Today we saw the first major airbattles of the war. Something odd is going on at Rangoon. All the allied forces in Burma has been converging at Rangoon over the past few days. Instead of attacking head on, Ive bypassed Rangoon, and Im cutting the city off. Two divisions are preparing to move in for the attack, while tank regiments and other units move north. In effect I have surrounded the vast majority of the allied forces in Burma.

In the past two days, Ive spotted several allied transports heading into the port. And the airfields of Rangoon are filled with allied fighters. I suspect he is trying to do a asian Dunkirk.

Ive ordered two Zero Datais to Bangkok with orders to do a fighter sweep over Rangoon, and I have one Nell Datai escorted by one Oscar Datai there aswell.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/21/41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day Air attack on Rangoon , at 29,34

Japanese aircraft
A6M2 Zero x 48

Allied aircraft
P-40B Tomahawk x 23
P-40E Warhawk x 28

Japanese aircraft losses
A6M2 Zero: 6 destroyed, 8 damaged

Allied aircraft losses
P-40B Tomahawk: 5 destroyed, 13 damaged
P-40E Warhawk: 6 destroyed, 14 damaged

The initial fighter sweep achieves a 2-1 kill ratio and a 3-1 damage ratio. Not extremely well, but not bad either considering that the AVG is at Rangoon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day Air attack on TF, near Rangoon at 29,34

Japanese aircraft
Ki-30 Ann x 16

Allied aircraft
P-40B Tomahawk x 18
P-40E Warhawk x 22

Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-30 Ann: 3 destroyed, 4 damaged

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day Air attack on TF, near Rangoon at 29,34

Japanese aircraft
Ki-30 Ann x 8

Allied aircraft
P-40B Tomahawk x 13
P-40E Warhawk x 11

Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-30 Ann: 1 destroyed

Dive bombers at Moulmein, I forgot to stand them down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day Air attack on TF, near Rangoon at 29,34

Japanese aircraft
G3M Nell x 12
Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 32

Allied aircraft
P-40B Tomahawk x 18
P-40E Warhawk x 22

Japanese aircraft losses
G3M Nell: 1 damaged
Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 3 destroyed, 5 damaged

Allied aircraft losses
P-40B Tomahawk: 5 destroyed, 8 damaged
P-40E Warhawk: 8 destroyed, 6 damaged

Allied Ships
AK Edgar Luckenbach, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage
AK Selma City, Torpedo hits 1

Aircraft Attacking:
4 x G3M Nell launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x G3M Nell launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x G3M Nell launching torpedoes at 200 feet

Here is the big surprise of the day. The Oscars were better dogfighters than the Zeros. They achieve a 4-1 kill ratio, and a 3-1 damage ratio. Whats interesting here is that the AVG were turning back after sustaining some losses. They must have a morale problem over there.

The transports hit were empty though. I wonder why.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Havent had time to do AAR updates for a couple of days. When we rejoin the action, lots have happened.

Here we have one brigade that is heading from the NEI to the Phillipines. Since the defence at Batavia was lighter than expected, I decided to shift one of the brigades over to the Phillipines instead. In effect this closes the NEI theater, and more troops will now be shifted to the Phillipines for mopping up-duties.

They were heading to disrupt the shipping between India and Australia, but stumbled across the Mauritius instead.

Same here. Off Andaman Islands, this time a DD with troops on it? Is he trying to do some sort of local counterattack? I hope so, I just reinforced the base on the northernmost tip of the Palembang-island (forgot its name). So if he thinks he is facing just some paratroopers there, he is wrong, he will be sailing straight into a Naval Guards unit and a Coastal Gun battery.

Time to rest my Sallys now after this attack. I should have disrupted the fort-building there for a while again. Things are heating up in southern China where my units are approaching Nanning. I might move the Sallys over there, or I might keep them here around Manilla. We'll see.

Tomorrow I'll try another probing attack at Changsa. I will also try to finally defeat the british at Hong Kong. I have also brought in 2 divisions and one brigade to move by land from Indochina to Nanning in southern China. These units will reach Nanning in a couple of days. This is the reaction to his attack in Canton. Since a HR forbids me to land in non-base hexes. Therefore I am forced to do this rather ankward detour.

