We're playing some serious games right now in the IO. Junyo pulls back from the combat area without issue. The Mini-KB heads towards Singapore for the moment.

A TF of 2 CL (Oi and Kitakami) plus 8 DD find serious game engaging CA Pensacola and 4 DDs at Ramree. Both of the Training Cruisers (they are NOT TT Cruisers in RA) get clobbered fairly well but should get home. They pummel Pensacola with 10 hits that penetrate her sides and cause some serious damage. Sinking sounds were heard so perhaps she and another seriously damaged DD or two went down? Would be nice if this happened. The same TF also tangled with CL Achilles and two DDs without any real result.

Up north a small TF of DD Selfridge and an AK try to unload at Cold Bay but are easily sunk by Vals. NICE!

TF headed to pick-up the SNLF Brigades at both Dutch Harbor and Akutan. They are now prepping for Cold Bay (4 Units, no supply, and about 4,000 troops) along with NE Area Fleet. Those two units (and Kawafuto Brigade) will land there in about a month. Plan to pull out 7th ID and bring it back to the Kuriles. BB Yamato heads home with 2 CA to meet up with her sister in about 25 days...

CARDIV1 and CARDIV5 are about 3 days from Home!

The Aleutians are going to stay semi-active.

Decisions:
Naval
1. CarDiv2 departs for the Home Islands, Singapore, and then the IO.
2. Yamato, several CAs, and a few DDs left a couple of days ago headed for Kobe.

Future OPs
This will leave two BBs and a decent amount of escorts to move on to Cold Bay. A crapload of shipping is up here so I can move 7th ID back to Attu and prepare to assault Cold Bay using 2 SNLF Assault Brigades and the Kawafuto Brigade. Kawafuto is already at 100% prep. The others will need about 10 days to get over 50%. The NE Pacific Command is also prepping for the assault. They will be moved into range to boost the assault value of the attack. Once that base is acquired, the SNLF and Kawafuto will remain in the Aleutians to be the prime garrison troops for the area.

Airpower
The same air units remain: 2 Daitai of Zero, 2 Daitai of Vals, 2 Daitai of Kates, and 18 Emily for search.

Naval Commitment: 2 CVL, 4 BC, 5 CA, 4 CL, 17 DD

Airpower: 3 Daitai of Zero, 2 Daitai of Betty, 1 Daitai of Vals, Daitai of Kates, and 24 Emily.

Ground:
Makin Invasion---6th Inf Div (60%) and 1st Maizuru SNLF Brigade (74%)

Tarawa Invasion---14th Inf Div (67%), 56th Inf Div (56%) and 14th Naval Guard (57%)

Abemama Invasion---1st Para SNLF Brigade (80%)

Makin and Tarawa have been bombarded and attacked from the air EVERYDAY since the landing. There has been little to no chance for building Forts and little AA fire. Supplies are very low and I want to land on these atolls much sooner then later. Dan will be back and I want these places before that EVENT!

Dan has lost his opportunity to take Burma cheaply. How he has waited for 6-8 weeks having a major army sitting in the jungle AND NOT DONE ANYTHING defies my imagination. It was his for the taking. NOT NOW. OK. I will go through the current dispositions and reinforcements that are arriving (almost daily):

Up NORTH:
We've got a Brigade and a TK Regiment up in Myitkyina Area.

CENTRAL Irrawaddy
The Mandalay--Swebo--Magwe area has LOTS of AF and Fort Construction going on. More and more Base Forces are arriving as well as Engineers.

33rd ID sits in Mandalay. 12th ID advances north into the jungle above Swebo. 4th ID advances north into the jungle NW of Magwe. A TK Reg sits on the west side of the Irrawaddy watching for troops.

SOUTHERN Irrawaddy
Rangoon and Moulmein have the big HQs and lots of Support Troops. The 21st ID just unloaded with the 25th Army HQ. It shall move to Prome and advance on Ramree. The 48th ID is just off the screen following the coast headed for Rangoon. It will advance on Ramree as well. A Raider Reg is moving to Toungoo.

Three TK Regiments sit in Rangoon waiting for the arrival of the remaining elements of the 2nd TK Div. Those elements just left Shanghai two days ago.

