LT Commander Reid, counts his troubles. On one side, his outpost, Christmas Island on the Indian Ocean, is still untaken by the Japanese, but is isolated, far from any friendly base, without an operating airbase and supplies are running low. The positive side is that he got unexpected reinforcements; the Dutch forces from Sumatra arrived a few months ago; he now had some infantry and support forces to defend his outpost, but they are demoralized, unhappy and quite unwilling to put in much effort in defending the island, or building the airbase. And the Japanese lurk nearby. Maybe, if the Japanese are finally driven out of the Indian Ocean he may get some real engineers and some supplies; some gin might make the Dutch guys happier, perhaps

Akyab is a port city in Burma; connected to Cox Bazaar, the closest “city” by a jungle track, it would be unimportant, except for one thing: Its airfields; large, and roomy, they allow for even the largest bombers to be based there. From Akyab, escorted bombers can reach Rangoon and Moulmein, an can deny the Gulf of Bengal to enemy shipping.
That is, if there were any bombers in Akyab, which there aren’t. Only the Hurricane fighters are based there at this time. 2 squadrons of fresh new fighters have arrived at the base; one of them, only yesterday.
In the morning, Japanese fighter bombers attack the base, 13 Tonys in total attack the airbase and are met by 23 Hurricanes. In a brisk battle, the allied fighters score several hits on the enemy planes, but there are no losses on the Japanese side. One Hurricane is lost to enemy fire and several are damaged; but no damage ensues to the airfields or service buildings. Another day in the war.
The reconnaissance planes out of Tricomalee encounter, less than one hundred miles away, a nasty surprise. An enemy battleship task force approaching Tricomalee. The patrol aircraft do not bother to encode their transmissions. The enemy position and course are broadcast in the clear. It is too late for the Japanese to deceive the British command. The only possible objective for the battlewagons is Tricomalee. Once again, the RAF and Royal Navy, with some help from US aircraft based in Colombo, scramble everything that will fly and launch raid after raid against the armored enemy ships. As the first waves of aircraft approach the battleships, the recon birds discover barges near the big ships. It may be that the enemy is trying to resupply Tricomalee, or perhaps, evacuate troops. It does not matter. The aircraft attack the enemy ships. Hyuga shrugs off a bomb, but the obsolete Swordfish manage to score with three torpedoes. Kirishima, Hyei and Kiruma are also hit by bombs that bounce harmlessly off their heavy armor; Yamashiro, the white mountain, is not so lucky, three bombs hit it’s superstructure, with no damage, but a torpedo scores too, and there is some damage; how much, remains to be seen.

Status: offline 		Capt Wayne knocks on Admiral Nimitz’s office. The Admiral hasn’t been cordial for a while. Perhaps he regrets his decision to send the four carriers on their ill fated mission to the Indian Ocean. Four fleet carriers lost, in exchange for one carrier, Hiyo, and a light carrier Ryujo. Not a good result, not good at all, and that’s not counting the three carriers lost by the British cousins: Formidable, Indomitable and the light carrier Hermes.

Chester Nimitz is however in better humor this morning: “Wayne,” he tells him, “the Brits are trying to repay us the favor; they are sending Victorious to our side of the ocean. ETA Panama, about a month. The light carrier Independence should also be arriving at Panama just about the same time.”

