Or maybe he just forgot to recombine them before attacking. It happened to me a few times.

I doubt you would be upgrading troops in combat; you break them apart to recover, an simply forget to recombine them for the attack. Oops: What Setloz says.

Status: offline 		Tom does turn around turns very quickly so it is possible he misses things occasionally.

However, it is surprising that he misses messages that appear in the message window. More likely, he simply doesn't care. He has lost 227 C-47 so far, only 12 of them air-air, it is hardly a massive cost.

An expensive mistake, following the disappearance of a Chinese unit, I forgot to set some bombers and they were left on Commander's decision. They decide to bomb troops at Kalemyo and flak losses are bad.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake

On a more serious note, perhaps he is just trying to burn your supply. He can always bring more, while you have to risk a convoy getting there.

Ah well, he abandoned the bombardments this turn.

Supply situation in Darwin is quite good. About 27,000 there. I burn about 100 a day, if he bombards that adds another 150, if he launches air attacks another 250 and a deliberate attack seems to burn the best part of a 1000 supply. So supply should last until end of March at least.

Of course, he has no way of knowing just how much supply I have there. He may think I am running short and flying some supply in. I have been taking some ops losses amongst transports because I have been flying troops out to the Bonins and picking up some of the isolated troops in the Marshalls. He may think they are flying supplies into Darwin.

The convoy I-3 attacked contained 22 AP/AK. A few days ago another big convoy of xAP reached Sydney. It looks like he has sent a lot of troops to Australia. Add in the forces deployed at Darwin it looks very likely there will be an attack from Australia sometime soon. Where will it come?

I hope you are taking advantage of the snooze turns to prepare!

Then, again, he has to use ships in the DEI and you should have some very strong interlocking airfields.

Numbers are the main air bases.

Circled bases are the main places defensive forces will be deployed. Eventually, all of these could have a division defending them. Koepang is the only base currently strongly held with Saumlaki being fairly well held. A division is en route to Lautem.

Seriously, land strength won't win this battle. It will be your air and navy. There are so many bases for the Allies to potentially grab, and develop, and they will simply isolate the divisions.

Of course that will all take time...it will be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

Land strength won't win but it should (a) force the Allies to spend more time in areas where air and naval forces can attack them, (b) reduce the opportunities for cheap invasions, (c) give units available for counter-attacks.

Any suggestions on how to use them effectively? Dropping on established bases means likely to only damage ships. Dropping on newly captured bases and he probably has mine sweeping assets to clear instantly. Drop in small parcels or big bundles? Keep them for the confined waters of the DEI?

One thought is to hold them back until the Ki-74-I is available and try some mining of distant ports.

RO-100 misses a sub on sub attack against S-33 in the Solomons.

I-16 takes a shot at the Yorktown and scores 1 hit with an "AMMO STORAGE EXPLOSION". Not enough to sink her but should force her back to the yards. Search suggests a splinter task force of 2 ships 1 CV and 1 DD so could well have detached into an escort task force.

Marshalls

Allied forces are spotted East of Taongi. Could be heading for Eniwetok or Wake. Movement is reported as Eastwards so could be pulling back to Pearl or could be heading for the NORPAC at the end of winter.

Solomons, etc.

Lightnings sweep Milne Bay and have the first encounter with the N1K1-J. 5 P-38G for 6 N1K1-J, 5 A6M5, 3 Ki-44-IIc. Still not a good loss ratio but it is enough that it may attrit the Lightning force.

Well, for you historical gamers, you might fix bayonets and charge. Conquer or die trying! Shock attack.

The mores sane among us would fly them out, saving the PP from those very expensive units you have there. Send the remnant to Java and they will rebuild quickly.

Where did you nail the carrier?

Watch out for Wake....he will want it prior to taking Marcus. Marcus for good search on the Marianas and the Bonins. Both Islands would be good potentials for counter attacks. Even prepping a division for each might delay his attack...

Status: offline 		Thought about an attack at Darwin as I have a command HQ still prepped and he would lose his command HQ bonus but disruption is 85+ in the 2 divisions.

I assumed I wouldn't be able to evacuate as I don't control the base.

Already extracted cadres for both divisions and most of the engineering assets. The AA don't but that just redeploys them back to the home isles.

Picture of where the Allied CVs are spotted. As only some longish ranged search over area this may be an incomplete picture.

Status: offline 		That doesn't look good. Maybe he will pull back with a fish in the belly of the Yorktown. Then again, Mr. Kane seems fairly aggressive in a focused kind of way.

No reason for them to be there, but for Wake.

Taongi is a good place to slap some Jakes for search...

Lost sight of some of his forces next turn but the CV's headed 9 hexes ESE. Lots of forces reported at Roi-Namur and Kwajalein Island.
