Careful that is far too many ships for a single Surface task force. I would break it down into 3x BB a CA and 8DD and and 2x CA 2CL and 7DD. Have both set to react 1and station them in the PM hex. The algorithm will try assign the combat TF's to fight first although it will not always work 100% but you do what you can.
You could also station the Cruiser force in the PM entrance hex while the BB's cover the landing as thanks to the reef there is only one hex they can pass through.

I wouldn't worry too much as he will likely try run with his ships now the KB is behind them. Its either that or lose them all.

Also your strike from the KB was rather small, 80 strike planes when I would expect the better part of 200. Is there a reason for that?

Almost half of planes was diverted because of weather or they cant find target

Again problem with sync

Docup saw me in combat replay landing in PM (never happen on my side). When he load save there was no sigh of invasion and no combat rapport.(this happen on my side)

From what i know again save is ok. Problem is in combat replays.

I suggested to him to send me screens with his game setting in game menu, and setting after save is loaded. I will compare them with my settings
Is this not help we will reinstall games.

Question: 2 days before first sync problem i have install Halsey insignia mod. I am also using new plane graphics for planes in combat animation (that one when you see planes from up during air battle). Did this can be problem?

Never heard that graphics can cause an issue, but you might open a thread in Tech support. Micheal may be able to sort it out ...

5 Mar 42

KB
View of KB behind backs and invasion fleet scare allies.

CA TF closest to PM and TF in middle change direction and now they are in Cairns baase (north of Townswille) probably under heavy CAP.

BB`s TF i have attack last day split in three.
2xCL go south. They meet SAG defending KB and during two battles both CL sink. No damage to Japan ships

Damage BB split in two TF. In one BB Maryland was attack by Val`s they not do many damage to BB but they damage two DD. I will hunt BB Maryland tomorrow. He will not run. His damage are high. In last day he only move 3 hexes.

Second BB TF move more north. He was attacked by Kate's and Val`s. During attack they sunk BB West Virginia and CL Honolulu and damage 2 destroyers

KB will slowly sail north east trying to be in range of BB Maryland tommarow

Weather is against me, only 50% of bomber fly today.

PM invasion

Troops have landed today
I have lost 1000 soldiers on beach. I have lost two xAKL one more will sunk in hours.
CL and DD suffer minor damages. But nothing danger to them.
I have now 900AV versus 340AV of allies. Invasion fleet will break and slowly sail to Rabul.

Summary of first 4 days of operation
Japan ship and air losses:

Sunk:
2x xAKL

Damaged:
CVE Hosho 29/16/1/0
CL Kahsima 28/25/6/0
DD Karukaya 25/9/0/0
xAKL 53/16/17/68

Planes
4 Fighters, 7 bombers

Allied ship and air losses:
Sunk:
BB West Virginia
CL Honolulu
CL Caledon
CL Adelaide

Damaged
BB Maryland, Bomb hits 23, Torpedo hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage
DD Phelps, Bomb hits 1
DD Selfridge, Bomb hits 1, on fire
DD Farragut, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires
DD Schley, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage

Planes
14 fighter, 10 bombers, 10 planes

I now thinking what to do with CA`s in Cairns base. Intel showing 2xCA 2xDD and 6 more ships.
Docup probably will have havy CAP over port, and i do not think that risking lives of KB pilots is worth of two CA`s. I will need those pilots later to sunk allied CV.:)

KB have only fuel to reach PM so after tomorrow they will sail there to refuel and rearm torps. MKB will support retreat of invasion fleet from PM. When fleet will be safe he will sail south and take position south east of Townswille behind range of allied patrols.

If Docup will try to evacuate those CA`s south there will be big chance that they are going to be spotted and attack by MKB planes.

PM battle is still active but i imagine how big panic we would see in real world in public opinion of Oz and US.
It was bad week for allies.
Batann fall, probably 2 BB are gone. 3CL`s and few DD sunk. Japanese troops in PM.
Bad week for allies

Just park offshore one turn at 7 hexes and send in the majority of your zeroes in on a high sweep mission. Should clear out lots of his CAP and if it goes your way you can send the bombers in the next day or catch his CA's when they try to run.
Alternatively set the bombers for a well escorted afternoon attack and send half your fighters to sweep in the morning.

I will decide when i run next turn.
I at work right now so need to wait 4 more hours.
I was thinking also about combining attack of KB and MKB. 200 zeros sweep should be good for that mission.
Biggest problem is fuel of KB. I think i will fix it by marge KB with 3 BB to adjust fuel from them.