Up at Ramree sits a TK Reg. An Inf Reg is at Prome.

Should note that the Imperial Guards ID is sitting at Pt Blair.

Naval
You can see the damaged ships approaching Rangoon from the last couple of surface encounters.

There are ships at the edge of my Kate--Zero range near Port Blair. An Air Flotilla is headed there to provide some teeth to the bombers.

Damaged Junyo is creeping along the coast at cruise speed heading for Singers. Mini-KB just reached Singapore.

I've successfully knocked the Nationalists (almost) out of the war (it is now late January 1943, I have Chungking surrounded and have broken his army everywhere else but the far west of China), but Burma has heated up. He threw me out of the clear hexes, but I have managed to stall my opponent in the jungles and around Toungoo.

Status: offline 		Yeah, always have to beware of flanking maneuvers. Moulmen and along the coast all the way to Singers, plus Sumatra, needs to be prepped, at least with forts to retreat to. Anything that can threaten the flow of oil has to be guarded against. But you know that. :)

Do you hold Christmas IO and/or Cocos Island?

Status: offline 		I have blasted the Lvl-1 AF. It isn't operational at the moment.

PLANS? Hmm...

Going to keep hammering the AF. Got to bring in more Base Forces for AFs. Want to surprise him with the Tojo so I will pull back 3 Sentai to upgrade and then deploy them all at once. Maximum bang for the deployment buck.

Will move 21st ID into the hex and see what is there. Have two more IDs traveling to Rangoon presently from the Philippines. Add those to the others and we'll see just how hard it might be to re-take.

MUST stop his shipping. This is the problem. I've got 4 CV about to be taken out of action for a full six weeks. Perhaps CarDiv2, Hiyo, 4 CVL, and 3 CVE will be enough to grab temporary control of the Bay of Bengal? If I was Dan I would move the CVs over here and fully concentrate everything. Lordy. Maybe I'll stop the upgrade (they are 2 days from the Home Islands) and commit EVERYTHING to the IO? Could field over 700 Aircraft from the CVs if I do...THAT might be a worthy SURPRISE!


Man...I'll take any suggestions...

Which is what I would expect. Eastern OZ is so close, it just makes sense. Maybe even WASP is heading there (after the witthdrawal of CarDiv 2 are you taking any special measures against a sudden show of her in the Aleutian theater, btw?). The Marshalls are evidently a side show binding several major assets for weeks and months, assets that would otherwise be pushing and grabbing more terrain. I am wondering whether this was a smart move, but it would seem it gained him at least 1-2 months respite.

Upgrades especially of AAA and radar are worthy, though I don't now how this is with RA. Probably even more so? However, I tend to agree, the clock is ticking and things are rather "in the balance" in the IO since you let this theater be a side show for so long. There must be some ripe fruits, and for 1942 a (successful) carrier clash would be what is missing to really gain time. Not upgrading now is a risk I'd take at this point, especially with 3 more 3 CV due in early 43 (in case the clash goes bad...). Maybe upgrade just one carrier at a time?

I vote no. "Ping-ponging" your heavy CV assets around the map is not a judicious use of this resource, IMO. Improve them (upgrade) and figure another less fuel-intensive asset to interdict his shipping in the IO. Subs? Fast raiding Cl SCTFs? Netties? Low-nav trained IJAAF assets? All of the above?

What about going over to the OFFENSIVE in the Theatre he has committed to? I tend to agree with doing the upgrades immediately. This said, I have enough points about to pick-up another Inf Div. This is my thinking from church. He is forward-committed with powerful kland forces just sitting--for some reason--in the jungle. What about investing Ramree with a solitary ID and then thrust 3-4 ID up that road and drive on Akyab. This could force HIM to react and not vice-versa. He would be in the jungle and take forver to move while I could be using a trail/road.

This could work. I need to bring in more assets and get ready for the move and THIS will take enough time I might be able to do the upgrades of the CVs and then bring them in as a HAMMER to really bring the point home.

OK. The orders are cut. 25th Army and Southern Command are prepping for Ramree. 14th Army is going to hold the Central Irrawaddy. I will complete a tentative Order-of-Battle for the upcoming land operation within a few turns.

