DEI
Not much Action here exept for Jap Landing in Kuching... but i have a suprise is store to those landing Jap's As Force Z sortied out of Singapore and will pay a Visit to Kuching in one or two day's... Im evacuating Fuel from the foward bases[:)] I plan to Hit and run here with Force Z and ABDA naval squadrons

Burma/Malaya
Japs Landed in Khota Bahru and Probably Singora... i Dispresed all the Planes here to minimize the Damage the Japs can inflict in their Air raid's the Ground forces are beeing relocated to fight the Jap threat[:)]

[Przemcio231]

8-15/XII/1941

Burma/Malaya
As for Burma the front is preatty quiet as im sending Reinforcements to Mulamain and Rangoon... the only set back here was the attack on a Convoy of Rangoon from Bangkok and an AK was sunk but the rest of the ships seafly reached Rangoon. On Malaya japs are still strugeling to take Khota Bahru... but my forces are holding firm... Alor Star has been attacked by 21 Enemy units but as for now my forces are holding and an additional Brigade is rushing to reinforce the position...[:)]

DEI The Japs here sized Kuching and now are landing in Ambonia... ABDA squadron is moveing from Kendari to intercept as for now recon showed only few CL's and DD's defending the Invasion Force and Force Z is not Far behind them[:)]

Phillipines
Willies Troops landed in Force in Lingayen Recon show's 21 units there some trops entered Clark but there are to Few to couse real thret[:)] Jap forces Landing in Naga have been stopped by 3 Phil Div...[:)] But on Mindanao only Cayagan Reamains in US Hands[:(]

Pacific
Hera a tragedy occured After bombing Wake i retired my CV's SE to avoid KB last seen N of Pearl but suddenly my Catalinas in Pearl , Midway and Johnston set themselfs from Patrol to Treaining[:@][:@][:@][:@] and i didn't noticed that until it was too late[:@][:@] and i Lost Lexington[:(][:(][:(] it turned out that we are playing different versions of the game and Willie will downgrade his...

[pauk]

such pathetic results on PH is the reason why i start to avoid attack on PH....

[Sneer]

me too
there are easy victories in Dei

[Przemcio231]

come on guy's he sunk Lexington... not in Pearl but near it due to my Recon planes decided to go on treaning all by themselfs... and i think bombing Cavite is the Best choice for KB[:D]

[Nikademus]

losing USN CV's is easy.....i just lost 4. No worries....i'm still a brilliant strategist....all part of the plan....[:D]

[Przemcio231]

Hey Nik are you Spanish Inquisition Fanboy or something???[:D][:D]

[Nikademus]

NOONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!

[Przemcio231]

Yes[:D]

[Zecke]

what happend with the SPANISH INQUISITION[:'(]¡¡¡¡¡

this is goig to be A GREAT AAR TO FOLLOW,, willie is one of the best players of WITP,,[;)] i can tell you[&o]

[Przemcio231]

Whoooo im a begginer demn but im not scared[:D][:D] we had a little pause in the game
as Willie downgraded his WitP to 1.6
15-17/12/1941

Burma/Malaya
Hmmm some supply and troop convoys Reached Rangoon now last one is Aproching... i set Bufflos from Rangoon on LR CAP so let those Nell's show up:[:)]
Plus Willie send Paras to capture Victoria point... my Bufflos will be weaiting for his transport's when they will be back tommorow[:)] On Malaya my troops are still holding Khota Bahru... but i was pushed away from Alor Star[:)] i know Malaya will fall but i want to give Willie Hard time getting them[:)] He Stroke Kuantan with about 200 Sallys and Nell's when he showed up for the secound time AVG flyboys were weaiting for him
Day Air attack on Kuantan , at 24,47

Ki-21 Sally x 151
Ki-48 Lily x 27
Ki-46-II Dinah x 9

Allied aircraft
P-40B Tomahawk x 25

Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-21 Sally: 14 destroyed, 42 damaged
Ki-48 Lily: 10 destroyed, 7 damaged

I didn't lose a single Plane there[:)]

Phillipines Evile Willies troops reached Clark but they are bombed there loosing 100 troops a day[:D] , 3 PA divisions stoped Japs in Naga and are holding Firmly... on Mindanao his making some good progres but i know that my boys there are lost[:(]

DEI A wird Thing Happend ABDA and Force Z were send to intercept Jap forces landing in Ambonia and the didn't hit a single ship there[:(] and in the Morning Battys and Nells from Jolo showed up[:(] putting 4 torps into PoW[:@] She capsized almost instantly[:@] I got about 40 B-17's on Java and another 45 are on their way i will weait till he captures a resource center then i will bomb it to pieces[:D][:D][:D] some Brit Warships from India are send to Java to bust my defences there[:)]

[Przemcio231]

CENTPAC HQ has raported that BB squadron send for repairs to SF has been intercepted by Japanese CV... by the number of planes involved in the attack HQ has guest that the planes came from a single vessel thus it dispathed CV's Enterprise and Saratoga to Intercept... In the Resulting Battle CV Kaga was hit by at least 8 1000lb Bombs and a Torpedo... and then capsized almost instantly[:)] any way HQ knows that probably the rest of the Jap carriers are around but it has decided to take that risk...

