Main reason. Docup sweep with small 15 plane units. After initial fast dive phase they where eaten by 300+ plane CAP. Especially by J2M5(those planes are great for CAP).
Quantity has a quality all its own

[aciddrinker]

anything interesting going on?

[koniu]

Docup is on vacation with family.
We will back to game after weekend.

From recent news
Docup capture Woleai. It can be opening move toward Marianas or attempt to secure right wing before major move toward Mindanao

[koniu]

Just to bump on first page.

I will do today proper situation report.
With maps and all that stuff

Thanks.
We both committed to game so i believe it is grate chance that we last until 1946.
And because game tempo is not fast right now it is big chance that we will celebrate 5th birthday next year

[koniu]

OK, time to catch up with AAR.
At first some economy. I think economy chart is saying everything

[koniu]

Air Production
As You can see pools are full. I even stop production in some factories to balance engines

[koniu]

Now some maps
Thailand. Almost in allied hands. Remnants of Japanese forces are holding Saigon area.
I have there 700AV total. They need to be evacuated. Over 3000AV is marching toward Saigon from.

Another big army is between Udon Thani and Ubon. I suspecting ~5000AV.
Last turn Docup capture Hue. I am preparing defense in Vinh area

[koniu]

Another interesting area is neighborhood of Ambon.
Docup capture lot of bases in area. He is strong there and it is impassible that next push allied do will be there. I am still holding major bases like Kendari or Manado.
But next probable push will go toward Mindanao or Badeldaob

[koniu]

China is quiet. Nothing change since last 6 months.

In Pacific I holding strong in Marianas. Everything south is controlled by allies.
Truk is isolated and mostly evacuated. I have there 200AV force.
Rabaul in Japanese hands but out of supplies for more than Year now.
Last tun allies capture Woleai

What is trapped in Malaysia/Singers?

Java and Sumatra are empty only ENG units and small garrison units left. Maybe 400AV total.

~2000AV total is between Singer and Chumphon(3xID, 200AV of tanks and some smaller units), but i will not call them trapped.
Naval traffic between Singer and Philippines is open and only danger right now are subs.
I plan to evacuate most of important troops and reinforce China and Philippines with them

Palembang still producing 10000+ tons of fuel daily, and tankers are working hard.
Actually i am able to transport fuel faster that Palembang is able to produce it.
In entire Sumatra there is now ~30k fuel and 30k of oil. ~100k fuel is loading on tankers in Singer as we speak

2 March 1945

Es near Singer force to surface and sunk enemy sub. Still few more is operating in area but Docup move them more East behind effective air ASW range

CAP trap near Ambon. Allies lost 60 planes when they try to sunk two DDs that move to close to Ambon. Japan lost 4 planes and 2 pilots

Carrier TF that was escorting invasion that landed in Woleai few days ago was detected near Rabaul.

4E bomb Sabang destroying 17 G3M3(naval search mission). I move bombers to different location.

3 March 1945

South of Saigon xAP eat TT from enemy sub. Ship will survive. 8 super Es send to hunt that sub down.

Medium tanker sunk by British sub near Balikpapan. ASW planes and 4 super Es moved to that area.
