It doesn't look as if Wake can be saved. We may still try to make it expensive, but that is about it. Japs invade Borneo again, and assault Soerabaja Allied forces continue to grind down Japanese at Canton island. We wonder about the carrier TF located just NW of Canton. Maybe they are trying to reinforce, or perhaps[8\|]hopefully, evacuate.

Soerabaja falls!. The dutch forces at Soerabaja, though numerous and entrenched, could not resist the Japanese for more than three days. In Borneo, Japanese forces take Sampit, unopposed. In the Philipinnes, Japanese forcs take Cebu. It should be noted that the most of the garrison had been evacuated by submarine and is now recovering in Australia.

I have disbanded and reformed it, but it still refuses to load troops.[&:] It looks to me like you are using the wrong map data file. You cannot load troops and you have a TF which appears to be sailing through the prohibited zone, instead of along the sea channel to/from India. You will need to ensure that both you and your opponent are using the correct map data file for the extended map. Andrew

That one is the one that should be used with the extended map.

The first Battle of Midway finds the American carrier Hornet out numbered 5 to 1. Hornet got off the first strike with over 30 dive-bombers with about 19 Wildcat leading the way. They ran into the CAP of 64 Zeros, and in the end 1 dive-bomber was able to get through and attack the Soryu but missed. The IJN carrier force launched over 100 torpedo bombers with Zero escort and ran into 6 Wildcats on CAP. The Hornet took 7 torpedo hits and disappeared beneath the waves.

We regret to inform that two allied carriers, Lexington and Hornet have been lost at sea to superior Japanese air forces. The Department of the navy reports two enemy carriers damaged in an air battle near Canton Island, by aircraft from USS Lexington. In an unrelated piece of news, Japanese forces have been finally cleared off from Canton Island which has been declared secure. An enemy carrier force still lurks near the island, but is expected to withdraw due to lack of fuel

Another allied carrier is lost. Yorktown is lost near howards Island, after successfully attacking and sinking (we believe) two enemy escort carriers. The enemy main carrier force feinted towards Palmyra, but turned back on itself during the night and appeared within range of Yorktown which had made a high speed run from Suva to attack the withdrawing escort carriers. The Kate torpedoes made short work of the gallant ship. Now only Enterprise, in drydock remains to oppose the designs of the evil Halsey-san and his minions AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 04/29/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack at 48,105 Japanese Ships SS I-28 Allied Ships DD Waters PC Gemma MSW Ipswitch PG Swan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Midway Island , at 97,63 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 13 D3A2 Val x 96 Allied aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses D3A2 Val: 3 destroyed, 55 damaged Allied aircraft losses PBY Catalina: 1 destroyed SBD Dauntless: 3 destroyed Airbase hits 8 Airbase supply hits 4 Runway hits 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Imperial Guards Division, at 33,30 Allied aircraft P-40B Tomahawk x 33 Allied aircraft losses P-40B Tomahawk: 2 destroyed Japanese ground losses: 13 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Aircraft Attacking: 14 x P-40B Tomahawk bombing at 2000 feet 9 x P-40B Tomahawk bombing at 2000 feet 8 x P-40B Tomahawk bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 66th Chinese Corps, at 43,39 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 19 Ki-49 Helen x 15 No Japanese losses Aircraft Attacking: 15 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 15000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 55th/C Division, at 31,29 Allied aircraft Buffalo I x 13 Blenheim I x 12 No Allied losses Aircraft Attacking: 12 x Blenheim I bombing at 9000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Howland Island at 94,95 Allied aircraft F4F-4 Wildcat x 9 SBD Dauntless x 29 TBD Devastator x 8 Allied aircraft losses SBD Dauntless: 2 damaged TBD Devastator: 1 damaged Japanese Ships CVE Taiyo, Bomb hits 6, on fire, heavy damage CVE Hosho, Bomb hits 7, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 95,96 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 14 B5N2 Kate x 20 Allied aircraft F4F-4 Wildcat x 9 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 3 destroyed B5N2 Kate: 3 destroyed, 11 damaged Allied aircraft losses F4F-4 Wildcat: 1 destroyed Allied Ships CV Yorktown, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Midway Island at 97,63 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 50 B5N2 Kate x 62 Japanese aircraft losses B5N2 Kate: 1 destroyed, 27 damaged Allied Ships CL Honolulu, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage CL St. Louis, Torpedo hits 5, on fire, heavy damage CA Minneapolis, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage CL Raleigh, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage DD Pillsbury -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Kweiyang , at 41,34 Allied aircraft I-153c x 5 SB-2c x 4 No Allied losses Aircraft Attacking: 4 x SB-2c bombing at 15000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 95,96 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 6 B5N2 Kate x 3 Japanese aircraft losses B5N2 Kate: 3 damaged Allied Ships DD Russell DD Hughes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 95,96 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 8 B5N2 Kate x 1 No Japanese losses Allied Ships CV Yorktown, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 22 troops unloading over beach at Singkep, 22,53 Japanese ground losses: 144 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 149436 troops, 1406 guns, 114 vehicles Defending force 196605 troops, 1045 guns, 0 vehicles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 49,32 Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 32375 troops, 287 guns, 20 vehicles Defending force 19290 troops, 12 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 4 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 94 casualties reported Guns lost 3 Allied ground losses: 252 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Liuchow Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 20411 troops, 205 guns, 11 vehicles Defending force 18052 troops, 99 guns, 0 vehicles Allied ground losses: 9 casualties reported [image]local://upfiles/6626/4E7D34F3D1374896BEE53020EA52E062.jpg[/image]

Now you know why the Allies don't fart around with KB! CAP model is brutal. Feel sorry for ya Kaleun![:(]

It's one thing to have your CVs sitting at anchor during most of 1942 while the Japanese run rampant. It's another thing to have your CVs sitting at the bottom of the Pacific during most of 1942 while the Japanese can run anywhere they want without fear... Dave Baranyi

veji1 -> RE: Battle of Howards island (2/4/2006 12:24:30 PM)
my God, you guys should take a break from the game and come back fresn ( althoughi guess ADavidB did ). Of course throwing the CVs piecemeal to the KB for her to chew is suicidal, but docking them in port for all 42 is just plain.... boring !! What's the fun if the japs don't see a single US CV till 43, and then the US don't see any jap CV for the rest of the war ? 4 Us CV used wisely while KB or part of KB is spotted somewhere can be deadly efficient and allow the allies to take a foothold in the Gilberts for example very early... I don't mean to be rude and I understand from my feeble experience that my record doesn't compare to those of Ron and ADavidB, but for me this game is still a game, and is time consuming enough for it not to be boring as well... Sorry for you Kaleun, but this will make for a great battle latter in the war..

ADM Halsey -> RE: Battle of Howards island (2/5/2006 7:44:52 PM)
I have another game going where 2 American carriers ran into the Japanese carrier force. I lost the Lexington and Enterprise but put 2 to 3 Japanese carriers out of action for a while. They lost the bulk of there good pilots during that battle since the Zeros did not escort the bombers. I was where you are Pedro before but you can come back from this. Good Luck!
