Apart from the loss on Unryu it was a good turn :(

Our CV's will move back to keep out of range of the mitchells, but in range of the enemy invasion force if it does go to Darwin. Lots of fighters and strike aircraft head to Dilli... expecting the battle of Darwin to commence!

Have loaded up a Naval guard unit at Kendari to retake Taberfane next to Dobo, recon shows it is empty...

Still no invasion around Darwin area, looks like he is just probing and trying to get us to react while he is under his own aircover. Bastard!

Indicators and Warnings

Subs

Thailand
The usual at Moulmein, although now he is amphib landing more troops direct to the hex... or maybe it is supply... Next turn will try a LRCAP trap over Moulmein.

Sumatra / Malaya

Status: offline 		Well it certainly is starting to feel like soon we will have the straw that will break our back. Starting to concentrate for the defence of Singapore (wish to deny it to Andrew for as long as possible). Palembang will also become untenable soon, that will really hurt.

With almost no oil surplus except in China (and all the oil producing locations sucked dry) I'm really suprised that we only have about 77 days of fuel, and maybe another 30-50 days available.

Have started to shut down more HI production in the Home Islands, that will affect supply... we are at about 640k in Japan.

Have started to really cruch the shipbuilding as well.



Things I'd do different next time That I'm Thinking at the Moment
I think we possibly went a little overboard on our air research, this cost us a lot of supply. But I'm not sure how much we could tone back either...

Oil Oil Oil. Repair it and ship it back. Even the smaller places. You need it all.

Manage the ship building better. We produced a lot of stuff we didn't need, small xAK in particular. We did a better job on the warfighting ships but could have managed it a bit better.

Fuel conservation. We went a Viking with the fleet a lot, that cost us a fair bit in fuel. Conserve fuel where you can.


Things we did good
Air production / Reserach. We are still relatively capable in the air due to the effort we put in early.

Ground combat. Overall our fighting on the ground has been very good.

Overall strategy. Our overall strategy has worked well.


Cheers
Rob

Yeah, my base force at Hakodate still hasn't maxed the port to level 7 by 11/43!

I've been diligent about this, but still feel behind everywhere.

In this game your forts have seemed very strong in all of the recent areas the Allies attacked. at least that keeps things slow for now. I hope you can stall enough to keep the oil flowing through 44 at least.

Are you still building forts in the HI to protect against bombing and possible later invasions, or has this finished now that supply is getting scarce?

Status: offline 		Fort building in Japan stopped after we got to level 3. All the available engineers were shipped out. In the last 4-6 months we have started again building from the northern tip backwards, 6 forts 6 aflds.

We prefer to build defence in depth and try to get several lots of 100 engineers working, rather than build one mega base at a time. Usually build forts to 3, Afld to 4 then more forts with selected airfields going to 6 or more.

Have found that key bases really need to be 7, 6 just isn't enough to support CAP, escorts and strike aircraft in meaningful numbers.

Try to build "clusters" of 3-5 bases in mutual support at a time, this is much more resilient than one big base.

Only very recently have we got any to level 8-9, although we needed them in the home islands with all the air units that have arrived recently.


Due to the lack of action in the SWPAC we have all the islands back to Japan now at level 6, a few at 7 and a couple near 8... Level 6 forts are really sweet to sit behind...

We continue to hit Dobo.

He continues to move real or fake invasion forces around while keeping them under his fighter cover.

KB and Mini KB are marrying up. The aircraft from the CVE's are being sent to land bases in the DEI, the CVE's themselves will head back out of trouble. KB will then be formed with everything that is useful...

OZ

Pacific
Enemy raiders hit a tanker convoy, we are lucky to loose only one ship! Aircraft are scrambled into the area and a CL TF is sent out to hunt the AO's supporting the raiders... hopefully our aircraft will deal with the raiders.

Enemy raiders detected near Babeldoab now! A hit of wher eth AO's are and our CL Tf is vectored in that way for next turn.

Subs

Thailand
The troops retreating from Moulmein are hit.

Abandoning central Malaya and starting to thin out in central Burma to create a strong defence at Bangkok.

Sumatra / Malaya
Have managed to get troops in front of his forces coming down the west coast of Sumatra... will see how long they can hold. A bit moot soon when he lands south of us.

Pulling stuff back into Singapore and getting it ready for a seige. Have started to setup some outlying bases to act as roadblocks.

Pulling out fragments of units back to Manila.


East DEI
Usual at Dobo. Continuing to kill aircraft on the ground.

He still moves invasion forces around.