Status: offline 		November 19 1945 In the dark night, the waves form a phosphorescent line, separating the beach from the sea. From the trees at the edge of the sea, British eyes look over the sea and the beach. They can barely see the camouflaged Japanese positions; the enemy hangs on, determined, despite their isolation; a formidable enemy indeed. Against the starlit sky, dark silhouettes approach the beach. The enemy barges are arriving. A burst of light, and an explosion. One of the barges hit a mine. The English scout smiles and withdraws, unseen, into the night. Back in the Pacific, the enemy bombers approach Kavieng at low altitude. At 6000 feet their bombing will be accurate and deadly. The enemy bombers arrive on schedule. Their accurate attacks have cratered the runway and destroyed the service buildings. Kavieng airbase is unserviceable and the P38s from Buin cannot protect the airbase against the determined Japanese attacks. 38 twin engine bombers and 16 Tony fighter bombers line up to attack the defenseless airbase again. There is a difference today however. As soon as the enemy aircraft line up on their bombing runs, the 198th US Coast AA opens up with thirteen 75 mm guns and sixty two 50 cal Brownings.  Major Brown jumps up and down encouraging his men to fire faster, if not more accurately. 21 bombers are damaged by the AA. He chomps on his cigar. “Tomorrow we will get one of the b*stards,” he mumbles. Further south, near Lae, the light cruiser Atlanta, and a destroyer, escort three cargo ships, bringing desperately needed supplies to the men at the base and a PT boat tender.  The air suddenly fills with aircraft. Twenty six twin engine bombers, Betties, attack the convoy.  Atlanta takes four torpedoes and one of the merchants, Don Isidro, takes one. Fifteen Nicks attack with bombs, but they all, fortunately miss. The men watch the sky, it is still early and a second wave is not just a possibility. Indeed, shortly before nightfall, the second wave arrives. There are two allied fighters, P 38-Fs out of Gili that provide a token defense. The Betties score a torpedo hit on the PT boat tender Taney that promptly sinks. The ships arrive at their destination, during the night.

“With only two carriers available, we cannot risk pushing further into New Guinea and Rabaul. We cannot risk them in the vicinity of Truk and the Admiralties.”
Nimitz grunts, he knows that already, he wishes Wayne would get to the point.
“We do have an opportunity to attack, elsewhere,” with a small flourish, he is only a captain after all even if his Admiral allows him a lot of latitude; he uncovers a map of the Marshall Islands.
“We will need one Marine division, two regimental force teams and two base forces….”

Status: offline 		The enemy barges, ignoring the minefield plod on, into the night. The Japanese forces in Colombo set up an artillery barrage, but the coastal defense guns, warned by the alert coast watcher open fire on the defenseless barges sinking five of them; they are near the beach however and the soldiers trapped in them manage, in many cases, to wade ashore, minus equipment. Even a Dutch submarine, O24 gets in on the fun shelling and sinking a sixth barge.  What the few reinforcements, elements of the 1st Division, without much supply can do to help the Japanese effort here is questionable.

The Japanese barrage doesn’t do much to suppress the allied forces; they easily repulse a shock attack by the desperate enemy and retort with a methodical, deliberate counterattack; the enemy’s 1st division, cut off from their forces and supply, surprisingly surrenders.

After sunset, LtCol Pringle reviews his intelligence reports. After the army HQ transferred out to the mainland, he finds himself in charge both of the army and naval forces in the beleaguered island. A message, underlined in red calls his attention:

“Enemy carrier force stop one carrier two light carriers stop 400 miles E Tricomalee stop cruiser escorts.”

The message is timed at 1800h too late to do anything tonight. Orders are given and plans made. If the enemy carriers approach within range, they will throw the kitchen sink at them. It will be a long night.

Pilots and crews await, in the ready rooms, chain smoking cigarettes, awaiting the order to attack. The bombers are loaded for naval attack, fueled, armed and ready at their dispersal revetments. The recon birds and the seaplanes departed at first light, to locate the enemy carriers. Time passes, slowly.
The weather is bad, storm clouds cover most of the Indian Ocean, and the patrol aircraft fly over the clouds, trying to find a hole in them, to peer at the waves below. The storm stretches along a wide swath of sea; it would be suicide to try to fly under it. A lone Catalina finds a clearing and under it, the enemy carriers. Ducking in and out of clouds, the coded report is sent.
“Contact, enemy carriers, 300 miles east Tricomalee”
The Catalina returns to base, low in fuel, and a second aircraft takes over the patrol station.
Too far, way too far for anything but the four engine bombers to attack; the weather, too, is too dicey. The pilots and crews wait in vain. At 1600 hrs the order to stand down comes. It will not be today; perhaps tomorrow.

