After weeks of seeming inactivity, the Allies finally show a sign of life and come after us at Chittagong. It's quite the air battle with aircraft falling out of the sky left and right!

I feel like we are on the verge of a great decisive battle, Mahan-style. I could be misreading the tea leaves, or not, but either way, I am ready for it. Let me show you how.

Time For Another Major Airborne Operation - 20 Mar 1942

No Grand Decisive Battle, and I was hoping for one. The enemy fleet has mysteriously vanished but I don't have time to worry about that now. Let's get back to work and conquer some more of India.

In what can only be described as the PR boon of the century, we stumble upon and put some hurtin' on the biggest troop transport available to any nation in this game. I think Winston Churchill is crying....

Our Own Little Bastogne in India - 22 Mar 1942

I dropped some paratroopers on a bastion of enemy forces and now we're going to pay for it. A small group of Japanese soldiers is isolated and cut off from friend forces and is in danger of being surrounded like the Americans in Bastogne in 1944.

I had been fearing this large Chinese Corps but it has all but evaporated, and we've ejected back out of our oil base. Why was I so worried about this again?

Talk about bad turns... this is one for the books. I don't have much I can say other than this turn was a total disaster and it's going to set me back weeks. Watch until the end!

I'm still reeling from the loss of 100 aircraft last turn but our war on the ground is going well in several places.

I've shaken off the loss of my aircraft two days ago and gotten back to work. Today marks another water mark in the conquest of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere as land another major invasion of sovereign Commonwealth Territory!

These Despicable Aussies Are Now Our Subjects - 28 Mar 1942

We've liberated this filthy place called Darwin. Our troops are appalled by the squalid living conditions of these wretched people. We couldn't have gotten here at a better time to liberate these people from the Western Hegemony and incorporate them into the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Macho decided to react to our invasion of Ceylon from the air but I don't think he was expecting me to bring the entire IJN Fighter Force to cover it all.

I ordered an attack based on poor intelligence and I've now paid dearly for it. I'm sabotaging myself with these bad decisions.

I forgot to record the 1 April turn but nothing significant happened, but we're positioned well for the beginning of the end for China with our forces safely across a critical river.

This is a pivotal turn for our campaign. We avenge the treachery of Chittagong last week and make a massive discovery about where the US Pacific Fleet is. Let's just say it should be renamed the US Indian Fleet now...

If you are trying for a repeat against a human opponent, then you are setting yourself up for an ambush.

I thought I had a perfect set of sweeps lined up, but instead I fed more of Kido Butai's best and brightest into the meat grinder over the US Pacific Fleet now based at Cochin, India.

There is a massive fleet of some sort forming off of Colombo on Ceylon, and I can't tell if it's a reinforcement or an evacuation fleet. Either way, we will need to deal with it.
