Status: offline 		They were bombing from 10k as this is the limit set by the house rules...
When i think about it maybe it was better to go for the ships in port... i downed 140 of Dan's naval LBA already and their crew quality sure took a hit...
I have no ilusions about the damage i did to the CA's as i dubt the bombs penetrated their armor... but maybe the attack will force Dan to move out of Saigon harbor right into my patroling subs...
I know need to evac Singapore ASAP as i bet Dan will send his bombers there

PS. No recon as i didn't have the planes with the range to do that and i didn't want to alert Dan of my plans...

Unfortunately the CAs he had there were Mogami class cruisers, which have heavier deck armour (but a bit less side armour) and a 500 lb bomb will not penetrate the deck.
The same bomb will penetrate the Kako, Myoko and Atago class CA decks. Not sure about Tone and Chikuma.

Still, a very worthwhile raid.

Tonnage of Merchant Ships Sunk: 20775
Nr of Warships Sunk: 7

Nr of Subs lost on Patrol:3

A good number of attacks but lots of misses and dud's but i was able to sink transport Teisen Maru off Kuching and torpedo AV Sanuki Maru (propbably some kind of a tender) near Wake but it will not sink...

Malaya
Decided to abandon Kuala Lumpur its to exposed and can be bypassed... Dan is sending his Army bombers on run's to Singapore with Oscar escort. When my planes in Palambang will re repaired will send 45 P-40's and bunch off Buffalos to intrcept

DEI
Had to scrap my Strike force sortie as i spotted enemy carriers heading for Kuching and some surface group was also heading to the base... decided its not wort the risk... well i was wrong it turned out that Dan invaded some small island of the N coast of Borneo with the cover of his CV's and surface forces!!!!! well i think it was not worth the effort as he landed over 100 AV there... Any way i will sortie the strike force once more maybe i will get lucky... Dan is night bombing Palambang with few Betty's so no damage inflicted. First units of the 18th Division reached the base! so it will be a tough nut to crack for Dan. Jolo airfield become operational so entire eastern DEI is off limits to anything except submarines.

SW PAC

My troops unloaded at Luganville and i see no oposition from that which is good.

Pacific
Im in the process of getting all of my carriers to Pearl to start raiding Wake and Marshalls!!! Wake will also be bombed by my CA's

Status: offline 		An AV is a seaplane service vessel. Anything with a V generally involves aircraft - AV, CV, AKV, AVD, AVP etc.
Putting [usually disbanded] an AV at a port that lacks an airfield or other aviation support enables you to operate and repair flying boats or float planes. The number of planes supported is shown on the ship screen.

Section 20.1.2 of the manual has an appendix defining what ship types do.

9 attacks all misses or dud’s... heh only 3 months and my subs will get radar... maybe then my effectives will increase..

Malaya/DEI
Time has come for a set piece battle... all signs point that Dan will be invading Singkawang. In any case Dan’s fleet is out in force. Kongo and Haruna were spotted and attacked by Blenheims from Singapore between Sumatra and Borneo, a surface Group with CL Isizu is close behind another group of ships with Atago and Takao are close to Kuching heading for Singkawang... probably an invasion force... enemy carriers are behind that... and there is also a transport group loading up after the folly of landing in a dot base N of Borneo.
British LBA attacks failed but only few planes flew...
I have most of my DEI fleet off Borneo... and time for my attack has come!
Japanese Army aviation hit Singapore but the number of fighters is less than normal while my LBA meet some Oscars over enemy ships (this means Dan moved some fighters from Malaya to Kuching)
This is what i will do... first all available fighters from USFEAF (40 P-40’s) and 3 squadrons of Buffalos will be moved to Singapore to ambush enemy bombers (the 4th was converted to Hurricanes and its repairing in Johore), all available Dutch Martin’s will be send to Palambang, while surface groups will move just a bit north and wait one day before proceeding ( i need to make sure he is making Singkawang landing) while Hermes will be used as a lure for enemy Carriers... if i play it right it should be able to lunch it’s TB’s at enemy Battleships while being out of range of Jap carrier planes.
Im currently moving all my A-24’s from Eastern DEI to Java and will use them as the second wave of my attack.
I have a number of subs speeding to the area!
Also there are those B-17’s but i don’t want to use them for striking ships as they are hardly able to hit anything that moves...
Also if it turns out that Dan is going for Palambang he is in for a rude surprise! As tomorrow i should have all of 18th Division in that base (right now its only a brigade with support troops).

