This is very interesting to me. I spend tons of time thinking from the Japanese perspective. I need to try and figure out what the Allied player is thinking. You're helping to show me where possible weak points are in my defense perimeter.

Thanks, Speedy!

It is interesting, as an Allied player with all of his games still stuck in April '42 or before, it does my heart good to see some jap butt getting kicked.

Gives me hope that one day I will have more than P-40s and Hurris to fight with. Go get them Speedy!

Thanks Niceguy. It is indeed good to see Mid-43 as Allies. I have another Allied game going against Pompack in June 42 and it is tough going........

It's going to be a lot of fun very soon

-----------------

SS Pogy got in on the action today. She had recently arrived on station inbetween Pagan and Marcus Island. She located a well protected convoy (protected by IJN destroyers no less). She managed to negotiate the escorts and sank AP Haisho Maru with 2 torpedos. Unfortunately the ship was empty.......

-----------------

Most of Faber's reinforcements reached the Mandalay front today. Among them are divisions. His beginning assault value increased from 1801 to 3271. He'll need another 1000 points to get 2:1 at beginning values.

-----------------

San Francisco is still a frenzy of activity. About 50% of the loading has occured. Some air groups were also loaded on board AK's today. Many already exist at Midway but no harm in having a few more:

1 x PB4Y
1 x F4U
1 x B25J
2 x SBD

Interesting..........The airfields of Mandalay have received a batch of aircraft by the looks of it. After being abandoned for days this strikes me as strange. As such basing it on Fabers last tactic he CAPped the rail line. I'm therefore standing down the heavies and escorting the rail line big time. We'll see if i'm right or wrong.

Also Glen spotted an ML at Midway. Sneaky gits. I have 24 patrol planes searching but rarely find the b*stard subs. I have found 1 480ish miles south of Midway. An ASW TF is en route.

----------------

SS Rasher heavily damaged PG Aso Maru 180 miles SE of Hong Kong with a torpedo.

----------------

Even more enemy forces have reached the Mandalay line - upto an AV of 3778

Hmm. A minor annoyance. I guessed right in that he CAPped the rail; line but WHY ON EARTH didn't my P38's take off on escort. Everythign was set right. Instead a measely 8 Spits took off. Great............

I lost 46 aircraft to his 11.

I'm hoping the useless P38 will escort my raid to Mandalay aiirfields tomorrow

------------

SS Salmon patrolling 120 miles south of Sandakan fired 4 fish at MSW W.10....they failed to detonate.

SS S-27 spotted a small convoy 360 miles NW of MArcus Island. The small MSW escort kept her at bay though.

------------

Well this is it guys.........a HUGE armada set sail from San Francisco at midnight. The yare bound for PH to pick up more troops, re-stock fuel and then onto Midway and Wake.

Combat wise we have:

TF1 - CV Lexington/Saratoga, CVL Independence, BB North Carolina, CA, CL, 2 x CLAA + 10 x DD's - c.210 aircraft.

TF2 - CV Enterprise/Hornet, CVL Bellau Wood, BB Washington, CA, CL , CLAA, + 11 x DD's - c.210 aircraft.

TF3 - CV Essex/Wasp, 2 x CVL, BB South Dakota, CA, CL, CLAA, + 10 x DD's - c.240 aircraft.

3 x SAG. Each containing 3 x BB, 2 x CA, 2 x CL + 10ish DD's

Transport CV group - 3 x CVE + escorts.

2 x Transport TF's containing 60+ ships each (a 3rd is en route from Noumea to Midway nearing Johnston Island).

2 x supply convoys. The first heading to Midway now containing 54,000 tonnes of supply and 480,000 tonnes of fuel. The 2nd will move to Wake containing 80,000 tonnes of supply and 216,000 tonnes of fuel.

The last day of May brings a big day of action! Let's start in Burma:

My raid on Mandalay found the Tojo/Tony party on CAP. Good 121 enemy fighters rose to meet my 72 Lightning veterans. In any means it was a clear victory for the Allies. 62 planes were destroyed by my Lightnings and a further 57 were smashed to pieces on the ground. I lost 22 P38's and 7 Liberators.

