Heavy sweeps at Manila lay waste to American fighters; 30 P-40E go down to the mighty Zero. That 30 might be over inflated as I note the list of credited kills below.

It looks like Bill got some new toys on the table; he's gone up 1098 VP points according to Tracker over the last two days. I've increased by 52 points over the same time frame.

I bombarded Kwangchowan and, noting what I'm up against, I've ordered a D-ATK this turn.

At Chunking my bombers attack unopposed and I do good damage to the air base and runway.

At Lingayen I bombard with my 48th Division to get a feel for Bill's defenses. He has the 11th and 21st PA Infantry Divisions plus the 86th PS Coastal Artillery Bn. I've got almost 3:1 in attacking force troops VS defending forces. My assault value was 468 VS his of 218. Those are numbers that make me smile. I order a deliberate attack for next turn.

Burma
The 33rd Division of the 15th Army finally catches up to Bill's 1st Burma Division at 56,50 - just NE of Prome. The 33rd plans a shock attack on the morrow, with bombers assigned to attack during the day to slow down the enemy unit's movement. At Prome is the 2nd RTA Division, which is moving to 56,50.

At Rangoon I split the 6th RTA into thirds so I can garrison Prome, Rangoon, and Bassein. Units are moving to their assigned locations.

At Toungoo I've got a gaggle four divisions plus the 15th Corps HQ. Two divisions are making way to Magwe and two are headed to Meiktila.

Aleutian Islands
TF76 from Sendai is in route to Paramushiro-jima with the 25th Ind. Engr Rgt. To help build up the airfield, port, and fort infrastructure.

Carrier Group 231 - Code Name Little Wing (2CVE 1CL 4DD) currently located @ Paramushiro-jima has just finished adding aircraft to the fighter and dive bomber groups. I pulled half the pilots from all four air groups into TRICOM. Little Wing will remain near PJ for another turn or three before joining as air support for the amphibious assault of Adak.

Amphibious TF80 - Code Name Five Iron - is just south of Hokkaido and in route to Adak with the 61dy Infantry Division loaded.

Amphibious TF206 - Code Name Parking Lot - is following behind Five Iron by a pair of hexes. Parking Lot has both the 5th and 144th JAAF AF Battalions loaded as I suspect Adak will need immediate air support.

Borneo
My ground units at Sambas were re-supplied by transports from Miri. Another DATK ordered. The two enemy LCU are identified as the 106th RN Base Force and the Sambas Base Force.

Malaya
The 18th Engr Bn & 8th Tank Rgt are in route to Mersing. The 1st Tank Rgt is already there. Two enemy LCU are there. I'll fly recon and bombers under escort to identify and dust up Bill's troops.

Th 21st Division and the 14th Tank Rgt @ Malacca are moving on Johore Bahru. Also at Malacca are six divisions that are unpacking from using the rail system. They'll be making their way down south in a few turns.

Notes from a theatre general in Borneo:
At Sambas, Borneo, the mighty Imperial ground forces drive out a pair of allied engineer units. All the civilians are happy to be free from under the reign of those allied units. Of note, we utilized special forces that have been practicing to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. I would also note that at least their ground combat skills seem to be adequate. I suppose I'll have to gather some transports and see how this whole jumping-out-of-airplanes thing goes. All I can say it that it'll be a cold day in hades before they get my fat arse to jump out of a plane. Heck - I don't even like flying in the darned things!

I moved a group of Zeroes to CAP Johore Bahru and I have a bunch of LCU in route to support the base. This will also be my jumping off point to hit Singapore. A mouse over shows Bill has lotsa fighters over Singapore. This will be my first real test of air strength.




I have 10 divisions for the assault of Singapore. How many should I use in the river assault? I was thinking 4 divisions for the first crossing. After that the remainder of my troops should be able to cross without invoking the shock attack penalty of crossing the river - right?

Mersing is defended by the Mersing Fortress and the 22nd Australian Bde. I bombarded on the 23rd and will DATK on the 24th.

Philippines

I've given the green light for assaulting Clark Field this turn. We'll see how it goes but it looks like Bill is trying to gear his troops to fall back to Bataan along historical lines.

Use divisions you plan to employ quickly to other areas in the 2nd wave as the first wave will take the bulk of the disablements and take longer to recover.

Use divisions you plan to employ quickly to other areas in the 2nd wave as the first wave will take the bulk of the disablements and take longer to recover.

