Hi all,
I'm back after a week and a half in Spain. It took me a little while to get to grips with this again and what I was planning. Here is the AAR for 15th December. Not a lot happened to be honest. In total I lost 3 planes to Werner's 4. A couple of bases in the Phillipines fell to me. Frustratingly my attack at Davao failed. I will be dispatching more forces to capture it. The same for Amboina.
Kaga is a day nearer but flotation raised to 35! 4 or 5 days out of Kwajalein.
Mini KB is heading out near Tarakan to provide cover for the invasion TF. Bombardment TF's en route to Davao, Tarakan and Cagayan.
5th Division will attack Alor Star today.
2 of my 4 divisions scheduled for San Marcelino landed today. They will take the base tomorrow. The other should be there within 5 days. Next stop Clark Field. At present I think Werner still has a sizeable force in Southern Luzon (4 PA divs at Naga which my SNLF is holding). If he doesn't guess whats going to happen I hope to cut his forces into groups and will all being well be able to wipe him out easier.

Hi all,
A few more bases taken but nothing major.
I'm closing in on Tarakan but noticed has placed a small surface combat TF in it. I'm holding my transports away for a day or 2 whilst a BB surafce group and mini KB arrive to help.
More NLF's land on Amboina and Brunei. San Marcelino is taken. Hong Kong should fall tomorrow.
All - what format do you prefer I post this in? Full combat report? Narration? Pics?
Kaga is 4 days out and now at 53/31/0. Fingers crossed.
Regards,
Steven

A few more bases taken but nothing major.
I'm closing in on Tarakan but noticed has placed a small surface combat TF in it. I'm holding my transports away for a day or 2 whilst a BB surafce group and mini KB arrive to help.
More NLF's land on Amboina and Brunei. San Marcelino is taken. Hong Kong should fall tomorrow.
All - what format do you prefer I post this in? Full combat report? Narration? Pics?
Kaga is 4 days out and now at 53/31/0. Fingers crossed.
Regards,
Steven

Hi all,
I was fairly happy with this turn. Hong Kong falls to my victorious Empire forces. Brunei's resistance is ended with the addition of another NLF.
Alor Star was attacked and should hopefully fall next turn. My advance division should reach Kuantan in 2 days with 2 more brigades in 3 days. Hopefully I can capture it quickly and race west to cut off Werner's forces in the north.
Mini KB found a couple of TF's 240 miles SW of Tarakan. My pilots reported putting a bomb into St. Louis and 2 into an AK and the PG Isabel. Both TF's were reported to be heading SW. Maybe retreating. Nonetheless i'm holding my invasion force off shore for one more day until my CL/DD Surface combat force clears Tarakan and my BB force bombards it.
My ASW force found a dutch sub near Malaya. A torpedo hit my DD but a thuddening explosion was reported under the seas. The scumbag submarine is reported as damaged. My DD is in port and should survive.
Good news with Kaga. She is now 2 or maybe 3 days out of Kwajalein depending on damage levels. Flooding felt to 53/29/0. Looking good at the moment for survival.
A couple of my subs spotted Allied TF's west of PH. In one of Werner's distant e-mails he said he would hold Wake. He doesn't normally joke. I wonder. I'm sending 4 subs to the Wake area to investigate if any TF's come that way.
Next days hotpoints - retry at Amboina with 3 NLF's. Surface combat group will scout Tarakan. BB's hitting Cagayan to hopefully bag Forts. Hopefully will take Alor Star. Opening bombardment of Yenen. Kavieng should be taken.

Hi all,
Not as much succeeded as I hoped this day but onto the positive news first of. I received reports that Prince of Wales sank 240 miles south of Trincomalee. Woohoo [:D]
I also bagged S41 that attacked a destroyer in the South China Sea.
The other ship loss was the PG Isabel that took 2 bomb hits yesterday.
My attack at Amboina failed. I'm trying a shock attack today and if that doesn't work i'm gonna have to evacuate aand try again in the future.
My surface combat forces didn't reach Tarakan but both of them should do today (one of them including 2 x Ise class BB's). Reports indicate 3 TF's in Tarakan. Could be fun.
5th Division reported tough resistance at Alor Star but is deep within the enemy defences and the base should fall tomorrow.
Werner surprised me by bombarding Kuching with Dutch CL's and DD's. Little damage was caused.
Kaga is 1 day from Kwajalein but is now at 54/36/0! Hopefully she will make it and not sink.
All for now.

