Imperial troops go over to the offensive again at Bataan but are repulsed. Reinforcements get lost and end up not where they are supposed to be. Emperor reported as pissed.

speaking of pissed......the KXII is starting to piss me off with the cat and mouse game it is playing with my asw forces around Singapore harbor....even had the audacity to counter-attack and hit me with a torp! (fortunately a dud)

obviously ASW is broken....I should have sunk the arrogant little bugger by now [:'(] [:D] [:@] [8|]

We will be back in Singapore. it will only take a couple of years more or less [;)]

Defenders in Bataan are heroes (and taking advantage of the new forts there [:D]). I have no hope they gonna resist for long. but i don't care. My goal is to get in mid '42 with Japan more or less as history.

Subs in this mod are deadly. never seen so many attacks

Japanese forces launch a suprise air attack on the primary British naval base of Colombo....catching 3 battleships and a carrier in the harbor. All four are reported ablaze and shrouded in smoke. A followup naval strike catches the merchants as they panic and exit the harbor. Mass carnage reported! BANZAI!

Imperial storm troopers have begun the assault of Mandalay and good progress is reported as of the last two days against stubborn resistance. In the Philippines, less happy news....another assault is repulsed with no reduction of the enemy position. 14th Army HQ has ordered beheadings to commence.

Didn't expect the attack on Colombo. And somehow i didn't see it coming.

On Philippines allied troops are still holding ground to overwhelming odds.

but you shouldn't trust too much your pilots's reports [;)]. a number of transports have been sunk though. and CVL is in bad shape.

lies LIES! [;)]

Mandalay falls with the Commonwealth remenants retreating in disorder towards the border. A 2nd Colombo air raid finishes off the CVL Hermes. Another Yankee DD falls prey to the 6th fleet. Japanese troops prepare for a third assault on the Allied bastion at Bataan.

In spite of Kaiser's light teasing admonishment, [;)], Imperial GHQ is mostly pleased with our progress as of the close of the first month of 1942. The Malayan operation pretty much concluded on schedule (I was shooting for end of month, tops) and 25th Army is currently re-organizing for it's next campaign. Operations in Burma are way ahead of schedule with half the country now under Imperial control and much Allied material destroyed both in the air and on the ground. The Colombo raid has added sea bounty to the tally and should ensure minimal to no interference from the British fleet.

In the Philippines, overall things have gone according to schedule. Granted GHQ was suprised at the failure of the last two offensive thrusts at Bataan but on the plus side, we have the Allies trapped in one last base on the primary island so the end cant be too far away. With this thorn in our backsides eliminated, Phase III should proceed even more rapidly.

In China....Ichi-GO has concluded with the occupation of the three major target anterior Chinese cities and the netting of 100,000 Chinese prisoners of war. The results should ensure Japanese security for the near future on the mainland.

Overall losses have been minimal so far. Our sub campaign has reaped some rewards but overall, the tonnage returns have been a bit of a disapointment.....the inevitable result of fighting a cautious campaign. On the bright side, only 1 sub has been sunk so far after two months of operations.

ASW and sub attacks in this mod are far better than in stock scenario, that's for sure. Subs aren't sitting ducks and actually (never ever seen before) i am forced to pay attention to subs and to use ASW carefully. In all my other games sub/asw was just a non-existent part of the game.

The Raid at Colombo surely wasn't expected. but losses weren't big. BB still in port (but damaged).
Not much i can do in the air in January in India btw.

Too bad you forgot LR CAP from Rangoon on your invasion TF [;)]

Nothing i can do to stop your CV TF raiding around colombo for now. in 6 months it will be another matter, but for now i just can sit and watch.

Nikademus · Post by **Nikademus** » Sat May 14, 2005 7:17 pm

true. I tend to be very leary of using LRCAP, at least as Japanese......it often causes serious op losses which kills my good pilots. This episode may change my mind though. My careless moves continue with this next set of turns. Got burned pretty good off Sumatra. On the bright side, Akyab falls securing another flank in Burma. Also got revenge on the O23 for brazenly sitting in my port hex and torpedoing an AP.

Another bad day for the Sixth Fleet. I-19 misses an opportunity to rid Japan of another DMS but misses. The followup hunt scores critical damage.

On the bright side, the damaged O-24 is hit again and the BB Hyuga is avenged as elements of KB finally hunt down the remenants of the British Eastern Squadron. Observers over the harbor reported that the old BC Repulse suffered a titanic explosion after being hit by several torpedoes in the harbor, the wreck rolled over and sank. Also reported sunk was the modern BB Prince of Wales while the old BB Revenge was critically damaged and reported settling slowly on the harbor mud.

I made a big mistake that ended up with me losing 2 BB and 1 BC.

I wrongly assumed i would have had 2-3 days of time to evacuate Colombo from the CV sighting day.
However, i didn't sight any CV till the day i got the attack (or maybe the day before but we are playing 2 days/turn and i should have known). Result: i lost 2 BB, 1 BC, 1 CVL and some AK.

My naval assets in the theater are now few. This means Japan will be free to use all his naval power in the pacific without fearing anything in Indian Ocean.

The unlucky part is: when Colombo got bombed, my BB survived and were able (thanks to bad whether) to run to Diamond Harbour unseen.
When Japan CV TF approached Diamond Harbour to finish the job, i had rightly predicted the hex Nikademus would have moved the TF (it was the only one which would have given him 4 hex range to both ports).
But didn't have the courage to send there my BB fleet in the hope to catch in a naval battle the CV fleet.
Had i more courage, i would have got a naval battle with his CV fleet [:@]. i would have lost my BB anyway, but maybe i could have landed some hits on the CV..and surely i would have scared Nikademus [:D]

In Java i moved many air assets. You will have to bring some serous airpower for the invasion.
