On a side note the Fuso and Yamashiro are heading back to japan to repair. Fuso had a collision around a month ago and has 9 permanent flood damage that needs to be repaired, and Yamshiro was badly beaten up in a duel vs the Royal sovereign which was sunk along with her 4 CL and 4 DD escorts. current damage after sitting in Singapore for a while is 20 system, 10 flood and 5 engine. Her initial damage was 56 system, 22 flood, 15 engine, 0 fire.

Sinapore was nuked after it was captured, so the dockyard isnt large enough yet. ive repaired it up to 34 size, but im also repairing half a dozen DDs and a cl that were damaged during the chittagong landing. hongkong was also damaged and the repair dockyard is currently at 17. Im gonna repair the Singapore dockyard to at least 40.

Float planes like the Jake, the Mavis or Emily flying boats, even a detachment of Japanese bombers will work but the pilots must have an experience of 50 or better. The best Naval Search skill so they know that a PT boat is not a Battleship. The Babs is a Recon plane more than a Naval search plane.

Overall I'm not very surprised that Deaniks is trying to raid, the Rabaul/port Moresby region as hes done this before in past games i've played vs him. should be getting the turn back in about an hour.

March 26th Today had some spicy air combat. The American Carrier force headed towards Rabaul today and was attacked by G4Ms escorted by zeros coming from Rabaul. Morning Air attack on TF, near Russell Islands at 112,138 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid detected at 69 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 24 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 23 G3M2 Nell x 20 G4M1 Betty x 9 Allied aircraft F4F-3A Wildcat x 20 F4F-3 Wildcat x 14 F4F-4 Wildcat x 31 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed G3M2 Nell: 3 destroyed, 9 damaged G3M2 Nell: 1 destroyed by flak G4M1 Betty: 2 destroyed, 4 damaged Allied aircraft losses F4F-3 Wildcat: 1 destroyed F4F-4 Wildcat: 1 destroyed Allied Ships CV Yorktown, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CV Enterprise CVL Charlotte BB Prince of Wales Ammo storage explosion on CV Yorktown. Overall loses are 20 G3M and 14 G4M and 11 Zeros. In return 34 defending F4F wildcats were lost. I had hoped to do a bit more damage but given the extreme range of the strike I am happy enough. No retaliatory strike is launched by the American carriers as they are out of range of Rabaul, or any shipping elsewhere. Banzai!!!! A couple of other peice meal attacks came in without dealing any signigant damage. ironically the only unescorted attack if the day scored a hit on the New Orleans.

March 29th The main event today was payback for the poor tank attack in China yesterday. It appears that the results of yesterdays attack gave dean the wrong idea regarding my strength as the main body of my push caught up right when he attacked. The results were devastating for the two Chinese corps. I don't think I've seen losses this one sided before.

30th of March Sweeps trade relatively evenly in India losing 9 zeros and 1 oscar for 14 hurricanes. A Naval surface TF is spotted north of Cochin containing the Repulse and some cruisers. Nagato and Mutsu based at Cochin along with 5 CAs, 1 CL, and 15 DDs will move to engage in a night battle tomorrow while the transports flee. All troops have been unloaded so not much at risk, but im not gonna give up a chance to take a favorable night engagement vs the British. In china the 2 Chinese corps were soundly routed and the spearhead advances towards Chihikiang where there is minor opposition. The troops in Changasha are already encircled they just don't know it yet.

March 31st Honourable surface combat did not occur today, it appears that the British TF ****ed off after it was spotted north of Cochin. Its odd that he would attempt probing movements with a Battlecruiser, but i guess he lost his nerves and pulled back. Carrier Division 1 is currently patroling the edge of the map near the cape town off map exit looking for any ships heading to India. Carrier Divisions 2-3 are in Singapore refitting and replenishing their air units which took some loses during the raid earlier. 3 Zero units and 1 G4M unit arrived in Japan today to replace units withdrawing on the front lines earlier. Once the units are filled up ill decide where to send them, probably to India. Sweeps go well in India trading 2 zeros, and a Oscar for 9 Hurricanes.