Hi all,
Kaga is in Kwajalein's minor harbour which will hopefully reduce the flooding to 0. Then next stop will be Japan. She is currently at 54/35/0.
As I thought Werner had a surface combat TF at Tarakan presumably awaiting my invasion fleet. My CL/DD force met up with Scout, Thracion and Thanet and blew them out of the water in return for a scratch on the paintwork of 1 of my DD's. Today Ise and Hyuga will shell the place whilst 2 SNLF's, Engineer Regiments, Armour units and a Base Force land.
Cotabato on Mindanao was taken which is good. 2 of the SNLF's there will land at Davao and along with another 2 reinforcements will support the Brigade and take it. The rest of Mindanao should cause me no concern.
By the end of tomorrow my 4 division should be fully ashore at San Marcelino and will then march to Clark Field along with a Brigade and assorted Engineer and Armour regiments.
Alor Styar did not fall which was a surprise. Should do this turn since the Imperial Guards have arrived along with an Armour Regiment.
Mini KB swatted a couple of AK's from the sea surface near Tarakan. She will remain in the area to support the landings.
Amboina has been a frustrating failure. Werner has 3 units there and my 5 NLF's all out of supply can't take the place. I'm going to leave it for now and when i've dealt with Davao I will transfer the Brigade further south to take it.
More NLF's, 1 acouple of Brigades, Engineer regiments, Armour and Artillery units are being massed at Saigon for future operations - either in Malaya if needed or if not Sumatra.
Guys a question - how do I obtain a screen shot from the game and post it here?
Here's the AAR........

Hi all,
Most went as planned today.
Alor Star finally fell and the addition of the IGD routed the defenders and pushed them to the West into Georgetown. This is good since It allows me to divide Werners forces and crush them piecemeal. He may withdraw to Taiping but if he doesn't he's dead in Georgetown. IGD and a tank regiment will move on Georgetown. 5th Division will move onto Taiping and then maybe to Georgetown if needed.
The first of my brigades reached within 60 miles of Kuantan and will bombard the Allies. The other division and regiment will reach the frontline on the 21st.
Ise and Hyuga found 3 transports in Tarakan which were despatched to a watery grave. Forces bgan landing at Tarakan. Will hopefully fall within 3 days.
G4M's now in the Phillipines preventing any shipping movements in the region. 1 more day and all 4 division's + engineers, armour and artillery will be unloaded and ready to move from San Marcelino towards Clark Field.
Kaga has stayed the same! Still 54/35/0! I'm moving the AR Arashi from Japan to help if needed.
Davao will be attacked again today.
My division sitting at Tavoy will now move towards Moulmein. Air support is at Tavoy now (Nate's). The 33rd Division is to head towards Luang Prabang and hopefully cut west to cut off any defenders near Moulmein.
Here's the report:

Hi all,
A fairly quiet turn. I captured Tarakan and all the oil and resources are at 100% [:)]
In the Phillipines my division are now moving from San Marcelino to Clark Field. Lets see how much Werner has there. There are at least 5 PA divisions away.
In Malaya the 48th Division has reached the Brigade north of Kuantan and both will attack today.
Positive news on Kaga - she is down to 54/24/0 [:)] Provided flooding goes down next day i'll move AR Arashi back to Japan.
I'll post a screenie of the Phillipines (providing i've done it all ok) in my next post.

A fairly quiet turn. I captured Tarakan and all the oil and resources are at 100% [:)]
In the Phillipines my division are now moving from San Marcelino to Clark Field. Lets see how much Werner has there. There are at least 5 PA divisions away.
In Malaya the 48th Division has reached the Brigade north of Kuantan and both will attack today.
Positive news on Kaga - she is down to 54/24/0 [:)] Provided flooding goes down next day i'll move AR Arashi back to Japan.
I'll post a screenie of the Phillipines (providing i've done it all ok) in my next post.

