Assault on Port Moresby
I was expecting you would have taken the base on first attempt too.
May is approaching so i can finally upgrade my english planes and your zero bonus is finally out of the game [:D]
the game is finally entering in his more enjoyable period (mid '42 - late '43). In this period the odds are almost even. Before mid '42 the odds are too much for the Japs (and i played countless of games in that period), after '43 allies have overwhelimng odds as well.

RE: Assault on Port Moresby
Well i guess i'd "partially" agree with the "more enjoyable phase" comment.
While the Japanese edge is now blunted, I am glad to be out of the SRA phase of the game as it is a major administrative pain in the buttocks to pull as Japan without screwing up. Always hate that sense of having to "rush" too. I can actually relax now as i contempate the inevitable crushing return of Allied material...... [X(]

Pearl Harbor Mark II
Imperial GHQ is very displeased with the preformance of the 38th Division's CO. An inquiry may be conducted after the battle is over. At least this time the 38th inflicted greater casualties on their enemy but the defense remains firm despite the odds.
In more heartening news.....KB has thwarted what may have been a budding Allied attempt to damage the Port Morosby invasion force. What might have proven an inconvenience to our timetable has been turned into a major routing of Allied naval power in the Coral sea.....a substantial number of enemy heavy cruisers were all but blasted out of the harbor of Brisbane. Amazingly there was no fighter cover at all!
Admiral Nikamotto's only regret was that there were no enemy carriers present in Brisbane harbor. [:(]

End of April result
April ends and i post my monthly report.
NG
Port Moresby fell just the 1st of May. i really never expected to defend Port Moresby from Japan in April. i would have committed serious land forces only in june. But this would have needed Japan to be slowed in Java and SRA.
As people who read this AAR knows, i failed in the attempt. Depsite my effort in concentrating as much air power as available, Japan took Java on schedule and also inflicted heavy air losses to me in the process.
Burma
It's all quiet here. I can now upgrade all my british squadrons, so i will have enough hurricane to make Nikademus think twice before trying to bomb anything in India.
And in last turns i started to bomb Burma. This will obvioulsy increase month by month as number/quality of my air force in India increases.
It's still May though. This means Japan can still try invasion of India.
China
All quiet there as well. The supply situation, and major loss of troops i had in the battle of Changsha doesn't give me any hope to be able to oblige Japan to commit more troops in China. On the contrary, he can move some divs out of chia to Burma to help defence if he wants.
Pacific
He didn't do any advance after conquering Tarawa and Wake. Baker s still Allied.
In general, his pilot pool is decreasing (just in last 2 days he lost around 60 pilots more or less) so the quality of his pilots should lower to more reasonable levels.
The problem is that he prolly has problems in IJA pilots while IJN is still rich of pilots. This isn't good obviously, as most of the important japanese squadrons belong to IJN.

3/0
Allied ASW vs Japanese sub
2/0
April was a very slow month for ASW.....very little sub activity on either side. Ironcially this left the only sub victims of the month strictly to airpower. I blasted several of Kaiser's subs at Brisbane port while his aircraft from Brisbane hit and damaged two Iboats...one that might founder.
*sightings/attacks + counterattacks where at least 1 escort was present to retaliate after sub attacked target. Hits do not automatically imply a sunken sub.

Japan next move?
Very quiet turn.
Japan is problably preparing for their next move. The question is: where?
I am really curious to see Nikademus next move. I am not sure he knows already if/when/where to hit next [:D].
Personally, when i play Japan in PBEM, this is the point where the starting phase ends and where next plans are still to be made.
I have 2 places where i expect him to invade. or he can also fall back and prepare for defence.

Peaceful turn again
Another quiet turn. Allied Bombers keep pounding Japanese bases in Burma.
Has Japan decided for go on defensive? they surely have their defence perimeter already, included all Guinea. let's see in next 3 weeks what will happen.
Time is against Japan. So if Nik is up to something, he surely won't wait 2 months.
