after 3 days of horrible aircraft losses, he stopped "port strike" bombing it. Assuming bombing does not resume:
Lightly damaged CL Enterprise will be fully repaired in few days
Seriously damaged CL Caledon and CL Ceres will need to go to Colombo as soon as he starts assaulting Singapore; they might sink as damage is severe.


KB-1 is near Darwin.. as he was expecting my damaged cruisers to run away here.
He found and sunk (only) small fish:

Jan 8th: raid at the Gilberts (Nonouti) - 10/20/2014 2:09:28 AM

Status: offline 		Jan 7th and 8th had been very quiet turns;

- PresterJohn has not yet assaulted Singapore or Clark, he is only ART bombing them. Fort level keep growing, slowly
- He has been focused on small invasions, painting the map "red" with uncontested assaults on dot or empty bases
- One of this small invasion fleets got destroyed on Nonouti (Gilbert's island)

I sent CL Detroit, CL Concord + 13 destroyers to investigate the Gilbert's invasions. It might had been overkill; but I didn't know (and still don't know) what kind of opposition to expect there:
I bet KB-2 is rushing there... I give it at least two turns to arrive,




Day Time Surface Combat, near Nonouti at 136,133, Range 19,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
PB Nagata Maru, Shell hits 34, and is sunk
xAK Tenyo Maru, Shell hits 40, and is sunk

CL Detroit
DD Dunlap
DD Smith
DD Preston
DD Drayton
DD Conyngham
DD Shaw
DD Cushing
DD Perkins
DD Flusser
DD Downes
DD Cassin
DD Reid

For next turn, I have divided it into 2 TFs: one will inspect Tarawa, the other Ocean island

Status: offline 		I had been very busy at work, so although I had kept a daily turn rate with Steve, I did not have the time to update this AAR

Besides, not a lot had happened, I will do a full update this weekend.

Highlights:
- Singapore, Ambon, Clark still hold but we are getting close to the end
- He just landed in Tarakan, Buna and Kendari... so they too are going to fall soon
- Quiet at sea, most of my raiders are getting repaired
- Subwar: minimal on both sides, from time to time we have the ocassional torpedo attack, but nothing interesting to report

- Repulse: As you might remember, it got torpedoed on Dec 21st. For the last twenty-something turns, I had tried to salvage it. I sent it to Cocos with an AR, then get fuel, escorts etc.
Everything was kind of OK, until it got off map (to CapeTown):
In turn 31 I got a flooding message, but it kept repairing it. Moreover it was already close (7 days) to CT.
Then....
last turn, I got "engine room open to sea"... As you can see on the picture.. results are horrendous I HATE THIS RIDICULOUS TIME VAMPIRE OF A GAME!!!
where did I hear that before?



Well, Repulse is finished. the 7 days to reach CT became 27 days at 3kts... I am sure it will sink on day 26!

The second surprise of the day: A para invasion on Java !


Your opponent isn't wasting any time is he? Paras into Java....I'll have to remember that!

Is there really any way to defend Java without massive Allied reinforcement?

- 6 inf divisions + TKs + ART in Singapore
- 3.5 inf divisions + TKs + ART at Clark
- 1 division assaulting Java this turn

Java starts with few, poor quality troops and almost no engineers (DBB-C), there are multiple potential beaches good for invasions, he has significant air superiority. There are few, if any, good reinforcements received so far (mid January). Moreover, Java is an island; thus as soon as he controls the sea and air around it, nothing gets in or out. Any reinforcement sent will weaken somewhere else

Amchitka Island: Airfield expanded Now level 1
He took Armchitka island in early December; afterwards I sent around 4 SS to patrol it. They haven't seen any reinforcement, so it might be that he unloaded engineers and lots of supplies on that assault. What is clear is that he is interested in the theater, thus I need to speed up my own constructions and fortifications. The Aleutians are secondary, but still, I don't want to give them for free.


DD Hatsuyuki Enemy ship sunk by 6in/50 BL Mk XXIII at 51,82 near Mersing
What is interesting here is that I don't have this on the game's sunk ship list. Moreover, there has been no battles near Mersing in a long time. Is this FOW? maybe a damaged ship from one of the earlier battles got sunk?
EDIT: In post #27 (1st page). Hatsuyuki was hit 10 times on my 1st Mersing battle (Dec 9th).. so maybe it did sink afterwards?

It is more likely that the Intel boys saw her call sign in an intercept and made up a story to go with it. This is called Smog of War, when the Intel boys blow smoke. I suppose you could even call it Smaug of War.

AGPs, AS and AD aren't insignificant for the Allies in '42. Be careful - You just don't have that many. Especially AGPs if you want to use PTs effectively.

I believe you are incorrect.

I have played many games as Allies and have never found AKs or xAKs that can convert to AGPs.

There are a plethora of xAKs that can convert to AGs.

The AGPs are a rare commodity early and as such should be conserved.

The Americans get more later as reinforcements, but I can not recall ever finding any, or at least many, that can be had through conversion.

Not positive about it, but I think AGs and ADs are also capable of re-arming PTs with torpedoes, which makes preservation of the AGPs less critical.
Anybody know differently?

With 2 escorts to help pump, she may surprise you. I would not consider her doomed yet. You do need good die rolls to reduce the flooding a bit during the Ship Repair steps in each turn, but with a good captain and crew they can get them.
