Hi all, Hi guys thanks for the comments. Appreciated. Mike - Yes I intend on doing that. I'll detail preparations for my plans below. Nik - wow. You took PM in the height of your power. I wish I was you Elladan - good to see you. China is 100% stable. I control the magic quadrant (sorry guys work pun here referring to Gartner Report on WAN Optimization - which we are top I must say). I'm totally safe in Chungking, Kunming, Chengtu and Yunan. I have Spits/P38's covering all bases and I exceed Faber's AV on the ground by 1/3. Supply is growing steadily due to Burma Road and i'm now repairing some of the resource/HI that Faber damaged during air attacks. I NEVER forsee a ground offensive but maybe an air campaign later on. Food for thought. Hmm. Thanks. Northern route - Problem here is that Faber heavily reinforced this route when I feigned to go there in late 42/early 43. Maybe I will move here a little when encroaching past the Mariana's later on in 44. I still have several RCT's in the region. Niceguy - Agreed. I'm tired of Atolls........ Rob - Mandalay is a stalemate as long as he is in supply and I can't attrite his forces fast enough. Capt. - as mentioned northern route is pretty fortified. As T says it would take too much time for a massive effort. ------------------- Today was a day of detailed checking of my force disposition and operational planning. Burma: Air raids on Mandalay/IJA troop positions. Recon of Rangoon indicates 7 units - 41,000 men. Psychic Faber! Forget it. Operation Bustard is not going for Rangoon now. I am sorry guys but I am wary of Faber knowing my true intentions. I am now looking at alternatives for my troops at Chandpur. I will explain more in due course. ------------------- SRA: Timor is growing every day. Tomorrow Lautem will have 4 airfields. 4th USMC Para's will drop on Kai Island nearing Amboina. Recon Mossies will scour the entire area. I will move further here soon. ------------------- CentPac: Further forces landed at Wake. An AK sank there due to Mine damage. Massive assaults by me throughout the day led to 1500 casualties vs 1000 Japanese. However weak remnants of: 2 x BF, 1 x CD and 1 x Eng. Bn tried to surrender. They were mowed down. We rest tomorrow and then deliberately attack. CV's and SC TF's heading back to PH for R & R. 2 x B24J BG flew from Cooktown to Apamama today in preparation to subjugate Eniwetok. 1 x B24 BG is training at PH for deployment to the Marshalls also. Just a quick glance at LCU's. 9 x Division + ARM, ENG + RCT are at PH now ready to rock and roll. Preparing for the next objective - the Marshalls (location kept for security). I have massive forces available. It's incredible being Allies in 1944. I have liberally allocated RCT's, ARM, ART, ENG across the Marshalls, S Pacific, N Pacific etc and I still have 2 x Division, 2 x RCT and 4 x ARM units at San Francisco awaiting deployment! + gazillions of SeeBee units. I receive 1st USA Art. Group tomorrow. More and more goodies are coming online. --------------------- Air sightings = 18 Air attacks = 1 1 x MSW and an APD arrive in theatre tomorrow.
