enemy already attacks again and takes more losses than we do but I fear in the long run the loss ratio is going to favour the enemy...


Assaulting units:
87th Naval Guard Unit
86th Naval Guard Unit
18th Naval Guard Unit
3rd Indpt SNLF Coy

Defending units:
Van Aarsen Cdo
1st Garrison Cdo
Medan Cdo
Tapanoeli Cdo
Sabang Cdo
2nd Garrison Cdo
HQ TC Sumatra


today's SIG INT... while the enemy hasn't moved against Burma yet he's definately preparing for the move but he's also moving more units to Java to break the defense at Malang... with yet another IJA div going there I have not much hope to hold Malang for long...

15th Army is planning for an attack on Rangoon.
7th Division is loaded on AK Ayatosan Maru moving to Soerabaja.

damn... enemy gets a 1:1 now and the last fort level is gone... we take losses we can't afford and the battle seems to be sooner lost than I like... having our assault value at the base more or less halved with this attack it means the Dutch won't make it for long, the enemy has increased his base assault value to over 3000 which is quite insane... we have destroyed well over 1000 combat squads and have disable many more so the enemy is most likely fielding some 5000 base av on Java... against such a force the Dutch have no chance...

Fascinating to me that Mundy throws all those small units into the breach: naval guard units and SNLFs, airborne units that are battalion sized, even individual companies. I have only ever used formed divisions for major battles. It seems to be working, though...

About the Medium Bomber results - Sardaukar had good results in his most recent AAR post. (See below). The B-25D1 is an attack bomber but the B-26b is just a medium level bomber. Unfortunately we don't know how many of the hits came from each bomber type.

Morning Air attack on TF, near Emirau Island at 104,121

Weather in hex: Light rain

Raid spotted at 18 NM, estimated altitude 4,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 4 minutes

xAKL Yobai Maru, Shell hits 7, Bomb hits 2, and is sunk
xAKL Kumi Maru #4, Bomb hits 3, and is sunk
xAKL Kumi Maru #2, Bomb hits 3, and is sunk

That is because they attack at 1000 ft. With good Low Naval skill and that altitude, even ordinary medium bombers become deadly.

The strategic situation for Japan here is both ugly and hopeless. This game isn't going to make it to 1944. I don't understand the obsession with Malang, a base that can be easily neutralized, bypassed, and left to starve.

Plus quite a few other obsessions. Like refusing to believe that ships are vulnerable to massed B-17 attacks in port...multiple times. To extent not to even CAP properly.

Doesn't work for me. Have tried it on and on and on with 70 low nav skill Sallies/Helens/Mitchels etc. [:(] Had hundreds if not thousand trained pilots in the pools just to find out they "never" hit at 1000ft with reduced payload and take a huge morale hit. So next try in several games, 70 skill nav bomb, attacking at 2000ft. Same, literally no hits. Attacking from all heights, 2-6000ft, same. I have decided to completely stop now during this campaign and use the bombers I know they can hit ships.

I have not understood the obsession of killing strongholds either but I can tell you that at least halve of my opponents in all those years were doing the same, no matter if Allied or Japanese. There are bases I also wouldn't ignore either (e.g. Singapore, Rangoon) but Mundy cleared Singapore, brought everything to Luzon and then brought everything to Java. In the meantime he completely lost steam and I reinforced North of Darwin. Having such a position in the SRA I can only agree, if I won't win the war by the end of 43 something will have gone terrible wrong in my coming offensives.

first I've thought the enemy would be crazy to shock attack but it didn't go as bad for them as I would have thought... we are going to surrender soon at Malang but we killed two regiments of troops again today... the Dutch mountaineers will have killed way more IJA troops in the end than we lose Dutch troops even though we will lose way more victory points for ground losses...

what about that? I thought it was crazy to shock attack yesterday and thought it would be even crazier to do it again today but the enemy nearly took the base... all our units are horrendously disrupted and it's the first time we lose way more destroyed squads than the enemy... Malang is lost soon...

today's bad news as the Japanese finally capture Malang and have completely cleared Java... the Dutch fought extremely well in terms of inflicting losses to the attacker but in the end they still had to surrender and the winner are the Japanese... pretty sure we have destroyed more Japanese combat squads than we lost so I see the defense of Java a success in the long run even though Japanese squads can be replaced easily but it's going to take some time and it's also going to decrease exp in the Japanese units while they most likely gained more in the fighting than they will lose taking replacements...

as in the previous fights Mundy brought overwhelming force and went with his head through the wall but it has completely stalled his operations in other areas but he now has freed up quite an army for his next targets...

SIG INT reporting enemy units preparing for Ambon which is in the center of the Triangle of Death... if the enemy is serious going into this region it's going to be a Kamikaze mission... Ambon isn't the most heavily garrisoned base in the region but we do have a couple of Australian bgds plus support there so the enemy would need to land several divisions to quickly take the base against our entrenched troops there and it's going to be more or less impossible to keep us from reinforcing the base... a convoy was ordered to bring some more armor and another inf unit...from Darwin...

II/19th Naval Guard Unit is planning for an attack on Ambon.