That makes sense. In truth, I'm kinda expecting to get most of my troops hammered at Singapore. It started the game @ level 3 forts and it's the end of January and I've done zero attacks against the base - so my wag is that Singers must be at least a level 5 by now...

○ I transferred over an AG of 27 Zeroes to Magwe to fly CAP. Magwe was captured with the oil field and refinery intact. I wanna keep it that way.
○ I tasked an AG of 12 MC-21 Sally to fly over a fragment of the 94th JAAF AF Bn to Pegu. This is literally the Sound Detector(J). I see a Cargo Load Cost of 60 tons, Total Load Cost of 60 tons, and a stacking Cost of 20. The MC-21 Sally has a Maximum Load of 3,000 tons. In truth, I'm not sure why the Thaila AG was unable to transport over the Sound Detector(J) as the Thaila can transport 2,000 tons and the load cost under electronics is listed as 30... Range was not a factor as Pegu is 9 hexes out while the normal radius for the Thaila is 12 hexes…

Near Serasan Bill runs in a SCTF consisting of a CA, 8CL, and 5DD. Although greatly outgunned, my Japanese SCTF patrolling the waters near Groot Natoena stands up well in the first engagement of the night - sinking a DD and scattering hits throughout the rest of his taskforce. 92% moonlight and the ability of Japan to cross the Allied force's "T" impact the combat heavily. In three additional night-time engagements the Imperial Japanese SCTF throws itself between the enemy and their obvious goal of Groot Natoena. Japan's SCTF shrinks in size over the engagements as ships either withdraw due to battle damage or are sunk outright in the furious night-time conflicts. The allies make it all the way to Groot Natoena only to find another Japanese SCTF consisting of a pair of cruisers and three DD. Having already been engaged in near continuous combat from near Serasan to Groot Natoena, the allies are nearly out of ammo when they run into the new Japanese task force. In the end the loses seem to be even; a pair of CL and DD are reported lost for each side. Japan cannot go toe-to-toe in losses against the allies but Man!!! That was a cool movie to watch.

§ At Wenchow I'm awaiting the arrival of another Division before I kick off an attack at that base.

§ At Kanazawa I have the 52nd Division awaiting transport to the PI. They should be loading onto transport next turn.

§ At Sendai I'm loading the 2nd Division for transport to Singora.

§ Over W of Lashio my DATK netted 1-1 odds. I'm waiting for more troops to arrive as I'd like overwhelming odds if I can get them. There are an additional 5 Chinese LCU at Lashio now… I'm wondering if Bill is trying to Sir-Robin the Chinese out through Burma?

• 15-16FEB42

China
® I brought in another transport air group to Hankow to help fly supplies to Ankang.

Malaya
® My DATK @ Singapore reduced the forts to level 3. I had 2:1 odds and still came out a bit worse for wear. Time to wait a few days and try again. I still have the 4th Division coming from Johore Bahru plus the Southern Army HQ. I've also added a pair of bomber groups to attack the LCU @ Singapore.

Sumatra
® I've been sending troops to Sumatra via landing barge from Georgetown. Bill has a couple of ships in the Strait of Malacca. I've set a fighter group and a dive bomber group that are both in the area to naval attack. I'm also attacking his Engineer LCU @ 45,75 that I chased out of Langsa earlier this month.

Burma
® Jeepers - 10 enemy ground units now @ Lashio! This is not gunna be good. It looks like he has the Corps unit in my hex in movement so I'm doing a DATK with my 33rd Division. I have three other divisions coming up but two of them are Thai units that are still around 50% strength. I'm thinking he has to be hurting for supplies at Lashio as I have been pounding his AF; it shows 48% damage. I've also moved up Sally units to attack his ground units @ Lashio. My hope is to ham-string his push into Burma by sapping his supplies and causing disruption.
® From Hanoi I'm attacking the AF @ Kunming. The more damage I do his base infrastructure the less supplies he'll have for Burma.


DEI
® I'm sending a Tanker TF from Japan to Rabaul with 95,440 tons of fuel to support operations in that theatre.

® I'm sending an amphibious TF to pick up the 127th Bde @ Iwo-jima and transport it to Mindanao as I ramp up operations in that area.


Economy
® I've set another Tanker TF from Japan to Shikuka. TF85 has a capacity of 43,120 tons and will CS-transport oil to Japan.


® I've set two subs currently based in Tokyo to change their home port to Rabaul. They will patrol near Southern Oz.
