RE: RHS Test 8A 22 March 42: Another Allied Air Disaster!
Although the Japanese have lost nearly 2700 aircraft to 2400 for the Allies,
including more than twice as many today than the Allies did - the Japanese are
generally able to establish air control where it matters. Today both sides attempted
what should have been reciprocal air strikes over NE India between Dacca and Calcutta - with the Allies committing numbers of generally superior B-17 bombers
well escorted by numbers of fighters. But weather intervened, and in the morning
Dacca was socked in. Japanese strikes from other airfields managed to take down
the runway at Calcutta as well as damage most of the bombers stationed there. In the afternoon the Japanese bombers at Dacca were also able to fly - adding insult to injury by the bombers from other places - resulting in a decisive one sided victory.
The Allies had committed their fighters to escort - so the air strikes on Dacca did not encounter fighter opposition. But so many fighters came on sweeps and escorting Japanese bombers it might have been worse had they been flying!

including more than twice as many today than the Allies did - the Japanese are
generally able to establish air control where it matters. Today both sides attempted
what should have been reciprocal air strikes over NE India between Dacca and Calcutta - with the Allies committing numbers of generally superior B-17 bombers
well escorted by numbers of fighters. But weather intervened, and in the morning
Dacca was socked in. Japanese strikes from other airfields managed to take down
the runway at Calcutta as well as damage most of the bombers stationed there. In the afternoon the Japanese bombers at Dacca were also able to fly - adding insult to injury by the bombers from other places - resulting in a decisive one sided victory.
The Allies had committed their fighters to escort - so the air strikes on Dacca did not encounter fighter opposition. But so many fighters came on sweeps and escorting Japanese bombers it might have been worse had they been flying!

RE: RHS Test 8A 23 March 42: The Allies Strike Back!
On Java, it has been so long since the Allies flew daylight airstrikes,
the Japanese were lulled into not covering their task groups with fighters.
Hoping to catch a surface action group, which prudently left the area after
sinking a ship off Tjilitjap yesterday, the Allied planes instead made strike
after strike against Japanese TFs near Soerabaja, sinking more than a few ships.
In addition, the units which retreated from Kilitjati cut the Japanese LOC from
Batavia to Tjilitjap - on the very day that line had finally been opened by a
recon unit. The price was high - the unit had left Bandoeng (the political capital)
and the mandatory garrison requirement cost the Japanese a victory point. Now
Allied armor is on the road in a position to retake the city unopposed - although
there are only 9 effective AFVs (4 Stuart light tanks, 3 Obervalwagons and 2 armored
cars). The enemy managed to have HQ and supporting artillery catch up with the
advance force at Tjilitjap - but it no longer has a LOC to feed it supplies! A small
armor unit also reached Madisen - a position airborne troops had failed to take and
which in turn had not been wiped out by enemy counterattacks. The situation is dynamic
and generally falling apart rapidly, but the enemy had to accept surprising shipping losses
today and must take unplanned measures to recapture his LOC in the West.

the Japanese were lulled into not covering their task groups with fighters.
Hoping to catch a surface action group, which prudently left the area after
sinking a ship off Tjilitjap yesterday, the Allied planes instead made strike
after strike against Japanese TFs near Soerabaja, sinking more than a few ships.
In addition, the units which retreated from Kilitjati cut the Japanese LOC from
Batavia to Tjilitjap - on the very day that line had finally been opened by a
recon unit. The price was high - the unit had left Bandoeng (the political capital)
and the mandatory garrison requirement cost the Japanese a victory point. Now
Allied armor is on the road in a position to retake the city unopposed - although
there are only 9 effective AFVs (4 Stuart light tanks, 3 Obervalwagons and 2 armored
cars). The enemy managed to have HQ and supporting artillery catch up with the
advance force at Tjilitjap - but it no longer has a LOC to feed it supplies! A small
armor unit also reached Madisen - a position airborne troops had failed to take and
which in turn had not been wiped out by enemy counterattacks. The situation is dynamic
and generally falling apart rapidly, but the enemy had to accept surprising shipping losses
today and must take unplanned measures to recapture his LOC in the West.

RE: RHS Test 8A 24 March 42: Land, air and sea combat on Java!
The Japanese are having surprising trouble wiping out pockets of
mainly non-combat units on Java. The first Japanese attack on
Tjilitjap, with a strong force led by Yamashita himself, achieved
little: ominously, however, the failure to obtain odds didn't prevent
the Japanese from causing more casualties than they took. Even more
surprising is their toleration of Allied offensive air power on the island
- in favor of directly applying air power on Allied ground units. However,
Japanese air attacks are generally effective, and Allied ones - vs
shipping - are not. This will not continue long - except for
Batavia - which continues to be a quiet but intensive future battleground.
There is maneuvering and bombardment on three fronts in China - where
outcomes of battles for Sian, Changsha and the "SE Corner" (of the RR)
remain undecided. The battle in India remains quiet - as advancing
Japanese forces have not yet reached Allied positions. But they are coming!
The Kiddo Butai continues to be invisible - along with most of the battle
fleet - in the Indian Ocean. It is unclear if it is retiring at long last -
or advancing - perhaps on Ceylon? One element of cruisers, however,
appears to be making for the Sunda Strait - either to bombard that pesky
Allied air base on Java or to go refit and rearm at Singapore - or both!

