I didn't change any air or ship leaders in KB. I just set up the attacks as listed above and let it rip. Good die rolls for
me.

OK, my overall plan for this game.

Leaving China out of the discussion for now, I plan to take what I consider the historical planned areas. That would be
all of Burma, DEI, Timor, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, some or all of the Gilberts, some of the Western Aleutians. I will
attempt to make it costly in time and equipment to retake these areas.

In China I will be trying to take Sian and Yenan plus pushing north into Urumachi. The important base to take will be
Tienshui northwest of Sian. That cuts the road network to the north. After I need to try and clear the major road
from Hanoi to Shanghai. I don't know how far I will get with this, but I am going to try.

Your goals sound reasonable.

Any ideas about W Australia, Cocos and Christmas Is IO?

Also, what do you plan for Urumchi? I was eager to take this, but it hasn't been easy to get anything to move from it.

Coco and Christmas Island(IO) probably if he doesn't fight too hard for them. Western OZ, probably not. I intend to use
Timor to base Netties to keep the Allied naval forces at bay, including supply.

I'm not sure if I can get the oil/fuel to move from Urumachi, but I just want to eliminate his forces in that area and
there are a couple of bases that produce supply that I can always use. It is a fairly low priority for me, but a
necessary clean up operation.

Turn 2 is done. I had a Betty unit be the first into Manilla, with no prior sweep or escorts. It was ugly.
I lost 16 aircraft and 8 pilots.

I also had a number of Netties that did not fly to
Manilla.

We will do it again tomorrow and hope for better results.

I took Kota Bharu and my armored element pursued all the way to the next hex. Air bombardments and another
DA.

Ocean Island fell to me. And Aparri fell to my paratroops.

A series of encounters with the 8 MTBs from Hong Kong resulted in the sinking of all 8 of them.

Running battles with the 2 x DD, 1 x DM TF from Honk Kong resulted in one damaged DD for me and 3 very damaged
ships for the Allies.

All 5 BBs that showed sunk on day one are now on the sunk ship list.

This game seems to be petering out. I sent back a turn the 31st and got an email back the 2nd that said he would to the
turn Sunday. Still no turn or email.

Unlucky, hope you find a fresh foe soon!

I'm not going to be looking for a new foe. My really slow game has picked up. My opponent has recovered from
medical problems and we are doing 2 - 5 turns a day now.

Harvey sent me a turn tonight. I have run the combat and things are interesting.

At first light, Marblehead and friends tangled with my CVL Ryujo. An inclusive fight.
Day Time Surface Combat, near Tandjoengselor at 70,95, Range 20,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
CVL Ryujo
CL Nagara, Shell hits 1
DD Hatsukaze
DD Natsushio
DD Hayashio, Shell hits 1, on fire
DD Amatsukaze

Allied Ships
CL Marblehead, Shell hits 2
DD Barker, Shell hits 2
DD Bulmer, Shell hits 5, on fire
DD Stewart
-------------------------
I then had 40 Nells attack PoW and Repulse at Miri, but they used bombs, I do not know why.
7 Bettys flew next and put one Torpedo into PoW. Interesting that I have Kongo and Haruna in the
next hex. I will back my transports up and attack with my BBs. Hopefully I can at least damage them
and my Nells and Bettys will fly with torpedos.
------
I found Houston and Boise together next to Tawi Tawi. My Kates flew but didn't hit anything. I have
a SCTF just North with Mogami and Mikuma. I will try to intercept. I also have a SCTF to the South
with Myoko and Haguo, they might not be up to the task, but they will put the stopper in the Magassar
Strait. My CVL Ryujo TF will drift to the West a bit but stay in range to hit anything in the area.
I must move it toward Mando and Ternate to cover those landings.
