AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/30/41 Today was another day that drove Andy to distraction. He sounds incredibly pissed off about the result of the fighting at Pearl Harbour but, to be honest, if you try to sneak ships into a port like that then one has to expect them to be attacked. I do think that unloading while docked should be allowed for BOTH sides but so long as it isn't allowed for Japan then it shouldn't be allowed for the Allies either. I've read nothing to say that Japan unloaded its ships in a manner completely different from the Allies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 10

Aldebaran, Shell hits 35, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk Fully 16 enemy ships were sunk overnight including the Battleship Nevada. Not bad. Mochizuki looks certain to sink and one of my BBs took a couple of 16 inch shells and has system damage of almost 50. Japanese BBs are unbelievably fragile. The Nevada took over 40 16 inch shell hits before succumbing. I wish I had a few ships like it in my battleline. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Pucheng [Cent China] , at 49,40 Japanese aircraft Ki-27 Nate x 19 Ki-51 Sonia x 11 Ki-21-II Sally x 7 No Japanese losses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Pucheng [Cent China] , at 49,40 Japanese aircraft Ki-27 Nate x 19 Ki-51 Sonia x 11 Ki-21-II Sally x 7 No Japanese losses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Pucheng [Cent China] , at 49,40 Japanese aircraft B4Y1 Jean x 7 Ki-51 Sonia x 30 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-51 Sonia: 1 damaged Resources hits 6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Singapore [UK] , at 22,51 Japanese aircraft E7K2 Alf x 1 Ki-43-I Oscar x 21 Ki-32/30 Mary/Ann x 28 Ki-48-I Lily x 32 Ki-21-II Sally x 101 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-48-I Lily: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged Ki-21-II Sally: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied Ships SS KXVII, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage Allied ground losses: 4 casualties reported Runway hits 26 Port hits 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Manila/Cavite [PH] , at 43,52 Japanese aircraft D4Y1-C Judy x 6 Ki-32/30 Mary/Ann x 142 Ki-21-II Sally x 58 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-32/30 Mary/Ann: 2 destroyed Ki-21-II Sally: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied ground losses: 34 casualties reported Guns lost 5 Airbase hits 4 Runway hits 8 Port hits 9 Port supply hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Pearl Harbor [Oahu] , at 114,72 Japanese aircraft A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke x 35 B5N2/Ki-47 Kate x 75 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 9 P-35A Hawk x 12 P-36A Mohawk x 4 P-39D Airacobra x 12 P-40B Tomahawk x 22 P-40E Warhawk x 8 P-43A Lancer x 4 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke: 7 destroyed B5N2/Ki-47 Kate: 12 destroyed, 4 damaged A very costly strike but, again, quite succesful. I am definitely going to hang around until Hilo reaches Level 2 in a couple of days. I have 100 Lillys ready to fly in on the day that happens to take over reduction duties. Allied aircraft losses F4F-3 Wildcat: 4 destroyed, 1 damaged P-35A Hawk: 10 destroyed P-36A Mohawk: 2 destroyed P-39D Airacobra: 6 destroyed, 1 damaged P-40B Tomahawk: 12 destroyed P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed TBD Devastator: 2 destroyed B-18A/B-23 Bolo: 4 destroyed B-25C/D Mitchell: 1 destroyed A-20B Boston: 1 destroyed SB2U-2 Vindicator: 1 destroyed SBD-3 Dauntless: 2 destroyed PBY-5 Catalina: 1 destroyed Allied ground losses: 4 casualties reported Airbase hits 2 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Pearl Harbor [Oahu] , at 114,72 Japanese aircraft G3M2/Ki-42 Nell x 23 G4M1/Ki-50 Betty x 46 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 7 P-35A Hawk x 2 P-36A Mohawk x 2 P-39D Airacobra x 7 P-40B Tomahawk x 11 P-43A Lancer x 4 Japanese aircraft losses G3M2/Ki-42 Nell: 2 destroyed, 4 damaged G4M1/Ki-50 Betty: 7 destroyed, 9 damaged Allied aircraft losses F4F-3 Wildcat: 1 destroyed P-36A Mohawk: 1 destroyed P-39D Airacobra: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged P-40B Tomahawk: 1 destroyed B-18A/B-23 Bolo: 1 destroyed Runway hits 4 I ordered in the Nells and Bettys again as this was another alpha strike. The results of the day have decided me to stick around. In the past week the Allies have lost over 1000 planes, the majority of them around Hawaii. I believe Andy's back is now broken and it is only a matter of time before he starts pulling out his forces. He hasn't been able to mount a bomber raid for some days and my recon tells me it is probably due to excessive runway damage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Cold Bay [Alaska] , at 105,36 Allied aircraft B-17E/F Fortress x 6 No Allied losses Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on ROC 50th Guerilla Regiment, at 38,37 Japanese aircraft Ki-51 Sonia x 24 Ki-15II/C5M2 Babs x 1 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 27 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on RAF No. 109 Base Force, at 23,49 