June 1, 1942

The IJN lets a few subs loose around batu Palaat that seem to completely miss the mines and ASW. They sink a couple of xAKL but miss the ones carrying the AA unit to Malacca, luckily. I've just gotten a few big USN minelayers here and I'll send them up full to close the straits completely. I've got CD guns at both of the bases North of Singers, Bengkalis and Batu Palat. The Ashigara and two CL plus about 8-10 DD are up there somewhere near Georgetown or Alor Star. I'm hoping they are stuck for good now.

It's June 1. This seems like just about the time Tojos should appear. I'm wary, but as well prepared as I can be for now. The Hurris and P-38s are flying top CAP at Singers, and the rest are slightly under that, lots of P-40E and P-39D. The IJA is suddenly starting to bomb on Malaya, Sumatra and again in the PI. I think he's recovering from early setbacks in the air and although this is ominous it also provides opportunities to jump some of these runs. For now I'll wait and let AA do some work.

June 2, 1942

Every week or so I get a really good set of bombardments at Johore Baru. Today they're especially good. Nice to not only disrupt and disable to the troops here, but to get some destroyed, forcing even more use of supply to replace those devices.

I hit an xAK near Balikpapan, which tells me there is no CAP there. Got lucky, as I was going for a DD that was harassing my supply drops to Ambon.

The IJA is not having much luck bombing in the PI. Very little impact, although of course the AA guns fire. Still a decent amount of supply there, about 35k total. No fort building, replacements or any extras right now until I see whether I'll actually be able to get close enough to resupply in time.

Minor action on the 3rd. The Japanese continue to bomb bases in Malaya. They also hit a resupply of Bandjermasin, but after the supply got in and only two small 1 VP xAKL are lost.

On Malaya units begin to move toward Kuala Lumpur. I'll hold back on any bombing until Singapore reaches level 9 and I can base everything there.

June 4, 1942

Japanese DDs run in to Batu Palat and splatter a few motor launches and one AM. The also run into the CM Abdiel, the fastest ship on map right now. She was laying minefield, the beginning of an integrated and staunch defence of the straits here. I posted the whole interaction as it's pretty cool that the Allied radar only picked up Japanese forces at 6k yards, but Abdiel then high tailed it out and got away clean.

The RN BBs pound Mersing.

In the day another strike hits Sabang, but no planes are lost on the ground. Good AA here but they don't shoot down any attackers either. Hmm.

June 5, 1942

Today, for the first time, I've tried a sub SST invasion. A portion of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion lands at Beaufort where a few Dutch units had moved through the jungle. Our troops outnumbered the defenders, but couldn't take the base. Now a waiting game, but at least it makes him reinforce and also, hopefully, worry about more of these little commando ops in the future. He should worry!

Troops continue to march toward Kuala Lumpur. No sign of any build-up there or troops moving from Kuantan or elsewhere. The KB is now in full view and something is up around the coasts of Malaya. A lot of TFs around. I'm wary of a move to evacuate troops from Mersing. About 40 subs will converge around the KB. Fingers crossed.

June 6, 1942

Lots of ASW on the 6th. About a dozen encounters with PBs on ASW duty around the KB. No luck getting to the big ladies, as they dodge back a bit. Now all of the subs are converged though, so it'll be easier to get them into the path from any direction that the KB wants to travel. There are also a couple of SCTFs at Kuantan. I don't see any big amphibs. Is he just tempting us to come out to fight? Seems like something more. A bombardment run?

Nothing attacked in China. No air raids. No bombardments. No DAs. I'm interested to see if this is a larger campaign, a probing mission, or just a feint to see my reaction and look for weak points.

Everything is calm in Soviet territory. All units are now back digging in. All bomber groups have moved back to train and reorganise. I'll have to decommission a few groups to fill out the rest since there are no replacements. I can eventually refill them with IL-2.

From the situation shown on the map I would be trying to land troops at Kuantan to march overland and retake the clear hexes on the west side of the peninsula, but I am not sure of his ability to control the air over his troops if he did that.

In Russia, the longer ranged bombers like DBM-3, DBT-3 and T-3 are in short supply but can be used judiciously to hit his bases further back and make him keep CAP over a wider area. He may have better aircraft than the Russians but he has to cover a lot more map.

I really like this little PC. I hadn't noticed before that she carried torpedoes!

The Yarra is a river with good wine country these days. I've visited a few times when back in Melbourne with my Aussie wife. She was amazed that the first time we went I saw a Platypus lolling about in the water. She'd never seen one before!

IIRC in most scenarios the Aussies get at least two of those. They are a little slow to use for a raider, but in the close quarters of the DEI there might be opportunities to use them to hit a transport convoy. I have been keeping mine in a surface combat TF for that purpose.