I am currently gathering troops and ships for my next big offensive in the central pacific, code name EMPIRE. Forces allocated for this operation are one IJA division, the entire KB, 5 BBs and a handful of CAs and DDs. I should have all the forces in place in two weeks.

He tries to counterattack south of Manilla. 1-1 odds, but he loses 3 times as many troops as I. I can afford it, and Ive got two brigades and one division coming into the area from Burma and the NEI to help mopping up the last resistance here.

Yeah, problem is I cant. He's got 6 Chinese Corps in Canton. Its a good thing too that I only went in with one division, since I would have lost Canton if I had only a brigade there to defend.

To counter that, Ive landed two divisions in Hanoi and Im marching them along the coastline to Nanning. When Nanning falls I'll be able to encircle those 6 Chinese Corps.

Some interesting developments today.

He has pulled back all troops in the PI into Manilla. Im sure he thinks it is a smart way to try to hold out for many months in that city hex. In reality he is playing right into my hands though. Now with the resources at Clark in my hands I can starve him to death, and I can focus more on using artillery to kill him. As a consequence, Ive sent the 200 Sallies from the Phillipines to help out in southern China.

He is attacking in northern China. If I fail to hold him here, I will be pushed further back towards the coastline. I am not too concerned though, since things are going good in the central mainland of China, and Ive got plenty of reinforcements to throw into the fray from other parts of China if things should go bad.

I always shift the divisions along the Chinese coast to Canton. That places another 2 divisions or so there.

Manila just became a troop training ground. That is what I use it for. I start cycling in my lower experience infantry units and get them to the 80's with safe combat experience before I ship them to the front. A few deliberate attacks boost them nicely.

WHAT AM I DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the allies in our next game.

I always shift the divisions along the Chinese coast to Canton. That places another 2 divisions or so there.

Yeah, they take a week or two to arrive though, and the Chinks arrive at Canton on day 4 or 5 of the war.

Manila just became a troop training ground. That is what I use it for. I start cycling in my lower experience infantry units and get them to the 80's with safe combat experience before I ship them to the front. A few deliberate attacks boost them nicely.

WHAT AM I DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the allies in our next game.

Hehe, just dont read the opening parts of this AAR too closely!

Nah...........I look forward to the fun. I am looking forward to tossing a few kinks in your plans.

Be careful coming to play in my south Pac area though. Remember, it is a long way home with holes in your ships. LOL

We will see how you enjoy Fortress Java. Or where ever I decide to make my stand.

Time for an update. We are at the end of January 1942.

Im going to write a short recap of whats happened up until now, and then Im going to try to post more regular updates.

Burma:
This theater is quiet since the fall of Rangoon. He pulled everything out, and I have captured everything up to Akyab and Mytkinta. He does some airforce strikes on Akyab every now and then, but I have decided not to bother with that for now.

Malaya:
Only Singapore remains in British hands. I have entered the island with 4 divisions, but it is not enough to capture Singapore, as he has pretty much his entire Malaya army here. Reinforcements are on the way. I have re-routed three divisions from China to Singapore, they should arrive in a couple of days. I expect to make the final assault here within two weeks.

Bad news is he has re-populated the airfield here. He is operating B-17s and Hudsons from Singapore, and I cant bomb the base right now because of the insane amount of Flak. This means my shipping in this area is very much at risk. I have sent five fighter wings to the area to try to counter him. I have something like 50 Zeros and 70 Oscars on LR CAP in the area, but they dont always attack the enemy strikes.

Java:
Only Soerebaja still holds. I have two brigades and parts of one division trying to take the city, but the attacks has failed. He has sent in airforce units here too, and shipping in the sea-area is being hit sporadically by airunits. I have sent two Zero and two Oscar wings here aswell. I will also use Bettys and Helens to try to close down the airfield.

NEI:
A couple of small bases remain in allied hands. One base on Timor, Parmekasan off Soerebaja, and the two bases west of Palembang. I am shifting small units around to mop these up.

