RE: 12-22-41
Quiet day. He attacked Wake again with warships. My boys shot the hell out of 2 of his destroyers heavily damaging Hatsusharu. My beasts out of Singapore scored another one against his transports off malaya putting bombs into 2 troop ships. He took Yenen today. Not really a surprise since I was retreating out of the city.
12-23-41
ack, the site crashed on me and I lost my orders. suffice to say not much is happening new.
12-24-41
He spent Christmas eve making major airstrikes against Moulmein, Singapore, and Manilla. That damned mini carrier group attack shipping south of Timor, fortunetly they were all on their way home so there was no material or manpower losses.

West Coast
Fulton did not survive, she sank in port. My convoys continue to slip south to Baja and safely out bound to pearl. Other the Fulton, I hope he is very frustrated with the lack of activity he is seeing (I dont think his glen's are seeing that much either).
Midway
My first bit of supplies should reach Midway via fast Destroyer transport in the next day or so. They will be followed by elements of the 24th infantry division as i begin to reinforce this island against an expected Xargun invasion.
Pearl Harbor
I have formed a task force made up of some of my medium damaged ships (mostly cruisers) and will be sending them to San Francisco via Baja.
Wake
Still no Xargunite ground troops today. He appears to have APs in the area, but no landings. My supply level is down to 25, so its not like the poor bastards trapped here would last very long anyway.
Alaska
Nothing new.
China
some fighting here and there he took an empty homan today, my troops there had withdrawn as I begin to set up the defense of Lanchow. I am hitting Yenan and Wuchow with startegic bombers today, kicking off the start of that campaign.
Burma
His heavy air strikes against moulmein means he is preparing to attack there. I have left the 1st Burma to provide him a speed bump. I have also noticed 4 unknown units in Raheng, which means he may be thrusting north from there soon. I have the 1st and 2nd Burma rifles 12o miles north east on the path...so he will hit a speed bump if he decides to make this is main thrust.
Malaya
Since he has begun to drop bombs on the airfield at Singapore I am shifting all my beasts and fighters north to the airfield at Jorhore Bahru. So I can keep my beasts in area harrassing his shipping.
DEI
Not much new, shifting some air around. He hit Batvia with his battle ships today searching for my martins which are back in Timor.
Australia
I hope Sparrow reaches Timor, his mini me carrier is in the area it should be exciting.
PM
I have enough supplies here for now (over 25K) I will begin to send more troops there as soon as i can get enough political points for headquarters transfers. I think the next to move with be the 1st Aussie brigade. Big enough to slow down any, but the largest invasion, small enough to only cost about 500 points.
Noumea
Needs troops. I'd like to send my New Zealnders, but I dont have enough to convert them and the Aussies I need in PM. Tick Tick...I need more time.
PI
The defense of naga continues. He does not have enough troops to force the issue there. He has moved at least 10 units of Xargunites into Clark AFB, so the siege there is now underway.

A mixed day in the war. On the one hand my beasts paid another visit to his shipping off Malaya hitting four of his transports. On the other hand his surface forces caught for of my transports (empty) off Timor and made holes in the water with them.

Cant you split the kiwi brigade? That way you dont have to wait that long before the first reinforcement arrives in Noumea. I´m playing as allied myself now, just started, si I will face the same problems.

There's a Marine CD unit in one of the islands between Noumea and Canton Island... Forget the name... But I always pick that up right away and ship it to Noumea - not much, but its enough to hold off an attempt with Naval Garrisons...

Its been a couple game days since my last update, sorry about that. The forum ate my posts before i got them up...and I couldnt recall what i had done.
Back to our regularly scheduled programing.
Only major thing lately was Wake finally fell. Good for him. He can hold that rock for a bit. I really didnt enjoy worrying about it. I had a fast transport convoy reach midway today. One of the escorting ships Honolulu hit a mine. Sounds like Xargun has been busy playing the Rob mine game. The convoy will be offloading some members of the 24th...the rest should be ashore in a day or two with a transport group that is right behind them. Fortunetly I choose DMS to carry the soldiers so the swept Midway as they entered the area. I got the bright idea to hit Taan with my B17s in China. They scored, 3 AKs smashed with 500 lb bombs. Not much he can do to bombers at 33000 feet. In other news both Moulmein and Malacca feel. On to my orders.