Every other theatre is quiet.+

BTW thanks for the clarification BBFanboy... demn i own this game for years now and never bothered to read the manual

I really wouldn't call it a complete failure at all. Ship losses on my end have been very high (total number of ships sunk between is us about equal)...every ship I sink of yours will be replaced tenfold (like the Hydra!), while mine are irreplaceable. You've managed several solid hits, including complete elimination of multiple support and infantry units (including a complete Infantry Regiment!)...hardly a complete failure!

Something to note when comparing our games is the date & pace of Empire advance. Looks like Dan is several weeks behind my pace, giving Przemcio a lot more opportunity to organize a defense. Imagine how thinks might be in our game if I'd waited until the second week of Jan to hit Singkawang. I knew it was going to be vital, so made effort to take it before you could mount a "serious" defense, and even still without a "serious" defense you sank half a dozen ships and killed several Air Support units as shark food. :)

That being said Prz knows the allocation and distribution of forces very well so knows exactly what he has available scattered all over to concentrate (before concentration becomes problematic and potentially more dangerous). Reading his actions here are terrifying from my perspective as a new JFB...I don't know what I'd do if faced with this aggressive and rapid a defensive response!

Status: offline 		Well just send the turn to Dan… He was swamped with work last 2 days. Any way let’s see what happens. Fighters were sent to Singapore, LBA to Palambang and CVL Hermes was sent to try to hit enemy BB’s, my surface groups are holding back for now 6 hexes S of Singkawang awaiting his invasion forces...
Well Dan’s loses are not that heavy in terms of ships as he didn’t conduct so many invasions... after a bloody nose i gave him early on... the only real losses he suffered are the naval LBA pilots since around 140 are dead... or captured :)
Guy’s there is no real possibility of defending the DEI if you are able to sunk a CA or two and some other ships, and delay the Japanese seizure of the DEI till let’s say march/april that is a success :)
I knew that Dan is inexperienced so i didn’t want to push on force Z survival on turn one as with POW and Repulse around i would wreck havoc on Dan’s forces...
I was always trying to figure why the developers set force Z on a suicide run... as they sunk on the 10th December...

Status: offline 		The suicide run for PoW and Repulse is part of the historic setup the game gives at the start.
If house rules permit, an allied player may be able to change the initial setup and send Force Z to safety, or to attempt to attack enemy convoys out of range of air cover.
I did this in one game against the AI and they ran into Nagato and Fuso at Kuching. The British couldn't hit anything, and the Japanese couldn't miss with their big guns or their torpedoes, so it was a suicide mission anyway!

No enemy air raids on Singapore... odd also Dan pulled back his fleet to cover his transports loading up after this strange invasion. Well i could go in guns blazing but decided against it just now... so my ships were pulled back 3 hexes south and will await further developments. Also Dan's carriers got lost... wonder where they went...
On the other hand i send in 5 subs to intercept Dan ships maybe i will get lucky.

Pacific

In 3 of 4 days will commence my offensive action... i wonder if Dan's Carriers are still around Wake or went home...

I have noticed colour shifting in the allied mines on screen too - thought it was something in my graphics card.
By shifting the screen left/right and up/down the mines will sometimes change to each one of the Allied colours - and the Japanese red! That was how I first noticed it - when a place I had swept of IJN mines suddenly was showing more but I couldn't sweep them.

Never noticed colour shift in the subs though! Maybe NZ won some in a poker game!

His red is turned up so high it is bleeding ;] That is darkening the green to an almost blue. Contrast difference with his monitor.

Few attacks no hits scored... 7 subs are now operating around Kuching... maybe i will get lucky.

