Carrier Division One, returning from the South Seas, diverted to intercept a probable merchant ship headed NE. It failed to intercept but got a track about one day's sailing North: the enemy appears to have evaded the division. This division is damaged, has few sortees remaining, and is bound for Japan. One more attempt will be made to intercept without sprinting. This division is NE of Canton Island (which may be operating search aircraft).

Carrier Division Two, headed to the South Seas, shed a carrier with systems damage to join the least damaged carrier of Division One at Truk, with a view to creating a new carrier Division. The other two carriers are continuing their move to the Tahiti/SLOC
area, in hopes it is a surprise and disrupts the enemy badly - catching relatively unorganized forces with valuable cargoes like land units and air units and vital supplies and fuel (or even oil for Australia). This division is SE of Makin Island.

Carrier Division Three: In port at Shanghai, completely repaired up. Should sail today for the SRA and possibly the Indian Ocean.

Carrier Division Four: The CVL force: East of Manado, supporting the invasion of Celebes, this group will retire to Palau to refuel, rearm, replace losses and repair minor damage.

14th Army is investing Manila and Clark with a view to capturing them. Reinforcements are moving to join the assaulting forces.

16th Army reduced the defenses of Malaybalay, Mindinao. It will continue to
attack (with possible pauses) until it is captured.

15th Army is moving to contact with SE Burma.

24th Army is reducing the defenses of Johore Bahru and mopping up 3 units
in central Malaya.

23rd Army (Pearl River area) is moving to contact at Wuchow.

13th Army (East China area) is moving to contact at Fu Chow.

12th Army (Yellow River area) is moving to clear the enemy with a wide sweep of the left flank rather than force a direct river crossing. The object is to capture the Chengchow Area.

1st Army (Yellow River area) is very successfully moving down the right flank minor railroad, and may beat 12th Army to the critical RR junction at Tungkwang.

The Mongol Garrison Army (North China area) is reducing Sinn Sien.

Kwangtung Army (Manchukuo and Korea area) is moving to mop up the Anti Japanese Army which has units on LOC.

First, note that as of yesterday, Japan has achieved a 1:1 victory point ratio. This compares to 0.6 to 1 at game start. This was achieved in just under 20 days. Wether 4:1 can be achieved in 1942 is unclear?

Carrier Division One, SW of Johnston Island, failed to find the lone ship it was hunting (likely a fast AP), and is retiring for repairs on Yokosuka. It has enough sortees left to be dangerous. It needs considerable shipyard time to repair medium scale damage to two carriers as well as light damage to Kongo, Tone and Isokaze. The least damaged carrier (Akagi) and escorts were detached in the hope they can repair at Truk, and join the new Carrier Division Five.

Carrier Division Two is due West of Carrier Division One, but outbound, undamaged,
and looking for enemy ships in the Tahiti area. It is assumed this will be a rich hunting ground not yet prepared to fight a major incursion. One damaged carrier
(Shokaku) has left the formation, returning to Truk for repairs to form the new Carrier Division Five. This formation will refuel today or tomorrow from a replenishment task force in its path.

Carrier Division Three is sailing down the relatively uncontested Eastern side of Formosa, bound for Cam Rahn Bay to join the Indian Ocean Force forming there.
Most Battle Squadron One, at Palau, is sailing to join it. The Imperial Guards Division, at Bangkok, is embarking on an amphib task force, to join it. Carrier Division Four is nearing Palau to refuel and rearm (after raiding in the NEI). This CVL force and many elements of independent surface forces will follow in the next two or three days.

Carrier Division Five is not yet formed. It will form at Truk when its elements are fit for combat. It will also return to raid the Tahiti/SLOC area just as it is assumed to be in a recovery mode from previous raids. The enemy must either abandon the SLOC
or attempt to build it up. A near term build up by piecemeal forces should provide both victory points and seriously compromise fighting in the SRA so vital for Japan to conquest.

