RGIJN -> RE: Iron Bottom Sound - confirmed (8/30/2010 3:37:57 PM)

the USN decided to press on and brought up her fifth fleet carrier - the mighty old SARATOGA. After her A/C had sunk two transports off Lunga piers last turn, we ordered CarDiv 5 again back to the scene to deal with this. Though all squadrons were only half-replenished (due to lack of replacements) the sheer superior numbers made it out. SARA is reprorted lost with all hands and 83 A/C. Own casualties: about ten B5N Kates and a medium damaged CVL + light cruiser.

Unfortunately, the Sake supply ship is delayed due to zigg-zagging in anticipation of enemy submarines. We orderes them to proceed flank speed ahead, straight for the Shortlands. Our sailors & pilots throats are dried out after weeks at sea, with no pause sinking enemy ships...

Only one USN CV (the WASP) is somewhere waiting for orders to get into range.

RGIJN -> another battle (9/9/2010 9:55:07 AM)

Obviously, CV WASP was on its way up to Espiritu Santo. A minor CV battle folded, with our CVs out of torpedo range, unfortunately. However, the last remaining enemy carrier should be ripe for immediate westcoast overhaul now...

With this thread pushed aside, we bombed the enemy heavily and interfered all his convoy efforts the next three days. Many ships were reported wrecks.

a1981stingray -> RE: another battle (9/9/2010 1:07:14 PM)

obviously - the only chatter that could be heard over the Allied radios was "Abandon ship! All hands, Abandon Ship! Repeat this is NOT a drill! Abandon ship! All hands, Abandon Ship!"

The Skipper, Gilligan, and the Professor of the SS Minnow happened to make it to shore along with the passengers, Marie Ann, Ginger, and Mr. and Mrs. Howell...

RGIJN -> RE: another battle (9/10/2010 7:05:05 AM)

recently, even more allied vessels made it to their new wettish home beneath the waves. About 4...5 Oilers and several AP/AKs were reported sunk.

One such victim (an always stricken Oiler that was limping back to port) was caught by one of our submarines lurking around... Since the Allies are considered short of sufficient escorts (especially DDs which were sunk in decent numbers) the Seas will become even more fruitful for us now.




classic surface attack, with some shells pumped into the hull, followed by two 21" Torpedoes...

BTW, we still send out dozens of barges in an effort to pick up the drowning sailors and save as many as possible. They will receive a shot of Sake as first aid.... [sm=party-smiley-012.gif]




RGIJN -> RE: another battle (10/12/2010 1:20:54 PM)

the imperial submarine force continues to strike allied shipping on their routes to supply the starving garrisons... This tanker made it to the "total loss" list today.

RGIJN -> keeping the enemy on the ground (10/15/2010 5:01:57 PM)

recently, some minor fleets visited the Hebrides area. We sent two bombardment TFs into Luganville and achieved some nice results (the enemy already abandoned the airstrip there a while ago).

After staging some wolfpacks into the Solomons, the Allies lost several subs (at least 4) in the last few weeks. Many were pounded by air attack, the remaining ones are either crawling back home or stalled at ports open to our pummeling....

RGIJN -> Oct, 1942 (10/19/2010 10:19:52 AM)

By now, we made it to Oct 9th 1942 and the overall war progress is truly very pleasant & satisfying. All objectives taken so far, and the perimeter for the ongoing struggle is set very well.

In the meantime, Imperial GHQ approved next stages of "War Plan RG02-3A" and accordingly transformed it into "RG02-3B1". They allocated massive assets down south to our local command in order to ensure quick success. Over one thousand A/C (of them, 350LB and 400 fighters) are ready to support the operations. Nihon Kaigun (the navy) is on hand with major components (eight fleet carriers, one light flattop, seven battlewagons incl. YAMATO & MUSASHI, 17 heavy and 14 light cruisers along with 75 destroyers and 15 submarines).

The enemy is rated quite weak, but not broken yet. However, we haven´t intercepted much allied secret traffic so far. Besides a few subamrines and some mines laid in the Solomons vicinity and off Truk atoll there is absolutely no trace of the Americans, nor the Aussies. At least, they keep on loosing valuable transport vessels to our U-Boats....