Bumped Tojos up another 40 or so with the target goal being 200 or so a month. Correspondingly did the same with engines. Already have 500 produced so we're good there. Three Sentai are designated to convert from Oscar to Tojo.

CarDiv1 and CarDiv5 will upgrade in the Home Islands. The ENTIRE Kido Butai will deploy to the IO to gain control of it and crush shipping there.

Operation Ichikki-1

FROM: Southern Army Command
TO: HQ 14th and 25th Army

ORDERS for Operation Ichikki-1:

14th Army shall march from Prome, BURMA to Ramree Island, deploy, and 'occupy' the Allied Forces present there. Units assigned are 16th ID and 48th ID plus two Engineer Regiments, and 4 Artillery Regiments.

25th Army shall march through the 14th Army's lines and advance on the Allied position at Akyab. Units assigned are 18th ID, 21st ID, 59th ID, and the 2nd TK Division.

Both army's need to be aware that their flanks shall be on the sea and they shall be vulnerable to Naval Bombardment. The 59th and 2nd TK are in transit to Rangoon but opening moves shall commence immediately. While 14th Army moves into Ramree the 25th shall drive back the enemy force NE of Ramree in preparation for the advance on Akyab.

All aerial assets available (including CV-Based Fighters) are being deployed to AF in the area to provide CAP and harrass enemy bombing units that have picked up their tempo in recent days. Recent ambush tactics of LR CAP hitting the 2nd and 3rd Waves of aerial bombing shall be continued since good success has been achieved. Army bombers shall continue to pound the enemy AF at Ramree to forestall increased Allied fighter presence.

It is throughly expected that the Imperial Fleet will deploy in overwhelming force to destroy Allied shipping and warship about September 1st.

That is all.

Status: offline 		I know supply will be difficult but I hope to draw CR AWAY from his current positions along the Irrawaddy Perimeter. He has deployed the two Aussie ID, several British Brigades, and a good number of Indian Brigades into the jungle. That is A LOT of Inf firepower forward deployed into the jungle that will not be able to move very quickly. He will have the SAME supply issues that I will also.

I expect Ramree to be garrisoned an Inf Div and a Brigade plus 4-5 Engineer/Base Forces. Akyab has eleven units in it with a stack moving due east into the jungle.

The Allied bases from Chittagong to Ramree have been reconned everyday for the last couple of months.

Sho--Zui just went into Upgrade Mode at Yokohoma.

Akagi--Kaga will tomorrow at Hiroshima (7-17).

He staged a CAP Trap over Ramree this turn that bagged a couple of Fighters and about 14 Bombers but it cost him about an equal number of fighters. Will add a Sweep into tomorrow's Operations. Two hexes west of Ramree a TF was spotted and Kates sank an AK--AP getting 13 Guns and 60+ Vehicles. NICE to hit LOADED shipping. A 5 DD sweep of Ramree is ordered for tomorrow.

Two days from Makin Landing.

About to load troops for Luganville.

Five DDs plow into the Ramree area and find themselves 2,000 Yds from 1 CA, 4 CL, and 4 DDs. YIKES! FIRE Long Lances. ALL MISS...lose two DDs for the effort. Grrrr....

The regular attacks on Cold Bay by Vals and Kates run into 20 Buffalo and P-40s flying at 25-30,000 Ft. Of COURSE these planes fly this high normally. They get the bounce every fight against my Zeros flying at 17,000 Ft and get right through the escort and chew into my bombers. Lose about 25 planes for just a couple of American. Double Grrrr...

I wanted a HR on Altitude limits but it didn't fly (pardon the pun).

CarDiv1 started their upgrade at Hiroshima.

Makin Landing scheduled for tomorrow.

Sorry for the sarcasm in the report. Only got to watch it with one eye as the Boston Marathon Events were being reported. CRAP to those cowardly bombers! My .02...

Agreed but it shouldn't even be needed. Those sorts of altitudes weren't really used very much until later in the war. This is simply the war over getting 'the bounce.' I'll respond but vastly raising my Zero's altitude and so on...
