However, there are some rumors seen on the main forum that the shogun Pauk is incompetent. We believe that Jamie Oliver look a alike creature is responsible for such disgusting lies.

Speedysteve -> 13th October 1943 (8/15/2006 7:17:47 PM)

Hi all,

Little of interest happened on the 12th.

--------------

The 13th was also quiet with only a FB raid on 16th IJA Division positions possible in Burma.

--------------

SS Thresher and evaded 2 x PC 240 miles SE of Hong Kong.

SS Silversides blew up AK Awazisan Maru with 2 x torpedoes 120 miles NW of Jesselton.

--------------

My CV's should reach Baker Island tomorrow.

2 x AK, 1 x SC, 2 x DE and an SS arrive in theatre tomorrow.



Speedysteve -> 14th October 1943 (8/17/2006 9:48:49 PM)

Hi all,

Well all CV divisions are back at Baker Island. CV Division 4 (Bunker Hill/Intrepid et al) are moving back to PH for repair. The others are refuelling, taking on munitions and replacement planes and pilots. Tomorrow we leave with 4 x BB divisions to attack the Marshalls again.

In due course i'll list the LCU's involved in the upcoming attack. Exact invasion locations may vary according to upcoming recon.

--------------

Rangoon was attacked again and 1/2 the oil production was damaged.

--------------

My subs performed well today.

SS Mingo sank ML Hatsutaka 60 miles NE of Lautem, Timor with 2 x torpedo.

SS Skipjack evaded 4 x MSW escort NW of San Marcelino.

SS Shark II missed AK Bisaku Maru with 6 torpedoes 420 miles east of Saipan en route back to Midway.

SS Hake evaded PC/MSW/DD escorts and sank TK Sanraku Maru with 2 torpedoes 120 miles south of Okinawa.

SS Herring hit SS Fujinami but the torpedoes failed to detonate 60 miles NW of Tori Shima.

--------------

3 x AK arrive in thatre tomorrow.

Here's the top air losses to date:

How badly did those CV's of yours end up being dinked?



Speedysteve -> RE: 14th October 1943 (8/17/2006 9:55:53 PM)

Not too bad at all mate:

CV Bunker hill - 20/0/0
CV Intrepid - 28/15/0



Terminus -> RE: 14th October 1943 (8/17/2006 9:57:27 PM)

Oh, shouldn't be in the shop for long then...[:)]



Onime No Kyo -> RE: 14th October 1943 (8/18/2006 3:49:44 PM)

I think you can get some medical $ off that Intrepid thing, if youre willing to spend the time. The Bunker looks to be a light fender-bender. I hate it when those happen. By the time your done paying the deductable, Youre wondering WTH you pay for full coverage in the first place. [;)]



Speedysteve -> 15th October 1943 (8/18/2006 9:27:12 PM)

Hi all,

What a good day for my submariners:

It started badly though.....SS Dace was heavily damaged and has flooded compartment after a thorough working over by 5 x IJN DD's 180 miles SE of Hong Kong. She is to return to Darwin.

SS Silversides attacked a convoy twice in the night. Firstly missing TK Ichiyo Maru and then an hour later severely the oil laden Tanker with a torpedo amidships 120 miles NE of Jesselton.

SS Hake surfaced and blew up the freighter Bushu Maru 240 miles WSW of Okinawa with 3 torpedo hits and gunfire.

SS S-35 sank AK Huzikawa Maru with 2 torpedo hits in the bow in the lower Kuriles.

SS Crevalle sank the emtpy transport Syoka Maru with 5 torpedo hits over 2 attacks 300 miles north of Truk.

Well done lads[:)]

---------------

Apamama has a level 4 airfield now. 3 x PV1 Squadrons have flown in to bomb supply and troop positions on Tarawa.

An AK, AP and DE arrive in theatre tomorrow.

Here's an update of Burma and China showing the stalemate on the ground. I dominate the air though:

Speedysteve -> 16th October 1943 (8/18/2006 11:07:52 PM)

Hi all,

Over 10,000 hits. Thankyou to those who read[&o][8D]

-----------------

Well the fleet has been ordered to leave Baker Island again tomorrow. 3 x CV Divisions + 4 x BB Divisions (10 x BB) are to proceed towards the Marshalls and bomb and shell the sh*t out of the place. Specifically Maloelap and Kwajalein which appear to be the local fortresses.

-----------------

SS Amberjack evaded 5 x IJN DD west of Tori Shima.

SS Muskallunge sank the troop laden AP Shoun Maru with 2 torpedoes 240 miles west of Tori Shima.

SS Seadragon missed freighter Oregon Maru with 4 torpedoes ofF SW Borneo.

SS Skate was lightly damaged by a near miss bomb dropped from a Sally SE of Iwo Jima. She is relocating further south.

------------------

Interesting intel:

IGD is now at PALAU NOT WAKE.