Nearest full is in Rabul. I have there 50k. and 120K in Truk.
AO`s are at lest 6 days from Truk with 120k of fuel so they will not make on time

6 MAR 42

KB found and sunk 2 DD`s. He not found BB Maryland in area. I think Maryland sunk
SS have spotted another BB near Noumea but i will not try to hunt it.
Old BB`s are not worth of risking KB and info is not confirmed

KB will sail north west trying to find CA`s. KB is now without SAG TF support (SAG is sailing to Rabul to refuel)

Second day of landing in PM. I have 15k supply now .
BB` bombard PM kilning 300 man and destroying one bomber on AF.
Land troops have attack. I lost 3,5k man, allies 500

Adds where 1:1
Good new i have reduced fort to 1.
For few days i will rest. Bombers will keep AF damaged to stop allies from building fortifications

Enemy forces 10k man 260AV, Japanese troops 22k 640AV+200AV disabled
I have lost 2 more xAKLs. All ships will sail to Rabul tomorrow under MKB umbrella

SS near Sydney sunk xAK

In last KB attack only 70 bomber fly. It is third day when i see only 40-50% of planes in air. I have checked all squads. they have good seating and commanders are good with high aggressiveness. I understand that they fly in small number today. only 2xDD to attack but in attack vs BB they should use everything. I have also notice that attack was made only by squad from 3 CV, rest do not fly in last tree days

I have check my R&D program.

I am almost sure i will be able to accelerate Ki-49IIa 3 moths earlier. Helen will replace Lily bomber. I will produce Ki-21 and Ki-49. I will not shot down Ki-21 program because of engine optimization

Also i will probably accelerate A6M3a for three months. In June i will change my biggest A6M2 factory to A6M3. It will take at lest 3 month to repair all factories and will cost me so many supplies but in September i will be able to produce 100+ A6M3a.

I now building pool of A6M2 in case carrier`s will need reinforcements. I also will produce few M2 until M3a arrive.

Sad new about Tojo no chance to accelerate them.

KB&MKB

In first opportunity i will rebuild structure of them.

Two CVE will sail to HI. CVE Hosho need repairs second is to slow. I will use fighter squadron from them and replace them with Val`s from KB. I think i will need few extra fighters in KB.

So i will have 3 CV divisions

KB
6xCV

MKB1
1xCV
1xCVL

MKB2
2CVL
1CVE(after repairs)

MKB1 and 2 will operate in DEI and support small risk operations in Pacific and KB will spread death in Pacific

In 5 days allies will have 5 big CV so it will make 7 to 5.In 35 days i will have another CV making 8 big one in Japan side.

I have not seen allied CV since December. I have some intel in February about CV in Christmas Island but nothing trustworthy.

Later i thinking to build two 4xCV TF`s and try to find Allied fleet. May should be nice time to carrier battle

Q: Do i need 10K supplies in base to repair R&D factory?

7 MAR 42

PM invasion.
Fleet is sailing home. I have forgot to give order to leave PM to one cargo TF. and they have small fire fight with CD guns. Two xAKLs sunk two more damaged.
MKB will waitt for them to give air support.
Allied SS south of PM sunk my xAK with small unit on board. it coast me 300 man and 2PP to rebuy unit
Second time my SS rapport BB in Noumea hex.

Sea part is ending, now time to capture PM. I will give my units few days of rest and attack

Java invasion
Troops start to load on ships in few days i will land

Philippines
Troops marching to manila. They are taking reinforcements fast. Manila is very good for that.
Firs mine sweepers will arrive tomorrow. Lots of mines to clear.

China.
Lots of bombings and sweeps on my side. Allies bomb HK port but he was empty.
Battle in north china. Chinese defending wooden hex. I have 3:1 advantage in numbers but terrain is against me. I have los 3k man allies 500.

Burma.
Allies have bomb AF and ports in north Indochina. almost no damage.
When i land in Java and capture Batavia i will move some units from there and start Burma operation.

I think i have made few strategic mistakes in war. One of them is being to slow in Burma.
Second is leaving Wake in allied hands.

From last days a have heavy radio volume from Adak. Ships in port reported. Patrol base, SS base? We will see
I think i will wist them soon.

