Well I dropped a clanger by not co-ordinating the Dumanquilas/Orequieta landings, and landed at Zamboanga too soon.
Nothing to get worried about, just proves that I'm getting older and more forgetful[:(]

I can start moving engineers into Lunga/Tulagi now, and develop the bases asp, so that I can commence offensive actions further south, and help with the isolation of Moresby.[:)]

More troops land in Mersing, and the Imperial Guards et al, will be in Alor Star in two days.
Once I've got on the main road to Singers, it will make the advance much quicker.[:)]

I really want to be in Singers by the middle of January at the latest.[8|]

Trundling along nicely, dropped another clanger with those Betty's[:@], but should be into Alor Star next turn.

The Mersing Beach-head has cut all his troops off in the North of Malaya from Singapore so I have high hopes for an early end to the campaign in Malaya.

Manado is a strangely tough nut to crack if you don't bring the hammer. At least it's given me trouble with only one major combat unit there. I usually bring a combat engineer unit here with an SNLF, land at the dot hex and walk them over.

What kind of search are you operating in the area? Also, is your CV group flying search itself? Often they won't fly unless a group on the CV is doing some searching. Or maybe your TF movement went in the opposite direction of theirs after this sighting? Still, annoying.




Empire101 -> RE: Do You Feel Lucky Punk? Empire101 vs DirtyHarry (No Dirty Harry please) (9/16/2012 3:52:42 PM)

Well, they were looking for transports around Balikpapan but I inadvertently extended their search.

They are on their way back to Camh Ran Bay via Balipapan now.

Yep, it was annoying [:@]

Things are trundling along, 5th Division has finally formed up in Malaya and is advancing on Georgetown with the Imperial Guards, who have had their Leader replaced....Leadership of 29 for my Favourite Infantry Div!! I don't think so!!.
They should be assaulting Georgetown in three days.
Hopefully troops will be in Johore next turn to eject the garrison there, and then I'll just roll up the whole Peninsula.

A slow advance in the Phillipines, but I'm in no rush. Just waiting for the Guards Mixed Brigade to arrive at Truk and then the Rabaul assault can begin. [X(]

I certainly don't want to kill them as I'm trying not to 'kill' any Chinese units until after Chungking has fallen, as the resultant 'drag' for supplies/reinforcements will slowly take the Chinese under.
