You'll have to ask that over on the jrcar side of the AAR, we have FoW turned on - so we will not know for sure for 6 months (game time).

Kuriles
Nik sent 2 Cruisers and 2 Destroyers into the Kuriles and caught 3 USN Destroyer transports in a surface action and sank them.

Java
Soerabaja falls to Nik's airborne assault. I see 92 good refineries still there - we need to reinforce to try to save as many of those refiners as possible!

Elements of my 21 IMB and 21ID are advancing to the East - we do see a smaller Dutch Mountain redoubt on our end of the Island - only 7 units compared to the 23 at Nik's end.

We flew some Oscars in to Batavia, our first LBA on Java.

It means the entry for a given ship will be corrected within six months.

Kuriles
Nik's first counter landing goes in against the Marine Raiders in the Kuriles.

Java
On my end, two RCTs of the 21ID reach Bandoeng, which is a second smaller mountain recdoubt to which the allies have retreated. Also the IJA flew in elements of the 124 RGT to Soerabaja to join up with the Navy Paras, this brings the "garrison" of the city up to the minimum and stops the destruction of the resources and refineries.

Solomons
Another Nik counterlanding going in at Tulagi.

Solomons
Nik re-takes Tulagi

Burma
We continue to advance against no opposition, though we see large numbers of troops over at Akyab.

China
We concentrate in the South against Wenchow and reorganize in the Center around Nanyang. The Chinese seem to be withdrawing around Nanyang but still have us cut off around the tri-city area.

Luzon
Allies are withdrawing back toward Clark and Manilla, we continuing our build up.

Java
We continue to unload at Batavia and continue to fly in reinforcements to Soerabaja.

Fiji
Nik launches a series of carrier raids against the shipping around Fiji (eerily similar in timming to CF's activities!) but I think we were a bit disappointed with the haul. Only one big AP, but several AK and quite a few APD.

Burma
We slowly starting to build up an infrastructure in Central Burma to support some air power. This will be needed both in the short run to support an attack on Akyab as well as in the long run to sustain Burma as a buffer against Allied attacks against the SRA.

Java
My IGID has completed unloading and is heading to the front. At Singapore the 5ID is loading. We have four Mortar units, the 21ID, the 21 IMB and 25 Army HQ at the front in Java already. We flew an engineer to Soerabaja to help Nik repair the facilities.

China
We continue our pursuit of Chinese forces in the Nanyang area and our seige at Wenchow in the South. We out guessed the AVG for once and plotted a fighter sweep against the empty airbase at Wenchow. The AVG duly showed up to receive us and if I was reading the combat report correctly, we might have shot down Pappy !!!

Luzon
Our build up continues. Clark field was showing 75 damage on the airfield at the end of last turn, so we're keeping the AF there suppressed. We have moved in 4 more Sally Sentai, up from Malaya to help out. They will go into action in a few days.

Strategic
HA-35 production is at 292 and it is still not enough. We have 245 A6M in the pool so we are shutting down Zero production briefly. We have Helens and Rufe's starting production now and should be able to deploy our first Helen unit in about a month.

Pulling in of resources from Hokkaido and Sakhalin is a big business and we are ramping up farther and faster. Moving in more engineers and port troops to improve the ports. We have 2-3 large convoys departing the NRA each day. We (IJA) are also supporting Nik's activities in the Kuriles by moving in supplies and engineers.

We will convert some AKL to PB and some to ACM. We will restrict minelaying to the NRA for a while but need ACM up there to preserve the minefields. We have temporarily reployed a few unneeded ACM from Home Island ports to the NRA.

Luzon
We sank one and at least heavily damaged another supply ship headed to Luzon. Nell's got one out to the East and Oscar's in fighter-bomber mode heavily damaged another in Manilla. Our major airstrikes this turn, went in against Manilla. We still have not thrown in our 4 reinforcing Sentai from Malaya but they are in the area preparing.

Burma
Oscar sweeps went in against Akyab, but no enemy planes came up. We see fighters on the ground but no one came up to greet us.

Summatra
We took out one unit and capture another town in Southern Summatra. We now own all of Southern Summatra and some units will start to head North into Centra Summtra. It will take some time to control the whole Island but we're making progress.

Java
No real change here. Our troops continue to unload and head towards the front.

Burma
We have four divisions in Burma now, though two of them are tied down being "garrisons".

Akyab, on the other side of a river, with no LOC to our rear, looks a long way off! And it seems to be piled high with Allied troops.

Wenchow
In Southern China, we are beseiging Wenchow - a tough city to take, since it generates lots of supply. We fought a fighter battle with the AVG last turn, so this turn we are sending in the Lily's to attack the airfield. The AVG does not come up today.

Java
Nik is not a big fan of Allied "uber PTs" - so thinking he sees some, he sends in his Zero PT boat killers (or "wavers at") but merely bags a small AMc.

China
Heavy combat at Wenchow (Southern China) - both sides took about 200 casualties. We knocked the forts down to level-1. Surprised he hadn't built the forts up higher. In a test game against Nik, I don't think I ever took this place by September 1942, but I think I have a chance in this game.

