Hi all, Firstly, is there any information or screenies that you guys want at the moment? Good news. Intel received confirmation that SS I-5 sank after the damage it received yesterday from my ASW forces. SS Tambor was attacked by a couple of MSW's in the strait between Borneo and Sulawesi. 3 DC's landed nearby causing some minor damage. She is low on fuel as is and will remain on station for a few more days before returning to Darwin for R & R. ---------------- Heavy bombing raids in Burma. An example of what the IJA is receiving on the Mandalay rail line: Day Air attack on 30th Division, at 34,28 Allied aircraft Spitfire Vb x 6 Beaufighter VIC x 23 Beaufighter Mk 21 x 10 P-38G Lightning x 47 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 187 casualties reported Guns lost 10 Vehicles lost 1 ---------------------- The IJA tried to force their way through the defences on the Mandalay Rail Line but were repulsed with HEAVY casualties. No breakthrough occured and my men are in good spirit: Ground combat at 34,28 Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 261524 troops, 2685 guns, 984 vehicles, Assault Value = 5631 Defending force 87325 troops, 703 guns, 982 vehicles, Assault Value = 2132 Japanese max assault: 4911 - adjusted assault: 4149 Allied max defense: 2221 - adjusted defense: 4581 Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 11595 casualties reported Guns lost 296 Vehicles lost 52 Allied ground losses: 1023 casualties reported Guns lost 37 Vehicles lost 3 -------------------- All active MSW's and transports in Australia are forming up to move to Sydney and Brisbane. From there I decide where I will form up my transports (from Midway/PH) to embark LCU's from the South Pacific for offensive operations over the next few months. CV Intrepid arrives in 8 days An LST and an AK arrive tomorrow as does a PV1n squadron. A newly arrived Wellington squadron is retraining on Liberators at Calcutta before moving to the front for combat operations.
