Oct 3rd 1942

A smallish man with thick glasses walks into the Emporers quarters.

The Emporer is standing at a window facing east soaking in the warmth of the rising sun.
"Doesnt the rising sun feel great" The emporer comments.

Smallish man "Yes it does, I have brought the map of our empire you requested it has grown vast, the Co-prosperity should bring our people many days of joy!"

Emporer "It appears that way, let me see the map"

The smallish man hands the Emporer the map, who begins to puruse it with pride, only a slight frown can be seen when he spots Fiji outside the sphere.

Smallish man "Great news Emporer we have made great advances in some new engine technology, I understand some of these are called rockets!"

Device Kayaba Argus advances R&D
Device Toko Rocket advances R&D
Device NE turbojet advances R&D
Device Mitsubishi Ha-42 advances R&D

Emporer "Excellant, any news of the enemy?"

Smallish man "No your Emporer they still hide, except they are beginning to advance in India, we are making adjustments"

Emporer "Very well show me how we fair in the war and china next."

The smallish man leaves to gather more pictures.

[stldiver]

The smallish man once again enters the room this time carrying a map of China.

"Emporer as you can see we have captured most of China, but I must caution their army is very large when trapped into a small area, we have already been forced back once from Chungking"

Emporer "I understand, the Dragon can be very fierce when cornered"

Smallish man "We have learned that, but our advances next should be in full force'


Strategic While Japan can advance vs the Chinese deeply in China, when those chinese units resurrect in Chungking, they become a very large and formidable force in a tight corner. Not sure how to tangle with that beast yet, as in our game we do not allow strategic bombing till 43.
Scotts run into my backlines with 9 plus corps is nearing the end as they have been routed and chased.

Map below 22 allied units spotted at Tennant creek, on road SE is one of two units that advanced then retreated.

[stldiver]

Cpt Kaku Tomeo commander of the CV Hiryu paces the bridge. It has been almost a year since the capitalist forced Japan into this just war.
They have had many success's and some setbacks, but the fleet, army and airforce were all intact. He gazes at the new anti-aircraft guns that were added several months ago, these should definatly help. He ponders what the allied fleet was doing this moment?

Upgrading their AA, preparing for a counter assault, awaiting the Japanese next advance. Like wars in the past there are times of great action and times of watching and waiting. Today he watches and waits, his men, ship and samurai spirit are ready for what the next year brings.

Tommorrow he may have orders to head out, to where he does not know. He ponders the losses that have already come from the war.

[khyberbill]

WOW, Scott has taken some fierce A/C losses. These are tough to make up in AE. He must be down to Sopwith Camels on the front lines now.

[stldiver]

Oct 3rd and 4th.

Khyberbill, not sure what Scott is flying as his airforce has not been seen in the air in over a week. We hope to have damaged but know the allied airpower can grow fast. Our pilots still retain good experiance though we have lost some vets as you can imagine.

The main focus the last two days is in India and its getting hot.
Without airpower Scott assaulted us at Howrah and pushed out several units. 1 day later 80 miles to the NW at Jamshedpur we assualted achieved 2 to 1 and forced out 4 of the 8 units. The next day we recovered. I was surprised all the units did not retreat just the small ones.

He is already advancing out of Howrah and moving in from the North.

Our Samurai's are sharpening their Kantana's!

This was true in WITP but in AE, allied a/c production is weak until mid to late 43 for fighters. Bomber production remains weak until 44.

Oct 6th 1942

Lgen Sano commander of the 38th divisions stands next to Lgen Toyoma, they peer across the shell marked battlefield at the debris and equipment left behind by the retreating allied forces. The second assault had finally shown the samurai spirit and evicted the capitalist from co-prosperity land. How long would this last they did not know. Already they had 3 enemy forces within 40 miles. An unknown american units 40 miles west (on their map), an Indian division 40 miles to the south, and the army they just retreated 40 miles to the NW. There would be no time for rest. The allies were ready to try and take back india.

Sano "Toyoma its been a long time since March 19th when we sailed to this coast, I feel the enemy is getting stronger"

Toyoma "Yes, it has been a good 6 months but I also agree, the enemy that we kicked around has grown much stronger and I fear our days of advance are over, lets drink some saki to this victory and pull the other generals together. I feel a defensive plan may be in order"

The two veteran generals who have been at the front of every assault in india, turn back to thier lines to enjoy some saki and plan for the coming storm.

The crews stumble back into thier huts at Daly Waters. It had been the worst day they ever had experianced. The day before the allied planes had swept empty skies and then their bombers hit the troops. Command immediatly ordered the Nick's into the air. They had always been successful before but today, they were overmatched. At the end of the day 18 Nick's did not return to base.

Later as they gathered for dinner news spread that in india over 13 Nells and 5 Zero's perished did not return.

