Darn! But at least it will take the cruisers that need modest yard time.ORIGINAL: BBfanboy

Anybody know for sure if Saigon is considered upriver? In other words, any restriction on the size of ship which can use the port? I would like to rearm battleships there when I get it built up.

Overall
• Strategic points: 11,304
• B-29's reporting ready: 115
• Total B-29's deployed: 201
• +/- VP today: +429
• IJN battleships and carriers not sighted, but battleships were sighted in the Formosa Strait by submarines. This leaves us not knowing which side of the Formosa Strait they will end up on, because they could have reversed course to engage the smaller USN carrier force operating in the South China Sea. Our naval air search does not cover the Formosa Strait.
• A good day for us although tough on our subs again as we lost 2 more today (adding to the 3 we lost yesterday). A further 7 LST sank, 3 of those helped along by 2 IJN submarines.

• The shooting our subs did could have been more accurate. We got a bunch with combined arms.
• The bombardment of Singapore went very well, but I will take measures against the SSX for the next run.
• The surface intercept above was a follow on to the one shown later which was slightly closer to Indochina.
• The failure of the civil government in Buitenzorg to capitulate shows there is some enemy combat strength at Batavia.
• And still they hold this side of the river at Johore Bharu!
• We are rebasing the RN carriers to Java but they will go around Sumatra.
Philippines
• Stubborn they are.
China
• Our subs had a hard day here. The trouble with the sightings, especially in light of yesterday's sightings, is that I cannot tell which direction they were moving.
• One of our two reinforcement units has crossed the river on the road NE of Paoshan.
• Tsuyung airfield is about closed. Raids will continue with the aim of destroying supply for Imperial ground forces in the area.
India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina
• The surface intercept here dashed the hopes many Imperial captains had of escaping to Japan.
• Very few strike aircraft aboard these carries.
• Another river crossing shock attack ex-Saigon tomorrow. Will this destroy the enemy formation completely or will they retreat to Soc Trang for another go?
Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia
• Nighttime stuff.
• We got a small one.
• The first team for ASW.
• 1,635 AV on Daito Shoto. The units are still quite Disrupted, but still recovering well.

Overall
• Strategic points: 11,304
• B-29's reporting ready: 126
• Total B-29's deployed: 201
• +/- VP today: +179
• Enemy battleships and carriers not sighted, whereabouts unknown.
• VP ratio has reached 1.3 to 1.

• Got one here.
• 3rd Air Division deserves kudos for not evaporating or retreating.
• We managed to transfer some DB and TB squadrons to the USN fleet carriers in the South China sea to boost their anti-shipping strikes until they can get back to port and replenish their own squadrons.
• RN fast battleships have rearmed at Soerabaja and will head for Singapore.
• Two DD groups, ASW and Surface Combat, will sweep the waters off Singapore with the aim of clearing the SSX.
• Singapore's airfields are essentially closed at 76% damage. Airfield strikes will continue unabated to reduce supply present and make the runways totally impassable.
• In about 2 days our first troops will enter Batavia; tomorrow amphibious armor will roll into Merak. Son of Krakatoa will soon be in Allied hands.
Philippines
• 14,500 enemy remain, all in 1 units.
• A number of bases on Mindanao will be used as marshalling points for forces preparing to invade the Ryukyus and the Home Islands.
China
• Win some, lose some.
• Two Aus Bdes have crossed into China from Lao Cai and are ready to engage the base force which was expelled from that base.
• Up near Paoshan our two reinforcement units have crossed the river. Luckily the five units there are within stacking limits; they will hold fast while supplies build in Paoshan and other units maneuver.
• Two units crossed the river into the mountains east of paoshan and will spend the next three weeks (2 miles per day!) moving onto the road to the east to cut off the enemy units holding near the river.
• Other Chinese Army units are moving to Paoshan and adjacent road hexes.
• The Aus Bde crossing the river between road ends 4 hexes NW of Nanning is just over halfway across. No sign of enemy opposition so far.
India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina
• Won here too.
Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia
• Nighttime stuff. Win some, lose some.
• Here we have a problem: "estimated altitude 34,514 feet".
• It looks like the remaining units to land on Daito Shoto will be on station in 3 days. If so they could land coincident with an assault on the 4th day from now, however I also want to land a block of supply at the same time. Those LST are loading at Pagan. Also, while most units will probably be ready for an assault by then, there are two units which are still at Disruption 59 and 60.
• Kagoshima and Kanoya recon as having build ups of fighters and bombers, presumably kamikaze. The B-29's will hit those airfields tomorrow. Each will be swept by 2 squadrons of P-51D from Iwo-jima.
• 1,712 AV on Daito Shoto. Disruption still coming down well.

• Two Aus Bdes have crossed into China from Lao Cai and are ready to engage the base force which was expelled from that base.
• Up near Paoshan our two reinforcement units have crossed the river. Luckily the five units there are within stacking limits; they will hold fast while supplies build in Paoshan and other units maneuver.
• Two units crossed the river into the mountains east of paoshan and will spend the next three weeks (2 miles per day!) moving onto the road to the east to cut off the enemy units holding near the river.
• Other Chinese Army units are moving to Paoshan and adjacent road hexes.
• The Aus Bde crossing the river between road ends 4 hexes NW of Nanning is just over halfway across. No sign of enemy opposition so far.

• It looks like the remaining units to land on Daito Shoto will be on station in 3 days. If so they could land coincident with an assault on the 4th day from now, however I also want to land a block of supply at the same time. Those LST are loading at Pagan. Also, while most units will probably be ready for an assault by then, there are two units which are still at Disruption 59 and 60.
• Kagoshima and Kanoya recon as having build ups of fighters and bombers, presumably kamikaze. The B-29's will hit those airfields tomorrow. Each will be swept by 2 squadrons of P-51D from Iwo-jima.
• 1,712 AV on Daito Shoto. Disruption still coming down well.
Complete combat report attached.

• The RN carriers will pass through the Sunda Strait tonight and tomorrow morning.
• It looks like all units will be in place in 5 days for the assault on Batavia.

• One RN CVE is in port at Soerabaja for repairs.
• Despite a few Light Industry hits on Singapore, recon continues to show LI as 4. I thought about switching the 4EB to Heavy Industry, currently 10, but the payoff seems less than just getting some supplies hits with 500 pound bombs and destroying lots of supply that way.
• The USN carriers have offloaded those extra squadrons (1x TB, 3x DB, all USMC) and the DB squadrons will target the port at Cam Ranh Bay which recon every day shows as having a CA.
Philippines
China
• Ouch.
• Now with vastly superior force, a good start at reducing the 55th Infantry Brigade in spite of terrain favorable to the defense.
• Our Bde deep NW of Nanning needs only a couple of days before making the road stub n the other side and still no sign of detection.
• Now 3 enemy units, up from 1, holding the road behind those holding the river crossing near Paoshan.
India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina
• Done.
• There is only one straggler unit in the jungle up near Hanoi.
Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia
• Nighttime stuff. Got one!
• Very good naval bombardments.
• Gunfire support craft took some serious damage.
• Holy crap, I forgot this could happen on a subsequent landing when the attackers artillery was superior. This is a a nuclear counter-bombardment like we saw some of quite a while ago and I completely forgot about them.
• 1,759 AV on Daito Shoto. Disruption is up so the troops will rest, but except for the units which landed today it's not so bad as on D-Day.

China. The advance by the forces near Pakhoi is what I am considering for after they finish reducing the 55th Infantry Brigade, all of the other yellow arrows are movements underway.
