Chasing that damn sub that put torpedos into California. She should survive but it would be nice to put that guy under.

Supplies and the 102 are still about 3 days out I just noticed there was a damaged AK slowing the group down so I separated her.
Alaska
Dutch Harbor has been built up rather nicely and will now serve as my main submarine operations depot. I believe Hornet’s CG will be here in a couple of days. At that point I will decide on targets. I wonder how effective naval air is in a blizzard J.
China
Nothing new
Burma
The 7th is resting at Colombo…I haver replaced the unit commander with a firebrand I hope will help their fragile morale. He has a ton and I mean a ton of Air at Rangoon. His drive to India may begin soon, I hope.
Malaya
Singapore claws for life.
DEI
Nothing new here.
Australia
Java has turned the corner and is now southbound for Perth, how she survived his mini carriers….
I replaced the 19th BG (B17) with a more dynamic leader, again hoping to work on that crappy morale.
PM
I can put up 10 P40s today, I changed the commander of the group looking for good results when he comes a bombing.
Noumea
Most of my transports are dropping off in Auckland now, some of them that scattered are headed south to Auckland, where I will reform the 3 groups provide them plenty of destroyer escort and make a run to Noumea. Lesson learned, Xarg is not the AI and will will surprise me from time to time.

My P-40s out of Lanchow shot down 6 of his defending Nates in defense of my Brit bombers going after his ground troops slowling moving north to Lanchow.
He lost a lot of troops in his first major attack on Singapore in weeks....
Beyond that it was another quiet day.

I will lose California before she makes landfall. Dammit. Loaded another taskforce full of combat troops bound for Pearl.
Midway
Midway has been quiet…I have the fortifications up to 6 here.
Pearl Harbor
The 217th Coastal Artillery is boarding ships bound for Canton.
Canton Island
The 102nd RCT is now a day out.
Alaska
Hornet’s battlegroup will dock at Dutch Harbor tomorrow. My new understanding of the Op rules will force me to hold her here while I wait for my Oilers to catch up. They are probably a good 4 or 5 days out.
China
He bombs, I bomb…beyond that not much movement. He is slowly creeping towards Lanchow from two directions….I continue to build up what men and materials I can spare. My honest only hope of holding here is the British airpower (with American fighters) to delay him as much as possible. The 24th fighter group (A) has been feasting on Nates with 33 confirmed kills here.
Burma
The 7th BG (LB30) morale is slowly climbing, unless he makes a radical move of some kind here I will wait until they are between 80 and 90 before I move them back to Dacca.
I transferred AVG to SE Asia today, they have 16 planes left and I would like to rebuild the group. I moved them to Chandpur where SE Asia is headquarters sits. A few days they should start receiving new planes and pilots.
Malaya
He made his first deliberate assault here yesterday reduced the fortress to 6. They have maybe a week of life left. They have lasted well past the historic date though I think that was more him being slow then me being tenacious.
DEI
Realistically I’m just waiting for the invasion to come.
Australia
Various task groups headed north for Gili and PM.
The 19th BG (B17) is up to 52 in morale. Perhaps Col Cole is doing some asskicking of the malcontents.
PM
So I took some C-47s and had them landed elements of the 1st Aussie in Lae today to contest one of Xarguns famous submarine commando raids…They are there to kill the xargunites and then return back to PM. I will use the C-47s to rescue the support troops at Rabaul.
Noumea
Well slowly the mess that Xargun made is reorganizing. The troops that were dropped at Auckland will be reformed and sent to Noumea as was the plan. I was considering sending my carriers east to support possible operations out of Canton Island, and I will do that, but after they make a visit to Auckland and escort the Aks to Noumea…I’m dumb, but I’m not dumb enough to get burned twice the same way.
I have replaced the leader of the 5th BG (B17) which is currently resting in Auckland attempting to regain some (as in any) morale.

RE: 2-27-42
His subs had a good day claiming a couple of troop ships....
Bah his fricken carriers are south of Canton pounding the troop ships. Im truly starting to hate this. Does he ever run out of ammo? ...my carriers are still days behind him and by the time they can catch him he will be well within imperial waters. Im starting to wonder how he keeps catching my troop ships just as if they are about to reach landfall...perhaps I have a spy in my midst.
On the one happy note of the day...I held Lae from his sub commandos.

He launched a huge unescorted raid against PM and it cost him 8 (confirmed) bombers.
He is also showing extreme reach in North Australia, bombing Minesweepers as they were entering the port of Darwin. 2 of them were were sunk.
His 3 Carriers continue to pound away at the troops ships in Canton Island Harbor...hopefully most of the lads got ashore
before all 6 troop ships sank.
It is now march and Singapore continues to hold...excellant.
Of course a new month means new brit useless ship withdrawals, this time a CL and 2 DD.

