More like the farewell party at the Brewdog Taphouse last night is being felt. Apart from being about one year apart in game years, this and Apbarog's AAR are quite similar.

8-9 Dec 44
Highlights – A Mini-KB is also loose north of Hawaii! Three AOs from the KB’s Repl TF hit.
Jpn ships sunk:
PB: 3
AMc: 1
Allied ships sunk:
DD: 1 (Allen)
SC: 1
APA: 2
AO: 2
TK: 3
Air loss:
Jpn: 118

Allied Amph Inv: None
Bases lost: None
Bases Liberated:
Beaufort (SWPAC)
SIGINT/Intel: More trouble north of Paradise, a Mini-KB (CS, 2CVE) was found by the APA convoy I had heading NE which blundered right into it. KB looks to have turned WNW towards home, and I presume the Mini-KB has or will shortly - using Kamikazes on a convoy limits the Mini-KBs future effectiveness! Interdicting the KB’s Repl TF may slow the withdrawal, and should eliminate any notion of continuing east to hit the US West coast. Back to the main event, Kyushu, was surprised that a large formation of Franks (100+) were apparently on LRCAP over the islands SW of Kyushu. Lots of Ops losses lead me to believe their basing at Nagasaki, which is the only AF indicating having fighters on Kyushu (over 1200 reported).
Strategic Bombing Campaign: Although weather again limited strikes to only the second night, CAP was absent and Flak light over Fukuoka resulting in only one B-29 lost due to Ops. Bomber stream consisted of 8 separate raids totaling only 42 sorties at 8k ft. Bombing was reasonably accurate and fires got to just over 73k. One Squadron failed to get the change of target, and again hit Hiroshima, and was met by the most CAP ever encountered in a single night raid - 36 Irvings and about 150 day fighters. Amusingly, the CAP claimed only one B-29, but the squadron was able to shoot down 7 Zeros, 7 Jacks and 8 Georges! Needless to say, no damage was inflicted to industry. Fires remain smoldering at Fukuoka at only 2000 or so, but based on the lack of opposition, B-29s will return to target next turn, although again weather may not cooperate. Strat bombing VPs were increased from 9590 to 10,006.

RE: 8-9 Dec 44
West Coast/Admin: With the KB reported to be heading WNW, outward bound convoys are again turned west, although routing south of the Hawaiian chain where ever possible.
In NOPAC, if PBY search can identify the Mini-KB reasonably close to the Aleutians, which is a good possibility of withdrawal route, will look to sortie available warships (CL, 6DDs) to engage.
In CENPAC, L_S_T left me another unwelcome surprise to unwrap last turn - the Mini-KB! The IJN TF was found by a big APA convoy (supplies only, APAs were moving to base at Pearl from the West Coast), had turned NE to head back, and blundered right into the TF, and then was set upon by Kamikazes! Using the Kamikazes was probably a good thing from my point of view - although devastatingly effective (2APA, 2AO sunk), the Mini KB “shot its bolt” - 24 Zeros and 27 Vals destroyed for the effort. There may be a few planes left, but most of the striking power is gone. The KB is showing that it is heading back home, and its strikes managed to hit some of the scattered TK convoy’s ships with good effect - DD, SC, 3TK sunk. Before their demise, DD Allen and her TK charge managed to run into the KB directly - which provided the best sighting report available (8CV, CVL, CS, 3CLAA, 7DD). The only good news in CENPAC, and it was very good news, was that the KB’s replenishment TF was found by a sub which torpedoed an AO, and the two DDs sent to find it north of Midway. Those two DDs set two AOs and the CS Chitose afire and returned to Midway without serious damage. I’m assuming the KB is heading in the general direction of the Repl TF sighting, and will vector subs to intercept. With perhaps three AOs damaged or perhaps sunk, the KB fuel situation may be critical, perhaps limiting intended operations or slowing the return back to Japan. In any case the US Fleet is now in CENPAC waters, half just taking on fuel from the US Repl TF NW of the Marianas. The Fleet is heading to Pagan where the other half will take on fuel and CVs take on sortie replenishment. Still a longshot to intercept the KB, but will then head NE of Marcus and make the attempt. May get lucky!
In SOPAC, troops are taken off Okinoerabushima and the only IJN interference in the area is limited to aerial mining operations against Kume-jima and Amami. Other than PTs heading out to interdict barge traffic off Kyushu, fleet elements will remain in a defensive posture securing the Ryukyus.
In SWPAC, I got a surprise when 125 Franks on LRCAP protecting some barge traffic off SW Kyushu jumped B-25s on a low-level naval strike. The B-25s still managed to sink both PBs and a few barges, and even managed to shoot down 5 Franks for their efforts. 19 more Franks were listed as ops losses, but it cost the squadron heavily - 13 B-25Js shot down. Over Kyushu, the initiation of the sweep campaign started well with P-47s engaging a small CAP over Kumamoto at 35k feet, downing 2 Franks and 6 Tonys with only one P-47 lost to ops. Will expand the sweeps next turn as Tokunoshima AF reaches level 2, with pairs of fighter squadrons sweeping southern Kyushu bases. This will be the debut of the P-51D over Japan. If all goes well, may look to launch a daylight B-24 raid against Kagoshima in a few days. Not ready to try and sweep Nagasaki just yet though.
In China, NSTR.
In SE Asia, IJA troops look to be mounting some sort of counterattack against XXXIII Corps troops at Shaohing. Four unknown units have pushed into Shaohing which is defended currently by a single Bde. While the lead Tank Bde will attempt to take Ningpo, the main body of XXXIII Corps will move on Shaohing and all available air - to include Heavies, will focus on the IJA troop concentrations at Shaohing and Hangchow.

