10-2-43 update

Koumac has fallen to US and NZ forces. P-38's already operating from base.

Game now at mid-march. All of New Caledonia is now in Allied hands and the supply line to Australia is now secure. A massive restructuring and strategic movement of forces is underway in order to carry out the new phase of operations.





1) The Royal Navy will sally in force along with an invasion force to land troops on the western coast of Sumatra. I have 500,000 K worth of supply and fuel along with assault and support units already afloat in Colombo and awaiting the rest of the shipping needed to get to Madras to embarke the remaining units.

2) SOPAC will spearhead an attack on Daly Waters and Katherine. There are about 3,000 AV's worth of units. It is hoped that the major HQ will circumvent the supply problems of attacking up the trail.

3) An Australian Division and the RAN will support the Royal Navy and British Army's attack on Sumatra and if the opportunity arises, carry out a landing on Exmouth (still Allied) and Broome.

The aim is to coordinate all assaults and force the Yokel to face an attack on multipe fronts. To aid the attacks I plan to develop the dot bases to the SE of Guadalcanal and make strong raids on Lunga and the surrounding area. Similarly the CENTPAC bases will also give the allusion that the USN is ready to sortie. I am holding back two US Carriers to 'show' at the appropiate time in areas far from the area of opeartions to confuse the enemy. Likewise a reinforced Chinese army is moving to Changsha and intends to attack in the direction of Nanyang. I may also advance some units at Cox's Bazaar in the direction of Akyab to further confuse the enemy. If all goes well LY may think he has China, CENTPAC, Northern Australia, Burma, The Solomons and Sumatra to worry about, and there are so many places the KB can be at once!

Its funny but this game is acting as a drawing board for my game vs Herb. As John is handing me my arse on a plate thus i apply the lessons learnt in Herbs game.

Good to see this AAR still ongoing.

I have been away for several months and this was one the PBEM games I did follow.

I need to catch up on happenings here once I have the time to read it properly.

Nice AAR format for sure.

Many thanks aztez, my other AAR of my game vs Herb is very much in the same vein.