On other front's there is relative peace the only significant action is that Japs try to reach their cut off forces in Pakhoi... but are not sucessfoul for now...

[Nikademus]

are you using stock for this game?

[Przemcio231]

hmmm we are using your scen i do not remeber its number thrught... any way from Willies mail i figured out that i may get away with sinking Kaga since her planes didn't hit my CV's a single time and my TF runed away from him[:D]

[Przemcio231]

26/XII/1941

Pacific It looks like i pulled out of this one my CV's are close to SF and all Fighters from the west cost are send to Cap the TF[:)] it may turn out that KB is not around and Kaga was just send for a hit and run Attack[:)] Any way the Price of this Victory was High as BB's Arizona Maryland and Tennesse were Sunk:( today CL Oi hit yesterday sunk[:)] this is the 4th CL sunk during this month...[:)] now im weaiting for Yorktown and then i can start my own Hit and Run attacks as Kaga is the secound Carrier knocked out of the KB as Hiryu was damaged in the fight wil Lex...[:)] Willi has send reinforcements into Rabaul as SSD wasen't sufficent to take the base... i holded him here for over a Week[:)]

Burma/Malaya No action in Burma... Willies Paras in Victoria point were to weak to take the base[:)] but i do not have enough forces to kick him out[:@] In Malaya Jap forces are closeing on Kuala Lumpur and most of my forces are traped in Gorgetown[:@][:@] i woudenr why didn't the run south[:(] any way i think Singapore will be taken in January[:)] All planes from Malya have been send to Burma and India to reast and refit[:)]

DEI Nothing happening here... im kind of suprised after Willie took Ambonia he stoped all operations here... hes probably weaiting for the KB to arrive...[:)]

Philipines Iv holded willies advances in Naga and Clark and lack of bombing here coused that my P-40 squadrons were rebased to Burma and India to Bust my defences there[:)]

China Not much Action willies troops entered Yunan and im working on those Japs cut of in Pakhoi[:D]

[Przemcio231]

26/XII/1941 - 4/I/1942

Burma/Malaya
In Burma we have a lul in the fighting... the japs have a brigade in Rahang and im blocking the way N of Mulemein... Bad weather prevents any missions. But i got some Reinforcements comeing to the Area. Chinese Troops are marching into Lashio plus some Indian and one Brit Div are moveing in. I got over 100 P-40 from AVG and Units evacuated from Phillipines + some Buffalos from Malaya and in a 2 weeks i will have about 50 Hurricanes[:)] + about 30 B-17's + British Blencheims and Australian Buforts so im ready to fight here... In Malaya japs are in Johore and soon begin attacking Singapore... i hope i will be able to hold for a week or two. All the planes from Malaya have been evacuated.

DEI
Nothing happening here[X(] i think Willie is weaiting till he captures sinagpore.

Phillipines
Willie is bombarding Clark and Naga but im Holding just send 2 PA divisions to Clark to bost my defences there[:)] Wille captured almost all Mindanao... no suprises here...[:)]

Pacific
Looks like Rabaul is goeing to fall next turn... he's struglling there for weeks now so my forces did their job allowing my ships to supply PM and send some Base forces there from Australia... soon i will have about 50 P-40 there to cap the place[:D][:D] In other placec im relocating my troops and supply so nothing happening:) but BB Nevada Sunk off Pearl... i do hoped she will make it back... but no worries Kaga was worth it[:)]

China
Japs are attackin Changsha with 180.000 troops and i think i will be able to cut those off and watch them starve to death[:)][:)][:)] my flanking forces are moveing into position and i will use bombardment attack to block willies troops from escaping Changsha[:D][:D][:D][:D] last turn he ordered Deliberate Attack in Changsha... i lost 1,500 troop he lost 10.000 i like that...[:D][:D]

[Przemcio231]

4-21/I/1942

First of All i want to Apologize that this AAR is not updated so often but its hard when you do 5 or more turns a day[:D][:D]

Malaya/Burma
Burma is still quiet as even Jap Air force is not moveing in to bomb my positions... My forces will soon be Reinforced by Lots of Chinise troop wich are now near Lashio my planes are on Standby Ready to Repeal Jap Invasion... As for Malaya... Singapore Fell today[:@][:@] so he control's it all... so i estaminate those troops will now move north on Burma[:D][:D] but im Ready for them[:)]

DEI
Only action here is taking place near Palambang as Willie try's to destroy my PT's there... first he used bettys but after 60 B-17 paid a Visit to Kuching he pulled everything exept for fighters form there... last turn he tryed to attack my PT's with Zeros set on Naval Attack he actually didn't sink a single one and Lost 17 Zeros to my Hawks... it was kind of fun watching it... the DEI has been mostly Evacuated as all transports and almost all warships have been send to Australia...