Highlights – Two good days of sweeps over Kyushu as the sweep campaign begins in earnest; contact lost with KB.
Jpn ships sunk:
SST: 1 (Yu-7)
Allied ships sunk: None
Air loss:
Jpn: 164
Allied: 82
Subwar:
Jpn: 0 Attacks, 0 ships hit
Allies: 0 Attacks, 0 ships hit
Jpn Amph Inv: None
Allied Amph Inv: None
Bases lost: None
Bases Liberated:
Ningpo (SE Asia)
SIGINT/Intel: Contact lost with the KB, although what I think is the Mini-KB is sighted halfway between the Aleutians and the Hawaiian chain, due south of Dutch Harbor. I figure the KB is west of that; both heading WNW. That’s strictly a guess.
Strategic Bombing Campaign: A good two nights over Fukuoka! Weather limited strikes and CAP on the first day, but B-29s managed to attack target both nights. CAP put a max of 15 Irvings up the second night, and had no effect on the bombers, but lost 7 planes. Flak didn’t inflict any loss, and only a single B-29 was lost to due to Ops. Bomber stream consisted of 22 separate raids totaling 208 sorties at 8k ft. Bombing was reasonably accurate and fires got to just over 280k. Fires remain smoldering at Fukuoka at slightly over 36k or so. Strat bombing VPs were increased from 10,006 to 10,326. After two consecutive raids, bombers will rest.
West Coast/Admin: NSTR.
In NOPAC, NSTR.
In CENPAC, contact is lost with the KB, despite the 35 or so subs deployed and air search out of Midway and Wake. Mini-KB was located by PBYs, and 2DDs out of Midway are sent to intercept. I’m still counting on subs picking up the KB sooner rather than later. In the meantime, the Fleet, replenished at Pagan in the Marianas, will sortie next turn NE, between Marcus and the Bonins, hoping to head the KB off. The replenishing however has the Fleet divided into 3 CV TFs. The first, under Spruance (4CV, 3CVL, 2BB, 2CA, 3CL, CLAA, DDs /336F, 20NF, 81DB, 69TB), took fuel off the Repl TF, and has full ops, and will immediately head NE. Adm Moody, w/ 2CV (Brit), 2CVL, DDs after taking some repl at Pagan, w/ rendezvous with CV Franklin TF (CV, CVL, 2BB, 3CA, CL, CLAA, DDs) and follow Spruance a few hexes behind. Once joined, Moody will have 259F, 36DB, 48TB, and should be in immediate support of Spruance.
Following a day later due to more extensive replenishment will be Adm Towers TF (4CV, CVL, 2BB, 2CA, 3CL, CLAA, DD /251F, 12NF, 127DB, 53TB). Until these three TFs can rendezvous (with their associated supporting surface and ASW TFs), they will be at a disadvantage to the KB. Still, I think the risk is worthwhile to get underway as soon as possible and attempt to cut the KB off from Japan. With some luck, the patrolling subs or air search will find the KB early enough to concentrate before intercept.
In SOPAC, NSTR.
In SWPAC, a good first start to the Kyushu sweep campaign! Fighter squadrons out of Amami, Tokunoshima, and Kuma-jima sweep Kanoya, Kagoshima, Kumamoto and Tanegashima with excellent results. The P-51s and P-47s do extremely well, only the single Corsair squadron doesn’t get the edge against the Franks on CAP. After two days, 147 Franks are shot down air-air against 17 P-51D, 14 Corsair, 11 P-47D25, 9 P-47D, and 5 P-51B. Will swap out some of the squadrons which took losses, and continue sweeps next turn. P-38s will join the fray. Okinoerabushima AF goes to level 2 to provide CAP and will join the sweeps shortly. Another turn or two of fighters only, will look to bring bombers against Kagoshima.
In China, NSTR.
In SE Asia, Ningpo is taken without much effort. The expected IJA counterattack at Shaohing doesn’t materialize, and the recently arriving XXXIII Corps mainbody will go on the attack to clear enemy forces at Shaohing. This should culminate current offensive actions, the effort will now transition to build up bases recently secured.

