The Empire strikes back
The game has rolled on over a month again with a current date of April 3rd 1942. The Japanese invasion armada off Canton in late February withdrew (I guess they got scared after all). As a result, we still hold this very central location and are able to supply it, however it’s still too tenuous even to support submarine operations. Forts are almost at level 5.
In the North East corner, near Vancouver and Seattle, we’ve seen random Japanese cargo ships trying to supply the landings at Bella Bella and Coal Harbor, but we constantly have 2 BBs and 4DDs and US based bombers at the scene bombarding the places, so they haven’t been too successful. I would certainly like to retake those places at some point but have more urgent worries so no real combat unit can be spared here. The Aleutian islands have been very quiet, though a few US base forces were send to build up a few air bases near Dutch Harbor.
In the Southern Pacific, we’ve had a few misfortunate events i.e. enemy CVs slipping through air search and surprising with some convoy hits. Luckily, the most important convoys have managed to evade although some relatively small number of fighters and base forces were sunk, but the units themselves were saved. Additionally, IJ has occupied several islands in the Marquesas, which have the capability to fly torpedo bombers. It’s quite a central location and can interdict the build up of the bases on the southern route to NZ. I might eventually move some BBs with a lot of fighter support to bomb these places, although for now they could be bypassed, although it’s tricky. And an invasion is some time away still since troops are going elsewhere.
The southern Indian Ocean has been really a pain. I’ve basically dodged the enemy CVs there, which have been mostly patrolling between Perth and Melbourne, while supporting the IJ ground advance from Geraldton (another landing came a bit later at Busselton). We’re now holding at Calgoorlie, and built this air base up to bomb the IJ troops and reduce their effectiveness. Everything that could be evacuated from Perth, was. Now we’ll see how well we can hold this advance, the IJ has practically a free hand supplying the Australian west coast. Japanese air forces have been very effective, but then again, so has the Commonwealth bombers. In the desert, there’s few places to hide. We also have managed to get a few P-40 squadrons to Australia from the IO side, and additionally we’re building an air bridge all the way from PH to Australia which even P-39 could eventually make (in 8 hops).
Small landings have also been made at Broome and Normanton in the northern parts. Supplying Australia with fuel has been painful and resulted in many losses. We also encountered the lend lease sent by Germany in the form of CVs Peter Strasser and Graf Zeppelin and the corresponding Me-109 and Ju-87 planes. Also the Atlantis AMC raiders have been encountered, though one of them has been sunk. Australia was pretty much dry excluding Darwin, we couldn't even refuel subs at Sydney. We got a few fuel convoys through again to buy more time.
Java was invaded in several places and we’re down holding to Bandoeng now (Soerabaja will fall in a few days.)
The two Indian divisions sent to Palembang finally buckled under the intense pressure. We still hold Benkoelen and Padang on the west coast, with a Dutch regiment each, and have sucked all supplies we could out of Palembang. We are retreating everything towards those, but Indian divisions are completely messed up.
China has been pretty static. No further advances in the South, Center or North has been made. Reinforcements have been distributed to the western mountainous sector in Kunming and Paoshan.
Burma. What’s there to say. There is nothing but retreat. We even abandoned Myitkyina in favor of Ledo, and have 4 Chinese divisions headed there as well.
IJ has also been active on Ceylon, where they took Koggala. We are now facing Ki-44 IIa Tojos on Ceylon. Airacobras are dropping like flies, but the Hurricanes seem to be holding their own. In addition to that, IJ managed to drop two divisions at Mangalore. We sent one Indian division to contain it, but due to low morale they retreated. Now there are at least 2 Commonwealth divisions + support + a tank brigade allocated to take Mangalore back. Then we will garrison the coast properly. The UK fleet is a bit whittled down though, so we may have to actually abandon Ceylon if IJ gets more troops through, which it may well do. CV Hornet is at Mombasa and ready to join CVL Hermes and two other UK CVs in the Northern Indian Ocean. IJ has also made a CV raid on Karachi, though it was detected early enough to get the tanker shipping out of the way.
Note: I am not posting every combat report, only those assumed most significant.
