Certainly a big day for the IJA with the fall of Manila, Djambi and Kanhsien. After a short break the cessation of the Manila siege will free up 4 tank regiments, 12 artillery units, 2 army HQs and 3 divisions for operations elsewhere. Sitting in the wings will be 7th and 56th Division and 65th Brigade. These three bore the brunt of the IJA losses and will need some time to repair before they are thrown back into the fray. 23rd and 24th Naval Garrison Units will be united with their respective Port Units to make up 2 new Special Base Units. I shall have to work out what gets to travel to the Indian adventure and what needs to stay in the Pacific. Cagayan also needs to be finished off to more or less complete the Philippines operation. As for Manila… quite the surprise. Only 3 port damage to repair and light industry completely intact and only minimal damage to resources. The repair shipyard is the only thing needing real attention as it is 100% ruined.

Djambi reveals all oil untouched and ready for use.

The fall of Kanhsien will free up a couple of divisions, an artillery unit and a HQ unit to move to Hengyang and assist with threatening Changsha from the rear flank. I expect the troops expelled from Kanhsein will flee to Kukong which will see 13 Chinese units holed up in Kukong. The airfield is already at 100% damaged so I will continue with the aerial pounding and leave those troops to hang on a limb for a while.

Well this is a surprise pick up but I’m still in no position to take advantage of another good position to the rear of Changsha. The Chinese have 1 unit here so it should revert to their control next turn.

This single unit left Manila some time ago and now here it sits completely surrounded. The 1st Independent SNLF is too weak to do it in just yet but perhaps after some bombing and easting up of supply this situation will change.

INDIA

Nagumo’s carriers have been ordered to perform sweeps of Madras. Recon has report 28 fighters at the base. Only a couple of bombers but still enough to keep the carriers a couple of hexes further than I would like. A delicate act of eating away at the CAP and keeping the carriers safe. We meet the Hurricane for the first time and we come away an exchange rate of just under 2 of theirs for 1 of ours. The game has taken a turn with this turn seeing the first serious aerial counter to the Zero. I think another day at least of sweeps before I consider sending in carrier bombers to start hitting the AF.

I send Hiryu’s fighters in for a sweep. I figure that (much as I do not want too) I need to keep up the sweep pressure until I have land based Zeros to do the job. After the last sweep I was looking to see what the CAP band level response would be. From the combat report it seems that the Hurricanes are flying at max altitude. I shall have to query Todd on this as one of our few HRs is that CAPs and Sweeps are limited to no higher than 2nd best band for plane type. The matchup between the A6M2 and the Hurricane IIa Trop looks fairly even with the Hurri getting the advantage of armour and flying over home base.

Not quite there yet as the defenders gave a good account of themselves today. A couple of trashed independent regiments will haul themselves out of the lines to head rearwards and recuperate. We shall wait a while here to allow supply to come forward and some front line repairs to take place. While that is happening we shall also await the arrival of a couple of divisions waiting in the wings after taking time out for their own stint of recuperation.

Well I knew that there was some movement out of Changsha going on but is seems a complete withdrawal has taken place. We shall attack next turn and it appear that Changsha will be picked up on the cheap. I had no real intention of forcing the issue here for some time. The Chinese units look to be heading to Changteh with the intention of holing up there.

The hurricanes have departed and there is also movement dots on the troops at Madras. Does this indicate that the Allies have given up on Madras. If true that will change my plans on how strong a force needs to be allocated to this operation.

So ends a tumultuous first 4 months of advance by Japan. It shall only become a desperate enterprise from here on in.

Todd sent me the following text with his last turn.

You have triggered a massive response by London. Rather than lose the Jewel of the Empire secret talks with Herr Hitler have begun. It appears that Churchill's hatred for Stalin could be greater than that of Hitler when India is factored in. FDR is not pleased by these events and he has been in contact with the Kiwis and Aussies

It seems that behind the scenes Churchill must be bowing to pressure and uncharacteristically is looking to broker a deal with Hitler. Curses… The Germans are meant to be assisting me not releasing the British hordes to secure their jewel. Given the hard coding of the game it is not going to make too much difference to what is one the board. I do wonder though if Todd is signalling that the Brits have been left to fend for themselves whilst FDR looks to Oz and NZ as springboards to defeating Japan. I’m expecting the USN to start becoming adventurous and this can only be a portent in that direction.

Status: offline 		I had thought that March would be something of a lean month in the way of big things happening for Japan. How wrong I was.

Major and important bases captured by Japan:

CHINA

Lanchow, Hengyang, Siangtan, Kanhsien and Changsha.

MALAYA/DEI

Soerabaja, Medan, Bengkalis, Palembang, Kuantan and Djambi.

PHILIPPINES

Manila

Seizing the opportunity of all this good fortune lead to an east coast invasion of India. By the end of the month Cocanda, Vizagapatnam and Bezwada had been secured as preliminary bases to stage further attacks.

The capture of Manila has meant that many units tied to this siege are now free for duties elsewhere – read India for many of them.

Changhsa, as previously noted, was something of a gift in that I am sure that a determined resistance would have held me here for months.


At sea great victories were scored in the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.

Carrier Div 5 lead by Yamaguchi fell upon a loaded troop convoy and carried out a ruthless destruction of enemy shipping. Not to be outdone was Nagumo in command of a reduced KB (Akagi, Kaga and Hiryu + 2 CVL) which completed the destruction of British shipping making a move out of Calcutta after the famous night actions of Nippa’s cruisers Nachi and Myoko which sank and crippled the escorts. I do hope to manufacture some more results to emulate this but it is going to become harder to do as we move deeper into 1942.

Only in the air was there not much to report. Zeros finally met Hurricanes in the skies above Madras but that lasted a couple of days before the Hurricanes were withdrawn. Other than that lots of uninterrupted bombing in China.

Not too much changing here with Sian still in Chinese hands. I expect this to change by the end of April.

So far so good in China. Soon begins the hard work of breaking the line into the central plains.

I note that I've managed to rack up 100 operational losses for the month. Clearly not a good sign and most likely due to unrelenting activity no matter what the state of weather conditions.

Portland still heads the list and I still believe this is likely to be HMAS Australia.

HMS Cornwall makes the list but I expect this be wishful thinking.

CL Leander was confirmed as sunk during March.

New ships to make the list as a result of the successful IJN actions are:

AMC Corfu
AS Lucia
AS Holland
CL Dragon
xAP Largos Bay
xAP Moreton Bay