Highlights – Sweeps over Kyushu encounter Georges which prove troublesome; no contact with the KB continues to be worrisome.
Jpn ships sunk:
CS: 1 (Chitose)
TK: 1
xAKL: 1
Allied ships sunk: None

Bases Liberated: None
SIGINT/Intel: Contact remains lost with the KB. This is becoming more than worrisome. Most likely, the KB used full speed to head to home waters and managed to elude the numerous subs deployed. Other potential outcomes are a tad more dangerous, and truthfully, just as likely - such as going “dark” - no air searches out - and heading either south of Pearl into South Pacific waters or back east toward the West Coast. Both would likely be one way missions, but numerous convoys would be at risk - as would industry on the West coast. The bottom line is I have no idea where the bloody KB is, so the threat remains high throughout the Pacific - putting all convoys potentially at risk.
Strategic Bombing Campaign: Bombers rest as recon continues to fly over Japan. Strat bombing VPs were increased from 10,326 to 10,502. Looking at Nagoya as the next primary target…secondary yet to be determined.
West Coast/Admin: Although not likely, there is a possibility that the KB has turned east, and could raid the West Coast - likely targets could be industry. So….fighters are put on CAP over Seattle, LA and San Diego to cover key industry. Air search is expanded off the coast at the expense of some training and ASW patrols.
In NOPAC, NSTR.
In CENPAC, US Fleet has departed Pagan headed NE, but is currently strung out and vulnerable at the moment. Spruance, in the lead, will slow progress and rendezvous with Adm Towers behind him. Adm Moody, had issues departing Pagan and is last in line, will endeavor to catch up. Still, without any idea where the KB is, I’m guessing that the best course is still NE. Hopefully, air or sub search will get a sighting on the KB so the Fleet can action the contact. Subs do contact elements of the Mini-KB and/or the replenishment TF, and largely miss targets, although the CS Chitose is reportedly hit and sunk - although no float planes are reported as ground losses.
In SOPAC, NSTR.
In SWPAC, sweeps over Kyushu get more challenging as L_S_T commits Georges to the fray. US fighters sweep Kagoshima and Kumamoto engaging CAP (Kanoya was also swept, but no CAP was present). Mustangs and P-47s still do well, but the P-38s don’t fare well against the Georges. After two days, 14 Franks, 14 Jacks, 9 Georges, and a Tony are shot down. US fighters lose 23 P-38s and 13 P-51s. A pretty even exchange after all is said and done. US sweeps will continue, focusing on Kagoshima and Kumamoto next turn. Meanwhile, bombers hit Iromote and Ishigaki ports and troops as the precursor to landing troops. The amphib is still at least a week away, but the prep has begun. Troops earmarked for the Ishigaki amphib are close to fully prepared, and will begin to rail from locations near Clark AFB to Naga where they will embark in a few days.
In China, NSTR.
In SE Asia, any potential IJA counterattack at Shaohing was eliminated with the Allied pre-emptive attack. Main body XXXIII Corps attacked the assembling IJA troops and routed them; over 5500 troops and 5 units destroyed at a cost of just over 125 troops. XXXIII Corps will now begin moving to invest and isolate Hangchow to fully secure the newly acquired airbases at Shaohing and Ningpo. XXXIII Corps is fully available to press the advantage in SE China, although both Hangchow and Shanghai look to be heavily defended. Still, all of 14th Army needs time to plan for upcoming operations - XXXIII is potentially a follow on force for operations in Korea, so it can press the advantage for a few weeks or even months in SE China.