June 6, 1942

Lots of ASW on the 6th. About a dozen encounters with PBs on ASW duty around the KB. No luck getting to the big ladies, as they dodge back a bit. Now all of the subs are converged though, so it'll be easier to get them into the path from any direction that the KB wants to travel. There are also a couple of SCTFs at Kuantan. I don't see any big amphibs. Is he just tempting us to come out to fight? Seems like something more. A bombardment run?

Nothing attacked in China. No air raids. No bombardments. No DAs. I'm interested to see if this is a larger campaign, a probing mission, or just a feint to see my reaction and look for weak points.

Everything is calm in Soviet territory. All units are now back digging in. All bomber groups have moved back to train and reorganise. I'll have to decommission a few groups to fill out the rest since there are no replacements. I can eventually refill them with IL-2.

From the situation shown on the map I would be trying to land troops at Kuantan to march overland and retake the clear hexes on the west side of the peninsula, but I am not sure of his ability to control the air over his troops if he did that.

I'm going the other way around. I own most of the lower Malyan Peninsula on the Western side now. I'm marching on Kuala Lumpur. If I take that I can march toward Kuantan overland, and since I've got a lot of armor, it'll be hard to catch up if he doesn't have reinforcements already moving. Looks like about 5k troops there now, so I'd guess a regiment and a few base forces, engineers and support.

I'll post some better maps i a few minutes.

In Russia, the longer ranged bombers like DBM-3, DBT-3 and T-3 are in short supply but can be used judiciously to hit his bases further back and make him keep CAP over a wider area. He may have better aircraft than the Russians but he has to cover a lot more map.

He's done well using CAP judiciously over Manchuria. All of the industry is covered. I have hit a lot at night, but I'm wary of the growing power of the Japanese air forces and soon he'll use start sweeping and bombing fields. I can't defend them with fighters, as all MiGs are needed to defend Vlad's industry. So the very good AA will have to do it's best elsewhere.

It's been exciting from the beginning. Ups and dons for both sides, and very few lulls in the fighting. This is a moment where I've decided to consolidate and distribute troops in support of a flurry of moves coming soon. There is a lot happening in the background right now.

Yes this is one of the most interesting aspects; the early Soviet activation.

It may be attributable to a number of successful initiatives that you have played out; on the other hand you simply may have outplayed your opponent by being unpredictable, resourceful, clever.

Being a relative newbie I have never experienced and read very few AARs about the Soviet activation.

Your insights here are actually 'net new' and very fascinating.

As an ammeter historian I imagined "hoards of Commisar lead Brothers in Arms simply rolling across Manchuria, then Korea, then China" in 1942 / 43.

My only frame of reference is Uncle Joe in late 45.

However it appears that the Soviets in 1942 must also demonstrate restraint.

They must have superiority in Armor - even at this early date - but it must be much less concentrated than I imagine. I guess the good stuff is still counter-attacking 20 miles out of Moscow and at Stalin Grad.

They must have superiority in Artillery but as above.

I figured the air war was a draw until the best Migs and Yaks come along.. but again without a frame of reference its hard to understand.

Going to have to play the Japanese side (as I intend / plan) and play around with early Soviet activation and experiment.

The main issue is the game is set up with a constraint that affects the Soviets early by limiting airframe replacements. If war had occurred early, there probably wouldn't be a year where nothing new shows up, but that's what I'm preparing for now. I want to limit MiG use to save them for when they're needed most, in 43.

Most players would probably keep pushing forward right now, but I feel good about what the Soviets have achieved up to now. I also realise that because I've shown a willingness to commit massive forces into the plains NW of Harbin, he has to keep a good garrison there as well as along the line of defence from Rashin on the coast to Kiamuze.

The Soviets have been busy in the background, building forts and fields. Vladivostok just went to a level 9 field, and forts are at 5-6 virtually everywhere. I'm now creating mobile reserves, reorganizing air groups, sending AA to guard industry, and building forts in tough x3 non-base hexes.

I can at any point continue a sporadic night bombing campaign against industry. Already many bases have been whittled away, and he still has to commit air assets here regardless of what I'm doing.

June 7, 1942

The KB continues to dance off the coast of Malaya while some major surface TFs guard Kuantan. I have to think some reinforcement is going on there. It may be too late, as our forces begin to roll into Kuala Lumpur. If I can secure this base then it's only four days until armor could reach and attack at Temuloh. That would cut off the coasts from the center and allow access to Kuantan down the yellow road.

I've got a lead force of about 550 AV of armor and one regiment of the 1st Marine ID. Coming up behind are lots of Aussie armor, an Aussie brigade and a few other smaller arty and other units. About 400 AV. More is still piling in, and a USA ID just reached Perth. It will immediately transfer toward Oosthaven.