In the South Seas, Rabaul is being built up. The South Seas Detachment is marching on Port Moresby from Kappa Kappa. The Maizuru 2nd SNLF landed at Lae today and will attack tomorrow. Buki Island base, held since the war began, is providing forward recon and fighter cover for these operations. Other task groups are trying to build an unusual LOC to the South Seas by sending engineers, aviation support and ground defense units to Howland Island, which already has a major runway, but no port. It is hoped this base may function to support a continuing stream of raids into the SLOC area.

16th Army, in the Eastern NEI and Southern Philippines, has a forward base at Babo, New Guinea. This provided recon support for the invasion of Ambon, which fell on the first assault because it was attacked by the entire 4th Division. Manado fell to two large brigades. Both of these bases are being built up. As well, Kao in the Moluccas, an undeveloped but major base site, is being expanded by engineers. 16th Army is also mopping up Mindinao and planning to invade the Visayas between it and Luzon.

14th Army is mopping up both North and South Luzon, partly aided by an airborne SNLF capturing undefended sites. Fortifications were reduced at Clark and Manila.
Both sites have an additional division walking in for the final battles. After that,
Bataan and Olongapo must be captured, but there are few units defending them.

25th Army is attacking an isolated brigade in Central Malaya, moving to contact with surviving elements a brigade and a base force in SW Malaya, and is reducing the defenses of Johore Bahru with a view to capturing Singapore. Bombers continue to sink ships evacuating troops at Singapore every day. 25th Army is preparing to use the First Airborne Force (a two battalion formation) to cut off the retreat of units across Southern Sumatra to Oosthaven, where presumably they cross over to Java.

15th Army is crossing the Thai-Burma Frontier. It is also preparing to seize forward airfields by air assault, using the Yokusuka 2nd Airborn SNLF. This unit is spread out around Malaya, where it seized mainly undefended locations. It is now moving to an air base just North of Bangkok, where air transports (presently in Indochina airlifting in the First Airborne Force) will meet it. In addition, a seaborne invasion is assembling with heavy surface and carrier covering forces at Cam Ranh Bay.
The Imperial Guards Division is the first element of this force, and it is loading at Bangkok.

23rd Army's lead element, an infantry group, invested an abandoned Wuchow today (on the Pearl River). It will capture it tomorrow. Other elements are moving East to Kukong, and West to Foshan. The object is to capture as many locations as possible to reap resources and supplies, as well as to capture the RR LOC. It is hoped 23rd Army can force the collapse of the defense of Changsha by threatening its rear, either from the Kukong approach, or from the Liu Chow approach. In order to pre-empt enemy air power - strongly augmented by the AVG - forward air bases are being attacked in South China.

13th Army, in East China, having secured the E-W RR LOC, is moving on Changsha from the SW approach to pin forces which otherwise might support defense against the other drives on the key city. There are no less than four different drives on Changsha.

11th Army is the closest to Changsha - one hex out in woods. It pins a major force simply to keep it out of the city. Other, mobile forces are moving to threaten the land LOC to the city. This army has a second drive using the 34th Division from the NE. The 6th Division, having cleared guerillas from the Wuhan area, will back it up.

12th Army is farther North, near Kaifeng, trying to breech the Yellow River Defense Line. It has major forces on the left flank, and these are moving to contact, threatening the enemy main forces in flank and rear. But 12th Army itself will attack via the main road directly across the Yellow River when the defense has been weakened enough. This may happen if the enemy moves units to avoid being encircled.

First Army is on a drive down a minor RR on the right flank of 12th Army. It is making unexpected progress and may itself cause the enemy to abandon defending the Yellow River with is major urban hexes and "swamps" (flooded areas). It is also moving to contact.