Main body XXXIII Corps attacked the assembling IJA troops and routed them; over 5500 troops and 5 units destroyed at a cost of just over 125 troops. XXXIII Corps will now begin moving to invest and isolate Hangchow to fully secure the newly acquired airbases at Shaohing and Ningpo. XXXIII Corps is fully available to press the advantage in SE China, although both Hangchow and Shanghai look to be heavily defended. Still, all of 14th Army needs time to plan for upcoming operations - XXXIII is potentially a follow on force for operations in Korea, so it can press the advantage for a few weeks or even months in SE China.

Good to see the Franks are no wunderplane against the best of the Allies
Surprisingly, the Franks haven't been that troublesome whether they are CAP or sweepers. The Georges on the other hand are the wunderplane for the Japanese. Only the P-47s have managed any type of reasonable loss ratio against them.
RE: 10-11 Dec 44
Which version of the George is giving you trouble? Is he still on N1K1, or is he up to v5? I've been told the 5 is really super nasty

All versions of the George are troublesome![:@]
I think the George is the best he's got right now - and although the N1K2 is predominant, the N1K5 is starting to show up.
The P-47 can hold its own, but barely, especially since he's above his AFs and the P-47 is sweeping. These a/c below I think are the best of the best right now for both sides. The P-47B is also being used to sweep, but is limited by range. We've have the 2nd highest band for sweeps as a house rule, so, the P-51s are limited to 20k. I'm sending the P-47s and P-38s in at over 31k. Corsairs are the backup - also limited in altitude to 15k.
He started with Franks, but now seeing more Georges, Tonys and Jacks. All great planes, and he's got plenty with good pilots. Will take some time to wear them down, but at least I can range over Kyushu to attrit the fighter defenses. I should have enough P-47s to last until the P-47N model arrives in a few months.....should is the key word...I have 350 D25s in pools.

SIGINT/Intel: KB found! Looks like in addition to raiding the Aleutians, they are trying to make for the Kuriles and home. The two CVEs of the mini-KB are still unaccounted for, but subs continue to harass the replenishment and Mini-KB - which appears to be well south of the KB as it transits the sub line. Over Kyushu, L_S_T seems to be holding his CAP more to the north, leaving Kagoshima and cities and bases in the south unprotected.
Strategic Bombing Campaign: Bombers rest for another turn while remaining fires increase Strat bombing VPs from 10,502 to 10,626. Although weather looks problematic, B-29s will launch against Nagoya next turn at night, with altitude adjusting to 12k. B-24s will also join the campaign, targeting Kagoshima in daylight (US) and night raids (Aus).
West Coast/Admin: With the two Mini-KB CVEs still unaccounted for, will keep CAP up over Seattle and LA just in case…not likely, but you never know.
In NOPAC, well, the KB was found the hard way - with effective strikes against Aleutian coastal shipping. Actually, not a bad thing - old tramp steamers, small tankers and obsolete Canadian ferries were the main victims. All were empty sitting at Dutch Harbor or Amchitka. And knowing where the KB is worth that cost! With the KB now under 100m from Amchitka, Arleigh Burke will take a CL TF (CL (the old Richmond), 6DD) out to locate and engage the KB. CAP will go up over Amchitka, protecting a few LSTs and such in a TF to perhaps draw in a strike. Not much offensive airstrike capability in the Aleutians however, but what is avail will attempt to engage - both day and night. Aleutians do have a solid air search capability though, and will attempt to maintain contact with the KB to allow subs and the US Fleet to close and engage.

