wheeew... a full KB strike against Port Moresby but the damage done is minimal as is flak effect... really amazing how bad these bombers perform on airfield attack as the weather sure is ok... KB won´t be a factor in ground battle at PM but it of course is when it comes down to resupplying/reinforcing PM... on the other hand, I´m glad KB is sitting there for weeks as I can freely operate on the whole map without having to fear KB pops up next to a troop convoy... and in a three weeks I´m going to have some 200 Allied fighters at the front, means Australia and all those will have 60+ skilled pilots so that should be enough to put up a fight, at least they should do well on Cap as we´ve already seen during the fights of AVG over Singapore... these fighters will be supported by Army and Marine dive bombers that should be operational within the next couple of weeks too...

another full KB strike for no notable damage... a pity I don´t have more flak at the base, while I would have seen it as quite decent until I saw the little effect it actually has... wonder how long KB will stay in place... there are more than halve a dozen subs operating against KB and the convoys around KB without any effect... more S-class subs are moving into the area to have some working torps for the fight...

holy crap! I´ve thought Singapore would be 100% safe for the next weeks after we´ve kicked out the Japanese and their return that also has been more than bloody but it seems the enemy was able to move in nearly 2000 av more without having to shock attack over the river into Singapore... damn, that´s really bad news, no chance to hold for our defenders now... considering we´ve destroyed over 700 enemy av and disabled probably more than this additionally I´m totally shocked that the enemy now still got 2700+ av to assautl our lines... still, I´ve never done even close to that much damage to an IJ player assaulting Singapore in all the seven years of playing WITP and AE...

we´re nearly done but hold a day longer... and another 50 IJA squads destroyed... in the end we will have destroyed far more enemy combat squads at Singapore than we lose in total there which is an exceptional result I think... doesn´t change the fact that the enemy gets far more points for destroying our troops there than we do...

I was first thinking mortar was trying to bring support troops to the "West" side of the peninsula but he said he "clicked one hex wrong". So I guess he clicked Singapore as destination if I get that right while he actually wanted to go to Johore Bahru like you. [:D] Oh well, just another boohoo, quite a couple already for only a good month into the war IMO.

the enemy finally is in position at Clark and if he really wants to achieve something then he needs at least a 1000 more av... we´re sitting in level 3 forts in a jungle rough hex with ample supply, what we lack are heavy weapons and especially flak...

ok, that´s it... with nearly 2800 enemy av assaulting Singapore in the end we had no chance... the defense still was a full success as we´ve actually destroyed enemy troops worth two IJA divs here due to the failed and uncoordinated enemy advance at the beginning of the assault... with 2800 av at Singapore, at least 800 av destroyed there and 1500 av at Clark Field at the moment, is there anything left to be used elsewhere at the moment? I think if mortar gets serious about Port Moresby he has to bring some units from Singapore (hopefully those that are trashed [;)]) and he has to use the rest to take Clark, otherwhise it´s going to be a halve year´s siege there... got no idea if he´s planning to achieve something more in the Pacific, I can´t do anything about the Philipines, Java is building up (at least the Dutch are trying to do so) and the Pacific is slowly but steadily being fortified and reinforced... main focus at the moment is Port Moresby but also there, with KB sitting off the coast there´s not much I can do other than watching the show... [8D] with nearly 300 P40/P39 in the area in a couple of weeks this could change slightly...

you may or may not be ok with the number of mines in AE but I have to say that if the numbers are reduced to literally non existing than you´ve also do something about the effectiveness of mine sweepers, not having them perform like in WITP... as it stands now, one of the biggest minefields on the map will be cleared by 4 minesweepers in not even a week... such a defensive minefield should be a problem for probably months and not even a week...

Situation report Port Moresby:

our troops there hold easily against the (reinforced) Japanese invaders, there are a couple of TFs in the area that don´t seem to really know what they should do... KB was spotted moving South again, away from PM which could open a chance for us to do something and punish such a move (any clue why KB is moving away leaving back those TF uncovered? [&:])... we´ve spotted several enemy TFs NE and E of Darwin, all heading South, that´s probably more for Port Moresby and/or Horn Island but as long as PM is in Allied hands I would see it senseless to bring more troops to Horn Island... wonder if KB really is moving further South or what mortar plans to do now...

lol, I just can´t believe that mortar is bombing Rangoon´s airfield on a daily basis but leaves the port nearly untouched (20% dam)... not only this, his airraids spot my freighters happily unloading there each day too but no attempts of sinking them... [:D] lol, does he think this supply will be his later on or does he just not care? All this supply is flowing to China... [:)]

enemy strenght at Port Moresby is far from being enough to achieve anthing there, think he needs at least twice the troops there... something mortar also realized and unfortunately more troops are on the way to PM already, see intel we´ve got this turn:

8/16th Engineer Regiment is loaded on a Japanese TK moving to Port Moresby.
5/11th Air Fleet is loaded on xAKL Korei Maru moving to Koepang.

an eng rgt is probably not the only unit being shipped to PM at the moment, but wth? it is loaded on a tanker??? [&:] I didn´t even know IJN tankers can carry troops but even if I did, I would have never thought someone would use a precious tanker to do that... intel about an enemy air HQ being moved to Koepang is really bad news too...

more troops unload at Horn Island... to mention the Japanese super hero amphib bonus again, this makes it possible for any IJ player to carry out his invasions like a wet fart as you just can bring in more whenever you want, not taking losses, no matter if atoll, jungle, base, dot base, no base, whatever... I know the reason behind the amphib bonus but the way it is used in the game makes it totally ridicoulos... take an Allied division, put it onto APA and AKA and land it with 0 preparation somewhere no matter at what date and see how it is 80%+ disabled... take a Japanese division with 0 prep, put it onto xAK and land it during the super hero amphib bonus timeframe and see it coming ashore 99% intact... yes, excellent and realistically... the amphib bonus doesn´t help taking the historical targets within the historical timeframe, it gives the IJ player an instrument to do crazy things carried out in a poor way and still getting away with it as if it would be the long planned Allied invasion of Okinawa late war... we spot so many convoys in the Horn Island area that I´m sure there will be another halve dozen convoys unloading at the atoll and it will do no damage to the Japanese...

real life invasion of Wake anyone??? ooops, Japanese amphib bonus must have failed there before it could really kick in... if there is something like a Japanese amphib bonus (that actually seems to origin from the well planned and executed landings within the SRA) then it should also be limited to those "historical" targets... for targets outside the historical landings, the Japanese should prep just as the Allied have to do because if there is a side that really knew how to do amphib invasions then it were the Allied from 44 on...
