Troops are stacking up at Shikka. Sadly, it takes quite a few days just to climb that mountain, even with a road. Colliers made over, refueling empty tanks on battleships.

Note subs watching straits.

Commerce raiders are only 20 days away - I desperately need them. Without their escorts I will keep having fiascos like the one courtesy of UB-143. Three AKs with tanks on them leave Pearl; one is sunk, another damaged in low 30s.

US Army scores an amazing dual victory. In the north, Shikka falls to 1st Cavalry; in the south Wotje to 1st and 2nd Infantry. The key part to those successes were bombardments by USN battleships.

I just wish three of them did not have to pay a toll for that.

The scenario is slowly approaching its end date, november 1923. It's obvious that Japan won; there is nothing I can do about it.

But what I can do is:

1. Establish a submarine base at Toyohara, earning as many as 40 surface ship kills in the second half of 1923. Remember, IJN is down to 1/3 of its original DDs, and half of those that are left are useless Asakazes.

2. Proceed along the axis Jaluit - Kusaie - Ponape slowly increasing my carrier presence there. I am hoping for IJN to go for an all-out attack in that area; I am hoping my Corsairs will be ready to meet them.

Any suggestions?

Well in the "spirit" of WPO ... any bases you have or can gain that support eventual blocade of Japan will earn "brownie" points at least. That was the strategy of WPO, obtain positions (such as Manilla, Bonins, Ryukus) which would support an air/sea blocade of Japan and cut her off from overseas imports. The dependency on imports was (correctly) seen as the Japanese weakness. So, regardless of outcome, that is the mission.

[Rysyonok]

The problem is that IJN can transport to home island so much by the time blockade takes place that any blockade becomes pointless...

[jwilkerson]

But not in reality .. hence the "spirit" word ... but also .. at least currently .. what is being transported is fuel and supply. And at least when I was playing ... operating every transport ship full time and I was just barely keeping up with requirements (though fuel was shortest).

If Tanker is decreasing Japanese merchant fleet ... and adds back in production system ... requiring resources and oil also to be transported, I'd think blocade could be made less of a "spirit" thing and more of a "real game" thing.

[Rysyonok]

I hope so

[Rysyonok]

FYI: This game runs on 1.15 version of stock WPO

I finally have enough C-type blimps (range 3500, yee-haw!) to make another squadron of them. Unfortunately, their HQ doesn't have enough supplies to allow me to do so. How can that HQ be short 30 units when the base has 7,000 extra is beyond my understanding. [&:]

Needless to say, No. 45 became No. 12 on the Japanese submarine casualty list. As my opponent remarked dryly earlier, to an IJN sub to 'sink on sight', means to capsize upon sighting an American destroyer

That was before my carriers (No. 45 went down from 2 hits from CVE Hornet).
