Feb. 6/42 Update: Sub Ops: I was lucky in the Celebes and around Saishu with Allied subs hitting with duds, so no losses. I'm concerned that attacks are happening again so I'll reroute again. So far my rerouting has worked very well, limiting opportunities for Allied submarines. I'm still completely disappointed in my ASW not responding or when they do, losing contact resulting in no DC attack. The Philippines: I'm 2 days away from launching the final ground assault on Bataan. Today was another bombing raid followed by an artillery barrage. No idea on casualties from the air attack, but the ground bombardment netted 224 Allied casualties to my 11. AV comparison on Bataan right now is Japanese 1768 to Allied 1448. Borneo: A Shock attack by my units chasing the Tarakan force in the jungle northeast of Balikpapan was a stalemate, with 66 casualties to 61 in favour of the Allies. The Celebes: Tawi Tawi is captured. Sumatra: Another sweep over Palembang showed no allied fighters, and another bombing raid on the airfield yielded little damage. More importantly recon showed that Smeulders has withdrawn his air units. China: The 110 Div. launches it's own attack at 89,38 driving back the Chinese causing 644 casualties. Japanese losses were 13. At Changsha I'd decided to maneuver south of the city, crossing the river and hitting the bases to the west to envelop Changsha. As soon as Smeulders saw I was trying to flank him, it looks like he plans to withdraw from the city. It could be a ruse, or maybe not his entire force moving (last report was 36 enemy units), but I don't care, I'm crossing the river and beating up whatever stands in my way. My units to the east of Changsha will motion towards the city in case he does retreat. I have almost 5000AV here and if he leaves the city I will pursue. I'm looking forward to not having to crack that nut. A-29A Hudson's made an appearance over my units south of Changsha and bombed them, causing 52 casualties. Smeulders is trying to slow down my flanking maneuver. I'll try and get some CAP in the area, but getting quality fighters in the area is tough. With PDU off, this is much more difficult, I'm not able to upgrade many of my Nate units right now, until new fighters come on line. Both Mike Solli and I are playing with PDU off, which in hindsight will really suck for us. I'll post some new screenshots to update the major theatres soon. Thanks for following along.
