Allied forces sweep hither and thither but find no Japanese planes either in Indochina or the Marshalls where they where hunting Rufes.

Betties however are sortied against the convoy headed to Rangoon?

A few cruisers dodge, but the Prince can't escape more torpedoes!

A very good day for air losses. I didn't even lose a Pete![;)]

No losses on the ground![:)]

Bagged my first two Jugs!

Very pleased. Time to open up something special.

ps: If you got this far and missed the updates on the Prince of Wales, go back and read the bottom of the prior page.Image

Did you try forming the CS in a TF, setting the air unit to resize, then disbanding the TF immediately? That usually instantly resizes the air unit.

The anticipated attack at Tavoy went off: Deliberate. Prior to the attack a lot of 4Es bombed the troops to the south that were heading into Tavoy (2 1/3rds of the 21st Div in reserve mode). Damage was light, and it looks like the units in reserve did fight in the battle, although not really well. But, then again, hardly got damaged, and the overall attack was a 1-2.

The Allies brought a United Nations force with lots of artillery.

I should be able to reinforce before anything gets out of hand.


Near Lashio the 1000 tanks have stopped moving on Lashio. Bad scouting or low on supplies? All across Indochina/Burma the Allies are very active: bombing, fighting, flying, eating supplies left and right.

All in the same turn? They are on a CS now. I saved the game, set up a task force, resized the group, and disbanded but no joy.

Now, I have flown the squadron off the CS to Saigon and see if that will do anything.

I am copying this post from the bottom of the last page because it is potentially very interesting and shouldn't be potentially missed by the gentle reader.

I somehow doubt that those are really APs coming at me, since the Betties only attacked xaks (nice ones the Harriman class[:)]), but I guess I need to sortie all the heavy beasties of the IJN and prepare for the worst.

What size AF is CRB? What size port (shouldn't matter)?

Move the CS to Singapore. If it doesn't resize there, then you've got something weird going on.

I bet he's coming to land at Moulmein. Foolish of him, though, without CV cover.

Cam Ranh Bay 7 port, 5 af. I will try your suggestion next. For the now the squadron is moved off the CS and based at Saigon.

Here is a look at the standout Pete squadron doing night CAP over Bangkok. Nothing special pilot wise, but worth their weight in gold. Many thanks Dan for the excellent idea.

What does the orange and green numbers mean? I looked once, and green is pretty simple it increased, but orange?
