this attack has been the only noteworthy action today as the Japanese shock attacked across the river disabling halve of their Army... our troops are fully supplied so with an equally strong force attacking here there's nothing to achieve and even less so after having to shock attack across the river... I know Mundy doesn't like continental ground combat so I wonder if we are going to see a quiet China... for me playing as the Japanese knocking out the Chinese is a must though...

nav search is reporting a carrier TF moving around the tip of Borneo, heading Southwest and I'm sure it's the CVL/CVE group our xAKL stumbled into several times... looks like the two baby carriers are escorting another convoy so these ships might move to Malang to reinforce the beachhead there... with only two baby carriers that could be a super high risk operation as our airfields on Java are fully operational... being in danger of a naval bombardment we have moved most of our bombers out of Soerabaja...

we have not used our carriers offensively but tomorrow will be time to commit them against a target of opportunity as naval search has picked up three task forces North of Sorong... Force Z (minus Repulse) and all our available USN carriers are covering a convoy going to Ambon, bringing reinforcements, will move North to engage the Japanese... must be some high value stuff as it seems to be heavily escorted...

here comes the USN! The carriers moved North and catch the enemy at max range for the SBDs to carry 1000lb ship killers... four enemy heavy cruisers were identified and I'm not sure if I should be happy or not about target selection today as we sink a lot of freighters with troops aboard but in return the heavy cruisers were pretty much left alone... most of the damaged freighters will go down so there will be a lot of Japanese combat troops drowning but I consider IJN CAs a real threat so they are very high up on my target list...

[castor troy]

was thinking about pursuing the Japanese that will surely scatter their convoys but decided to revert to our primary mission of covering the amphib force going to Ambon... was a nice strike and we didn't even lose a single carrier based aircraft which are all worth their weight in gold at this date...

considering we have most likely sunk a CVE plus damaged a CVL today it must be seen as a success but the cost in aircraft was huge considering the tiny numbers available to us... the 19 Zeroes managed to down halve of my available Vindicators plus several other aircraft, racking up nearly two dozen kills for only one Zero lost... 75 Warhawks at the airfield of Soerabaja ordered on escort and not a single one flew...

enemy has carriers near Singapore now... and there seems to be more coming to Mersing under the cover of at least three enemy carriers... don't understand the move though as Singapore is just about to fall so unloading at Mersing and marching out of the hex just wastes precious time when the enemy could unload at Singapore after having cleared the mines there as I don't expect to see the defenders survive another IJA attack...

WEIRD! Was asking about this suizide attack and was told the enemy didn't expect a shock attack across the river here... for a disabled engineer squad we completely trash an enemy brigade... was already looking forward to kick the unit out of the hex when I had to realize it retreated right out of the hex again...

was expecting the final assault at Singapore today which didn't happen so a totally unspectacular turn... SIGINT provided us with info about 53rd IJ div going to Rabaul which surprises me as the enemy isn't moving onto Burma yet and we still hold Singapore (barely) and Luzon so what is an enemy div doing at Rabaul? With an intact KB I'd say going for Port Moresby but after our B-17 visit the KB is nowhere strong enough to support an invasion of Port Moresby at this date...

looks like Mundy wants to clear Luzon and not starve my troops to death but that is coming at a cost... while we suffer lots of disablements and a destroyed btn the enemy also suffers over 200 destroyed squads... that's why I wonder about an enemy div being shipped to Rabaul, if I wanted to clear Luzon early, which I hardly ever do, then I'd use every available div here...

still no final attack at Singapore...

[BBfanboy]

Your ships do not have to emerge from the off map movement at the point the AI calculates for them to go to destination port. You can set a waypoint so you emerge somewhere not in line with a common destination.

That division sent to Rabaul may signal the Japanese are halting their expansion and starting to fortify the minimal perimeter they can support. Loss of KB in early 1942 is reason enough to stop their expansion. The division was probably intended for PM but since it is no longer feasible to press that offensive, he could have just decided to have it dig in at Rabaul.

Yeah I know about the waypoint but if I send them from Balboa to the West Coast they enter the same spot all the time and I'm too lazy to set two waypoints usually.

Rabaul already shows 61 units! That feels more like a staging point for a further offensive into the South Pacific than defending the base. I guess I didn't even have that many units there in early 45 last game. [:D]

Without KB cover, all those little units that would have seized islands from the Marshalls and Gilberts and Solomons are stuck waiting for some kind of new cover to be arranged before they can move out. A great POW camp if you can cut off their movement from there!

Rabaul already shows 61 units! That feels more like a staging point for a further offensive into the South Pacific than defending the base. I guess I didn't even have that many units there in early 45 last game. [:D]

Without KB cover, all those little units that would have seized islands from the Marshalls and Gilberts and Solomons are stuck waiting for some kind of new cover to be arranged before they can move out. A great POW camp if you can cut off their movement from there!

Will be a hard task, my carriers can't stand up against massed Betty strikes with Zero escorts. Despite the loss of Kaga and most likely two other smaller carriers KB is still a threat and LBA anyways. And the enemy is still on the offensive, doubt he will settle down until he has at least the historic perimeters.

Whoever you put in charge of Singapore was worth the pps. Are you going to save him and put Percival back in charge?
