SW PAC
Rabaul occupied today by the 16. Division. Next turn I begin to unload the support units.
SO PAC
Allied TF bombarded Canton I. and Noumea.
MALAYA
Unloading of troops evacuated from Malacca is proceedings.
Sally bombed Johore Bahru without opposition.
Over Singapore, 42 Zero flying from Palembang met the AVG. Result: 6 P-40B shot down. No losses.
Nell and Betty battled with Tomahawk and shot down one, and destroyed 5 Buffalo and 2 Blenheim. 1 Nell and 2 Betty shot down.
On the ground at Johore Bahru the situation is for now calm.
DEI
17 Lily bombed Batavia afld: 1 Martin destroyed
I sent a strong surface TF, with 6 BB, in the Molucca Sea, to hunt all the allied shipping. First victim: 1 MSW
I spotted CA at Kendari and at Makassar. I go to intercept them. I'm not scared by the dutch airforce there. The BF are not so powerful, so not much a/c at once can attack my TF (I hope so).
PI
3 P-40E vs 2 Zero shot down over Manila. I have to reinforce my fighter force.
At San Marcelino another 3 PT sunk.
CHINA
My attack at Yenan has been repulsed by chinese forces.

Another AK hit by a dutch sub.
My planes started to attack the allied ships in the area.
1 allied ML sunk in Taan! I tried to unload mines in the port. [:-]
I tried a shock attack in J.Bahru with no success. Better to wait reinforcement.
Georgetown has been occupied.
PI
1 more PT sunk.
DEI
The TF Nagato fund and sunk an AK and a PC at large of Kendari.
1 Martin and 2 Hudson shot down while they tried to attack the TF Nagato.
The interesting think is that I spotted the Repulse
He attacked oil plants in Palmebang, scoring 1 hit. My Zero have a lot of work to defend the site.

MALAYA
Allied subs continuing to be very dethfull: 2 more AK sunk.
I've send out some small ASW TF. I hope that they will stop them. I know that I had to do it before, but all the ships were busy.
My Zero on sweep over Singapore didn't met the AVG again.
Some sentai bombers are bombing the ground units marching to Johore Bahru. I hope to slow them down a bit.
DEI
Batavia bombed again. 7 dutch a/c destroyed. 1 Lily shot down.
Baby KB and a/c at Jolo are doing an excellent job: today 3 AK sunk.
The dutch a/c in the Celebes area attacked today the Nagato TF.
I din't find the BC Repulse. Honestly I didn't expected to find it there. I though he was on route to Karachi, together with PoW.
But now, if it is no more around the Celebes, it's maybe on route again to Singapore.
My convoys are in danger. I have to organize the defense.
But I want to continue the search for allied merchant ships in the Celebes zone for now.
I spotted several TF south of Kendari, in the Banda Sea. I have to decide were to hunt.
Continuing searching for Repulse or sink merchant ships?
PI
He attacked my ships at San Marcelino with P-40E, scoring 1 bomb hit on an AP and on the DD Tomozuru, damaging it seriously.
I0m sending reinforcement to Tacloban, coming from Mindanao.
SW PAC
1 AP hit at Lae, and 1 Zero shot down, against the Oz planes. (none of them shot down [:@])

SO PAC
One of my sub scored 1 hit on 1 AK, near the Fijis
MALAYA
Another 2 AK torpedoed by allied sub. It's incredible how they are efficient.
I captured Kuantan.
I realized now definitely that the decision to land in Johore Bahru the first day was a bad one. Now I have to solve the problem.
I attached the sit map of the Malaya.
I have more than 40'000 men at Johore Bahru, with another 37'000 coming from Georgetown and Khota Bharu. I have the 21. Mix Bde at Kompong Son ready to be transferred and other reinforcement on their way to Johore.
Chuck has around 42'000 men in Johore and 4 more units coming down from Malacca.
The options are:
1) wait the reinforcement already present in Malaya without sending the 21. Mix Bde
2) send also the 21. to Johore Bahru
3) evacuate (again) Johore and march to Malacca to encounter the northern forces.
Suggestion are welcomed guys.
DEI
4 dutch fighters destroyed on the ground at Batavia. Only 7 Lily damaged on my side.
Tomorrow I'll substitute the Kate and Jean onboard the baby-KB with Val coming from Japan. In a few days I'll do the same with Claude and Zero.
The TF Nagato is near Lautern. There is a lot of naval traffic around Timor. This is why I sent the TF there. Most of the allied player reinforce Timor to slow down the advance of the Japan. I want to avoid this. I know that the risk for my BB is high, but the speed in this game is everything. It doesn't matter if I miss one or two BB in 1943. In 1943 I must win.
PI
27 Val took off without my orders to bomb Clark. They were only on transit and they had the order to naval attack. Why they attacked an airfield??? [:@][:@][:@] 11 were shot down!

