You seem to be doing well in Burma, Gilberts, and have a foot hold into the lower Solomons. [&o] You have two other avenues of approach that I haven't much about - North Pacific and NW corner of Australia. What is going on there??
We have built up Adak & Sitka ... otherwise it has been pretty quiet .. the Western Oz has been very quiet ..
I am not so game for the "Hokkaido Hurricane" mainly because of comments by the lead developer . he never intended a huge USAAF vs IJAAF contest over the skies of Japan and a Hokkaido invasion will produce just that as we saw with Greyjoy's AAR. Instead I am slowly working towards a Formosa campaign as Admiral Nimitz orginally proposed. Clearing out the Marshall's is the first step toward that goal.
As I expressed before .. I am not sure the Marianas can be invaded against an IJ player with an intact KB before June 44 ..and 10 Essex class CV's ..my other choice is to invade the Carolines with LBA/CV support... Damn bloody ..a third choice is to get involved in the war of attrition in the Solomons .. not my first choice by far ...We shall see how things develop as the Marshall's campaign moves forward .. .
Burma is in a happy stalemate with Lashio completely cut off and forces in Mandalay pinned in .. 3 more divisions are on thier way and will take a month through the Jungle at 4 miles per day ..[10 days per hex 4 hexes to get to the right spot ..] 1943 will be very very interesting in Burma ..the IJ I suspect will post Tojo's here and try and gain control of the skies ...
always nice to answer posts and get a disscusion going .. the CR's get boring over time .. [8D]

The sub attacks sure feel good when they are in your favor. Unexpected successful attacks on capital ships as well as loaded transports are a welcome moral boost to the early Allied war effort.

The 55th Division was holding Mandalay and now has moved to clear the rail line. The attack failed to gain attrition advnatages and we have a lot of reinforcements into this hex in 10 days. A second force is moving toward Lashio ... A third force due in a month or so cutting their way through the jungle will enter this fray ... Iron Balcony has accomplished its mission . cut the line to Lashio and oversee the IJ operations in Burma ..
I do have one big problem . supply .. the lack thereof will keep disabled squads disabled ... it is a slow death unitl supply can be restored ..as it is for the IJ in Lashio ..
"What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so"
The Tojo seems durable enough, but on sweeps by P40Ks and Hurricanes we have faired well. Granted the P40K squadron has elite pilots but the hurricane squadron I swept Bhamo with for 2 days scored well with little combat exprience and training in the low 60s (good defensive skills though low 70s) The combat was mostly 12 on 6-7 our favor with unknown IJAF pilot quality.

Bascally in 1 week I have 252 unadjusted AV moving to this hex and in 2 weeks another 200 unadjusted AV. The hex to the north will have 200 AV this turn keeping the line cutoff. The move back south is along a rail line moving faster than the 2 miles per day -- It looks like a major road and 60 miles per day? The key will be to feed enough forces to keep the stalemate while I move forces north to take Lashio.
More later ..
"What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so"
The IJ are not confident they can hold the Kathrine River and are retreating to Darwin with the Aussie's I Corp in hot pursuit. It seems that these units are less than 1/2 strength. This is an extermely opportune set of events as I was afraid of a river crossing. One other thing of note .. the IJ left behind 7K in supplies, which I can use to move this offense closer to Darwin.
The tricky move would be to move back to the river hex the exact turn I intend to cross [:-]
With only 1K AV I suspect this offense will not get far but this is precious inches moving forward in '42 ..

Now it is very clear the IJA need at least 2K AV unadjusted to move me from this hex. In the meantime more forces are moving to cut this rail line, while recon shows another IJ division just debarked at Rangoon. I suspect this is going to be like Kursk .. both sides reinforcing waiting for the opportunity to attack. My plan is to defend and keep the line to Lashio cut while maneuvering 2 Divisions to enage Lashio. The jungle makes this is a very long and drawn out developing situation.

To Zuluhour: Although many parts of China have low supply areas still have little tibits that I am using to attack vulnerable spots. Especally if I can get the IJ to react because it gets into their planning cycle. To me its about drawing more troops here and time while we open the Lashio road ..
Three pieces of key information this turn:
3/54th Division is loaded on xAP Hoten Maru moving to Rangoon.
I suspect another division in Burma. Its going to turn into a happy stalemate ..
2/17th Naval Construction Battalion is loaded on a Japanese TK moving to Lunga.
At the same time the IJA have come to play in the Solomon's .. something has to give ..
a Type KS class SS is moving to 135,121.