True I could do that, though I prefer to take the whole brigade. I may do just that however. That field artillary brigade is going to surrender if he drops any commandos there.

True true and I will look at that. I do worry that he will make a grab for Canton or one of the other islands there. Once supplies begin arriving at Pearl (the next couple of days) I intend to build up these islands with some troops and aircraft to somewhat secure the Pearl - Australia route.

West Coast
All's quiet here. No new sub sightings in a while. Either he has given up or I am just really lucky.
Midway
the 24th has arrived off the coast...they are being offloaded currently, I hope I can work fast since Xargun hit the Honolulu with a mine Im sure a carrier is on its way...(I still believe he wants midway badly).
Pearl Harbor
Spotted a sub north of Pearl today...3 destroyers on their way to deal with it. My first resupply convoy should be in the harbor in about a day, maybe 2.
Wake
Is his.
Alaska
I had spotted a CV, BB group here a day or two ago...nothing came of it but I sent a light cruiser and three destroyers from the west coast to investigate. Most likely it was a false sighting.
China
Remains a mess. I have partial units chewing up the country side, but in any main fight he kicks my butt. I have significant airpower in theatre now and continue to hit him strategically at places. My B17s made some nice hits against Taan last turn. Standing them down for a few days to let them recover from the strike. Kweiyang is almost out of supplies and i dont understand it. My lines are wide open everywhere, but I am now airlifting some into the place.
Burma
A small fight between my speedbump (1st Burma) and about 8K of his troops east of Rangoon. A day or two slow down will be nice as I continue to build up the Akyab-Mandalaly line in Operation Raverdave.
Malaya
Mallaca has fallen and the troops fall back towards singapore. I should be able to hold him off for a while there....naturally the best laid plans.
DEI
Not much new, shifting some air around.
Australia
his mini carrier is raising hell of to the Northeast of Broome...killing AKs. This is a real threat. Not to the AKs but to Broome I have about 50 warships in harbor there. If he trys to strike there Im in big trouble...as in Pearl Harbor the sequel sans the romance. I have shifted every fighter I have (about 50 P40s to P26s) and all my bombers (the DEI refugees) In an attempt to protect my warships here and maybe take some shots at his carriers. One hit will send him packing. this could be interesting.

RE: 12-29-41
Well, IM frustrated. After six months of doing nothing more then having my ass kicked as the Americans, even my most conservative attempts at being the allies has led to another disaster. He caught two of my merchant groups southeast of pearl and savaged them. Don't the Jap pilots ever have morale problems. I just don't get it. I can't believe he has maintained sustained combat ops for 3 weeks now with these carriers as much bombing as they have done and still can get 2 decks worth of bombers up to paste me...never mind the system damage his flat tops must have at this point. No doubt I am whining here...but it really pisses me off to go as far as south as I have from the regular supply lines and still get the crap kicked out of me. [:@] Carpe Diem.
He sank at least 4 transports and problem will sink 10 or 12 more south of Pearl. Not a damn thing I can do about it. He also had heavy strikes agaisnt Johore, so I will ahve to retreat my beasts from the area, as they no longer have a safe place to operate from. Beyond that, not much else to report. His mini carriers havent found my warships at Broome, but then again I guess I failed to actually spot him since none of the martins there got into the air against him.