8-9 MAR 42

KB&MKB 6 hex east of Cairns. They have orders to attack allied fleet there.But they where one day to late. Allied SAG sail north and bombard PM.(Allied SAG 2xCA, CL, 6xDD)
Docup now know where i am so probably he will run with his forces to Darwin. All carriers will sail to Rabul and from there to Truk they will join there with CV Junyo.
I will not pursue them he have 12 hexes of advantage and all his ships are 30+ knots capable

PB south of Gilbert Islands found Allied CV TF - Saratoga, Lexington 3xCA, CL, 6xDD.
I think Yorktown and Enterprise are close to. He probably using 2xCV TFs to avoid coordination problems. He is doing something there. I think he can building base.

Troops in Singer still loading. One day and they will sail toward Java.

Docup start to sweep my bases in north Indochina and Kendari
We both lost around 40 planes in two days.

I have deliberate PM today. Fort reduced to zero. I have now 560AV, allies forces 200. I will attack tomorrow. I have not decided deliberate or shock?

I'll watch your choice. I would shock to ensure my odds of victory if I think I can win. But, don't let that influence your choice ... do want to see the results either way ...

I have send turn 1h ago.
PM troops will shock. Last day i have second time 1:1 and i was deliberate and fort was 1.
Now with fort 0 I can have 2:1 or if dice will be lucky 3:1. I hope.

PS. After my patrols confirmed allied CV`s presence i thinking about to give visit to Gilbert islands. I am star to make plan.

I will need to rearm BB and CA in Truk. AO TF is 4 days from Truk. CV Junyo will arrive in 4 days. I should be reedy on 7 days.

I will use all my carriers except CVEs. I will replace 2 or 3 Val squadrons with fighters. This will give me 50 extra fighters in TF. Carriers will be split to 4 TF in singe hex to minimize coordination problem. Support will be given by BB TF`s and few forward guard TF(probably PB).

10 MAR 42

PM not taken. Bad dice roll. adds 1:2 I have lost 1200 man, allies 900 man.
Enemy forces reduced to 160AV , my force 520AV. I will rest one or two days.

KB still six hexes from Cairns. Patrols have spotted CA Louisville in hex.
It is starting to be PITA. Only 40 Val`s and 13 Kate`s supported by 40 zeros launch to attack. They score 4x250kg bomb hits. All penetrate armor. After fourth hit pilots rapport heavy internal explosion and also one was "severe damage"

-CA Louisville, Bomb hits 4, on fire, heavy damage
When replay end no sing of CA in hex or port

Escort do good job, none of bombers were shot down but i have lost 17 zeros

All plane start from CVL`s or CVE`s. I do not know why but KB pilots do not whant to fly
10 pilots MIA, 12 KIA

I saw in night move phase CA TF from PM sailing to Darwin

Quiet day.

Two things worth of notice.
During AF bombardment in Akyab my uncoordinated bombers ware caught by RAF training squadron
Sad thing is that attack was predicted by two A6M`s sweeps and they found nothing. 21 Ki-21 bombers lost. I is third time when my bombers are coughs like that. I have lost 50 bombers like that

Shock attack in Rabul. No success

Java invasion one day to target.
KB and MKB one day from Truk. Allied patrol planes spotted in Gilbert Islands

14 MAR 42

Java invasion
112 Infantry Regiment landed in Semarang. Plan was to land also with main forces in Kalidjati but i forgot about "do not unload" button and they stay on ships. I will unload them tomorrow.
Docup send one B-25C Mitchell to attack invasion fleet.

Burma
Bad week for navy pilots. Zeros sweep Rangoon. 9 A6Ms lost for 6 Hurricanes

Port Moresby
Another shock attack. Japanese losses 800 man to 500 allies.
Enemy forces reduced to 60AV. Japan have active 390AV.
I will rest for 1-2 days to reduce disruption

Allied ASW TF damage SS near Colombo. Ship will survive but need to return to Singer for repairs. Second SS damage from bomb hit near Soerabaja. SS will sail to nearest port(Balikpapan)

xAK lost in Salomon sea after torpedo hit from SS O16

8 allied ships (CL, DD + 6 more) detected in Canton Island. I think it is CA TF operating in this area 2 weeks earlier.

EDIT
I have at least 10eng unit sailing to Rabul. I will use them to build and fortify bases around Salomon.

I also think i have made mistake by retreating all naval units to Rabul from PM area. I will send few small SAGs there in next turn. They should scare allies from try to reinforce PM(but i do not think he will try). And if Docup send his naval units to intercept he will be in LBA range from Rabul. I have BB, 3xCA and 12 DD in Rabul i will send them south east of Rabul, they should be in positions in 2 days.

If he try to reinforce i will send reinforcements to PM. I have 300AV in Rabul and 1400AV resting in Manila. Some of units are preparing to PM in case they will be needed.

