Troops continue to pour ashore in Malaya, and the phillipines
He has concentrated his fighters in Singapore, and I have concentrated as well, but no clash yet.
16th army begins its move towards Ambon, Dilli and Kendari.
Akagi takes a SS torp whilst covering...aaaargh!
In China Miller has scattered troops everywhere, it wack a mole at the moment
I am not planning much for China, its get troops uncounted to Burma front
Turns are flipping, and its been a fun game so far.
Miller is tricksie !!!!

Just got into this. Like the idea of the smaller Japanese conquest followed by a strong defence and a mobile counterattack reserve. Can't wait to see how it pans out.
Good to see you two going strong here again!

Scene 1, stock, PDU off
Only house rule, no PP to be paid for India, china and Manchurian units, so
Burma will be interesting
This AAR, will be a what Japan is doing to give
Millers comments context
Not sure if he is doing an AAR yet
I am torn to do another story..............but little ship that could editing is getting on.
As Japan I am going to try a tactic I personally have not seen on the AARs, but that
has worked twice now with allied concessions late 42
Japan will only sieze DEI, Burma, Darwin, and as far south I will go is Hollandia, horn island.
All those troops usually used for Solomons and Port Moresby will go into a ready reaction
counterattack, and to fortify a much reduced defensive ring
And the fleet , the fleet will wait for one great decisive battle............
Can't wait to see what happens. Count me as subscribed.

We land at Dilli, Ambon, beola, and Kendari in one big operation covered by KB
This is all standard stuff, we have all seen it before
What I am doing different is 15th army is deployed in Malaya, and the honkers div is going to the phillipines
Miller has evacuated to Singapore, is fleeing to Bataan.
Every Sally is bombing Manilla, and all the lilly bombers are in Malaya
China, whack a mole continues
Fun game

What is the situation with Akagi. Is she still operating or did she have to be pulled out for repair.
What did you find at Darwin?

Hi
Akagi is home safe, a month in docks
Darwin is taken after 2 days, he had a few extra troops in there
Dilli is taken, so is Koepang.
Huge problem at Singapore, lightly, or totally unescorted Lillys and 2 squadrons of Betties
attack Singapore, and meet 80 plus P40's!, 80 plus brewsters
Its not pretty
Also, a CV has been unloaded somewhere, carrier DBs, devastators and their Brewster escorts were
in Timor, and smashed 10 AK's.
They have vanished
This only confirms my tactic of cutting the re supply line to the DEI
Miller is going to concentrate I think everywhere, my tactic, I think, is to do the same, crack one nut at time

A difficult proposition. How to counter an early war concentration of Allied forces. What is your plan for cutting the Allied line of supply. You certainly have a tricky opponent who is prepared to offload carrier planes and use them in unexpected locations.
Those unfortunate Bombers over Singapore. Have you tried any sweeps and did the escort decide to have a day of peace?
A shame to lose the services of Akagi at this time but at least she will return.

You have 30 days to use the Akagi groups as LBA ... they are a potent force ...

Well, the problem I see with the decisive battle tactic is that the Allies need only one win one decisive battle, and Japan needs to win about 6 of them decisively and consecutively.[:(]

Miller did the exact same against me at Singapore, and I was pretty poor in responding to it.
What you need to do now is concentrate your air power. Get every Zero and Oscar (Nates are deathtraps) that can fly over to Malaya, and sweep, sweep and sweep some more. The Allies are remarkably brittle in the early war months - sustained combat will empty their pools very quickly.
Break his fighter strength with your own fighters, forget about bombing for the present, and keep your air power concentrated. Miller's strategy works only if he can locally outnumber you - if you're sweeping him with 100 Zeros or Oscars and then following it with bombing raids, he can't compete. It may slow you down in some areas but that's offset by the early depletion of Allied fighter pools
