The Northern Front
His invasiom of Adak Island has occured. My 600 laid mines had no effect on all his cruisers and destroyers during several naval combats and bombardments, but they have damaged a few of his APs. The weather has grounded my Nells at Attu for a couple of days, and on the first day the HIYO and the CVE's with her were covered by a storm. I must simply dig in and wait on Attu and Kiska, for I feel it is only a matter of time for Adak Island to fall. I lost a chunk of the 7th Infantry Division when I tried to withdraw them, and there is no enough supply there after all of the bombardments. Of course I will have to send some reinforcements to the region, but it is more of a side show then anything else.
The Central Pacific
Nothing much happening here. FLoyd mines my ports and I sweep'em. Occasionally his subs take a shot at one of my minesweepers and every so often they hit and sink one. Still have a good Datai of Zeros and a good Datai of Nells guarding Kwajalein. Keep waiting for him to try and raid in that area or Wake with the Hornet and now maybe the Wasp or bith.
South Pacific
I've turned this theater into a major battle zone. The ability of his engineers to hold off my Paratroopers at Koumac for several days has had a major ripple effect and slowed the whole campaign to a crawl. When he brought his Marines back to Noumea, my Carrier planes were unable to sink enough AKs and APs that the overwhelming majority of the division are now defending New Caledonia at la Foa. It has been a very slow march (regardless of the road) for my units marching down from Koumac to join the battle at La Foa.
On a positive note, I think I've destroyed ALOT of B-17s at Efate, and it looks like he is no longer using that base as a major air field. I need to get some ideas as to his strength to see if I may want to use my Brigade in Reserve, as well as the two large SNLF units I have planning for Efate.
Australia
Derby has fallen and is now an active base. It took my Engineers only 2 days to lower the airbase damage (both were in the 70's). The arrival of a British Carrier on station was surprising. Two Datai of Betty's at Timor 15 hexes away only Naval Attack, 30% search and once more no warning. (I'm not even going to discuss the planes on Java and at Kendari-another nearly 90 bomber). Hopefully these pilots will get some stones tomorrow!
The 16th Army outside of Darwin is not recovering as fast as I'd expected and every attack I make seems to fail. I'm hoping that the addition of the 48th Infantry Division might change that.

JULY 18th, 1942
SNLF Troops land at Broome, unfortunately the Indian Infantry Division (troops brought in the AKs we attacked several turns ago) had already returned to Broome. The Indian Troops counterattack destroying most if the SNLF.
Betty's and Nells on Timor spot but do not strike the British Carrier- I assume its the Illustrious since the Formidable took two torpedoes a few weeks ago.
American Marines continue to unload at Adak Island & another transport hits a mine.
I have no clue how the a Carrier loses fuel while its TF refuels from a replenishment TF which still has over 2000 fuel left. Someone wiull have to explain that one to me.

RE: July 20, 1942
JULY 20th, 1942
Was disappointed when all my strikes near Adak Island went after his Destroyers and not his unloading transports.
Was even more disppointed when Bettys and Nells in Derby and on Timor spot the Illustrious, then do not attack her. Ihave lost count of the time that my planes spot an enemy TF within range and then do not attack it....especially those with British ships (it seems).
Was shocked to receive 0:1 odds in my asttack outside Derby.

JULY 23rd, 1942
Operations in New Caledonia are taking forever. I never imagined that it would take so long. I am still stupified that his engineer unit with no assult value was able to hold off a SNLF Para Bn and a PARA Rgt for several days! They were only finally pushed out of Koumac after the majority of an Infantry Division landed. Oh well I need to stop whinnning!
I was very disappointed when my two Betty Datais on Java did absolutely nothing after my CS spotted some AKs south of Java. Plus the small SCTF in the same hex did not enegage the AKs.
I am bringing another Mixed Rgt from China to North Western Australia. With a little luck I will have Broome before they arrive, but if not they will prove very helpful. Unfortunately Floyd was able to move one of his Aussie Inf Div back in to Darwin. (Why have I been unable to withdraw any of my units involved in the fight south of Darwin though? I've attacked with him everyday and when I've set units to move away on the road, they don't?) Well the large Naval Infantry and 56th Brigade will have to land at Wyndham and march over.

RE: July 24, 1942
JULY 24th, 1942
Well still nothing happening in the Java Sea.
Still can't seem to motivate the Shokaku to upgrade; took the Zuikaku out for a spin, maybe her Vals will sink a sub...my luck I'll get torpedoed-lol.
It just gets my goat that my 0:1 attacks end up eith me suffering double or triple the casualties of the defender, but in China he attacks my troops North of Canton 917:2000+ adjusted AV and I suffer 5 more casualties. I just don't understand?

The Aleutians
Floyd G has landed the 1st USMC Div on Adak Iskand. The bulk of the IJA 7th Infantry Division looks to be doomed. I was going to withdraw the Hiyo and the CVEs, but have decided to see if Floyd will risk the Hornet and/or Wasp up here.I'm hoping that with the 21 Nells (+seven repairing), the Sentai of Oscars, Chutai of Zeros, & the Mavis' to search, I will still have the advantage in this theater.

RE: The Aleutians
The Hiyo's air group has 17 A6M2 Zeros, 10 Vals, & 15 Kates. She is supported by the Hosho with 5 each Zeros & Kates, the Taiyo with 8 Kates and 21 A6M2 Zeros, and the Unyo with 27 Vals. Now I know a problem is that the Unyo & Taiyo can only support 90 strikes each which severly limits there stay at sea. I am thinking of bringing the Zuikaku up after she cleans up a little more.

