Germany has fallen, nonetheless the Japanese sting here and there and are still a nuisance, Ethiopia will soon be liberated again, probably the japanese will evacuate if they don't want to meet their doom.
Manchuria will be lost next turn, the red hordes are beggining their expansion. Do we want a Red World?
Made a mistake and moved supplies before transports so Midway remains japanese controled for the moment, Wake garrison was destroyed. Hopefully next turn the USM will have new bases in the Pacific.

Turn sent to Tim and Pholonti.

Fall 1943:

Japan:

Manchuria and Korea are evacuated. Could have tried to defend those next turn but I can't afford much losses as the Russian can. Still we make him pay his backstabing by bombing his industries and rail lines in Vladivostock. Good training for our pilots who became Elite in the process.

Ethiopia is also evacuated after the ignominous invasion of Saudi Arabia a peace loving neutral country. US Imperialists showing their true face. One transport destroyed for surely one of ours going to be destroyed next turn.

Tokyo Rose is proud to announce a great breakthrough in our scientist research for a new extremely powerfull bomb that soon would be dropped on US cities...

Now we are waiting the end which is very far still. 3 more long years to wait possibly. In the meantime Russia can gobble most of China and even India unless the US begin to rush a bit but it took them 2 years to avenge Pearl Harbor so we begin to learn Cyrillic alphabet instead

Manchuria and Korea were taken with no resistance, we note that the JP has deployed its army back to defend the island nation ... looks like a tough nut to crack.

Midway and Wake were retaken this quarter. JIN was erased from the Palau's sea zone, they were probably running home to their mummies

HC is surprised a TF was lost in the Red Sea, thought there was op-fire. Well two japanese TF were sent to the dockyards, this can even be better than sinking just one, Japan will soon be suffering from lack of resources and will start dismantling the BB.

With 5x in production starting next turn WA hope to fill the cassualties suffered in the first four years of war. It's a miracle I have survived, had Tim bombed the factory in Scotland the world could very well be now all grey and red.

Nonetheless the Japanese sting here and there and are still a nuisance



Winter 1943:

Japan:

Following the light minded way of the US to acknowledge the honor of our soldiers we needed to remind them we will be the one giving some teachings

Indeed our navy did take quite a beating around Palau but it's interesting to notice that the Allied now have no HVY Fleet remaining and we have almost as many light fleets as them.

Also to notice that now both sides as 2 Carriers left as we just sunk 4 US Carriers... yes and this time we have the proof as you can see in the screenshots.

Our 3 carriers including one send back from India in a hurry did strike a counterattack at the 6 US carriers sinking 3 of those for no losses during the attack but a carrier damage during the counterattack. Our long range zeroes did provide quite an efficient aircover. We send our submarines with not much success but our Imperial navy did the rest sinking another carrier at gun point. Now who's running for their mummies

Stay out of the pacific Mr. Roosevelt. This is just a small show of what we can do. Sorry for the eye

After loosing Manchuria we decide to stop Russia from going further with such small forces.

That's all folks. Turn send to Russia.

Oh boy what a blow , so hard I had to retire for a while to lick my wounds and consider if it was worth continuing .
Well CINPAC Generals had been dismissed, they're lucky we are not the Axis powers or they'd be under the ground for high treason
This is what happened to my belonged CVs:
As you can see I had 6 CAGs defending against 2 japanese ones and 2 HB, but unfortanately the japs had 7 evasion and got away unscratched.

Jap loses were 1 HB and BB destroyed, 1 BB and a TF damaged.
Repositioning US troops in the Pacific, and rebuilding damaged infrastructure to achieve 120% production.

Edit: Some attrition from the soviets on Japan will be welcome, they're building a huge airforce. The A-bomb is in progress, we're catching on the delay due to England occupation.

Spring 1944:

Japan:

Indeed we did a great welcome to the mighty Red Airforce which to her credit deserves her name with a big bloody noose

The A-Bomb will surely be coming in handy against Moscow. We would suggest to Stalin to switch alliance and help us to get rid of US Imperialism

Air Raid over the Indian Ocean did force us to withdraw our navy and after the India Free Zone Government begged for our help we did send a Liberation Army to block the easy possibility for the Brits to reoccupy India

We are waiting for the US next move

The WA take another little step towards Japan, The Marianas have fallen and our engineers have already begun the construction of runways for our B-17 soon to be replaced by B-29. Mustangs P-51 fly cap to protect transports.

Summer 1944:

Japan:

Japan is hard pressed by Sea and Land. Nothing much we can do on the land side or we need to stop defending our New Empire against possible US invasions. Beijing is lost and Shanghai will indeed be next.

