How are the landings coming along?


The updates are actually in real time.

It seems the Pony Express rider, an arrow in his leg, had to lay low in a box canyon near Flagstaff while the Comanches were on the war path. Mercifully, he was nursed back to health by some Mormon pioneers, though they did make him strap his horse to the top of the wagon. The turn arrived last night.

--Even after the heavy losses of IJN aircraft over San Jose, the IJN carrier force, now west of Manila, has 50 fighters and 140 bombers. That is serious threat even if they are light on Zeroes. Oddly, there were NO Vals in yesterday's strike packages.

--It turns out Juneau WAS at San Jose the whole time (at least after Haruna left) but the IJN bombers did failed to sport her and instead went after the PT boats.

--Runway at San Jose pretty well banged up. The bullodozers of 36th Sea Bees got ashore. Time to pick up all the smushed mangos from the Haruna bombardment and start over.

--Baybay, on Leyte, is only 15% damaged even the we can see the place burning from Cagayan

--187th IR mostly embarked at Saumlaki

--A couple of Bn or armor and a Marine Regt on their way from Darwin.

--Other forces embarking at Merauke and Derby and Ternate and Butuan and Cagayan. Everything wont be ready at the same time but the armor coming from Darwin will be the core of the landing force. They could perahps reach Lucena in about 5-6 days (game days not Earth days).

--Wasp and 5 CVE's halway between Darwin and Sorong. I think we should have them cover the movement of the amphibous groups from Saumalaki and Darwin so we don't get pesky Bettys in among the sheep.

--Cagayan is one or two days away from level 5 and another Air HQ is landing there today.

This is an intensely confusing time for me. I nearly forgot my son's birthday. I paid my property taxes early.

I might have forgotten SG's birthday but the preparations were more elaborate than the Queen's Jubilee.

We try for another night bombardment of Baybay.

BB's move over to Cagayan to protect the assembling amphibious convoys.

Juneau will spend another perilous day at San Jose to weaken the IJN carrier air groups. Crappy work.

We lost 8 airframes on the ground at San Jose

They lost more than that at Baybay and Altimonan. One of those bases also had some transports.

Just looking in detail at the readiness of ground units for Operation Premature Incarceration.

168th RCT and two tank Bn just left Darwin. 182nd RCT(-) leaving Saumlaki in 1 d minus most of their trucks and a Bn of infantry which is still on Tanna.

These boys can reach Luzon in about 8-9 d, perhaps a bit faster if we turn on the jets.

Cebu USN Bn (with 95 Naval Support pts.) is about 3 d out from Cagayan (driving from Cotabato) but they will need a day or 2 to rest and another day or 2 to embark at Cagayan's rousy port. They are important to hasten unloading at Lucena and there is the poetic part of bringing Phillipine Army squads along for the ride.

21st Marine (60% strength) and 8th Marine (80%) as well as a Marine tank Bn should be emarked for the first day landing though they will have to loiter aboard ship for a while.


That makes 3 Bn of armor and elements of 2 Army regiments and 2 Marine regiments plus aviation support and naval support and SeaBees on D-Day+1. 503rd PIR will be ashore by airdrop the day before. That is not a very big force but JJ appears unready. That is the point.


Tentaive date for the drop of 503rd is March 29.

I guess the answer is this is one way get to Luzon in March '43. To borrow a phrase from Forrest..."get there firstest with the mostest"

All manner of annoying logistical problems are turning up.

--The last attack at Manado drained supply from Sangi so the B-24's there are not going to be very useful.

--Jap bombardments of San Jose have sent the supply there into the orange.

--I can't rearm the BB's anywhere North of Darwin

--Severe shortages of aviation support in the squid tentacles.


Oh well, **** happens.
