thanks to all: Nemo: i don't think he is meticulous at all, but i'm quite paranoic person It's nice to have Little Italy here again, GH and Invernomuto!: You are right, GH i will meet with hordes of corsairs soon so i need to have "decisive battle" before 1944 - this is PDU and no restrictions on Corsairs after January 1944. Andy playing very good this game, but i dare to say not spirited. He is too competetive and i think and he hate loosing - and he waits for Corsairs and Hellcats, not to mention for Essexs (he got one or two so far). So, i'm quite dissapointed with our game in last few months (although i'm still enjoying because i'm micromanagment freak) and don't have illusions - this game dying slowly (from the Japanese point of view) until the moment when Andy decide to employ all his assests... than i'm doomed... so, what i can expect from him - grashoppers operations from Makin to Marshalls and moving Corsairs to Yunan and Kumning. That is why i rushing Konichiwa go - unfortunatly, ground combat godesses aren't on my side... Just realised that i could be interpreted as desperate and unmotivated person - don't worry, i have few sneaky tricks in hand and will not give up just like that! Invernomuto: just tried to do what you suggested but it isn't possible. Anyway, i upgraded two A6M2 groups at Palembang to A6M3 and in couple of days Daitai from Taiho (just downgraded at Palau) will joins them... Nemrod: It seems that you got honesty sickness. You are right about intel but still, i'm going to try everything to hide my "wonder weapons". Anyway, i don't think that i can fool Andy - he have plenty of Jap opponent and in some games they even reach late 1943. So i think it is better to live him in doubts than open my cards.... As for Myitkyina - it could be my mistake, but i decide not to fight for that base - to close to numerous Allied AFs - and i think he got app 1000 bombers in India! I have guite a lot troops in Burma, somewhere in my AAR i posted how many, but they are set for defensive and, as i said i don't like idea where few division can be more than decimated in just few days... One more BAA division arrives as reinforcement in month, but i will send it to Kweiyang frontlines to gather experience first.... And, thank you for support - it is always encouraging to know that so many folks comes to pauk's corner... PS...i have one suprise for you guys in the fall... WhoCares: That's a brilliant idea! Right now i have Kaga going for R&R - she spent two weeks in SIngapore (2 naval HQs, 4 ARs) and only one sys repaired (from 8 to 7). I lost nerves and sent her to Shangai and after just one day on the sea she gained one more sys... so - Kaga air groups will serve on Taiho for some time! Thanks! Now, combat reports.
