Coach Z -> RE: July 6th, 1942 (3/29/2008 8:31:11 PM)
July 7th, 1942 The Aussie 2nd Infantry retreats back into Darwin! (Drat I was hoping to attack him again) Allied 4E bombers beginning to show up in #s; 2 decent sized raids todays and we know he has another 48 B-24s in North Eastern Australia. The USS Chicago is finally sunk! The damn thing has survived over 20 x 250 kg bomb hits plus an 18 inch torpedo! Strange Air Raids @ La Foa! Our bombers attack an EAB unit, ignoring the whole US Infantry Div, the fragment (like a third strength) US Inf. Div, NZ Infantry Bge, and a Tank Bn located there....very strange....I was thinking Floyd had buggd out to Noumea. But our ground attack went well there so whatever! Although Floyd would think I'm crying I am disppointed that many of his AKs and APs fleeing Noumea are getting away!

The effect of those bombardments has to be adding to his disruption which will lower his AV and hopefully counter some of the Fort multipliers. The question is to try an Attack before the other unit hits the beaches [still 2 days out] or to wait till it unloads which will delay everything several days.

In the post before, was that too much Info all at once? I don't know if people like having all the details. If not.... to add to the details-the 16th ARMY in the Hex outside of Dariwn consists of 2 Infantry Divisions, 2 Tank Regiments (one really chewed up), a Field Artillry Rgt, a Mortar Bn (mostly disabled), and an Engineer Rgt. At Wyndham I have a bunch of BaseForces, two AA Artillery Bns, and a small NLF.

Coach Z -> RE: JULY 10th 1942 (4/8/2008 3:08:44 AM)
Northern Front Well he really beat the crap out of me at Adak Iskand. My PT Boats didnt get involved and his cruisers ripped my transports to shreds! Then his B-26's did some damage as well. I was trying to withdraw the 7th Division and just leave the BaseForce for now, in case he invades with the 1st USMC Division which he had @ Dutch Harbor. I didn't think the 7th with the small amount of supply at Adak and only 1 Fort, could hold off a Full USMC Div supported by the bombardments he could make from Dutch Harbor-back-in-forth w/o an air attacks (I think he had 2 BBs-North Carolina as well as the Mississippi- plus all those Cruisers up there). I am moving more supply to Attu and from there I have an "Air Bridge" to Adak. I may try to sneak a small AK in to Adak under cover the HIYO's TF. Perhaps he'll send out the Hornet and the Wasp but only time will tell. Central Pacific Still alot of nothing! The main activity seems to be sweeping the mines laid by his subs. I still have a datai of A6M2's & NELLs @ Kwajalein who have yet to get involved in ANY action! I was keeping them there in case he makes any raids while my carriers were away....actually I just removed a Chutai of NELLs from there a few days ago. Perhaps I'll rotate these guys in to the mix in the SoPac region and send some other units to replace them (I'm sure their 80 experience would be welocmed down there). Southern Pacific Slowly I move down the island of New Caledonia. Well it looks like Floyd is commited to defending La Foa, a forward defense of Noumea; thats fine with me. Hopefully tomorrow the 21st MIXED Bge will enter La Foa and I'll look to make some major attacks there. When the 4th Infantry Division arrives I am hoping to have made some headway against him (seeing AV #s falling); if that occurs I'll send my Cruisers to bombard and launch a Shock Attack with the pursue option on! I hope I'll be able to chase him into Noumea which will increase his disruption and fatigue. I can only guess he's increased the Fort Level at Noumea to 5 or 6 by now, and if this operation takes too long he may get that to 9! Getting stuck at Koumac by that darned Engineer unit (which held off a PARA Rgt & a Yok SNLF PARA Bn for 3 days) simply killed my chance of a quick campaign. OZ I got some revenge by sending a CL and several DD to attack a group of AKs unloading at Broome. But though several sunk, I was not informed what unit ...i.e. I got no TF# is rescuing men from the blah-blah-blah Division. So does that mean I only sunk AKs holding Supplies? I did get messages that there were several casualties both from the Naval Combat and from the subsequent Air Attacks from the JUNYO's air wing. In any case I have several heavy cruisers heading towards Derby and after they bombard Derby perhaps they will head to Broome to engage those transports. Our base AVs are very similar at Derby so I am counting on the other TANK Rgt and SNLF arriving today (since they are both @ 60 anyway!). The majority of the 4th MIXED Rgt will take 2 days to enter and after they enter the main assault will begin with the landing of PARATROOPERS! In Darwin the 35th Bge will enter the hex south of Darwin and give me the strength to Shock that Division and pursue it back in to Darwin. Which will also cut off the fragment of the Darwin Defense Bge playing in the jungle west of the city. CHINA I have finally surrounded Ichang. I will make another bombardment attack or two and then try to assault the city when the 2 Divisions I 've been holding out arrive (tomorrow or the next day). Hopefully we can get the level of those darn fortifications down a level! BURMA Well looks like the Battle of Myatinkia will start soon. I don't think he can realistically take it. The Chinese troops have to cross the river and auto shock against the Division, Brigade, BaseForce, & Mt. Gun Rgt there; who not only receive the river benefits-but those for jungle and several levels of Fortifications as well. I am currently trying to conserve much of my air strength to pound his units when the ground combat is joined.

