[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES: [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Well what I was afraid was going to happen, happened. The Royal Navy practically made it all the way to Australia before being attacking by ONE sentai of BETTYS! I put two torpedos into the HMS Revenge[/i], but she was not listed as heavily damaged. My Battleship TF is off Timor as well since it has (probably) virtually mirrored the movement of his TF (my TF started from Singapore, then paused at Soerbaja). I have only seen 3 of his battleships so far and I surmise that he would have brought all 5 Royal Navy battleships that were available to him. Even that with the Revenge probably disabled that would mean a 4:4 battleship fight, his battleships have 15” guns, while mine pack only 14” guns. (Yes my 14” guns out range his 15” guns, but how often do surface combats start at ranges in excess of 33,000 yards?) I will give my BETTYS another day to hopefully shift the odds more in my favor and then tomorrow I will move out my Battleships looking for a fight. Also I have ‘refitted’ the JUNYO’s[/b] KATE group and will move her out with my Battleships. I have ordered TANAKA’s cruisers to run back to Darwin and bombard there, since for some reason they left Darwin w/o Bombarding last turn. Hopefully they will damage the air base some and entice the Royal Navy further north. (I’m betting that the RN is simply going to run for Wyndham tomorrow). My attack at Darwin was pitiful, for some reason the 38th Division was divided into 2 units; my disruption was not horrible except for the Mortar Battalion which has taken heavy loses.[/font]
[font="times new roman"]GOOD NEWS[/i][/b]- No Subs lost today![/i] Plus Japanese ASW makes 2 Very Effective attacks, both scoring direct hits on American submarines with depth charges![/font]
[font="times new roman"]In China, am moving forces in position to attack Yennen, probably should’ve attacked this turn. He tells me this is where he feared an attack the most (in China) at the beginning of the game-oh well.[/font]
[font="times new roman"]Let’s see what tomorrow will bring.[/font]

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES:[/font]
[font="times new roman"]Big Killer[/i][/b] –All the IJNAF BETTY & NELL Datais/Chutais in the NW OZ Front do not strike! Why won’t my LBA strike his Royal Navy Battleships? Strangely there were no Air Strikes in the entire PM Phase[/i][/b]! Planes at the same base as one of the BETTY units spotted the British SC TF one hex outside of Wyndham, but still they didn’t even strike. My BETTYs and NELLs at Kendari all with decent morale and the highest fatigue was one unit at 11- they didn’t strike either. The weather was clear! His planes from Northern Australia were able to strike at my TFs moving towards Timor and Kendari, but my planes at those bases all with ample supply and aviation support were inactive yet again. Now his battleships will bombard Wyndham next turn for sure. I will attempt to intercept/confront him with my 4 x 14”Battleships, supported by the JUNYO[/b]. I left both TFs in Koeppang last turn to wait and see what the results of what the LBA did (wonderful). TANAKA’s cruiser which I ordered to bombard Darwin at FULL SPEED-they were 7 hexes away-moved a total of 2 hexes! I’ll try to bombard Darwin again, and I guess I’ll use them as bait for the Royal Navy. [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Still can’t drive those damned Engineers out of Koumac. I keep intercepting his PBYs attempting to fly in more reinforcements to Koumac. Apparently he figured out I was coming or his EAB Unit works well under fire because he had buil a level of fortifications there. But still I have almost the whole 2nd PARA RGT, most of SNLF PARA BN, plus half of the 16thInfantry Division (already unloaded) should have driven those bums out! Well he’s unloading men from the 41st Infantry Division in Noumea; they were on those APs I attacked & sunk; hopefully more men and guns went down in the harbor. Recon flights have raised the # of men in Noumea itself to over 20,000. Perhaps I should have tried to go straight for Noumea. I still can since all units in the 2nd wave are prepped for Nomea and not Koumac (another Division and Mixed Brigade). When the APs finish unloading the 16th Division they will head to Luganville to see if they need to load up the 4th Infantry Division to help out in New Caledonia. [/font]
[font="times new roman"]My A6M2’s from Rangoon shot dwon a couple of his Liberators bombing Mandalay, but enough bombers made it through to damage some of the resource centers. I damaged ten of his LB-30’s so that might slow him his bombing campaign down (a day or twos rest). [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Should I move my 1 unit of TOJOs to Burma?[/font][/i][/b]
[font="times new roman"]He had a decent amount of CAP (P-40E’s) over his troops and Burna Corps HQ which were advancing towards the Mandalay/ Mytinka road junction. Perhaps he will try to move them off the track and directly through the jungle now?[/font]

As you can see his ASW has been just a "little" more effective then mine.

Well my subs have done fairly well themselves - these are their victims.