South Pacific:
I have captured Noumea and Norfolk island. Port Moresby and Rabaul and Guadalcanal are in my hands. I will have to decide whether to shift over to the defensive here, or try for NZ or Suva. Not sure yet.

Central Pacific:
I have Christmas Island and Palmyra. Im probing Midway to see if I should attempt a landing with a division. Recon tells me he has over 300 guns and 15 000 men there. He has probably sent one of the divisions from Pearl over here. I might have to settle for Wake (wake is still in allied hands).

North Pacific:
I have taken everything up to Duch Harbor, except one or two bases. Will start to fortify up here.

China:
A bloody mess.
Im stalled at Hong Kong...amazingly enough. He has launched a counterattack that is in the Canton hex...I think he has 7 corps here. I tried to do a landing to outflank him at Pakhoi, but he managed to rush reinforcements in to block me. The units in this landing are now heading to Singapore.

In central China, I finally managed to subdue the defenders of Changsa. I eliminated the pocket a couple of days ago, and I think the final tally was something like 50 000 POWs. Units from this area will try to move down the rail-line. I might be able to capture another pocket. In his attempt to break the cauldron at Changsa, he sent ~100 000 men into the hex southwest of Changsa. I am now using fast units to try to lock him there in combat, while Im going to try to use the units from Changsa and the cauldron to sweep south behind his back down the railline. I should find out in a week or so if this will work. If it doesnt, then Im forced to reduce central China the slow...ww1-like way.

Northern China has seen a Chinese counterattack that has taken two bases, not sure whether Im going to try to recapture these bases now or not.

PI:
He holds at Manilla with all the PI-units. Im bringing in lots of artillery to pund him to rubble here. My bombardment attacks are killing 2-500 men per day. I dont know how long he can last, but Ive got time to let him stay here.

Analysis.

I made a misstake when I committed the 3 divisions from SRA to China. The reason I did that was because I thought I could capture his 7 corps at Canton, something that would have opened up all of southern China. Instead my divisions got bogged down in a pointless sidetrack.

I am now shifting them back to the action. They will go to Singapore together with 4 engineer regiments from the siege of Manilla. All these units should arrive in 7-14 days at Johore Bharu, and then Singapore should fall quickly. When Singapore falls I will have eight divisions there. Some of these will help break up the stalemate at Soerebaja if I still haven taken the base. The rest will be used either in Canton or Manilla.

I am really hurting from his subs. I have decided to counter this by
a) removing all allied bases that can give him naval-search aid. Will take 2-3 weeks.
b) creating special hunter-killer groups based around the APDs. I plan on having 4 of these.
c) changing most light bombers to Helens, and base these around a sea-area to spot and attack subs. The spotted subs will be attacked by the hunter-killers.

I have two really good weapons right now. One is the KB, which is somewhere in the centpac, and the secon is the Ki-21 Sally swarm. I have gathered all my Sallys in a huge 200+ airunit. This unit is at Clark right now to try to shut down Manilla, and after that they will go to shut down Soerebaja.

After I have cleared all these pockets of resistance, I will have to decide on whether to go for Midway, somewhere else in the pac, Ceylon, India, Australia, or over to the defensive.

I need to close down Soerebaja. This is a good first step. I took heavy losses to the dive bombers, but two-three more attacks like this one will close the airfield. I need to have freedom of operation for my transports around Java, so it is worth the casualties. We will attack like this tomorrow aswell.

Allied ground losses:
362 casualties reported

My bombardment is grinding down the Manilla defenders. Today a heavy artillery brigade arrived from the Kwangtung-area. Lets see what the 240mm mortars can do against the defenders of Manilla. Tomorrow Im ordering another bombardment to see how effective that one is, depending on the results I might try a probing attack the day after that.

He has 11 units caught here out in the open. 65 000 troops. I have units behind them (see below) and Im working on a solution to close them in entirely. If I manage to do that, I will be able to capture all these 11 units.

I failed to take Hangchow via coup de main. Instead I will have enough units here not to be thrown out of the hex, and surround the Chinese army east of us.

I dont understand how the casualties can look like that after a 1 to 1 attack. Truly shocking.

