If you're happy and you know it....

PI still looks light, just a matter of bringing up loads of infantry! Under proper air cover of course...

Under proper air cover of course...

Always the caveats.

Air rosses from 22nd. The poor, suffering Kates. And the Zeroes. The Wellies suffered a bit too. Can you say that, "Wellies"?

It Emperor's Birthday Partay in Phirripines!

Does your opponent have an AAR running by any chance?

Very early on..long since abandoned, I believe.

Self explanatory.

Don't know if we are spotted yet.

The Bay of Bengal was abandoned? I suspect it's the building codes.

Ramree Invasion force

Port Blair invasion force:

Hmmm ... those xAP's are going to unload quite slowly .. I think it will take no less than 3 full turns to unload? I guess eventually some Naval support will arrive? Once those ships announce themselves -- JJ is going to be quite perturbed . something akin to knocking over a hornets nest .. I assume Prome is fully supressed?

Even though there is no road .. I have found that Ramree island does propagate supply forward once built up ...

Prome is empty. The plan is to drop 50th Para Brigade on it.

I didn't show the build-up forces which do include lots of naval support squads.

I think there is a small tank unit at Prome but that is not enough to displace a Commonwealth brigade.

The greater risk is LYB LBA. I also think it will take about 3 d to unload those AP's at Ramree over a level zero port with no naval support although it is certainly possible to use whatever gets ashore on day 1 and then bug out until an airbase is built. It seems however that we wont have construction engineers right off the bat unless a Commonwealth corps HQ has them intrinsically.

There are some small surface combatants at Rangoon.

When I said follow on forces I meant 3 divisions, 3 or 4 brigades plus a metric shedload of support troops. Just so everyone knows.

Yes, the "follow-on" force is really an Army-sized force.

As a further distraction, the first landing on Luzon will go in tomorrow (para drop) on Legaspi in SE Luzon. 8th Marine Regt, a Marine tank Bn and engineers and aviation support will start landing tomorrow night after the base changes hands.


Wasp, the CVE's and several infantry regiments and a "metric shed load"[:)] of armor will arrive vicinity of Ternate tomorrow, about 3-4 d out from a Luzon landing, probably at Lucena.

This may dissuade JJ from sending aircraft from the Phirripines to help in Burma.

This was my intial concern that JJ would empty PI in a very frantic attempt to interdict the landings and they would have one day to change bases, a day to repair ops damage / hit with some sweeps .. and then the next day have a blood fest .. at least with Cap's move in PI JJ will have to decide .. and PI is far more an immediate threat ......[8D]

at least with Cap's move in PI JJ will have to decide

It's like we planned it. But only like.