The massacre of my merch ships by the hand of the allied subs is continuing.
Today 1 Ak (2 torp) sunk, and 1 AP.
At Kuantan the TF Kongo sunk 1 MSW and 2 PC that tried to attack my merch vessels.
Small night naval battle in the Malacca strait, between 2 my DD and 5 enemy PTM tying to raid in Johore Bahru. The DD Shirakumo took 1 torpedo and is badly damaged; 1 PTM sunk.
The Vildebeest returned to Johore Afld and my bombers returned too: 3 Beest destroyed.

Clark Field hit hardly by 93 bombers, escorted by 41 Zero. No losses, but the P-40 were not presents.
My troops occupied Tacloban.

The CS Chiyoda, damaged yesterday during the surf battle, hit again by 2 bombs.
BB Nagato hit by 1 bomb at Lautern. No damage. The TF reached the destination and BB PoW and BC Repulse were there to wait for. Good. Chuck loves the capital ships battle. [;)]
Anyway the results are not impressive: 1 hit on Repulse that destroyed a 5 pdr gun, 4 hits on DD Electra (1 below deck) and 1 on DD Hatsukaze (below deck).
The allied TF had only 1 BB, 1 BC, the CL Dragon and 4 DD. I suppose the other ships were gone to refuel.
With 6 BB, 1 CA, 1 CL and 3 DD I expected more results.
CHINA
The 33. division has arrived at Wenchow. Now some days to rest and to bombard the site and then the assault.

The ASW TF started to operate in the area. I hope this will help my navy.
I destroyed 3 Vildebeest that find refuge to Victoria Point
2 more destroyed at J.Bahru, but AVG was present and I lost 1 Oscar and 2 Sally.
The 5. Division is marching to Kuala Lumpur, reached already by a mortar bn that cannot attack.

I have one small TF approaching Palmyra to invade. It is 2 hexes away and tomorrow I begin to land, but Boston are presents, I don't know if I'll reach the objective. I hope that the 2 DD as escort will be enough.
If the operation will have succes, fine, if not, it's not a problem.
I have 1 AK one day from Canton with vital supply but I spotted 2 SS there. [X(]
DEI
CS Chiyoda has been hit by almost 15 bombs or more. Deadly hit by a surf TF leaded by CA Houston off Amboina. Sys dam 99. She will sunk tomorrow.
No other TF encountered by the TF Nagato. It's time to go back to refuel. I hoped for best result during this cruisin, but that's war.

San Jose is captured.
In Luzon I spotted 2 allied ground units N of Clark. Intel said 177 AFV and no INF. [&:] What is trying to do? I don't think he will move to San Marcelino or Lingayen. There are plenty of jap ground units. The only possibility is that he moves to Tuguegarao. I really don't know why but I begin to know him, and I know that he's trying to slow me in all the possible way. I have no troops there, so I have to hurry there with the nearest convoy with troops on board. The other possibility is to transport there the 2nd Para Rgt from Kiungshan. The nearest convoy is days away.
On the south he retreated from Legaspi. Why? One more shock attack and now my troops were in the sea. I really not understand. Anyway better for me. Reinforcement are started to land today.

At Hong Kong my troops didn't shock attack. I don't know why.