Thoughts
Hi all,
Some thoughts -
I'm avergaely happy with how things have gone. The damge to 3 friont line carriers is not good but at least Enterprise is gone and I will have 3/4 months to retrain the lost aircrews. I still have Akagi, Shokaku and Hiryu (or Soryu forgotten which one) + Mini KB and all still have quite a few planes and pilots left which is good.
I'm happy so far how things have gone in the the Phillipines. I am intrigued to see what he has at Clark Field. As I say my 4 divisions + 4 engineer Rgts + 2 ARM + 3 ART should all be there within 4-6 days. If I can take the place it will bring a swift conclusion to the Phillipines campaign since it will effectively spilt the island into separate pockets of resistance - 3 PA divisions in Tuegarao, 2 more in Naga. Presumably some forces in Manila and Bataan
Malaya has gone slower than I wanted. IF and its a big IF once more I can divide his defence then hopefully it will speed the fall of the peninsula.
I'm happy i've bagged PoW. Would've bee nice ot bag Repulse too. Happy with northern Borneo and the Invasion of Tarakan is the start of the invasion of Southern Borneo.
Now the downers - Amboina. I have 4 NLF's there and they can't take the place.
Davao - was hoping 35th Brigade could have taken the place but nope. In effect it has delayed the brigades use by over a week. Now reinforcements are there the place will fall within 2-3 days.
Loss of both I-121 and I-122 these were 2 subs that were sunk within the first 2 or 3 days of the war. Since they started out in shallow waters near Singapore didn;t have time to get thewm out of harm. Shame, I like these minelayers.......
Enough of my thoughts. I want some of your thoughts/opinions now -
1. How do you think my invasions of SRA have gone?
2. Future plans. I was thinking of mopping up The Phillipines and Malaya BEFORE moving onto Sumatra and Celebes/Timor and THEN onto Java. HOWEVER, I have a spare Division at Hong Kong and a Regiment and a Brigade at Saigon. I also have 6-7 NLF's + various ARM and Engineer regiments in Saigon. Now part of me is tempted to push these into the Celebes, Amboina and Timor NOW. I don't espect this region to be too heavily protected and and I think I could also use mini-KB + 6 BB's to support all of this. Right now Mini-KB + BB's are kind of useless since its a time thing until The Phillipines and Borneo fall. From the map Java looks to be getting well stocked. Virtually every base has an airfield icon on it. In time I will recon the whole place to see how well defended that is. Nowhere else in the SRA appears to have so many symbols around!
In short guys. Do you think I should wait and mop up The Phillipines/Malaya BEFORE moving into Sumatra/Celebes etc or should I use my spare units to launch this part now?
Regards,
Steven

RE: Thoughts
You should probably keep moving. Every day you wait, is another day your opponent can spend getting his house in order to delay you even further. Keep him off balance!

22nd december 1941
Hi all,
Davao falls! Hurrah. Now it's just a matter of mopping up the rest of the bases on Mindanao. Cagayan is the last significant place to take and 3 NLF's will land within 4 days to hopefully take it. I will then leave small NLF's to hold the major bases and i'll leave the Allied remnant to rot in the jungle. I don't see much point in chasing forces into the hinterland.
My subs have spotted a few TF's in the Java region. I'm moving mine around to hopefully evade ASW attacks. On the flip side my ASW TF formed from transport escorts in San Marcelino had success! Over the past 3 days my returning transports have been attacked repeatedly by at leats 2-3 subs. Accordingly I instructed the transport escorts to form a sub hunting TF. The 5 ships received 3 firm contacts and hits were recorded on 2 subs.
My attack on Yenen went fairly well and inrodes were made in the enemy defences. The attack is being pressed today.
Kaga rose again to 54/28/0! Arashi is en route to help. Current KB has docked at Truk and has taken onboard new planes and pilots. Troops are being loaded onto transports (South Seas Detachment, SNLF and 2 NLF's). Once all loaded KB + BB group will capture Rabaul.
I've taken Terminus' advice and in due course will move the 38th Division from Hong Kong to Menando then onto Amboina, Kendari and finally Timor. It will be supported by the brigade and SNLF currently on Mindanao.

Davao falls! Hurrah. Now it's just a matter of mopping up the rest of the bases on Mindanao. Cagayan is the last significant place to take and 3 NLF's will land within 4 days to hopefully take it. I will then leave small NLF's to hold the major bases and i'll leave the Allied remnant to rot in the jungle. I don't see much point in chasing forces into the hinterland.
My subs have spotted a few TF's in the Java region. I'm moving mine around to hopefully evade ASW attacks. On the flip side my ASW TF formed from transport escorts in San Marcelino had success! Over the past 3 days my returning transports have been attacked repeatedly by at leats 2-3 subs. Accordingly I instructed the transport escorts to form a sub hunting TF. The 5 ships received 3 firm contacts and hits were recorded on 2 subs.
My attack on Yenen went fairly well and inrodes were made in the enemy defences. The attack is being pressed today.
Kaga rose again to 54/28/0! Arashi is en route to help. Current KB has docked at Truk and has taken onboard new planes and pilots. Troops are being loaded onto transports (South Seas Detachment, SNLF and 2 NLF's). Once all loaded KB + BB group will capture Rabaul.
I've taken Terminus' advice and in due course will move the 38th Division from Hong Kong to Menando then onto Amboina, Kendari and finally Timor. It will be supported by the brigade and SNLF currently on Mindanao.