The Mongol Garrison Army, with mixed NCPC and IJA units, is at Sinn Sien. It cleared the northern RR LOC (again) today, and will be reinforced by two full sized divisions for the final assaults. One of the units in the city must withdraw due to disorganization of most of its infantry squads. Light units (cadets, cavalry, occupation troops) are moving to secure its right flank along the Northern Yellow River (where it is frozen at this time of year).

Major transport and ASW forces are assembling in the Yellow Sea area to move significant numbers of resources, some oil, and troops which will become reinforcement for drives in the SRA.

Minor operations continue in Manchukuo and Korea against three different enemy raiding forces which are all on land LOC.

Carrier Division One, with two significantly damaged carriers, is retiring from a position SE of Kwajalein (about three days sailing distance), to Yokosuka, and needs nine days to reach port. It is expected to need several to many weeks to repair damage. It may be possible to split the two carriers between different ports to speed the repairs. Akagi and most of the escorts formerly of this group are due South of Tarawa, five days sailing distance from Truk, where it is hoped it can repair up and join new Carrier Division Five.

Carrier Division Two is at Howland Island, headed outbound for the Tahiti area
to disrupt the US-Australia SLOC. It is down to two carriers, having detached Shokaku back to Truk after casualties appeared at sea. It has arrived at Truk and needs five days to repair. About the time it is ready to sail, Akagi will arrive. At that point Carrier Division Five will form, or Shokaku will simply become a backup element of Carrier Division Two. BB Hiei returned to Truk with Shokaku, for the same reason, and needs about three days to repair system damage.

Carrier Division Three is South of Formosa, 2.5 days sailing from Cam Rahn Bay base. It has four medium sized carriers with overstrength air groups. It has an unusually strong escort of two 16 inch gun battleships (Nagato and Mutsu), and a full flotilla of destroyers. It is planned to coordinate this with an amphibious group, the battleship group, and the CVL Carrier Division Four group, potentially forming the most powerful naval force in the world in about a week.

Carrier Division Four refueled at Palau, and most of it will now sail to Cam Rahn Bay to meet the forming Indian Ocean Force. It has substantially absorbed a cruiser destroyer flotilla. However, damaged cruisers and destroyers will repair system damage at Palau before proceeding to Cam Rahn, in part to avoid overloading the repair assets in Indochina.

Most of Battle Squadron one is one day's sailing West of Palau, also bound for Cam Rahn Bay. Battleship Ise remains at Palau fixing system damage. Note all four of these old battleships have lost their two center turrets and are armed with only eight 14 inch guns, but have common power plants with the Kongo class, and a similar speed, making them a better tactical combination with fast carriers.

14th Army is going to attack both Clark and Manila tomorrow. Both positions picked up an additional division to add to the assault today. The enemy controls only five hexes on Luzon. One is undefended, three are relatively weakly defended. It is expected Luzon will be mopped up entirely in less than 10 days.

16th Army is mopping up Mindinao. MalayBalay fell today, but none of the 7 units present was wiped out. The retreated into the jungle with no source of supply. There is one isolated unit on the Western tip of the island in addition. 16th Army is planning for the reduction of the Visayas. Farther South, it is reinforcing newly captured Manado and Ambon, as well as Babo on New Guinea, which was captured at the start of the war. Finally, Kao on Helmahera is slowly being built up: a location with large base potential, it is not yet useful for anything. It is planning for operations against Celebes, Borneo, Timor and the "lower islands" East of Java.

25th Army wiped out a brigade in Central Malaya today, and captured the entire RR network. It will move its main forces South to capture Johore Bharu and Singapore.
Enemy cruisers and destroyers were sighted yesterday SE of Singapore, and recon reports they are now at that port. [Recon says there is also a carrier present] Since the Army must generally move to contact, air power will attempt to engage enemy ships in the area for the next couple of days, while units and supplies move forward.
Two enemy units at Port Swettinham may be engaged tomorrow - no other enemy units exist in Malaya North of Johore Bahru. This army is planning to invade Sumatra, and is assembling a powerful Airborne Force to try to disrupt enemy units withdrawing across that island.

