Following your instructions to soft enemy defensive facilities over eastern coast, our 23rd Air Flotilla assets directly assembled to this HQ have launched an unsuccesfull attack over Cairns air facilities.

Following SUPREME WAR COUNCIL SPECIAL WAR ORDEN NO.1 our air assets have launched heavily escorted air strikes over enemy population at Chungking. No enemy CAP met.

I must request more Ki-21-IIa/Ic level bombers to improve our task. It�s needed more Ki-27/Ki-43 Daitais/Chutais to air superiority task over Central China skies due enemy soviet-built bombers flying unescorted over our forces.

Hello Kaletsch2007, I am proud to heard your kind words!. Thank you very much for visits and posting.
Excuse me if the "comment from RADM Goto" disturb you. It�s not my will but only to remember I am playing with the bad guys. The ferocity and merciless of Japanese in my comments in this AAR is only to get into their close-minded thinking only in the Bushido Code like their Life(War) Code.

Thanks a lot for your post, believe me I am a peacefull pensionist with a loving family around.
best of wishes
Ram�n

P.S. It�s not my will to disturb anybody with merciless or cruel "comments" from my "commanders". This is only a game, and my will its only to be close of the II world war japanese military thinks. If any moderator considers that a fault, please tell me and I will erase all of these comments. (Many militar japanese liders were hanged at end by War Crimes in the R.L. and many other were judged and emprisioned for the same.). In previous post I have take reference of gas units at China for example and this is not to despise my opponent, for the other hand an excellent person, only to remember who were the japanese militarist leaders at war.