Hi all,
Today was the day of subs! The b*stard Dutch sub O19 put a fish into Atago that was en route to Kuching to support the upcoming landings at Singakawang. It may even sink!!! Damage is 50/43/15 from 1 torpedo! She is in Kuching port but this is only a size 3 and she probably won't make it. Not happy with that.
My sub I-165 performed well today though intercepting 2 lone merchants 120 miles off the south east coast of Java. Both were reported hit by torpedo and gunfire. She has been ordered to move 120 miles further south to avoid any incoming ASW patrols.
My Nells at Kuching finally launched hitting a retreating Transport TF and some MSW's near Palembang. Good job boys. Keep it up.
I will attempt to force my way into Taiping tomorrow since my bombardment attack revelaed only an Indian Brigade defending the place. The 5th division will hopefully sweep aside this temporary roadblock.
My main forces are 3-6 days out of Clark Field. The annoying march routine means that even with the follow orders 1 of my divisions will arrive 3 days ahead of the others but I won't stop it since it is involved ina follow movement which may mess everything up. I hope Werner does not attack when she arrives ahead of schedule. To prepare for the battle my air forces at Aparri and San Marcelino have started to bomb the airfield and will do so on a more regular basis now to prevent fortification construction and to generally disrupt the defenders.
Kaga looks ok now - 54/18/0.

Today was the day of subs! The b*stard Dutch sub O19 put a fish into Atago that was en route to Kuching to support the upcoming landings at Singakawang. It may even sink!!! Damage is 50/43/15 from 1 torpedo! She is in Kuching port but this is only a size 3 and she probably won't make it. Not happy with that.
My sub I-165 performed well today though intercepting 2 lone merchants 120 miles off the south east coast of Java. Both were reported hit by torpedo and gunfire. She has been ordered to move 120 miles further south to avoid any incoming ASW patrols.

Hi all,
Not a lot to report today. Many pieces are just moving in place for the next attack. The Rabaul invasion fleet has left Truk escorted by Akagi, Zuikaku and Soryu. BB bombardment group made up around Hiei and Kirishima.
Kuantan received a severe shelling from 4 CA's. My troops will march from the north and be near the enemy positions in 3 -4 days. I have another division at sea which will land also within 3-4 days. My attack at Taiping penetrated the first line of defences. The Indian brigade should not give more than 2-3 more days resistance before being forced to retreat. An attack will also be made on Alor Star by IGD + Tank Rgt.
The invasion of Cagayan has begun. An attack on the city will begin within 3 days.
Air attacks from Kuching hit more transports inbetween Sumatra and Borneo 2 of which sank today - AO Pecos and AP President Madison. An additional Daitai of Nells has been moved there to increase anti-shipping strikes. The invasion force for Singakawang will leave within 2 days. CA Atago is at 54/48/1. I still think she will succumb to her wounds in Kuching port.
Kaga is down to 54/16/0.

Not a lot to report today. Many pieces are just moving in place for the next attack. The Rabaul invasion fleet has left Truk escorted by Akagi, Zuikaku and Soryu. BB bombardment group made up around Hiei and Kirishima.
Kuantan received a severe shelling from 4 CA's. My troops will march from the north and be near the enemy positions in 3 -4 days. I have another division at sea which will land also within 3-4 days. My attack at Taiping penetrated the first line of defences. The Indian brigade should not give more than 2-3 more days resistance before being forced to retreat. An attack will also be made on Alor Star by IGD + Tank Rgt.
The invasion of Cagayan has begun. An attack on the city will begin within 3 days.
Air attacks from Kuching hit more transports inbetween Sumatra and Borneo 2 of which sank today - AO Pecos and AP President Madison. An additional Daitai of Nells has been moved there to increase anti-shipping strikes. The invasion force for Singakawang will leave within 2 days. CA Atago is at 54/48/1. I still think she will succumb to her wounds in Kuching port.
Kaga is down to 54/16/0.

