� The convoy with the Bde for Victoria Point is sheading to Rangoon to top up on supply.

� Some of or fleet carrier TF's are really getting beat up by time at sea. Two TF will withdraw to Manus, where there is a Fleet Adv Base Force, a Fleet HQ, and a size 7 port. Hopefully we can get system damage back down to practical operational levels. A bunch of surface combatants will require attention soo too.

� The rest of the fleet will head back into the South China Sea, again mostly as a deterrent and annoyance to the Empire.

China

� Atago would have been a nice prize.

Considering the altitude of his CAP, maybe try 2000 feet next. Especially at Gifu which is not heavily built up but with lots of factories. Not being build up really lessens the chances of balloons.

Hmmm - at Truk the Japanese got -disruption and -supply, and their raw AV was roughly 1/3 of yours. With the forts dropped one level and their supply/disruption issues worse than ever, I think a shock attack by all your units would carry the day. Your guys can recover their disablements after the Naval Fortress is destroyed and you own the base.

Your call of course - higher disruption on your units at the end of that turn might mean higher numbers of destroyed squads in a shock attack too.

We only attacked with 2 divisions and 1 tank Bn, so the raw AV shown for our side was misleading (it always shows all AV, IIRC).

Next turn is away and we are attacking with 1 division and 1 Eng Rgt.

A shock attack would do it, but I would only do that with rested units. I'm not pressed for one or two days here anyway, especially if it means the units don't need a bunch of extra days to recover.

We'll see how things look next turn.

� 131 AV ashore in good order at Victoria Point. Assault tomorrow.

� 439 AV at Prachuap Khiri Khan and the troops are still in good order. The attack continues tomorrow.

� 2,382 AV at Bangkok. Disablements were high but fortifications were reduced. The troops will take time to recover, Disruption is very high. Air support for the assault was slaughtered. When Bangkok is captured, any AA weapons captured will be sent back to Q Branch for study.

� 1,797 AV at Vinh. Disruption too high to attack. We now have 4 artillery Rgts present (2 were present for the last attack).

� With the first base force in place, we will begin recon out of Kratie.

� The fleet will move westward 5 hexes to a point 2 hexes SW of Cam Ranh Bay. Some of the surface groups are really hurting so we must withdraw soon.

Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia

Congrats on taking Truk!

Surprised the Naval Fortress did not show as a destroyed unit since there were 93 enemy guns destroyed. I guess the gun crews grabbed their bore-cleaning poles and set out to become foot soldiers with lances (if they can sharpen them).

Doesn't that message about "unable to supply air cover" refer to your carriers not supporting the Liberators?

Tough assault at Bangkok - hopefully the enemy will suffer shortages now that you are on the rail line at PKK. As for the AA units going to Q, I think Q is already working on laser AA for his next Aston-Martin mod. M told me when I got her drunk one night.

� 1,720 AV at Vinh. The troops will rest. Good result, but the Aus 12th Bde must withdraw for extensive recovery.

� 419 AV at Prachuap Khiri Khan. The assault will continue but the Eng Bn and the armored car Rgt are done.

� 2,509 AV at Bangkok, assault tomorrow.

� 127 AV at Victoria Point. Assault tomorrow.

� With the building of Ayuthia and the building of intermediate bases to supply Ayuthia (Rahaeng, Uttaradit, Pisanuloke) the supply situation in the interior is steadily improving. There is still an all-asset air transport effort moving supplies.

Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia

� Look at the second combat. Those were the air supremacy version of the Superfort.

� Although we gave better than we got, we lost 10x B-29's today.

� The B-29's will stand down to increase the number ready.

Sweet, you got some damage on that fully repaired Shinden factory.

You might want to look around for a potential daytime target. Even if it is a much smaller base, you can still core good destruction with targeted bombing and cause Japan to stretch their fighters even more.

If you are going to bomb any specific factories, I suggest that you bomb the factories showing as size 31. They are probably research factories, if they are damaged they won't research so chances are that they would get repaired yet that will cost supplies. This also delays the production of those late war airframes.

The game also adds 1 to the reported count of factories, so the total count for each industrial factory type should be reduced by one. The 31 count factories are in fact 30 count - as expected with optimization.
