Thx for te advice Much truth in what is said. Still, this game is a two player effort and both sides have to feel that they enjoy the game. I don't want to stop my training program completely, but I'm willing to reduce it in size and length. Think this is fair since Andy has been positive to impose restrictions on how he deploy his forces. Would have been better if we discussed this a month earlier though!-) It's uncertain whether Andy will reinforce the Bonins, I think so. Building our air power again. Iwo is again 0 damage after a 4E strike. Enemy activity near Miri is the typical diversion manouver. The reserves I got for the DEI have been rested, so he may divert as much as he would like A more annoying fact is that 4-5 undefended bases like Imphal may be in range of enemy paras from Andaman. Grumble, may have to fly in a garrison. Here's a good news for you: US light carrier Belleau Wood sinks AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 02/01/45 Air Combat I'm gearing up the training camps again: Day Air attack on Kweiyang , at 41,35 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 27 C6N1-S Myrt x 32 Ki-84-Ia Frank x 66 No Japanese losses Airbase hits 3 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Kweiyang , at 41,35 Japanese aircraft D4Y Judy x 171 B5N Kate x 27 B6N Jill x 18 B7A Grace x 79 Ki-102a Randy x 50 No Japanese losses Airbase hits 8 Runway hits 133 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32 Japanese aircraft C6N1-S Myrt x 26 Ki-84-Ic Frank x 33 Ki-102a Randy x 27 Ki-46-III Dinah x 3 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 12 casualties reported Airbase hits 2 Runway hits 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy is bombing targets in Burma: Day Air attack on Kratie , at 30,43 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 9 B-25J Mitchell x 30 No Allied losses Airbase hits 2 Airbase supply hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Bangkok , at 29,40 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 14 B-25J Mitchell x 5 No Allied losses Runway hits 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Palembang , at 20,55 Allied aircraft F4U-1D Corsair x 6 SB2C Helldiver x 17 Liberator VI x 6 Beaufighter VIC x 3 Mosquito FB.VI x 12 B-29 Superfortress x 77 Allied aircraft losses SB2C Helldiver: 2 damaged Liberator VI: 2 damaged B-29 Superfortress: 1 destroyed, 11 damaged Japanese ground losses: 93 casualties reported Guns lost 2 Airbase hits 7 Airbase supply hits 6 Runway hits 114 Port fuel hits 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see I did right in trying to move the Shokaku out, just wasn't lucky with the timing.
