No carrier battle today. This is good. None was intended but the Jap carriers disappeared for a day. They showed up near New Scotland so they could bomb the Heck out of New Perth.

New Perth was hit first by a cruiser night bombardment (not very effective) then an unescorted Betty and Nell raid which was met with 15 Allied fighters. 2 bombers were shot down and many damaged by others got through and hit the ground troops. A second raid of Nells came in with 9 Zeroes. One of each was claimed with one P-40 lost.

Next the Jap carriers attacked with a 160 plane raid, losing 4 and many Vals reported damaged.

Finally the Sallys and Lillys came in. By now all the Allied fighters were refueling so the raid seemed to do some damage. Final plane losses 10 J/2 Allied (not bad). You can see where this was going....


A LYB particularly chosen for his slavish fealty to the Emperor, stood up on top of the trench, waved a white glove and blew a whistle and 55,000 LYB's came charging out of the trenches toward Gryme's New Dyke Line.

This attack did take out one level of fortifications (now reduced to 1) but only achieved 1:2 and was repulsed with 4:1 casualties in favor of I Amphibious Corps.

Ground combat at La Foa (New Perth)

Japanese Deliberate attack

Jap strength has grown significantly but still is not quite where it needs to be to succeed. They can't know this but supply on New Scotland is getting pretty dicey. I barely missed having the attck go in with the troops at New Perth undersupplied. Another item of note is the nearly 50 Bettys and 25 Nells who came out of their rat hole at New Ullapool.

That is an awesome ship-killing force.

Status: offline 		The Jap carriers have retreated to the NW of New Uallpool. Either they are headed back for reffitting or are lotiering in a safer location waiting for the fishies to come to them. New Edinburgh airfield runway is at 75% damage. Flight operations can resume at 70%. I am going to push the AK's forward. If the KB is going to come out and play it will be beyond Kate range from New Perth. It would be crazy to send the carriers into the Jap buzzsaw. The Bettys will be bad enough. The BB's will be forward with carriers when the time comes to eat some torps if need be and respond to a Jap surface sortie toward New Edinburgh.

The loss of Norfolk Is. is supremely annoying.

Your carriers can remain on station longer than his so, paradoxically, oriental patience is your strength!

Re: Tanna - can your bombers at Suva reach his AKs or small surface force there or is it too late to catch them? Love to see LYBs landed without secure supply ...

The problem is the JAPS have air superiority over New Scotland and a place to rearm and replenish whereas I have to go back to Suva or Auckland. Quite possibly, their carrier force is superior too. I desperately need to get some supply in to Noumea in the next week or two or the next Jap attack will crack the line.

LB-30's can reach Tanna from Suva but are never going to hit ships without some training.

Col. Cathcart:...next week, the squadron is scheduled to have a demonstration attack on stationary derelict ships. We will come in at 15,000 ft. I want the formations tight. General Dreedle will be observing...

Hirsute USAAF Officer: <stands up> Oh, OH, OH, Sir?

Col. Cathcart: That's doctrine, son.

Hirsute USAAF Officer: Yes, I know Col., but the doctrine is full of crap. The Japs aren't going to sit still. It takes forever for a bomb to fall from 15,000 feet.

Col. Cathcart: Captain, are you telling me USAAF Bombing Command doesn't know what they are doing?

Hirsute USAAF Officer: Well, yes, yes I am. You see nobody has attacked an enemy ship from a B-25 yet..this time around I mean. I predict they will change the doctrine, sir.

Col. Cathcart: Oh, you do, do you?

Hirsute USAAF Officer: Yes sir. In fact, prediction isn't really the right word. I KNOW they will change the doctrine. Let us go in at 1,000. Then maybe some of these knuckleheads might actually hit something. <motions toward the other pilots in the room, most of whom now have mouths agape>

I can see it now - The good general Dreedle gets air sickness so he decides to observe from a specially constructed set of bleachers [complete with canopy and wet bar] from one mile away. All his staff are with him. I predict a change of command ...

That is a really funny idea.....

The chatter slows as a flight of 3 B-25's, with brilliant sunshine reflecting off their aluminum skins, appear over the target area.

Operation Buggritt:

There seems to be some dispute about the spelling. Apparently all the Norse god names and fancy latin-based, four syllable noun and adjective operation names were already taken.

I had my suspcions. So I checked Urban Dictionary


Contraction of 'Bugger It'. A phrase often used by Foul Ole Ron, a character from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. He is an extremely repulsive entity who lacks the ability to speak coherently. Other phrases used by Foul Ole Ron include 'Buggrem' and 'Millenium hand and shrimp', bizarrely.

It is believed he was killed by Japanese sentries but he may have also fallen into the hands of indiginous cannibals. There are even those who say they have heard him up on the mountain, running wild and making pig noises.

The Jap carriers are still about. There are about 7000 tons of supply on New Scotland. Cant wait much longer. 80,000+ Jap troops now at New Perth. The Japs will likely refuse to fight under the threat of Allied land-based aircraft and will rightly want to fight near New Ullapool. New Edinburgh is operational again...barely. A few A-24's and TBD move in to dissuade Jap surface forces.

There could be a carrier fight on the 14th but the Allied carriers have apparently not been spotted so it is unlikely. I expect some unescorted Betty/Nell raids.

Status: offline 		Wow...that is a goodly number of pongoes. Op. Buggritt is multi-divisional. That should get their attention. I have these questions.

1) Do we have some chaps at Akyab to keep the ALB's from landing behind us?

2) Are the pongoes going across country to the Irrawaddy valley or down the coastal road?

3) They are attacking our logistical base at Akyab by air. Do we have some Wapiti armed with Lee-Enfield's or something that could keep them honest?*



Nice show at Kunming. They would have been well served by some time to think about taking on a herd of Asiatics led by a white guy.

There was; however, no Jap attack on the carriers or transports by Bettys and Nells...which instead attacked New Perth airfield to little effect. This is good as a few were shot down, some damaged and the crews will be fatigued.

The Jap carriers are gone again, or at least unspotted. I should have had a good search effort from New Scotland, Fiji, the carriers and North Island. The carriers will move NW, about 40 miles behind the AK's. I hope to bait an attack toward the AK's which will have some indirect protection from CAP bleed over from the carriers. If the Jap carriers are about they may try to close and engage or they may let the land based air go in first.

Of that will not tell you if he deduces carriers because his search planes are reported shot down by CAP and so on. Unless he believes in the Bermuda Triangle.

This OOB question:

Were not 14, 16 and 23 Inf Brigades part of 70th Inf Div in 1942?


Yes. Not sure why they're broken up like this but I'm sure Andy has a cogent answer.