“The name of the operation will be ‘Double Punch’.”
Wayne points to the map of the Marshall Islands where a yellow fork indicates the proposed axis of the planned allied attack. With faintly disguised optimism, he continued his presentation:
“We will use the 1st Marine division, as the invasion force. It has been sitting at Buin for a while and, since there are no invasions planned, in that theater for quite a while, it is not needed there. An Army division is stationed at Buin with artillery and support against any Japanese counterattack.”
He continued, “The 51st US Base force will deploy from Noumea to Baker Island, and the 538 USAAF Base force, currently in Frisco will also deploy to Baker as soon as transport arrives.”
“It is risky attacking two atolls with only one Marine Division,” someone objected from the rear.
“The two atolls are very lightly held,” Wayne answered, “they should not hold out more than a day or so. The plan calls for the 1st Marine to attack Maloelap first and, as soon as the base is held and secured, they will be replaced by a regimental combat team. The Marines will re-embark then, and immediately hit Jaluit, where, again they will be replaced by a regiment sized force. The Marines will then re-embark and transfer to Honolulu for R&R.”
“What about the enemy carriers?”
“At this time they are located in the Indian Ocean, supporting the Japanese fiasco in Ceylon. Saratoga is en route to Baker Island, on her way to Pearl for a refit and upgrade; she will support the invasion and then proceed to Pearl. ”
After a few moments, Admiral Nimitz spoke:
“Let’s do it then.”

Status: offline 		It is unfortunate that this game stalled for a very long time, (more than a year) because Warspite was unable to play. I lost the info on a big chunk of the game.
The short story is that, because the US was really unable to push further in the Marshalls or NG, and Japan was running rampant in the Indian ocean, Nimitz sent over two task forces, with four carriers, two battleships etc, to help the British. They had some success, scored hits on several Japanese carriers, and even sunk one. Unfortunately losses were heavy. It did help turn the tide in the IO, allowing desperately needed reinforcements to get to Ceylon, and also sinking a large amount of Japanese merchant tonnage.

As mentioned above, HMS Victorious will appear in Panama, as a loan from the Royal Navy. Probably not in time to assist with "Double Punch" though.

The large fleet of transports loads very fast; in less than a day, the 538th US Base force and the amphibious command load in the multitude of ships that have just docked. Usual precautions are dispensed with and the ships fuel and load at the same time. MPs run about the docks in a spirited effort to keep the GIs from smoking. The GIs run about the docks in an equally spirited effort to smoke their Lucky Strikes and foil the MPs.
The fleet will sail after dark.

Allied aircraft, with orders to strafe, fly low around the beleaguered island strafing any barge in sight. They also hit a destroyer task force that is approaching Tricomalee from the northeast. The barges pay a punishing toll, in their efforts to keep the troops in Ceylon supplied. Or perhaps, they are trying to re-embark them?
Cpt Costis, commodore of the RN task force centered on the light cruiser Enterprise intercepts one of these barges on the way to Colombo; not surprisingly, the barge is blown out of the water. A large barge task force is approaching Tricomalee from the south; Costis will try and intercept it as it lands.

