Sorry for the delay - I was out on travel and training for a bit.
Movie Phase 16 DEC 41
I clear mines from Hong Kong.
Davao falls.
Michael's Dutch subs get an xAK near Soc Trang and my RO-64 taps an allied one near Tandjoengselor.
Michael gets a bombing run in on Shanghai with a few DB-3M and Blenheim and hit one of my xAK with a bomb.
I kill one of his subs, the SS KX, near Miri. I'm doing very well against the allied subs, which is really cool since I don't think I've ever done well against the Dutch subs. This is #2 that I've sunk and I'm only about a week into the war.
Near Dadjangas I had an ACTF with a few AG of fighters flying CAP over my ships at Davao. One of Michael's Dutch subs, the KVIII, puts a torpedo into the flank of the CVL Ryujo. Fortunately the damage is minimal - 16-SYS 19-FLT 2-FIRE.
In Malaya I capture Georgetown.
At Ichang, China, my 34th Division is forced out. The 13th RGC Temp Division had just marched into the base but was still in movement. I was kinda hoping to get them settled into combat mode before Michael's next attack but I was a day short. So he has 7 Chinese Corps at Ichang and it looks like another three units are in the woods just north of Ichang. That's a good out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere place for all those LCU.
Orders Phase 17 DEC 41
Spotlight China:
The 70th Sentai, an AG of 42 Nate from Manchukuo, has had their HQ switched to the 3rd Air Division and they've moved to Port Arthur on their way to Shanghai. I kinda wanna provide a little CAP after Michael's last bombing run of Shanghai's port.
The 19th Division arrives at Wenchow and I put them into a bombardment mission. I only see two enemy LCU @ Wenchow so I want to identify them. The 15th Division is at Shaohing and marching to Wenchow.
The 17th and 39th Divisions are moving to Chuhsien to get an attack in. I see two enemy LCU there and at least one of them is in movement phase.
The 11th Ind. Mixed Brigade from Nanchang is moving to Shanghai to form the 60th Division.
The 1st Garrison Unit and the 1st RGC Division from Nanking are moving to Hangchow and will serve as garrison units, which will free up the 22nd Division for driving towards Liuchow.
The 104th Division that recently took part in the capture of Hong Kong, is now moving north to attack Wuchow. Wuchow has 4 enemy LCU there and I can see another 6 enemy LCU Kukong that look to be moving towards Wuchow.
The 4th Ind. Mixed Regiment from Lang Son are moving to capture Pakhoi.
The 2nd Ind. Mixed Brigade @ Paotow is moving north as I plan to capture those North-China bases. Why? Just because I can.
