jrcar -> RE: Aussies vs Amis - World Defence(no Joe or Nik) (11/12/2009 12:21:23 AM)

Been real busy, only just enough time to do turns, so will catch up quickly... lots has happened.
22-3 March 1942
Java
Japanese forces advance, air battles, nothing decisive.
East DEI
Quiet. Hitting Dili from Darwin.
Philippines
The icecream machine is unloaded, morale improves!
The Japanese begin attacks on Clark. we are shuffling units around to reorganise the defence and confuse the enemy to our intentions. The Japanese continue to unload, but no new units are noted. Looks like mostly supply to rebuild.
Australia
KB appears from the SOUTH off Brisbane! B-17 Fly and make runs but don't hit anything. On the second day they hit Sydney. I had around 100 fighters training... it looks like the AI don't consider training CAP, so sent the bombers in unescorted... losses are high in ships, but nothing important.
Afternoon Air attack on Sydney , at 90,167
Weather in hex: Partial cloud
Raid detected at 40 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 15 minutes
Japanese aircraft
B5N2 Kate x 132
D3A1 Val x 122
Japanese aircraft losses

D3A1 Val: 2 destroyed, 18 damaged

Afterwards I rearrange the fighter defence on the east coast, expect an attack on Brisbane next.
This attack COULD have been decisive, as the CV's off Tulagi could have headed back to Sydney, I shudder to think of the impact of loosing 3-4 CV's and a stack of CA's...
Fortunately I sent them the other way!
SWPAC
Have begun evacuating troops from Tulagi to Luganville.
Ships unloading at Luganville are sent east away from KB (95% unloaded anyway).
SOPAC
Lots of stuff almost unloaded, but several big TF. These are stopped and sent away in case KB heads this way...
NORPAC
the Damaged CV starts failing lots of die roles and the float goes up 17 points... despite the risk I will put into the nearest port, it is likely to have Jap subs, but she almost certainly won't make a further port (all of which have Jap subs....)
China
Chengchow falls.
