Most likely no turn today...as the family is off to Gettysburg, and I am behind in my turn to Obvert. Those turns are a real bear! That's a pun folks!


Yeah, we got it!!

Massive tank battle north of Shwebo...the Allies don't bomb them, though they are swept by Corsairs and Hellcats. A few Franks fight them getting decent attrition rates.

The AA is super nasty...but the bombers have to hit them to deplete supply and hopefully raise disruption.

Sinking sounds were heard during the day...but nothing listed.

The big xAP that had got fires down to 9 takes a turn for the worse and fires run rampant exploding up to 80. She was hit by a sub the other day.

Over Seward the Allies swept with close to 200 fighters today. Japanes LRCAP took the day off.

What a difference it will make I think. Not to mention all the tracom pilots.

That will give Jocke something else to worry about.

Just noticed the Ikoma's TB sentai can upgrade straight to the Grace! Yippee! I resized them to 27, and they will await that plane which will most likely arrive in April of 1944.

Status: offline 		State of Japan:

Industry in excellent shape. Very pleased with r&d and the unlooked for appearance of advanced Jills with the Ikoma means that I will be able to upgrade all squadrons to the Grace in April that are capable of Grace upgrades. Tanker losses to subs have been heavy, but there is still more than enough. Really only have about 8 more months of fuel/oil shipments from the SRA (my goal is to keep it flowing till June 44 from Singers).

Reserves: 4 Divisions resting, rebuilding (almost all done), and training (sadly not started yet) at Tokyo. But they are bought out and there is plentiful shipping present.

Marianas: 1 Division+ at all major bases, building up the defense at the others. With the resounding victory at Midway, the immediate pressure is off for now...and with the Deathstar near Horn Island. Had Midway fallen, the road to the Marianas would be wide open...hard to think of a more critical base in 1943 than Midway.

Burma: In a critical phase right now. I have given up trying to protect the industry at either Rangoon or Magwe which are both in perfect shape, but rather I am focusing on destroying some Allied divisions. It is concievable (but unlikely) I wipe out 4+ divisions 100%. I am unclear if this really will mean any slowdown however -- I suspect that the Allies might pull back and launch a super invasion rather than proceed overland. I don't like being in Burma in 1944.

SRA: As always this was my great fear of an Allied advance. Why it hasn't happened is anyones guess.

Biskmark Sea: Fall of Rabaul hurts, but Allies aren't exploiting their victory here.

KB will make Guam and then on to Boela area most likely. However there are a great many surface ships within striking range of Taberfane. I am probably close to my goal of 20 SAG task forces. But do I have the nerve to send them in? Maybe...but it might be better to save them for Luzon/Mindanao or the Marianas.

Whither the Allied Deathstar....night reports show it just off Horn in a holding position.

Status: offline 		The question for the Allies is are they willing to lose 10 bombers a day hitting the troops north of Shwebo to prevent the destruction of two more Allied units...and the answer is he almost certainly has to.

The troops were swept heavily by Jugs and Corsairs. No resistance in the air from Japan.

Status: offline 		The Myrt is in the future for Japan, but tomorrow I will allocate a r&d factory to it.

I still have two more big groups of r&d facilities to roll into new planes...from the A6M8 and the Tony lines.

I am hard pressed right now to figure out what to do with them....given this is a pdu off game. That eliminates the kamikazes. All the late war fighters except for Ki94II don't have many squadrons.

Maybe something really exotic? Or just a real bum rush into the Ki94II?

Status: offline 		Perhaps the Ki83 twin engine fighter is worth r&d...at least 4 squadrons of Oscars upgrade to it...so that is a large improvement...unlike going for final George to Shinden for example.

Patsy might be a choice as is the Kikka. It is really tough picking end game planes in pdu off...would be a real headache without tracker.

Midway...despite being about 1/3rd overstacked disruption is low. Might attack again today.
