[kaleun]

Final screenie for this (combat) day.
My majesty lands in Kuantan

[freeboy]

I guess my ships and planes in the Palmyria area are subject to attack, we will see how they fare!... I may lose more than I hoped to, or bargained for.. definately need to retake that patch of rock!.. where oh where are those cv's? again no action accept his raid on Singapore... and that long rang attack from palmyria... scary seeing that .....

From the AP wire:

Air raid Hawiai
Today planes in the Imperial Japanees air force lanched another daring raid against ships in US territorial waters.. the local Governor has called for an emergancy modilization of the civilian population and invasion speculations are runnig high

Die Die Die!

[kaleun]

Thick as fleas on a mangy English dog!

[freeboy]

My raid on Palmyria was strangly aborted, first the tf didn't move as it was told, then who knows? must have retired...
In Singapore frontal zone was hoping to catch his CV group with a low level b 17 attack! MAybe K should just sue for peace[X(]
IN China.. no real progress, Nothing in Burma, PI or Solomons.. My thinking is he has a huge bang up cv bb tf readdy to launch his next wave of attacks against some place special?

[freeboy]

Well I was waiting for K to post, but he must be asleep! lazy Jap![:-] I was fearing for my CV raiders, absolutely nothing happened, they did not launch and where not attacked, ok by me as they recieved orders before I saw his heavies in Palmyria...
Sometimes I feel like singing the scareecrow song from "W of OZ"
Operation sneeky is in its infancy, only problem remains that apart from his use of the lite carriers unsuccesfully near Singapore, he has move the cv's out of detection range.
I thought he would be in the Baker area as he invaded here.. maybe hanging out in Kwagelien,sp?...

Must at all cost avoid cv vs cv until his fighter bonus erodes in early 42.... well its almost January and I am thinking if I do not get a big prep penalty those jan and feb point can be used to rearange some assetts[:D]

[freeboy]

I was expecting some type of comment on the hits against the most imperial navy bb's [X(]

[kaleun]

Barely scratched the paint.
Also I'm at work doing this in a hurry.
In addition that TF was supposed to steam round the tip of Malaya and bombard Johore Bahru; instead it just sat there[:@]

[freeboy]

why? was it set to retire allow? or maybe the leader sucks?

[kaleun]

Yes that was the setting bombard and retire allowed, and it just stood there. Maybe the leader is now WO dumbmoto.

[freeboy]

fyi, the tf do not perform well with retire allow, they think it is a licence to avoid combat...

Davao falls. Our first base in the southern Philipinnes will open soon.[:)]
Here is an overview of the current general situation

[kaleun]

Here is the northern China morass

[kaleun]

Southern China doesn't look much better.
But we have great hopes![;)]

[kaleun]

And the good news for the day. Davao falls

[freeboy]

notice the lack of reporting about K's utter failure to secure Singapore by Christmass, a major early goody, but who can? I am about the same time frame in another pbem and am just as close there, albiet having alot more troops,
Borneo.. still mine
Philipines.. mostly contested
Solomans mine all mine
South pacific, contested waters
PH? get real
SRA.. Mine goodie goodie.. Every tanker and ak full of oil, fuel and reasourdces leaving sra makes me very very happy
K remains ellusive about the dreade4d jap fleet, considering his options this may be the time they show up... but where? I still think he may be in striking range of Baker?
maybe yes maybe no!