The Japanese continue to use their DDs aggressively in the straits. Not much damage at Sabang though ,and there are decent engineers here to patch up the fields. About 200 mines are now laid at both ports blocking exits, and in addition tot he CD guns, that should make escape rather difficult for these ships.

June 8, 1942

We're moving ahead fairly quickly now after Lowpe was snowed out for a bit. The turns are fairly quiet, but I feel like he's preparing for something big. He's keeping the KB in full view and dangerously close to all of the Allied subs. The Kates are taking their toll but subs are all able to quickly get patched up at Singapore and get out again within a week.

Around 550AV of Allied troops have now marched into Kuala Lumpur and will attack tomorrow. I don't know exactly what is here. I'll forgo bombardment because he doesn't know what the Allies have yet either and I don't want a massive air lifted reinforcement or strat move in with more troops. This base is key as it connects the entire SW Malaya rail network and allows a better supply path to Utan Melintang to the North.

Subs miss completely on the KB as it doges back off of the Malaya coastline, but it's now surrounded by converging subs, so maybe tomorrow they'll get lucky.

On the night of the 9th subs did indeed find the KB!

Sculpin couldn't break through the escort screen on the first try, but later did make to find CV Soryu!

No hits though. Too bad. I do think the improved radar upgrades all of the USN boats just got should make them dangerous due to the numbers operating here. Maybe tomorrow.

June 9, 1942

The big news on the day is that the Allies take Kuala Lumpur easily. The Allies lose no squads and wreck the small Thai cavalry battalion defending, plus get a very interesting pursuit from a recce unit all of the way to Temuloh through the jungle!

That creates a potential problem since I don't know what he has waiting there. Lets see if the 48 numbers of this semi-armorer unit can take the hit and hold their ground. All other units will be in hot pursuit along the road system. The first should be there within 3 days. I'd ideally like to take Temuloh to isolate Kuantan from the rest of the Malayan bases. If his block is too much in the x3 territory there I'll change course and move North toward Taiping. I should be able to bring about 1,000 AV of tanks and good infantry toward that base, well supported by engineers, arty and AA.

The KB has moved toward Indochina, possibly retiring to the shadows.

CHINA

Here is a shot (with hexsides shown) of the current situation in China. Pingsiang is under threat from the IJA, the first push since early days. almost all disabled squads int eh Chinese units in this area have recovered, bringing many of them to 400-500 AV. I've filled its eh edges of the base with units to rotate in and out should a combat begin here. The forts are at 4.7 and growing now in this x2 rough hex. Good supply.

One advantage of defending in this location is that he can't bomb an airfield to destroy supply!

MALAYA

Here is what is owned right now on Malaya. A lot of opportunities have just opened up.

Notice also the three 'A' dot bases extending out from Singapore. Some small holding units are heading there now. Base forces are just arriving I can put there to begin building and posting search. I've got a few small Aussie commandos also prepping for Groot Natoena and the other IJ islands off of Singkawang.

Other units are prepping for bases higher up Malaya, so I have to keep tabs on the KB and see if an opportunity arises there. I'd ideally like to invade at Victoria Point and Alor Star simultaneously. Recon shows no guns at Victoria Point, so there can' be much there. Maybe an air HQ and an engineer unit?

Looking good. One thing I've been meaning to ask is why you use a "no escorts bombard" setting on your bombardment TFs.

I've done that usually to maintain some ammo in case they get jumped before heading back to base. In some cases it's also to set them farther out (past escort gun range) and avoid any gun response, possibly mine fields.

For a while I was conserving supply at Singapore and also needed to be aware of all kinds of use, but now, with over 200k in base, I can be less careful.

For the Johore Baru bombardments, since they go through Singapore, I should turn on escorts since there is virtually no chance something will hit them before they reload back at base.

THE PHILIPPINES

In the PI the Japanese have done next to nothing since initial invasions. This means the Allies have maintained supply, have repaired disabled troops and are ready for anything that comes. in fact, this is going to be tough for the Japanese even without resupply. There is 40k supply still on Luzon.

At Malabalay the PI troops held with a 1:6 DA by IJN guard and SNLF units in an initial assault, and now the Japanese are content to bombard and rebuild. This will be a slog if I can keep some supply in those units. I have some airlift opportunities, but I'm just now planning a bigger investment in the Celebes. A base force and Marine defence unit have landed at Macassar, and I'll try to keep sending things up the small yellow roads quietly from there to get closer to both Balikpapan and Mindanao.

I'll aim to get some more in through Kendari too, but that is more closely monitored. I may have to rely on air transport for getting units to some of the farther bases, but that is possible from Macassar now.
