Currently I am gathering troops for the next operation. I am torn between reinforcing my troops on Luzon to get that theater done, and starting the next big amphibious operation while the amphibious bonus lasts.
Any advice there?


Amphibious as:
- You still have bonus but not for long
- You need all ressources as early as possible (working for you rather than for the allies
- Allies will have big problems to reinforce PI if you own all the ground around. On the other hand, it can more easily resupply/ reinforce his bases let's say in DEI for example if you cannot interfere --> You will have more time to obtain a surrender in the PI after the DEI

Agreed. More invasions, then.

Since opponent reads this now and then, I´m sure you understand why I won´t reveal how many troops I have available, or what target I pick. Not that he has much with which to intervene. A bunch of CLs and DDs, at best. His air forces seem pretty depleted; he hasn´t used his British bombers for a while, - hasn´t used the Swordfish and Vildebeest for a month, in fact - and the Dutch didn´t get more than 10 planes airborne at any one time during the last month. He lost a lot of planes in December, attacking my various landing forces, but I wouldn´t have thought I had wiped him out that thoroughly. I´ll just have to be prepared for a surprise, then.

At the same time, my carriers attacked Java, and the port at Darwin. They caught CL Sumatra at sea; it took 13 250kg bomb, so I think I can safely assume it is sunk. The strikes against Darwin hit two destroyers, an S-boat and a freighter. The sub and one of the destroyers were reported sunk, but the sub has been removed from the sunk list already.
On the other hand, the whole area was crawling with submarines - at least seven seperate attacks by at least four different subs, three Dutch and one US. One attack put a torpedo into CV Soryu, which was seriously damaged as the fuel storage exploded; I expect it to survive, however judging from the repair time for the previously damaged CV Hiryu, it should be out for some time.

Status: offline 		There are not any visuals, just a note to share about a few things. I just started a game as the Japanese (my only game as the Japanese) and now I can see why the current game presented here is so challenging. At this time, the Japanese have so many more resources. Furthermore, my esteemed opponent sent all of his carriers to one broad geographical area rather than a PH attack, which overwhelmed my meager forces. It was a clever strategic move to insure high victory points and the assurance of invasion at significant bases with important resources for the Japanese. He certainly is dominating the areas and I did use fighters as bombers since I knew that they were no match for the massive carrier attacks to come. I do feel good about the two separate sub attacks on his carriers and the delay in their being available anytime soon. They don't call me SubCaptain for nothing . As for my esteemed opponent's overall long-term strategy, it shall be interesting to see what happens when reinforcements arrive and I add more carriers to the ones that I currently have along with the great majority of surface warships. He has great forces but can't have his carriers be patrolling everywhere and now he needs to protect his vast acquisitions which was my only recourse up to now. Still, I am impressed with his strategy that is proving to be very effective in his areas of influence.

Thank you. However, to avoid confusion, "esteemed opponent" should be reserved for referring to you. I, on the other hand, am the "honorable opponent", although "unstoppable Japanese steamroller" is acceptable, too.


In the meantime, Manila fell several days ago, and Singapore just yesterday. Capturing Singapore, in particular, provided a spectactular boost to my VP score - the VP ratio, as presented in WitpStaff, was 70% before Manila fell, 78% the day before Singapore fell, and is 120% now. The troops surrendering in Singapore alone were worth 1200 VP.

I have several plans up my sleeve right now, and once the troops that captured Singapore have had a few days to rest and recover casualties, I should be able to implement most of them at once.

Status: offline 		It is now the 25th of February. Japanese troops landed at Semarang, on Java. It was very lightly defended, with no chance to push back a reinforced division. I now have an intact, decent-sized port on Java, with base forces and fighter cover already in place, to land reinforcements, so that the end of the amphibious bonus will not be problem for the conquest of Java.

Status: offline 		On Luzon, I have started another assault against Bataan two days before; I had 1:1 assault odds for two days, with the fort level steadily decreasing, so it might be that Bataan will fall soon.

Here´s the juiciest part of the updated list of Allied ship losses - Japanese losses since the last summary are 1 xAK sunk and CV Soryu damaged. The Allies are now reported to have lost 196 ships.
