Please find a brief summary for the following for Pacific Theater of Operations in the Java Region. With the loss of Clark Field the we expect the forces in the Philippines to be removed from the field in the next fifteen days.

Java
Japanese forces have secured the central positions and will shortly be moving to secure Batavia and Soerabaja. As it is not practical to relieve the island by sea this area cannot hold for more than a month.

Singapore
General Donald McLeod and his forces will go down in history as one of the finest forces ever to take the field. After repulsing the last attack with shattering losses to the Japanese forces they continue to hold. Despite all convention logic which dictates their position is hopeless, I am unwilling to write them off their stand as hopeless.

As always……

Please find a summary for the following for Burma Theater of Operations. The Japanese forces have advanced to the outskirts of Burma over a week ago have yet to even being artillery bombardment. We believe that they have only marched into the area to avoid a third bombardment if they had remained in Pegu. At this time he simply does not have the force needed to storm Rangoon without a lengthy siege similar to the one at Pegu.

Rangoon
The 17th Indian Division and the 17th Australian Brigade hold Rangoon behind level three forts. The base is covered by over 100 allied fighters which have been able to control the air.

Bassien
The 1st Burma Division and the 17th is rebuilding and resting. The force will be used to hold open the line of retreat from Rangoon when the time comes.

Prome
The 16th Australian Brigade hold this city, a key to the lines of communications to Rangoon.

My forces will shortly be laying waste to the Moulmien port and airfields.

As always……

Please find a summary for the following for Pacific Theater of Operations, over the last twenty days. The Japanese Combined Fleet carrier raid on Fiji twenty days ago amounting to very little damage to one of the slow battleships in the First Battle Task Force. The same can’t be said for the submarine ambushes during the same time frame – one battleship will require 60 days in the shipyard and two others thirty days in the yard. The plus side is the two that require thirty days are also due upgrades that will take roughly the same time.

Massive ASW is underway around Fiji as there are between six and twelve submarines still active in this area. We estimate that two have been sunk and six others damaged enough to require time in the shipyard.

We are in the process of moving forces in place for operation Ironhide and it seems there is an opportunity to trap the combined fleet. As the Mini-KB just sailed north from Perth two days ago – we can engage the Combined Fleet separate from the Mini-KB.

Current Estimates have the Japanese fleet with 388 total aircraft vs 615 in the Allied Fleet of Doom. There are also various land bases aircraft that have the potential to be brought into action.

As always……

Agreed, but all my pilots have at least gotten to 70 Air or 70 Naval. But I can't pass up a 200 AC differential if it is accurate.

Status: offline 		He just used 200 sorties to attack the small fry at Raoul Island - that pretty much balances the losses in my books.

It looks like he is headed to NZ and at normal speed will cover 9 hexes in that direction next turn. If you use normal speed you will also go about 9 hexes and still be at the magic 9 hex distance that favours the IJN strike. You need to go full speed or back off until he has used up more sorties and aircraft on NZ.

It would be great if you could catch him between NZ and Raoul Island where you could have LBA support from both.

Agreed, and very good eye on the nine hexes. When I saw where we ended up I was very happy to still be a ghost in the wind.

As the turn is already gone, its too late to make any changes. I would not have made any changes as my fuel on four of my five Carrier Task forces is at 40%. The plan was to replenish my task forces after the long run from Peal East of Raoul. When his carrier forces were spotted North of Noumea there was only time to get one task force refueled and still get into postion. I am going to move to block his forces south of the Raoul/Auckland line. The hope is he ends up south of me or I can catch his replenishment task force. If he ends up south he will have to come through me to get out.

Logistics and Fuel its funny how this things impact the game, if I had stopped to refuel around Christmas Island I would not have been able to get here. But now that I am here I need to watch the fuel tanks.

He is either going to do one of three things -

1) Withdraw Which means he will be north of my projected location.
2) Stay in the general area and try to hit the remaining ships and cripples at Raoul.
3) Move south to hit Auckland which has 35 US P-40E's flying CAP.

Here is to hoping that I can burn more sorties and torpedoes on Raoul/Auckland versus land based air!

Will we try a full speed run at him this time, we have enough fuel for one of these runs and now is the time. Any thoughts?

As I have not seen an replenishment task force even if he refueled at Noumea he won't be able to make any high speed runs without meeting up with one. My best guess is this is a giant raid to disrupt my shipping and he will head north between Fiji and Pago Pago as his exit route.

If he is at all worried about an engagement with your carriers, why wouldn't he run to Noumea for LBA cover and replenishment?

I don't understand why you think he will exit between Fiji and P-P? Does he control those islands?
If he is at all worried about an engagement with your carriers, why wouldn't he run to Noumea for LBA cover and replenishment?


I am not sure what why I felt that way last night, I blame a lack of sleep . The more I thought about it last night the more I felt will run a little more to the northeast as noted by the intel to try and bag some more ships and then exit towards Noumea. My best guess at this point is his exit will be between Raoul and Fiji.

The airfield at Noumea is offline and has been offline for while, we sent in a strike yesterday to ensure it stays closed.

Status: offline 		A nice victory for what really was an overextended and fatigued KB. It's not impervious in '42, especially mid-'42; and using it in the way he had was callous. This should allow you to certainly speed up offensive operations within the year.

Status: offline 		Awesome result - but no secondary explosions on those CVs?? Very unusual for that number of hits.

What was that night engagement by the DD about? Did you send it out intentionally to find the KB or was that just serendipity?

In your Tracker results I suspect some FOW - I would guess Shokaku instead of Zuikaku and Soryu instead of Hiryu (unless there were secondary explosions that really added to the damage to Zuikaku and Shokaku.

I think you should chase him and engage tomorrow unless he has strong SCTFs nearby.

BTW - you chose your intercept position perfectly - well done!

I suspect at least 2 .. be prepared that you engage those targets and any faster ships make haste ...

It looks like he is headed to NZ and at normal speed will cover 9 hexes in that direction next turn. If you use normal speed you will also go about 9 hexes and still be at the magic 9 hex distance that favours the IJN strike.


The farthest strike is 8 hexes I believe .. but the problem is 9 hexes away and one reacts forward one hex and free strike ..

I agree on the secondary explosions, but so far I have seen none.

It was deliberate, I pulled a DD out of the replenishment task force he just hit and sent him at Flank Speed to slow down/locate the KB while his friends ran at full speed away. At best I was hoping to find the KB at night but never expected to get a torpedo off at a the Akagi.

All ships are set to engage the enemy. I don't have much fuel but the question is how much speed does he have left? And does he cut the carrier lose if they are slowing him down?

Thanks, it worked out far better than planned.

Status: offline 		You pulled off a Midway 3 weeks early and against the entire KB. I would suspect 1 Sunk out right and 3 others is serious trouble. He will have to cut and run so expect a sacrificed surface TF to charge your expected carrier location and him to split off into several small groups to disperse your next day strikes. He will maximize his fighters on his good carriers in and effort to save them and hope the rest can get away. He has a long way to go and his damage control is not up to the quality of the U.S. carriers. Again a great job against an opponent who was worn out and over confident.
