Looks Like he has chosen to fight Guadacanal further south and closer to your major bases than his own. Attacking New Caledonia is usually an earl 42 Japanese expansion move not late summer of 42. Good luck and in my game as I too am the Allies it looks by opponent is going to do the same thing yours is and it is now mid June 42.



John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/16/2021 4:27:53 PM)

I would never, EVER do something as foolish as conduct Japanese Invasion in late-August/early-September 1942. That would be STUPID!



John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/16/2021 4:29:58 PM)

August 30, 1942

The Allied TFs disappear. Shame. The Japanese were prepared to give battle. Oh, well...

At Cairns, Aust the first assault occurs yielding an immediate 2-1 result lowering Forts from 3 down to 2. Looking very promising!

So?[&:]

How about that Steak and Cheese, with everything on it and Sweet Onion dressing? [:'(]
Subs should be eaten, not depth charged.[;)]

That is funny. OK. YES--I do have a Subway but steak and cheese sandwich is not appropriate. A chicken-bacon-ranch is better. It comes with DOUBLE CHEESE!

Not saying that anything I write is cheesy of course.

Just a point of clarification...

Oh good, maybe I will try that next although ranch is not my favorite. I have some coupons for subway, including a BOGO one![:D]

Humor helps keep any depression away and releases natural endorphins which can get you HIGH! Both are good things and the later one is legal.

I am enjoying the commentary from both sides. Although if your opponent had a separate one, someone could post some pictures for comments . . . [;)]

No that would be far too early in the war for a major JIII invasion[:D]. 43/44 is far more par for the course[;)]



John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/17/2021 12:26:55 PM)

Well...I did invade INDIA in early-1945 once with ten-twelve divisions against Canoerebel...just saying...[:D][sm=fighting0083.gif]

I was just his economics minister and not his personal mental health therapist at the time. That was one of the reason I became his therapist and the family one to boot. His wife is the sane one of the two. [:D]

Michael speaks the TRUTH here!

Paula is the sanest one of the family. Course...that is relative since we're talking about me, a 17-Year Old John, and a 14 1/2 Year-Old Christopher...

Am visiting my sister in Wichita, KS and we're going to see the B-29 'Doc' in a few minutes. Will post pictures when we get back...



RangerJoe -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/18/2021 10:07:54 PM)

That Chicken, Bacon, Ranch sub is very good. I also got an order of the steak - just the meat, nothing else. My cat enjoys that . . . [:D]



Bif1961 -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/18/2021 10:10:23 PM)

What's up Doc? [:D]



John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/18/2021 11:14:24 PM)

That is one IMPRESSIVE aircraft! We took lots of pictures and sent some to Michael to look at. If you have not been to Wichita and seen DOC (B-29), DO SO!

John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/20/2021 3:38:44 AM)

September 1, 1942
Cairns, Aust

The new month starts well as Cairns falls to a two division assault. The attack gains a 4-1 with 518 Japanese Cas while the Aussies (and Americans) lost 1546, 45 Guns, and 30 Vehicles.

The arrows denote Japanese Divisional movement.

You should call them "Zippo" air actions for all of the flamers that don't go out in a wind, unlike other lighters.[;)]

That air round shown earlier WAS NOT fun! Had two units of Fighters to fly CAP. NOT! Didn't happen.



John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/22/2021 10:51:12 PM)

September 5, 1942
New Caledonia

...on the OTHER HAND...

Taking LaFoa in a 13-1 Assault was LOVELY! Two BBs, 3 CLs, and 11 DDs sank a PT Boat and then bombarded the hex and then the assault went in. Japanese Cas were 97 and 2 Guns while the Allies were forced back losing 2,063 men, 61 Guns, and 43 Vehicles. Four PBY were also destroyed.

NICE!

Noumea is next.

It does. Just keep all them units in BURMA!

We're working CHINA!



John 3rd -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (3/25/2021 1:13:13 AM)

September 9, 1942
China

After the Central China industrial cities fall, the Japanese move forward in their plans. Each arrow is a multi-divisional force with an Army HQ, IDs, Artillery, and Engineers. We work with stacking limits so that is very important!

Had the influx of over THREE DOZEN Chinese units into eastern Burma NOT OCCURRED, this move would have little hope of success...
