Durng this period the enemy mankes a concerted push to lang troops and supplies? into Akyab.

First their CV's track in towards Calcutta. We track them with betties and try in intercept with subs, this being the closest.

Our losses have been about equal in the air overall, but their Navy is badly shock up.

The enemy advance on Broome, but turn around. a CL TF hits Derby several times, then they begin to withdraw soon after we change 2 TK regt and an Inf Regt to Derby... maybe SIGINT gave us away?

We still plan to counter attack here... but no point at the moment.

Darwin continues to be bombed on a daily basis keeping it 100% damaged. No more supply ships have been detected for several weeks, supply must be low.

Off Perth our subs are being harassed.

Off Melbourne we hit some large xAK's, probably sinking them, and several ASW TF are hunting us, we get one AM in return.

P-38 appear over PM and slaughter first around 12 Rufe, then around 10 Zero. We can't generate enough aircraft at the moment. They look to be flying from Cooktown, time for the CA's to do some work.

A large reinforcement convoy is heading into PM to unload infantry and engineers, it is escourted by Mini KB. The forts are now 1.5.

On the way home KB detects some raiders around Marcus island, bad weather and good luck means we haven't caught them... yet!

More fuel, troops and supplies are landing at Rabaul, troops are moving out from their to the defensive locations.

We are chasing the raiding force with KB, we detect them in searches but KB aircraft fail to launch due to weather on range. However we have a slight positional advantage, they have to flee towards Japan as we are a few hex SE of them.

Over Akyab only light opposition, next turn a BB TF will Hit Cox's Bazaar instead of trashing Akyab more. Our bombers (3 Daitai Helen) are hitting Akyab nicely at the moment so should be able to keep fully damaged.

Our CV's are near Sabang, a time and space calulation indicates we should be in a position to intercept turn after next. 40 Kate are flown onto Rjuyo (which fills here up) and Zero are flown onto the CVE. In total the CV TF has 36 Zero (2 x 18), 27 Val (15 and 12) 46 Kate (40 and 6), all with goo tovery good experiance. I doubt they have filled up their squadrons, but they probably have LR CAP support.

G3M3 Nell (the long range ones) are now operating over Ceylon. Next time we wouldn't increase Betty production, but build more Nell instead.

DEI
No Change the Divs from the Pacific are coming into the area.

They have withdrawn from Derby back to Nookanbah at least. Broome is very safe again.

On the East coast Recce from PM is showing a lot of fighters and bombers at Townsville/Cooktown area.

They raiders are again just out of range. Netties launch but don't find the target... but they have come right up against the Northern Islands, so some Nells (Bombs only) are bought in... maybe we can damage and slow them down?

Here is the CV situation near Ceylon. We are 1 hex "offmap" to the south, so should intercept nicely... almost like it was planned :) Our CV's are undetected, so it should be a suprise. Pity one of our CV's is in Dry dock.

A few days ago we reviewed our air production, partially in light of information appearing in the main forums, and partly because as the "short game" bit of expansion was up it was time to think more long term.

Overall we have done well to date, we probably overbuilt Zero production a bit, and the Lilly's should have been moved to Helen earlier (but engines were lacking), and buit more Nells, not Betty's for the G3M3 version. Oscars and the other key aircraft are about right. Engines are still tight and are our real constraint.

We are now preparing for bringing Tojo on line (But no Tonies), with Frank and George our real focus to try and bring forward. We have dropped some A6M2 production to increase the M3 version, then will switch the others to M3a.

You have two naval transport planes - Tina and Mavis
You will soon have two naval patrol planes - Emily and Mavis
IMO, you need to reduce them both to just one each.

Kuriles - This may be considered gamey, but I did it in my game. I moved a small AA unit to a base. This allowed me to use PP to change it from 5th Fleet back to the restricted Home Island command. Then, I changed the Kurile island base to a the Home Islands restricted command. Now I can base the Home Island restricted air units on that particular base in the Kuriles. It seems strange that those Home Island air units can be transferred to Formosa, if they have the range, but not the Kuriles. This is my work around. I know others have done this before.

Well the ambush of the enemy CV's happens almost as expected... we didn't get a single hit :( Our attack was broken up a bit due to bad weather. Lots of aircraft lost on both sides, and no damage.

Thanks, yes they will be rationalised... but we wanted some Tina for some of the land based aircraft units.

Thanks On the Kuriles... happy to leave it as it is though.

Aircraft Attacking:
12 x Ki-43-Ic Oscar sweeping at 38500 feet

Akyab is swept and hit by 68 Helen for moderate effect.

Our CV's don't detect anything.

DEI
No change. Stripping resources and fuel.

Pacific
A CA TF slips port to hit the Australian East Coast.

China
No change.

We are doing a great job with resources. The DEI is being effectively drawn down of all types of material, soon we will move into more of a maintenace/balance mode. More TK's (converted from Cargo vessels) will soon come on line. Oil is stockpiling nicely at Singapore and Haiphong, but the big tankers are still mostly being used to get fuel across to the SWPAC front.

Even Burma is being pulled down nicely, the focus here has been oil and resources, allowing fuel to build up to support the fleet. But that fuel will now be pulled down as the extra tankers come online.

Burma

Mandalay is main forward base, everything north of here will be a delaying action.

The main defensive line will be back at Toungoo though, in the forest, hence it is being built hard.

At this stage our aim is to disrupt their build up, and attempt to deny key forward bases (such as Akyab). We aren't sure how long we can do that for. Having chased away the Brit fleet though we can use our fleet to hit from the sea, that won't help if they shift their thrust line to the inland though, we simply don't have the airforce capable of supressing more than one base at a time.

Overall there is about 2000 AV in Burma at the moment, but the biggest bases are only around 300. We are moving armour here as a priority (there are already 4 TK Regt and 2 Cav units in the area).

AV is inadequete, however that is about to change when a second Air Div and more BF arrive (there is the 5th Air Div and a Flotilla here at the moment).

CENTPAC

Kusaie will be the hub and with Ponope the main line of resistance before TRUK. Having said that as you can see we have dug in nucely on the outlying Islands, all of which will require a two divisional assault.

We are currently pulling resources out of Nauru while we can.

There are no combat, only search, aircraft in this area.