I will not retreat from PM. Now i have advantage in sea and air and this is only moment when i can win. I hope next attack will be successful.

15 MAR 42

PM
Bad news.
Docup reinforced PM with 44 Austtralian Bn(28AV) and 44 Indian Bde(102AV)

. So my plan to stop that is to late. I will have to find reinforcement and sent them to PM ASAP.
PM have now 200AV enemy forces. I have 480.
Allies have bombarded me and lost more than me.
Zeros sweep PM 12 plane lost 14 P-40 shot down

Java
Almost all units on beach. It will take one more day to unload rest of them and supplies.
Docup send bombers to attack ships and ground units. He manage to score 500lb bomb in xAK. But damage is 1(one). Lucky ship

Two SS attack invasion fleet. One fire 2xtorps to BB but miss. ASW escort do good job. Scoring 9 and 12 hits to subs. Probably both sunk.

S-159 sunk after 300kg bomb hit last day

Burma
Quiet. I am sweeping but no allied planes in air

South Pacific
I-8 sunk enemy DD south of Suva

China
Lots of sweeps, bombing and movments.

KB&MKB
They will sail today to Gilbert's

16-19 MAR 42

Troops landed in Java. I am moving troops to Burma. (I waste 2 last months doing nothing with Burma). Docup group his forces in 3-4 bases leaving rest of bases empty. Paratroops preparing.

Soon I will send reinforcements to PM. MKB is in area to stop another attempts to reinforce PM by allies.

KB sailing east from Truk. He will sail north of gilbert`s and attack Canton Island base from north, north-east direction and if lucky cut of ships from gilbert's. I have spotted there naval forces i think it is allies forward base.
From there KB will sail to Gilbert's to support invasion of Tabiteuea and killing everything he meet there. Only reason Docup send there transports and CV is building base there so i have to stop this before he build up to much.
I everything goes OK, KB after invasion will meet AO`s near Guadalcanal and if KB will be not attrited to much i will sent them south to raid Pogo Pogo. After that they will sail to Truk stooping only for few days to support second PM landing

I am preparing units to Adak. Allies are building base there. I will also land in Luganwille(if i found free units)

In other places normal war day. Bombards, sub and ASW actions.

104(+30 more in 6 days) factories are now R&D Ki-49IIa so I should be able to build it in June

Are there any fully repaired R&D factories? Only the repaired ones do any research... Big factories repair faster but small ones have less repairing to do. AFAIK Michaelm has confirmed the optimal R&D factory size to be 30.

I have three fully repaired 30 size factories, one fully repaired 14(that one from beginning) and one 24(6) so 6 more days and he will be fully repaired also.

All of my R&D factories are 30 size. Except that one 14 size, and few that start bigger on Dec 7

Ok, that explains it then. I've had bad luck with the Ki-49 R&D and have had a factory just 1 point from being repaired for over 2 months now...

So no progress with the R&D.

I use Ki-49-I factory to repair factories and when they are fully repaired i upgrade them manually to next model in path.
That factory 24(6) is Ki-49-I model and in 6 days i will manually upgrade to Ki-49-IIa

I doing this also with other planes. I have 6xA6M3 factories they should be fully repaired in June so after upgrade to A6M3a i will be able to produce ~180 points in month.
So A6M3a can be active in august/September if i will have luck

All my factories are set to first model in upgrade path. I also have in all R&D bases 10000+ supplies. I am not sure but I notice that in bases with 10k+ supplies, factories repair faster:)

Yes, thats the way, the closer the date the quicker they repair. But its not guaranteed, just more likely.

Making R&D like this cost me around 200k supplies and 18k HI but i thing it will repay with better air performance in future and also i will be able to have some good planes even 6-9 months earlier

Because i am playing with PDU ON i will focus R&D only on few models
In fighters it is only Zero, OSCAR, Tojo and later Frank. I will also skip few middle models of Zero and Tojo to maximize acceleration of later better models

What can i say about repair rate of Ki-49I - from at lest 20-30 days(middle February) they are repairing 1 point one day ratio

Well the cost to expand and repair factories is the same any way...

You dont think R&Ding N1K1-J or Ki-61 is worth it? N1K1-J is IJNAF's best fighter and Ki-61-Ic is the first single engine cannon-armed fighter for IJAAF. And the Ki-61-Id while it has crap performance it is service rating 2 and has best firepower out of all Army fighters(except Ki-84b, but 84a does not upgrade to it and its early 1945 plane...). No P1Y1, B6N, B7A or Ki-67-I(T) either?
