Defeat disease: Bombur vs. Nik 42A Nik mod 5.0

[Bombur]

-More air attacks on Kunming. The USA mercenaries changed their tatics. Now they are using Chinese I-16´s as baits in order to bounce the A6M2. This new tatic allowed them to shot down 4 Zeroes and 4 Ki-21 in two days, while losing 3 P-40´s and 6 I-16´s in A2A combat. Overall losses were 5 P-40 (2 destroyed in the ground), 7 I-16 (1 in the ground) and 1 Il-4 (also destroyed by the bombers). Japan lost 4 A6M2 and 6 Ki-21.

Actual Hurricane losses were 4 planes. (all pilots safe) with a further 9 having made successful forced landings. Japanese losses were at least 25 aircraft destroyed including one of those pesky and elusive Ki-15's.

[Bombur]

In the last meeting of Navy HQ, Yamamoto argued that Nik is an allied fanboy and that the two carriers actually didn´t sink. What happened is that Nik changed the code of the program in order to allow the sunk ship screen to give false informations to the Japanese player. Yamamoto´s defeatism is causing significant distress among Japanese officials.[:D]

[Bombur]

ORIGINAL: Nikademus
plenty more Hurricanes arriving. Surrender now.

-Yes, Hurricanes were left alone in order to replace losses. Japanese pilots need them as target practice. Lots of air combat over China in the last two days, as Zeros from Mandalay joined the campaign against the AVG , flying sweep missions over Kunming. Heavy losses for both sides. IJN lost 6 Zeros and 4 Ki-21´s, while the USA mercenaries lost 9 P-40´s and the Chinese lost more 6 I-16 and 3 Il-4. Yamamoto has argued that the land based IJN units are suffering heavy losses in exchange for mediocre achievements and asked for the end of attacks against Kunming. The Army is also unhappy, as they want the Ki-21´s flying air support missions against Chinese units in Nanning.

-Significant activity from enemy air units was detected both in New Guinea and Burma. Most air combat happened over Mandaly where heavy enemy raids were successful in destroyed a number of Japanese aircraft in the ground, but lost at least 15 aircraft in the process. Meanwhile, enemy LBA based on PM pounded Lae again, causing moderate damage to the base instalations. Another raid against Japanese light surface combat units resulted in no damage to our ships...

definately rethinking. Losses were not excessive over the base (2 Blenheim were shot down by intercepting type 0's) but on the way back 2 more Blenheims crash landed while attempting to land and had to be written off and one Lb-30 crashed just over the Burma-Indian border. 2 Buffalos were lost over the base with several more write offs while returning. On the bright side, flak resistance over Mandalay appears non-existent to negligable at this time. The primary difficulty appears to be the continued disperity in preformance with 67 squadron's tired old Buffalos being battered by nimble army type 0's.....with a few cannon armed type 0's thrown in. Morale has taken a bit of a beating but overall remains excellent. Our pilots and bomber crews have great fiber.

[Bombur]

-An unexpected defeat happened to the IJN, as a convoy of light surface units, known as "The Tokyo express", used for night supply runs in North New Guinea was attacked by enemy LBA in Lae, with the loss of a light cruiser. The event resulted in a furious clash between Tojo and Yamamoto. While Tojo called attention to the Navy´s covardice, in refusing to use major warships to neutralize PM and allow Lae to be supplied by transports, Yamamoto blamed the Army and the government for the poor management of logistics and for the resfusal to release additional supply to Truk, thus preventing continued fleet operations. He also pointed to the risk of surface operations in the range of enemy LBA. The "genius" that was commanding the transport fleet was summarily discharged from the navy for allowing supply unload to go on well after dawn, despite his orders to unload and depart before daylight[X(]