Christmas Day 1941
Hi all,
Today bad weather swept much of the SRA severely affecting Japanese air efforts in the region. Many Betty and Nell air groups were ordered to attack enemy shipping but weather grounded most groups.
More troops are ashore at Cagayan which will be attacked today. The expected victory at Yenen never came! Huge losses were sustained whic hwas a surprise since we have penetrated the enemies fortifications. Resting will occur and 2 additional brigades will be brought. I will take Yenen!
The best news of the day came in Malaya when the 5th Division stormed Taiping. The Indian brigade there running away to the capital in disarray. Georgetown was also taken. It appears from interrogating survivors that the defenders were incredibly demoralised from the defeat at Alor Star. They were amazed that an 'inferior' being could have beaten them. Almost 12000 men were taken into captivity.
The 38th Division is being embarked at Hong Kong for its 1st destination - Menado.
Other than that my forces are moving into position. Rabaul will be invaded within 3 days (my carriers have been spotted). Armies will be in Clark Field within a day or 2. Singakawang will be invaded tomorrow all being well. Troops will be marched and ashore at Kuantan within 3 days.
Kaga is almost dry - 54/8/0.
Atago - 54/44/0.

Today bad weather swept much of the SRA severely affecting Japanese air efforts in the region. Many Betty and Nell air groups were ordered to attack enemy shipping but weather grounded most groups.
More troops are ashore at Cagayan which will be attacked today. The expected victory at Yenen never came! Huge losses were sustained whic hwas a surprise since we have penetrated the enemies fortifications. Resting will occur and 2 additional brigades will be brought. I will take Yenen!
The best news of the day came in Malaya when the 5th Division stormed Taiping. The Indian brigade there running away to the capital in disarray. Georgetown was also taken. It appears from interrogating survivors that the defenders were incredibly demoralised from the defeat at Alor Star. They were amazed that an 'inferior' being could have beaten them. Almost 12000 men were taken into captivity.
The 38th Division is being embarked at Hong Kong for its 1st destination - Menado.
Other than that my forces are moving into position. Rabaul will be invaded within 3 days (my carriers have been spotted). Armies will be in Clark Field within a day or 2. Singakawang will be invaded tomorrow all being well. Troops will be marched and ashore at Kuantan within 3 days.
Kaga is almost dry - 54/8/0.
Atago - 54/44/0.

Hi all,
Today was a good day in the airplane war for the Empire. My Zero's flying CAP over the Singakawang invasion force shot down 9 Brewster's for no loss. Also 9 precious Forts were captured on the new Empire base of Cagayan. Only Butuam remains in Allied hands on Davao.
In the sub war SS Sturgeon attacked a resupply fleet bound for Saigon. The fleet carries 135,000 tonnes of supply and fuel. The Skipjack attacked yesterday hitting 1 of the tankers (which will probably sink) but got pummeled by the escorts. Today Sturgeon hit another tanker (which will probably sink) but got away. Grrrrrrrr.
SS I-158 120 miles east of Java attacked CL Java reporting no hits but got gang-banged in return and sank.
Both Kuantan and Clark Field airfields were pummeled in preparation for the upcoming land battles. Advance forces should reach both bases in the next 24 hours.
AP's at Davcao are embarking Kure 2nd SNLF and 56th Bde. Target is Amboina. 38th Division has left Hong Kong bound for Menado. Mini-KB + 2 BB's groups will support these landings.
My damaged CV's (Kaga (54sys), Hiryu (41sys), Zuikaku (28sys) left Kwajalein escorted by 6 DD's bound for Tokyo.
Atago is at 53/40/0. Come on boys don't let me down.