I can restart the operation in the south, suspended because the presence of an enemy surf TF. The TF is alway there, she bombed my troops at Noumea this night, but the KB is only two days away and will protect the landings in Lunga, Luganville and the reinforcement in Noumea.
I lost the allied CV. Maybe they turned back to go to the Pacific. I've set to ASW the Mavis chutai. I hope they will help.

I like your AAR, but I cant give you suggestions because I'm biased and furthermore I'm reading your opponents AAR also. Anyway I wish you luck it seems to me that you lost some ground in the beginning, but you can still make it up. [:)]
The Val's on Naval attack probably had AF attack as secondary command set. I experience this all the time in my games, but havent noticed yet were it comes from. My guess is if they come from Training to Naval the secondary command gets enabled with the AF attack nonsense... got to check this.
If you gained knowledge through the forum, why not putting it into the AE wiki?

2 of my DD sunk a PTM off Singapore.

Over Palembans I shot down 3 B-17 but they scored 23 hits on the oil plants. I'll reinforce the Zero defense there.
CS Chiyoda sunk today.
14 Martin and 3 Hudson attacked the TF Nagato on the way to refuel. No hit.
PI
I attacked Manila today with 53 Nell and 42 Betty, escorted by 41 Zero. The CAP was formed by only 13 P-40E, anyway I lost 1 Zero and 5 Nell, and I shot down 3 P-40E.
The para that arrived at Tugueguarao were usefull. They have been attacked by the 2 tank bn that I spotted yesterday. They moved fast! Tugueguarao is in allied hand again. Never mind, it's not so important. I will take care of this base later.
CEN PAC
At Palmyra ma TF, only 1 hex from the landing, has been attacked by enemy aircraft coming from a CV. This is the third CV of the US. I know that the other 2 were on the south, days ago and it's impossible that they navigate so far.
Anyway my TF is definitely lost: 3 DD, 1 AP and 1 AK.
Never mind, I'll concentrate on other objective.
SOUTH PAC
An enemy TF bombarded again Noumea.
Finally I have a good news from the Pacific. The KB spotted a surface TF just north of Espiritu Santu. This is really a surpise. What was doing the TF there? Waiting for my invasion forces? That's a bit strange. Stay there without air cover.
Anyway, tha TF was formed by:
CA Pensacola: hit by 18 bombs and 5 torpedos; sunk
CL Leander: hit by 13 bombs and 2 torpedo;
CL Achilles: hit by 6 bombs and 5 torpedos; sunk
Only 1 Kate lost.
I'm pretty sure that now the TF that bombarded Noumea will run away as fast as possible.
Now, with KB there, I can proceed with my plans.

I'm scared by the two Armd Bn at Tugueguarao. If they go to Aparri, it will be a disaster. I have no inf units there and I'm sendind quick the Shuzuan Inf.
By now I'm trying to delay him with a shock attack of my courageous para.

Big air battle over Manila.
I attacked the afld with 47 Nell, 38 Betty, escorted by 21 Zero. The allied CAP was formed by 29 P-40.
I've lost 3 Nell, 6 Betty and 1 Zero; 3 P-40E shot down and 1 Catalina destroyed.
4. Inf Division, on march toward Manila, has been attacked by some Blenheim. [X(]
I have to tell it: Chuck is plenty of surprise.
I'm scared by the two Armd Bn at Tugueguarao. If they go to Aparri, it will be a disaster. I have no inf units there and I'm sendind quick the Shuzuan Inf.
By now I'm trying to delay him with a shock attack of my courageous para.
CENT PAC
1 SS I-17, damaged in the past days, sunk today.
The rest of the TF destined to Palmyra has been destroyed. The ships didn't reach the destination. I don't know why, but he TF diverged from the route and headed for a position S of Palmyra. [&:]
An important AK with supply for Canton I. arrived today to unload.
DEI
The 56. Inf Bde started to land at Menado. The cover is assured by the baby-KB. The coastal guns caused over 600 casualties.
SOUTH PAC
CL Leander hit and sunk while he was trying to reach a safe port.

