Not a lot for Japan to be happy about this Christmas.

China:
looks like he may make a run at Hankow

15 units in hankow
30 units between hankow and Sinyang
30 units in Sinyang
35 units just outside Ichang

And a well rested air force they have not flown in a while but there still there. and now they have P-38G Lightning with them so nowhere is safe.

My Guess of a major attack toward Hankow was right. My units in the open just above Hankow are going to get smashed. Nothing I can do about it if I try and reteat I will be smashed if I stand and fight I am going to get smashed.

His combined air attacks caused this much damage:

Japanese ground losses:
1852 casualties reported
Squads: 6 destroyed, 102 disabled
Non Combat: 5 destroyed, 152 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 10 disabled
Guns lost 23 (3 destroyed, 20 disabled)
Vehicles lost 10 (0 destroyed, 10 disabled)

The air losses are large but nothing like the disruption they caused.

Next turn I expect:
1500 cas from air attacks
5000+ from Bombardment
No ground attack this turn

so I will loss about 6500 thousand men in two days

Infantry: 56678
Second Line: 44763
Vehicles: 345

Put all 4 sentai on LRCAP over the battle area today. Worked well other than by the time the bombers arrived all my pilots where back at base. If the allied player can send in a lot of little sweeps there is no CAP left when the bombers get there. I had 81 planes over the target and this was not even enough to still have some in the air when the bombers arrived.

Problem with all my air on LRCAP for two days major FAT have move all air from hankow and stood them down to recover. If they went into battle now they would be decimated by the allied fighters.

Japanese air to ground losses:
861 casualties reported
Squads: 1 destroyed, 60 disabled
Non Combat: 6 destroyed, 124 disabled
Engineers: 1 destroyed, 5 disabled
Guns lost 10 (1 destroyed, 22 disabled)

AdmSpraunce has asked for a cease fire in China again. I dont see anything good in it for japan.

1) The chinese units will only get stronger with training. very little extra training the Japanese can do.
2) Front line makes Canton and Hong Kong easy targets once cease fire finishes.
3) Free's up units and supply to be used else where.
4) Japan still needs to keep this area supplied.
5) Submarine base's that can not be touched.
6) Ability to stock pile supplies.
7) Ability to rebuild Chinese units.

Cease Fire in China:
That will make my turns shorter other than that I don't see the reason not to play China. If one side or the other don't flood china with troops from M it seems to be even for the most part.

All troops are going to rest and fighters are going to training after i pull out the best pilots. I will be leaving the planes as they are no downgrades or upgrades from now on in. Bit of a shame as thier are about four senti of good planes there.

In my next game I don't think I will treat it any diffrent the M troops can be used to better effect further out. and the amount of resources to be gathered are only helpfull in the first few months.

Tavoy:
This upcoming turn I will be landing a full Division and HQ at Tavoy. Make a faint towards Bangkok I already have a unit blocking the road from Bangkok to Moulien. I want this to look like I am going to go after Bangkok or Moulien. Now that his forces are spread out all over the place in Vietname and Thailand. Should give him something to think about.

China:
admSpraunce asked if he could pull back all the bombers he had sent to Pakhio. With the china cease fire I suggested they would have been locked there. If he is telling the truth that almost all his theatre bombers are there, it will be good for my landing at Tavoy. Should give a day or two of clear skies.

Subs:
6 sub hits today maybe 1 sunk and 2 heading home for repair would be good to see if this is right.

Rebaul
20,000 Allied troops have landed and will take Rebaul with a shock attack this turn. After pulling out most of my tropps there are only about 1500 troops here. I really want these units to be destroyed that way I can rebuild them where they are now Truk, gaum, Saipan.

Time to retreat from Tavoy no point holding this base. Only way to supply it is by air or sea and with his air power this is not going to happen. Also any forces here can be cut off by a landing at victoria point.

Bye Bye Rabual and good ridance!!!! Now I just have to get the rest of the sqd's killed off and begin my pacific defence.

My plan after losing my first four Carriers was to try and prevent Sapian and Gaum becoming bomber bases.
I have been Building up these islands with about 300 AV on each island now. I plan to go for broke here. Once he makes a landing I intend to land a 3 Div counter invasion on the island. Boy am I going to get plastered when I try to land.
