I don't know how many IDs the Japs have or get.  But I will try and start locating them.
 

John 3rd or Mike Solli would probably know this without blinking, by the way, I hav'ent heard a peep from Mike for awhile....If someone actually knows I'd like in to although I am only interested in scen. 1 for now. As for the force by Sian, check your leaders you may be able to upgrade cheaply. Hows the supply there? Did you see Alfreds ground combat modifiers?

Leaders are Ok. Supply is a little low.  What are you thinking of playing the Dark Siden ow Zulu?

Alfred, It's unlike you to have an omission.[:D]

Thanks Alfred.   Much appreciated.  
 
Kurt.  You didn't answer my question you looking at going over to the dark side[:-]?
 
Plans for next turn
 
We are going to bomb Tanug Gyi in Burma
 
We are also going to bomb a group of Jap units in an open hex south of Hengyang.
 
India
I have 2 Indian cities with oil that dosen't produce Oil.  Madras and Bombay.  I know Ledo and Rawalpindi make oil but they also process the same about the make.
 
So does anyone know whats up with these 2 cities haveing oil?

Hotel California by the Eagles had to of been made for AE.  You check into the game but you can never leave it.[:D]

MKB near Coco Is
 
Hengyang
We hit 2 ID's and a mixed Bde in the open causing 354 KIA's.
 
Coco's
MKB pops up out of no where.  My Nav search didn't find it till after they flew their first strike.  We lose Illustrious, CLAA, xAK and prob a DD.  All troops are ashore and transports have been broken down into TFs by speed and running in different directions.  He didn't even go after my BB TF.  My bombers didn't fly either but my fighter jockies did what they could.  They shoot down 6 Betty's, 2 A6m3a's, a Val and a Kate.  Man don't let me plan naval ops in the reall world.  I will also do better in my next game.  I promise. 
 
We have 251 AV with 1 fort and 30k worth of supply.  I 166 takes 7 hits from DD's.
 
Maloelap
Small sweep by zeros.
 
Wotje
All of the TD Bn is on shore with some supply.

There is no substitute for surprise. I would guess the Brits just did'ent have the range to engage and because the elements are so small would have been mauled anyway. The Catalina is integral to every amphib. Op possible. I have begun using SCTFs as pickets out to 80-100nm react 4 (I used to have aggressive COs) to keep as many nips off my CVTFs and Amphib. TFs as possible. The CL is usually the center piece. Good hunting!!

KB unknown  prob Truk
MKB off Coco's island
 
China
We bomb the LCUs south of Hengyang.  Around 200 KIAs.
 
Coco's
SAG sinks and xAK and would DD.  He hasn't spotted my  BB SAG yet. 
 
Quiet turn.

I could use a quiet turn.

We get these more often than I would think.  Some times Koniu dosen't push me when he should.  But I prob do the same thing.  I think we think and play alot alike.  I might be more reckless.

KB unknown
MKB  Off Cocos
 
China
We sweep the open hex south of Hengyang.  We find Oscars and Nicks.  We shot down 4 Oscars and 3 Nicks for no loses.  Koniu hasn't pushed any further in the Sian region.  I am holding off on alot of bombings from Changsha due to supply worries.  I have plenty but I don't want to bomb myself out of supply. 
 
Burma
I see a 3 ship TF heading north along the coast.  He might be heading towards my ASW TF at Akyab.  I have a 3 ship TF lead by a CL that will sprint to Akyab and catch him.
 
Coco's
MKB sinks 6 xAKs.  The rest of my ships look like they might escape.  2 more xAKs will be sunk tomorrow.  This was my decoy TFs.  My more important ships went towards Java to escape.
 
Wotje
Tojos sweep and find nothing.  Helens escorted by A6m3a's.  We shoot down 9 for 4 P40Ks.  He scores 10 runway hits.  AF is still open but the airfield service damage is whats hurting me.  It takes forever for damaged planes to repair.  I am having the same problem on Maloelap. 
 
NorPac
I have 3 CVE's up here.  I have sighted several picket ships up here.  I am going to give them some live fire training.

MKB Coco's Island
 
Sian
Jap LCUs are movnig towards my troops dug in the woods to the south and southeast of Sian.
 
Akyab
Jap BBs bombard and tear the place up.  17 Hurri IIC's are destroyed.  12 Jakes are reported destroyed 10 by flak 2 ops
 
Coco's
Japs bombard and bomb the port.  Not much damage either way.
 