Malaya/DEI

7th was quiet while on the 8th enemy fighters sweept Singapore and achived 3 to 2 kill ratio... well that is bad but i don't really care since i killed around 20 Oscars with their experienced pilots will continue tomorrow this time with some hurricanes around Well Dan landed on the island becouse he forgot to set do not unload on his TF well i think he is all loaded up now... so time for my attack has come... will gamble a bit:
- both surface TF's will go in set to pass Singkawang on their way in so if Dan will send his forces to invade they should bump right into my ships
- would have sent in the A-24's to Kuching with some fighters but the supply level at the base is probably to small... will have to dubble check that
I could just send my ships away but if i will be able to damage Dan's forces he will be more catious and the longer he is sitting in the DEI the more time i have to strenghten PM and Pacific Bases.
18th Division is at Palambang now so i hope Dan will be suprised as hell when he will land there in the future.
I was able to haul a good deal of Fuel from Palambang to Darwin as this is my next designated submarine base.
Well Dan will land at Singkawang no matter what i do so i might as well try to hit him now as the battle will happen anyway and im not going to hold back now as he might finally notice that my LBA sucks a big time and send his CV's before surface groups...

Pacific
4 US fleet Carriers will sortie with a surface group to hit Wake and then the Marshalls


Thanks for the input guy's yes Dan forces were positioned to protect his transports... as for the color i don't know why Paint tones the color down when i save the image... normaly the color is brighter.
I did played with the nation colors... Ind - purple , Brit - brown , Aus - dark green , NZ - light green , US - blue , FR - light blue , Dutch - orange

DD Sagiri is the first real japanese ship sunk by my subs of Kuching... few attacks and as always they missed.

DEI/Malaya

ABDA strike forces went in... Losses on my side are CA Canberra and Australia sunk toghether with CL Achilles and 6 Destroyers... but the mission was a succes!!!!! My CA force first encountered Haruna and Kongo with a CL and 4 DD's thats when Canberra bought it while Australia and Achilles got shoot up, then my CL force run into Dan's transport with CL Tama and Oi as escorts with 4 DD's and a DMS his escorts did a good job as only few shells landed on japanese transports but Tama severly damaged while DD Michishio and DMS were damnaged, Next up was the biggest suprise... my light cruiser force runed right into Dan's Carriers!!!!!! and again Dan was lucky as i was able to put some shell's into Kaga and Ryujo... but nothing serious... i now know that KAGA and AKAGI are in the DEI... up next damaged Australia and Achilles blundered into Atago and Taka with a CL and 3 DD's well the outcome was to be expected both of my cruisers were sunk with 4 escorting DD's but i damaged CL Kashii and 3 of Dan's destroyers... But it ended with the light cruiser force attacking Dan's transports again this time it happend during the day and the results show DD Stronghold recived heavy damage but Dan's TF was shoot to pices only 3 DD's escaped unharmed while rest of the ships recived damage!!!! There were few small skirmishes during the day and my light cruiser force lost a DD but im happy with the results!!!
My surface ships made good of their escape... now i wonder if Dan will try to send his carriers south but after such bloody nose he will probably fall back to reorganize

There are some surface TF's close to Singkawang but i think those are just warships...

As for ABDA fleet... it's current composition CVL Hermes, CA Exeter, 6x CL (but Tromp is a more like DD) and 22 Tin Cans... all ready to go as soon as they will be refueled at Soreboja I have one additional CL damaged but i don't think i will be able to repair it a Soreboja. Also CV Indomitable with 3 additional DD's is around 10 days away.
When i started to hit Dan in the DEI should have packed everything that survived Pearl and send it to DEI... with PAC fleet here i would not just give Dan another bloody nose but totaly massacre his fleet

Pacific is quiet... i will hit Marshalls soon... now that i know where Kaga and Akagi are i can move in since even if Dan is keeping his remaining carriers close to Wake it will be 4 on 4 and those are the odds i can easly take...

Behold

Your opponent seems to have a very poor task force composition. No CA's, two CV's with a CVL? He is lucky his carriers didn't end up full of torpedoes. So what were the final results?

Well got lots of attacks but either misses and dud’s but i got lucky twice... My subs patrolling off Saigon sunk a DD Michishio and a big troop transport Mizucho Maru both of which were earlier damaged off Kuching... But there is a potentially sad news uncovered by my subs. A sub patrolling of Kwaelejn Atoll attacked and missed on a big AG(?) ship... is it possible that Dan got a sniff of what i’m planning... well it looks like i will have to wait and see.

