A small trap....working on moving troops, saving troops, whittling down the Allied Air Force.

Deathstar is off Patani, with most of the Allied Navy. KB is off Borneo shepherding the movement of troops and supplies.

The great north....

I would imagine that the BBs are coming for you Size 5 runways.
Weather sucks so often than without carrier support, not too much to worry about air-wise.

Have you any mines around Bering Island?
If so, I would pull the bombers back to P-jima and hope a Naval strike would catch a mine-wounded BB retreating from the bombardment.

Bering will have mines shortly, and both islands actually have DP guns too.

Moving everything,sweeps don't fly...not enough troops to protect the next likely target of Vietnam.

New Month, Oscar IIa...a whopping 30 mph speed improvement.

Paratroopers take empty base.

Allied air power quiet....sweeps continue today.

Welcome reinforcement. Other CVs still in drydock, from a few days to a few months. Yamoto in two weeks.

Christmas in July?

Looks like Krampus is coming to visit, instead of St. Nick.

Wow. July 42 … that the allies are doing this speaks volumes about the impact of activating the Bear … Wow.

The only thing I can think of would be to flood the whole area from Java up to Thailand with subs (I mean like every stinking sub you've got) and fly lotsa NavSearch missions to get better detection levels for your subs... From reading so far it looks like you've got nothing to throw at the allied TFs that are infesting what should be your waters during this time frame of the war. You are really in that spot between the rock and the hard place here.

I'm really impressed that you haven't tipped over your king in this game.

The bombardment forces doesn't target the local troops present...which is bad for the scheduled shock attack later today....can the Allies use their cursed movement bonus to arrive in Georgetown and spoil the attack?

Will the Allies bomb heavily...

Silly question, Lightnings sweep the lrcap...and the heavies go in.

Can't even disable a single tank...I have two 39 AV tank regiments in the entire area and they aren't here.

I lack the troop strength to prevent further invasions up the Gulf of Siam, I lack the troop strength to save Vietnam.

Lack of aviation support is really a problem...

I moved all the supplies out of Tokyo for fear of firebombing...

Damaged large ships...

Sweeps fly...plus a nice naval bombard on the northern coast of Borneo -- that doesn't go without a cost to Japan.

I am having a tough time keeping even SR1 planes fixed...very little AV support.