I had thought that only 1 Sub per hex could attack in a day; I guess I was wrong as were all those other 'posters', for 2 Allied subs attacked me @ Wake!
Most of my Air missions in NW Australia didnt fly which may have hurt my attacks. One thing that puzzled me was why did only 2 A6M3 Zeros fly escort out of a datai of 27? They had a morale in the 70's are were not on any CAP.
I don't think strafing all those PT boats wsa really worth it.

RE: The Aleutians
JLUY 26th, 1942
Still no attack on the 2 Royal Navy Battleships fleeing from Darwin and heading towards Port Moresby. I even placed two Betty Datais at Lae in addition to the two Nell datais at Port Moresby, but still no attacks. They are out of torpedo range now from the bombers based at Kendari and Timor.
Seems even when I win a ground combat, I still lose twice as many troops as the Allies even with 2:1 odds! Very frustrating!
Looks like Floyd got the rest of those Aks and Aps in to Noumea under my nose. My carrier planes diudn't strike nor did any of my bobmbers at Luganville or the dive-bombers at Koumac. Once more; very frustrating!

Synch Bug Bummer
We had some MAJOR Synch Bug Problems!
The first time the turn was run was a major bonus to me! A nuclear type bombardment of Darwin (over 2000 casualties) and his troops counter attacking at Darwin were repulsed back in to their seige lines with another 2500 casualties. Plus his advancing Burma Rifles Brigades were both driven off.
Well when Floyd G ran the turn the results were very different. So I ran it again (while on the phone) and we made those the "official Results".
Strangely I ran the turn several more times often getting different results-whether I ran it form my desktop or from my flashdrive on other computers.

#1 Please read previoous post...which makes this turn although decenmt, not as happy as it should be.
We had some success at Darwin, but again many planbes in Oz failed to fly.
The SHOKAKU still refuses to repair or upgrade in Tokyo harbor. She's been there now for a week with nothing happening.
Looking into the idea of abandoning the New Caledonia invasion and switching gears to either Suva or Efate.
Since I feel he has brought at least another US Infantry Division to Noumea I no longer think my operation there can succeed. I'll give it another few days to shake out!

RE: July 29, 1942
JULY 29th 1942
IJA Forces once beseige Darwin. The initial attack lowers the Fortification level to 1. I wish my bombers (81 Betty/Nells, plus another 80+ Sally/Helens) which had been designated to attack Darwin had hit the airfield and ground troops-but typically they did not fly even with good weather!
The SHOHO is attacked by bombers from Efate, but escapes unscathed.
I have withdrawn the 21st Mixed Brigade out of the fray at La Foa, with more supply coming into to Koumac it will refresh quickly I hope.
I will begin assualting Ichang tomorrow, I've noticed the AV of his corps there falling in my bombardment attacks.

IJA Forces once beseige Darwin. The initial attack lowers the Fortification level to 1. I wish my bombers (81 Betty/Nells, plus another 80+ Sally/Helens) which had been designated to attack Darwin had hit the airfield and ground troops-but typically they did not fly even with good weather!
The SHOHO is attacked by bombers from Efate, but escapes unscathed.
I have withdrawn the 21st Mixed Brigade out of the fray at La Foa, with more supply coming into to Koumac it will refresh quickly I hope.
I will begin assualting Ichang tomorrow, I've noticed the AV of his corps there falling in my bombardment attacks.

RE: July 30, 1942
JULY 30th, 1942
Why does the game seem to do what it wants sometimes? I ordered my troops beseiging Darwin to make Bombardemnt Attacks, yet they choose to make a Deliberate Attack! Of course you know I lost alot of men...I had an adjusted AV of 4! When I checked both after the turn was run, and my last move before I finalized the turn all my units there were ordered to make a Bombardment Attack.
My 81 Betty's at Lae wont fly strikes against the Warspite and Royal Sovereign; they have support and more supply then the Nells at Pt. Moresby. Luckily the few Nells from Pt. Moresby put two torpedoes into the Warspite.
It seems an IJN destroyer can get messed up by several .50 cal MGs and a few 20mm Cannon hits from US PT Boats! The DD Yukaze enegaged several US PT Boats, sunk 1, was hit 8 times by MG and 20mm fire and now has 50 SYSTEM DAMGE!
Was happy to drive the 2 British Brigades back in Burma.
Was shocked by the # of casualties I still took at Ichang w/o reducing the Fortifications! He has been cutoff (surrounded)there for weeks....very frustrating!

Why does the game seem to do what it wants sometimes? I ordered my troops beseiging Darwin to make Bombardemnt Attacks, yet they choose to make a Deliberate Attack! Of course you know I lost alot of men...I had an adjusted AV of 4! When I checked both after the turn was run, and my last move before I finalized the turn all my units there were ordered to make a Bombardment Attack.
My 81 Betty's at Lae wont fly strikes against the Warspite and Royal Sovereign; they have support and more supply then the Nells at Pt. Moresby. Luckily the few Nells from Pt. Moresby put two torpedoes into the Warspite.
It seems an IJN destroyer can get messed up by several .50 cal MGs and a few 20mm Cannon hits from US PT Boats! The DD Yukaze enegaged several US PT Boats, sunk 1, was hit 8 times by MG and 20mm fire and now has 50 SYSTEM DAMGE!
Was happy to drive the 2 British Brigades back in Burma.
Was shocked by the # of casualties I still took at Ichang w/o reducing the Fortifications! He has been cutoff (surrounded)there for weeks....very frustrating!

Situation at the Crossroads South of Darwin
Delays in unloading a large SNLF and Tank Rgt at Wyndham leave me weaker here then I would like, especially with the arrival of the 7th Australian Infantry Division.