Phillipines
My forces are still holding Clark and Naga ageainst willie's assalut... Mindanao is all his + some islands in the Archipelago... but no significant is happening here[:)]

China
Complete mess here... he bombs me daily and i do not have Bases where i can put some fighters to cover my ground units... my trap faild and my troops were pushed out of blocking positions... Yenen Fell[:(][:(][:(] i just have no idea how to Defend[:(][:(]

Pacific
Willie finaly took Rabaul[:@] heh it took him over a month to capture it[:D][:D] i got lots of convoys moveing into South Pac Area and im trying to Reinforce PM but the first units are now in Palmaya any way all quiet here[:)]

[Przemcio231]

22-29/I/1942

Burma/Malaya
Only thing that happened here is the Japs taken empty Tavoy... no Air action also... Chinise Reinforcements Arrived at Lachio so now Willie will have a hard time taking Burma... My plan is to deley the Japan to Mandalay and make my Stand there... Air bases in Mandalay and Akayab will soon reach Lvl. 4 so i will move some bombers into those bases i know that Burma will proably fall but i want that the Evile japs would pay high price for taking it[:)] There is olny one Disturbing News... Willie used his scout planes from the submarines to Scout my Bases on Cejlon and in Karachi... he may be up to something like an Invasion... i need to preaper for that possibility... i think i will sacrifice Hermes to run a patrol on the Indian Ocean...

DEI
Willies troops landed and taken Samarinda but no suprise here i knew that will happen... His Planes bombed Palmabang recently but no real damage was inflicted some surface action toke place near Palambang but it was just sinking of my Pt boats any way my fleet has been evacuated out of the Area... i see some subs in the area but nothing serius is happening for now...

Pacific
Willie is busy taking bases North of Rabaul like Keving and such plus his submarines are in the Pearl Harbor - Suva Shipping Lane... they hit a transport or two but nothing serius i have some DD's heading this way so i think i will flush those subs out[:)] 4 Large convoys carrying about 90.000 supply and 100.000 fuel are heading for Suva now[:)] + some smaller ones carrying troops and planes into the Area[:)] i sure do hope that the KB will not show up...[:)] CV Yorktown will reach SF in 2 days ,when i will have 3 CV's in Pearl i will use them to Patrol my Shipping Lanes[:)] Plus i plan to send B-26 bomb group to Midway as he may try to hit the place

China
Nothing new his bombers are making daily raids on my citys but they are not to efficient

planes in China are those of China Air force...
As for ground war in china im moveing my reserves to the Front i will try to attack Canton but the gathering of all necessery forces will take a month or even more...

Phillipines
Clark and Naga still hold the japanese juggernout and im still able to inflict some casualitys to the Japs...

[Przemcio231]

29/I/1942-16/II/1942

Burma/India
Still quiet the only action last week's wes some Bettys and Nell's bombing Chandapour Harbor but no ships were sunk and few sustained minor damage...[:)] Mandalay is Lv 4 Airfield now and still growing Akyab will soon reach Lv 4 to... other bases in the theater grow to so i estaminate japs will be stoped in Mandalay for good... In Case Willie will be trying to Invade india i keep some forces there[:)]

DEI
Willie invaded Java with a large force... he probably thought that i will try to Defend Java... but his wrong i left some transports as a bait he sunk them quickly and now sails around Batavia... well most of my Air force is evacuated as well as my shipping... but im happy he uses a large number of troops wich schuld be diverted to other theaters by now...[:D] One of my Dutch Subs hit CVL Shoho(?) but i think it wount sink:(

Pacific
Port Moresby is a lv 4 Airfield now and tommorow Operation Linebacker will begin as 80 B-17's will bomb Airfield and Port in Rabaul[:D][:D] in the other news Bases in Numaea , Luganville , Canton are filled with base forces and supplies and are growing fast...

China
A total mess as you can see on the Picture and i have no idea how to fix thing up:(((

Today Manila fell so no more about Phillipines till i will return there:)
