Saigon: size 7
Hit by the B-17 Sledge Hammer with no CAP stupid me!. The damage the B-17 can do is fantastic Runways 80+ Service 70+ lost a lot more fighters than what are in these reports. 4 1/2 strength groups down to 1 or two fighters each. about 60 planes lost all told.

Day 1:

B-17D Fortress x 4
B-17F Fortress x 6
LB-30 Liberator x 3
B-24D Liberator x 12
B-24D Liberator x 8
B-17E Fortress x 15
B-17E Fortress x 38
B-17E Fortress x 12
B-17E Fortress x 7
B-17E Fortress x 7

Airbase hits 16
Airbase supply hits 7
Runway hits 88

(I wonder if runway hits are 88 x Plane Bomb Load (ie B-17E 4 x 500 lb GP Bomb) or 88 out of total number of bombs dropped)

Day 2:

B-17D Fortress x 3
B-17E Fortress x 27
B-17F Fortress x 2
LB-30 Liberator x 3
B-24D Liberator x 6

Airbase hits 6

Thailand:
Nakhon Ratchasima 229 AV on the 14th now on the 18th they are at after 1 attack 97 AV and in total retreat.

Rebaul:
I was sending my 3 large carriers to stand off and put a LRCAP over Rebaul to ambush his bombers that attack Rebaul every day like clock work. Problem is he just made a landing near by and he spotted my carriers with a sub picket. Now that he has spotted me his ships will pull back. So my trip to Rebaul is off form.

I am trying something new here I have just sent 12 subs to patrol the 2 hexs next to the base he has just landed on. The idea is to have so many subs in these two hexs that he will run out of depth charges. Then I should be able to get some hits with my subs.

Mouliem:
I think I will land 2 Divs here. if I lose them I can say good bye to the empire. maybe not. would be fun. should I. he is killing me in points already whats another 1000.

Subs:
Allied subs wont be able to miss soon as they fire a spread of 4 tropedo's. They only need a 25% hit rate to sink a ship with every attack.

I just found out why my ASW units above japan have been so bad lately they have no depth charges seems the ports are too small to load depth charge's. I would have thought a size 5 would be plenty big enough for rearming PB's and SC's but all my ASW have nice big red 0 where the depth charge amount should be.

AdmSpruance came knocking at Hong Kong and found my CAP at home. He took about half his force in losses for two hits to ships that will be back in service within 2 days.

There is a landing going on at Mussau Island and my carriers are finally going to have a go. I have not seen his large carriers for a few days now. I have seen 2 or 3 CVE's near Mussau Island this turn and they will be my target of choice. Here's hoping that the fleet carriers are not just sitting out of search range.

Total disaster:
Japanese naval search is so crap. 50% skill searching 3 x 10 degree sectors @ 10000 feet by 70% of a 27 plane unit. Works out to be 5 plane per 10 degree's. They missed 10 TF's full of Carriers and Battleships for 6 full days.

Japan is now large carrier less. 1 sunk and two over 60% damaged limping back to babe. Cant go near Truk expect to see it get smashed by his other Carriers next turn trying to hit what is left of my carrier force.

If the 2 with 60% damage don't sink before Babe (I think they will) they will be out of the fight up to a year. Running repairs at Babe and then back to home island if they can get back in without eating a torp.

Japanese IJN has no large carriers left as expected AdmSpruance high tailed it up towards Truk. Even limping towards Babe there was no way the carriers where going to escape. The BB with them took a bit of a belt as well, I think a few of them will spend the rest of the war in dry dock.

It would be interesting to see if AdmSpruance knows there are NO IJN Carriers left. I guess it depends on how much he trusts his combat reports.

I can tell you the Japanese have been kicked to the curb. I am interested to here where you think the game is leading without giving away too many secrets and with the new patch 3 going into testing. Do you have wide screen as I don�t but there look to be a few extra fixes as well. I still have plenty of ground troops and planes so the future for Japan is bright.

I hope we keep going with this game as I think the japanese on mass in saipan andPhil may be able to blunt his attacks and will give me a chance to try some stuff.

Batavia:
Raid on day one did well. Stayed with their escorts as they always seem to do on the first day. The second day they just seem to lost the plot even the fighters can't get it togeather and fly in two groups to the target. Needless to say the bombers got slaughtered. It seems to be this way with two day turns first day good second day bad or very bad.

Something I just noticed:

G3M3 Nell has spotted AVD Chincoteague at 101,119
:::::::: AVD Chincoteague is reported HIT

This hit times 2 is from the G3M3 Nells based at Truk the thing is that this unit is currently set to Naval Search and are getting way more hits this way than when on naval attack. When on Naval Attack the CAP from the Carriers in the area chop them to bits and they get no where near the target.

The thing is why would I even bother with a Navel attack at this range without escorts. if I can have them all on Naval Search in a 10 degree search zone and get better results. Lucky for AdmSpraunce these guys where armed with bombs not Tropedo's. I really don't want to be gamey if I can help it.

Allied Subs:

Seem to be running a ship a day sunk at the moment, Wohoo let the good times roll. Needless to say I have all my transports and cargo ships set to minimum refuel. no point all that fuel going to the bottom of the ocean. Any damage they get from lack of fuel is less likely to sink them than a torp up the tail pipe.

The problem with low fuel is I have to manage these ships now. The CS convoy's don't like being low on fuel and just sit there in port until they are fueled up. Once fueled up they start loading their cargo.

Night Time Surface Combat, near Koepang at 68,116, Range 5,000 Yards

Walked right into this trap. SCTF sitting at Koepang and a load of New aircraft here since the last time I visited. My surface force did well to hold their own the two CA's where the difference I think. They got hit by air on the run out and are now in 3 TF's. CL Tenryu sunk I hate damage control (The way my luck any ship that gets damaged goes to the bottom while the crew do nothing) CA Kumano took 2 torps but looks like it will make port. Quick repairs and then back to the home island for all these ships.

I am going to mark this one down as a victory. very small but victory if I can get him to pull more combat ships here.

Subs:
Running my short ranged subs from Tarakan they are all on the way to Koepang to try and catch a cripple or two when he sends them for repair.

CL Agano sinks.... I think should be CL Tenryu. This is driving me mad if one of our ships sink I would think we would know exactly how it was.
