July 11, 1942 Not much Heard sinking sounds during turn, nothing on sunk ship list. Possibly the PB I hit yesterday.

July 12, 1942 Nothing in game happening It did snow today. This snow will probably be here next May. [image]local://upfiles/4176/F5F19E9AC29D4156BDC03498A348598A.jpg[/image]

Nomad -> RE: July 13, 1942 (11/10/2021 1:31:44 AM)
July 13, 1942 Nothing happened today. Here is a screen shot of the South Pacific Area. I realize it is large, but a smaller version is hard to see. This is a 75% version, the 50% was hard to read. As you can see, I still own Port Moresby and I expect to hold it forever. I am moving forces slowly into Milne Bay I hold Noumea, Efante, and Luganville with good forces, at least a division on each with ARM and ART. And of course base forces. Suva, Nadi, and Pago Pago are also strongly held. At this time I am concentrating on building the forward bases and training my pilots. The two base he holds in the Ellice Islands are not manned according to two recon flights done earlier. I will probably occupy them soon as soon as my CVs finish up their upgrades.

July 15, 1942 And another day without much happening.

Nomad -> RE: July 16, 1942 (11/10/2021 11:01:16 PM)
July 16, 1942 Nothing to report

Nomad -> RE: July 19, 1942 (11/11/2021 8:12:34 PM)
July 19, 1942 Actually, I forgot about this: Stupid mistake on my part. TF 243 encounters mine field at Singapore (50,84) Allied Ships SS KXVII, Mine hits 1, on fire, heavy damage

Nomad -> RE: July 20, 1942 (11/11/2021 8:12:54 PM)
July 20, 1942 Nothing

Nomad -> RE: July 21, 1942 (11/11/2021 9:14:37 PM)
July 21, 1942 Nothing at all

Nomad -> RE: July 22, 1942 (11/12/2021 2:35:11 PM)
July 22, 1942 Not a lot today: I wonder how much damage was done. It was a 250lb SAP bomb. I do have an ASW TF sitting on this sub Hudson IIIa from No.62 Sqn RAF attacking SS I-124 at 27,42 SS I-124 is reported HIT Hudson IIIa from No.62 Sqn RAF attacking SS I-124 at 27,42

I doubt the bomb sank I-124 but it probably left her in precarious shape. Sometimes heavy damage seems to increase the chances of a sub being detected - more underwater noise emitted or more surface time - abstracted of course.

Nomad -> RE: July 23, 1942 (11/12/2021 6:21:36 PM)
July 23, 1942 Interesting, same hex, different id on the sub: all hits were minor damage reported. No attacks by aircraft today, the Hudsons reported two sightings. ASW attack near Trivandrum at 27,42 Japanese Ships SS I-157, hits 2 Allied Ships DE Sutlej DD Express ============================================

Nomad -> RE: July 24, 1942 (11/12/2021 9:31:35 PM)
July 24, 1942 Got one: Sinking sounds and yelling men during turn. Sub attack near Mussau Island at 104,119 Japanese Ships PB Noshiro Maru #2, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage xAK Mantai Maru PB Fumi Maru #3 Allied Ships SS S-45

Nomad -> End of July 1942 sit rep - PNG and Solomons (11/12/2021 11:35:59 PM)
I am going to be doing a series of sit reps over the next few days to better show where I am and talk a bit about where I am going Here we have PNG and the Solomon Islands ( plus New Briton and a few other islands ) I control Port Moresby with a sizeable force. He has not ever attacked. I have control of Milne Bay. I have 2/3 of an Australian Infantry Division there with construction troops and a BF. The base has 300 mines and two ACMs to support them/ I have a single Brigade at Buna with the Rabaul BF marching there. Lae is showing 400 troops, Finschhafen is shown as empty, Gasmata 1640 troops, and even Rabaul is only showing 3 units with 8000 troops. There are 11 fighters at Rabaul. It appears that he has taken these bases but is not really defending them. I really do not have the necessary forces to advance much more. I am leery of too far since I do not know where KB is right now. I should also point out that there are no aux aircraft showing at Rabaul. He has taken a number of islands in the Solomon Island chain, but I have no idea at this time if he has garrisoned them or not. I plan on using FT to occupy Tagula Island and or Rossel Island in the future. That will give me a base close enough to really recon the Solomon Islands.

