Looks like he is going to make his stand at Palembang. Will need to fly in suppies for the part of the 33Div that has landed there. This will turn into a mainly airbourne battle now as I dont think I will risk sending any more ships in now.

Should have gone with my first thought again and pulled back the transports when they missed thier landing. I can not belive just how bad I am playing at the moment.

News for the japanese just keeps getting better all the time. Previous report of sinking of CV Enterprise incorrect. Intelligence reports ship is still in service That means the 2 carriers I had thought killed at the battle of Shortlands are still out there. Current score 4 Zip Allied way.

At least I have a double Ace. LT Endo H. all hail Endo

Our luck around Palembang just keeps going from bad to worse. Last two days had no problem getting fighters over the target, so I send in the bombers this turn and lose more than on any other day. The fighters where just no where to be seen.

My single tojo is still bringing down aircraft. I dont think I have had a single tojo shot down. Op's losses account for all the lost planes I think will have to check this out.

Ki-57-I Topsys flying to Praboemoelih intercepted. Will need to see what this does as there are no matching events in the combat report. They should also have had Zeros as thier escorts. will need to check for losses againt the groups.

Palembang (48,91):
Allied Air attacks on Djambi, Palembang and Praboemoelih all in all about even.
I was sweeping and ground attacking Djambi as next turn the 1st para's will land here and then move to Palembang.
Armour is rushing down the right side of samatra about 10 days away from Praboemoelih. I don't think the 33 div will run out of supply by then. I may send some supply by plane in a few days will see how my fighters are doing.
His bombers got hit hard going after a AMc on ASW patrol and a xAXL picking up resources from Singkep new double ace and ace.

Ambon:
Made a quick Surface raid on Ambon to scare off his PT's or at least distract them. Surface group are going back next turn to cover my landing at Namlea (size 2 airfield). Once captured will fly in light bombers to work over Ambon.

China:
He has started to send fighter to cover his bomber attacks on 41st Division, at 88,41 must be lossing some aircraft there to my Tojo.
I am moving a div by rail from Kaoping to the battle at Kweisui (92,35). If I can push them back onto the Ningsia road and lower thier supply by cutting the Hami Road I should be able to destroy large amounts of his men in the deserts there.

combat at 89,39 this attack is to try and make him move his defences does he let me take Yenan or move in troops. Will he bring some troops back from the Tsiaots area to prevent me marching down into Sian.

My attack of Pingsia is ready to kick off. All I need now is for my AA unit to arrive and away we go. I know he will hit this attack with every bomber he has when it moves in 4 to 6 days.

New Britain:
With all the Carrier aircraft in the area I will start readying the invasion forces for Lae and Buna. 1 week.

Todays word is "Submarine" 17 ASW attack, Sub vs Sub and Sub attack in 2 days. The Average so is 2 to 4 a day. Looks like all his subs have been home and refueled and are now back on station. The next month or two is going to be hell.

Tjilitjap:
My port attacks on Tjilitjap has scared his fleet out of the port they look like they are high tailing it to Australia. Most likly Perth. I don't think he has realised that the betties at Kendari have been withdrawn.

Celebes:
Unloading a supply convoy to Kendari that wiil load resources and return to japan.
Invasion force at top of map will make these two landings and the other invasion fore will keep picking up the small islands. While picking up the smaller islands I am trying to be a little scattered in my approach as I tend to find a sub waiting.

Subs:
I have created a wall between Noumea to Waipapa (NZ). AdmSpruance is being very careful with his shipping. What I hope to do with this wall is find his shipping lane and then follow it back towards Pogo Pogo. I think I will use about 50% of my subs in this area and another 30% short range subs near sydney. Give this about two months for him to move all his ASW forces here and then move them all onto another location.

China:
AdmSpruance has started attacking my stack near Pingsia. They will start thier move towards Pingsia next turn and when there bombers come calling they will find the air above them full of Oscars. I moved in 36 Oscars to the airfield at Nanchang, where they have been resting ever since. Tommorow they will start flying 100 cap over my troops this should give me about six days before FAT starts to hurt them. His undefended bomber attacks will be ripped apart.

Java:
Made a surface raid to Batavia, the raid went well taking out 3 AMc for no damage. Then as they pull out of port 2 mine hits, This was not too bad with only heavy damage and singapore a short run away. Then along comes a Albacore I and put a fish into my CL. Hope they make it to Singapore now down to 4 knots with about 60 float damage. With japanese damage control they will most likely sink next turn.