Defeated Japanese Units Retreating!

He has sent in 30th Aus brigade to Timor. Good to know he committed them here. Here I will dig in and wait. I will clear Singapore and Java, and then bring in the KB and the battleships. This is a good spot to annihilate the defenders, I can easily cut them off with the KB, and I can use my BBs to pound him into submission. Midway is cancelled for now, and instead the naval units are heading to this area.

There are 4-5 small bases left in the NEI besides Koepang (on Timor) and Soerebaja. I have decided to take these bases one by one to remove his ability to use naval search planes to aid his submarines. Unfortunately I sent in too few troops in the first wave both at Parmeksan (off Soerebaja) and here. Now I have to remedy that, and reinforcements are coming to both bases.

I need to close down Singapore. I have flown in all my Sallys to Khota Bharu. Tomorrow I will launch a 200+ aircraft attack aimed at the Singapore airfields. I dont know how much casualties I'll suffer, but I have to try to clear the air around Singapore, otherwise my ship-losses will be too high. Ive got something like 60 ships coming into this area now carrying three divisions. And a couple of days behind them, Ive got another 40 coming in carrying 5 engineer regiments.

Ive got roughly 100 fighters on LRCAP in the area, but they are proving inefficient. So...in come the Sallys. For the Emperor!

Close to 200 Sallys take off to hit Singapore. We manage to get a pretty good attack, but the cost is high. All in all 26 Sallys are lost, with very high damage numbers. Looking over my Sallys the day after the attack, my units are around 60-70 percent strenght. They will stand down today, and repeat this attack tomorrow. I need to close down Singapore for at least a week while my transports transit the area.

His subs are amazingly ineffective off Singapore. All my transports have arrived at Johore Bharu, and I think my losses are neglectable, five damaged cargo ships, most from air-attacks. I have unloaded 70% of the combat troops, and by tomorrow they should all be ashore.

This is the pocket south of Changsa. Im slowly moving more units in, while two units are rushing to close the cauldron to the south. Once I have closed the pocket, I will start with the actual attacks. The chinese units here should be in bad shape since they have been in this hex for several weeks. First as they tried to save the surrounded units at Changsa, and after that when I pinned them in place with my counterattacks. They should be surrounded in two days, we will see how well they fight after that.

In other news, he is doing a counterattack at Pakhoi. The naval base that starts the game in Chinese hands. I only have two brigades left here after moving all the combat units off to Singapore. Im at fort level 3, with 350 combat factors, and he just moved seven units in here. I fear I might lose all these units. One HQ, two brigades and three construction batallions. Im ordering some Sallys over here to try to disrupt the attackers.

YES! Finally we defeat the last pocket on Java. It took a while, and it is my own fault for not taking them seriously enough. I attacked in penny packages, and paid the price in time for it.

PHEW. Well, maybe I can stall him here at Pakhoi now. If I lock him in place, I might be able to sneak past him with three tank regiments coming from Indochina. Maybe he made another fatal misstake here...

Chinese units preform abysmal on the offensive again. The cauldron south of Changsa is safe. I managed to close it with a division and a tank regiment, and that was enough to hold it closed against these four Chinese corps.

I have made an offer to Castor, which he has accepted, that we call a truce in China. Right now I have rougly 25-30 Chinese corps "captured", seven in the cauldron south of Changsa, something like fifteen at Hengchow, six at Canton and five at Pakhoi. If we continue like this, the Chinese front will be horribly disrupted and I think its a fair chance that I could take all of China. Now, we all know that the land combat model is somewhat flawed when it comes to these large land-campaigns, and right now China is just a cause of frustration, first for me, and now for him. We both want to focus on the real war, and not spend all the time and effort and frustration on this sideshow. I also believe the Japanese player will benefit too much from capturing all of China.

So, I offered a truce, where he withdraws from all bases along the railline. I take these bases, he keeps the others. We have a truce for a year or until 1944. That way we can stabilize the frontline again, the war remains somewhat historical, and we can focus on the real war. Im now moving away my units so he can retreat with his units. It should take a while for all the movement to take place, but in a couple of weeks everything should be done.