16th Army, in Thailand, is slowly moving into Burma on three axis, mainly along secondary roads. The first border crossing will be in about three days, but more than a week is needed to reach the other two crossings. Once forward airfields are captured, some units will airlift into Burma. A division has left Bangkok to attempt
a seaborne invasion in about ten days time: powerful surface forces are going to meet and combine at Cam Rahn Bay to facilitate this move. A second division will probably begin loading at Bangkok today if sufficient transport can be organized.

23rd Army is mopping up the Pearl River basin, mainly because the enemy is abandoning it. It has two offensive prongs moving toward Liu Chow and Kukong.
Cooperating Army and Navy air units have begun to reduce enemy forward airfields to prevent any more surprise enemy air operations hampering this force. 23rd Army's mission is to threaten Changsha in rear, and to draw forces away from defending direct approaches to Changsha.

13th Army is moving West toward Changsha. It also intends to capture Nanping on its Southern flank. It has isolated Wenchow and will reduce it later. This is to be the second major drive on Changsha directly, from the SE of the city.

11th Army's main drive is one hex due East of Changsha. It pins some enemy units and is occasionally harassing them with artillery bombardment. It has a secondary drive threatening Changsha from the NW of the city. Only one division strong at this moment, it will soon be joined by a second division. This army is expected to be the force that actually invests the city first.

12th Army is in the Yellow River plain area. It is the most powerful force in all of the IJA. It has many units which have driven around the flooded area of the river and
are about to threaten the Yellow River Line on its right flank (the Japanese left) and rear.

1st Army is slightly farther NW of 12th Army, coming down a different part of the Yellow River, covering the right flank of 12th Army. It is making unexpected progress down a relatively minor LOC - a minor RR with a minor road. It may force the enemy to divert forces from 12th Army's area of operations - which are in open country - which is why the majority of IJA tanks are operating with 12th Army. 1st Army is only two hexes from the important RR junction (and river junction) of Tungkwang - and only four hexes from Sian - which is the objective of both 1st Army and 12th Army.

The Mongol Garrison Army is at Sinn Sien with a mixed force of IJA and Chinese Axis units. It has secured all three land LOC to the city and will now concentrate on reducing its defenses.

Anti-bandit operations continue in Manchukuo and Korea. Only one of three enemy units is actually engaged. They cannot be reached by RR and so units must march to contact along (secondary) roads.

A major shipping force is assembling in the Bohei Gulf to move reinforcements to the SRA as well as resources and oil to Japan. One of several enemy subs in the area was hit twice today.

Carrier Division 1 (CVs Musashi & Kaga) is East of Kwajalein, bound for Yokosuka,
and will need weeks or months to repair. It is believed this force sank or achieved mission kills on two enemy CV (only one of which is admitted to be sunk).

Carrier Division 2 (CV's Zuikaku & Yamato) is at Howland Island, having refuled from a tanker force which has newly replaced its tankers, having dispatched its nearly empty tankers to dump their remaining fuel at Kwajalein and then to reload at Truk. This force will drop South to the SLOC from the Western Hemisphere to Australia, and then sail East to Tahiti, and thence NE toward the US West Coast, seeking to sink all enemy ships it can find.

Carrier Division 3 (CV's Hiryu, Soryu, Hiyo & Junyo) is less than 36 hours NE of Cam Rahn Bay. It will form up as part of the Indian Ocean Force with Battle Squadron One, CVL Carrier Division Four, and Amphibious Flotillas One and Two.

Carrier Division 4 (6x CVLs) is one day West of Palau, bound for Cam Rahn Bay. It will join the Indian Ocean Force.

Carrier Division 5 CV Shokaku is at Truk. It needs about 4 days to repair. CV Akagi is just under 4 days SE of Truk. It is hoped it can repair at Truk and join the Division. BB Kirishima is with Akagi.

