[wild_Willie2]

ok, where to start. This is my first AAR and also my first PBEM (and if my bloody pc did not lock up all the time I would be able to write something grrr)

Take two..

After the pre-emtive strike by my devine KB against the zionistic imperialists, IJN pilots reported not one but 2 !! enemy carriers at pearl harbour. The devine KB pilots, guided by the emperors divine hand struck a mortal blow to the enemy. putting a torpedo and multiple bombs into each of the carriers. The capitalists battleships where also docked in that sespool called " Pearl harbour" and where evenly struck down hard by the devine wind, none of the vile ships was seen sinking but beeing struck down by our mighty samurai they could not have survived...

As my taskforce was not spotted prior to the attack, no retaliatory strikes from PH or the carriers was executed.

long live the emperor................

So my young Spanish opponent thought to hunt my subs outside of pearl, of course they where already gone, but not so their big brothers of the KB.

In a series of attacks the imperial KB sank at least 13 !! imperialistic destroyers without significant loss. LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR.

Another interesting report was made, a taskforce was sighted north of Singapore witch included 2 BB’s 2 CA’s and 5 DD’s……. can this be force Z ?? If so my opponent made a mistake……

[wild_Willie2]

Another GLORYUS day for the KB, one of our heroic submarine commanders spotted a large imperialistic taskforce steaming to the west coast, away from decadent Pearl Harbour. Initial reports suggested a BB, 2 CA and some DD’s. As the KB was just refuelling about 15 hexes NORTH of PH, a divine decision was made. THE IMPERIALSTS MUST BE SUNK.
After a daring al night full speed dash the KB intercepted the filthy Yankee ships about 10 hexes ships east of PH. The result was devastating, unfortunately no BB was present (probably still being pumped dry at Pearl )

Allied Ships,
CL Raleigh, SUNK
CL St. Louis, SUNK
CL Honolulu, SUNK
CL Helena, SUNK
CA Portland, SUNK
CA Chester, SUNK
CA Salt Lake City, SUNK
CA Astoria, SUNK
DD Cummings, SUNK
DD Gridley, SUNK
DD McCall, SUNK
DD Mugford, heavy damage

8 enemy cruisers where intercepted by the imperial cherry blossoms and where send to the abys, never to be seen again, only a single destroyer survived (probably).

The KB will refuel (Again) and head back to the imperial capital.

At the Philippines the invasion is getting started. Most of my troops have gone ashore and a beachhead is firmly established.

[wild_Willie2]

Nothing spectacular to report this turn, bur intelligence spotted 8 more ships returning from pearl to the west coast, what to do , what to do.........

16/12/1941

HONG KONG FALLS, in an all out effort to drive out the white skinned imperialists the armies our divine emperor have again struck a decisive blow to the forces of evil. Our barretted correspondent (see picture below) has the following to say about the event. The imperialists are being burned in their tanks by the thousands, we laugh at their bullets, thy are as easy to defeat as rice paper with a candle, WE WILL WIN, WE WILL WIN WE WILL WIN WE WILL WIN. (so far from our correspondent at the front)

Hmm, at least some action during this turn. The reported ships at pearl harbour, en route to the west coast where “suddenly” gone???. I only found some damaged PH ships from my attack 2 days ago. I attacked them with single KAGA, alas 2 more cruisers into the abyss, maybe now can my fuel hungry carriers finally go home and refuel …..

Went raiding in the Philippines with light forces and bagged myself 2 transports, noticed that I only have lost 2 ships so far, a destroyer at wake (THAT is a surprise !!) and a sub that I parked near Manilla ate a mk 7. Sank 50 allies ships so far (confirmed), but suspect that there are some more losses yet to be confirmed. Also went after the B17's that brigada parked at Cagayan, plan to do some regulair bombing there with my betty's and sally's

ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY FOR THE IJA....

Alore star is CAPTURED, after the imperial guard did arrive, the mere presence and BUSHIDO mentality of the division was enough to make the imperialistic forces of the west melt away like a cherry blossom in the Sahara. further more was an enemy trust towards HANOI brutally counter attacked, leaving nothing but death and destruction in the wake of our valiant forces….
LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR

Victory again for the IJA,

after cunningly luring the forces of darknes (chinese !!) from their recently captured city of nanning to paknoi (see picture) a suprise airborne landing was conducted on abandoned nanning, RECAPTURING the city for the greater glory of the emperor and leaving 36000 chinese troops suddenly cut off from their supplies in paknoi!!! Ready to be slaughterd like the cattle that theigh are (not a vegitarian lover).

Another high profile operation is underway, of with details can only be revealed the next turn........

Long live the emperor!!

19/12

HAI, AGAIN A GLORYUS DAY FOR THE IJA.


The imperialistic forces of evil have been tricked into committing a sepukku move. The enemy sends 3 divisions and 2 base forces to counter attack the forces of the sun in Legaspi. In doing so he left himself vulnerable to a landing in his rear at Naga. Today, imperial paratroopers descended from the heaven like cherry blossoms in a storm at Naga, capturing the empty base and preparing the way for a landing by 2 IJA divisions the next day (see picture). The enemy forces at legaspi are trapped and will be destroyed in the next week. By doing this the enemy is denied 200 assault points in the defence of Manila and clack field……

The now trapped enemy forces at legaspi will be bombarded by capital ships in the mean time to prepare the way for our valiant forces to give them a sword to the gut..
