sweep mission over lucknow
42 zero and 53 oscar fighters met 12 lysander and 40 hurris
32 hurris and 10 lysanders shot for a price of 20 oscars and 1 zero
his exp pilots seems to be dead now
If Sneer trys that little trick again he will be cut to pieces.
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
I'm still looking at all of the new toys that the allies start getting. I would prefer to wait till '43 before I make a move, but still on my arse is not in my nature[:(]
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
and we entered may 42
I started training in China as some fighter units are in 60' and this is too low for me
Recon fron glens showed CA force heading south from canton isl and I tried to catch it
luckily for Raver weather prevented strike- i'll hunt it tomorrow - it can't escape far - 3 old asw DD were sunk

1st carrier division raided Palmyra tody after recon showed that Raver uses this route to move transports
he was very lucky yesterday as clouds prevented my strike
again it looks like TK will be hit
i think I can push sunk number to 40
it is interesting how many are on allied side 100?150?200?
is it possible to slow allied pace by sinking TK ???
he obviously will need a lot of fuel later

Sneer missed the troop transports by 2 weks......yeah more AKs and TKs hit, but the really important ships....the APs are still intact. As the allied player you can never seem to get enough APs........AKs and TKs are a dime-a-dozen. Must say that the naval search are really letting me down.....I've got 8 squadrons on Naval serch and the first that I know about jap carriers is when they are hitting me.[:-]

18 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.
Japanese Ships
CA Mogami, Shell hits 10
BB Fuso
Allied ground losses:
85 casualties reported
Guns lost 1
south pacific is abandoned by allied troops but in allied hands - Raver allowed me to take it as he knows he cann't defend it and I can go for it with 3+ div force any time I want- at this moment I don't want - I may want if I see troops there
all incoming troops are either stored in OZ or in NZ
central pacific- canton seems to built up slightly -seabeeses + probably some CD and INF units
palmyra not
my position in pacific is 100% historical besides I owe all NG
and it will be much stronger than original at right time

Ground combat at 18,58
I hope that when defence time comes my pilots will do their duties like Boston pilots did
It's interesting that Raver got those Bostons to fly unescorted. That isn't supposed to happen. They must have had very high experience, and even then, it's still strange.
05/16/42
no action again
Raver's chinase troops abandoned Ichang and Homan yesterday and I got confirmation from Recon planes
Sian troops number increased from 21 to 38
there are 2 possibilities
either it is troops dislocation and new defence line will be based on Yangtze River and Sian Ichang and Homan will be left for Japan without fight
or Raver is desperate to take Kungchang & Lanchow back or even want threaten Yenan
we will see
Red alert for China I'm ready to fight
Yellow alert for India - tank unit was seen south of Lucknow as Raver left forts with 4 units
One of the reason I left Lucknow was temporary empty manpower pool as in same time I got 4 inf div now I will gladly fight for attrition
especially I have reserves in rear bases and doubt Raver will be able to match them in 42
now I have both manpower and armament at 40k and rising so enemy is welcome
pilot program in china brings visible result
in a week time I should have all participants back at 75 exp
quite a lot of us subs were moved to palmyra/canton region
what was a date of us torp change ???
BB Yamato is in service from few days and heading operations area - info released from war information center.
Where are Raver's 4E bombers ??? Probably it is the only question i have every turn now
I have my air force dispersed as much as I can until I get info about them
