Japan – April 11th/June 6th, 1943 The submarine war continues with heavy casualties on both sides. Significant numbers of Japanese merchantmen have been sunk, countered by an equally heavy cost amongst submarine crews. Japanese naval intelligence has been very busy, first locating the British battleships Prince of Wales and Repulse at Calcutta, allowing a carrier task force to sweep in bombing the ships in port for the kill and also providing notice of the movement of the American submarines. At least ten groups have been sunk in the last two months and hope is high that American resources will need to be committed to new carriers and landing craft in the future.

Still, with seven experienced armies on the main front and several divisions marching through the south of the country, India must be relieved soon if the Allies are to stay in the war much longer.

Japan – June 6th/July 18th, 1943 The Americans have abandoned strikes on our merchant shipping and have decided to test their strength by besieging the island of Enewetak. The destroyer groups that were skirmishing with submarines are wiped out by the American submarine groups and two carrier fleets are offshore with a total of 10 CV/CVL's. [image]https://i.imgur.com/NRVMdnE.png[/image] Although we do have nine of our own carriers in the area, the decision is made not to seek a decisive battle against the Americans over a strategically unimportant rock and instead, the first carrier fleet makes a hit and run attack against one of the American groups. The mission is a minor tactical victory as the Americans are caught of guard losing the Yorktown II and the battleships Mississippi and Tennessee. Akagi does take heavy damage from the American counterstrike but makes it back into port at Truk whilst the rest of our fleet is untouched. With this obvious commitment of the entire American fleet, our carriers in the Indian Ocean move to Borneo ready to form a force 15 carriers strong in the Pacific Ocean to seek a war ending fight in the next engagement. [image]https://i.imgur.com/zsB046C.png[/image] In India, although the frontlines are stable, our divisions advancing from the south threaten to cut the enemy off from their lines of supply at Bombay and Delhi which should force a withdrawal to the interior of the country.

Four elite armies are regrouping to carry out the task and we hope to capture the city in August before winter snows arrive. [image]https://i.imgur.com/EkYfIa6.jpeg[/image]

Japan – June 6th/July 18th, 1943 The Americans land a corps sized formation at Enewetak, capturing the island with the help of a naval bombardment. It does however cost them another carrier as the USS Bunker Hill is sunk by our carrier task force. The fall of the island and its defenders in exchange for two CV's is a trade we are more than willing to make at this point in the war. The Americans have lost seven fleet carriers so far and may not reach equal numbers until the Royal Navy arrives in 1944 to shift the balance of power. [image]https://i.imgur.com/kneO752.png[/image]

It's looking like another victory for the glorious empire of the rising sun to me.

Is this over?

I hope not. YueJin has not logged in for 15 days, I hope he is doing well.
