On the 30th japs captured Mussai I. (SW Pac), Magwe (Burma) and Talaud I. (DEI).
They also landed in Finschafen.

On the 31st Tacloban garrison surrendered to the Japanese: 1’932 allied soldiers have been taken prisoners.

Also on the 31st Kido Butai has been spotted in the Solomon Sea, moving SE. Hiryu and Akagi have been identified. I don’t know if others carriers are present.
My 2 CVs, as you can see in the attached picture, are far, in the south. They need to refuel at Townsville. Then I’ll decide if I will engage the enemy.
I have also the Saratoga in Noumea, escorting the unloading convoy with the 2. USMC Div on board. When the unloading will be completed, the Sara will run W, to meet the other two carriers. Yorktown left Papeete two days ago but will also reach SW Pac.
From Brisbane a refuelling TF is loading fuel now and will sail in two days to support operations.
From Ceylon the 2 british carriers are approaching Derby. They will arrive in about four days and after refuelling, they will transfer to SW Pac to cooperate with US Navy.

Singapore

Some success for the enemy against the fortress. 1:1 odds and fort reduced to level 5; 2’532 losses for the japs and 3’851 for me!

Philippines

Also in Manila the things are going bad. The fort has been reduced to 0 and with an odd of 1:1, I suppose the next time the japs will attack, they will conquer the capital.

SW Pac

Lae has been occupied by the japs. This is the obvious step to capture SE part of New Guinea and Port Moresby.
The KB is now heading NW, towards the Vitiaz Strait, between New Britain and Finschafen. My carriers are still heading towards Townsville so I suppose they will arrive on late anyway.

On the 2nd the japs captured Emirau I. (SW Pac) and Victoria Point (Burma).
On the 3rd 119 Kate attacked Port Moresby airfield. This is the prove that the entire KB is in the Solomon Sea. I’ll keep my two carriers away. I don’t want to loose them. They will attack only when the 2 british and Saratoga will join the TF.
Meanwhile the japs landed and captured Buna.

China

At Henchow my garrison is holding, and inflicted heavy losses to the enemy, about 2’700 casualties.

DEI

On 5th I lost 5 AK around Java, while Baby-KB is attacking every ship that is sailing for or to the DEI. On the same day Pomala falled in japs hand.
I have now the 2 british carrier refuelling in Derby. I will send them north and try to organize an ambush to the light carriers.

Malaya

Assault on Singapore on 5th and fort reduced to 4. 2’918 japs dead, while I lost 1’568 men.

SW Pac

Kido Butai is now heading SW, to pass Milne Bay. Recon says there are not transport present in the numerous TFs. Maybe the carriers are only trying a raid in the Coral Sea.
Enterprise and Lexington are heading south east, and they will meet with Saratoga.

I sent the 2 british carriers off Java and they arrived south of Malang but the planes didn’t attack. The surprise is gone and now I need to retreat my carriers to avoid the distruction.

Singapore

During an assault on 9th, the odds were 4:1 on japs favour and the fort have been reduced to 4.
The end is approaching.

Burma

Mandalay falled on 9th. My troops are retreating to north, to organize an efficient defense. Chinese troops are moving slowly into Burma from east.

The british carriers withdrawn towards Indian Ocean. They will then sail again towards Australia.

SW Pac

On the night of 10th japs landed on Buin
In the morning my three carriers, Enterprise, Saratoga and Lexington surprised enemy ships off Milne Bay. I monitored Kido Butai and I noticed that enemy carriers left the area, direction Truk.
During the first raid my planes hit 3 AP, 2 PC and 1 MSW. In the afternoon bad weather prevent my planes to attack again. Anyway 2 AP and 1 PC are reported sunk.
Now it’s time to run away, full speed. The 3 carriers will then meet Yorktown off Rockhampton.

Burma

Japanese reached Lashio. For the moment I should be able to stop them, but if enemy reinforcements will arrive, I’ll be forced to withdraw again.

