The Canal:
Yep I got it right he has started his landings on Torokina at 109,130. I was going to land ground troops here before he took out all my airfields in a couple of turns a month ago. Not a single airfield has been back in action since even with 2 construction units at each base. AdmSpraunce will have no trouble taking this base as it has 1 construction unit and a air unit total AV of 0.

Burma:
I made an ill advised attack on 1 unit at pegu. By the time they launched the attack there was 2 Divs and 3 Regiments of troops + support. Flying cap and making bombing runs on Rangoon and Pegu. AdmSpraunce has moved fighters to Rangoon. I will be fighting Hurricanes from now on. I have put my Oscar Ic at 10000 feet. This will give him the hight advantage but hopefully I can get a few of his Hurricanes with low level values (40's vs 20's)

Also his carriers have been covering a convoy into Rangoon. I have sent my light carriers out to patrol around the ## sign. My two repaired main carriers are in the islands just below rangoon. They are holding here for cover if AdmSpraunce comes after my light carriers I will drive these carriers up into the fight. He can not have that many carriers up here as I am currently seeing 30+ CV,s around Torokina. Japanese can not tell the diffrence between CV and DD.

Burma:
Just way to many air attacks to stop them all at Pegu. Then his attack just destroys all the troops there, of the two Divisions that marched into Burma. There is about a regiment left. I have lots of support tropps left but no to little AV. If AdmSpraunce pushs hard now he will be in Bangkok within two weeks.

Good news is I bagged 2 British carriers off Rangoon. I hope to clear up some of his support ships this turn then retire back to Singapore. Also this turn a bombardment group will hit Rangoon (I hope to catch a convoy in the area)

China:
My attack is rolling forward under fighter support. I am starting to get a little short on fighters in the local area he must be the same and his bombers are starting to get a little less reliable.

Burma:
Is a write off another shock attack and my AV has taken another mass hit. My only hope is that he takes moulein with his 30 unit (3 + DIV's) stack and gets a case of the ipps and starts seeeing shadows every where.

Truk:
Nothing I can do about this but to wait for him to run out of bombs. I have a CV at Babe but there is no way he is going near Truk with 16 CV's near by. I see (dead people) allied carries!!!!!!!

I just wanted to salute your capacity to endure. So many japanese players would have folded already, with such a desperate situation in 1942 but you soldier on. Kudos to you and good luck, you are going to suffer more and more...

Thank you. This game will run until AdmSprunce can't take anymore. I am still redesigning my defence but it looks like it will have to be an inner ring defence. With no real carrier force I can't protect the outer ring defence I was going to set up.

Future Plan:
1) Don't get into a war of attrition in the outer ring.
2) Get most of my forces back into the inner ring.
3) Remove as many resources, fuel and oil out of already captured areas as possiable

keep my forces strong for counter attacks in the inner ring

Do Now:
Forget batavia
Defend Bankok Area try and stop him from coming out of Burma.

Hopfully I can give him a few black eyes. When he tries to take short cuts

AdmSpraunce is all prepped up to take this base now with a blocking force now in place to make these troops surrender instead of just pop out. One Allied shock attack here and they will fall even with 25000 supply. Next target Gasmata and then overland to Rabaul. no need to hurry it is only 1942 and he wil not have to go up against a CD unit that most people put here.

Burma what a basket case:
My grand air attack did not even get off the ground all plane did jack just sat there and whatched our ground troops get belted.

This part of an email sent to AdmSpruance.

"Nice work coming out of Burma. Supply must be running low feeding all those troops."

my next email will hint about a counter attack I wonder what his reaction will be.

I think I will give up these two islands and draw the troops back into the Marshall Islands. As I see it they are large and too spread out to even give each other support.

AdmSpruance thinks he has enough supply to push into Thailand from what he told me and the way the supply system works I think he will have no problems keeping his 100000 troops supplied. I think he will have to sneak a few small supply convoys into Rangoon. I think I may have to pay anthor SCTF visit soon also have started night bombing of the port. His units have started to move up the trails out of Moulmein once they are out of the city I am going to have to "spend" my bombers slowing them down (I dont expect too many to survive).

ShortLands:
Making a Shock attack here as these guys are not going to hold out for more than a day also the attack will eat up more of the supplies that are sitting here.

Balikpapan:
Small invasion force will land here soon. dont really care if I take this or not just clearing up some bases before I start retreating

China:
Air attacks have picked up with the normal results lost of cas and slowing movement. Tojo's are almost ready to come back into the fight only need to build 3 more planes. I will then move them to hankow and put them at their max Alt and give his fighters a bit of a kick.

Burma:

Air attacks on the port of rangoon

Bomber attacks on AdmSpraunces stack these attacks should leave him shaking in his combat boot's.

Allied ground losses:
36 casualties reported
from: 204 x 250 kg GP Bomb @ 9000 feet

Allied ground losses:
6 casualties reported
from: 68 x x 100 kg GP Bomb @ 10000 feet

check out his attacks in China to see what I mean. Day two turned out worse as half the bombers did not fly and when they did, They lost their fighter escorts.

The next few turns will decide on how far I pull back. If he stops before the river I may be able to do some thing otherwise he will not stop until he hits China. Every time he attacks he has 3 units on pursuit 1) this causes major cas to me 2) it slows down my troops moving in the next hex and gives his troops time to get there for the next major killing. supply is my other problem it just seems to disapear.

This game was started before the fix to supply moving from India into Burma was fixed. This leaves me with few supplies in this area. Where the allies have all of india to draw supplies into the combat area quickly.

Burma:
Another Attack, Another Retreat, More major troop losses (1580 That is half the troops who where there) and more Indians

Rabaul:
Lost another DD on fast transport pick up troops. That makes over half my destroyers that I have lost so far sunk this way. They rush in on the first day and instead of leaving that same night they are still there way into the second day of the turn. If they get spotted they are toast. I though the whole idea of this mission was get in and out while it is dark. It states Kagero caught transferring cargo ... It cant be AS as he has that I have 1 db within range to his 2-3 Sqd's and I am not stupid enough to have the unit on remain on station, but that is how they are acting.

Accelerated training:
have a look at the OPERATIONAL REPORT FOR Sep 30, 42 below I would have though I would get 1 number for each army and navy other wise that is a lot of pilots. I need them as I am lossing some good ones in Thailand at the moment.

I don't know what the point of using my bombers at all is they just dont seem to have the same effect as allied bombers.

He hits me in China with 8 blem and kills over 100+, I hit him in Burma with 50+ Sally and kill 20. The other thing that worries me is his ability to fly his bombers with out escort as he knows I can't kill them. Its a bit hard to keep Cap over your troops when you have 10+ raids by 8 or so medium bombers and all you can do is put some dints in them.

You should have 2 to 3 squadrons of Nick's. Put these at 35k feet and they will tear up the medium and heavy bombers.

Make sure to have them CAP at target base for best affect. Also mix them with others for mass affect.

Whenever I put up my Nick's my opponent shortly stops flying to that base. Even unescorted Heavies get whacked.

Also put experianced pilots for best affect.