Command put together thier best estimate 38 Japanese planes fell from the skies to only 13 allied planes. What had gone wrong?

Two examples of battles that went wrong. Today was the first day I encountered the Nick not living up to it's name "Dragon Killer". In the future I will team it back up with Oscar's, Tojo's and Zero's vs alone. In India we just ran into a bigger force.

R. Suzuki of the 24th Sentai spots 9 of the Wildcats below, immediatly he begins his dive, the Wildcats for the 3rd day come in, but it would not be the heavy Nick's today but the nimble Oscars, quickly the battle turns onsided and the allied forces withdraw with 2 planes going down in smoke. Later two more raids are intercepted with similar results. When his wheels touch ground Suzuki has 2 credited kills for his second mission. The commanders plan had been good, the heavy and damaged Nick's were to stay grounded while the Oscars would deal in the one on one fighter combat. Similar success was reported in India.

End of day total 39 allied planes down to 10 japanese.

For two days the Japanese had bombed an armored unit 120 miles NE of Jameshedpur with no interferance. As had happened to the east they suspected a CAP trap on the third day, so the bombers were told to stand down, and vetran Oscar's went up instead. They encountered Fork Tail Devils and sent many spinning to earth.

I am surprised the Oscar's did so well but I attribute it to we appear to have the altitude, they were LRCAP and had to come back piecemeal and with all the battles, this a very vetran unit. Still I am surprised in Witp it would have been a slaughter the other way. I read in Cannerbaul's AAR that Corsairs may also not be the killing machine! Could this mean the rising sun may last forever!

Lgen Sano once again lowers the binoculars, his men and the other two divisions had routed the 26th Indian Division that had marched to within 40 miles of Asanol from Howrah.

The Emporer waits while the minister spreads his charts and graphs out in front. Most have arrows pointing in the upward direction. Finally the minister has them all spread out and stands back, there is a hint of pleasure as he begins to speak.

Minister “Emporer our industry is doing very well, as you can see the heavy industry is producing over 4000 a day, and we have over 580,000 units stored in case of an emergency.”

Emporer “Units? What are units of heavy industry?”

Minister “I am sorry sir its just a name we apply to our heavy industry capacity and ability to produce, it makes it easier to chart. We need Oil, Fuel and Resources to power our industry. Currently we have over 250 days supply of Fuel and Oil stored in Honsho, it is resources we have the most need for and we have built that back up to 99 days supply.”

Emporer “Do we have enough ships to bring the resources in?”

Minister “With the needs of the military to move troops, and the need of those ships to use fuel, it is tight but we have a slight surplus. The allied command did great damage to our merchants early in the war”

Emporer “What of our ship production then should we build more?”

Minister “Yes we are building more but currently we have more ships planned then we have capacity to build, we have put some ships on hold, till more get built. We currently have 1580 naval units capacity which is 29 more then our need, but we have ships on hold to maintain this, mainly small subs and light cruisers. It is the merchant fleet that feels the pinch we have 654 capacity here but run a deficit of 95 each day, we let the shipyards fight on who is going to build what. We have stopped most big AK’s and have tried to focus on the tankers. We currently do no have plans to increase shipyard capacity as we want to use those supplies to feed our ever hungry troops.”

Emporer “What of the airforce”

Minister “We have halted a lot of planes due to our airforce sweeping the enemy from the skies, we have surplus in stock so have halted most major production until we have a need or newer models come online.”

Emporer “So what your telling me is our economy is running well, our shortcomings are resources and merchant shipyard capacity”

Minister “Yes your Emporer that is exactly correct”

Emporer “Very good, but I want you to check into increasing merchant yards, I have a feeling we may need more merchants for our ever expanding empire”

A pretty japanese cipher reads thru the picked up messages in a small office located in Tokyo. In the background is the sound of typewriters as other workers sift thru the intelligance of enemy newspapers and radio broadcast. She gazes at a message dated Oct 24th, BB Idaho was lost 120 miles NE of Lahania. It gives no reasons or explananations. Quickly she coroberates other data, there was no submarine activity in the area! So what caused this BB to sink?

She feels the need to pass on the information, but wonders, is this Fog of War or did something happen? Time will tell but for now she at least know the BB Idaho was near that location on Oct 24th 1942.

We have closed another month, which for the most part has been fairly quiet.

North, Central, SW, DEI, Australia - Nothing nada, zilch. The allies hide from the power of the rising sun.

India - Our military units have exchanged blows with Scott moving me out of Howrah, and I evicted his advance at Jamshedpur. Several other engagments have also retreated the allies. Currently as seen in map below, the allies are moving towards Asanol so the dance continues. In the air Scott caught me at Diamond and yesterday tore up 20 Sallies, but we still control the air.