Costis stands on the darkened bridge of the light cruiser Enterprise. His eyes try to pierce the night; somewhere, nearby, enemy barges are landing supplies to the besieging enemy at Tricomalee. It is ironic that his small task force represents almost all the surface forces the once mighty Royal Navy can field in this theater. An older light cruiser, Trenton and a transport destroyer, Fox, had some success earlier on, interrupting the evacuation of some enemy forces from Colombo. He holds his binoculars to his eyes and adds his eyes to the lookouts, scanning the sea.
A message from the radar room announces the presence of enemy ships.
“Too large for barges,” the radar operator adds.
Almost at the same time, the lookouts begin reporting targets. A cruiser, 7 or 8 destroyers. Undoubtedly, a superior force.
He bites on his unlit pipe and orders:
“Battle stations. Full steam ahead.”
Just as the ship’s deck trembles with the increase in power, he adds:
“Tally Ho!”
After the blobs on the horizon resolve, the force opposing him consists only of one light cruiser and six destroyers. Those are great odds for the Royal Navy.
“We got them!” His fists hold on to the railing as his ship’s guns open fire.
Admiral Nelson would be proud. “Never mind the maneuvers. Go right at them!” he has been quoted as saying. It seems that all the British captains took his advice to heart tonight. The five destroyers and the light cruiser simply open up their throttles and charge the enemy fleet, at flank speed and firing with all their guns and, as soon as the range closes, they let go with their torpedoes too.
The Japanese return fire too; Enterprise takes one hit, so does Gridley and Napier takes three. Damage is slight except for the single hit on Gridley that causes severe damage to the engines. The Brits however get the better of the exchange. CL Abukuma takes two hits, DD Asagumo one, and a torpedo, Hatakaze two and Numakaze one.
Both tasks forces break from combat. The British head home, to Colombo, secure under their fighter cover. For the Japanese, it is going to be a long, hard slog, back to their bases in the Andamans. The question is: How fast can they go? Can they get out of range of the British air before daylight?

The sun rises in the morning; the waters around Tricomalee are clear of enemy shipping. Attack aircraft fly over allied and Japanese troops alike. Liberators flying high overhead, Hurricanes and Beauforts on the deck. They did not wait for the scout aircraft to spot the enemy ships. There is only one direction the Japanese warships can go: North East.
They find the enemy; Abukuma and Hatakaze, damaged after their encounter with Costis’ squadron are too close to the island. Too close, and too slow. 26 Liberators attack from high altitude and, despite the altitude, score three hits on the light cruiser. The Hurricanes strafe at low altitude suppressing the antiaircraft fire. There are no hits on the aircraft that return to base counting coup, big time.
The tired Japanese sailors do not get a respite. Hardly have the Liberators left that the alarm sounds again. 9 Wellingtons attack at 5000 feet and 20 B25s attack on the deck. Both ships take one more bomb hit apiece.
In Colombo, Hurricane IID fighter bombers attack the barges that try to evacuate Japanese servicemen. The Hispano cannons shred the Daihatsu barges, and the RAF pilots even score a bomb hit. The barges have no choice but to unload their wretched cargo; the men return to the beach. Rescue, from that far off island, less and less likely with each passing day.
What the Japanese soldiers do not know is that in Mannargudi the last defenders surrender to the overwhelming allied attack. All in all, 22 thousand enemy forces are killed or captured in the last battle for the city. The allied forces, except for an understrength Indian brigade and base engineers, set out for Trivandrum. About 70 thousand troops and 406 guns start the journey, in trains hastily dispatched for the purpose. They will have a few days in Trivandrum to rest, a little, and train, a little too, while awaiting the ships that will take them to Ceylon.

52 twin engine bombers and 36 fighters attack the airfield at Kavieng. The marine engineers had managed to render the airfield serviceable yesterday, just in time for a flight of Marine F4Fs from Lunga to arrive. Unfortunately, only 4 of them scrambled to intercept the incoming raid. It is miraculous that in the ensuing air battle none of them were destroyed.
The battle in the Bay of Bengal rages on. Japanese barges, withdrawing from Ceylon continue to be strafed and, 300 miles to the East of Ceylon, 28 liberators and 11 Beaforts locate the enemy destroyer task force that appears to provide distant support to the barges. In the ensuing attack, the liberators manage to score a hit on Sagui and Karagi.
The Easter fleet HQ arrived at Colombo and began to disembark. The return of the brass to the city is received with mixed feelings by the general naval population. On one hand, it means that the city is considered secure enough for the REMFs to return to it; on the other, well, having more admirals around is not something that the guys doing the actual fighting enjoy. Rations might improve however.

Today's daily raid on Kavieng assembled 44 twin engine bombers and an equal number of fighters. Against this mighty armada, the marines scrambled two wildcats with predictable results.

In Colombo, the naval headquarters reassembled, and the first reinforcements, a brigade of infantry and a detachment of field artillery begin loading on their transports in Trivandrum. The hinge of fate for Ceylon begins to swerve.