Our game was temporarily suspended while my computer was in "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" Mode!

Wife attempted to fix....made it worse!

But then she came to the rescue and fixed it [&o](yeah for women with computer tech skills) while I was out working "overtime" programming student for next semester!
Sent Floyd G a turn this earlier this evening so hopefully he'll send one back a.s.a.p.!

TURN NOTES:
Another fairly strange day in the war! I can’t belive my eyes! He only bought 3 Britsh Battleships to Australia! He bombarded Wyndham with the Warspite & Royal Sovereign (while, the Revenge w/two torpedos in her, has limped in to a port). So I wasted last turn for nothing! I had hoped to torpedo some of his BBs w/all my LBA in the area to improve my odds in a surface naval battle. Well luckily his bombardment of Wyndham had pretty lousy luck, but his planes did spot the HYUGA & FUSO closing on Wyndham…so will see wait happens now. I may catch his cruisers fleeing Wyndham before I run into his British battleships. The JUNYO’s VALs struck, even though they are on 50% Naval Search and her KATEs just watched. For some reason the majority of my torpedo carrying planes are reluctant to strike at the Royal Navy. It’s funny b/c the one Datai that keeps attacking has the lowest morale (39) and highest fatigue (25) or all my BETTY & NELL datais and chutais.
Still can’t kick his butt out of Koumac. He has been trying to reinforce by air, but the 2 combat units still keep coming up with 0 AVs + I’ve been intercepting 3 groups a turn (meaning most of the troops are being turned away). More troops are landing and going to be complicating matters since I don’t own the port. May have to bombard the crap out of every hex on New Caledonia! Will withdraw the SHOHO and ZUIHO back to Shortlands, they are both low on KATEs as well as the # of strike sorties they can launch.
Unloading supply and the 56th Brigade at Lunga, just got tired of all those Americans there and decided to end it now. Wasted enough time and effort there-hopefully will unload in a couple of days and then take the island capturing the majority of the Americal Division.
In Burma my planes hit the airfield at Kohima and boy was it ugly. Only a small # of OSCARS flew as escort and my dive-bombers got ravaged by his Hurricanes and Buffalos! One ANN datai (I have two at Manadalay) lost TEN planes and now has a morale of 16!
But yet another turn w/o an IJN sub lost!

Quickee Update before I got to bed -have to wake up in less then 6 hours (Yuck said I'd stop doing this to myself when I left the Army)[>:]

My BB TF met his off Wyndham and we had a little bout. I put One 14" shell into the Warspite, and sunk a CL, CLAA & DD [plus heavily damaged one CL] before he withdrew with only medium damage to one of my destroyers. The JUNYO's air group finished off the CL and then put a torpedo in to the Royal Sovereign. All 4 of my BBs are in good shape w/less then 9 system damage. Unfortunately my BETTYs & NELLs at Kendari are still not striking...over 200 Aviaition Support. over 15k supply and clear weather-very curious. But BETTYs & SALLYs at Koeppang did alot of damage to the USS Chicago who I expect to sink soon.
PLUS we finally pushed him out of Koumac!

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES:[/font]
[font="times new roman"]Well we finally took Koumac. Hopefully it’s not too late and he hasn’t been able to land too many men from whatever forces he had afloat. The number of troops has been growing in Noumea. He moved his B-17E’s to Efate, which may mean he fears ha can not hold Noumea or that he still plans to invade Luganville. The 4th Infantry Division is still on Luganville, both to hold the base and as a general theater reserve. The 2nd Infantry Division will be arriving within a few days from Pt. Moresby and then we will see how much resistance he will be able to put up on New Caledonia. [/font]
[font="times new roman"]My Battleships caught up with his Royal Navy TF and while we were the victorious the damage was surprisingly light. The Warspite[/i] on fire, a CL sunk another CL on fire, plus a CLAA and a destroyer sunk; in exchange for one badly damaged IJN DD. Then my planes put a torpedo in to the Royal Soveriegn [/i]and finished off the damaged CL. But once more no datais from Kendari struck, even though there morale (though declining) is still higher then the moral of the unit at Koeppang (the unit which always strikes). Wwe spotted TWO RN CV’s[/i] heading for Derby, but no strikes were launched. We reduced the fortifications in Wyndham to rubble! The end is very near for Wyndham![/font]

