India/Burma
We sweep Mandalay again, but all aerial opposition has left the field. On the ground, the Allies try to counter attack our troops and do poorly, getting only a 1:7 result.
DEI
We get a sub hit from a Val at Sabang.
The Hudsons attack our ships at Damar and again miss. We also capture the base today.
Philippines
San Jose is occupied after our landing yesterday. Our Sallys from Manila hit Iloilo and do about 150 casualties. We now have troops closing in from both directions on Iloilo.
Pacific
Some of our Vals and Kates spot a big AV at Pago Pago and go in for an attack. 32x P-39D and 14x P-40E are on CAP. Our 79 Zero escorts do pretty well and we only lose 1 Val. Unfortunately we only hit AV Tangier with one bomb.
With all three divisions in place, we launch a Deliberate attack on Suva today. We get 1:1 (250:197) results, and drop forts to 1. Casualties are slightly in favor of the Allies, but generally even. With a 4:1 advantage in troops, this base should fall soon.
China
We switch our bombing to Siangtan today since there are troops moving west to Shaoyang and casualties are good there at about 400. At Shoayang, the Chinese try an attack but only get 1:3 odds. They lose 2400 troops to our 800.
We start bombing Liuchow, both because it is in the clear and we get good casualties, but also to slow down any Chinese troops making a move west to try and bounce us back into Nanning.
The Chinese try a shock attack here, east of Nanning, but our 104th Division and 23rd Army HQ have arrived and manage to hold the line at 1:1 odds. The Chinese take 2000 casualties to our 700 and that was with the 104th in Move mode. The Chinese are showing both disruption and supply negatives so any further attacks will probably not do much better.
Photobucket doesn't seem to be working today, so here is a picture of the Mandalay attack, with my apologies for not being centered or placed in the correct position.
