The reinforcements that I am going to send (16 x 6" Guns and a Bn of Aus Militia +27 AV)
balance of 8th NZ bde out of Suva (+140 AV)
8th Marine Regt (+140 AV)
3rd Motor Bde (+140 Av )

I am sending 7 Flower Class Corvettes and one RN Destroyer to the West Coastto assist in ASW efforts
The sucess of my RCN led Support Group has made me realise I need to beef it up.
I really dont like that I have lost KB. It worries me
In other news as said above I expect 11th Indian Div to get retreated out of Singapore
In air battles over Rangoon my fighters managed a 1:1 exchange rate shooting down 9 Zeroes so I am pretty happy with that
The Vildebeeste stuck again with two more ships sunk.
I only had 4 of them left but they are achieving miracles thats 6 ships sunk so far whitch is a hell of a job.
I have another 4 in India but thats all thats left of these plucky little planes.
I would love another 30 or 40 of them the NZ Vincents would do nicely if I could jury rig a torpedo !!!!

OK 11th Indian Div was retreated and therefore is now weak but the rest of the army got out intact.
A TF is heading fro Balikpapan no idea whats in it but I am monitoring it from a distance.
With the reduction of Mersing its time to bug out for Singapore as fast as I can
All units are now in full retreat for the island - we will bow the causeway behind us and hope for the best !!!!
If I get time totally disrupted units will be pulled out and sent to India.
Japanese forces are advancing on Moulmien no idea who they are yet but I am watching

Next turn not a lot to say other than troops are moving for Singapore Japanese have begun to move forward towards Moulmien that I am only weakly garrisoning.
Java will probably be next A Japanese SNLF Company landed and fought it out with an Australian Indpt Conmpany and lost but Kavieng is not worth holding so I m puling them out

Had a bit more time to look around this morning in total Singapore has about 650 AV when everything is back on the island
c 200 from 11th Indian Div, 250 from 9th Indian Div with the balance from 8th Aus Div and the small Bns
of those units I will try to evac as much as Ican of 22nd Aus Bde its fought out with only 5 active AV left so its adding nothing
Added to the three Bird Bns it might be enough when rested to rebiuld 8th Aus Div - an outside chance but might be doable.
Going to think about it it certainly adding nothing to the resistance of MSingapore.
Fort levels are 3 and I have enough supplies.
Overall it will fall when the main body arrives its probably not enough in the Mersing force to take it on its own.
So we are looking two weeks at the outside
So somewhere around 20th Jan.
Reinforcemetns are starting to arrive with the first P40 Sqn arrriving in Australia to back up the 8 Buffalos of 488 Sqn RAF on PM and the 15 Buffalos of 243 Sqn at Darwin
31st PG is at tahiti with 75 P39D's amd will will move one sqn to Fiji and Pago Pago
22nd BG with 35 Marauders is nearly at Suva
My fall back line of Fiji/Pago Pago/Tahiti is almost ready to resit an attack I need more infantry but Marine Defence Bns are in place engineers and suppluies are off loading and I have a reasonable expectation of putting up a decent figh uif attacked

OK guys sorry for th elack of updates I had a family party yesterday then had to fly down to London.
About 3 or 4 turns have passed the gist of whats happend
1. IJN Subs still causing mayhem.
2. KB raids Brisbane and finds very little because I know Brisbane is to exposed. A few DM's are sunk en route to replenish and a convoy with 5th RAA Coastal Arty is attacked in passing - its not good as I was counting on that unit for PM so thats a poor start.
3. Malaya perimeter is contracting to Singapore alone. Not sure whether to try and evac under fire or not

OK guys back at it I have a cunning plan which may match the Light Brigade for fiasco but I want to try it !!!
Two days ago two Japanese Regiments attacked and captured Moulmien
I am not quite ready to give up on that city yet and I believe I can take em !!!
1st Burma Div and 5 Indpt Indian Bdes totalling about 850 AV total are going to attack accross river the two Japanese regiments
In accordance with this policy I sent in bombers today to try and damage and dirsupt the Japanese forces with little impact they were covered by the AVG which has returned to Rangoon.
In addition all of this covers the unloading of a 3 x AK supply convoy at Rangoon.
So I have three objectives
Attrit his AF
Try and retreat two japanese Regts
Get more supply into Burma.
Rock PZB back on his heels by successfully counter attacking.
Only time will tell if any of these actions are successfull.
I dont think he realises how strong I am in Burma and if I have even 1 regt of 7th Armoured Bde I would feel more confident - however needs must
8 Bdes of British , Burmese and Indian infantry are attacking for the very first time lets see how they do !!!!

p.s. PZB has committed 4th Div to Malaya with that committment that means 4 full IJA Divs in the line against me already......
Allowing that they will need to depack from strat mode so say 2 or 3 days then another 2 days to cross the straits I estimate at best Singapore will fall in c 7 days max.
So on or about 16th January. Any later and its a bonus....

4 divisions should have an AV of around 1300. Is that really enough?
RE: The Line is not holding....
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2010 2:56 pm
by Andy Mac
Aye I only have 700 ish plus he has others following up from the Johore battles
Both the Aus Bdes are wrecked.
SSVF and FMSV are useless I evacced the Indpt Battalions as not being up to much in this kind of fight (one air attack targeting them and they are combat inneffective)
So overall when he attacks he will take it.

Not a lot more to say my attack goes in tomorrow then we will see
I am reorging my USAAF Bomb groups at present
I want 1 Heavy and 1 Medium Gp in India
at least 1 Heavy and 1heavy/Medium mixed Gp in Australia
and if possible 2 x Heavy/Medium Groups in CENTPAC
They will all be under strength but I want them in position and ready for whatever comes

Ok the attack failed which is dissapointing but its not all bad my units are that little bit more experienced and a little but higher morale and a little bit better 1:1 is not a total disaster...
I have another Indian Bde in reserve that is not yet complete and a Chinese Division nearing decent combat level both will be committed in support of this attack I want them retreated

Andy, as you may have noticed, while you might get decent AV, the experience of all Allied units is woeful.
Be very wary about commiting them too far forward.

Yup but by committing them in a fight like this I can get the xp up (hopefully)
44th 45th and 46th bdes are all woefull they were barely formed and I have rushed them to the front.
If I can get them involved in what would be a small fight here then maybe they can get some valuable combat experiece even if I dont win
Looking at it I was pretty nasty to these Indian bdes they are barely more than recruits hot out of the training camps without enough NCO's to teach them their trade - which hang on is more or less correct
I need to be carefull as I dont want any retreats but a few weaks if I can get them pounding on two undersupplied Japanese Regts would be good.
I may even bring in some CA's to support the effort...with some NGS
RE: The Line is not holding....

Losses were actually quite light if I can get 7th Hussars in to support and some NGS then I might well end up winning this one
When Singapore falls the full weight of has AF will turn north at which time it will be right to boogie on back for the border....

Allied Shock attack
Hi Andy,
Wouldn’t it be better for you not to shock attack him in these circumstances? Deliberate attacks mean you’ll take far fewer losses and hits to your morale and fatigue, so over the next weeks/months, that’ll translate into a lot more attacks you launch overall, which equals a lot more experience gained in the end.
Also if you do force him out of the hex with a shock attack, he is not likely to return, so your chance to train up your rabble into something resembling a fighting force before his large combat divisions arrive will be lost.

4 divisions should have an AV of around 1300. Is that really enough?
4 IJA divs are more around 1700 av it seems. The IJA divs I´ve met so far all have more than 400 av each.