Java
5ID will complete unloading this turn and second half of 25 Army artillery will start unloading. IGID is on the way to the front to join 21ID, 25 Army HQ and other half of 25 Army artillery.

Luzon
48ID and 16ID advanced to Lingayen which will fall. Americans have pulled out. We bombed Manilla again this turn.

Burma
Allied bombers showed up over Central Burma - it will be a long time before we have enough infrastructure to support enough bases to hurt massed Allied bombing raids.

Kuriles
One of our PB "picket boats" performed its mission this turn and discovered a USN Battle force including 3BB as well as cruisers and destroyers heading in towards Paramushiro. This gives us warning to pull back the supply convoy unloading there. The crew's ancestors will welcome them - Banzai!

Redeployment
The lack of Allied Naval opposition around Java is giving Nik and I a chance to reorganize or fleet. I am sending him Kongo and Haruna, which I have had in the South China Sea since the start of the game. The fast BBs will work better with the carriers. In return I am getting Ise and Hyuga, which will work for me in the Gulf of Martaban.

Haiphong
Our experimental Tojo chutai shot down 6 Chinese bombers over the two day turn. The Chinese bombers got no hits on our shipping which is busy loading resources. Not sure why the Chinese came in with unescorted bombers again.

Wenchow
We sent in some heavy bomber support for our ground attack at Wenchow. On the 5th our planes flew and the ground troops did well. On the 6th our planes did not fly and our ground troops stalled out.

Nanyang
We beat up a big Chinese stack at Nanyang (again). Since this stack re-entered the hex and even attacked us again - they can't blame this one solely on the artillery - they came asking for it!


Luzon
5 Sally Sentai, including 4 reinforcing from Malaya will enter the fray this turn.

Java
The 5ID and 2 of 4 reinforcing artillery units have unloaded at Batavia this turn. All attacking elements of the 25 Army (3 Divisions, 8 Artillery unts and the HQ) should be in the line at Bandoeng by the end of the third turn from now.

Burma
Hum, Forest had been telling me stories of "Hurricane Buzzsaws" - but in Burma this turn - our Oscars seem to have shot down 19 Hurricanes for the loss of one Oscar!

Here is a pic of one of our raids on Clark Field this turn - the defending fighters put in a rare appearance.

Dot Island North of Darwin
The Allies seem to have placed about 6 units (small I assume) on a small dot Island North of Darwin. For some reason, Nik decided to send a Marine Battalion to this dot Island place - and Wow! - what a hornet's nest. Nik bombarded with his 8 DDs and bombed with Baby KB, but the Allies rolled in with their B-17s and B-26s and the ground combat was indecisive, though we are heavily outnumbered. I'm advised pulling out, setting up and comming back in, but Nik is in charge in this sector, and I think he is going for "blood"!

Java
5ID and artillery moving towards Bandoeng from Batavia. IG looping around from the SW. 21 IMB at Tjitlap. 21 ID, 4 Mortar Bns and 25 Army HQ at Bandoeng. IJA has 4 Sally Sentai, 3 Oscar Chutai and 1 Babs Chutai at Batavia. 25 Army should be assembled and ready to attack within 2 turns.

Burma
No air action this turn

China
We attack again at Wenchow - stalemate still - both sides take heavy losses - though Chinese take more in terms of devices destroyed. Our fatigue and disruption are not too bad, so we will continue the battle. We have 1 Lily, 1 Ann Sentai supporting the ground troops, with 1 Nate and 1 Oscar Chutai providing fighter support. Two Babs units provide recon support.

Luzon
Our reinforced 14 Army has taken Iba and will now approach Clark from the West. In the mean time the 65th Brigade approaches from the Aparri side. Our aircraft bombed cabanatuan (East of Clark, NE of Manilla).

Because at that time that is where I was flying them...I moved them lower and the results approached 50-50...if I was sweeping. Problem was his Sweeps still came in high and would catch any CAP I had low...IMO the hurricane performance is tied directly to the twelve guns it carries...

Because at that time that is where I was flying them...I moved them lower and the results approached 50-50...if I was sweeping. Problem was his Sweeps still came in high and would catch any CAP I had low...IMO the hurricane performance is tied directly to the twelve guns it carries...

There never seems to be a perfect altitude. Except I try to have my escorts fly just above the bombers. Now if I could only get them to coordinate their strikes. I have been pleased with the performance of the Hurricanes in Burma. They more than hold their own with Oscars and have been ok with Zeros except when vastly outnumbered. In one of my PBEM's, we are in August 42 and all but one of my Hurricane squadrons have shot down more planes than I have been lost. Of course, some of those victories have come against bombers. Treespider, this is slightly off topic, heck it is way off topic, but is Calhoun's still serving up great ribs? They used to have an all you can eat night on Thursday nights. I always timed my trips to Oak Ridge to be there on Thursdays.

Selaroe
A little dot island North of Darwin has become the scene of a minor attrition battle. There are no facilities at the dot island so most of the "firing" is being done by ships and planes. The unfortunate land troops, from both sides take the poundings.
