Ok Halsey....you asked you got This is a mod of the GC with me as the Liberators and Ron as the Imperialist Devils using 2 day turns. Getting more practice as Japan GC lately than i've wanted. It aint easy being cheesy but i'm almost starting to get a hang on this monster of Turn 1 start. House rules we agreed to include, limited allied movement/orders Turn 1 in exchange for a fairly conservative Japanese turn 1 (which i do anyway...hell i'm still refining a decent turn 1 period) No night bombing save for night specific units, no sub troop landings (Ron wanted to be able to evac cadres though), Reasonable TF/ASW TF sizes and no insta evac of Dutch units (to represent the political situation) My plans for the liberation of Asia are conservative but refined. My last PBEM was interesting in that I tried a radically different strategy..some of it was good, some bad. Biggest bad point was that I attempted to much at the same time and over extended myself, conducting ops not only in Malaya, PI and Borneo but also the Solomons (Rabaul) and an invasion of Burma all at the same time. The Rabaul op eventually turned into target practice once my opponent learned I was weak there and while I did in fact occupy most of Burma and cut the Burma road...my thrust at Akyab was defeated and I was too weak to take Lashio and Mytk in the NE part of the country with air superiority in Allied hands. The most interesting part though was my decision to invade the PI's along a time table similar to the actual Japanese plan, only reinforcing the historical LCU's with a few regimental/BN sized support units instead of the usual massive reinforcement most players preferred. The result was a situaiton very similar to RL where the Japanese ended up seiging the Allies along a triangle defense of Clark , Ling. Bay and Bataan with the two sides being fairly equal with neither strong enough to defeat the other. Meanwhile the divisions usually sent to the PI instead launched Phase II of the SEI occupation and swept into Kendar, SE Borneo and Timor, ending with a divisional landing in Southern Java....All this while operations in Malaya and PI continued. An interesting and not entirely unsuccessful variation but one that required careful management. Here....Imperial HQ has decided to be more conservative and ensure that operations are conducted with enough supporting aircover and sea cover to ensure a quick and steady advance. I did opt for one bold move....adding Kuantan in Malaya to my list of turn 1 invasions along with the typical landing at KB. Purpose being to establish a better located base for the 5th Air Division to operate from ensuring better air coverage once established. The risky part was that such a landing would be dangerously close to Singapore and other supporting airfields allowing both LB and torpedo aircraft to operate against my surface forces mostly bereft of aircover until a base could be captured. This was a risky gamble for me given that even having landed at KB in my last game, my opponent made life very difficult for me using the RAF with many ships damaged. Here the risk would be greater but so would the rewards. Operations elsewhere would fall within a fairly typical and conservative pattern though the PI invasion would be heavily reinforced by followup units in order to quickly secure this hotbed of Angry Americans led by a Canadian general known for his boozing and shouting at subordinates. let the liberation begin!!!!

All landing operations have successfully concluded and Imperial forces everywhere are advancing. Little sign so far of enemy naval resistance other than a few isolated submarine attacks and some PT forays, nothing our brave boys cant handle. Soon phase II of our glorious liberation shall begin. Inteligence reports indicate that the boozer Canadian commanding the American forces in the Philippines attempted to slip away by PT boat. Unfortunately for his staff, the General decided that he was best qualified to pilot the boat and in his drunken state sailed too far south where our brave Zero pilots then proceeded to use him for target practice. As last reported the enemy general could be seen zig zagging wildly...throwing beer to try to put out the fires and shouting something about ASW.... More news and maybe a few pics to follow. Stay tuned and look for Co-Prosperity at an island near you!
