October 2nd, 1942
The Dayafter. Well more B-24's struck Port Moresby, but luckily they were fewer in number and barely scratched the paint! Enough Cap flew to down several bombers this time, but the base still hasn't totally recovereed. I still have 50 damaged planes repairing therer; including 16 Tony's and 6 Tojos.
Well I kept shooping around Baker Island with 2 Cls and a CS and guess what I found? The Saratoga and the Wasp! Aparently he believed I was still going to invade Baker Island. He claims he saw tranports in the area, but the only AKs and APs around were ferrying reinforcements and supply to Tarawa and Apamama. Dam I wish I would I wouldnt have done this quite yet. The KB is still in Japanese waters! Plus the CVL "kb" was also too far away. I'll move in that direction in ase he decides to bombard Tarawa before turning for home.
I am thinking that I will continue with the Thursday Island/ Merauke operation for now.
Forces are moving in to place in China and as the 1st Tank Division arrives in Nanchang!

RE: October 3, 1942
October 3rd, 1942
I was under the belief that planes had to fly at 100 feet in order to attack PT BOats and Barges, apparently this is only for PT Boats (aaarrrgggh) US SBDs strike at and sink a couple of barges; Floyd said they were on regular Naval Attack above 5000 feet! This just makes me hate those dam PT Boats even more!
A section of the AVG is met at Yenen and it causes some damage to my bombers and escorts. Strangely the Zero datai mostly turns and runs....I find this strange b/c they are decent pilots (75 exp), and well rested. ANother section of the AVG is also flying out of Kohima (or Imphal) sweepsing Myitkyina. But my attack at Yenen reduced the forts to level 1! Pretty funny the Engineer Regiment still hasn't arrived! I'm gald I decided to attack w/o them! With a little luck I may be able to take Yenen in 10 days. I am now definately not going to use the 1st Tank Division at yenen, but in central China instead.
The Saratoga and Wasp pursue my scout force and finish off the other cruiser. Luckily the Cs and two DDs escape, unluckily a small Surface TF Floyd detached was not struck by my SALLYs at Tarawa.

I was under the belief that planes had to fly at 100 feet in order to attack PT BOats and Barges, apparently this is only for PT Boats (aaarrrgggh) US SBDs strike at and sink a couple of barges; Floyd said they were on regular Naval Attack above 5000 feet! This just makes me hate those dam PT Boats even more!
A section of the AVG is met at Yenen and it causes some damage to my bombers and escorts. Strangely the Zero datai mostly turns and runs....I find this strange b/c they are decent pilots (75 exp), and well rested. ANother section of the AVG is also flying out of Kohima (or Imphal) sweepsing Myitkyina. But my attack at Yenen reduced the forts to level 1! Pretty funny the Engineer Regiment still hasn't arrived! I'm gald I decided to attack w/o them! With a little luck I may be able to take Yenen in 10 days. I am now definately not going to use the 1st Tank Division at yenen, but in central China instead.
The Saratoga and Wasp pursue my scout force and finish off the other cruiser. Luckily the Cs and two DDs escape, unluckily a small Surface TF Floyd detached was not struck by my SALLYs at Tarawa.

RE: October 5, 1942
October 5th, 1942
Boy I have fallen behind in updating! Been very busy at school and off season football planning.
His 4 Engine bombers reclose Koumac airfield after I sneak a wee bit of supply in by air. I am also seeing more Wellingtons in the Burma sector.
He is still being very hesitant in his attempts at La Foa. If he just attacked there every other day I'd be in big trouble.

Boy I have fallen behind in updating! Been very busy at school and off season football planning.
His 4 Engine bombers reclose Koumac airfield after I sneak a wee bit of supply in by air. I am also seeing more Wellingtons in the Burma sector.
He is still being very hesitant in his attempts at La Foa. If he just attacked there every other day I'd be in big trouble.

RE: October 6, 1942
October 6th, 1942
The game must really hate me. I attack Yenen with 1:1 odds and my engineers reduce the forts one level and I receive 5 times the casualties of the defenders. He attacks Myitkyina, reduces the forts with a 0:1 odds, and I receive 50% higher casualties then him! That just really sucks!

The game must really hate me. I attack Yenen with 1:1 odds and my engineers reduce the forts one level and I receive 5 times the casualties of the defenders. He attacks Myitkyina, reduces the forts with a 0:1 odds, and I receive 50% higher casualties then him! That just really sucks!

October 7, 1942
October 7th, 1942
Troops continue to unload at Thursday Island. But for some reason the game engine would not let me transfer my RUFES on to my AVs yesterday and that leaves these TFs with no organic air cover, which is only exacerbated when my 3 datais of A6M2s apparently do not fly LRCAP from Port Moresby!
Allied 4 Engine monsters from Noumea hit Luganville again, and again less then 50% of the TONYS assigned to intercept do. His other air assets in the region continue to pound my troops on New CAledonia, but he again does not assault them.
At least his B-24s attacking my TFs atThursday Island have allowed Port Moresby a small respite.
My plan in Burma failled miserably! My 49 TONYS were easily handled by his 13 Spitfires and 11 Hurricanes; I lost 14 in a2a, to his total of 9! In total I lost 29 TONYS today...thats three days production, but whats far worse is I lost several pilots above 80 experience in Burma! Are his SPitfire pilots that good?

