Operation Monkey (april 22nd - 25th 1943) The troop landings at Savaii, Upolu, Pago Pago and Tau'u will begin next turn. The invasion armada has finally arrived into Samoa Islands. Japanese numbers garrisoning these bases are still vague. It seems he has 4-5 units at Pago Pago if recon is correct. I would assume that there similar numbers in all of these bases. There were some enemy naval movement around Fiji's. Impossible to say what kind of ships there were. We welcomed by some Zero's and Sally's last turn... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Ta'u at 153,158 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 24 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 7 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 26 Allied aircraft F4F-3A Wildcat x 3 F4F-4 Wildcat x 101 F6F-3 Hellcat x 27 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 6 destroyed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Ta'u at 153,158 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 120 NM, estimated altitude 10,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 40 minutes Japanese aircraft Ki-21-Ic Sally x 9 Allied aircraft F4F-3A Wildcat x 3 F4F-4 Wildcat x 93 F6F-3 Hellcat x 27 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21-Ic Sally: 3 destroyed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Ta'u at 153,158 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 120 NM, estimated altitude 11,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 40 minutes Japanese aircraft Ki-21-Ic Sally x 13 Allied aircraft F4F-3A Wildcat x 3 F4F-4 Wildcat x 93 F6F-3 Hellcat x 27 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21-Ic Sally: 5 destroyed, 3 damaged Allied Ships CV Wasp CVE Altamaha In total when you add up operation phase losses the game indicated japanese lost some 60 aircraft at Samoa's. Next turn we know more and the idea is to seize these bases swiftly. US and NZ troops are also nearing their targets and start their operation within days.
