[center]After Action Report
for November 20, 1943[/center]
Highlights for Today
1.) A slow day.
2.) El Lobo continues to move ground forces to Formosa. It is doubtful that El Lobo will be able to shove the Allies off Formosa prior to Allied reinforcements scheduled to arrive toward the end of December, 1943. However, on the other hand, the Allies will not be able to shove the Japanese off Formosa any time soon. Accordingly, Formosa will be a hot spot for a lengthy period of time.
3.) El Lobo has retreated all of his ground forces due west of Paoshan into Paoshan. The Allies are marching into Paoshan and continue to march around Paoshan in an effort to either trap the Japanese at Paoshan or encourage them to retreat east prior to being trapped at Paoshan.

Highlight for Today
1.) Captain Haggard gets a Japanese AO near Butuan.

That river crossing was a disaster, you probably have an equal number of AV or less after that. So what is your plan now you have crossed the river and suffered 10% casualties and him 1%?

RE: THE WAR COLLEGE-Rio Bravo (A) v. El Lobo (J)
ORIGINAL: Bif1961
That river crossing was a disaster, you probably have an equal number of AV or less after that. So what is your plan now you have crossed the river and suffered 10% casualties and him 1%?
Bif-
You are correct. Crossing the river into Paoshan cost the Allies a little over 50% of their AV.
However, it could not be helped. The Allies need the airfield at Paoshan. Well over 1,000 Allied aircraft are in Burma waiting to fly to China to shoot down Helens and Sallies and to bomb Japanese forces in China.
My plan (Operation Land Shark) remains unchanged:
1.) The Allies will continue to march east and north to open a supply path to the brave Chinese trapped at Chungking. Note, that Allied forces are moving east to the north and to the south of Paoshan to either trap or force the Japanese from Paoshan.
2.) The Allies will continue to march to interdict Japanese supply paths in China.
3.) The Allies will continue to march southeast to capture Hong Kong to provide the Allies with a Shipyard to repair damaged ships.
4.) The Allies will continue to march east to capture all of China, Manchukuo, and Korea.
Below is a map of China showing the Allied advance as of November 27, 1943.

Highlight for Today
1.) The last of the ground forces earmarked for the Allied return to Formosa are loading on transports at San Francisco. The rest of the ground forces earmarked for Formosa are either at the Marianas Island or are in route thereto.
2.) The last of the land based aircraft earmarked for the Allied return to Formosa will commence boarding transports at Pearl Harbor tomorrow. The rest of the land-based aircraft earmarked for the Return to Formosa are either at the Marianas Islands or in route thereto.
3.) The last of the Allied Carriers and Surface Combat Ships will complete their upgrades at Alameda, Mare Island, and Los Angeles on December 2, 1943 and will leave the U.S. West Coast to join the balance of the Combat Ships at Pearl Harbor, steam to the Marianas Islands, and escort the transports for the Allied return to Formosa.
4.) Although the Allies have over 1,000,000 supply and over 100,000 fuel located at Amoy (China), Pescadores, and Formosa, the Allies will be returning to Formosa with an additional approximate 1,000,000 supply and approximately 400,000 fuel. The bulk of this additional supply and fuel is already at the Marianas Islands or in route thereto.
5.) It is anticipated that everything returning to Formosa will be at the Marianas Islands on or about December 15, 1943. When everything has arrived at the Marianas Islands for the return to Formosa Captain Haggard and I will assign a name for the operation to return to Formosa and I will provide a detailed list regarding the compliment of all ships, ground forces, aircraft, supply, and fuel that will leave the Marianas Islands for Formosa.
6.) The Fleet returning to Formosa will move at 14 knots and will take six days to get to Takao (Formosa) from the Marianas Islands.
7.) If, while in route to the return to Formosa, the Allies spot Japanese Aircraft Carriers, the Allied Aircraft Carrier and several Surface Combat Task Forces will break away from the Fleet and head directly toward the Japanese Aircraft Carriers.

Month End Report
December 1, 1943[/center]
Opening Note
Although, at the outset, El Lobo and I agreed that we would not play for Victory Points, monitoring the Victory Points does serve a purpose for me as it helps me gauge the progression of the war.

Allies: 26,126
Japan leads by 7,134 Victory Points.
December 1, 1943 Victory Points

Allies: 27,391
Japan leads by 6,651 Victory Points
Net Victory Point Gains for December, 1943

