except for the last group - Prince of Wales, Repulse,
Warspite, the French Le Triumphant, and a destroyer - and managed to score a couple
of hits in spite of being virtually with empty magazines even on them. For reasons unclear,
the Allied battleships failed to retire, and so they took air strikes later in the day. However,
the damage done to Prince of Wales and Repulse was offset by Allied fighters, belatedly
effective after a dismal day, decimating four squadrons of Japanese carrier bombers.
Even so, it appears that on the order of two strongly reinforced divisions have made it
to virtually undefended invasion beaches, the main force being only one hex from Batavia
connected by a primary road. These include the elite unit of the IJA, its only Class A
semi-motorized division and the only division in world history to issue every line infantry
man both a machine gun and a rifle (the decision which to use made by the squad leader
before each action, the extra plus ammo carried on a bike). The only good news is
recon indicates that enemy armor is massed on Sumatra and Bankha Islands, so it isn't
in the landings. Japan did suffer expensive ground casualties at Bataan and at Changsha
in China. On the other hand, the third attempt by light airborne to capture Ledo finally
succeeded today.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 27 Feb 42: Battle of Batavia, Phase 2!
During the night move, a RNN destroyer division and three groups of ABDA
PT boats covered themselves in glory at the Sunda Strait (Merak, the Western
end of Java). They followed enemy survivors into Oosthaven at the SE end
of Sumatra. In confused night fighting, the objective task force was missed
entirely, but a major following task force and individual ships attempting to
run in supplies were found, engaged and either sunk or diverted to their
home port (of Oosthaven) rather than proceed on to one of the two beachheads
on Java. All the destroyers and most or all of the PT boats survived undamaged,
and withdrew back to their ports of origin, expending ops points to refuel. This
enemy lost troops from his third wave invasion forces as well as supplies bound
for the invasion area and the ships and landing craft (engaged in long sea transit)
which carried them. But the second wave reached the main landing beach and
successfully unloaded, as did the few remaining troops of the first wave. Many
of the first wave ships withdrew to Oosthaven - where there are now 15 land units
to pick up - only to become entangled in the night fighting. Several small, medium
and heavy surface task groups in the same hex failed to get into the fight at any
point! Otherwise, the day was a massive air battle over the main invasion beach
SW of Batavia. Both sides committed hundreds of aircraft, the Allies throwing in
bombers to sink ships as well as to hit the land units to both hurt them and slow
down their approach to Batavia. Both objectives had partial success. Most successful
was a combined heavy and medium bomber strike escorted by long range Dutch
339 Buffalos: this penetrated the defense and caused significantly more than 500
casualties from an enemy division in the hex, and cost it more than 10 miles of possible
movement in its persuit. Only one B-17 and a few medium bombers were lost, but
20 of the Buffalos were shot down. The naval strike force was nearly wiped out,
as were its escorts, although a few dive bombers did hit, damage and/or sink ships
in the target hex. Air to air losses were 228 Allied to 41 Japanese. This was more
decisive than it seems as it broke the back of Allied planning - which had spent months
preparing for this very battle - and has been heavily engaged only for two days. The
Japanese decision to depend on fighters to win and to hold their bombers back (based
on experience fighting in Burma and Bengal) appears to have been justified.

PT boats covered themselves in glory at the Sunda Strait (Merak, the Western
end of Java). They followed enemy survivors into Oosthaven at the SE end
of Sumatra. In confused night fighting, the objective task force was missed
entirely, but a major following task force and individual ships attempting to
run in supplies were found, engaged and either sunk or diverted to their
home port (of Oosthaven) rather than proceed on to one of the two beachheads
on Java. All the destroyers and most or all of the PT boats survived undamaged,
and withdrew back to their ports of origin, expending ops points to refuel. This
enemy lost troops from his third wave invasion forces as well as supplies bound
for the invasion area and the ships and landing craft (engaged in long sea transit)
which carried them. But the second wave reached the main landing beach and
successfully unloaded, as did the few remaining troops of the first wave. Many
of the first wave ships withdrew to Oosthaven - where there are now 15 land units
to pick up - only to become entangled in the night fighting. Several small, medium
and heavy surface task groups in the same hex failed to get into the fight at any
point! Otherwise, the day was a massive air battle over the main invasion beach
SW of Batavia. Both sides committed hundreds of aircraft, the Allies throwing in
bombers to sink ships as well as to hit the land units to both hurt them and slow
down their approach to Batavia. Both objectives had partial success. Most successful
was a combined heavy and medium bomber strike escorted by long range Dutch
339 Buffalos: this penetrated the defense and caused significantly more than 500
casualties from an enemy division in the hex, and cost it more than 10 miles of possible
movement in its persuit. Only one B-17 and a few medium bombers were lost, but
20 of the Buffalos were shot down. The naval strike force was nearly wiped out,
as were its escorts, although a few dive bombers did hit, damage and/or sink ships
in the target hex. Air to air losses were 228 Allied to 41 Japanese. This was more
decisive than it seems as it broke the back of Allied planning - which had spent months
preparing for this very battle - and has been heavily engaged only for two days. The
Japanese decision to depend on fighters to win and to hold their bombers back (based
on experience fighting in Burma and Bengal) appears to have been justified.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 28 Feb 42: Battle of Batavia, Phase 3: City Invested!
In an amazing march performance, 25th Army HQ, in company with the 5th
(Semi-Motorized Class A) Division, the 4th (Class B) Division, and the 3rd
Mobile (= Motorized 15 cm) Artillery Regiment invested Batavia today, never
mind not one of them was halfway to the hex yesterday, when all four engaged
in pursuit of the Luftwatch Squadron (Company) of cavalry which had been
engaged by an independent infantry regiment. So the first assault will happen
tomorrow, ahead of expectation. The Kiddo Butai has moved off to points
unknown, and the air picture generally is poor - the few planes shot down
were search planes, preventing a good sense of where enemy TFs are and
what directions they are moving?

