Enjoying this read. Agree on the Rabaul/PB POW camps, but look at all the time it's bought him. As an Allied player, I've yet to hold so many forward bases into April. Then again, I make lots of bad defensive decisions.

Then again, I make lots of bad defensive decisions. Thanks! I don't think it bought him any time, it's the opposite around. Not only were his losses insane (the loss of 4 US CVs alone wouldn't make it worth it) but he will also lose ground troops he could use for offensives in late 42. It would have bought him time if my goal would have been New Caledonia but even then, I could have just sailed South and take it as there is no Allied Navy left that could deal with KB. The only reason I didn't take Rabaul yet was seeing him trying to push more and more troops into it, giving me the chance to cause more and more losses within his forces. Just look at Port Moresby, he lost around 3-400 frontline fighters there and gained nothing else than downing a hundred Zeroes. I am swimming in Zeroes already and he got smaller numbers of frontline fighter in April 42 than he had in Dec 41, not a great trade and if I want to take the base, I'm going to take it. Both Port Moresby and Rabaul are a sinkhole for the Allied. I always see PM as a great place to make a stand for the Allied but then you have to commit to it and you need an intact USN carrier force. Ed most likely has nothing left that could be a real threat around PM/Rabaul so his troops are lost as was his Navy. Port Blair the same, he has brought some 15000 troops to the little island that is so far from the shipping lanes to Rangoon that the base there can do nothing and he lost a lot of ships there for no gain at all. Now his base and troops are actually cut off and my cruisers destroyed way over 100 aircraft there and I can do nuclear bombardments at will. If Port Blair would have blocked my advance into Burma then it may have had a reason trying to build it up but it had no impact at all. So he has built himself another POW camp for no gain IMO.

Here's the situation in China! I have yet to find out how Ed is playing the China theatre. We have seen unsuccesful Chinese offensives in February when our truce ended which resulted in horrible losses for the Chinese and we have destroyed thousands of Chinese squads in our offensives already when the enemy had to surrender in Northern China. Our Northern Army is sieging Nanyang which has no chance to hold as there are actually fewer enemy troops than around Kaifeng earlier and my airforce is bombing them daily. There are around 50k Chinese troops further North that are doing limited offensives against bases I don't care at all. I'm glad if he takes them because there is no industry and I have to still garisson them. At Ichang he has around 200.000 troops that just hold the base there. South of Changsha he moved 200.000 men across the river into that clear hex as he wanted to kick out three of my divs that were faster and now I'm counterattacking out of Changsha. Attacking the Chinese in a clear hex will be easier than attacking them in a fortified base so we will see. Changsha is absolutely safe as he abandoned the base earlier and our troops moved into level 6 forts! Near Kweilin he is moving an Army of 100.000 men South, seems like an offensive that is aiming at Canton/Hong Kong which would be just insane IMO but I'm fine with countering Chinese offensives. He has lost so many troops already that his strenght is not going to recover and his supply situation is also going to get worse and worse. China will be decided by the end of 42, either he manages to stabilize the front or I will take the targets I want to take. [image]local://upfiles/13774/A3BC3388111444ED889EBAD67175CD30.jpg[/image]

Looking at the ops report I noticed some good news as the Tojo advances R&D which means the advanced IJAAF fighter is available for production now... the bad news about it is my first big mistake when it comes to aircraft production and R&D as I didn't keep any of the factories to go online... [8\|] the plan was to keep 2x30 factories on R&D to be switched to another aircraft but all are producing now... annoying mistake but not a show stopper, means we have a monthly potential to build 224 Tojos which sounds great at first but one also needs the pilots and if I'd lose 200 fighters a month I'd need 600 pilots on training for them to replace the losses... the Tojo is very welcome for our next bigger operations and will replace the Zero as the main fighter whenever possible...

I can't see Ed trying another evacuation attempt and for sure he won't be able to bring more stuff to Rabaul so these troops will be lost... remains the question how much damage the Aussies can do to my troops... I had these troops ready weeks ago but didn't order an invasion because I wanted the Allied to commit more to Rabaul but when we destroyed that cruiser squadron and the evacuation failed I knew it will be about time to invade as he won't come back...

with three succesful sub attacks I've thought we had a good day with our subs but S-47 had to torpedo Akagi which makes it an even better day for the Allied sub force... looking at the daily air losses we see 8 Beaufort I lost on the ground which must have been on the big transport that was sunk off Ceylon... that's nice, those Beaforts are the best anti shipping aircraft for the RAF and a squadron lost is a real loss...

GRRRRRRRRRRRR... [:@] 21 Betties with literally all of my available escorts find the quite huge armada and attack several ships in light rain... we outnumbered the CAP but still a couple of fighters engaged the bombers downing five of them so I didn't expect a lot and it was a total surprise to see four Betties attacking Ramillies and ALL of them hitting the BB!!! BANZAI!!! [&o] the rest of the bombers all missed, pretty much as expected... 35 more Betties could have been quite funny... so this is quite a big operation to either reinforce or evacuate Port Blair I guess and... I'd bet it's evacuation time as Port Blair didn't do him any good, it's the British equivalent to Rabaul so far... two RN CVs were spotted but there must be a third one when I look at the enemy fighters on CAP but that CAP isn't really competitive actually... should be interesting turns to come and the start was quite good already as I don't expect Ramillies to survive four torps...

I wonder if these attacks today will make Ed retreating but I guess he will press on as he did in the past so we might get another chance to score some hits... his British CV can't cover his convoys vs my air attacks at all, they just don't carry enough fighters and the ones on the ships at this stage of the war aren't really competitive even against Zeroes... will be interesting what happens tomorrow...

today's airlosses with 32 aircraft lost vs the Royal Navy but also downing around 20 enemy fighters over their ships and sinking Ramillies plus several transports... pilot losses weren't as high as aircraft losses but replacing torpedo bomber crews is harder than replacing fighter pilots as I just don't have enough bomber units... I can either have more at the front or use more units for training so it's a tradeoff until I have more trained pilots in the pool... at the moment I am still replacing lower trained original ones with 70 skilled pilots and am not building up a real pool so this will be a problem until the end of 42... good thing is that the USN lost their fleet carriers so I have time to train some pilots in the meantime [image]local://upfiles/13774/FD29A810F3A44DB686D05867E5FA3E7A.jpg[/image]

I'm not really happy to send in my ships vs the Royal Navy as they know how to fight at night but I had absolutely overwhelming forces ready to strike with a the Nagatos and an excellent heavy cruiser task force in the area that could strike his shipping and still 100 Betties on nav strike... same as with Rabaul, he tried to defend forward and it only resulted in losses for literally no gain IMO and his troops are POW...
