Allied CVs made their first appearance in the IO and made me pay for it. I had thought that India would be a land based campaign so I had been careless with my surface units. Time to change my defensive plan yet again. The only highlight for me was sinking 3 Allied subs and plastering Etorofo Jima with my BBs. Hopefully my CA that ate two torps will make it home.

Well the KB has finally come out and play. Looks like the IJN has decided to snatch Etoforu Is. back from the Allies.

As luck would have it, i have Spruance sitting off the Japanese home waters with TF58 ready to pounce with about 1,000 Carrier aircraft at his disposal. Orders have been given for the "decisive" battle, of the war.

To the north of the battle, the entire 11th Air Force at Paramushiro has been put on high alert. 300 B24's have been put on 100% naval search, 400 B25J's have been set to Naval attack, as well as 100 P47 Thunderbolts. 100 P38J's have also been assigned to provide LRCAP over TF58. In addition, 60 Black Widow's and 40 Catalina's have been assigned to night naval attack missions.

Despite all this firepower, i somehow dread the upcoming battle. Would be a waste to lose this game after 1 and 1/2 years of game play in late 1944 as the allies.

No carrier battle but my feint towards Etorofo drew Allied 4E bombers beyond the range of their fighter escort and to their doom. Over 200 4E bombers were shot down yet I still lost close to 50 fighters. Many of these were Kamikaze units flying CAP so maybe they rammed.

In India I retook Bangalore with a counter attack force. If my estimates are correct I may have more AV in India then the Allies do. Let's see if I can take Karachi a second time.

The sad thing is that is good as this turn went for me, due to strategic losses and shipping losses Kenny still outscored me nearly 2:1 (654:347). Still, any turn in which I am only slapped around and not totally pounded has to be seen as a good turn

I am currently reading Richard Frank's "Downfall" and this gave me an idea. Japan was planning a suicidal air drop on Tinian to destroy the B-29s base but it was foiled by Ultra and the transports were destroyed on the ground. When I saw an AF icon but no troop icon at Ketoi Jima I decided to see if I could try something like this. I ended up destroying 8 Coronados on the ground. Not as dramitic as raiding Tinian but still fun when you are 99% on the defensive. I only see 3 LCUs at Tinian so I have not ruled out a raid yet.

The CVs did not engage each other but their air groups did. I made another run against Entorofo...right into the Allied CVs. Fortunetly for me they were too far away and went after a damaged DD instead of the KB. Brave but stupid unescorted 4E bombers did that and paid the price once again.

Not much to report. Kenny advised me that he has issed orders to his B-24s not to fly any further missions without escorts. Hopefully they will be as obediant in following orders as my fighter pilots are.

Just remember that once you land in the home islands, I can commit my reserves for a counter-attack. Not so on Okinawa.

A TF of damaged ships was offered up as target practice on the hopes of scoring a few flak kills. No such luck. Still, it is more honorable a fate than to be sunk in port. It is interesting, however, that even though ordered not to fly without escorts, the Alled 4E bombers flew unescorted. Once the Allied CVs leave the area I may see if I can lure more 4E bombers to their doom.