West Coast
I scuttled the California about 300 miles southwest of Los Angeles. My ASW forces are failing pretty miserably. I am recalling all the west coast ones as soon as they get low on fuel. I will then assign them to individual convoys as they come into port. We will try it that way for awhile.
Midway
Midway remains solid. To take it he would have to commit a huge amount of resources…I don’t see that happening..
Pearl Harbor
The first bit of the Americal division has begun arriving here..
Canton Island
Well I got about 3000 members of the 102nd RCT ashore before he put their transports into the bottom of the harbor. Good for me. The loss of the transports was painful however J...
Alaska
Hornet is here, but I am now pretty clueless what to do with her. Given my new understanding of the fuel rules…I will probably move her south of Dutch Harbor and await my oilers..
China
Im sending my 24th FS (A) out to cover the retreating Chinese troops southwest of Lanchow. He has been bombing the hell out of them and having a free run at them. This should work off some of his morale J.
Burma
The 7th BG (LB30) morale is slowly climbing, up to a big 56.
Malaya
He backed off after and just bombed the troops at Singapore. Amazing, they still hold on. I have given them virtually no support and here we are in march and the Brits are still fighting. The longer they hold here..the longer I hold Burma and the clock is against him.
DEI
I moves some fighters to DEI just in case his Bettys go after the transport ship I have dropping supplies at Leutern.
Australia
I have slid some fighters to Darwin, if he sends his bombers in unescorted again…J well heres hoping.
The 19th BG (B17) is at 52 morale and holding. Perhaps Col Cole isn’t doing so much after all.

My P 40s gave his heavies a nice welcome today. Hopefully he comes back for more.

Well Im halfway to a level 2 airfield and amazed that he has let me keep the place. I have to figure out how to get my P 39s from Noumea to here…without losing them. He is still has half of his carriers unaccounted for.

I've been reading Xargun's AAR for a few days (takes that long to get through it if you come in late!) and started looking at yours today. For obvious reasons, I won't say anything about how your game is going! I did want to say, though, that I like the format of your reports, broken down by theatre. Makes it a lot easier for me to visualize what's happening, especially when I'm reading this instead of doing what I'm paid to do here at the office (hence, no game map in front of me).
3-1-42
Today's Xargunite target over in the Bay of Bengal was Diamond Harbor. He punch a lot of holes in some troop ships that were just arriving...causing a few deaths.
I sent my Wirraways into Kuala Lumpur from Sumantra in the morning phase and they actually got a couple of resource hits.
My guess is his next DEI target is Bali as he hammered the airfield there for a second day.
Today he sent his dive bombers in against the airfield of Canton Island, he smacked some B17s (11th BG) which continue to refuse to fly against his well spotted carriers....ah gotta love the "new" AAF.
Today my P 40s out of Lanchow clamed 7 more of his unescorted bombers south of the city.... His morale must be suffering at this point.
And we cant forget his carriers which pounded the harbor at Canton Island for a 3rd day. All the troops are ashore so at most I will lose AKs and supplies, hurts, but not horrible.
And singapore continues to hold on.

Today's big Xargun target was Bankha, home of the Wirraways which pounded Kuala Lumpur the day before. He sent 101 Heavy bombers against the airfield. Good for him...means Singapore will last that much longer . Beyond that it was a mostly quiet day in the Pacific...the best kind.

4K in troops from the 102nd are ashore. There is one more transport inbound with about 500 troops. I have begun to expand all the facilities here. Once I get the airfield up to 4 or 5 I will move my B17s (11th BG) back and operated against Baker Island. I will continue to move troops into the air and use this as a staging area against Baker.
Alaska
Hornet is south of Dutch Harbor. I staged a commando raid against Paramashiro Jima the northen most Japanese Island and found 4000 support troops there. This is the first of several commando raids I would like to stage out of Dutch Harbor, nothing serious…just irritants. If however he sends large fleet assets towards Dutch Harbor…what a shame if they were caught by Hornet. J.
China
I have moved 5 squadrons of British, American and Chinese heavy bombers to Chungking where they will attack the city of Wuhan. Xargun does not have the city covered with any air defenses…hopefully in the next few days we can make him pay for that.

Well, I've started keeping my own notes in the same way. I've been trying to find some decent system, but when I asked others how they did it back in Pacific War the only responses were "I keep it in my head." That doesn't work in WitP or when you can only play in fits and starts due to real-world commitments.

Today Xargun started off his morning with the bombing of Andaman Island. Largely a waste of bombs given the fact that there are mostly only ground troops here. Maybe he is planning to visit .
His Nells also paid another visit to Timor attempting to Sink the SS Lematang...which if you believe his pilots has been hit so many times in the last few days [;)]
My Wirraways zoomed into Kuala Lumpur today and scored another resource hit.
His forces killed off my commando raid at Paramushiro Jima...

RE: 3-3-42
Have enjoyed reading your side of the fight! Carrier on! [;)]
One question -- I've noticed your concern over low B-17 morale, and I've also noticed you fly them below 6,000 feet on occassion (regularly?). You're aware of the 30 point morale drop for LBs flow below 6,000 with more damaged than operational a/c during resolution phase, right? May be other penalties not listed in the manual too....[X(]
Good Xargun hunting!
One question -- I've noticed your concern over low B-17 morale, and I've also noticed you fly them below 6,000 feet on occassion (regularly?).

I understand I press my bombers too hard. I think what bothers me is that I can move them to safe harbor and watch the morale go down at times. I had the 7th at Calcutta for a period of time until I realized that their morale was...dropping...small stuff like that. No worries though...got myself a couple of good bomber commanders in the cat bird seat and they both intend to do something about all the peaceniks
