Glorious news! Your first, I guess? It's almost as good as your first child being born. [:)]

Lost a hex to the IJA tanks, but they are really shot...

First attack at Lashio, IJA Division and Regiment with some support...rebuffed. Got leadership prep...

Finally our Canton Invasion force is going in....lots to learn as an Allied player, I probably should have pulled this off at least one month earlier.

IJN is making an appearance, and we have two forward PBY bases to help with scouting.

Japan has 3 Naval Guard units present and one Aviation support unit (I think), the atoll has been damaged for a long time so forts 2 maybe? Not many engineers present...

No mines.

Invasion tomorrow....will there be a CV clash?

Invasion performs well. Relying upon our forward flying boats an IJN response was not expected, and indeed it seems that the Japanese were evacuating the island.

It is a big ocean....will pull back the capitol ships and move forward using smaller vessels...the goal is Tabby... and west to the Solomon Islands but putting at risk smaller ships only.

Baker is a very small atoll and can be suppressed by air power from Canton once it is repaired.

Will be rotating our main effort now towards Marcus Island and thinking about the Marianas.

Mines, PT boats, floatplanes will play a role in defense of our forward islands. The Americans are constrained by a lack of amphibious craft this early.

One tactic I didn't use during the invasion of Canton, was to have some bombardment ships merge with the invasion fleet after the first unloading phase. Something to remember for the larger invasions coming.[:-]

Always amazed at how far ahead you think things through - like the NS squads for a test post-invasion! Hope you let us in on the test results. [:)]

But where are the granddaughter pics!