2nd Division is on its way to Tarkan.

------------------

Rangoon's oil and resource production have been heavily disrupted from Imphal. Next target is Moulmein's resources.

------------------

SS Darter, SS Rock and an AK arrive in theatre tomorrow.

Speedysteve -> 17th October 1943 (8/19/2006 9:11:14 AM)

Hi all,

I'm looking forward to the prospect of more action in the Marshalls soon. Tomorrow I will post a current breakdown of my CV and BB Divisions. A quick update on timelines I will probably be invaded 2 locations (1 decided, 1 un-decided as yet) over the next 4-5 weeks.

-----------------

A mixed day in the submarine war.

Faber's increased air search hits 3 submarines. Pompon and Drum are to return to Darwin with moderate damage. Corvina is fine and is to relocate from Hong Kong area nearer to Camranh Bay.

The good parts:

SS Tunny sank AK Lyons Maru with 2 torpedoes 120 miles east of Tarakan.

SS Muskallunge scored her 2nd AP kill in 2 days by sinking the empty transport Tainichi Maru. The ship blew up after its magazines were detonated.

SS Silversides sank AK Hoeisan Maru after 2 hits in 2 separate attacks 120 miles NE of Jesselton.

SS Herring hit tanker Jinei with a torpedo near Iwo Jima.

-----------------

The usual bombing raids against IJA troops positions in Burma and China.

-----------------

2 x AK arrive tomorrow as do an SBD and a F4U Squadron.



Speedysteve -> 18th October 1943 (8/19/2006 12:16:15 PM)

Hi all,

And we near to further action in the Marshalls...........

-------------

SS Hackelback spotted and avoided 4 x ASW vessels 480 miles south of Guam.

SS Gar hit DD Mochizuki with 4 duds 120 miles east of Tori Shima[:-]

SS Escolar was heavily damaged during a 2 hour hunt by 5 x IJN DD's SW of Tori Shima. She is to return to Midway.

SS Rasher hit DD Akikaze with 4 duds west of Jolo[:-][8|]

SS Herring avoided a couple of light ASW vessels and succeeded in damaging AK Hoki Maru with a torpedo NW of the Bonin's.

SS Hake blew up the oil laden tanker Tennan Maru with 2 torpedoes. A huge explosion followed the 2nd torpedo hit leaving little remnants of the small tanker. This took place 240 miles ESE of Batan Island.

SS Tuna avoided an MSW west of Bataan.

SS Tinosa hit AK Azuchisan Maru with a torpedo 240 miles east of Legaspi.

-------------------

An SBD squadron flew into Makin and Apamama today to offer 'anti shipping service'.

-------------------

Here's the breakdown of the current Marshalls force:

TF1013 - CV Lexington/Saratoga/CVL Princeton
TF1044 - CV Enterprise/Hornet/CVL Bellau Wood/Cowpens
TF1050 - CV Essex/Wasp/CVL Monterey/Cabot

TF1099 - BB West Virginia/Nevada
TF1100 - BB North Carolina/Washington/Alabama
TF1101 - BB Idaho/New Mexico
TF1102 - BB South Dakota/Indiana/Massachussetts

The map below shows their current position. I'm sending out FP's to recon every base en route. Important to get an assessment before finalising my invasions.

Speedysteve -> 19th October 1943 (8/20/2006 12:57:51 AM)

Hi all,

A day of bad wather across the Pacific prevented any recon or offensive raids by my CV's or by many airfields across Burma.

Unfortuinately mine's are not subject to weather conditions and as my fleets were passing Mili en route to Kwajalein DD Pringle felt and heard a loud explosion in it's port bow area....it had hit a mine....damage is slight though - 20/18/7

---------------

SS Tuna performed a great attack today. She sank AO Shiretoko with 3 torpedo hits out of 6....1 in the bow, 1 amidships, 1 in the stern. This occured 180 miles west of Bataan. Well done lads.

SS Pargo avoided a HK group 120 miles NW of The Bonins.

---------------

2 x AK arrive in theatre tomorrow as does the 5307th US RCT in Karachi



Speedysteve -> 20th October 1943 (8/20/2006 10:31:51 AM)

Hi all,

Well my battlegroups have reached the target point 180 miles SE of Kwajalein. Today scouts were sent out to try and find any shipping.....not a soul was found. Recon of the surrounding islands indicated only Maloelap, Jaluit and Kwajaelin are occupied. I have formulated a plan...............

Tomorrow Kwajalein will be subjected to a huge air bombardment, weather permitting. Also 2 x BB divisions will hit the place at night and 2 more will hit Maloelap..

------------------

An old S-Boat hat success today. Patrolling in a storm 180 miles south of Tarakan her radar picked up a small convoy approaching from the east. She surfaced, had a peak and managed to let loose 4 torpedoes at an AK before being spotted. 1 hit the side of AK Pacific Maru. S-38 dived and escaped before the pathetic escort could locate her.