Troops continue to unload at Thursday Island. But for some reason the game engine would not let me transfer my RUFES on to my AVs yesterday and that leaves these TFs with no organic air cover, which is only exacerbated when my 3 datais of A6M2s apparently do not fly LRCAP from Port Moresby!
Allied 4 Engine monsters from Noumea hit Luganville again, and again less then 50% of the TONYS assigned to intercept do. His other air assets in the region continue to pound my troops on New CAledonia, but he again does not assault them.
At least his B-24s attacking my TFs atThursday Island have allowed Port Moresby a small respite.
My plan in Burma failled miserably! My 49 TONYS were easily handled by his 13 Spitfires and 11 Hurricanes; I lost 14 in a2a, to his total of 9! In total I lost 29 TONYS today...thats three days production, but whats far worse is I lost several pilots above 80 experience in Burma! Are his SPitfire pilots that good?

RE: October 9, 1942
October 9th, 1942
My bombers from Mandalay hit the Allied Forces besieging Myitkyina, but fly unescorted...again! Luckily for me most sneak by the Allied CAP.
Troops continue to unload at Thursday Island.
Tow major air attacks launched in CHina, a mediocore one versus Changsha, and an excellent one against Nanning, At Nanning Subaro Sakai and the 1st Tainan Datai help down 10 Hurricanes flying CAP over the base.
He bobmards my Tank Rgt at Hengchow, but this allows me to see that all he has there is a baseforce and a batterd corps. I will attack as soon as the Infantry or Tank Division arrive in Hengchow.
My troops north of Perth attack, but fail to achieve a 1:1 this time.

My bombers from Mandalay hit the Allied Forces besieging Myitkyina, but fly unescorted...again! Luckily for me most sneak by the Allied CAP.
Troops continue to unload at Thursday Island.
Tow major air attacks launched in CHina, a mediocore one versus Changsha, and an excellent one against Nanning, At Nanning Subaro Sakai and the 1st Tainan Datai help down 10 Hurricanes flying CAP over the base.
He bobmards my Tank Rgt at Hengchow, but this allows me to see that all he has there is a baseforce and a batterd corps. I will attack as soon as the Infantry or Tank Division arrive in Hengchow.
My troops north of Perth attack, but fail to achieve a 1:1 this time.

RE: October 9, 1942
Try to disrupt his ground forces from the air. Concentrate as much of army dive bombers, as you can - chinese troop are weak with AA, so those anns and marys can strafe unpunished. Perhaps you will not see too much casualities but his disruption will rise quickly. 100 dive bombers will set disruption of 1 chinese corps up to 70-80 in single day. So, 4 of them will require week of intensive bombing. Bring airframes from manchuria, to do this. If you will successfull in doing this - it will reduce allied AV by 75%, and you will take yenen easily.Ground combat at Yenen

Then your tank division should pursue them.
Also use another airfield for level bombers to keep pressure on Yenens airfield. And at least 3 recon chutai should fly there.
Do not split your airforces between south and north china - you need to chieve "critical mass"

Thanks I have been hitting him every ccouple of days with a Lilly Sentai and chutai, plus two Sally sentais. I have upgraded nearly all of my Marys and Anns to Lilly and then to Sallys and Helens.
My Tank Division is unavailable since it has now encircled Hengchow.

Sad, i think that was a mistake.
level bombers does not have a nearly such effect as diving - and without disrupting his land forces it will be hard or impossible to capture yenen. It is the city hex, and defenders hace high bonus even with forts 0.
You will need at least 150-200 level bombers hitting his ground forces from 6000ft to achieve a result as 100 DB can, operating from 20000ft.

October 10th, 1942
Yeah a succesful ASW attack against the Argonaut, which unfortunately can not be followed up upon, even after several other ASW Attacks.
We each make a bombardment run with cuisers; both are mediocore. My assault on Thursday Island fails to achieve a 1:1 which somewhat surprises, but we will wait and try again.
I think I see an opportunity to p[ush Floyd back on to the defensive. The KB is being sent to Kwaj and to keep him guessing I will send the CVLs to nibble at his supply lines south of Noumea.

RE: October 10, 1942
What's what at Hengchow!
He moved in a fresh Chinese Division to go with the Corps I recently chased from the "suburbs" of Canton". Should I attack the city with just my Tankers, or wait a day or two for the Infantry Division and Brigade to catch up?

Floyd is really being "wimpy" at La Foa, he attacks get 1:1, but suffers high casualties and waits almost a whole week to attack again.

The previous two pics were results from this turn.
As I said Floyd needs to be a little more daring and I'm a sure with my nearly extinct supply on New Caledonia that constant action would shoot my disruption and fatigue through the roof.
My attack on the road to Perth failled miserably. I may have lost all chance of taking Perth now. But in northern Ausralia I drove the 1st Australian Division out of the defensive postion it was holding with ...I'll post a pic.
Floyd mistakenly or unwisely leaves a British Hurricane Squadron at Yenen and they get mauled.
Troops are loading at Truk for another adventure. Still looking at the Canton, Baker, Wallis Island sector, but I still wonder about New Zealand ( I have a brigade preped for Auckland).

La Foa
This is the current state of affairs at La Foa. I believe that if Floyd would "Deliberate Attack" on a regular basis he would destrroy my troops on New Caledonia. The fact that he was only achieved 1:1 odds and has been taking heavier casualties then my forces is making him hesitant. I think he should continually attack until his disruption hits 40.
