RE: History repeats itself, almost
It is a thing of wonder .. 6 tf.s or is it 7? and maybe 25 cv cvl cve with a wopping 1000PLUS planes and several more carriers tfs's on the perrifery to thwart any new advances z may be planning.... remember last month he raided all the way to truk
I have apx 35% of my naval air cv/cvl/cve in port or on the edges.. JUST TOO MUCH!
nice to have some good fleet assets too... several BB's and cA are headed out to damage some non mined bases next the SUMMERLAND ADVENTURES of 1944:
I have reviewed the strategy of attacking Singapore/ Maly and PI.. and now have a new plan... slightly more ambitious

Z's ships didn't get out in time.. bubble bubble... caught them outside Saigon area... it sure is nice to have an advantage on the seas again..
btw two new cv's are out in the next few days...

RE: History repeats itself, almost
ok, raid didn't work too well against Saigon, the forces split and go creamed.. over 130 tactical air shot down to nill for Z... ok.. time for the heavies

RE: History repeats itself, almost
note .. raid against airfield much better few tactical planes knocked down.. many enemy planes destroyed... bad weather delayed the heavies .. time to reduece the airfield to ruble.. note .. this only kills planes.. not theose pilots.. and he has lots of planes but if I could just kill his experienced pilots! Lots of planes in Singapoere... hopefully Tavoy will fall soon allowing a considerable amount of air power top be directed at Singapore.. Batavia just coming up..

RE: History repeats itself, almost
er death star is ok, when the fighters fly.. the strikes are great when they do not.. Z gets to shoot down lots of avengers
I just moved a considerable force of planes and will strike a new spot.. lets see what happens .. details to fallow....
heavies 250 plus 24's 150 29s and escorts.. 38 and misketos.. they are going to blow one heck of a hole in that place if they all fly

Well his first Kami raid netted some ak's.. against orders my troops took a small base.. note unocupied bases can change ownership... so the long awaited plunge into darkness hass begun... Singapores air units where easily overwhelmed as 400 planes raided initially....
Multiple smaller invasions to seize smaller holdings where triggered by this surprise kami act.. and Three major operations are under plannning... Tavoy of course being the first...
I moved all my imediately available 24 and 29 to Batavia and raided Singapore from there.. it took a long time to build Bat up to a level five...
these air bases have been rendered useless:
Manila Clark Field Siagon Bankok Vic Point Tavoy Singapore and all the PAcific area around Saipain and Ulithi
I am forming a large tf group to raid the home Islands.. might as well see what his kamikasis can do against massed cap

Now that Tavoy has been liberated.. the great push to take Maly is about to begin
Not the above operation MAssive PUSH.. the Liberation of China... well at least a part of China may be right around the corner.. or maybe we will just pretend to leak this type of info so the emperor gets confused!
Regardless no reason at all to not take out those little bases in Borneo and area that where protected by the kami rule.. as in oh well, they are activated anyway... I was surprised to see some troops at Palambang though...

I have three large in place armies.. at Cagyan, Tavoy and Batavia... Each of these will be sent out to liberate and free the opressed .. ok enough of that drivle.. I am thinking PI is a good place to crush some Jap nuts.. those big airbases will help down the line.. we will see.. not sure where to send my Java forces.. maybe into Maly?

RE: History repeats itself, almost
I am taking some smaller bases the southern edge of Borneo.. the Islands near Singaporeand it looks as though that huge Jap army that was defending Tavoy is retreating.. but which way? Vic point or Bankok? my money is on Bankok.. but who knows
as my planes continue to recon PI it looks like Z has well established defenses
and the armada of CV's minus the west coast reserve.. is gathering for a new foroy..sp?.. into the home waters.. lets see some kami action....

Advancing in Borneo are elements of the third NZ and 3 OZdivs.. The JAps seem to be pulling back towards Bankok.. I now hold the hex below Tavoy uncontested, Road to Vicpoint and Gorgetown looks wide open...
I have started operation PI freedom with a mall base being targeted... and am looking for my lost glider units.. I know I loaded them.. hum.... Army Burma.. now will be redesignated Army Maly... Army Java is now my area reserve... and it is HUGE... Army Davao... now getting the push towards its next area of operations... and soon the NAvy will get to play too[&o]
My admirals submited a plan to end the war early and troops and supplies are being sent to build up for a forth army group.. notice Chineese are not included as due to supply constraints they are helpless for major offensive action, Much to the Anger of the reserve army group commander in Java who now is being supplied by KArachi and is playing backup to the armies in the area actually engaging major Jap forces.. it is however taking smaller bases and as such will see alot of movement.. soon few bases outside PI and French Indochina will remain under Jap control... I did bypass Ambonia andKendari.. these are possible area if I gt some more available Oz troops

RE: History repeats itself, almost
The confirmation is in.. almost no troops to the South of my former Burma army.. now advancing out of Tavoy.. I am realizing how strange the values are on bases.. as in Singapore.. which is super valueable is over 2000 pooints to the allies... but I think HK is really low...
Kind of odd... no Kami attacks.. and few bases left in range that are not being siuppressed... a small one hex non atoll base in between PI and Cagyan is the next point of attack.. and I again I tell you readers out there.. SUPPLIES are a KEY!!
It seeems I move several hundred thousand points? tons? and soon they are all gone... darn troops! Borneo will be a cackwalk.. not much resistance their.. the main forcess seem to be in withdrawing towards Bankok.. with Singapore and Palambang as hard points of defenses...

RE: History repeats itself, almost
Vic point was liberated on the morning of June 1 by a daring para drop.. Usmc in cooperation with Far East Command seized this strategic Base... it is reported that over 1000 mines are in the harbor... troops in ships landing near there are dismayed at these mines.. causingthe landings to be made further away from the base..
In other news Troops in the PI arealanded at Taklaban and Ornoc.. and more troops poored into Burma to help overwelm the enemy there.. resistance is light.. but movement along Jungle trails has all but halted the advance againt these forces.. strained sea lift capabilities are being usedd to slowly sealift troops forward here...
At Pearl Harbor a new TF set sail, with TWO brand new Carriers.. these mighty ships carier nearly 100 planes each and set out for a punishing raid against Jap Held bases...
Troops in Oz rallied to be part of fthe offensive and plans are being liad for the inclusion of several reserve Oz front units to play a greater role as there is now threat to Oz and they may be usefull in future plans
My major DeathStar finally is out of port.. so many torp planes where lost... I was having trouble replacing them.. I think as the war continues and the Navy pilot pool is so ineffective.. I will be using more MArine planes on my flattops
Destination for this DS remains classified.. but the Navy has won the arguement in the use of this mighty force and I expect heavy losses, hopefully of the ENEMY![X(]
