Time to take a count:

No, you cannot hold out and NG is far from a prison camp. You landed 1 Division in Australia. 3 new Australian divisions arriving as reinforcements over the next several weeks plus the one original I have in reserve.

I will walk up the road and take everything back without a lot of trouble.

Efate and Luganville will be bombed into craters and swept for mines followed by a quick anphibious assault and surrender.

What more could Tojo want? Not to lose 100 transports in 3 months I think.

You have thrown half the Japanese army in my lap for me to destroy. I predict a total Japanese collapse by mid 43´

Charter towers is an unexpected necessity.

 
I love proving Sir Ike99 wrong.

You´re dreaming if you really think you can hold those spots for 6 months.

If Ike9 was more conservative as an allied player he might still have townsville.  Instead he put 2 divisions early into PG.

I think I have plenty of time.

At this rate you´re not going to be able to float rubber dog sh!t out of Hong Kong much less reinforce or supply any gains your making.

Ouch, almost 50 IJN transports in the first two months!

BTW, why is Iwaki Maru listed twice?

Paint error.

looks like an all or nothing effort. this game will be over in 1/1/43 one way or the other it seems.

Too make scrambled eggs you have to crack the egg shells first.
 
If I lose I will try something different next time.  My IJ experience is low.  I am having fun.  SirIke99 is drooling.
I still think of Ike as a japanese player, Ikesan99 sounds better than SirIke99.

Charter towers is turning into a IJA hell hole.  Fort down to level 2 but LBA from Cairns has reduced IJA 2 division attack to 1-1.  2nd rece and 38th tankette failed to stop a move of a northern force brigade into charter towers.  1st AUS brigade is on the move headed north from Rockhampton.  The 17th Army is faced w/ winning or being destroyed.

Allied prep for an Efate invasion continues.

Allied LBA has closed the Townsville Airfield.

August42 has just begun and the IJN continues to lose one transport a day to allied search mission.  I can understand why Ike did not participate much in the AAR of our last game.  Very early in this game and I feel the momentum shift to the allies. 

Not a good situation so early in the game. I counted 62 transport losses.

Australians set up the coup de grace for Japanese 17th Army

Allies have a new airfield & McArthur instructs the bomber crews for operation Big Drop.
