Very effective. Those battleships are out of action for many months / years. His aircraft carriers are either sunk or out of action for months / years. It was a worthwhile expenditure.

Kaga looks like she can return safely to port. Remember to set her to "cruise" speed, provide her with ample escorts and set sail towards Singapore as soon as possible. Godspeed! [&o]

Oh! OK!
I understand it.
Thank you very much.

DEI is called “ran in” in Japanese.
Ran = Dutch, In = Indies.
However, “East” is not in Japanese.
So I didn’t understand.
An abbreviation is difficult.

Kaga returns to port and is under repair now.
The powder magazine did not explode.
Kaga takes time for a while for repairing.
Thank you.

And I understood how to use "quote" now. [:D]

The adjective "East" is included because there was a "Dutch West Indies" - Dutch colonies in the Caribbean Sea. When European explorers set out to find India by sailing west, they reached the islands of the Caribbean and found some people with darker skin than themselves. They decided they must be in a part of India, and they called the native peoples "Indians". Only later when they discovered the Pacific Ocean on the other side of the Americas, did they know that they were not yet at India. Since India was known to be to the East of Europe [from land travelers like Marco Polo], it was called East India while the islands in the Caribbean Sea were called the "West Indies".

Japan did not have this ignorance of the location of India, so there was no "East" or "West" when you write about India.

Thank you.
I was reminded of a history lesson.

When we say Indies, East Indies comes to mind first.
I just forget it.[:D]

I like birds too if they do not squak all the time. Sparrows have a pleasant song that does not irritate me. I have owned budgerigars [Australian bird, called budgie for short], and my daughter had a green conyur [spelling?], a kind of small parrot. It was very intelligent but had a very loud piercing screech that was annoying if he did it too often.

Did you ever let Charco out of his cage? All of our birds were trained to sit on our shoulder and fly around the room for exercise. But, we were never able to train them not to poop [leave droppings] when they were out of the cage.

I have kept budgerigars too.[;)]
He was atrocious and excellent runaway convict.
He flies away in the world and has gone missing.
I think I am sorry to him. [&o]

Charco was occasionally taken out from cage.
Since I gave food even when he was small, he rode well on a hand or the shoulder.
However, he often started panic.
It is more cowardly than a parrot.
poop was thrown away here and there.[:D]
I do not keep a bird these days.
It is mainly the result of poop.[8|]


The commander of Australia also appears by this AAR in the near future. (not budgerigars)
Please look forward to it.

Very unfortunate that you did not understand how overstacking supplies and overstacking troops can use up a lot of supply. This game is so big that you will learn new things very often. Most learning comes from mistakes we make, though. I have made more than my share just playing against the AI. [:)]

This mistake was not fatal. There will not be a problem from now on if I use the supply carefully.[:)]

Burma:

Burma is delayed. I capture it hastily.
At first I use 1000AV.
However, they seemed to withdraw. akyab seems to be made a fortress.

I love drink.
I drink too much today[:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]
hehe

I am fain today.
Since I am in a good mood, I stick a photograph.

It is said that it is preparing in order that China may war with Japan.
We will fight by the robot of bipedal walking.
They are burned by the beam.

Of course, this is joke.
I desire peace.

I am cutting down alcohol.
It drinks only several times per month.

hehe[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

My son loves those fighiting robots. He has a lot of the Mechwarrior robots and games, and he loved the Transformers too.
Where is the robot in the picture?

There is this robot in odaiba of Tokyo. This is a photograph of 2010. It was a time-limited plan, but display was reopened.

This robot is called Gundam. It is a robot most popular in Japan. Just similar to Star Trek is popular. There is the fan such as Trekkie, too. The transformer is popular, too, but the popularity of Gundam exceeds it. As for this model, it was sold hundreds of millions.


I am a hangover. [:(][:(][:(][:(][:(][:(]

I never got an aching head from drinking but I hated the way my body and stomach felt after too much drink, so now I only have 2-3 drinks maximum before I start drinking lots of water to help my body handle the alcohol. I enjoy myself much more when I know what I am doing and can remember everything in the morning!

I was busy. And I was poor physical health.
Please be careful about health.[:(]
 
 
The game is June, 1942.
When homework piles up, I want to run away.
lol

I am glad to hear from you again Tomomo. [:)]
I hope your health will improve. Don't worry about doing your AAR homework if you are busy and tired! [:-]

Tomomo1996,

Have you seen the trailer to "Pacific Rim" yet? I think you might like it...[8D]

Awesome - Mechwarriors meet Cloverfield monsters! Maybe Japan will have to bring Gundam out of retirement!

AAR is written a little late.[:)]

Now, I saw the trailer.
I am reminded of Godzilla than Gundam.
The Godzilla series have many movies, but there is the thing fighting the machine.
It is called "Mecha-Godzilla".

I think that the technique of Hollywood is splendid. It is more splendid than Japan.
However, "Pacific Rim" thought that it was not the design which got a Japanese heart.
Please search the Mecha-Godzilla. That is the design for the Japanese market. The Japanese market is like the Galapagos Islands.
Japanese sense is weird.

However, I think that this movie becomes popular in Japan. It is not because a robot is cool. This is because a 9-year-old girl called Mana Ashida publicizes it. She is great in Japan is popular. Because she appears in Hollywood, the Japanese will go to look.
lol

3/1 to 3/31(1)
:China

We had big fights in March in China.
I am Napoleon.
I carry out a dangerous strategy such as “Defeat in detail”.

I put damaged units in Nanyang after battle of the river.
He put military units in river.
And there is spy units in NE of Nanyang.
He can watch my units.
However, he cannot see whether it is damaged.
I concentrate to units in Wuchang, and I go for offensive in the west.
It takes time so that unit arrives at Changsha even if he notices.
I take advantage of this time.
I return the entire army to Nanyang again if he attacks it in Nanyang.
Or if I sacrifice Nanyang, I charge in the west.

It is a dangerous strategy.

However, this strategy succeeded.
My damage was big, too, but his damage is bigger.
but, Napoleon loses finally…

Wow! You have hit him with heavy losses. Most of your casualties were just disabled, and can be recovered with rest and supply. Many of the Chinese casualties were destroyed squads. They cannot be replaced quickly because China lacks supply. Well done! [&o]

Now you must take Kweiyang to open the roads to Chungking and Kunming. Take Kunming first to close off his supply from Burma.
It does not matter if his armies from the river fall back to Ichang - it has no great value if you have Changteh, to block him from easy movement back to Chungking.
