kaleun -> RE: Multiple allied offenssive operations (1/25/2006 5:18:22 AM) Multiple allied offenssive operations aim to turn the tide for the Japanese empire. Offenssive operations in the Admiralty islands, Maloelap in the Marshalls are in progress. Additional attacks are planned for within the next few days or weeks at the most. "We shall stretch Japanese lines of supplies and military capabilities to the breaking point" Adm King said today in a rare interview. Enemy bombing raids have again rendered the airfield at Akyab inoperative, however there is a heavy cost to be paid for this as allied long range fighters exact a heavy toll among the enemy aircraft and crews.

kaleun -> RE: Multiple allied offenssive operations (2/9/2006 12:32:55 AM) The British attempt on Andaman island failed miserably, due mostly to lack of transports. The invasion of Maloelap has been costly in terms of ships, and has cost the allies two Essex class carriers, as well as two light carriers. However the marines are holding on on the island. The invasion at Admiralty island is proceeding slowly. With base forces landed, and significant land forces, we only await adequate attrition on the defenders to expel them from their positions. They are lacking in supply and should not take too much longer to be eliminated.
