Allies sweep Manus with P-38H and the N1k1-J on duty do well: 6 downed for 1 loss.

RO-66 takes a shot at SS Sargo on the surface but misses despite the target already showing heavy damage.

A Nell is shot down by an Allied sub.

Some Nells from Koepang suddenly commit suicide against forces in Java, not sure what I did to trigger that.

The Allies manage to cut off the move from Madoien to Soerabaja when I had two miles to go, how come they are so much faster! (I know, the Allies always seem to move first).

Hyuga arrives at the yards at Yokohama, best part of 5 months to repair. I'll see if it can be a bit quicker using critical pier side first and then switching to yard.

Total Allied 4E losses to date: 172 B-24D, 171 B-24D1, 106 B-17E, 99 B-17F, 28 Liberator II, 14 PB4Y-1, 4 LB-30, 2 B-17D = 596 out of 5776 losses. Just noticed that the B-24D is actually better than the B-24D1: 1 more hex normal and extended ranges, faster max speed, but 1 gun less.

Status: offline 		According to tracker, I have shot down 100+ B-17F. Firing up a new game as the Allies I see that the B-17F is available from 8/42 to 9/42 and has a replacement rate of 24. Shouldn't that be a total production of 48?

There are no reinforcements that come equipped with the B-17F, there are no at start groups with it, so how come I have shot so many down?

I did notice that I got "10cm/40 T14 AA gun" replacements even though they have an end date of 1/42. Are end dates for devices/air-frames ineffective?

Not that I have seen/heard of. However, once the aircraft availability advances the unrepaired factories get a benefit because the chance to repair is based on time left.

Allied CA force sweeps through the PB making pick ups near Rabaul and sink 3 PB including 1 carrying an AT unit.

Night-bombing of Balikpapan by B-17F does no damage (severe storms) and trades 7 B-17F for 7 N1K1-J (mostly lost to write offs).

Nasty sweep of Billiton by Thunderbolts downs 21 Ki-43-IV for the loss of a single Thunderbolt.

Allied strike at a YO trying to pull fuel from Kalidjati suffer heavy losses from the escorts but protect the bombers through to sink the YO.

Afternoon, unescorted B-25G strike at a fast transport task force. Heavy CAP is unable to arrive in time and the CL Kashima and a PB carrying part of the 1st Tank are lost; two more PB are doomed but may be able to offload some of their load at Billiton.

TK Chiyoda Maru is lost for no apparent reason. Last turn it was fine and the only reference in combat and ops reports is that fires are out of control and she can't be saved. No indication of why fires started. Lost with 8150 units of fuel

SS RO-38 arrives

Possibly, however I think Tracker reaches passed the Fog of War and gives accurate reports. It certainly seems to match numbers lost against the VP gain, unlike the in game report.

It could make sense, as the number of B-17E lost is way down on how many I think he has. Overall, I don't think it really matters - the Allies get as many planes as they get...

Liberators bomb Palembang at night. A lone night fighter joins the Tojos on CAP. On its first pass it scores critical damage on a Liberator, then it is out of ammo and that is the last seen of it. I noticed before that the Irvings run out of ammo quickly. Overall 11 B-24D1 lost on the day for 17 Ki-44-IIc.

More tankers pull fuel from Java and fast transports have picked up the last of the 1st Tank. I think I will pull most fighters from Java now, the sweeps by Thunderbolts are too damaging.

Status: offline 		Pilot training and aircraft pools etc.

The IJN replacement pool has been empty for a while and I have exhausted months 10-12 from the training schools. Pilots are being pulled early from training with experience in the low 10's so needing an extra month or so of training. I have about 440 slots for pilots training escort (fighters or float planes). I have 450 slots being used to push pilots up to 70+ defense.

There are 1000 pilot slots in active groups, including those on the carriers.

I'm not keeping up with demand for pilots nor am I getting enough N1K1-J produced. I need to make sure more losses are taken from the Army pilots and aircraft pools and fewer from the Navy.

So:
1. Navy pilots in combat should only be in the best models, A6M5c on carriers, N1K1-J or J1N1-S on land.
2. J1N1-S and army planes should be used for all night duties.
3. Only fly N1K1-J out of Thunderbolt sweep range, use the army to try and lay traps.
4. Fly N1K1-J in big enough numbers to avoid being swamped by Lightnings.