Battle Rep of 12/25/41
It's Christmas day for the western powers.
DEI
At Manado the TF Nagato, en route to the replenishment, bombarded the base. 339 dutch casualties.
My troops attacked and occupied the base, destroying 5 Martin 139, 3 Brewster 339 and 3 Demon. Not so much for me, but they are very precious for the dutch.
Now I'll keep the 56. Bde there for a while. I cannot trust on Chuck. [:-] If I leave and I place only one B.F. to manage the afld, I'm sure he will come back.
So I'll transfer there another inf unit from Mindanao.
BORNEO
After the big problems in Malaya, that took all my attention, it's time to continue with invasion. Some Inf units will be sent in various point of the big island to install important airfield.
MALAYA
Vildebeest are back in Singapore. They placed 1 torpedo on BB Haruna and 2 Torpedo on DD Akatsuki.
Another losses, probably, (the DD is at 88 flt) but it's what I have to pay for a bad plan. The warships have to take the allied hit, to leave the transport ships intact with the precious reinforcements on board. BB Haruna is at an incredible 2 sys damage after that torpedo.
One of my AK, damaged yesterday, sunk today.
PI
The 2 tank bn at Tugueguarao are pushing towards Aparri, as I said yesterday, but my para of 2. Rgt are doing an excellent job to delay them. At Aparri I landed today the Shuzuan Rgt. This should be sufficient to repulse an attack.
SOU PAC
In the south my invasion TF are sailing towards their respective objective, covered by the KB.

Battle Rep of 12/26/41
MALAYA
Another AK torpedoed and sunk. The SS hit by 1 DC. At least my escorts do something.
5 Nell shot down over Singapore, all by the Maj. Boyington [X(]
At Johore I have 45K troops and Chuck 30K. After all I should survive.
Now I will land the reinforcement at Mersing and no more at Johore. They will march until there.
SW PAC
I started to land troops at Lunga.
The invasion fleet of Luganville is two days away.
I've detected a small enemy TF W of Noumea. I'll send KB souht to check it out.
PI
I transferred troops to Ormoc, to continue with the occupation of the PI. Chuck has a lot of troops there and it won't be easy.
Manila afld has been hit hard, but I lost 3 Nell.
The 2 Arm Bn tried a shock attack agains Aparri with 150 tanks and AFV but the Shuzuan Inf repulsed it. 10 tanks and AFV destroyed.
At Tugueguarao the 2. para rgt conquered the base again. The 2 US Armd Bn were at Aparri and left Tugueguarao so I could occupy it easily.
My troops arrived at Clark Field. I start the bombardement today.
DEI
The TF Nagato is en route to Palau to refuel. The baby-KB is in Davao for the same purpose.
I'm loading BF for Manado. I want to start the air operation there asap.
SOUTH PAC
I spotted a big enemy TF, with 3 CA, moving west. I suppose this is the carrier TF that attacked my ships at Palmyra until yesterday.
It could raid Canton or Tarawa. I have to find some air squadron to reinforce them, but they are too far away and they will not reach the base on time I think. Anyway I'll try. At the moment I have 27 Nell, but the is an afld size 3, I don't know if they will fly.

Battle Rep of 1/1/42
This is the first day of 1942. December went not good for Japan. Too many losses, and only some success.
I tried something different than in the other games, but this proved to be a mistake.
Now I have to re-plan the whole campaign, because I cannot affort the same rate of losses.
PI
Strong air raid against Manila. 8 bombers damaged and 4 P-40E, 1 PBY and 1 Blenheim destroyed.
At Aparri the two US armd bn resisted to my shock attack.
BURMA
B-17 bombed my troops marching trough the jungle, near Moulmein. 177 deads.
DEI
One of my AP bombed near Sorong, but my troops conquered the base.
My Sally bombed 1 AK near Bankha.
SW PAC
One AK hit one mine near Noumea.
Finally my infantry arrived at Lunga and conquered the base. Now the construction of the afld can begin.
CHINA
I tried a shock attack against Hong Kong without success. No problem. I'll take my time.
The situation is not going fast as I hoped. I have a lot to plan. Later I'll post what will be my future objective.
