Java Sea D Day -2:

A slight miscalculation the TF's start to arrive the afternoon of 06/26/42. This will give AdmSpraunce a chance to plan his attacks on my landing forces. I expect to see his carrier TF in the morning if it is within range. The only good thing to come out of my mistake is the loses his bombers took this turn. 6 shot down and a lot more damaged.

China:
Ground combat at 77,56 (wuchow) taking cas here and moving a div into wuchow has made him move some troops around. This is what I want as my attacks on Pingsiang have had a chance to recover some disruption. Without the air raids I may be able to grind him down. In the next few turns I will be putting 2 full sentai of fighters in cap over Pingsiang and start my own bombing campaign.

In the next turn I am going to hit Kweisui (92,35) with the forces that have returned from the Yenan raid

My landing force had a waypoint of Kragan is unloading very slow I think it has something to do with the waypoint so I have removed it to see what happens this turn. As the other two transoprt TF unloaded in a day and they did not have waypoints.

New Briton:
I was not going to defend this area to hard but it is all over here bar the shouting. No way in hell will I be able to hold any of this area with 100 B-17s flying from Port Morsby and another 100 flying from luganville. AdmSpruance does not even need to make landings in this area. With all his bombers it will take him a day or two to destroy a complete unit. I will start pulling all troops back from here ASAP. The lose of my carriers makes defending this area impossiable and I can't take the chance of another carrier battle in this area with all the LBA. No way to sneak in here now.

Japanese Bombardment attack

Still coming to terms with resource convoy's. By my working out I am landing 2033 oil and 93785 Resources. Each convoy has at least 1 ASW asset attatched and I have set up sea lanes using waypoints with single ASW ships following these paths.

The idea is not to kill the subs just to keep them down. Seems to work ok as I can see twice as many subs. To the number who attack even when they are in the same hex.

Total: 157 Hulls used so far.

OK it is only half way though 43 and I have counter attacks in Burma, China and the Canal all possiable due to massive Air Power on a scale not even seen in vietnam 20+ years later when 1 fighter could carry the load of a WW2 Heavy Bomber.

224 casualties reported
44 casualties reported
116 casualties reported
126 casualties reported

Total: 538

Ground Attack:
808 casualties reported

Total: 808

Total of 4 SQD's left in the Imperial Guards/B Division, at 63,42. If it gets destroyed by air attack in the next few days there goes any hope of rebuilding this Division. This unit has had a total of 1 ground attack against it the rest of its destruction has been by Allied artillery and mass air attack. Roll on the allies.

Imperial Guards/C Division, at 62,42
Air Attack:
Japanese ground losses:
21 casualties reported
6 casualties reported
85 casualties reported

Total: 112

In total the Imperial Guards lost 650 men to air attack not to mention the one's knocked out by disruption. 10000 men devided by 650 = 1 month to destroy a complete Division most likly less if they are low on supply.

Allied subs and planes on the rampage again and no sign of any ships except for the super fleet that keeps popping up 10TF's all in the one hex. Full of BB,CV,CA,CL and destroyers who have laser guided ASW. Any sub who gets within 6 hex is chased down and killed with not 1 or 2 hits but 10 or 20 hits.

Burma: is going into major suckage since the upgrade to patch 2 all my bases in burma have a yellow or red !. All my supplies went someplace I just cant find where. I have checked every base in burma and right down to Tovoy an not a singal base with more than a 150+. Rangoon is the only base in the thousands but it wont let any go even with the request set to 0. Big supply TF coming from Singapore now SP has little to no supply.

P.S. 29 units spotted at Myitkyina + 13 chasing Imperial Guards if the guards get destroyed Burma is his again.

My little trip to lunga went a little wrong. I had the zeros training and when I put them on the carrier I changed

them to escort. Problem was they where still also training at 80% and 20 CAP. Leaving my strike to run head on

into his CAP for easy kills to AdmSpraunce. Hope it makes him wonder who it was out there.

China:
Enemy has started a major attack toward Nanchang. The next few turns are going to be bloody.



Purple lines are where my troops are heading
Red dots are where I will Attack
Green dots are where I have moved up air assets.

If he come to Nanchang with his bombers today he should get a suprise

Burma is going to roll back to rangoon if I cant stop them at Katha I have been revising my strategy and am not to worried if I lose Burma. For the amount of supplies expend in this area the oil, fuel and resources make it almost worthless to me. I will try and hold as long as I can but I dont see it being to long.

Nanchang in china caved like a house of cards on the first real attack. Even if I take it back now the resources will be totaled.
