Well after fixing a few errors in the database and some airplane upgrade paths we have now restarted. I'm keeping things pretty much the same in this game with the exception that I'm landing my forces in the Phillipines a little closer to Manilla than in the previous game. My intention is to threaten getting troops into the Manilla hex ASAP such that AndyMac has a choice of either:
a) pulling everything back into Manilla without contesting Clarke Field or
b) contesting Clarke while I have troops in the same hex as Manilla whereupon his troops will not retreat into Manilla but, instead, into the Bataan Peninsula ( where I will leave them as live bomber training targets)
So, he really has an unenviable choice. Either he gives up almost all of the Phillipines except Manilla immediately or he fights it out north of Manilla at the cost of ensuring its speedy fall once I take Clarke. As an additional part of my maskirovka I have ordered my parachutists to capture the three bases in the Phillipines at which my forces will come ashore. This will rob AndyMac of the information one normally gets when ground forces assault and capture a base and the lack of information will, hopefully, cause him to make poor decisions.
Elsewhere I simply replaced the CVAs south-east of Singapore with my CVLs and CVEs... These could put approximately 100 torpedo-bombers into the air and were ordered to destroy the airfield at Singapore. Unfortunately for me they did not fly so Singapore was only attak by slightly over 100 Sallys ( I never trust to a single airstrike component if I have the option). OTOH this just led to the remaining planes impaling themselves on my CAP so what I lost in terms of destroying them on the ground I made up in terms of killing them and their pilots in the air ( something which is, in many ways, preferable to just destroying the airframes alone).
I also seem to have gotten extremely lucky in terms of die rolls since it appears the Me-109 has entered prodution already a full month ahead of schedule. This will allow me to bolster the forces defending Kwantung against Soviet aerial predations... I view this as essential as the most obvious way to train up the Soviet aerial forces is simply to engage in limited attacks with them and trust to actual combat to give them the experience they need ( new Soviet pilots enter with less than 50 Exp and that's just not sufficient to form an effective air force... they need the leavening which exposure to combat gives. Make that exposure too costly and when war with the Soviets does come I will gain mastery of the air more quickly and more completely than would otherwise be the case... an important consideration and one worth a steady, small monthly loss in the air over my bases.).
So, onto the war...

Well, as you can see, American forces initiated attacks against unescorted Japanese merchant vessels and submarines in international waters. Fortunately Imperial Japanese Navy vessels at sea were in position to retaliate and have diverted to cover the retaliatory invasions designed to rob these pirates of their bases. This Imperialist aggression will not go unpunished.

My Sallys did a good job. In return for 1 of their number they managed to destroy 38 enemy planes on the ground including a massive number of the enemy fighters and prevented Singapore airfield from flying offensive missions for the day. This caused those British and Dutch strikes which did fly to be poorly escorted and fall easy prey to my patrolling fighters.

Day Air attack on Manila/Cavite [PH] , at 43,52
A maximum strength strike was sent against Manilla and Clarke Field. Freeing up all of those airplanes from other areas cost me a gigantic portion of my starting PPs but I believe it was more than worth it as they managed to greatly reduce the naval threat facing my invasion forces. Fully 706 bombers were involved in the attacks on the Phillipines in the first day and the results were commensurate with the effort expended. It should be borne in mind that while the number of hits seems impressive most of these planes have swapped out the few 250 Kg bombs in favour for a larger number of 100 Kg or even 50 Kg bombs so each hit does far less damage than would be expected in stock. These army bombers are now, however, more effective in their primary ground attack mission. As the game goes on you will see these army bombers being used against enemy shipping only very rarely as they are simply not suited to the task. Turn 1 is an obvious exception.

Manilla airfield has been sufficiently damaged that it will not fly any offensive missions for the next couple of days but it has not been completely closed. That is fine as all I wanted to do was destroy and damage enough of the P-40Es that some will remain trapped until tomorrow and will be destroyed in the second day's raids. I believe that this objective has been achieved.

Clark Field has been well and truly closed. With a minimum of 32 planes destroyed on the ground and the airfield suffering well over 600 individual hits, albeit from 50Kg bombs), the air defences at Clark have been rendered impotent. I should have no trouble destroying the survivors on the ground tomorrow.

Day Air attack on Pearl Harbor [Oahu] , at 114,72
I used my single port attack against Manilla. Thus the strike against Pearl concentrated solely on the airfield. Since the Vals have less value against BBs than the Kates I chose to preferentially sacrifice them ( one other thing of note: Sid tells me that he mistakenly doubled the amount of AAA at PH by counting every gun there as both disabled and in full working order. This makes the first strike against PH particularly bloody since I was already in the midst of planning when he told me this and wasn't going to start all over again. It is fixed in the latest version of the mod though.) in order to save the Kates.