On the Sea side we noticed that no fighters were left to cover Pearl Harbor and 2 Carriers were waiting nicely along dockside. We did send our 2 remaining Elite Cags to strike from the North West evading the CAP cover around Midway that did come from Hawai. After the raid luckily sinking those 2 Carriers they will have a bad surprise when landing back to Hawai Funny enough I noticed before that attacking Carriers when in a port doesn't destroy the CAGS as well like when at sea but it does suppress the counterattack

Results 3 Japanese Carriers at sea against 0 for the US. Too bad they have so many fighters.

To slow down the US attack we used our Navy to clear the Transports from the Sea and force the Fighters back to their airfields. It was then just a matter to force the transport retreat where I wanted and sink quite a few of those. Think this whole part need a rewrite of the rules but as well on the retreat of transports. Most of the time even if you bring 3 or 4 fleets you will sink only 1 transports before they retreat.

With great satisfaction we had one Carrier turning Elite by sinking 1 transport at gun point. Our submarines did quite well.

One HVY Bomber was sacrified to the Emperor so Wake airforce would be unsupplied for next turn move.

Fall 1944:

Japan:

2 more years to hold but that will prove too much. Nothing to do to stop the Red Army while I need to regroup against the new navy the US did bring in Hawai plus 38 pts of supply Never thought there was so much supply in the whole world

In the meantime we did some clay shooting against US planes in the Mariana. While we will come back as being only damaged the US planes were destroyed due to some transports problems

The ground troops did suffer the same fate as well as the runway for the bombers that should have bomb Japan. We wonder where they are or are those burning as well

One more turn with still quite a decent Empire but from now on it will shrink fast I think

These were japan's cassualties in the Pacific: 2 TF sunk 1 damaged; 1 sub damaged; 1 Fighter down another damaged.
Japan's down to 9 TF iirc, 7 of them in spotted areas. Heavy bomber land attack up to 8.
3 more turns to try to make Japan surrender, it won't be a decisive victory Japan and Germany achieved 2nd watermark (mainly Japan).

If there is a WW3, I don't think Ieven want to bother with it, I might aswell spare more deaths and sue for peace.

Absolutely nothing

War
It’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants to die

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War has shattered many young men’s dreams
Made them disabled bitter and meanlife is too precious to be fighting wars
Each day
War can’t give life it can only take it away

War
It’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord there’s gotta be a better way
That’s better than

Winter 1945:

Japan:

Russia was beginning to feel a bit too confident to advance against Changsa with 1 INF and against Foochow with 1 TANK and 2 ART but leaving no defense in Shanghai. In a sense with the consequent airforce Russia is building in Vladivostok it's too wonder if it was not the intended trap I did spring in but what the heck I need to keep my Chinese resources working for my factories so not much choice.

So we did bomb with our Elite TAC and Elite HVY Fleets the 2 ART to a damage status. We did the same but with too many planes needed against the INF in Changsa so after re-occuying Changsa and Shanghai we just had to push back that TANK to the Sea and liberate Foochow as well. We might loose a few transports in the process but it begin to seem the least of my problems

Well at least we can still see the superiority of the Japanese combined arm forces but for how long

Especially that since you bombed my factory in India and no indication of an invasion from that side I don't care much of keeping troops there and seems Russia have a real pleasure to move on and grab the pieces.

Hope I can reach Winter 1946 but I think it will all go fast now.

Playing very conservative I have to keep my assets very well if we don't want victory to slip from our hands which could very well happen with Pholonthi San

In this turn I'm just trying to choke Japans economy, sunk/damaged a couple of TF, some help from our still to be brother's in arms in pulverizing Japans airforce would be most welcome so next turn we could try for a full blockade.

A-bomb is almost ready.

Turn sent to Polonthi.

Spring 1945:

Japan:

Choking the Japan economy indeed is... well not yet but next turn will be bad with 9 US subs nearby. The US carriers are still in Pearl Harbor still scared of what happened to the Lexington, Yorktown, Enterprise, Wasp and other 2 Carriers sunk. Well I'm gloating with past exploits as not sure what I can do anymore. Russia has been pushed back but now there is not much need to keep so many troops in China. The mother Isles need to be defended as well.

The Russian airforce could so some damage but we still outnumber them 3 to 2. Now they will just die for Roosevelt as the A-Bomb is anyway going to end this.

In the meantime Bombay is occupied by the Soviet Union which means half of India is under Stalin thumb.

One of our subs did survive a few attacks and turn Elite by sinking yet another US transports. One Light Fleet did sink one more but got damaged in the process.

As next turn is Summer 1945 and the A-Bomb is not yet ready it should mean surrendering in Fall 1945 only and so it would be an Allied Substantive victory. Guess it's not that bad afterall.
