Tavoy has no fighters, thanks to torpedoing that transport full of them, so, well, why not:

Morning Air attack on Tavoy , at 54,60

Weather in hex: Moderate rain

Raid spotted at 41 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 11 minutes

Japanese aircraft
Ki-21-IIa Sally x 16

Allied aircraft
no flights

No Japanese losses

Allied aircraft losses
Blenheim I: 23 damaged
Blenheim I: 2 destroyed on ground
Hudson I: 7 damaged
Hudson I: 1 destroyed on ground
B-17F Fortress: 4 damaged

Airbase hits 9
Runway hits 22

This raid really shows what happens when there is no AA present at all.

No Zeroes lost today. Hooray! Can't wait to field my first Oscar Ic squadron (13 planes in the pool, 49 repaired factories with another 18 building.

Zero production is at 74 with 17 building.

Japan has about 1000 political points. Only minor spending to date to swap out some leaders. I am guessing the first unit bought out will be a division, either to stabilize China, or more likely to send to Singapore. Both targeted divisions are in planning.

R&D off to a promising start. With no resizing of squadrons, I probably won't have to build as many naval planes.

how do you get exactly 30 factories on R&D? Is there some shortcut to increase factories by 1 or the like? I always end up with 32 factories due to doubling the existing ones.

On the industry screen click to increase size, and then a button appears to the left of the amount to be increased that will reduce the expansion by 1.

Once the number is correct click to expand factory.

seems like I'm too dumb. I only get the option to "expand" and it always doubles the amount with expand. And I also don't get a button where I can decrease it by 1. Am I in the wrong screen?

You are expanding off the wrong screen link. Start with industry screen and pick a factory to expand.

lol, I must be doing it really wrong. Which industry screen should I use? When I use the one that shows all the factories I don't have an option to expand.

Which shortcut is the screen I should use?

This screen lets you add 1, 10 or double. Very flexible. The on-map industry doesn't have the same choices.

Dec 20th, 1941

The KB escorted the Kuching Invasion in, there were no air attacks on it. I almost sent the KB up to Kuantan to hit the Archimedes CB Task force there, but Archimedes moved from there, and another task force spotted close to Singers with a carrier.

There are a lot of planes at Singapore.

2-1 Attack goes off at Hong Kong, lowering forts to 1. Looking good here.

Kuching has 150av of defenders...we will need to reinforce here.

Miri troops are reducing disruption and fatigue from landing will attack soon.

Manado troops are resting to, will attack again in a day or two.

Chinese troops continue to take losses, IJA routed another corp in the open yesterday, but they have had some successes too, with their aggressive opening attacks. China is no walkover here.

Kuantan is a size four airbase, and would give Japan lots of flexibility.

Victoria Point auto flipped, and the damaged planes there were destroyed. Hoping to do the same thing at Tavoy which now stands empty, but with runway damaged from yesterday's raid at 53% (and there are 21 planes left there).

Tried to sweep Kuantan, but the small Zero squadron didn't fly.

Good day in the air...

5th Carrier Division back in action...they replaced lost planes from the Pearl raid at Truk.

A heavy SAG in re-routed to Babeldaob to counter spotted Allied fleets near Manado.

it's crazy guys, I have been playing thousands of IJ turns in the last 16 years and I had no clue where to find this screen. Never seen it before.

You know, I think I need to try to forget how to upgrade factories. Then I might be able to learn how to take Karachi!

KB looks to provide cover for a quick invasion of Kuantan.

Lots of air attacks on KB, escorted by Hurricanes. None hit.

Archimedes is missing...

What's the best hurricane counter in 42 (aside from blowing them up on ships/airfields)? Tojo IIa?

The A6M3a is good matchup too. The Tony is armored and pretty fast, but SR3 and weak guns. Still, I would put them up against Hurricanes at least defensively.

Four more air attacks on 5th Carrier Division -- no hits.

A CL SAG raids into Rabaul and sinks the xAP Taroona with a Long Lance attack before being spotted.
