RE: Christmas in Lahaina
Well he took several bases in hawaii, I think I made him pay a price for it. He has one base in the Phillipines and couple south of Rangoon. He also has Nouma and PM and many small bases in the south Pacific and Central Pacific. But he has paid the price for this in losing a fleet carrier and the a small one. I think it is going to hard for him to take singapore and area's around there. However, it will be hard for me to get stuff to Pearl harbor with the nells and Carriers trying to sink everything. I may just have to make attacks behind his line. Also I am not worried about Alaska, who really cares. Move towards the West coast that way. Then I can get more of the West Coast command planes into action. Midway is costing him a lot and I sank a AO and TK there, so less fuel for his ships. I would say he is using a lot of fuel at this point and needs to get mopre oil some where, and since he took palembang I have been city attacking it so he better protect it better or in a short time he will really be hurting for oil. The two days of port attack have really set back all of my navy's and really sunk or damaged bad a lot of subs. Howevr, I think I am getting a long just fine for this happening. Remember his ships have a long way to go to a size 3 or higher port if they get hit.

Hawaii
As Zeta alluded to, the situtation in Hawaii is very fluid. The map below shows all the action taking place. I've got a good sized airfield already up at Lahaina. Hilo is damaged but engineers are currently attempting to fix that. With the blockade in place, one has at wonder how much supply Pearl Harbor will have left in a couple of weeks.
Down in the South Pacific I've taken several bases but at a price. He has a carrier down there acting like the wolf among the sheep. I've sent my own wolf after him but he has disappeared into the forest. The base at Tonga has just been captured and Betties are currently looking for any Allied ships that might be in the area.
The eastern half of the DEI have been taken, providing some oil and resources for later. The dutch having been hitting the oil fields at Balikpapan, a costly loss for me. Nates are being sent to provide some protection. Part two of the DEI invasion plan is now in the preperation stage.
In Southeast Asia I've spread out a bit and setup airfields at Songkhla, Victory Point, and Tavoy. Unlike Hirohito, I haven't totally given up on Malay, Burma, and the PI. To do so would invite a Commonwealth invasion of Siam and Indo-China. Aparri in Luzon is also being built up into a nice sized based.
The situation in China is starting to develop. Both Changsa and Yenan are under seige by huge armies of the IJA. Other bases are busy building up their fortification defenses.

RE: CVL Zuiho Sunk
He finally took Midway, but it became the new "Wake" of the Pacific. I sunk the Zuhllio? around New Zeland and sunk a few more transports around Hawaii. I pretty much figure he will take all of the Islands around Oahu, and try to starve out Pearl Harbour. I am just wondering how much these pushes forward have effect the japanese navy? Also I have a hugh base in his rear to come from the Java and Singapore area to mess things up.

Well, there can be a lot of improvements to this plan. Hopefully Hirohito will work on it. It would of been nice if I could have landed more stuff on Hawaii in the early going. Once the Allied airforce on PH recovers, they are very deadly against shipping. Land-based aircraft are very accurate against ships, if they are flown at the low altitudes. You can see the kind of results land based aircraft get:

Is it just me or are the Japanese troop transports getting shredded? Daytime bombers, PT boats, PBY torpedo attacks at night (nice one BTW Zeta16, I'm gonna have to remember that).

Yes, they are getting beat up pretty bad. My hope is to get the Alaska to New Zealand gateway up quick and start building up the island defenses. After that the transports will be safe.

RE: Japanese losses
Looks to me as if the war will be over by mid 1943. The Japanese have taken a brutal pounding. I see no way for the Japanese navy to recoup its losses in pilots and ships. Every CV they get after day 1 is inferior to the 6 before them.

Ah, the Japanese lost 4 carries at Midway and the war didn't end until 1945.

RE: Japanese losses
True, they just got butchered even worse after Midway every time they confronted the Americans. The Hiryu will took what 10 bomb hits a couple turns ago? In my games that almost spell doom for the Japanese CV's. Or she will be laid up for a LOOOONNNNGGGG while.
Now the Aukland, Noumea move I have studied and find feasible after the DEI is secured or soon to be in hand. But I just have to have more control so 1 day turns for me.

I think by the end of 1943 it won't really matter how many Japanese carriers are left. The Japanese player needs a few just to keep the Allies honest but the Zero is pretty worthless as a carrier fighter by then. The loss of PH is going to be a big set back for the Americans. It means they will have to come at the Japanese from another direction. Likely from somewhere in the South Pacific. That leaves them with a long and dangerous supply route back to the States.