SW Pac

The revenge of the Death Star. My carriers turned south and run away. But a TF with CA Pensacola, CL Achilles and CL Leander lost their way and remained three hexes north. 129 Vals and 144 Kates struck my cruisers and sunk all three of them. Ouch!
I’ll continue to run away with my carriers. I cannot afford the KB with 3 CV.

Singapore

A disastrous day also in Malaya. Singapore falls and 99’489 british soldiers have been taken prisoners.

Philippines

The fort of Manila have been lowered down to 0. Maybe tomorrow will be the end for the capital city.

I have to consider Java virtually lost. Imperial navy is always present there and I cannot employ my planes because the airfields are constantly shelled. My ships cannot evacuate the troops and so I’m really immobilized. It’s a good strategy by Chuck.
In addition Soerabaya FELL today (thanks Blackhorse for the info about the past sense). In harbour I had about 15 damaged AK, all scuttled. Over 8’000 dutch soldiers are now prisoners.

Burma

Lashio also fell today. My troops are now retreating towards Mitkyina.

SW Pac

The KB is disappeared. My carriers are now heading back to Australia to refuel.

On 14th japs occupied Madioen (Java), Mitkyina (Burma) and Sampit (Borneo). With the loss of Mitkyina the Burma Road is now closed.
On 15th Manila fort is lowered to 0, but the defendes held. The defenders are very stubborn. Instead on this day Taung Gyi fell.

Wenchow finally fell on 16th and 56’113 chinese have been captured.

DEI

Enemy troops are marching north in Java. Kragen fell on 16th.
On 17th jap warships shelled Batavia airfield, destroying a lot of planes. On the 18th japs occupied Djokjakarta, on their way towards Batavia.

Philippines

Japs landed and occupied Guiuan, in 18th.
Manila resisted another assault, despite the fort has been lowered to 0. But here I have very tought soldiers.

Japan continue the advance. On 20th imperial troops occupied Puerto Princesa and Masbate I. in the Philippines.
On 21st they took Lombok and they reduced to 0 the fort of Manila.
On the 22nd Tjilitjap (DEI), San Jose (Philippines) and Samo (Bismarck Archipelago) fell.
But also Port Blair has been conquered by Japan on the 22nd.

The Imperial Navy shelled Koepang during the night. I suppose that invasion of Timor is near.
Meanwhile four BBs shelled Batavia and some troops landed in Pontianak.

Philippines

With the loss of Boac, only Manila, remains in my hands. But the capita city will fall soon.
The first phase of the war should end in about three weeks. It’s better to start thinking about the future defense plans.

The end for the braves of Manila is near. The fort has been definitely lowered to zero. 1’445 courageous lost their lives, but 1’085 japanese paid tributes.

Borneo

Pontianak fell today, after two days of fighting: 1’929 dutch soldiers have been captured.

DEI

Yokosuka 4. SNLF landed yesterday in Dili, and today captured the undefended island. My recon didn’t even spot the enemy ships...

Tonight two differents enemy cruisers TF shelled Palembang and Koepang (Timor), and devastated my bases.
A BB TF shelled instead Batavia, with the same result.

Philippines

Wow. Manila defenders hold again the city. They stopped another delib attack made by japanese troops, that lost 1’252 men, while I lost 1’767.

Japs troops begun to land in Koepang this morning, while opeartions in Java also are continuing.

SW Pac

I can see a lot of movements and air activity in this area. I suppose that Chuck intend invade PM asap. I don’t intend engage all the carriers that I dispose now in a decisive battle with KB at this stage of the war. Insteat I send two carriers in Cent Pac to support landing operations in Canton I. that will take place when KB will appear to surely support operations against PM.

Bandoend has been captured by jap forces.
The invasion of Timor is continuing. My Fortress and Hudson attacked the enemy fleet hitting only one AP. Koepang fell in the afternoon.
I’ll try a raid with the two british carriers. They are now in Perth.

SW Pac

Jap troops advance and captured Wau. I suppose that PM will be attacked only when Lae afld will be at size 4. This is, normally, the way to proceed. Since now it’s still at 3, I’ll try to reinforce PM with the 11. Australian Brigade, now in Townsville, and the 29. Brigade in Rockhampton. The Lexington will cover the operation.