On the ground things were just as bad for Faber. He decided to attack my defences on the rail line with the addition of his newly arrived formations. It made no difference:

Ground combat at 34,28

Japanese Shock attack

Attacking force 179395 troops, 1648 guns, 610 vehicles, Beginning Assault Value = 3780

Defending force 87251 troops, 716 guns, 992 vehicles, Beginning Assault Value = 2112

Japanese max assault: 7420 - adjusted assault: 3903

Allied max defense: 2197 - adjusted defense: 4487

Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1


Japanese ground losses:
10264 casualties reported
Guns lost 163
Vehicles lost 38

Allied ground losses:
987 casualties reported
Guns lost 44
Vehicles lost 8

------------------

My heavies at Darwin decided to destroy what is left of productuion in the area. They wiped out the resource production on Amboina today. Sorong tomorrow.

------------------

Sub War:

SS Kingfish frustrated me today. Located 360 miles west of Eniwetok she encountered ML Yaeyama. She fired 6 fish which failed to detonate. She tried an end around attack and fired her last 4 torpedos which missed! She back' off to Midway. SS Peto departed today to replace her.

SS Drum sank MSW Yoshino Maru with a torpedo 180 miles of Tarakan.

My Midway based ASW group found the I-Boat but the g*t I-30 blew up DD Bagley with 2 torpedo's before any of my ships had a chance to get him. The other 4 ships are to continue searching the area.

------------------

June arrive as do Corsair IV's and B26G's....July is THE BIG MONTH for plane arrivals..........

Normal bombing resumed over Burma with FB's hitting IJA troops on the Rail line and LBA from Dimapur and Ledo hitting Myitkyina.

The Libs once more bombed Taung Gyi Resources. Down to 30% production. The yare to target Pagan tomorrow........

A sweep of 23FG Lightnings is ordered from Yunan to Hanoi tomorrow.

---------------

SS Grayback encountered a well protected convoy in the middle of the Phillipine Sea. No target vessels were identified since DD Makinami located the sub and dropped several DC's in the vicinity. Light damage sustained. Remaining on station.

The Midway ASW group is returning to Midway after finding no evidence of I-30...I will get her.

--------------

Several ship classes upgraded today - BB Royal Sovereign, CA London, CA Australia, CL Leander, DD Isaac Sweers, SC class, AD/AE/AS classes.

Tomorrow CA Suffolk arrives at Karachi and a DE at San Francisco.

Pagan has also tasted Allied wrath now. 20% of resource production was disrupted today by Libs from Imphal.

My Hanoi sweep from Yunan was fairly successful. My Lightnings shot down 16 enemy Tojo's/Tony's for the loss of 4 Lightnings.

-----------------

SS Drum successfully engaged a freighter today 180 miles east of Tarakan. She hit AK Kano Maru with a torpedo. The escorting MSW's failed to locate my sub.

-----------------

A 3 x CVE replenishment TF was formed in San Francisco today. These babies will resupply my CV losses. They are escorted by 7 x DD and a DE. Heading straight to Midway.....

Tomorrow 3 x AK, a DD and a DE arrive at San Francisco.

A frustrating day in the sub war.............

SS Bowfin missed AK Misaki Maru inbetween Pagan and Iwo Jima.

SS Muskallunge missed AK Glasgow Maru west of Tori Shima.

SS Thresher luckily hit AK Lisbon Maru with 2 torpedo's 240 miles east of Camranh Bay.

--------------

2 x AR left San Francisco today bound for Midway. They will enhance repair cabailities during Operation Falcon.

The fleets are about 1/4 of the way to PH right now.

A relatively quiet day as things go.

The Heavies at Darwin attacked Amboina airfield destroying 4 x Dinah on the ground. A patrolling Liberator also identified CVE Taiyo 120 miles north of Timor. Interesting. I've set all LBA to naval attack tomorrow.

----------------

SS Hake has mortally wounded the fuel laden TK Toei Maru with 2 torpedo's 180 miles south of Iwo Jima.

Unfortunately SS Bowfin missed another TK in the same convoy a further 60 miles south-west.

----------------

A further 6 x ASW (3 x DD, 2 x AVD, 1 x PG) craft left PH today bound for Midway. 1 of these ships will join the 4 ship TF there to make 2 x 5 ship ASW TF's. It's time to step up search in the area to ferret out any pesky I-Boats before the fleet arrives in c.2-3 weeks time.

An AK arrives at San Francisco tomorrow.