Malaya/DEI
Ok i don’t know what to make of this... Dan landed some units in Mersing on the cost of Malaya... why is he doing that??? All my combat troops are now in either Johore Bahru or in Singapore itself and with the airfields of N Malaya in his hands he’s recon planes should have picked that up... well in any case my planes from Palambang went in on with the help of a few A-24’s on the 11th but they were only able to hit one APD... Japanese planes made a heavy raid on Singapore... will meet it tomorrow with all iv got. Also there is a large concentration of Japanese shipping just off Singkawang this time i was able to spot a TF with BB Fuso in it with the Kongo&Haruna group that makes a big concentration of firepower... also Dan’s carriers were spotted in the area too... wonder if its Kaga and Akagi or maybe rest of the KB showed up. If so that is so much better for me... Palambang now has nearly 600 AV worth of units with lvl 3 fort!

My strike groups arrived at Soreboja... well few days and they are ready to go but with another bunch of Dan’s BB’s in the area i don’t think i can do much damage. Will try of course.

Maybe it’s time for another B-17 visit to Saigon... this time will fly them from Rangoon if i have the range...
And i have 10 submarines off Singkawang will try to hunt for some big game!!!

Pacific
Well my Carrier TF’s are like 3 days away from the Marshalls will commence with Port attack on Kwaelejn Lagoon... while 6 heavy cruisers are bound for Wake in 3 days !

Battle of Singkawang
Well as for now i have confirmation of sinking 2 japanese CL’s the Tama and Kashii and a DD but CL Oi and couple of other Japanese Tin Cans were shoot up pretty bad so they may sink while RTB... any way it was worth it!

AG Taisoku Maru was sunk off Miri today, also one of my subs patroling off Cam Rhan Bay got a fish into a big AK Tosan Maru... the follow up attack turned DUD

Malaya/DEI

GREAT SINGAPORE TURKEY SHOOT happend today as Japanese bombers tryed to attack Singers... well my fighters put up a good fight... while losing 0 PLANES i was able to down 28 Sally's 11 Lily's and 5 Oscars!!!!!! thats 44 to nil for me It looks like Dan is going for Palambang many surface TF's were spotted heading there between Borneo and Sumatra... i will not send my surface fleet its to risky now... will use submarines to intercept. Dutch LBA bought it today as it valiantly tryed to hit Dan's ships heading for Palambang... 33 Martins shoot down for no hits.
Well that was to be expected.
Dutch LBA is doomed from the begining as i can't move it out of the DEI.
Now i need to plan what to do next... Fighters will remain at Singapore as they can easly reach Batavia if i need to evac them at some point. Subs will be sent to intercept enemy shipping off Palambang.
I would love to see Dan's face when he realizes that there is entire British Division weaiting for him

Well got lucky CL Yura was sunk torpedod off Palambang and the sunk retireing my first big ship sunk. Well my subs are not doing much damage at the moment... foulty torpedos and lack of radar but that will change in few months...

Malaya/DEI

Oscar sweeps took their toll on my fighters in Singapore so i need to pull them back and replenish my numbers. My LBA attacks on Dan invasion force were ineffective at best... well those Dutch and British fellows can't hit anything. Dan BB's hit Batavia but the damage was light... now i spotted another big TF heading that way. So i pulled everything back from there.
Well i think it is time to pull my surface assets from Soreboja... they did enough good there Dan's LBA from Jolo are hitting my tankers hauling fuel from Belikapapan so they need to fall back too... i think after the bloody nose i gave him he will be cautius in the theater. Dan landed a brigade of troops with some arty in Palambang he was might surprised when he encountered a whole division there

Pacific
6 US Heavy cruisers bombed Wake... and sunk some off ships there unloading or something... Also 4 US CV's raided Kwaelejn for minimal losses i sunk 4 subs 3 patrol boats and damaged numerous other craft... will redo the attack tomorrow.
Dan has lots of work now so turns are slower