It’s impossible to reinforce Port Moresby. Enemy aviation it’s too strong. At least 30 Kate from Lae and 20 Nell from Rabaul.

Philippines

Manila fell today. At least I hold the city two months more than historically have done the allied. Anyway, 26’616 allied soldiers have been taken as prisoners.

DEI

Only Dili remain in my hands, but it’s a matter of days. Same history for Batavia. It’s now time to think about the next jap offensive.

On 3rd , with the fall of Dili and the capture of 1’566 dutch soldiers, the Timor operation is over. My B-17 tried to bomb the baby-KB with no result.
On 4th finally one hit by my submarine. The dutch DD KXVIII hit with one torpedo BB Ise. She seems not so badly damaged but I’m sure this will send her in Japan after the DEI campaign.

The recon spotted a convoy NE of Milne Bay. The Saratoga group will investigate but will be very careful. If KB is in the back of this convoy I don’t want to fall in an ambush.

8’529 dutch soldiers surrendered in Merak. This was the last fighting group in Java, except Pamakasan.
Also Sabang, in Sumatra, fell today.

South Pac

Reinforcements are arriving from Panama Canal. I need a few more weeks. Troops are heading towards Pago-Pago and Christmas Island.
The defense line will be Noumea-Suva-Pago Pago-Christma I.-Palmyra. When those garrisons will be reinforced, I will organize an offensive.
Meanwhile I’m waiting for the next move of the japs.

I’m sending Saratoga, Lexington and Force Z north, in the Coral Sea. Chuck is continuing bombing Port Moresby and so I suppose this will be the next target of the Imperial Navy.
Recon has spotted 1 enemy APD NE of Luganville. Enterprise and Yorktown are sailing towards New Hebrides coming from Suva. They will sprint to intercept the enemy ship or, as I suppose, the enemy ships.

Japan Empire occupied Kai I. on the 18th , just off Darwin. On the 19th Padang fell, on Sumatra.

SW Pac

Lexington and Saratoga CVBGs (TF17), with Force Z, have been spotted by a Glen launched by an enemy SS.
Yorktown and Enterprise (TF27) have been spotted on 17th when their planes sunk a japanese AV north of Luganville.

I really don’t know yet what Chuck is doing exactly, but I’m continuing to suppose that Port Moresby will be the main objective.
The garrison there is low on supplies and there is not too much that I can do. Enemy air force is too strong and my transport are always under enemy fire.

Now TF 17 will run W, towards enemy submarine. I hope that the escort will sink him, while TF 27 will enter in Noumea to refuel.

My LB-30 Liberators taking-off from Townsville, placed 3 bombs on an enemy AK at Milne Bay, but they didn’t attack Kido Butai.
All the japanese navy is now south of Milne Bay, heading for Port Moresby. I will now withdrawn Saratoga and Lexington. It’s obviously useless sending them in the jawl of the shark.
I need all the 4 carriers in order to hope to inflict some damage to the death star. Enterprise and Yorktown are refuelling in Noumea. They will then immediately sail north.

I-129 has been hit 3 times off Australian coast by carrier’s escort as I hoped a couple of days ago.
Meanwhile the invasion of Port Moresby is taking place. The enemy fleet is one hex away from my base and recon spotted seven carriers.
My carriers are grouping between New Caledonia and Australia, waiting also for the two british carriers, but I need few more days. PM will surely be lost, but I hope to engage with some result the death star.

Port Moresby fell today. For the japanese was an easy job. 7’079 soldiers have been taken prisoners.

My carriers are refuelling west of Noumea, but they are still waiting for the british TF, three days away. I think that when they will be grouped, the KB will be already gone.

On the 26th the japs took the Nicobar Island
During the other dazs, Chuck managed to occupy Pamakasan I., in front of Soerabaya, Merauke and Kiamana on dutch part of New Guinea, and Aru Island.

In SW Pac my carriers are now grouped NW of Noumea but all the six flattops are now returning to Noumea. Kido Butai is gone and I need now to plan my future defense, and waiting for the next move of Chuck.