ground losses: 47 casualties reported Guns lost 1 TURN NOTES: Well his Cruisers returned to Adak Island and finished off most of my damaged APs. They also destroyed the PG that was there to escort them home and the PT Boats that were there as well. I didn’t even attempt one salvo! Not one…and the PT Boats were in torpedo range throughout their entire combat, oh well – that sucked. All I wanted was for one of his cruisers to take a ‘fish’ then the NELLS or the Carrier planes would have a chance to finish her off and make him pay a little. On a positive in Burma, my TOJOs made him pay in their air over Mandalay. Not only did the TOJOS, ZEROS, OSCARS shot down some and damage a bunch, they turned the whole raid back. While the combat results said 6 Liberators were destroyed on the Air Loses screen I see 7 destroyed in Air-to-Air (BANZAI!). Also the 15th ARMY HQ has arrived in Myitkyina and WOW did it drag supply with it! More suuply at that base more then tripled! I think I have over 700 AV there plus a level 3 Fort (and building) in a woods hex. I don’t see how he’s going to be able to dislodge me from there. His Chinese units will be penalized due to crossing the river, and now I think I have enough supply to fend off the British and Indian Forces from Ledo. In OZ more troops move into Derby and I think that my major assault is only a few days away. Although I may have to accelerate that due to the fact that I have no idea how many troops he has unloaded at Broome. Since those AKs came from India, I can only guess that it’s a UK or Indian Infantry Division…but maybe its more. The squadron of FULMARS my raid over Broome met were original based on the HMS Illustrious…does that mean that she is among the Cruisers I spotted in a TF at Broome (as we know carriers are often mistaken for cruisers). I hope my “Paratroopers” can hold off the 632nd Tank Destroyer Battalion for one more day, because tomorrow they will be strongly reinforced! In New Caledonia my advance down the island has slowed to a crawl; the 21st Mixed Brigade seems forever frozen – 2 days, while the 4th Infantry Division moved all of 2 miles yesterday. I’ll be patient for one more day and then if they do not arrive I may try to assault the Allied lines w/o them In the Home Islands I have miscalculated and now need to rush oil to feed my industries. I was trying to create a few mega TF’s but I don’t have the reserves to organize that yet, maybe next month.

Coach Z -> Derby on July 11th (4/13/2008 5:07:02 PM)
Hopefully all these troops plus the rest of the 4th Mixed Rgt will be able to take Derby, before whatever troops he landed from India at Broome can make a difference. But don't worry I still have some tricks up my sleave. Driving me crazy that those BETTY Datais (Naval Attack with 40% Naval Search) on Java haven't really done a good job on the TFs he's had steam past Java to Australia.

Coach Z -> RE: JULY 12, 1942 (4/22/2008 5:12:20 PM)
Turn notes Form July 12th: Well we found the other two British Battleships! I think 4 x 18 in. torpedoes will knock the Ramillies out of action, but the Resolution only took one, and the combat report did not mention her even being on fire. Funny I was thinking I'd find the Illustrious after the encounter with those Fulmars [861 Squadron], but she escaped unnnoticed (again). I had a CL and 6 DDs rearmed and heading for Broome to finish off those Aks and possibly look around for the Illustrious, now they will simply bombard Derby. At Derby the opening round of battles turned in my favor as we reduced his forts to a level 2. Today we will drop the 2nd PARA RGT into the assault on Derby! The rest of the troops will assault as well and perhaps we can take the city today....I doubt it, just hopping to reduce his forts another level. Outside Darwin, he moved the 2nd Aussie Tank Rgt to join the 5th Aussie Inf Div. The road to Wyndham is still opened and the 48th Division and another Tank Rgt are arriving to reinforce this mess. I was very dissappointed with my attack on his forces and we have to wait a few days. Delay, delay, delay-allows his reinforcements coming from Western and Southern Australia to get closer. In China another attack @Ichang failed. I guess being surrounded for a few days didnt really matter much. I just cant believe that in all that attacks I've made there, and with all the Engineer Squads I have there, I am yet to reduce the level of his forts. Floyd has moved a couple of units into Canton, I am going to Shock Attack him out! Still waiting for his attack in Burma. I may launch a little aerial attack of my own in the next few turns to try and reduce the effectiveness of his forward air bases. I had removed several Heavy Bomber Sentais to Bangkok & Saigion, they will now begin to return and then we will hopefully destroy alot of Commonwealth planes on the ground. Things in the South Pacific are moving along slowly-like everything else (lol). The 21st Mixed Brigade after being stuck @ 60 miles marched for a couple of days, has decided to join the attacking troops at La Foa. With their addition I will try a Deliberate Assualt against the American-New Zealand line. Bombers from Luganville hit Efate hard, destroying 11 B-17's on the ground! We will try to hit Efate again before turning our attention back to Noumea. A Marine squadron of SBD's attempted to attack Nagumo's carriers, but over 50+ ZEROs on Cap took care of them.

