Are we any closer to discovering the mystery Japanese player who's about to lose the north of his/her county?
Doesn't that also trigger Kamikazi's a bit earlier?
When will I stop asking questions?
Sooner?
Later?

I'm pretty sure Zeta16 is from Columbus. Isn't he the one who is crazed about the university called Ohio State?

Yep, he has got me. Now is the time for the counter attack to take it back. I have never gone any where North in any of my Japanese games and this time it burned me. I was caught totally in surprise. The kami's have not actived yet, and I don't think they do until 44 but they are usless any ways. Raver expects a battle there and he will get one. Will it work as I have found out before at this date in the game I have a 10% chance to pull it off. He has two bases I have many and short supply lines. He has long lines, but he is crazy so I have no clue what to expect. And no I do not have dolls, they are bobbleheads.

Shikka remains stubbon and the jap defenders will not simply lay down and die. I had expected that Shikka would be the push-over and that Toyohara would have been the tough-nut to crack. As it is things have turned around and it is Shikka that I am still trying to win.

The air battles over Toyohara continue to be violent and bloody for both sides.

The air war over Toyohara grinds on with each side loosing about 80 planes each per day. At this rate it will boil down to a numbers game. The advantage is in my favour by about 4 to 5....I hope that I am causing a huge drain on his pilot pool. I would guess that Zeta has lost about 500 aircraft since this campaign started.

I would hope that Kendari, Ambonia and some other important oil centers just to the north/NW of this map are all smoking trash heaps!

as you snipe with your heavies!

With this incursion into the DEI and your North Japan venture, you seem to have poor Zeta in trapped between some vice-grips.

Nope, I was never in the pus (had a good look around HMAS Brisbane once)....spent most of my time as a grunt in 5/6 RVR.

I've only just landed on Timor.....it's going to take a month or so to get the airfields up to scratch and supplies shipped in.
Kendari is a jap ghost town as is Amboina. I have the troops to move faster but I am seriously hamstrung but a lack of troopships............all efforts were put towards the invasion of Northern Japan.

However I will comitt to saying that the oil fields of Borneo will be a smoking slag heap within the next few game months.

The kami's have not actived yet, and I don't think they do until 44 but they are usless any ways.

Yup, kami's activate on 1st January 1944, not before.

I'm more interested if Home islands divisions are activated? (there is some rule about invading HI and activating divs, same as in Vietnam) ?

Here I am having just set foot in the Marshalls on Mili Island..........I moved into the Gillberts just before I hit Northern Japan so as to pin Zeta's attention from the North. I guess in some ways it worked !
