From Tromp's radio officer:
Announcing a new general
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 5:17 pm
Starting with the next turn Tabpub will be taking over Timor, Australia and New Guinea. Right at the moment he does not have any warships in his control, but does have a lot of airplanes and ground troops.
We believe that Timor is doomed, so we quickly decided to give it to the new guy.
Too bad he did not show up in time to take command of Singapore yesterday.

I have said it before but that is the funniest AAR to be seen here [&o]. But I just realized some days ago how much it is propaganda-oriented, when I checked the correspondent Japanese AAR. Both sides only describe their respective victories [:D] and the enemy losses 
rather than theirs.
Anyway your Allied team is really good. Saving all these troops and hitting hard IJN ships and aircraft in Malaya is an amazing achievement.

Losses? what losses?
On the losses inflicted front Malaya has been very good. Over 70 Japanese ships sunk in Malay waters,
and another 17 sunk at Saigon and Cahm Ran most of which were damaged off Malaya. We are going to sink some more tonight as well, and it adds up to over 10% of the Japanese merchant fleet.

You are indeed right about the reporting slant [:)] This is a war, the principals are naturally prone to inflate their successes and minimize their disasters..after all, they are either playing to the audience back home or trying to further their own careers..so they might be tempted to puff things up a bit.
For eg, our biggest disaster, the loss of 4 top of the line US CA's to Jap carrier attack didnt have a map...nobody lived to tell about it [:D] But, it did make it into the AAR in the form of letters of reprimand and snide international rivalries. You just have to look for it [;)]
Multiday disasters of large scope do warrant a map, review etc...see the "Slaughter Pen"[:(] The current slaughter of Allied fighters and merchies near PM will certainly get a map when they are done slaughtering our boys.
When we are done, it should be a hoot to read the Jap AAR and see all their propaganda.
China has got short shrift mainly because I cant remember the place names and all the units sound the same...plus the planes are so bloody ugly it is hard to get excited about it[:D]..but Tom has been kicking butt. There are even quite a few Chinese aces.
