4th of March 1942

Today was remarkable day for Allied air forces. They managed to get down 35 (!) enemy planes, 22 of which where so cold "0". Despite all the declining financial bonuses Mitsubishi and Nakajima are paying to corrupted air model designers and modders ( [:'(] ) we keep destroying them in the air and on the ground.

Our sources in Japanese Aviation Headquarter report that there is a strong opposition formed in army and navy circles against current IJN aviation commander Kastoramishu Troyikatsu. There are rumors that some officers will try to pass petition to the Emperor Harakirihito during his current visit to the Baltic States (now occupied by Japanese ally Germany) through Japanese ambassador in Germany. We just can guess what will be reaction on such waste of imperial resources.

The performance of the so called 4E bombers must be some kind of anomaly also as they seem to be B52 warped back in time to 1942. And they are as easy to maintain as a paper flyer as it doesn´t matter how many you damage, they are repaired the next day.... Scientists are now fearing the world will explode as this war is full of anomalies so far...

To shock our enemy even more we decided to dis-classify information on new technological breakthrough made by our Soviet scientists. From now on we are able to clone our best commanders and assign them the most critical command roles. First successfully tested on general MacArthur this cloning practice is being used by other Allied nation as well. According to our Soviet comrades leaders cloning is very safe and easy, with just one side effect - sometimes cloned leader can become of Japanese origin with very low abilities. After been discovered with Woos-magic-machine they are annihilated.

That is interesting - as I didn't assign any leaders..[&:]

Some of them assigned to several units from the beginning, especially a lot of Soviets and MacArthur

Some appear during the game process (ex. splitting TF)

Ahh, well MacArthur was a design choice by 2x3, so as USFFE goes under - he automatically assumes command of SW Pacific in Australia.

The Soviets, may have been from getting units from the August Storm scenario and putting them into this one - probably 2x3 assigned some of the same named leaders to different units in the Grand Campaign.

Of course... they could all be from different towns, but with common names (how many Smith's are there?[:D]).

he-he-he.. then all these "Smiths" should have their own entries in DB, i.e. different ids [:-]

By the way - thanks for sharing that, now I can go into the DB and reassign the duplicates.
As I have said before - you guys are my best error checkers, and I appreciate it [;)]

what´s that?

It is scientific approach generated by Woos-magic-machine, aka witpdecoder.

back line is VP ratio chart
green is differential function - VP changes
red is ~25% - 1:4 Japan need to keep for Auto Victory

so much to the not existing high fort levels at Manila. The already low forts were even more reduced! Supply level of the "soon POWs" is now nearing 0.

So far "soon POWs" killing Japs in numbers including those stripped from China [;)]

2nd of April 1942.

Today we have exclusive interview with top British ace FLT Yarra J.W. He got wounded during the fierce battle when he officially shot 8 (!) enemy planes, most of which were covered by various (insurance) bonuses.

FLT FLT Yarra J.W.: The real score was much bigger, I didn't get credits due to the problem in air force accounting system also known as "sync bug". Never mind, their bonuses are melting we are getting stronger. Death to 0&Oscars!

[:)] [8D]

After some break here we have an update..

Mid May 1942

LFLT Yarra J.W. is back to service! Hip-hip-hooray...

Manila is still "holding". Where the heck these battleships? [:@]

Soerabaja is still holding. Dutch don't need battleships, they have resource fields [:)]

Japanese arranged blood baths in Burma. We have to retreat to Mandalay.

Small groups of 30-40 LCUs keep fighting around Homan and Sian in China

Pacific is quite after last CV battle near the most important objective for Japanese - Norfolk Island [:'(]

BigB statue is ready and soon will be deployed [:D]

more to come..

Map showing Japan's possessions and major current sieges in the end of May 1942

June 1942..

Sword-of-Democracy (SoD) been upgraded with new 4E level bombers. Self repair instructions been delivered to every airfield [:)]