Quiet night in the air. Allies intercept transports lifting troops from Batavia, costs 9 Topsy and 6 Thalia (obsolete aircraft).

I-34 is sunk off the Australian coast. RO-108 is badly damaged off Java.

Allies have entered Soerabaja in force and will take it in a day or so.

Allies sweep Magwe: 13 N1K1-J lost for 13 F4U-1, 10 P-40K. However, there is a shortage of supply available to replace losses.

A group of DD doing a pick up from Rabaul decide to stop 1 hex from it. Luckily they escape with just 2 lightly damaged but will he try and finish them tomorrow?

Soerabaja falls at the first Allied attack. Not much supply left there but over 20,000 fuel lost. An Allied regiment had moved into Banjoewangi by itself and is driven back with heavy losses.

Allied CVs are spotted in force off the North West Cape heading for Perth. Is this for much needed repair, or to support the next invasion?

B7A2 to 6/44.

Status: offline 		Burma Situation

Situation in Burma. The numbers are the rough number of brigade (or division third) equivalents at each hex. Other bases are held in about regimental force. So that is about 15 divisions still committed to the theatre. I reckon I will need about 7 or so to hold the mountain road into China. So that is 8 Divisions that would be useful in China that are still in Burma. I doubt there will be any problem evacuating from Burma as I can fall back through the mountain road but that is 2-3 months walking before they can get anywhere useful.

The only reason to still hold Burma is the oil from Magwe - but that is a very good reason in the current circumstances. I think I have pulled about as much as I can without hopelessly weakening the defense so the next step will be a mass evacuation - what should be the trigger for that?

Nothing much happens

An SC is lost in a CAP trap near Billiton, in heavy rain the incoming strike is only seen when 2 nautical miles away and the Franks on LRCAP fail to engage.

I-40 takes two shots at AK Serpens near Pearl and puts one torpedo into her. However, the counter-attack does 50% float damage and it is a long way to go for repairs. Night-bombing at Balikpapan, some N1K1-J on CAP do well and the Allies lose: 13 B-24D1, 7 B-17F, 3 B-24D (8 of them to air, 7 to flak) and not that many N1K1-J are lost. I think the N1K1-J did well because the B-17s were flying at extended range.

However at Billiton, Thunderbolts massacre the N1K1-J.

Agreed, that was what happened at Noumea. I was just about to leave when it became a moot point.

However, this is an awkward case because it is a successful theatre that some time will become a problem.

Night bombing at Lanchow, some Nicks meet the Liberators: 9 Nicks for 5 Liberators. Small fires started, no damage so far.

Something Allied sinks (probably AK Serpens damaged the day before).

RO-108 is rapidly sinking (30/83/3) as it limps home. It will divert to Oosthaven and see if can make it there and fix some of the worst of the flooding. Unfortunately, an Allied sub sits in the way.

Allies try a bombardment at Warazup to see if I have weakened the defense enough to be worth an attack. Will see what happens tomorrow. I have a third of a division moving in that I intend to use to free the 2nd Tank for redeployment. I assume the monsoon ends soon.

"A", I overbuilt them early thinking they would be more effective than they have proven. I'm sure they are a good stop gap against bombers early - but he never used bombers without major sweeps first.

They have proven nice in the ground attack role against Chinese or isolated armour but are now consigned to protecting rear area bases.

I-157 is lost to Allied ASW forces operating around Kavieng.

I-25 is damaged in the same area.

Allied carrier forces are spotted moving South from Perth, but slowly, are these covering damaged ships?

Samarinda and Lanchow are night-bombed, in neither case does the defense do well. 46 oil lost at Samarinda.

More bombardments at Warazup.

All the damaged ships from Mindanao gather together and set sail for the yards.

Wouldn't work without stacking limits. There is no way I can attack him in the Jungle so if I leave gaps he will infiltrate and force me back. If I build a defense in the plains he can bomb it to shreds or sweep my fighters to death. The most vulnerable spot is the river line between Katha and Kalemyo. He can shock attack out of Kalemyo and then try and get to the road quickly.

I think I will be able to pull back fast enough if I need to.

Chiang Mai was developed when I was attacking Burma so some of the forces being pulled back are slated to garrison it. May also be worth developing Uttaradit a bit.

Seconded. It may be worth developing some of the bases along the Bangkok-Singapore railway as well - being able to shift battered airgroups around to avoid the Allied 4E mega-strike closing your airbases down will be a big boost to your defence.