Hi all,
Today was a day of action in the SRA. The centrepiece was Singakawang. I wondered whether Werner would attempt to interfere with my landings. He did with a cruiser/DD force. My covering force was outnumbered by my superior night fighting abilities pulled me through. Little damage was caused to my fleet. Whilst werener lost 2 DD's to direct action. He did atack my transports but they had finished unloading. 3 were sunk. During the day my Nells and Sallies from Kuching attacked Werner's retreating ships inflicting further harm. CL De Ruyter was reported dead in the water. CL Tromp was sunk. CA Houston was hit with 4 torps as were another 2 DD's with 1 torp. This should dent his surface fleet in the area quite a bit. DD Oshio was worst hit at 42/27/35.
Singakawang was stormed by paratroops later in the day. 12 aircraft were captured on the airfield. Supplies will be bought in and then planes will base here to cover further attacks in the western SRA.
Rabaul was laso invaded. The transports were covered by the guns of 2 BB's and fighters from 3 fleet CV's. Most troops are ashore and an attack will be launched today.
Forces have landed at Kuantan and initial forces have reached Clark Field and Kuala Lumpur. All 3 base will receive additional divisions within 24-48 hours.
My sub cordon spotted a TF heading towards Wake. I wonder what he is brining there. In time we'll see.
I'll show a screenie of the western SRA.

Today was a day of action in the SRA. The centrepiece was Singakawang. I wondered whether Werner would attempt to interfere with my landings. He did with a cruiser/DD force. My covering force was outnumbered by my superior night fighting abilities pulled me through. Little damage was caused to my fleet. Whilst werener lost 2 DD's to direct action. He did atack my transports but they had finished unloading. 3 were sunk. During the day my Nells and Sallies from Kuching attacked Werner's retreating ships inflicting further harm. CL De Ruyter was reported dead in the water. CL Tromp was sunk. CA Houston was hit with 4 torps as were another 2 DD's with 1 torp. This should dent his surface fleet in the area quite a bit. DD Oshio was worst hit at 42/27/35.
Singakawang was stormed by paratroops later in the day. 12 aircraft were captured on the airfield. Supplies will be bought in and then planes will base here to cover further attacks in the western SRA.
Rabaul was laso invaded. The transports were covered by the guns of 2 BB's and fighters from 3 fleet CV's. Most troops are ashore and an attack will be launched today.
Forces have landed at Kuantan and initial forces have reached Clark Field and Kuala Lumpur. All 3 base will receive additional divisions within 24-48 hours.
My sub cordon spotted a TF heading towards Wake. I wonder what he is brining there. In time we'll see.
I'll show a screenie of the western SRA.

Hi all,
This shows the western SRA at the moment. Note Werners TF's west of Borneo. These are the fleeing ships from last nights surface action. Also not my foces in Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur.

Hi all,
Afraid I don't have the AAR for today but it was a quietish day. The calm before the storm hits Clark, Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur.
My attack at Rabaul failed despite have the South Seas Detachment, SNLF + 2 NLF's!!!! I am bombarding the place again and have even set KB's bombers to bomb the troops. I know I will lose a couple of planes but I need to take the place quick so KB can mve to support operation deep into the SRA.
I'm happy with how things are at Clark Field. My division bombarded the defenders today. Werner has stationed 4 PA divisions + a couple of engineers and base forces. Total combat value about 400ish. I will have 4 divisions, Shuzan NLF, 3 ARM, 3 ART and 3 engineer regiments. If needed the 65th Brigade can march to assist within a week. I think I should be able to take the place with this. All forces should be assembled within a day. Bombardments will start and in time a deliberate attack will be made.
I am attacking both Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur on the 29th. Both have brigades defending them but I believe my divisions will be successful after a few days fighting.
I've attached a pic below showing the current situation in The Phillipines. I have arrowed where my main division are marching into Clark Field and have circled the spilt up defenders. I am happy to have broken his forces piecemeal. He has 3 PA division at Naga, 2 at Tuegagarao and 4 at Clark Field. Hopefully I can destroy them in groups.

Hi all,
Prgoress was made in Malaya today with Empire forces storming both Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur. The defenders were quickly overwhelmed and flight soon occured. Kuala's resources were badly smashed up though with 593 out of the 600 being damaged!
The rest of my army has reached Clark Field in the Phillipines and huge bombardment campaign will begin today. Werner appears to have reinforced the defenders with another division. I will post a screenshot next day of the strength of mine and Werner's forces.
The big frustration for the day was my attack at Rabaul failed despite a bombardment and bombing from KB! WTF! South Seas Detachment, SNLF and 3 NLF's can take it! I am landinh supplies to my men tomorrow and am loading up 2 more NLF's at Truk. I will take this place. KB will remain on hand to bomb him whilst my BB's head back to Truk to rearm.
Other than that my Kuching bombers blew up a Dutch MSW near Palembang and Martins from Java attacked my surface fleet at Singakawang, Forts from Phillipines and bombers from Singapore also attacked to minor effect.
Here is the AAR.
