herwin (playing Japan) versus blitzk (playing the Allies) RHSRAO (latest version) House rules posted to Opponents Wanted board. After months of steadily worsening relations and the recent American Government decision to confiscate the assets of people of Japanese ancestry, the Japanese Government has taken the step of declaring war on the United States and the British Commonwealth. Hostilities began in a tragi-comic fashion with a gun duel between the American Navy oiler Brazos and the armed Japanese freighter Akagi Maru at Dutch Harbor. During the first day, there were Japanese airstrikes on Singapore, Davao, Angeles/Clark, Wake Is., and Hong Kong, naval bombardments of Kota Bharu and Guam, and troop landings on Wake Is., Guam, Davao, Kota Bharu, Aparri, Laong, Legaspi, the Batan Is., Kuching, Brunei, Tay-Tay, Rabaul, Kavieng, and Nauru in support of local separatists. Hong Kong was invested by forces based at Canton supporting the local rebels. There was a surprise attack by B-17s on a Japanese carrier TF that did no damage and was seen off rapidly by defending fighters. The results of the airstrike on Angeles/Clark were made much worse by the decision by Field Marshal Macarthur to ground and concentrate the aircraft to protect them from attacks by the Filipino rebels active in the area. The Japanese Government has announced its support for the rebel Governments of Malaya and the Filipinas and is landing troops in their support.