mainly non-combat units on Java. The first Japanese attack on
Tjilitjap, with a strong force led by Yamashita himself, achieved
little: ominously, however, the failure to obtain odds didn't prevent
the Japanese from causing more casualties than they took. Even more
surprising is their toleration of Allied offensive air power on the island
- in favor of directly applying air power on Allied ground units. However,
Japanese air attacks are generally effective, and Allied ones - vs
shipping - are not. This will not continue long - except for
Batavia - which continues to be a quiet but intensive future battleground.
There is maneuvering and bombardment on three fronts in China - where
outcomes of battles for Sian, Changsha and the "SE Corner" (of the RR)
remain undecided. The battle in India remains quiet - as advancing
Japanese forces have not yet reached Allied positions. But they are coming!
The Kiddo Butai continues to be invisible - along with most of the battle
fleet - in the Indian Ocean. It is unclear if it is retiring at long last -
or advancing - perhaps on Ceylon? One element of cruisers, however,
appears to be making for the Sunda Strait - either to bombard that pesky
Allied air base on Java or to go refit and rearm at Singapore - or both!

RE: RHS Test 8A 27 March 42: ROC Attacks at Liuchow!
A small Japanese force "turned the corner" of the ROC lines at Liuchow.
Players call it "the corner" because of a 90 degree bend in the main RR
and road lines - although it is more of a T - since the road continues
on to Indochina. Anyway - in a fairly bold move - that barely worked -
a Japanese division took the city - supported eventually by a brigade -
from half a dozen Chinese corps. Instead of staying there - which would
be sensible in the face of such major enemy formations - the division
moved on - down the road to Kwelin - a good air base. A single weak division
supported by a HQ was in its way - but it brushed them aside. It should
have attacked Kewlin yesterday and did attack today - but its supply line
moves through Liuchow. The ROC army returned in force - 180,000 strong -
and performed a shock attack on the city today. Meanwhile, an IJA RCT
and a small air base unit walked in - making the odds somewhat less severe.
Today we see both sides attacking - the IJA at Kwelin and the ROC at Liuchow.
This was major fighting and to some extent each attack succeeded - at
considerable cost. What remains to be seen is which side can continue the
attrition long enough to end up in control of the entire area?

Players call it "the corner" because of a 90 degree bend in the main RR
and road lines - although it is more of a T - since the road continues
on to Indochina. Anyway - in a fairly bold move - that barely worked -
a Japanese division took the city - supported eventually by a brigade -
from half a dozen Chinese corps. Instead of staying there - which would
be sensible in the face of such major enemy formations - the division
moved on - down the road to Kwelin - a good air base. A single weak division
supported by a HQ was in its way - but it brushed them aside. It should
have attacked Kewlin yesterday and did attack today - but its supply line
moves through Liuchow. The ROC army returned in force - 180,000 strong -
and performed a shock attack on the city today. Meanwhile, an IJA RCT
and a small air base unit walked in - making the odds somewhat less severe.
Today we see both sides attacking - the IJA at Kwelin and the ROC at Liuchow.
This was major fighting and to some extent each attack succeeded - at
considerable cost. What remains to be seen is which side can continue the
attrition long enough to end up in control of the entire area?

RE: RHS Test 8A 28 March 42: Battle of Kwelin and the Destruction of ROCAF!
The Chinese decision to counterattack at the "corner" (Liuchow),
so called because of a 90 degree turn in the RR in South China,
required a second wave assault to take the city, which nearly fell
yesterday. The actual second assault was to have happened tomorrow,
to give the assault force time to recover from its shock attack.
But ROCAF decided to stay in the battle as a factor - and stayed
at its forward base at Kwelin - in spite of that location having
been attacked by an unusually effective Class B Motorized Division
yesterday. It was hoped that it lacked the supplies or was too
exhausted to continue its attack today, or that if it did attack,
the city would require two more days to fall. The gamble failed,
and Kwelin fell today, taking with it the entire remaining effective
non-AVG squadrons of ROCAF. The consequences of this are that
China will probably abandon both Central and South China in favor
of a defense of the Chunking Basin and the Western Redoubt around
Kunming.

so called because of a 90 degree turn in the RR in South China,
required a second wave assault to take the city, which nearly fell
yesterday. The actual second assault was to have happened tomorrow,
to give the assault force time to recover from its shock attack.
But ROCAF decided to stay in the battle as a factor - and stayed
at its forward base at Kwelin - in spite of that location having
been attacked by an unusually effective Class B Motorized Division
yesterday. It was hoped that it lacked the supplies or was too
exhausted to continue its attack today, or that if it did attack,
the city would require two more days to fall. The gamble failed,
and Kwelin fell today, taking with it the entire remaining effective
non-AVG squadrons of ROCAF. The consequences of this are that
China will probably abandon both Central and South China in favor
of a defense of the Chunking Basin and the Western Redoubt around
Kunming.

RE: RHS Test 8A 1 April 42: The Kiddo Butai Retires!
This appears to be a quiet day. It masks some important
developments: at the end of the day Allied recon shows
KB retired in four groups SE from Ceylon; at the same
time, there is no sign the Japanese are moving to exploit
a general retreat in Central and South China; finally
the Yamato (badly hurt by bombs and torpedoes) disappeared!
