18-19 Sep 1942 This turn confirms the war is over, except for bayoneting the dead and dying... Subs On of ours hits a mine in the inland sea. That was about it. Burma We attack Moulmein with B-17 with and without escort. A heavey CAP of around 30-50 aircraft causes us a bit of grief, and we don't do a lot of damage... Don't know what our losses were, but we have a lot of B-17 damaged. At Pegu the attack goes in nicely... I'm not sure what was in a bad op mode or why... Ground combat at Pegu (55,53) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 56377 troops, 648 guns, 1062 vehicles, Assault Value = 1797 Defending force 22142 troops, 203 guns, 220 vehicles, Assault Value = 484 Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 2 Allied adjusted assault: 1726 Japanese adjusted defense: 121 Allied assault odds: 14 to 1 (fort level 2) Allied forces CAPTURE Pegu !!! Combat modifiers Defender: op mode(-), preparation(-), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 6667 casualties reported Squads: 122 destroyed, 138 disabled Non Combat: 303 destroyed, 160 disabled Engineers: 85 destroyed, 10 disabled Guns lost 89 (83 destroyed, 6 disabled) Vehicles lost 173 (155 destroyed, 18 disabled) Units retreated 6 Allied ground losses: 828 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 53 disabled Non Combat: 4 destroyed, 76 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled Guns lost 1 (0 destroyed, 1 disabled) Vehicles lost 44 (1 destroyed, 43 disabled) Defeated Japanese Units Retreating!

It won't be pretty for them here now... what will they do? DEI Mini KB makes an appearance trying to kill our CL TF that hit Koepang, they guessed rightly that we were at Broome, but then Tony moved to Darwin and this turn hit Dili... here are the results, picture below... Morning Air attack on TF, near Moa at 74,118 Weather in hex: Light rain Raid detected at 120 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 45 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 59 B5N2 Kate x 13 Japanese aircraft losses B5N2 Kate: 2 damaged Allied Ships DD Tjerk Hiddes, Bomb hits 1, on fire CL Hobart CL Mauritius Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Moa at 74,118 Weather in hex: Light rain Raid detected at 120 NM, estimated altitude 15,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 51 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 48 B5N2 Kate x 27 Japanese aircraft losses B5N2 Kate: 4 damaged Allied Ships CL Hobart, Bomb hits 1 CL Mauritius DD Isaac Sweers, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires Naval bombardment of Dili at 71,115 Japanese aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 1 destroyed on ground Allied Ships CL Mauritius CL Hobart DD Arrow DD Van Galen DD Isaac Sweers Japanese ground losses: 42 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 1 (0 destroyed, 1 disabled) Airbase hits 49 Airbase supply hits 31 Runway hits 334 Port hits 2 Port supply hits 2 Lots of aircraft damaged at Dili, the bombardment was so effective due to the hugh DL level we had there (Lighting Recon for the last few weeks, 9/10 DL). The airfield is probably closed down, will launch a strike from Darwin methinks now! You may ask why that SCTF had no CAP... well the British Navy decided they didn't need it (Tony did the move without co-ordinating it with tmy aircraft)... we may loose a DD... The TF escaped OK from mini KB, and with a lot of fighters at Darwin they would be foolish to attack... SWPAC All quiet as we train and move forces about. SOPAC Our TF at Rabaul are being "pinged" by search aircraft (mainly Glen) all the time... we have 100+ fighters so I doubt they will attack now... CENTPAC Forces should be unloading at Makin (which is still Allied). NORPAC The Bombardment TF hits and we deliberate attack, causing a lot of casulties to them even at 1:1 odds. I will now rest a few days then attack again...