Derby has fallen and the advance on Broome begins! SNLF forces will land tomorrow followed by more troops and several Naval Bombardments! Perhaps we can take Broome before his troops retreat back in to the city. Subs still chasing the HMS Ramilles. [image]local://upfiles/26010/BC41679E4F2C4368B06447090C12BA71.jpg[/image]

Coach Z -> SitRep - July 17, 1942 (5/5/2008 1:39:23 AM)
The Northern Front His invasiom of Adak Island has occured. My 600 laid mines had no effect on all his cruisers and destroyers during several naval combats and bombardments, but they have damaged a few of his APs. The weather has grounded my Nells at Attu for a couple of days, and on the first day the HIYO and the CVE's with her were covered by a storm. I must simply dig in and wait on Attu and Kiska, for I feel it is only a matter of time for Adak Island to fall. I lost a chunk of the 7th Infantry Division when I tried to withdraw them, and there is no enough supply there after all of the bombardments. Of course I will have to send some reinforcements to the region, but it is more of a side show then anything else. The Central Pacific Nothing much happening here. FLoyd mines my ports and I sweep'em. Occasionally his subs take a shot at one of my minesweepers and every so often they hit and sink one. Still have a good Datai of Zeros and a good Datai of Nells guarding Kwajalein. Keep waiting for him to try and raid in that area or Wake with the Hornet and now maybe the Wasp or bith. South Pacific I've turned this theater into a major battle zone. The ability of his engineers to hold off my Paratroopers at Koumac for several days has had a major ripple effect and slowed the whole campaign to a crawl. When he brought his Marines back to Noumea, my Carrier planes were unable to sink enough AKs and APs that the overwhelming majority of the division are now defending New Caledonia at la Foa. It has been a very slow march (regardless of the road) for my units marching down from Koumac to join the battle at La Foa. On a positive note, I think I've destroyed ALOT of B-17s at Efate, and it looks like he is no longer using that base as a major air field. I need to get some ideas as to his strength to see if I may want to use my Brigade in Reserve, as well as the two large SNLF units I have planning for Efate. Australia Derby has fallen and is now an active base. It took my Engineers only 2 days to lower the airbase damage (both were in the 70's). The arrival of a British Carrier on station was surprising. Two Datai of Betty's at Timor 15 hexes away only Naval Attack, 30% search and once more no warning. (I'm not even going to discuss the planes on Java and at Kendari-another nearly 90 bomber). Hopefully these pilots will get some stones tomorrow! The 16th Army outside of Darwin is not recovering as fast as I'd expected and every attack I make seems to fail. I'm hoping that the addition of the 48th Infantry Division might change that.

Coach Z -> July 18, 1942 (5/7/2008 2:59:32 AM)
JULY 18th, 1942 SNLF Troops land at Broome, unfortunately the Indian Infantry Division (troops brought in the AKs we attacked several turns ago) had already returned to Broome. The Indian Troops counterattack destroying most if the SNLF. Betty's and Nells on Timor spot but do not strike the British Carrier- I assume its the Illustrious since the Formidable took two torpedoes a few weeks ago. American Marines continue to unload at Adak Island & another transport hits a mine. I have no clue how the a Carrier loses fuel while its TF refuels from a replenishment TF which still has over 2000 fuel left. Someone wiull have to explain that one to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coastal Guns at Broome, 21,85, firing at TF 80 TF 80 troops unloading over beach at Broome, 21,85 83 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

Coach Z -> RE: July 20, 1942 (5/18/2008 6:23:04 PM)
JULY 20th, 1942 Was disappointed when all my strikes near Adak Island went after his Destroyers and not his unloading transports. Was even more disppointed when Bettys and Nells in Derby and on Timor spot the Illustrious, then do not attack her. Ihave lost count of the time that my planes spot an enemy TF within range and then do not attack it....especially those with British ships (it seems). Was shocked to receive 0:1 odds in my asttack outside Derby.

Coach Z -> RE: July 23, 1942 (6/7/2008 7:35:14 PM)
JULY 23rd, 1942 Operations in New Caledonia are taking forever. I never imagined that it would take so long. I am still stupified that his engineer unit with no assult value was able to hold off a SNLF Para Bn and a PARA Rgt for several days! They were only finally pushed out of Koumac after the majority of an Infantry Division landed. Oh well I need to stop whinnning! I was very disappointed when my two Betty Datais on Java did absolutely nothing after my CS spotted some AKs south of Java. Plus the small SCTF in the same hex did not enegage the AKs. I am bringing another Mixed Rgt from China to North Western Australia. With a little luck I will have Broome before they arrive, but if not they will prove very helpful. Unfortunately Floyd was able to move one of his Aussie Inf Div back in to Darwin. (Why have I been unable to withdraw any of my units involved in the fight south of Darwin though? I've attacked with him everyday and when I've set units to move away on the road, they don't?) Well the large Naval Infantry and 56th Brigade will have to land at Wyndham and march over.

Situations in North Western Australia. A Division and Tank Rgt are holding off the 16th Army outside of Darwin.