Malaya:
Finally got around to Attacking Temuloh. Taking my time was worth it in the final battles I lost about 500 men to put 11000 in the bag. I can now start prep for Java. At the moment I am thinking of landing at Tjilitjap and cutting the island in half. With an Air landing at Buitenz that marches back to Merak to open this port up for follow on forces. I think since the Singapore debarcal AdmSpruance has decided to give up the country and defend one or two cities with every thing. Just like Palembang.

Got cained on my small landings. I normally use 2 PB's for every xAK for these type of landings. This turn has proved to me I should only use 1 PB per group. You only need 1 PB in the group to defend against Subs. If you run into a Surface Group that he has sent to stop your landing. "You are going to loss the lot anyway" as they will send more guns than needed to get the job done.

I did not notice this until I had sent the turn and was uploading this here.

Hope this does not mean he has carriers in this area to. If he takes out my last two large carriers I'm stuffed.

Burma:
Still expanding! Problem I have is almost every base in burma needs a garrison of 5. Currently I am using my front line forces to do this, this is slowing my advance. To fix this I am flying transports from pegu and picking up troops from Toungoo. Once they have an AV above 5 at Pegu I turn off the transports until i can stick the unit fragment on Strat move and send it to a base. I then start the process over again. This is freeing up most of my front line troops to continue the chase.

Luganville:
Look like he is expanding this into a major base for his push into the canal in 42-43.I wonder what he is going to think when he gets there and nothing has been built there. I intend to defend Shortlands and nothing else, this was my original plan that has been reinforced since I lost the four carriers there. I may be able to keep shortland supplied but nothing further out.

What I want to do is send in some subs to mine the harbour just like AdmSprunce has been doing all over the place. Problem I seem to have is after the first turn mine laying (automatic) I have not been able to get a single sub to rearm with mines.

I am getting sick of of these "Previous report of sinking" every turn I seem to get at least 1. Anything bigger than a bath seems to be able to survive anything japan can throw.

China:
My OScar Ic have been coming up against Hurricane IIb Trop. I had been flying all my fighters at max alt. To get the drop on the enemy and hope to get 1 kill in the first pass. AdmSprunce has moved his escort fighter up to thier max to. Have looked at the Maneuver Bands Ki-43-Ic Oscar has (46) at 15000 while Hurricane IIb Trop <British> has (24). For the following turns of combat Oscars over Pingsiang are set at 14000.

The results where Hurricane IIb Trop: 7 destroyed vs Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 6 destroyed. Almost even! One thing I did notice is that even thought my fighters where at the same hight as his bombers, They did not attack a single one. Even with his escorting fighters at 33000. Will have to keep an eye on this next turn. The whole idea for being down this low is to get at his bombers.

Just checked out enemy over palembang I think 15000 here as well.

Aircraft Production

Due to getting my ass kicked at shortlands. All fighters built after 44 have been canceled. So far I have not done a lot with level bombers. Recon and Light level bombers have been set to just one or two plane types.

I will be removing all Float Planes other than Jake E13A1 upgrades to E13A1b
660 E13A1 Jake Float Plane 41/12 IJ Navy Has MAD
661 E13A1b Jake Float Plane 44/11 IJ Navy Has N-6 Radar

Engine Production

Decided I dont need the A5M4 Claude, Ki-27b Nate and E8N2 Dave will stop making the Nakajima kotobuki Engine.

I don't know if I want 125 a month of Aichi Ha-60 engines. I will most likely turn off the Matsuyama factory soon and change it to Nakajima Ha-35 for when the other Zero factories come online.

Allied Ship Losses
Allied ships lost after 1/30/42. Not too many have to try and expand this number. The two carriers showed up in this list in the last few days. But after all the sunk, not sunk, sunk messages I have no confidence that they have sunk.

Just realised that I had stripped all the resources from China and it was building very little supply. My bad! have cancelled all convoys to china to try and fix this. Should be ok again in a few months.

Japanese forces CAPTURE Yenan !!! Woohoo the deversion attack has had much more luck than the real attacks. The units here will be cut off this turn I will suck up the supply from the base and retreat back to where they started. Yenan has 40 resource points that are now 34 Damaged and 6 OK. This means Yenan is no longer a resource point of much value. It would cost 34000 supply point to fix it.

Junyo arrives this gives me 3 Slow CVs and 1 small carrier force. I am still stuffed!!!!

Luganville is still expanding fast must have all his seebee's there.

spotted CV Formidable near Buitenzorg at 45,99 looks like he is waiting for the attack on java to spring his next carrier supprise. I may send my light carriers around the sabang end of samatra and see if I can come in behind him.
