Looks like he repaired a lot of the base for you - mighty sporting of him!

[Drakanel]

That's almost intact. Except from the repair shipyard, but you'll repair that I suppose. Still a really good feeling, finally

I bombed that repair shipyard a long time ago to stifle IJN repairs. They repaired it up to that level.

Support units and reinforcements are railing in. At Kukong some units will go north to catch the retreated enemy while others go south to catch an enemy Rgt(?) which slipped out before combat. Next attack at Canton tomorrow, AV is 3,285.

Okinawa.

[RangerJoe]

It looks so very nice!

As long as it will not activate the Home Island reinforcements, are your Okinawan are resources going to take some or all of the islands off Kyushu for fighter bases if they are weakly held? That could put a lot of pressure on the HI area Japanese air units. With the capture of Hokkaido, there won't be too many places for I & I for the Home island air units.

[Lowpe]

Let me be the first to say: "Happy New Year!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPnhaGWBnys

[witpqs]

Thanks! [:)]

It will be a few days before the next turn as 'an even higher HQ' has absconded with DAW (for strategic consultations, I'm sure).

As far as the islands close to Kyushu, any island close to one of the Japanese main islands has air that is heavily polluted with large bits of hostile metal. Even places lightly held on the ground require a major commitment and entail significant risk to air and sea assets. My plans always adapt to the situation but at the moment those particular plans are the same as last reviewed here: Hokkaido is the next major amphibious operation. As I recall without looking that will be roughly the middle of February.

Notice that in China the operation to reduce Canton and Hong Kong is going well and without unforeseen delays. Yet the operation on the flank - to secure the flank of the main spearhead and apply pressure to fix and impede enemy forces - is exceeding expectations. Indeed, it's encountering or causing that rapid collapse which Roger Neilson predicted. So we are pushing farther in opportune directions and ways different from the plan before the operation started.

But in this area, Hokkaido is next. it requires a great deal of resources be ready, which means coordinating them in time to cover the distances involved. The APA used for Formosa and Luzon will be called back, etc.

[BBfanboy]

Great progress. I am somewhat surprised to see Pescadores fall so quickly - I thought he would invest heavily in denying you the shipyard. I guess there is just too much to defend in the area and not enough troops/supply to make it happen.

Are you operating any air campaign in the central Philippines yet?

Have been for a looong time! Keeping everything as far north as Clark shut down. No air assets north of there as far as I know, either. Now more focus on ground strikes to support the assaults.

Pescadores couldn't be defended for long. I think it's clear terrain too. Vulnerable to naval bombardment, isolated. Just impossible, so he put enough there to keep it form being taken on the cheap and, I assume, to keep it operating as long as he had it. I'm pretty sure that destroyers were being repaired there until recently.