Japanese aircraft Ki-32/30 Mary/Ann x 6 Ki-48-I Lily x 6 Ki-21-II Sally x 46 Ki-46-II/C7M2 Dinah x 1 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-32/30 Mary/Ann: 1 destroyed Ki-48-I Lily: 1 damaged Ki-21-II Sally: 2 destroyed, 3 damaged Allied ground losses: 21 casualties reported Guns lost 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 23,57 Allied aircraft Martin 139/B-10 x 9 No Allied losses Japanese Ships AK Higari Maru AK Kakuzan Maru AK Shinyo Maru #5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 13,15 Japanese aircraft A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke x 63 A5M4 Claude x 14 Allied aircraft T-IVa x 3 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses T-IVa: 3 destroyed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 13,26 Japanese aircraft A6M2-N Rufe-FF x 1 Allied aircraft Swordfish I x 2 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses Swordfish I: 2 destroyed Japanese Ships CLAA Nemo-san, Torpedo hits 1 Well, well, well!!! My CLAA takes a torpedo hit from the Stringbags. It manages to destroy both of them but they still get the job done. Not bad. Fortunately system damage is under 20 so Nemo-san can stay on station. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 23,57 Allied aircraft Martin 139/B-10 x 9 No Allied losses Japanese Ships MSW W.10, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AK Hidaka Maru AK Hozan Maru #5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Pearl Harbor [Oahu] at 114,72 Japanese aircraft A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke x 27 D3A2 Val/Ki-52 x 19 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 6 P-35A Hawk x 6 P-36A Mohawk x 1 P-39D Airacobra x 6 P-40B Tomahawk x 9 P-40E Warhawk x 3 P-43A Lancer x 4 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke: 4 destroyed Allied aircraft losses F4F-3 Wildcat: 3 destroyed P-35A Hawk: 3 destroyed P-39D Airacobra: 4 destroyed P-40B Tomahawk: 6 destroyed P-43A Lancer: 2 destroyed Allied Ships AK Boreas, Bomb hits 11, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Pearl Harbor [Oahu] at 114,72 Japanese aircraft D3A2 Val/Ki-52 x 2 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 3 P-35A Hawk x 3 P-36A Mohawk x 1 P-39D Airacobra x 2 P-40B Tomahawk x 2 P-40E Warhawk x 3 P-43A Lancer x 2 Japanese aircraft losses D3A2 Val/Ki-52: 1 damaged Allied Ships AK Nebraskan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coastal Guns at Pangim [India], 16,14, firing at TF 18 TF 18 troops unloading over beach at Pangim [India], 16,14 426 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

At the very least I want to get the squadrons off the ship before it sinks but, ideally, I'd also like to save the ship. System and flotation damage are both in the low 70s and it has at least 4 or 5 days of travel before it reaches Pangim so things don't look good but one has to try. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Manila/Cavite [PH] Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 47283 troops, 934 guns, 236 vehicles, Assault Value = 1273 Defending force 68698 troops, 1426 guns, 684 vehicles, Assault Value = 2327 Allied ground losses: 25 casualties reported Guns lost 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Sinyang [Cent China] Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 17690 troops, 273 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 603 Defending force 11537 troops, 169 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 516 Japanese ground losses: 14 casualties reported Guns lost 2 Allied ground losses: 8 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kuala [Sumatra] Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 2776 troops, 0 guns, 168 vehicles, Assault Value = 83 Defending force 908 troops, 13 guns, 2 vehicles, Assault Value = 26 Japanese max assault: 166 - adjusted assault: 64 Allied max defense: 22 - adjusted defense: 19 Japanese assault odds: 3 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Japanese ground losses: 52 casualties reported Vehicles lost 2 Allied ground losses: 32 casualties reported Guns lost 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Miri [Sarawak] Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 500 troops, 4 guns, 1 vehicles, Assault Value = 23 Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 0 Japanese max assault: 19 - adjusted assault: 6 Allied max defense: 0 - adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 6 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese forces CAPTURE Miri [Sarawak] base !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Pangim [India] Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 2398 troops, 29 guns, 2 vehicles, Assault Value = 1 Defending force 3260 troops, 21 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 166 Japanese ground losses: 8 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Dili [Port Timor] Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 20 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 2 Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 0 Japanese max assault: 2 - adjusted assault: 2 Allied max defense: 0 - adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Dili [Port Timor] base !!!
