Some bastard glued the P-38s to the ground.

I toke a peek at the autoexe.bat that is used in the secret WWII Dos flight computers in ur P-38.

Clearly they forgot u can steer a P-38 with a yet to be invented mouse. Alarmingly they havent set the sound card line, that the joystick is attached to so its all FUBAR.
For ur pleasure the missing line.

Sunday morning and no turn.

ALSP...that taffy with 9 RAAF base force following the Port Blair folks is transport loaded.

Also this. Seems like any follow-on forces that don't need to be prepped for Ramree can switch planning to secondary objectives...like the Tit Pagoda

The other day I heard Ban Ki Moon (UN Sec Gen) making a statement in Engrish over the death of Hugo

"United Nations wish to express sincere condorances to famiries and people of Venezuera"

I nearly ran off the road. It is just endless, cheap entertainment for me.

I realize he is Korean but he would make a good Ito-san if it weren't for the pencil neck.

*******************Pranning*****************

If Kaga is forced to withdraw, which seems likley, the threat from IJN carrier air will be markedly diminished. I am wondering if we can do a landing even before Wasp arrives. Perhaps Legaspi or Naga in SE Luzon which are out of range of the IJN carriers given their recent station 200-240 miles NW of Manila. This might move more air units to the PI, taking the heat off the Burma landings.

Also the damage to Haruna makes these bases easier to protect from surface bombardment.

PI still looks light, just a matter of bringing up loads of infantry! Under proper air cover of course...:)

Air rosses from 22nd. The poor, suffering Kates. And the Zeroes. The Wellies suffered a bit too. Can you say that, "Wellies"?

Does your opponent have an AAR running by any chance?

Very early on..long since abandoned, I believe.

Self explanatory.

The Bay of Bengal was abandoned? I suspect it's the building codes.

Hmmm ... those xAP's are going to unload quite slowly .. I think it will take no less than 3 full turns to unload? I guess eventually some Naval support will arrive? Once those ships announce themselves -- JJ is going to be quite perturbed . something akin to knocking over a hornets nest ..

I assume Prome is fully supressed?

Even though there is no road .. I have found that Ramree island does propagate supply forward once built up ...

Prome is empty. The plan is to drop 50th Para Brigade on it.

I didn't show the build-up forces which do include lots of naval support squads.

I think there is a small tank unit at Prome but that is not enough to displace a Commonwealth brigade.

The greater risk is LYB LBA. I also think it will take about 3 d to unload those AP's at Ramree over a level zero port with no naval support although it is certainly possible to use whatever gets ashore on day 1 and then bug out until an airbase is built. It seems however that we wont have construction engineers right off the bat unless a Commonwealth corps HQ has them intrinsically.

There are some small surface combatants at Rangoon.

When I said follow on forces I meant 3 divisions, 3 or 4 brigades plus a metric shedload of support troops. Just so everyone knows.

Yes, the "follow-on" force is really an Army-sized force.

As a further distraction, the first landing on Luzon will go in tomorrow (para drop) on Legaspi in SE Luzon. 8th Marine Regt, a Marine tank Bn and engineers and aviation support will start landing tomorrow night after the base changes hands.

Wasp, the CVE's and several infantry regiments and a "metric shed load"

of armor will arrive vicinity of Ternate tomorrow, about 3-4 d out from a Luzon landing, probably at Lucena.

This may dissuade JJ from sending aircraft from the Phirripines to help in Burma.

This was my intial concern that JJ would empty PI in a very frantic attempt to interdict the landings and they would have one day to change bases, a day to repair ops damage / hit with some sweeps .. and then the next day have a blood fest .. at least with Cap's move in PI JJ will have to decide .. and PI is far more an immediate threat ......
