09 Dec 1941 Subs Several unsuccesful attacks, including on the Manoora :( In general the Allies get the better of us this turn!

It looks like they are pulling everything out of the north by rail/road and sea. We are intercepting the road/rail movements by air, and hitting the sea movements off Georgetown. A DaiTai of Nells are now operating out of Kota Bahru and the air HQ should be fuly unloaded there over the next turn. We continue to sweep Singapore, losses are well in our favour, and another unit of Oscar have just arrived to help out. We get 23 Buffalo for the loss of 2 Oscar and 4 Zero. Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Georgetown at 49,74 Weather in hex: Light rain Raid spotted at 13 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.

Estimated time to target is 16 minutes Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ia Oscar x 18 Allied aircraft Buffalo I x 13 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-43-Ia Oscar: 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses Buffalo I: 1 destroyed DEI A series of naval engagements sees only light damage but a claimed sinking. The Rhuyo sorties its aircraft against a DD for no Damage. The invasion force for Miri should land next turn. Ternate and Manado landings should also happen. Day Time Surface Combat, near Miri at 64,81, Range 15,000 Yards Japanese Ships CL Kashii CL Isuzu E Shimushu E Saga TB Kari Allied Ships DD Thanet, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk Philipines A CA TF sweeps through the southern Phillipines: Night Time Surface Combat, near Roxas at 79,82, Range 10,000 Yards Japanese Ships CA Maya CA Ashigara CL Kuma DD Yamagumo DD Asakaze DD Matsukaze DD Tachikaze Allied Ships PG Asheville, Shell hits 7, heavy fires, heavy damage xAK Yu Sang Day Time Surface Combat, near Roxas at 79,83, Range 18,000 Yards Japanese Ships CA Maya CA Ashigara CL Kuma DD Yamagumo DD Asakaze DD Matsukaze DD Tachikaze Allied Ships xAK Yu Sang, Shell hits 17, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk Allied ground losses: 369 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 30 destroyed, 38 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 39 (30 destroyed, 9 disabled) Day Time Surface Combat, near Roxas at 79,83, Range 20,000 Yards Japanese Ships CA Maya CA Ashigara CL Kuma DD Yamagumo DD Asakaze DD Matsukaze DD Tachikaze Allied Ships xAK Capillo, Shell hits 17, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk xAK Ethel Edwards, Shell hits 10, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk xAK Tantalus, Shell hits 18, and is sunk Allied ground losses: 28 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 8 destroyed, 8 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 16 (12 destroyed, 4 disabled) PACIFIC KB strikes for a third day, and wards off some counter attacks. Our aircraft losses are high, but pilot losses are low (due to subs and DD's in the area?). KB is at about 50% aircraft wise, but 90% pilot wise. The aim of killing more US aircarft is not effective through bombing, but having them attack is effective :) Afternoon Air attack on Pearl Harbor , at 180,107 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid detected at 164 NM, estimated altitude 17,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 61 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 46 B5N2 Kate x 91 D3A1 Val x 129 Allied aircraft P-26A x 1 P-36A Mohawk x 16 P-40B Warhawk x 30 F4F-3 Wildcat x 1 SNJ-3 Texan x 1 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 1 destroyed B5N2 Kate: 2 destroyed, 11 damaged B5N2 Kate: 5 destroyed by flak D3A1 Val: 5 destroyed, 46 damaged D3A1 Val: 24 destroyed by flak Allied aircraft losses P-36A Mohawk: 3 destroyed P-40B Warhawk: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged P-40B Warhawk: 1 destroyed on ground Allied Ships CA San Francisco PT-20 PT-27 PT-42 BB Maryland, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage PT-29 DD Selfridge PT-25 BB Tennessee, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage BB Oklahoma, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage PT-26 BB Pennsylvania, Torpedo hits 1 Airbase hits 2 Runway hits 15 Port hits 3 Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Lihue at 178,102 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 158 NM, estimated altitude 16,000 feet.

I was expecting more damage from KB on the airfields, flak looks to have been murderous. Cheers Rob
