Lost Bases:
Wau, Melak, Palopo.
The DEI:
Not much action here, with the exception of largely ineffectual Japanese artillery bombardments in Palembang, which is fine by me. There is a large concentration of Japanese ships in Samarinda, though, including a surface task force. All three CarDivs that have been sighted in the region are nowhere to be seen.
The Philippines:
Manila was bombed, bombarded, bombed again, and then the kitchen sink was thrown at it:

Taking into account that Manila is being attacked by 65th Bde, 16th Div, 48th Div, and 7th Rgt, the last artillery bombardment leads me to think that those units are disrupted, depleted, or both.
Burma:
There are 24k Japanese troops in the hex NE of Pegu, along 160 guns and 5 AFVs. There is an additional unit crossing the river. In the hex I have the 17th Indian Inf Div, 46th Indian Inf Bde, and British 7th Armoured Bde. My AV is 487, and the British tank boys are both experienced and in good spirits. We will see.
Japanese Bombardment attack at 56,52 (near Pegu) DAY ONE
Japanese ground losses:
* 23 casualties reported
*** Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
*** Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 1 disabled
*** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
Allied ground losses:
* 23 casualties reported
*** Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled
*** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
*** Engineers: 1 destroyed, 0 disabled
Japanese Bombardment attack at 56,52 (near Pegu) DAY TWO
Japanese ground losses:
* 8 casualties reported
*** Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled
*** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
*** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
Allied ground losses:
* 229 casualties reported
*** Squads: 1 destroyed, 15 disabled
*** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 7 disabled
*** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled
Disabled squads on day 2 were high because the 7th and 46th arrived that day in movement mode (only way to get them there fast). They should not take so many losses from now on.
China:
Three Japanese units arrived at Wuchow, but did not attack. They probably will next turn. Chengchow was not as lucky, but combat there has been bloody:
Japanese Deliberate attack at Chengchow (88,44) DAY ONE
Japanese ground losses:
* 3178 casualties reported
*** Squads: 47 destroyed, 192 disabled
*** Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 55 disabled
*** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 14 disabled
*** Guns lost 35 (4 destroyed, 31 disabled)
*** Vehicles lost 10 (1 destroyed, 9 disabled)
Allied ground losses:
* 2358 casualties reported
*** Squads: 22 destroyed, 161 disabled
*** Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 35 disabled
*** Engineers: 2 destroyed, 17 disabled
Japanese Deliberate attack at Chengchow (88,44) DAY TWO
Japanese ground losses:
* 2302 casualties reported
*** Squads: 97 destroyed, 57 disabled
*** Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 28 disabled
*** Engineers: 2 destroyed, 27 disabled
Allied ground losses:
* 1723 casualties reported
*** Squads: 11 destroyed, 176 disabled
*** Non Combat: 4 destroyed, 31 disabled
*** Engineers: 4 destroyed, 10 disabled
Every turn I fear the city will fall, and every turn those Chinese troops surprise me and keep hanging on, while bloodying the enemy. 144 IJA squads destroyed last turn!
SW Pacific:
The Japanese CarDiv is npowhere to be seen, but I am not risking it. Ships are doing only critical missions in the area.
Central Pacific:
There is a Japanese CarDiv 5 hexes west of Jarvis Island. All Allied shipping has been ordered to flee for their lives.
