[Lowpe]

There aren't many days when you get reinforcements like this!

[Lowpe]

Midway...

It's so fun when all of those start to add in and your defensive edge hasn't yet been completely shattered.

Marianas? DEI? New Guinea?

[Lokasenna]

Cautiously? 10+ "CLs"?

Erik,

no idea what you wanted to say. [:D]

But I agree, not many days at all as IJ where you see units like that come in play. Enjoy!!!

[Lowpe]

No turn till Friday more adventures for Jocke. I have the turn...but I am not sure how much time I will spend on it.

[Lowpe]

George, wonderful George

Haha. Auto correct is not my friend.

I am agreeing its great when those days happen, and asking where he's going to send them!?! [:D]

[Lowpe]

The bulk of them are going to the SRA, one to Sakhalin...[:)]

[Lowpe]

I finished the turn off and sent it to the absent Jocke...

the next day will see the first combat flight of the Frank R...albeit in small numbers but along with Frank A and Jacks. Can't wait to get the Georges to the front.

I am sending quite a few ships back for upgrades....I can always reverse course should the Allied threat from Darwin emerge.

Big deliberate attack going on in Burma...

[Lowpe]

Nov 16, 1943

Frank R makes their appearance, in small numbers, over the troops in the central Burma plains. There are no raids in the morning from weather, but in the afternoon, only Hurricanes and some P40s fly sweeps while Japanese bombers hit the Allied troops prior to a general assault.

[Lowpe]

Don't really get a good roll, and only a 1-2 attack but overall a decent attack...and we shall see if the Allied bombers come back again on the morrow.

[Lowpe]

Good day in the air...

How many months of vacation do they get over in Europe?
When can we make American Vacations great again?

[Lowpe]

I got a note from Jocke, he is driving home from vacation, maybe a turn tomorrow. Anyone remember what is going on, I don't?[;)]

[Canoerebel]

I do.

This has been a fun game, so I (and lots of others) are following closely. We know what's going on. We saw California turn into a nightmare. We wondered if you'd be able to stop the Allies. You have and lots more. Jock is probably spitting nails. Midway and Burma are names that don't bring a smile to his face. What's going to happen next? Your readers are looking forward to your resumption of the game.

P.S. European holidays are something to behold, at least the way Jock manages them.

[witpqs]

I think you were about to re-invade Horrywood. [:'(]

November 19, 1943 (I think)

November of 1943 and the Allies are aggressive on multiple fronts. The Deathstar has just ferried in a ton of units to Darwin, which can't be good, but now will it strike north into the SRA?

Seward is involved in a winter invasion and the Allies seem intent on reinforcing there as well as bombarding and bombing.

Rabaul recently fell to the Australians and Americans.

The Ikoma struggles to make port after being torpedoed twice, while the Kaga is laid up Nagasaki drydock with three torpedo holes.

The Frank R has just started production and seen its first baptism of fire.

And in Burma, huge amounts of troops struggle to maintain and destroy Allied divisions. 10 Allied units are currently cutoff...and Magwe is under siege, but does Japan have enough firepower to actually destroy anything? The Chinese are infiltrating thru the jungle.

The IJA has just managed to release several regiments and brigades of rookie troops, which is what the IJA is mostly made up of having lost 20 divisions in Hollywood.

Everywhere, Japan's rookie troops are hard pressed and overmatched...we need a miracle.[X(]

The IJAAF is hitting the 32nd Yank Div, an Aussie Division and some LRP Brigade here, they are followed by twin engine bombers of the IJAAF. Sally and Helens...they prove very effective and thankfully there is no enemy LRCAP.

[Lowpe]

An Allied tank unit is rushing north to open a hexside to the cutoff Allied divisions and tanks north of Shwebo...what a problem these guys pose.[X(]

[Lowpe]

Just surrender already. For the first time the loss ratio here shifts in Japan's favor.

If these Allied troops would have stayed in Katha, there is no way I could have destroyed them due to the Monsoon limiting supply.

But now, in a misguided attempt at breakout, there is a real chance they will be eliminated.