[font="times new roman"]Good news planes from Kendari finally struck some Royal Navy ships; Bad News only 9 of 81 BETTYs and 9 of 28 NELLs flew, but it’s a start. Seems when I transferred the turn from my memory stick (flash drive) to desktop I may have screwed something up b/c my battleships stayed at Wyndham instead of chasing his to Darwin which they might have reached at Full Speed. But the JUNYO’s[/b] KATEs put another torpedo into the Royal Sovereign[/i] and the NELLs and BETTYs from Kendari put three torpedoes into the Warspite. [/i]While we once more spotted the RN Carriers and got the audio prompt, no strikes were launched against them. Also since I had placed the A6M3 group as CAP for the battleships, and being that they did not move, they were without air cover at Wyndham. Fortunately they took only one minor hit. I was really hoping to take Wyndham this turn with my ground troops. I then would have been able to transfer a sentai of OSCARs as well as the SALLYs and HELLENs in Timor there and use the TOPSY’s to transport in some aviation support. I will be unloading more supply there this turn in addition to the supply my TOPSY’s have been “dropping”, so hopefully will take Wyndham tomorrow.[/font]
[font="times new roman"]The unit he had outside of Darwin didn’t make it in today, I guess I’ll see what it is tomorrow…I should have RECON’d it! Tanaka’s cruisers have reloaded and will return to bombard Darwin. After I take care of those damaged RN battleships I’m going to bring in another Tank Rgt ann another 2k supply.[/font]
[font="times new roman"]A US Destroyer group raided Adak Island and sunk one of my PT Boats; the combat was pretty funny - it said I had surprise then he started shooting and sunk that one PT Boat! [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Taking Koumac really helped the unloading and now my troops are preparing to move in to La Foa on New Caledonia. I’ll start with the Infantry Division, Field Artillery Rgt, & Engineer Rgt; keeping the 2nd PARA in reserve for now. I’ve slowed the advance of the 2nd Infantry Division’s transports to see how the campaign is shaping up; land at Koumac or assault Noumea. The 21st Mixed Brigade and Army HQ are following a few days behind.[/font]

A = 2 Royal Navy CVs & some escorts.
B = British Battleships and Cruisers (Warspite & Royal Sovereign both heavily damaged).
C = The USS Chicago somehow still afloat and limping towards Derby.
D = YAMASHIRO, FUSO, HYUGA, & ISE TF; plus Transport TF unloading Supply @ Wyndham.
E = JUNYO TF
F = 2 more TANK RGTs and nearly 5k supply heading for the front!
G = An SNLF unit to reinforce our attack or supplement the drive towards Derby!

I was in such a hurry to post something I forgot to post mt notes/observations on the turn....so here they are.

Wyndham finally fell! BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! But unfortunately it seems I can’t get my BBs or any TF to move Full Speed when I order them to move Full Speed and bombard-whether set on” Patrol/Do not Retire” or “Retirement Allowed”, they seem to move how they want not to there full capacity and arrive that day (You can’t always bombard at night). So once more I got another BB torpedoed by Allied planes at Darwin. This turn I’ll use my newly transferred planes @ Wyndham to strike the air field at Derby and then turn my full attention to Darwin. Hopefully two TFs will bombard Darwin this turn closing the airfield as well as heavily disrupting the defenders. Have already based a Sentai each of OSCARs, HELENs, and SALLYs at Wyndham; I have another 2 sentais of SALLYs, plus 1 sentai and chutai of OSCARS if I want to limit my self to Army planes. I will probably move in one of those SALLY sentais, plus a BETTY datai and a datai of A6M3 ZEROs when I get sufficient aviation support; leaving the other OSCARs and SALLYs available to rotate in.
Can’t get a good spot on what is escorting his British carriers, it might 1 or 2 of the “missing” British BBs, or just a couple of Cruisers (probable CLAA’s I don’t think he has anymore British CAs). Seems it would be silly to break up the British BBs that way and slow down the CVs, but I can’t be certain so I left a BB at Wyndham just in case (last turn as well). Still have 1 BETTY Datai on Java just in case the Royal Navy tries (tries… hell they did) to run past again.
In the Aleutians once more my PT Boats surprised his DDs then ended up watching as one got sunk. So I’ll retreat them back to Attu and Kiska.
In New Caledonia reinforcements continue to stream in to Koumac and the 16th Division should enter La Foa tomorrow. The 2nd Infantry Division will land at Koumac, the sitting (and torpedoing) of the West Virginia and possibly 4 other BBs negated any possible direct landing at Noumea. The air field at Luganville will soon be a level 3 and then things will move a little faster in this region for me as all his shipping in the area will be subject to BETTY torpedo runs!
Things in China are fairly stagnant, but I’ve sent a Tank Rgt on a bit of a blitz through a gap in his lines, so we’ll see what that turns up!
I’ve accelerated the HIYO so much (just recently shifted to normal production) I’ll have her in two days! Although I still nervous about my early handling of industry and production.
