Jan 23, 1942 Bases captured today: Calapan and Cebu (RES 14(6), LI 14(6)) As I expected email intel (the best kind when playing Japan) confirmed that it was a battalion lost by the Allies at Victoria Point; it was supposed to land farther north, but he apparently messed up, lol. quote: The "Lost Battalion" off the Burmese coast was a faux pas. It was to have been dropped on the coast two hexes south of your advanced position and covered by a surface task force but my staff muddled the orders.

Jan 24, 1942 Bases captured or assaulted today: None CV Kaga took a torpedo from a US sub near Adak; damage is not too bad. That sort of makes up my mind what to do with this CV TF - Kaga needs repair and the 2 CVLs need to increase the air squadrons on board to the ship maximum AND swap out Claudes for Zeroes - so it's back to Japan to do that. CV Akagi may lurk at Amchitka to attack targets of opportunity in the Aleutians. Two US heavy cruisers bombarded Dutch Harbor. More email intel - quote: Your invasion of Dutch Harbor took me by surprise. Don't know whether I should abandon it. Both sides at Dutch Harbor are equal in strength; the US controls the base with level 2 forts; why would he consider abandoning it? Of course, this message was before Kaga took a torpedo; that may change his mind.

Jan 26, 1942 Preview CVL Shoho arrived at Yokohama with 12 Claudes and 9 N1 Kates. The aircraft complement is changed to 21 fighters and 9 torpedo bombers, with the Claudes upgrading to A6M2 Zeroes (90 in inventory), but the Kates staying N1. The total capacity is 30 aircraft and the torpedo load is 18, so with 9 Kates Shoho can launch 2 full strikes with torpedoes. Our carriers near Amchitka have escaped detection, but a US CV has appeared east of Dutch Harbor. CV Kaga will continue west with only its Vals providing search and ASW support. The Kates have been split with 1/3 going to each of the other 3 carriers, while her Zeroes are now on CV Akagi. We will attempt an ambush.

Jan 26, 1942 Our CV TF in the Aleutians didn't move far enough to engage any of the Allied TFs, but is still undetected and will continue. Meanwhile, BB Arizona bombarded Dutch Harbor.

This is due to the poor defensive posture of the Allies, which caused individual Philippine Army divisions to be defeated in detail rather than withdraw to Clark Field and it's x3 terrain.

Jan 27, 1942 (continued) The first carrier vs. carrier battle of this war occurred today near Dutch Harbor. Our TF of CV Akagi and CVLs Ryujo and Zuiho, reinforced with Zeroes and Kates from CV Kaga (retiring to the west) found CV Lexington. The morning exchange of strikes - quote: Morning Air attack on TF, near Sanak Island at 174,52 Weather in hex: Partial cloud Raid detected at 76 NM, estimated altitude 10,000 feet.

quote: ORIGINAL: Bif1961 That was a quick victory against Bataan, which usually holds out till April or May 42. Yes, it was. My opponent's defense of Luzon was terrible. He allowed too many units to be isolated and destroyed at insignificant points away from the best defensive terrain - Clark Field. When captured Bataan still had about 17k supply.

Jan 28, 1942 Bases assaulted today: Ternate and Morotai The Allies began an offensive in Burma/Thailand a while back, presumably to forestall the coming Japanese offensive into Burma. Elements of the 18th British Division have been moving east toward Rahaeng and south toward Tavoy.

Japanese reinforcements are heading to Tavoy as shown on the map above. Four carriers will pass by Singapore on the 29th, showing Georgetown as their destination. If they can remain undetected for 3 more days we'll try to set up another ambush, this time near Tavoy.

In Malaya, the final push to conquer Singapore has begun - [image]local://upfiles/41215/51A6820C84F54BBEB57D7FF2A888A25E.jpg[/image] Unless the Allied units at Mersing withdraw to Johore Bharu SOON, they will be lost for the defense of Singapore. That force consists of an Australian brigade and several support units. 56 Div will keep them occupied while 18 Div and the Imperial Guards move to Johore Bharu, cutting the retreat route from Mersing. 6 Tank Rgt is loading transports at Singkawang and will reinforce Mersing as soon as 56 Div gets there. 4 Div, currently at Bataan, is also available to reinforce Mersing, but it will take at least a week to 10 days for them to get there.

The AMC later sank; the DDs are returning to Adak. BB Fuso hit a mine at Tavoy, but sustained only 2 system and 1 float damage. A CA TF made a high speed run up toward Rangoon (but not into the mined harbor) and sank an Allied AMc. Four carriers passed Singapore and have low detection in the Malacca Strait; they will proceed north. A brigade of 33 Div is unloading at Tavoy; another is loading transports at Alor Star; the third will load when its transports arrive.

Jan 31, 1942 Bases assaulted today: Tawi Tawi, Loewoek, and Gorontalo Bataan and Tavoy are being swept of mines; Manila has been swept. ARD Dewey, trying to escape Manila, was sunk by CL Kiso TF. Allied cruisers sank a PB unloading supplies at Buin; followed by carrier air sinking an xAK delivering engineers to Gasmata. I didn't expect a US carrier to be that far north!