Battle Squadron 1 is one hex SE of Zamboanga (Mindinao). It is bound for Cam Rahn Bay to join the Indian Ocean Force. BB Ise is at Palau. It may rejoin the Squadron, or it may be sent to Truk to join Carrier Division 5.

Amphibious Flotilla 1 is near the Southernmost tip of Indochina. It has the Imperial Guards Division embarked. It is bound for Cam Rahn Bay to join the Indian Ocean Force.

Amphibious Flotilla 2 has just left Bangkok. It has the 33rd Pack B Division embarked. It is bound for Cam Rahn bay to join the Indian Ocean Force.

14th Army captured Clark today. It also reduced fortifications at Manila to zero.
Troops in Manila need several days to recover. Troops at Clark need several days to reinforce Manila. In about 4-5 days, the reinforced force at Manila will assault again - and possibly capture the city.

16th Army needs to mop up Mindinao and then capture the Visayas. It needs upwards of a week to turn Babo (New Guinea), Manado (Celebes) and Ambon into functional bases. It will then capture Kendari and/or Timor.

25th Army needs to capture Johore Bahru and then Singapore. After that it will invade Sumatra and build up an air base complex near Palembang to contest air control over Western Java. It may also invade Western and Southern Borneo.

16th Army is about to enter Burma by three landward routes. It is preparing an airmobile invasion to increase forces in Southern Burma rapidly once a forward air base is captured. It is assembling the Indian Ocean Force at Cam Rahn Bay to land two divisions to cooperate with the overland invasion. One of those divisions was formerly assigned to 25th Army, but not needed for any operations.

23rd Army will capture the Pearl River basin, but is redirecting its offensive toward Kukong, and then along the road/railroad LOC toward Changsha from the SW.

13th Army has made contact with the enemy and will attack and move toward Changsha from the SE.

11th Army, attacking Changsha from the East, suffered terrible casualties today in its 13th Division. That division will withdraw to rebuild and be replaced by another Division after Wuhan can be reached by rail.

12th Army, the strongest anywhere, is enveloping the Yellow River Line from the Left.
It is moving to contact and will probably clear the line in about 10 days.

1st Army is advancing on the Right of 12th Army and is moving so fast the enemy may retire from the Yellow River Line prematurely.

The Mongol Garrison Army is trying to reduce Sinn Sien. Its Second Independent Mixed Brigade is in such bad shape it will withdraw to Peking to rebuild. This will be replaced by the 29th Class B Division.

4th Fleet, in possession of Buka Island and Rabaul, needs to capture Port Moresby and Lae. This may require more troops.

Anti Guerilla Operations in Manchukuo are attempting to wipe out one battalion.
They are moving to contact with another battalion in Manchukuo and one in Korea.

1st Army: (farther North in the Yellow River area): Moving to contact at Huo Ma on the right flank of the 12th Army, this force has a minor RR and minor road LOC. It is being reinforced because it threatens the enemy position with a drive on the critical RR junction at Tungkwang as well as the major city of Sian.

Mongol Garrison Army (at Sinn Sien in North China): Badly defeated today (mainly due to mountains; also due to not assigning units to the Army HQ). The 2nd Independent Mountain Mixed Brigade must withdraw. Will wait for reinforcements (20th Division) for the next assault.

Assaulting units:
Yoko 3rd Airborn SNLF /1

Axis Password ADMOZAWA

Carrier Division 1: SW of Wake. Retiring on Yokosuka.

Carrier Division 2: Well NE of Samoa. Moving to the SLOC just West of Tahiti.

Carrier Division 3: Cam Rahn Bay. Topping off air groups and fuel. Some ships will repair minor damage. Will join the Indian Ocean Force.

Carrier Division 4: (the CVL force) West of Zamobang. Moving to Cam Rahn Bay.
Was able to refuel but not rearm at Palau. Will join the Indian Ocean Force.

