SPrior vs EUB - straightening the banana

[sprior]

India/Burma

He's getting cocky now. Small surface TF noses into Rangoon and sinks a lone AP. Betties redeployed up to Bangkok to make him pay if he tries it again.

China
Lots of bombers bombing airfields in NE China to force him to burn supplies repairing them. Still going on!

Marshalls/Carolinas
Quiet

Solomons/New Britain/NG
Counter-Attack at PM fails miserably but he's pulled all his supply ships away, Americal are on theor own for a while ans quite badly beat-up after their landings...

DEI
Assault TF closes in on Bali, should be there by 2/21. It's going to smart!

Another 2 allied boats go down this turn. he's lost 6 in the last week.

Kudos for counter attacking, if you take Bali back that will be a significant achievement, certainly more than Japan was ever able to do in the real war.

Assault troops ashore. Time for a little reorganisation before the attack goes in. Light allied air attacks score no hits.

[sprior]

Thanks Tom. I got a little over-ambitious in Ceylon and am re-building the divisions involved. My fighters don't have the best experience levels in the world but his invasion of Bali was expensive. We gutted 2 US CVs (99% damage) and we won't see them for a while. If there was any justice in the world they'd be homes for the fishes by now.. In the same attacks we swept everything off the upper decks ov 2 RN CVs. Looks like his current carriers are too chicken to intervene now.

Allies assault Borneo!

Since my last AAR PM fell but 2 Brigades ripped the guts out of at least 3 allied divisions and various hangers-on. Now these casualties too means the allied navies really need some time off for repairs!
