CarDiv2 makes its presence felt near Madras. Having not been seen, the enhanced carrier division appears within strike range of Madras and finds a host of Allied shipping.

No planes fly in the morning (CRAP!!!) but an afternoon strike (42 Zero and 24 Val) sinks two small TK and PC while the major blow falls on Madras with 26 Zero and 76 Kates hitting the Port. Nine AK and 1 AKL are smacked. No Japanese planes are lost.

Indian Ocean

Japanese Raiding TFs ply the sea seeking prey. At Jaffna a CA and 3 DD find and sink an AKL and AK.

China
Kweilin is Shock Attacked and just barely holds on in the face of a 3-1 assault dropping Forts to 0.

Luichow is hit the same day yielding another 3-1 dropping Forts to 2.

Status: offline 		This is a turn where Dai Nippon strikes anywhere and everywhere on the board.

Indian Ocean
Over in the IO multiple STF bag shipping from Madras to the tip of Ceylon. Two STF sink a pair of AKs and another pair of AKLs. CarDIv2 backs slightly eastward towards Akyab but remains poised to lunged.

Tahiti Region
Regular comings and goings are interrupted by several Japanese STF. About five hexes NE of Tahiti a CA-CL-DD TF sinks an AO and PC. Nearly 200 miles north of that, a lone Japanese DD attacks three large AKs hitting them 9--11--13 times before running out of ammo and heading home. The big show is 5 hexes SE of Tahiti where a Raiding TF of 3 AMC and a DD run smack dab into the American carrier Yorktown! AMC vs. true warships is never a good thing. An AMC is sunk during the fight and then two more are crippled by Helldiver DB in the afternoon phase. Bet Paul had a small heart attack here!

Penrhyn Island is captured by an SNLF unit and in its surrender, a squadron of PBYs is destroyed. Good work!

Port Moresby
The reason for KB hanging around for so blasted long manifests itself as an Invasion TF appears. Prior to the landing starting the afternoon, three BC BLAST PM causing 772 Casualties and knocking out 22 Guns: NICE! Port and AF hit hard as well. The Landing occurs bringing in an ID, Brigade, and Engineering unit. An Aussie Brigade and six-seven other units hold here. Shouldn't take too long...

China
Kweilin is taken by a 2-1 Shock Attack inflicting over 6,100 Casualties upon the Chinese.
Liuchow falls as well to 4-1 Shock Attack yielding 5,100 more Chinese Casualties.

Nice little twin victories there!


Very busy day for Japan.

That is certainly true. Couldn't understand why soooo many people were commenting on his AAR while we were going back-and-forth. Good psy-ops there.

Bigred--We laid this match on so quickly, should we talk about House Rules? We haven't and I was thinking about it so thought I should ask. With us doing this AAR with both of us commenting, it seemed a reasonable place to bring it up.

Status: offline 		Concerning house rules on further reflection, my last game with FatR was a "No rules" game. He did throw the kitchen sink at me. I also note this mod is designed by John3rd with alot of extra toys for japan. I am inclined to give this mod a test run.

I see some allied CVL/BC additions. In a no rules game I recognize the Kwantung army is put into Jap play in china, of course the allies have some reactions to this development.

I am inclined to go forward as is.

Probably more sneaky, since most N. Vietnamese solders had never seen a toilet.

Decided to do some research. About three times as many xAK. Part of a plan to slow down allied mid game?

Most are in the form of 'at start' ships in greater So Pacific Ocean area. Look and compare the replacement rate of Allied airframes, especially fighter numbers. You should not have to suffer with low number of recon planes in '42 and beyond. Your daily PP has increased and I think we found the sweet spot there.