(Semi-Motorized Class A) Division, the 4th (Class B) Division, and the 3rd
Mobile (= Motorized 15 cm) Artillery Regiment invested Batavia today, never
mind not one of them was halfway to the hex yesterday, when all four engaged
in pursuit of the Luftwatch Squadron (Company) of cavalry which had been
engaged by an independent infantry regiment. So the first assault will happen
tomorrow, ahead of expectation. The Kiddo Butai has moved off to points
unknown, and the air picture generally is poor - the few planes shot down
were search planes, preventing a good sense of where enemy TFs are and
what directions they are moving?

RE: RHS Test 8A: 1 March 42: Battle of Batavia, Phase 4: Shock Attack Fails!!!
Today, which continues the general disaster for the Allies on all fronts, may still
be regarded as a good one from the Allied point of view: all three attacks the
Japanese considered important and likely to win were unsuccessful. This includes
a maximum effort at Batavia, a continuing assault at Cebu, and the largest air
assault of the war yet in India. The Allies succeeded in force marching reinforcements
into Batavia. The city itself is newly defined as a major urban hex (due to the fact it
is one) and had level 3 fortifications - which were not reduced. This in spite of many
bombardments and the landing of eight additional units (there were only four there
when the turn began) and a shock attack. Luck and weather were both factors:
one entire Japanese regiment was lost at sea when PT boats sank two large transports
and critical air strikes got socked in by bad weather. The one unusual aspect of this
day is a lack of air casualties on both sides, particularly compared to the intense air
battles near Batavia not long ago. Another unusual feature is the KB broke into parts,
one operating far South of Java, another operating near its Western End.

be regarded as a good one from the Allied point of view: all three attacks the
Japanese considered important and likely to win were unsuccessful. This includes
a maximum effort at Batavia, a continuing assault at Cebu, and the largest air
assault of the war yet in India. The Allies succeeded in force marching reinforcements
into Batavia. The city itself is newly defined as a major urban hex (due to the fact it
is one) and had level 3 fortifications - which were not reduced. This in spite of many
bombardments and the landing of eight additional units (there were only four there
when the turn began) and a shock attack. Luck and weather were both factors:
one entire Japanese regiment was lost at sea when PT boats sank two large transports
and critical air strikes got socked in by bad weather. The one unusual aspect of this
day is a lack of air casualties on both sides, particularly compared to the intense air
battles near Batavia not long ago. Another unusual feature is the KB broke into parts,
one operating far South of Java, another operating near its Western End.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 4 March 42: The Battle of Bali!
In a complicated series of maneuvers, and in the context of generally heavy weather
prenting massive air operations, the combined IJN carrier force approached and
crossed the Malay barrier at Bima, Sumbawa - meeting after doing so a combined
set of amphibious, refueling and ASW task forces approaching from the NE (out of
Kendari). Anticipating such a move, the Allies sent the Eastern Striking Force (a
CL and 9 DD) into Makassar - the presumed enemy assembly point - and the
ABDA Battle Fleet - to the Lombok Strait - this latter supported by submarines and
light forces. Still other Allied task forces were sent on deception missions - to
confusse the enemy - and on escape missions - to get out of the Java Sea while
there might be an opportunity. Japanese land based air again struck South from
Kendari at ships loading at Lautern, Timor as well as West from the same base
at the Allied ships at Makassar - which had failed to retire for lack of sufficient
fuel. KB also struck ineffectively - at the loss of yet another bomber squadron -
at the Allied Battle Fleet as well as at Eastern Striking Force at Makassar - all of
which survived the day. Surpisingly the Japanese also sent Ki-49s to weaken
the already weak defense of Denpassar (Bali) - and then captured it by
airborne assault with a naval airborne SNLF.