And I fail to take Trincamalee again... Gonna wait for a Division and a regiment to get there before I try again. Ground combat at Trincomalee (31,47) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 17836 troops, 152 guns, 24 vehicles, Assault Value = 583 Defending force 9045 troops, 70 guns, 45 vehicles, Assault Value = 128 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 1 Japanese adjusted assault: 95 Allied adjusted defense: 241 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 1) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 308 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 30 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled Guns lost 10 (1 destroyed, 9 disabled) Allied ground losses: 64 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 9 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 6 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Assaulting units: 20th Division 143rd Infantry Regiment 3rd Ship Engineer Regiment 32nd Special Base Force 38th JNAF AF Unit Defending units: Trincomalee Fortress 99th Indian Brigade Sweeps are canceled by bad weather, ugh.

April 3rd Not much has happened the last few days, bad weather in India has repeatably canceled sweeps of calcutta. I'm continuing to destroy cut off Indian troops in Burma, and moving to cut off a Indian Division that has been giving my Paras trouble up in north east India. ill post pictures of china and India in a bit. I also have intel from my opponent that the torpedo on the Formidable didn't do much damage, So I expect that she is still part of the Allied line of battle. In SW Pac im moving to build Air fields on Lunga and to reinforce Tagula island, which is already mined, and will receive Coastal guns when the port is built up enough. The zero unit aboard Taiyo was withdrawn today as well, but I get a replacement unit in Bankok in 2 days. my CVEs needed some minor repairs anyways. In Burma I have begun bombarding the 1st Burma Division with 3 old Predreadnought Era curisers that start as PG in this scenario. They are very slow but have reasonable firepower making them only suited for coastal bombardment duty.

If you can't sweep Calcutta, why not sweep the kitchen floor? [&:]

quote: ORIGINAL: soulsilver Ok I have a question for you guys, im currently trying to convert the CS chitose to a CVL It has no damage and is disbanded in Nagasaki which has a sufficiently large dockyard. furthermore I have the ship set yes to upgrade.... not sure what my problem is. The Chitose and Chiyoda conversions are governed by a different set of rules than the usual upgrades. See this thread, Alfred's post in particular : https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3819690

April 4th The turn opens with some DDs and CLs stepping on a sub north of Cochin in south India. ASW attack near Mangalore at 31,32 Japanese Ships SS I-29, hits 10 Allied Ships DD Decoy CL Newcastle CL Adelaide DD Kelvin DD Panther DD Isis DD Hotspur I'm preparing for a potential raid this next turn, more likely that hes just probing my defenses in the south. Sweeps in India are once again grounded by bad weather...... this is ridiculous I havent been able to sweep in a whole week now. Air raids go in as normal in china Morning Air attack on 58th Chinese Corps, at 79,50 , near Chihkiang Weather in hex: Light rain Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 7 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 30 G3M2 Nell x 33 G4M1 Betty x 62 Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 9 Japanese aircraft losses G4M1 Betty: 1 damaged Allied ground losses: 176 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 9 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled The turn ends with an unsuccessful attack in northern china vs encircled troops. I think I'll now officially give up killing them and just bypass them and ignore them. 2nd Kure Assault Division sucessfully unloaded at rennel Island, though i need 1 more day to unload some more supply and some support. Im not sticking around any longer since I'm spotted. On another note A6M5 was accelerated 1 month a few days ago, I expect to receive it some time in 7/42.

Situation in India rn P.S. forgot to mention the 33rd Division just unloaded at Chittagon. the 5th Division is on the way as well. Tomoyuki Yamashita, the tiger of Malaya is leading the campaign. The fruits of victory are falling into our mouths far too easily... [image]local://upfiles/70868/C7B091739BB8473B92AB148A724758A6.jpg[/image]