Good examples would be Kota Bharu and that base adjacent to Victoria Point - both can be big airbases, they've got a rail link and it's impossible for the Allies to mount Fletcher/Cleveland high-speed bombardment runs.

Night strikes at Djambi, Samarinda and Balikpapan: 19 N1K1-J and 6 Ki-44-IIa lost for 5 B-24D1 but the wells are completely protected taking no damage.

9 Allied DD raid the fast transports at Mataram; a PB is lost but a group of 2 DD trades hits equally and manages to escape. I-2 intercepts them on the way in and takes light damage (8/4/0).

A6M5d-S to 2/44. B6N2a to 5/44.

HI at Batavia ran out of resources. Pity that, I was hoping to use up the fuel in production.

Allied probe at Benkoelen but find I am still present in strength.

SS RO-42 arrives.

Chumphon is a level 8 already, as you say it is an excellent base being on the East side. Also Taiping.

I'm a bit reluctant to spend more supply over here given that the most likely threat direction is from the East, a landing in Indo-China or even Southern China after he has either taken the South-West of Borneo or pushed along the East coast of Borneo and around the top.

Orange blobs are major bases (something that would be a major amphibious assault). Yellow blobs are just small defenses. The routes (1) to (4) show possible lines of advance from Soerabaja, there are also possible routes of advance from Darwin, the pacific, North Java, India etc.

Route (1) is my biggest concern as it cuts Palembang off and threatens Indo-China. The main defense is making Singapore a big base.

Route (2), (3) and (4) I can't do much about.

(2) quickly threatens Miri and Tarakan with 4E bombers and puts Balikpapan in range of sweeps. However, Bandjermasin can only be developed to a level 6 airbase so I am not sure he will be able to use it to target the oil, cover land-troops moving on Balikpapan, target ships heading for Balikpapan, and sweep Balikpapan.

(3) seems the easiest route. Madjene can be developed to a level 9 airbase and is just effective at closing Balikpapan and Tarakan and almost as good against Miri. - On this basis I think I need to see if I can reinforce Madjene.

(4) is a bit longer and I am not too worried about it.

Edit: Missed off Cagayan in Northern Mindanao as an orange blob.

Quiet night.

DD Arashi commits suicide by messing up a fast transport pick-up from Batavia.

A PB is damaged near Dadjangas by a sub attack but should have no difficulty making port.

RO-37 is badly damaged off Exmouth (53/87/4).

Iwo-Jima and Chichi-Jima forts to 6, I guess they could do with being more. Oops, looks like that is as big as they are allowed to increase to.

More Allied bombardments at Benkoelen.

7 Chinese Corps have been isolated in the mountains since March. 70 Heavy guns have bombarded them every day and they have been subject to attacks 2 out of 3 days for a couple of months. At last, 2 Corps surrender. Indications that there are nothing left except support squads. He may have been flying some supply in but with over-stacking and all that should only cover one or two Corps and I have put some fighters over them on occasions.

At Madioen, the 48th Division has been driven out of the base but the Allies are intent upon destroying it. Bombing and regular attacks are weakening the defense but they are still managing to destroy a few Allied devices each time. This is one division I didn't withdraw a cadre for so when it is destroyed I will buy it back and send it to Hokkaido to rebuild. It makes more sense for him to isolate it and then leave a token force to keep it busy. I may order a shock attack to hasten the demise while they still have some active squads.

Night strike at Balikpapan is costly for the defense; 14 Ki-43-IIb, 13 Ki-84a, 1 N1K1-J for 3 B-24D1 but only 2 points of oil production lost.

Ro-106 encounters a mine-sweeper force just North of Banjoewangi heading for Soerabaja, damage is minor.

Oil pool to Fusan is beginning to work well and Urumchi is emptying again, still can't move fuel from there. Big oil stickage at the moment is Burma, there is a 200 per day oil shortfall in Burma but over 58000 oil lurking between Magwe and Rangoon. I think Rangoon must drag oil over from Malaya and that leaves the oil at Magwe nowhere to go to. I'm going to see what happens if I turn off the refinery at Rangoon (turns out it flows to Saigon).

Search out of Pearl seems to have been increased, subs at 11 hexes from Pearl are being 10/10 spotted.

Otherwise a quiet day.
