The rain continues. I really wish I knew the weather patterns. In WPE we have a table to provide an idea of what to expect. After ineffectual air strikes, the 12th and 16th armies, supported by the 34 Division, resume their attack on the Chinese Reserve Army at the Changsha rail line. Loses were 3 SPs for each side. The Chinese hold the line.

Operation MO is a success. Port Moresby falls. The Kido Butai steams to blockade Port Vila and draw out the US fleet. San Cristobal is invaded by the 1st Seaborne Regiment (2 SP division) facing no opposition.

The Shoho CVL and an escort carrier group are ready for combat at Nagasaki. They did not move this turn.

No builds this turn. Replacements are set to match incoming production points.

Allied forces take a beating but retain the strategic position. The new Hurricanes are shot up bad losing 4 SPs to 1 however they will do better as their experience grows. India has now held the line for a month straight. This is the first sign of Allied success on the ground.

To relieve pressure, the Chinese 5th Army raids Myitkyina in force to cut the supply road to Japanese held Ledo.

The Chinese Reserve Army endures more bombing and repeated ground attacks. They hold. The weather is helping for now. I want to replace loses and upgrade my front-line troops as a priority. This leaves me with a lot of units at less than half strength. Time will tell if this is smart. I need more Production Points.

The 3rd Bomber group ships from San Diego to Australia

To relieve the 112th Division at Port Vila the Wasp joins her sister carriers 300 miles south of New Caledonia. The taskforce will invite the Japanese 1st Air Fleet to join combat. The enemy must come into land-based bomber range to strike my carriers.

The Indian 3rd Corps is pounded by air strikes before the 25th and 15th armies launch a coordinated attack pushing back the allies. The approach to Dacca is open. However the repeated attacks have reduced effectiveness to below fifty percent for both armies.

The 23rd Brigade turns southeast and races to confront the Chinese incursion at Myitkyina. The Imperial Guards Division moves to protect the airfield north of Mandalay.

Clear weather brings success! The Chinese Reserve Army is pushed off the rail line taking a 5 SP loss. The Japanese 34th Division takes 20% casualties and is pulled from the front. The 16th Army takes a single hit but now is within 100 miles of Changsha.

After sinking four Merchant Marines last turn, the Zuiho CVL taskforce returns to Singapore for resupply. It is unknown what their next mission will be.

The 2nd Naval Air Division relocates from Dili to Surabaya to receive replacements.

The Kido Butai refuels at sea and remains on station blockading Port Vila. The intent is to draw the US fleet into battle. Neither side wants to be ambushed.

The whole defensive line withdrawals 50 miles to the southwest. 1st Corps starts to dig in at Dacca. I want to hold the town for as long as possible. And then retreat another 50 miles to the west side of the rivers which should be an even better defensive position. The goal is to attrit the Japanese war machine as much as possible. But not to lose Calcutta. The battered 3rd Corps is moved to the far left of the line to regroup and take replacements.

The Zuiho CVL taskforce leaves the area. It remains to be seen if it will return to raid convoys or move to another area.

The 11th East African Division steams to India taking advantage of the cover of a rail squall. Madras and Mangalore remain ungarrisoned. This may be a big mistake, but the divisions are needed to prop up the Calcutta front.

With the weather clear the Reserve Army is hit hard by air and ground once again. The unit suffers a 5 SP loss and retreats from the line. Fortunately, all hits are replaced however its effectiveness approaches 50% which will take time to recover.

The Australian 112th Division is in trouble. They are out of supply and will not last too much longer. The US 3rd tactical naval bomber group lands in Tonga to bolster land-based air defense of Fiji.

The US CV taskforce steams east of New Caledonia just out of range of Japanese land-based air on Espirito Santo. They refuel and wait in ambush hoping to draw the IJN 1st Air Fleet away from Port Vila. I may have made another mistake. While the recon is “low” for the US that does not mean its low for Japan. I believe the difference is due to the ownership of nearby islands but don’t know for sure. This means the Kido Butai cannot see my fleet and will not take the bait.

The US builds 3 Landing Ships, 3 Oilers and a MM.

The UK saves PP for a bomber group. Close air support is needed in India. However so is air defense around Ceylon.

The 23rd Brigade and the Imperial Guards move to cut off the Chinese 5th Army at Myitkyina. China can do little more than border raid however I want to ensure Ledo remains cut off. This will eliminate the chance of air supply reaching China.

Supply trucks were sent to the 15th and 25th armies to improve effectiveness and replacements fill the depleted ranks. However, the lack of an attack does allow the Indian 1st Corps to grow stronger.

Recon does not provide enough information on the makeup of the unit in Calcutta. General Yamashita wants to know if this is a headquarters unit or a division. Amphibious operations may be needed to break the line.

The 12th, 13th and 16th armies attack the 33rd army group in the rain on the approach to Changsha. No gains were made. The 1st tactical air group has been flying non-stop missions for weeks. They will be grounded for refit and resupply as their effectiveness is now below 50 percent.

The Zuiho CVL taskforce is refueled in Singapore. They remain a couple of weeks longer to lower oil consumption. As mentioned before, time will tell if I am too worried about Japan’s oil stockpile.

The 1st Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF) is escorted to the New Hebrides Islands for invasion. The Australian 1st RAAF responds but is ineffective. After multiple ground strikes the 1st SNLF hits the beach at Port Vila. The island should fall within a couple of weeks. The plan is to use it as a staging area for air units to support the invasion of New Caledonia.

The lack of an attack on my line allows time for it to grow stronger. The Lahore Division is railed in from Bombay as a reserve. The 11th East African Division lands in Madras. This is a mistake as Bombay is left undefended. The 1st IAF receives more planes and are set to fly CAP missions over the line.

The Chinese 5th Army group retreats across the Yom River back into China. The 4th Army group heads north along the border looking for an opportunity to capture Ledo.

The 33rd Army group comes under attack from 3 Japanese armies in the rain. Casualties are light and no ground is lost. Preattack bombing runs were ineffectual. I need to hold this position but am hesitant to give a “stand your ground” order. The 23rd air group is ready to fly CAP when needed. I want to hold down air losses so they can impact the upcoming battle for Changsha. At some point this rain is going to stop.

I am taking a risk. I don’t want to give up New Caledonia without a fight. I have been doing too much of this lately. The US CV taskforce steams south of Noumea where they are spotted by land-based air on Espirito Santo. The 1st RAAF is put on ready but do not attack the Japanese carriers. I am going for an ambush and want them fresh to attack damaged carriers. The bad news is my force has been spotted and 6 CVs with 3 BBs are close to my position. The next turn should be interesting.

The Australian 112th Division takes the opportunity to slip out of Port Vila and heads to New Castle for refit and resupply. I don’t want to lose a much-needed division trying to save a 20-supply point island.

The US builds a Naval Dive bomber, the 1st Marine Div and 2 landing ships. Plus, a supply truck and an Oiler.

The UK has no builds as they are banking production points. See the screen shot below.

I am worried about defending my oil supply from Sumatra and Borneo. I move the 1st Tactical Air Division from Indochina to Bandar Lampung and refitting for Naval air attack. Training is needed with the new loadout. The 10th Air Division arrives at Batavia to provide CAP in the area. With the 2nd Tactical Air based at Surabaya I feel much better about this defense. But I am unsure how long I can leave this many air assets on station in a non-combat zone.