Carrier Division 5: 1 CV & 1 BB at Truk, 1 CV & 1 BB retiring to Truk, to relieve Carrier Division 2 in the South Seas contesting the build up of enemy SLOC bases,
and to sink ships and their cargoes, removing them from the contest.

Battle Squadron 1: 3 BB and escorts 12 hours from Cam Rahn Bay. 1 BB, 1 CA and several DD at Palau probably will rejoin the force before it leaves Cam Rahn.
Will Join the Indian Ocean Force.

Amphib Flotilla 1: Unloading the Imperial Guards Division at Cam Rahn Bay. Will reform and join the Indian Ocean Force.

Amphib Flotilla 2: 36 hours from Cam Rahn Bay. Will unload the 33rd Class B Division (Pack) at Cam Rahn Bay. Will reform and join the Indian Ocean force. One ship loading stragglers at Bangkok may rejoin the flotilla after it departs Cam Rahn, unless it arrives in time to depart with it.

Tanker Flotilla 1: NE of Wallis Island. Will retire and "hide" there, repairing minor damage.

14th Army: Reducing the defenses of Manila. A new division arrived today. A regiment arrives tomorrow. A tank brigade and an SNLF will reinforce in a few days.
Manila will probably be assaulted in two days and again in 4-5 days.

16th Army: Mopping up the Mindinao Force. Also trying to find a Philippine Constabulary Regiment alleged to have formed at Zamboanga - where it does not
seem to be any more. These jungle campaigns may require time to move to contact.
Manado became an operational air base today. Ambon became an operational naval base today and will become an operational air base in three days. Numbers of reinforcements have diverted to speed this process. Ambon is the assembly point for the assault on Kendari and Makassar. Balikpapan will be taken from the South to avoid the narrows complicating the approach from the North.

25th Army: Moving to contact at Johore Bahru, harassing shipping evacuating troops from Singapore. Preparing for an invasion of Sumatra which will involve the first regiment sized airborne unit (the First Raiding Force).

15th Army: Will attack Kawkareik in the "center" of the three secondary road
approach routes tomorrow. Other forces moving to contact along the Northern
and Southern routes (the Northern one has a one hex gap in it). Still other forces
are standing by for capture of a forward air base to fly in their lighter elements.
But two divisions are assembling at Cam Rahn Bay for a seaborne assault to
rapidly reduce the defenses of Burma.

23rd Army: Captured Namyung (SE of Kukong) today. Moving to capture Kukong
in force. Secondary operations will clear the lower Pearl River of enemy units and capture local industry. Will move on Changsha from the SE.

13th Army: Captured Fu Chow today. Will move on Changsha from the East.

11th Army: One hex from Changsha. Recovering from an attack with terrible casualties. Withdrawing two divisions which were trying to encircle Changsha to reinforce the main body of the Army. The route LOC is contested by a small unit.

12th Army: Successfully forced the Yellow River Line today, at the price of a badly mauled 27th Division. The force that forced the crossing needs to recover. Ming Kang was also captured. Also a river crossing operation and also with casualties.
In both cases enemy casualties were much greater. Major elements have enveloped
the entire area from the SE, and include two uncommitted tank divisions and the one artillery division (called an Artillery Group when assembled. This force will fall on
the Yellow River Line cities in rear, although the enemy may withdraw from them in part before they can be invested. It plans to drive on Tungkwang.

1st Army: Will attack Huo Ma today. Another division is now in position to rail in.
But this army is limited by the logistic capacity of a minor RR. It may force the enemy to abandon the Yellow River Line because it threatens Tungkwang sooner.
That critical RR junction is only two hexes away. So far this modest force has captured every position on the first or second assault.

Mongol Garrison Army: Recovering from a bad battle at Sinn Sien. Waiting for reinforcements before the next assault. This mountain fastness is difficult to capture.

Two of three enemy units in the rear of IJA - in Manchukuo and Korea - are now being engaged on the ground. All are being harassed by air strikes.
