By the way, I noticed that from April 1 to April 7, the Manchukuo Garrison value dropped from 12296 to 10985. I assume that is related to troop losses and possibly supply issues in Manchukuo, but that trend could mean the Garrison would drop below 8000 in as little as 2 weeks. Soviet activation might be that dramatic at this stage though considering the US is heavy in Korea already.

Message sent to Dan with the morning turn:

Let April 13, 1945 be the benchmark for when Imperial Japan began serious surrender discussions at the highest levels of its government. It doesn’t leak to the people but it does to American Intelligence.

Damn. The combat firepower you have is AMAZING.


VP Changes for the day are Japan +64 and the Allies a whopping +1,430. Keijo fell, Port Arthur went from a normal operational base to being CRUSHED in one turn, ditto for Tientsin. Wow.

Lowpe might be right in his prediction...

Status: offline 		Keijo is supposed to be worth a lot of points (I haven't checked but that is what they said in the other AAR) so with the flip of that base it's a double whammy on the points ratio. With that big US carrier fleet in the Yellow Sea, I can't imagine any coastal base there is safe for your guys. Good luck with the, uh, delicate negotiations at the top levels of IJ government, and kudos for fighting on under increasingly awful conditions.

Who would I be if not working on carrying out a truly STUPID Operation??!! Damn it. I am a JFB! We are going over to the attack in the Indian Ocean.

A Task Force of 3 CV, 2 CVL, 1 CA, and 8 Moon-Class DDs left Batavia three days ago and are moving into the depths of the IO before staging a raid near Ceylon. We have nearly 200 fighters and 150 Attack Planes for this. Three days prior to the CV TF leaving a TF of six fully loaded AOs (48,000 Fuel) moved out into this dead area of the seas.

This is the last Deep Water Raid to be staged by Japan. Let us HOPE it catches SOMETHING!


Following CRSutton's comment, a TF of 4 CA and 6 DD depart Yokohoma heading for Kyushu. Two Kongo's and a B-65 are nearly repaired and will follow. They shall be escorted by 8 DDs.

These three TFs are all that remains of the Operational Kaigun.

There are 11 CVs and 4 DD disbanded deep in the Kuriles...



Japan will NOT go QUIETLY into the night my fellow JFBs. Let us all CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR one...more...time...

BANZAI!

Status: offline 		Just got tomorrow morning's turn and this is Dan's response back to what I wrote earlier:

These are evil and dark days for the Vampire...I mean Empire. The Allies have so much force in such proximity that it seems overwhelming. I still worry every turn about your ability to turn and bite back. I hope your persistence and doggedness earns you good karma in the future. I just hope it doesn't show up in this game. With your gift for striking, I'll remain on my toes until the bitter end finally arrives. And then I'll miss the contest very much.


He hits on the same thing I said regarding time and relationship after five years.

VP
Japan 76,482 +53
Allies 142,780 +559

Lose I-201 and Ro-65 laying a minefield in the coastal hex next to Genzan, Korea while I-198 SINKS AVP Arend with a pair of TTs near Cox's Bazar. My SS still have teeth!

This month has seen just under 600,000 Fuel and Oil arrive (good to June) and my HI still has 434,453 left in the stockpile. Though supply is horrific the economy is humming along still cranking out all sorts of war material.



On Adar's comment above, Dan has told me that he knows where Japan's CV are nearly every day. Is Allied intel, truly, that good at this time???
