Click on the unit name. If the unit is scheduled for a subsequent withdrawal, the withdrawal date is given. No date = not withdrawn.

Found one! Thanks, I never saw that before, but never really looked very hard either.[;)] I kept clicking until I found one.

[Lowpe]

Okay, TrueBelievers....the morrows turn is sure to have lots of carnage for good or worse.

With a bit of superior planning, courtesy of General Defense HQ and 13th Army Corp HQ Wenchow might fall quicker than I have ever taken it before. Leadership counts...

But that is not all the action...carriers are turning into the wind; Zeroes are flying a hideous long distance for some fireworks; will the Rooskies close the Kotou pocket trapping 4 IJA divisions; what of the Allied counter attack in Sumatra; the Japanese invasion of Sakhalin; the burning baby carrier; subs galore; I could go on and on and on.

There will be blood in the pixels. Nothing and nowhere is safe...as cargo ships burn from LA to the Straits of Malacca...oh, the horror of a world at war (and not even scenario 2).[;)]

Light Bomber reinforcements...unfortunately, I know of no way on figuring out if the group later withdraws or expands. I guess I will have to wait.

The red units should arrive at Tokyo ...

I know, but it is something on the order of a month delay.

You have until 1944 to retake the base! [:D][:D][:D]

It is not outside the realm of possibility. So don't laugh so hard.[;)]

I suspect the Soviets will go all out with naval attacks in and around Sakhalin with plenty of ground air attacks too.

I don't know where he can launch torpedoes from, but if he planned it out well he will launch torps from the farthest base at high or low altitude hoping to get thru a weakened CAP from earlier air attacks.

Only no replacements might stop him, which is really doubtful. Another possible strategy is different ranged attacks hoping to catch shipping other than my carriers.

A relatively important day in the war...it might take Obvert a while to flip the turn.

In other news, the damaged Ashigara escaped Georgetown and will arrive in Rangoon shortly. She will be back in fighting trim in 20 days or so, well at least repaired enough to do bombardments.

Edit: the other option is one torpedo strike escorted by all Mig-3...

Lots of Allies subs in the Straits of Malacca, plus these patrol boats.

There will be lots of action today!

[Lowpe]

The Tone returns to the war with a great bombardment at Sakhalin. American infantry presence cannot be confirmed, but American naval planes present.[:@]

[Lowpe]

Combined Dutch, Soviet, America, and British subs are a real threat...

[Lowpe]

Magwe Dogfights starting to turn and favor Japan...innovative new Nate techniques catch the Flying Tigers by surprise.

[Lowpe]

Danger Close...this destroyer squadron has fought patrol boats, subs and now planes. Perfecta!

[Lowpe]

Severe storms in outer Mongolia were playing havoc with a flight of Zeroes...elite pilots who had coaxed their fighters a tremendous distance looking for all things British Bombers. The flight started with 40 planes and was now down to just six....the radio comms had been busy for the last half hour as fuel reached critical.

[Lowpe]

The destroyers must be running low on ammo...

[Lowpe]

Magwe...

[Lowpe]

The destroyer squadron in the Straits is attacked three more times by Allied air, and in the afternoon a few Nates wander over, but are generally ineffective....

Some Kates blunder over Batavia and attack some AVDs but are shredded by a few Allied fighters...

And near Sakhalin....burning baby carrier is really zig and zagging to avoid subs while carrier pilots sortie to destroy more MBR-2.

The anticipated big aerial attack by the Soviets doesn't materialize....imagine that!

[Lowpe]

Wenchow doesn't fall, but forts are now 0 and the defenders greatly disabled for the first time...missed two to one by 80 AV.

[Lowpe]

Japan bombard Singers...counter battery is strong, but we are determined and gaining in strength.

[Lowpe]

Japanese tanks finally show up on the front lines against the dreaded Bear...in heavily wooded terrain no less. Who would have thought that?

[Lowpe]

Russian tanks aren't so tough against Japanese artillery...but they are like grains of sand on the beach.

[Lowpe]

What fate the burning baby carrier, you may ask. Her task force was assaulted by many Soviet subs...all that dodging and weaving...can't be good! Plus they like to burn like bad toast....

[Lowpe]

Da Bears.