Wotje
Tojos sweep and find nothing.  Helens escorted by A6m3a's come in to attack the AF.  P40Ks training jump on them  shooting down 8 zeros for no losses. 
 
NorPac
CVEs sink 2 xAKLs.
 
 

Sian
Troops are going to fight in the wooded hexs.  They will try to wear down the Japanese troops.  No bombings in China since I shut down Henchow's AF.[:D]
 
Changsha
I will probably bomb Henchow one more time before I pull out the Brit bombers and the P38s. 
 
Akyab
Planes have been flown out will wait for the rest to repair and for the AFs to be repaired.  This will hinder some bombing missions I had planned.  I will also have to fix my Nav search.
 
Coco's
1 fort with 252 AV behind it.  Working on an AF now.
 
Oz
Units are prepping for 2 invasions.  Koepang and Roti, and Tagula and Miline bay.  I almost think I can get into Tagula without CV support.  I don't think Koniu has much in the way of fighters or bombers in teh area.  I haven't seen much of either.  I have reconned most of the Solomons with exceptions of Rabual and bases around it.  I am setting up some B17Ds now, so I can see whats at Rabual.
 
Wotje
Supplies are shrinking everyday.[:@]  Planes won't repair fast enought.  So I prob won't bring in any more planes until they the AF service damage is repaired.
 
Roi Namur
has 16k worth of troops.  I wonder how he is keeping them supplied?
 
NorPac
CVE's will move tonite and attack another picket ship.
 
 

24th to the 27th Oct
 
KB NE of Kuasie Island
MKB Indian Ocean
 
3 turns went by today.  Oh yea 3 baby.  I don't remember much of the first 2 nothing much happened.
 
Sian AO
Japs bombard are forces in the woods to the south of Sian.  Not doing anything but give me more exp.
 
Wuchang
We sweep with P38s and find Tojos, Oscars, and Nicks.  8 P38s are lost for 6 Tojos, 7 Oscars, and a Nick. 
 
Hankow
AF bombed and still closed[:D]
 
Burma
Some sweeps by the Japs but nothing to note.
 
Coco's
Bettys bombed the port today little damage done.
 
Marshall Islands  
Looks like the Wotje Invasion is on people.  I sent a sub to peek into Ponape's harbor and it found an invasion fleet 20 xAKs AMC, APD, with 6 DDs.  The sub took a shot and no boom.  Then the sub got pounded,  it will limp back to PH.  Today we dud on the Akagi[:@].  But see all sorts of TFs just above Kuasie Island.  I am moving my subs into the suspected paths of these TFs.
 
Wotje
2 forts with 200 AV and 15 working 155mm CD guns.  I only see one ID prepped for here.  That might not be enough to take the Island.  Hopefuly my subs will actually hit a few ships with working TTs.
 
NorPac
CVEs sank 2 more xAKLs.
 
I might be missing some stuff but I can't remember now and I must get back to my turn.
 

28th and 29th Oct
 
KB Mili
MKB unknown
 
Sian
Jap bombers bombs some troops with little effect.  Koniu is moving in more troops but I don't think they will be enough.  I am behind at least 1 fort for every unit in a 2x terrain with good supplies.
 
Borneo northern coast
We put 2 working TTs into a big tanker.[:D]  The tanker is reported to be on fire with heavy damage.  Subs will contiune to patrol these area.
 
Saumlaki
We hit the AF with 4E's.  I plan more bombing missions in the future.
 
Marshalls
He sweeps and bombs Maloelap.  I hope his invasion force is not heading here. We put another working TT into an xAK with troops onboard.  It is reported on fire.  This invasion TF is going to go thru a bunch of subs.  I also snuck a DD SAG in behind Koniu's lines.  I am going to try and run it into the invasion TF from the rear.  I don't think it can happen thought.  It has to travel 8 hexs as the invasion TF has to travel 3 to get to where Koniu has a Jap SAG.  Maybe my subs can slow it down.  He has to go thru the fleet boats then the old S boats with working TTS.  I have another DD SAG just north of Wotje.  I figure minesweepers will lead the way.  Maybe these DDs can run in rough up the minesweepers and let the rest of the TFS clear the minefield one ship at a time.[8|]  My fighters are starting to recover now.  This is a good thing.  I have SBDs ready to fly in when the time is right.
 
Johnson Island
2 xAKs sunk and one damaged by a Jap sub.
 
Today had 12 sub attacks all by me.  3 working TTs.  I can't wait till 43 rolls around.
