3 subs were sank by 4E bombers and a 4th by ships. All this for 2 torps fired at ships and missed. Tarawa has expanded it's AF to 4 so 4E bombers will soon by flying from there.
Only good news was that my ASW guys sank a sub and Bettys sank some MSWs that strayed too far away from their aircover. Spotted units at Chungking have fallen from 134 to 126 in the last month so progress is being made there. Attack should strat some time in mid to late June.

Operation Animal
so far things are more or less going according to plan. While Tarawa was more bloody than i thought in terms of capital ships damaged (1 CV, 2 BB, 1 CA), Lae fell alot sooner than i thought.
As usual my 4E bombers are performing superbly making life miserable for submariners and barges.
Good news today also. The CL Boise is back as a Cleveland class cruiser..(cue evil theme music)

I can just imagine that Tom is "thrilled" to have "that" ship back in action. [:D][:D]
Any Betty/Nell pilots will be awarded extra leave back to Japan for sinking it again...or something like that.[&o] [&o]

It will just be added to the long list of ships that my Bettys refuse to attack, my subs can't sink, or that my mines can't damage. [:@]

RE: Operation Animal
Very strange things happened this turn. 1st B-24s and LB-30s managed to fly 12 hexes from Tarawa to Kwaj eventhough Tarawa is only a size 4 AF. Sevearl valuable MLs were lost[X(]
Next, when I checked my top pilots I found that my top pilot WO "Bomber Killer" Handa with 17 kills is now flying a Betty in a squadron that just arrived. [:@] He had been wounded several weeks back but had returned flying a A6M3a in another fighter sqaudron. I don't know when he was transfered to bombers. Maybe Ben Afflec's transfer from P-40 to B-25 in "the movie whose name shall not be spoken" was the insperation for this. [:D]

RE: Operation Animal
Bug out from Kwaj is complete. Just checked past reports and saw that Chungking has dropped 22K troops and 800 AV in the last 30 days. I have redeployed troops and supplies to keep my Arty units at Chungking well supplied. A summer offensive may have a chance

RE: Operation Animal
Last minute barge evacution from Dobodura was costly. 25 out of 30 barges were sunk but some troops managed to escape and will regrow at Gastmata. Sadly they will probably die there but at leat they will not suffer the indignity of starving.
Chungking dropped another 3K troops and 73 AV. I think that there was a bug that directed some of my supplies to the Chineese. I pulled some troops out of Chungking and suddenly I am having success there. Hopefully this will continue and I can make progress against the forts come summer.

RE: Operation Animal
Kenny tells me that the AK hit last turn was carrying a SBD fragment and had to be scuttled. No SBD losses were shown on the AC losses screen but he did lose 22 total AC due to Ops this turn. Chungking dropped another 50 AV.

Para vs Para
Air drop at Dagua resulted in the capture of the USMC 2nd Para Reg. Although this only scored 5 VPs worth of ground losses the loss of this valuable unit should put a dent in some of Kenny's plans.

RE: Para vs Para

just a squad or two captured....most of the para unit is still at Lae
Phase 1 Complete
A month after Operation Animal started, Phase 1 is complete. The objectives (Tarawa, Makin, Lae, Gasmata) were secured, and are all operational. Losses were minimal. About 100-150 planes (mostly Op losses), 1 CV, 2 BB, 1 CA damaged. A few transports and MSW's sunk. Japanese losses were also minimal since they mostly bugged out. A handful of ML's were sunk, as were several submarines, and 1 DD.
Troops for Phase 2 are prepped and ready, and is slated to begin in the near future

RE: Phase 1 Complete
Bring it on.[:D]
Since Animal began on April 1st Kenny scored 509 points to my 446 for a net gain of 63 VP.
Most of the "Low hanging fruit" of the Empire has been picked. The next phase will be costly.