Stay tuned for more news from the front soon...

a1981stingray -> RE: Oct, 1942 (10/19/2010 9:46:25 PM)

Monthly Report from the Pacific Allied Command HQ

The dreaded Imperial Japanese pounded our entire Naval Air Combat Fleet as it was shadowing the Allied Supply Transports near New Hebrides. It was difficult reading the reports of all hands lost including many pilots who were shot down by Zero Ace Pilots from the enemies most prestigious carriers.

Almost all transports and auxiliary ships were lost as well. A majority of the survivors were sent back to Pearl while the severely crippled were scuttled the next day.

The only ships to evade the IJN were those who lurk in the depths below. The submariners following orders to mine every enemy port hex from San Cristobal north to Truk.

This was only slightly encouraging good news, but still not as good as a full barrel of rum every morning for breakfast. Don't get me wrong, I am not an alcoholic. Just under these bad times it really helps calm the nerves....

It is with great delight and celebration of the arrival of North Carolina and South Dakota with another big gun soon to arrive in a few days. In addition the Long Island has come back from Pearl with upgraded AA guns. More submarines continue to swell our dockyards at Noumea and are assigned an enemy port to mine.

In the next few weeks it's possible that the New Hebrides Islands could be lost. A severe lack of available transports restricts Allied Commanders from lifting the powerful 1st Marine Division into Luganville.

Other reports from Australia have every major base well defended and stockpiled with rum. Cooktown is home for the Kanga Force Troops, Cairns is home to the 7th Div, Inisfail is home to 3rd Div, 41st is currently setting up in Townsville, and the 6th Div is arriving in Rock Hampton. More troops continue to arrive daily and get assigned to protect the OZ Coastline. If Port Moresby had not fallen to the IJA, then most of these troops would be marching over the Owen Stanley Mountains and into Buna and Lae. Unfortunately, the IJA have redirected all their assets to the weakest part of the Allies Front Lines...

The latest Schedule shows Pearl to release the next CVTF is approximately 130 days. In the meantime a few tin cans and other aux vessels are scheduled to arrive between now and then.


Allied Intel is not very good. The only Search Planes operating have reported that the IJA occupy several nearby island bases that are within range of using their Zero and Val aircraft against Luganville. If this is true then it's doomsday for those stranded in New Hebrides.




RGIJN -> no CAP over Noumea... (10/21/2010 5:22:27 PM)

The enemy´s main port was found undefended when 44 bombers where sent down from Guadalcanal. For the loss of nine (op) aircraft they set on fire many big transports at the piers. We suspect they got engulfed in flames that quick due to their load of rum.... [;)]

RGIJN -> next goal - Luganville (10/22/2010 2:29:31 PM)

while approaching the US base of Espiritu Santo, some nice slaughters folded. Initially we welcomed massive enemy airstrike just to cut them out of the skies... about 60 Wildcats, 25 Dauntless bombers and 20 Aircobras shot down for the loss of 20ish fighters of our own... The few bomb hits are deemed to be nothing more than scratches to the paint by our confidend engineers[:)]

The approach will go on, with much support from the battlefleet softening up the Allied defenses and rendering their airstrip useless.

a1981stingray -> RE: next goal - Luganville (10/22/2010 3:12:23 PM)

The latest hammering from the IJN BBTFs and LR bombers have put the base and airfield into the 200 damage... but the Allied CB and ENG units repaired it overnight....




RGIJN -> RE: next goal - Luganville (10/26/2010 4:20:24 PM)

Luganville should be ripe for a final assault now... a few attempts to reinforce the garrison by FT TFs where hampered by our massive submarine & mine barrier.

The Allied lost countless numbers of A/C while fruitlessly attacking our fleets. The only hassle they accomplished was to severely damage the heavy cruiser FURUTAKA (about 60 sys) and the medium carrier JUNYO (21 sys, no float dmg).

In the meantime, LR fighters from our forward base of Nevea interdicted with the enemy´s supply runs by air and shot down many precious medium & heavy bombers in the process.

and after our submarine I-166 sank the very last freighter "BUZZ" sent from Hawaii (loaden with rum) it was a matter of hours only....



THE ALLIES HAVE SURRENDERED