A major air victory was achieved over Burma today. Liberators escorted by Lightnings successfully pummelled Mandalay's airfields. They destroyed 50 Tojo's/Tony's on the ground.......

--------------

SS Pompon heavily damaged the Freighter Utide Maru with 2 torpedo's 240 miles south of Hong Kong.

I'm impressed. The allies are already ahead in both air and ship kills. And not all that far behind in ground combat. (Although I imagine it was worse before the Penguin's spanking on the rail line in Burma.)

A further 6 IJAAF planes are destroyed on the ground at Mandalay.

Air raids on Myitkyina and troops there and on the rail, as per norm.

I upgraded my first P39 group to P47C's today at Noumea

A further 4 aircraft were destroyed on the ground at Mandalay today. I'll probably bomb the resources at Pagan again soon and then after that keep bombing Mandalays airfields. Interdiction of supply is the key up here now. I have noticed a serious effect on IJA formations in Myikyina due to:

Bombing of Myitkyina supply
Bombing of Mandalay supply
Bombing of Myitkyina's troops.

Here's the effect it has had on IJA strength:

25th May 1943: Defending force 159603 troops, 1203 guns, 22 vehicles, Beginning Assault Value = 3039
7th June 1943: Defending force 153841 troops, 1064 guns, 11 vehicles, Beginning Assault Value = 2934

-------------------

I decided to start a pysche game with Faber.

Faber "Where did you say you were going to attack?"

Speedy "I haven't said but i'll tell you......Wake Island......."

Faber "Hmmmmm........is that a bluff?.......Wake is near the top of my list of suspected targets......BTW..you forgot to tell me the date and full OOB....."

Speedy "Let's try.....Lunga!

Date - unknown

OOB - unknown. Big."

I know Niceguy. If you can just get through the 1st year it's a lot of fun

Check out the screenie below for the full BB list. BB California will join 1 of the bombardment groups when the fleet reaches PH. Wee Vee will not quite be ready to participate in this one unfortunately.

------------------

SS Grunion did well today in sinking AK Takamisan Maru NW of San Marcelino.

SS S-27 was hunted unsuccessfully throughout the day by 3 x PG 240 niles NW of Marcus Island.

------------------

The bulk of 1st Marine Division, 2nd Marine Division, Americal Division, 112th US Cav Bde, 14th NZ Bde are now ashore at Midway. Some R & R for the boys for a week before the war against Japan really starts.........

The majority of the combat fleets should be at PH within 2 days. From there it's a matter of embarking some troops and it's off to Midway and then to Wake!

-----------------

SS Trout sank an MSW (Choyo Maru #2) 240 miles east of Naga today. It's believed this was part of a convoy escort.

The I-boat detected in the Indian Ocean receive a working over from Napier and Tjerk Hiddes........

-----------------

The Yunan P38's swept over the skies of Nanning today to find them empty.

The Darwin heavies plastered Koepang's airfields. The place was largely deserted other than a Dinah which was destroyed on the ground.

-----------------

An AK, LST and DD arrive at San Francisco tomorrow.

SS Trident left Karachi today bound for Columbo.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD ARGUMENT FOR A FIRST TURN STRIKE ON PH!

All the Threads I read where the JPN player argues a first turn stirke against Manilla or Sing is coming to mind.

Actually the best way to sink BBs early, though its still not easy is to hit PH and then hang around with the KB and all your subs between PH and WC. The allied player almost always sends those damaged BBs back to the WC after the first couple of weeks.

Pauk - Am I not always on the right side?

SS Trusty performed well today. Patrolling 140 miles ENE of Palembang she found the oil laden TK Kyokuyo Maru and penetrated her hull with 2 torpedo's. Although not reported as heavily damaged it is unexpected that an oil laden TK will survive 2 torpedo hits. Lets hope not.

-----------------

Bad weather prevented almost all air strikes.

A Glen zoomed over my Marine transport convoy at Midway. Wouldn't surprise me if he thought something was up now....we continue anyway.

PBM's from Midway located 2 I-Boats. 2 x 5 ship ASWs TF's are en route to the last known locations.

CV Formidable was the first UK CV to receive Corsair IV's today. These impressive fighters could allow seaborne activity in the Indian Ocean.

An AK and LCI arrive at San Francisco tomorrow.