KB and Mini KB continue to rearm and reorginise.

OZ

Pacific
AO's detected about 16 hex west from Marcus island heading back to Hawaii? May get to intercept it next turn...


China
Oil continue sto repair at Lanchow.

Moving armoured forces deeper into China.

Subs
A new wave of subs has moved into my convoy lanes between Takao and the Home Islands. I have recently occupied and built Bataan Is now I have a chain of ASW bases protecting the route. This combined with several ASW TF is largely keeping the subs detected and supressed so casulties have been very light.

Thailand
The plan now is for our forces to retreat in two directions, mainly via Bangkok to the Vietnam / China border, some will retreat down the peninsula to Singapore.

We continue to thin out forces on the front line back to Bangkok. Moving fragments now back to Vietnam / China border to rebuild around Hanoi.

The Thai / Malaya Corridor will only be lightly held.

Sumatra / Malaya
No change, looks like We've managed to block in him North Sumatra for the moment... until he builds up the offshore islands that is.

Mainly focussed on getting the air defence of Singapore and Palembang organised.

East DEI
Dobo is again hit killing more aircraft on the ground.

He continues to move real / fake invasion forces around within the air cover of his bases. This is probably a feight.

Have shut down some merchant and naval shipbuilding, and re focussed which ships we now need (TK's, subs, escorts, DD's, LST's).

Have shut off 540 HI in the home islands. This has had a positive impact of fuel and resources, balanced against changes to Naval / Merchant yards has increased HI produced a turn.

Have pulled back fuel 70k from Truk.

Armaments and vehicles are slowly climbing... we will need them soon to rebuild the smash units from Thailand.

So far going well, no new aircraft for a few months however Shinden is about 50% repaired, another month or so should see the first factory producing. Grace is coming along nicely. The only other aircraft is the Ki-83, thought it looked interesting!

We stuffed up with the Ha-43 Engine (for the N1k5 George in particular) as we only have two large factories, and they are not due until Jan 1945 (probably arrive Oct / Nov 1944).

Status: offline 		Thailand Withdrawel Plans
The intent is to fight hard on the Bangkok line to give time to pull out shattered units back to Lang Son.

Intermediate lines will be built to at least level 4 forts to act as delaying points for the withdrawel (as you can see have largely achieved that already). This should stop rapid exploitation of his armour and force him to bring up infantry divs... giving us time to get away.

I'd like to try to hold Vinh for a while if possible...

Lang Son will be built in strength, after that point the coastal plain can't be held... however want to cover the rail line if possible at Nanning.

Also building Phenom Penh (5 forts now) and Saigon (5 forts soon 9 Airfield). Will see how the retreat gods go to see what forces end up in these locations. Denying Saigon for a while would be very nice...

East DEI
We damage / Sink upto 5 CVE while suffering a sub hit to one of ours and light damage on another. About half our ground based air doesn't fly dueto weather. The airgroups on KB are fairly battered. KB will now withdraw. Samulaki then falls.

Both our CV Tf and the allied reacted towards one another, despite no react and following a ASW TF, which then puts them in max range of the usually deadly B-25

We created some MTB and SSX last turn that manage to disrupt the landing and cause a bit of damage.

A victory of sorts, we hit five CVE, sinking at least two, an AO and a few other ships for no loss. We have two banged up CV's though, and our Kate airgroups are again decimated (well much more than 1 in 10!). Samulaki falls, however we are forcing him to commit strong forces every time, which will slow him down.

I'm willing to fight the early model P-47s and win the war by attrition, but not when he gets over 150 of those D25s per month. YIKES!! Even Japanese production cannot keep up with those losses.

Status: offline 		Oosthaven - Change some TF to have this base as their home port. This will make the AI move fuel from Palembang to there. Hopefully, you can use those small 1250 TKs to run to and from Batavia to get some fuel out.

Status: offline 		Thanks Cribtop, not so sure, certainly is putting additional presure on. I think he was just trying some things out with forces he had "spare". The next step will be difficult, all our next lot of bases are well defend at around 300AV each and level 7 forts, as well as mutually supporting... The exception being Marcus Is.


10 Apr 1944
Was wondering why our George pools were so low, found that I'd left "upgrade on" so they had all converted to the George 5 version, which would normally be OK but we have no engines available for it yet! So I've downgraded a 5 back to a 2, converted over a Zero factory to geaorge, turned on more Zero's and changed the Toko rocket to the Ha-43 which is what we need... all of which will cost us a fair bit of supply just when things are getting tight :(