prenting massive air operations, the combined IJN carrier force approached and
crossed the Malay barrier at Bima, Sumbawa - meeting after doing so a combined
set of amphibious, refueling and ASW task forces approaching from the NE (out of
Kendari). Anticipating such a move, the Allies sent the Eastern Striking Force (a
CL and 9 DD) into Makassar - the presumed enemy assembly point - and the
ABDA Battle Fleet - to the Lombok Strait - this latter supported by submarines and
light forces. Still other Allied task forces were sent on deception missions - to
confusse the enemy - and on escape missions - to get out of the Java Sea while
there might be an opportunity. Japanese land based air again struck South from
Kendari at ships loading at Lautern, Timor as well as West from the same base
at the Allied ships at Makassar - which had failed to retire for lack of sufficient
fuel. KB also struck ineffectively - at the loss of yet another bomber squadron -
at the Allied Battle Fleet as well as at Eastern Striking Force at Makassar - all of
which survived the day. Surpisingly the Japanese also sent Ki-49s to weaken
the already weak defense of Denpassar (Bali) - and then captured it by
airborne assault with a naval airborne SNLF.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 6 March 42: The Battles of the Sunda Strait!
In a remarkable series of actions, combined RN and USN task forces of cruisers and
battleships closed on Oosthaven and two invasion beaches in SW Java. At the
same time, the IJN shifted its invasion efforts to Merak on the Sunda Strait itself -
at one point enemy battleships were only one hex apart. In a confused series of
actions, more Japanese ships were sunk and/or damaged in a single day than in
the entire war so far. Nevertheless, Japanese warships won an opeational victory -
the Allied effort to get at troopships, hopefully laden with Japanese troops, was
utterly unsuccessful. Adding to the surprise actions, the main body of the Kiddo
Butai appeared well South of Java - sinking an AK - and threatening both evacuation
convoys from Java and the Allied surface forces!

battleships closed on Oosthaven and two invasion beaches in SW Java. At the
same time, the IJN shifted its invasion efforts to Merak on the Sunda Strait itself -
at one point enemy battleships were only one hex apart. In a confused series of
actions, more Japanese ships were sunk and/or damaged in a single day than in
the entire war so far. Nevertheless, Japanese warships won an opeational victory -
the Allied effort to get at troopships, hopefully laden with Japanese troops, was
utterly unsuccessful. Adding to the surprise actions, the main body of the Kiddo
Butai appeared well South of Java - sinking an AK - and threatening both evacuation
convoys from Java and the Allied surface forces!

RE: RHS Test 8A: 11 March 42: A Quiet Day
Almost no air strikes flew, not even those planned. The Kiddo Butai
disappeared off the NW coast of Australia. Numbers of Japanese Task
Forces appeared just four hexes East of Soerabaja - with more streaming
up the Malacca Strait behind them. Presumably this is the lull before
a storm - a battle for the approaches to Eastern Java - likely tomorrow.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 13 March 42: KB Strikes!
The Kiddo Butai finally found the main body of task groups evacuating troops from Java, and launched multiple air strikes in every direction, sinking outright or fatally damaging many ships. One had an entire squadron of relatively long range Dutch Buffalos on board. A pair of minesweepers unable to move due to having run out of fuel were also caught in the storm.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 13 March 42: Fortress Java Comments
The Allied strategy of concentration of forces in and near Java was not enough
to save the island nor turn the war around. But it might have been had the Kiddo Butai
not entered the theater. The enemy decision to delay or cancel operations in the Pacific, and to transfer significant aviation assets from the Bay of Bengal Area and the Philippines and from China, had negative impacts on all those areas of operations. The enemy has paid a significant price in ships sunk, troops sunk on board them, and aircraft casualties, such that a period of time is going to be required to reconstitute air groups, which are critically short of bombers in particular. The Allies sought to inflict air casualties using AAA, and that worked superbly. The enemy failed to do a comprehensive recon of the area and never realized the extent to which the Allies had concentrated. If they had not decided to send the KB for another week or two - they might have suffered a strategic defeat.
The strategy DID delay the fall of Java - which is now past its historical date - an unusual event in a war where the enemy consistently takes things much sooner than history. And it has not yet fallen - the delay will be more weeks still.
That said, the Allied strategy was a technical violation of the RHS primary rule:
if you don't think historical commanders would have done it, don't do it.
It is hard to believe that historical commanders would have denuded so many areas and concentrated so heavily on a distant front where the prospects for victory were marginal at best.