SS Batfish evaded an MSW 180 miles west of Manila.

------------------

Tomorrow my Darwin heavies have been ordered to bomb Kendari's airfields for the first time in weeks.

------------------

With the situation as it is in the Marshalls I will probably sail my transport within 1-2 weeks.

------------------

CVE Anzio arrives in theatre tomorrow as does an AK and DE.



Speedysteve -> 21st October 1943 (8/20/2006 11:56:42 AM)

Hi all,

Well Kwajalein and Maloelap were bombarded from sea and air. Not all went as planned though.....mines[:@]

The following ships struck a mine:

CL Honolulu
CL Columbia
DD Converse
DD Laffey
DD Strong

None of them should sink but still require yard time.

The good news though is that both places suffered substantial damage with regard to supply dumps, support troop losses etc. All helps and will make the upcoming invasions easier, hopefully.

During the day 360 bombers pounded Kwajalein destroying several supply dumps and 16 enemy planes on the ground.

BB Divisions have been ordered to bombard Maloelap and Jaluit before retiring to Baker Island.

CV Divisions will move 60 miles SE and target Maloelap tomorrow before leaving also.

------------------

The Kendari raid was quite successful too. 80 enemy fighters were on CAP but my heavily armoured planes performed well. They lost 22 planes but shot down more of the enemy and torched 10's of planes on the ground. We fly again tomorrow.

------------------

Subs...........

SS Permit let me down when she missed ML Aotaka 240 miles south of Truk.

SS Cero missed TK Chiyoda Maru 180 miles SW of Davao.

SS Porpoise missed TK San Diego Maru 240 miles north of Pagan.

Then things got better............

SS Scamp probably sank AO Sata with 2 torpedo hits 120 miles SE of Davao. She then made up for Cero's failure by putting 2 fish into Chiyoda Maru.

SS Thesher probably sank AK Nitiyo Maru with 2 torpedoes 300 miles south of Hong Kong.

SS Corvina and SS Finback both evaded enemy ASW vessels in the SRA.

-----------------

3 x AK and a DE arrive in theatre tomorrow as does a Corsair Squadron.

castor troy -> RE: 21st October 1943 (8/20/2006 12:54:49 PM)

Every update of your AAR amazes me! Your subs are scoring like mad it seems! [X(][X(][X(] Never seen such success before. Why isnīt Faber strenghtening his ASW efforts? I donīt think about hundreds of Sallies or Helens as this is a bit strange for me but changing his convoy and ASW tactics. To me it seems he has far too many TFs around, he better would concentrate his ships. Of course you suffer losses against US subs but I had never such huge problems as Japanese.

Like your subs are performing they will win the war alone! [&o]



Speedysteve -> 22nd October 1943 (8/20/2006 1:51:44 PM)

Hi all,

Hi Castor - Faber has strengthed his ASW efforts. I assume people have given him advice in this area. He now has a LOT more squadrons on ptrol. A lot more of my subs are spotted/attacked from the air. I would say in the past month 5 have been hit by planes.

He also has 4-5 ASW HK groups that I know off searching for my subs.

95% of his convoys do have escorts - DD/MSW/PC/PG.

This is how I view the situation:

I am showing what CAN be done with submarines that are:

1. Placed in the right spots.
2. Upgraded with SJ Radar.
3. EXPERIENCED. I think this is one of the keys for me here. Through so many attacks and patrols my submarines are in the 70's/80's experience. I believe this is giving them a greater chance of attacking, hitting and evading his escorts in conjunction with SJ Radar.
4. Constantly on the move.

I do think submarine warfare is one of my best qualities at WiTP play. Faber has improved his ASW efforts but it just means I pay even more attention to placing and moving my submarines. Sure some will get caught by air and sea ASW but I still believe I will score. More and more subs are coming off the line as well which I like[;)][8D]

I do agree though in that his resouce/oil gathering convoys could be grouped/massed a little more. Other than providing huge DD escort i'm not sure what else he could do.

-----------------

You have cursed me today Castor - 2 sub attacks on TK's both missed[;)]

TK San Diego leads a charmed life after beng missed again. This time by SS Jack 120 miles north of Pagan.

SS Tuna missed TK Kuremente Maru 120 miles west of Bataan.

SS Batfish evaded 4 x MSW 60 miles NW of Bataan.

-----------------

Both Maloelap and Jaluit were bombarded in the night with poor results. DD Nicholson hit a mine (will be fine).

Maloelap was hit by 340 bombers in the day.

All forces are retiring now back to Baker to get ready for the invasion........

-----------------

Kendari was hit again but this time the results were not as good. I lost 35 planes to Faber's 40 (mainly on the ground).

-----------------

3 x AK, 3 x LST and 2 x DE arrive in theatre tomorrow as does 2nd USA Prov Tank Bn
