16 January 1942

I killed an IJN sub off Soerabaja. I heard sinking sounds and confirmed this on the ship losses screen.

KXIII hit a transport near Singkawang, and left her burning. He's been hitting some of mine near Darwin, where he's got a sub parked. I'll need to drive that one away at some point. For now, I'm re-routing all convoys to approach Darwin from the east.

Fight's on at Iloilo. This may take awhile.

Fairly quiet everywhere else this turn.

All the fighters at Singapore are evacuated. I'll spread them out between Sumatra and Java. Base support for them is at a premium.

The 2/15th Punjab Battalion was one unit wiped out earlier. It looks like I can buy them back. I'll have them again in a month, and even better, they'll show up at Soerabaja.

The 1st Motor Brigade is the only Australian combat LCU east of Darwin. I'm shipping them off to Port Moresby.

Kurt's really cranking out the turns today.

Not much this turn, apart from some sub skirmishes. He's been attacking all the little craft at Singapore with his Netties, sinking about one per raid. Regular raids on Singapore and Bataan also. I've noticed flak claims about one plane per raid. Wonder if that'll add up.

He's been turning his attention to Palembang already, sending some sweeps and a raid over. I'm surprised I shot any bombers down with my Buffalos as they were training.

Subic Bay defenses couldn't land a single hit. Not sure if this is leadership, small target or experience. Exp is about 58 which isn't terrible. I'm wondering if Corregidor is overrated.

Check if any of the units at Subic Bay have radar. Most likely not, at this stage, and hitting small, fast moving ships from land is harder than hitting land from ships.

By not combining his Regiments into their parent Division the Japanese are making their assault on Singapore longer and bloodier than it should be. Regiments don't fight as well as the combined division does.

This is a modded scenario and I think the mod included not being able to combine regiments/brigades into divisions.

Cagayan falls, driving troop which didn't surrender east. Manus falls, being defenseless.

Manila Bay Defenses does have radar. Two SCR-270 radar sets both working. Endured another bombardment this turn.

More Palembang reinforcements should arrive in 2.5 days. The UK 54th Brigade, UK 55th Brigade, 118th Field Artillery, 148th Field Artillery, and the HQ for the UK 18th Division. These brigades have engineers, which none of the units currently there have, so I'm hoping this will help with the destructo part of the oil fields.

From Intel Monkey...
1942-01-25 2/122nd Infantry Regiment is loaded on a Yusen N Cargo class xAK moving to Puerto Princesa -

A group of IJN cruisers just bombarded there this turn, so landings probably aren't far off.

Kavieng was bombarded by two Kongos and Gasmata was hit by Yamashiro and two cruisers. Landings at Kavieng and Wewak this turn also.

KB and probably mini-KB are just south of Mindanao, moving east, apparently. Probably supervising the invasion there. Kates are doing some ASW work.

Attacks continue at Singapore and Tarakan. Bombardments at Bataan, as he's too weak there.

Zulu seems to think he's the worst Japanese player ever, but my own game against AW1Steve and Onime probably proved that wrong.

RE: Last deck chair on the Titanic - Mundy vs ZuluHour

28 January 1942

Cagayan falls. Remaining troops are holed up at Butuan. All 76 AV worth.

Things are getting too hot at Palembang for my ships unloading there. I've lost 3 transports, so I'm routing them to Oosthaven, which will make things slower. My fighter strength there has been decimated by his sweeps with me losing something light 8 for every one of his.

Tarakan, Bataan and Singapore still hold, for now.

I've been slacking with ship withdrawals, which came up pretty quickly. Not sure where I can do this on-map. Two are headed for Cape Town to do this. I've got six waiting to go with another coming up in about a week. After that, I've got at least 3 months until the next one. I'm in decent shape right now, in terms of Political Points. Units are organized a bit differently here with not quite so many restrictions, like in a normal game. Most of these crap units don't cost much anyway.

An AKV arrived in Cape Town. Don't really know what to do with her as no units are inbound at all.

Singapore and Bataan still bombed daily. Still claiming about a bomber per raid, so it adds up. Once he takes those two, I don't know how well I'll be able to resist.

My pool's building up, so I upgraded two B-17 squadrons to the E model.

Mostly quiet. Not much to do on these turns.

Revenge arrives at Cape Town. Be nice if I can get her with the ships at Madjene. That would be a surprise

Zamboanga falls. He landed about 3 days ago and only attacked this turn. Butuan is the only base I hold on Mindanao.

At Palembang, I've got about 780 AV in troops there, so they should hold awhile. The base info says no engineers, but there are some with the units there. Not sure why they're not showing.

A few days ago, at Palembang, he was attacking the little ships I had there. All my fighters were training. They avoided his sweeps, but then got involved with his bombers.

Looks like he is trying a very aggressive opening which bypasses some of your bases to come back and clean them up later. Hope you can use this to bite him with some behind the lines action!
