FOW-Both the Prince of Wales and the Repulse were falsely reported sunk as well as the CL Raleigh. The BB Pennsylvania was still reported sunk at PH when one of my subs put two torps into it off the West Coast. It’s now reported sunk with a new location.
Production-I increased production of the Oscar, Zero, and Sally along with the Ha-32 and Ha-33 engines to make up for losses. The Ha-35 had been increased at the start.
Malaya-took Malacca and moving to Johore Bahru. I built Kuala Lumpur into a size 6 AF and brought in the 23rd Air Flotilla HQ. I transferred 72 Zeroes and 60 Oscars and set them to 50% CAP at varying altitudes expecting to catch the Allied airstrikes against Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. The results were a little disappointing. I destroyed 9 level bombers and 6 fighters at a cost of two fighters. I was hoping for a more decisive outcome. I start sweeping Singapore next turn.
PI-took Lingayen and waiting for reinforcements before moving on Clark. Keeping busy bombing Clark with the JAAF.
China-the Scotsman is bombarding my troops at Anyang, Kiukiang, and Amoy. He is not strong enough to take my positions and is sitting in place using his artillery to very little effect. I’ve got 4 divisions pinned down in Kaoping that are out of supply. They cannot break out and I can’t break through. I over-extended myself before I realized how powerful the Chinese are in Ironman.
Pacific- the South Seas force took Shortlands without opposition. I brought the KB in to raid PM and finally got some payback when I found a landing taking place in Milne Bay. The results would probably have been better without the rain and thunderstorms, but I’ll take it. With the large Non-combat Allied losses, I may have sunk an HQ.