Nomad -> RE: End of July 1942 sit rep - South Pacific (11/12/2021 11:53:24 PM)
Here is the South Pacific. I hold the New Hebrides with the 1st Marine Division and other units. I do not expect to lose it. the same holds for Nouema, Efate, Nadi, Suva, and Pago Pago. All have at lease one Division and other support troops. I am still building the Ports, Forts, and Airfields everywhere. It is only the end of July and I do not have overwhelming numbers of Engineers yet. In a few months that will change. I have just sent off a force to retake Funafuti. It is showing as empty. My DS will be providing cover for this op. This will provide a more Northern PBY base. [image]local://upfiles/4176/E89CF5A5C55847E68EC5B6704C18F90C.jpg[/image]

Nomad -> RE: End of July 1942 sit rep - Aleutian Islands (11/13/2021 12:01:55 AM)
One more for tonight - the Aleutian Islands. Not a lot to talk about. I have a division at Umnak Island with a BF and EAB I have a Canadian Brigade moving to Adak. I have not seen any activity in this area at all. The nice thing about having that extra 25 PPs per day is I can buy out things that I might not have in other games, like the Canadian Brigades to help occupy the Aleutians.

Nomad -> July 25, 1942 (11/13/2021 3:13:30 AM)
July 25, 1942 Nothing much happened today. I sent off 2 ACMs to Adak and a minelaying TF with 240 MK6 mines. That might slow him down if he invades. I am getting the feeling more and more that he has decided to stop expanding and start digging in.

Nomad -> RE: July 26, 1942 (11/13/2021 3:40:45 PM)
July 26, 1942 Nothing happening, I hope. Funafuti invasion landing tomorrow.

Nomad -> RE: July 27, 1942 (11/13/2021 5:49:35 PM)
July 27, 1942 A dud: Sub attack near Wakkanai at 124,48 Japanese Ships PB Magan Maru xAK Magane Maru xAK Mikage Maru PB Okuyo Maru #2 Allied Ships SS Silverside ============================= mines at Pago Pago TF 145 encounters mine field at Pago Pago (148,161) Allied Ships DD Case AK Titania, Mine hits 1, heavy damage 1 mine cleared I love that line 1 mine cleared - is that a new one or the one she hit? She has no fires, so should be ok, but it will be dicey to move her to a repair shipyard in the future. She has 53 major flood damage. ===================================================================== Funafuti was retaken today, I do not want to stay around long in case KB show up I am not really ready to take on KB right now.

T Rav -> RE: July 27, 1942 (11/13/2021 7:27:39 PM)
Not sure how it works in the game, but there is an old saying; every ship can be a mine sweeper... once. Ciao, T Rav

Nomad -> RE: July 28, 1942 (11/13/2021 8:15:07 PM)
July 28, 1942 more mines at Karachi, I have a local minesweeper TF there and they did their job well TF 15 encounters mine field at Karachi (40,8) Allied Ships AMc Karachi AMc Ahmedabad AMc Cuttack AMc Cochin 18 mines cleared =================================================== Not much else, swept many of the mines at Pago Pago. He must be reading witpqs's AAR: 2/22nd Special Base Force is loaded on xAP Umezaki Maru moving to Daito Shoto. Preparing for my invasion. [;)]

BBfanboy -> RE: July 27, 1942 (11/14/2021 4:03:45 PM)
I think the mine hit counts as one cleared. You have two options for AK Titania - repair all the system damage and then island-hop to PH or bring in one of the floating drydock AORDs that you get in 1943. I think Titania can be upgraded to an AKA in 1943 so I would choose the first option to be able have her at a place where she can upgrade in June 1943.

Nomad -> RE: July 29, 1942 (11/14/2021 5:17:00 PM)
July 29, 1942 Swept the mines at Pago Pago and Karachi. All the troops are unloaded at Funafuti, there is still 2000 or so supply to unload. I will give them another day, but the DS is leaving. There are no highly important ships in the amphibious TF. No sign of KB and I moved PBYs in last turn. I will try to island hop Titania after I get all the minor damage repaired. ** wrong date

Nomad -> RE: July 30, 1942 (11/15/2021 2:13:57 AM)
July 30, 1942 Booms and Duds Sub attack near Toyohara at 125,47 Japanese Ships xAK Kamitu Maru, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage xAK Magane Maru xAK Kensin Maru PB Okuyo Maru #2 Allied Ships SS Grampus ============================ Sub attack near Toyohara at 125,47 Japanese Ships xAK Kamitu Maru, heavy damage Allied Ships SS Grampus SS Grampus launches 2 torpedoes ================================== Sub attack near Toyohara at 125,48 Japanese Ships xAK Sansei Maru PB Okuyo Maru #2 Allied Ships SS Wahoo ================================== Sub attack near Wakkanai at 124,48 Japanese Ships xAK Sansei Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage xAK Magane Maru xAK Mikage Maru PB Okuyo Maru #2 Allied Ships SS Silversides =========================== Neither showed up on sunk ship list, but I did hear sinking sounds late in the turn ** corrected date

BBfanboy -> RE: July 29, 1942 (11/15/2021 5:18:46 AM)
Looks like a laden resource convoy, considering the location and the Y hex coordinate increasing (southbound). Your subs are doing pretty good using the technology available in 1042! [&o]

Nomad -> RE: July 29, 1942 (11/15/2021 11:34:35 AM)
Well, the 9 and 0 are next to each other.