RE: 14-15 Dec 44
In CENPAC, US Fleet has rendezvous in the same hex about 500m SE of Hokkaido, still heading NE. The three CV TFs are reconfigured a bit to provide three mostly balanced TFs, each probably having somewhat less capability as their quarry, the KB. The KB is still some 1600m ENE, and in North Pacific waters, so there is no guarantee of a successful intercept. A couple of PB pickets were spotted and attacked by air search, but other than that, I don’t think the US Fleet has been directly spotted. But L_S_T has to figure its out there and headed to cut off the KB. With some luck, subs, aircraft or Burke will slow the KB down some. The sub picket line hit Mizuho and an AO, and will adjust north somewhat to intercept the KB, and maintain contact with the Repl TF. If the KB goes to full speed (if it has the fuel to do that?), an intercept isn’t likely. If not, even odds of a solid CV battle in North Pacific waters in about 3-4 days. Possible contact with IJN Repl or Mini-KB elements (estimated to be about 800m due east, headed NW) next turn could prove to be the solid indicator to L_S_T that the US Fleet is in the area. US Fleet fuel situation is very good, and a Repl TF will depart Pagan to provide support and top off the tanks and provide aircraft replacement after the fight. While the North Pacific isn’t the best place to have a CV battle, the US Fleet’s course is keeping some 400m SE of the Kuriles, so LBA shouldn’t be an issue. Weather will be the greatest variable.
In SOPAC, NSTR.
In SWPAC, fighter sweeps over Kyushu continue. L_S_T has moved his CAP north, no CAP over Kagoshima or bases on southern Kyushu. P-51s and P-47s tangle with Japan’s best over Kumamoto. After two days, losses are fairly even, with ops losses added to the figures: Jpn loses 33 Georges and 36 Jacks to 47 P-47s and 16 P-51s. With no CAP over Kagoshima, will bring in B-24s in a daylight raid (although Aussie B-24s will hit target at night). Bombers from Miyako-jima and Taihoku will focus on industry while 10th Airforce B-24s out of Wenchow and Foochow will hit the port. A bit early to bring in 10th Airforce into the mix as AFs aren’t quite ready for sustained bomber action, but this will be more of a feasibility test than anything else. Of course, if L_S_T brings heavy CAP back over Kagoshima, even with focused sweeps and some fighters on LRCAP over the target, this could get messy for the bombers. Two P-47 and two P-51B squadrons will maintain sweeps over Kumamoto as well, but a number of the fighter squadrons used previously have needed to be withdrawn and replenished due to losses sustained. Part of doing business over Kyushu; goal is sustained attrition to wear down the CAP over time. The real challenge is that the current CAP engaged has as good or better planes than US counterparts - the N1K5-J George is a beast, and the P-47s and P-51s have found a match while the P-38s are outclassed.
In China, NSTR.
In SE Asia, as mentioned, 10th Airforce B-24s will now be focused more on hitting operational and strategic targets rather than in a ground support role over China. Until the newly acquired AFs in and around Ningpo can be expanded, their role will be limited. But the AFs should be somewhat operational in January, which also coincides with the house rule of no strat bombing into or out of China going away. On the ground, XXXIII Corps troops invest Hangchow and will recon by bombardment next turn. More of a holding action for the time being anyway, as the mainbody of XXXIII Corps will need more time to maneuver to the NW of the city, and attack toward Nanking, potentially cutting Hangchow off from Shanghai. No rush here, this is going to be a long, slow process - time needed to bring Chinese troops forward and develop bases as well.