West Coast
No sub sightings...good. Sending convoys into the Jaws of Xargun naval air...bad. I will hold the rest of my convoys or route them further south.
Midway
The 24th is ashore...thankfully. Any invasion of Midway should prove a bit more costly. I will attempt to resupply the place if I can ever get a supply convoy through to pearl.
Pearl Harbor
Well thanks to his two flat tops I will probably also lose arizona and st louis, they are just 120 miles from them part of that big task force I was trying to send to SF full of damage ships. Very frustrating. I guess I should be happy. If he is still screwing around down here looking for shipping then he isnt using his carriers for any major ops. I have broken off Arizona and St Louis from the rest of the task group since they are the slower ships. I have ordered the rest of the group home to pearl...no sense in braving his dive bombers. All my merchant ships will break up into indiviual task forces and make runs singly at pearl. I will not let him consolidate over a large task group. Should be fun...for him. I'm rather hoping that the Arizona will attract all his warplanes and spare all the merchants I have out there...I think I will lose at least 6 more prior to them making safe harbor. Acceptable losses for me, I'd rather not lose the warships though. Its very very hard not to put Saratoga to sea right now
must be conservative.
I have also been forced to order all my ASW forces back to pearl...if he still has two flattops maruanding about no sense in losing ships to them...the subs can wait. Is it 43 yet?
I have also shifted alot of my fighters around. I can bring both the big damaged task force and the untouched supply convoy into fighter escort range by tomorrow. I slid my dauntless bombers to Hilo incase he thinks its a good idea to close on the ships wiht his carriers....if he has react on, maybe I can make him pay for his sins...B17s are also up and ready to rock (though there morale is rather low). Here's hoping.

The great lack of supplies in kwieyang continues to vex me. I will keep trying to fly some in, but if I cant get the supply level up here I will have to abandon it.

Well day one and the 1st Burma speedbump hangs on. I have moved all the DEI level bomber refugees to Calcutta for R and R. Hopefully they will take on replacements and new crews and prep for the big bash in Burma.
Malaya
I have transfered my beasts to Mersing...unbombed so far. Hopefully they can pop some more of his transports.
DEI
Same stuff. He hit Amboina with battleships today, I had already most all my air out of there...so he came up empty. He does have an AP with the group, if he lands troops he will kill 16 damaged B17s..which will hurt.

Well naturally the best laid plans of rob and mice don't work. I divided my walking wounded ships up southeast of pearl hoping his naval jocks would go after the battle wagon and leave the cruisers alone. Of course he hammers the cruisers. The net sum is 2 Cruisers the San Francisco and New Orleans won't make port. The Phoenix blew up and sank. I guess I should be happy. From talking to him, between my P40s and the AAA his kates paid a heavy price. If that is the case, then I will almost...almost happily pay for the loss of his highly trained aircrews for a few easily replaceable warships. He is also bombing the hell out of Naga, and there was some heavy fighting there again this turn. It certainly must be slowing him down given the air assets he has now dedicated to that fight. He does have over 100K in soldiers stacked up at clark, but so far...nothing more then bombarment. Beyond that my submarine forces put a torpedo into an ASW destroyer off wake...that'll learn him.
RE: 12-30-41
Ouch. I assume that red TF in the middle of 11 different allied TF's is his carrier group? That could get....messy.
I would be sorely tempted to take on his carriers if you didn't have 2 out of position down in NZ. If you had 3 CV's to his two, that would be a fight I would take, even early in the war given their location. He is far from port, you are close to port. He is far from LBA, you are inside LBA. The only problem is - does he really only have 2 CV's there? I'm not sure I would split my carriers like that as Japan. It is possible that he didn't split them either, though where he would have them hiding is certainly a question.

I believe he actually has 3 there. I know with some certainly two hit wake...one is headed home for repairs (according to him) from the B17 damage. Either way I have learned the folly of risking my CVs prior to march. They are tucked away safe and sound.

Nothing major to report other then the forum ate another round of my orders ....ah well. More of the same. My baja highway has been discovered by Xargun so I will have to reroute my merchant ships. (He had a sub put some torpedos into my number 5 convoy). Beyond that it was a quiet New Year's eve...as quiet as a war can be that is.

RE: 1-1-42
If it wasnt so funny I think I would cry. So I avoid the evil clutches of his fleet carriers only to have the Arizona torpedoed off Hawaii by a sub my ASW forces can't find. <sigh> At any rate, his carrier birds did finally take a poke at Arizona, 15 bomb hits and 3 torpedo hit later... He shelled Mersing, it appears my beasts may have finally worn out their welcome. By the way...my subs suck....lots of targets...zero hits...that officer who signed off on American torpedoes should of been bounced out of the service.
He finally took Naga...poor bastards...16K troops surrendered to the hands of the Xargunites.
