I just started my first ever GC vs the A I last night and the above post just made me dizzy.

I want to go back to Guadalcanal!!! (whimper whimper)




Yes, it can be dizzying indeed. I almost didn't post the exhaustive list but if I hadn't then people would have doubted the number of sightings.

It also served to show that it is the Army and not the Navy that is looking to the protection of Japan's shipping.

I think the navy is off showboating around in their battleships and carriers drinking all of our precious fuel oil while the Army is tending to the true work of protecting commerce in the empire.

The KB supported the landings at Manado. With no enemy air opposition, the jungle was effectively bombed.






LOL Great use of humour to spice up the delivery of grim reports!
BTW, I heard there is a guy named Milo that can get you some Agent Orange for more effective defoliation. Contact Canoerebel for detalis ...

No, it is actually the same ship.....the camo job just makes her look unmodified.
After all, the Japanese were the masters at hiding the actual upgrades of their ships from the eyes of the west.

Aerial attempts to bomb the Chinese back to the Ming Dynasty saw a "resting" group of Bettys firebomb Wenchow. The glow from many fires could be seen for miles

The allied sub is a suspected Dutch submarine.

Status: offline 		This map shows the progress we have made in Borneo and southern Luzon and Mindanao. The Mindanao landing was limited in scope and meant more to control the airfield at Cagayan and not to continue the assault on the island. That assault will come later as our strategic objectives do not demand a fast liberation of Mindanao.

Miri was conquered (our first new oil/fuel source) and landings were made at Brunei, Beaufort, Jesselton, and Balabac.

To the north, one can see the blockade of Manila and the many Allied TFs at sea.

In the far south you can see the landing force that will amphibiously assault Tarakan in the coming day. It is well screened both from near and far because the location of the Dutch Navy, Houston, and Force Z is still unknown. However HMS Electra was spotted near Billiton moving north. The spotting was done by two separate submarines and is considered credible. It is my guess that Electra was escorting a group moving toward Singapore; possibly supplies or troop reinforcements coming from Java. It is a sighting that should prove to be valuable in the coming weeks.

This much is is true, but after seeing the accuracy with which the Army aircraft bombed shipping in the first 4 days of the war, it was decided that the Navy would have to carry the load when it came to sinking enemy ships. That left little for the JAAF to do but drink all our precious Sake, fly out in a straight line and hope to be able to find home again later in the day.

It looks like Rob was rushing all of his available transports to Singapore, presumably to evacuate troops. Hopefully my well placed sub picket line will significantly reduce his ability to pull units out.

Near Babeldoab, dutch sub put one torpedo into the battleship Yamashiro. I forgot to check and see how bad the damage was (It's Mike's ship anyways ) but I would assume that the torpedo blisters would have done their job of minimizing the damage.

Status: offline 		Finally,
Near Chi-Chi Jima a task force of several of Japan's largest tankers blundered into the Enterprise task force in the middle of the night.
Shockingly, the American task force broke off without engaging.

However, the next day, planes from what appeared to be two carrier groups sank all of the tankers and also hit a support task force in the same area containing an AR, AS, and AKE. None of them will likely make port.

This was a bold and gutsy move on the part of Lenny (LoBaron) and my hat is off to him. Now I will have to tell the Navy commander that I will need air cover before I try to move another convoy to Truk.

I also must consider that he may try to a quick strike at Honshu so I am preparing the defences for this possibility.

Yamashiro suffered only 7 (4 major) flood damage but the hit was in an engine room, wrecking it and causing 31 engine damage. Yamashiro is at anchor waiting until the USN CV group(s) is herded away from Japan, then will proceed to dry dock.

Octopussy hit on this turn, making 6 simultaneous landings. Mussau, Manus, Shortlands, Green, Kavieng, and Rabaul were assaulted and another group will land at Buna in two days. The operation is supported by CVs, and two SCTFs.

The AVG flew on down to G-Town in Malaya where they intercepted my Ki-27 Nates on their sweeps at low altitude. Amazingly, my Nates held their ground pretty well (at the 8-9000 feet range) and in two days of combat I lost only 4 Nates to the AVG while shooting down one AVG P-40. I don't think that there is a person here who would call that a bad result.