SIGINT/Intel:Contact maintained with the KB as she skirts north of the Aleutians, now heading west. Privateer strike provides solid intel on CAP - 109 Zeros came up.
Strategic Bombing Campaign: Mixed effort over the two days. Kagoshima raids went in unopposed both day and night over the two days, and only one B-24 was lost to Flak. Night raids put 46 sorties from three squadrons over target in 7 separate raids. Daylight raids put 189 B-24s over target the first day, and 179 the second day, the largest single raid having 88 B-24s. Industry damage was moderate, with fires getting to only a max of just over 79k, but are still burning at just over 24k. Port strikes did well, sinking a number of ships including an AR. Overall, not a bad two day’s work over Kagoshima. Will rest the daylight bombers, and increase the night raids next turn by committing 4 Brit B-24 squadrons out of Foochow. Nagoya raids were not effective. Weather prohibited raids the first night, and results were lackluster for the second day, perhaps due to the altitude increase to 12k. CAP had no radar, and consisted of a max of 18 Nicks and 21 Tonys which were also ineffective, losing 6 Nicks and 10 Tonys with no B-29s lost to any cause. Bomber stream consisted of 15 separate raids totaling 113 sorties at 12k ft. Bombing accuracy was very poor with light damage inflicted, and fires only getting to just 12k. Strat bombing VPs were only slightly increased from 10,626 to 10,776. Weather is reported to be clear over Nagoya, so the B-29s will return, this time at 8k and see if that makes the difference.

RE: 16-17 Dec 44
West Coast/Admin: NSTR.
In NOPAC, it didn’t work out as planned, but it worked well enough. The KB surprised me by routing north of the Aleutians as she headed west, avoiding Burke’s CL TF (CL, 6DD). Daylight brought in KB strikes against that small convoy I had at Amchitka as well as against the CL TF. Both were engaged by CAP, which succeeded in knocking down 25 Zeros, 15 Judys and 6 Jills for a cost of 2 P-38s and a P-40. The raids sunk an xAK at Amchitka, and damaged two DDs and AVD. Well worth the cost of attritting the KB’s airpower a notch! The Privateer strike cost 3 bombers to the KB’s CAP, but again, well worth the cost to find out what the CAP consisted of. Will look to hit the KB with available bombers, escorted by the P-38s, but chances for successes are slim. PBYs, in addition to maintaining contact with search, will hopefully be able to engage in night torpedo attacks. Lastly, a squadron of B-29s were flown in from Formosa to mine ports in the Kuriles should any KB elements seek refuge there.

RE: 16-17 Dec 44
In CENPAC, with the KB detouring north a bit, she avoided subs last two turns, but lost some time against the US Fleet. The Fleet will head north, and loiter just south of the Arctic weather; this should provide ample chance to launch strikes on the KB as she heads due west south of Petropavlovsk, likely headed for sanctuary west of the Kuriles in the Sea of Okhotsk. Weather of course is the wild card, it will likely limit and fragment any strikes, provided it allows strikes at all. A DD TF (4 DDs) will head out to attempt an intercept, as are a good dozen or so subs. 60/40 chance at best for a good carrier vs. carrier battle!
In SOPAC, Oldendorf’s BB TF (4BB, DDs) will bombard Ishigaki as the prep begins in earnest.
In SWPAC, fighter sweeps continue to engage CAP over Kumamoto. This time its Franks supported by some Tonys engaging the P-47s and P-51s. They give as good as they get, and after two days 34 Franks and 3 Tonys are shot down in exchange for 20 P-47s and 17 P-51Bs. Sweeps will continue over Kumamoto next turn, and I expect similar opposition and results. The real unanswered question is whether or not L_S_T can sustain this attrition to his fighter force.