Month End Report
December 1, 1943[/center]
Opening Note
During the month of December, 1943, the vast majority of the combat action took place within the vicinity of Formosa.
The Marianas Islands
1.) The Allies hold and firmly control seven of the eight Marianas Islands.
2.) The Allies own and control the sky above the Marianas Islands.
3.) Japan owns Pagan, however the Japanese troops are starving; the airbase has 90 damage; and the port has 100 damage.
4.) In reference to Combat Action; the Marianas Islands were quiet during the month of November, 1943.
Burma
1.) The Allies hold and firmly control every base in Burma from Moulmein north.
2.) The Allies own and control the sky above Burma.
3.) All Allied units in Burma are fully supplied and Rangoon has over 230,000 supply.
4.) El Lobo has approximately 6,500 AV at Moulmein, but has been stopped cold as just in Moulmein the Allies have over 3,500 AV and sit behind a level 6 fort. The Allies are moving in an attempt to surround and trap the Japanese units at Moulmein.
5.) In reference to Combat Action; the Allies repeatedly and continuously bomb the Japanese troops at Moulmein; otherwise there has not been any Combat Action in Burma during the month of November, 1943.
China
1.) Japan owns and controls the sky over china. However, the Allies now have 2 fighter squadrons, 12 heavy bomber squadrons, and 7 supply transport squadrons in China. 4 bomber squadrons are located at Kukong, 4 bomber squadrons are located at Kanhsien, and 4 bomber squadrons are located at Amoy. Amoy also has the 2 fighter squadrons and 7 supply transport squadrons.
2.) Japan rarely bombed Chungking during the month of December, 1943.
3.) In the north, El Lobo continues to trap the Chinese at Chungking. The Chinese have over 6,500 AV at Chungking behind a level 4 fort; they are down to sling shots and the rock pile is rapidly dwindling. El Lobo has approximately 6,000 AV in Chungking. Due to the severe lack of supply at Chungking, it remains anyone's guess whether the Chinese will be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive along with tons of sorely needed supply.
4.) In the west, the Allies have pushed the Japanese to retreat into Paoshan and the Allies have marched into Paoshan. During the month of December, 1943, the Allies suffered substantial losses crossing the river into Paoshan. Presently, Japans has 3,145 AV in Paoshan and the Allies have 1,532 AV in Paoshan. Though Allied artillery pounds the Japanese ever day, for now, El Lobo has successfully halted the Allied advance from the west at Paoshan. The Allied troops in Paoshan are recovering quickly; Allied forces are marching round Paoshan to the north and to the south; and additional Allied forces are marching from Lashio toward Paoshan. By the end of December, 1943, the Allies will have over 8,000 AV within the vicinity of Paoshan. The Chinese have marched out of the Himalayas and have set-up weak blocking forces north of Tsuyung and east of Kunming.
5.) Operation Culpepper Cattle Company (the U.S. Marines Invasion at Amoy) has made steady progress moving north and west in China. The Marines have opened a supply route to all Chinese Forces south of Chungking and east of Kunming. The Chinese have gained strength quickly and outside of Chungking, the Chinese AV has swollen to approximately 8,000. El Lobo has stopped the Marines march north toward Chungking just southwest of Kweiyang.
6.) The Allies hold and control the following bases in China: Chihkiang, Changsha, Shaoyang, Singtang, Changteh, Hengyang, Pingsing, Kukong, Kanhsien, Swatow, Chaochow, Amoy, Tsinnkiang, and Foochow. The Marines have moved into Kweilin and Wuchow, and are marhing on Liuchow.
7.) El Lobo has approximately 13,000 AV in China. The Allies have approximately 20,000 AV in China.
8.) Amoy has well over 400,000 supply.
Pescadores
1.) The Allies hold Pescadores with a Calvary Division. The Allies have over 450 AV on Pescadores.
2.) The Allies are fully supplied on Pescadores.
Formosa
1.) Intense naval combat took place during the month of December, 1943 with the Allies sinking well over 75 Japanese transports and heavily damaging at least an equal number of other transports. Air Combat has also been significant with El Lobo primarily owning the sky above Formosa.
2.) Captain Haggard's PT Boats and Submarines have accounted for the bulk of damage inflicted upon the Japanese Navy within the vicinity of Formosa.
3.) El Lobo has definitely made fighting for Formosa his top priority. Japan now has approximately 325,000 troops and approximately 6,000 AV on Formosa. The Allies presently have approximately 2,500 AV on Formosa.
4.) The Allies hold and control Taichu, Kagi, and Takao (fort levels are 4 and 5 and growing rapidly). El Lobo owns and controls Taihoku, Karenko, and Hengchun.
5.) The Allies have over 550,000 supply at Takao.
6.) For now, The Allies will reinforce Formosa with just enough troops to hold Taichu, Kagi, and Takao. The Allies will stuff Formosa with fighters, heavy level bombers, naval attack bombers, and torpedo bombers in an effort to soon control the sky above Formosa and the sea surrounding Formosa. Otherwise, the Allies will use future reinforcements to strike elsewhwere.
The Near Future
1.) The last of the ground forces and aircraft earmarked to reinforce Formosa have left the west coast and Pearl Harbor to join other Formosa earmarked reinforcements at the Marianas Islands. It is anticipated that everything earmarked to reinforce Formoas will be at the Marianas Islands on or about December 20, 1943. It is anticipated that the Allied Fleet with the reinforcements for Formosa will leave the Marianas Islands shortly before year end 1943.
2.) The last of the ground earmarked to invade Talaud-elanden have left Sydney and are in route to The Shortlands. It is anticipated that the Invasion Fleet to invade Talaud-elanden will leave The Shortlands close to the middle of December, 1943.
3.) Slowly but surely, Operation Hangman's Noose (The Naval Blockade of Japan's Mainland) is coming together and is already having a substantial effect on Japan's ability to get resources from the south to Japan. As the noose tightens, Captain Haggard's PT Boats and Submarines become more and more effective at controlling Japanese access to the China and Philippine Seas.
