Tunny fired 4 torpedoes at small tanker Mitu Maru near Medan. Tunny is patrolling in the shallow water there. A torpedo hit, but it was a dud. That's the 2nd dud hit for Tunny in 2 days. Soon it will be 1943 and the torpedoes will get some improvement to the dud rate. So far there have been 76 dud hits out of 92 total hits, for the applicable US subs with dud issues.

US 43 Infantry Division arrived at Capetown. It is ordered to load up and head to Ceylon. One day to load and 14 days to get onto the map. The movement of many units for the Burma invasions continues from Bombay to Ceylon.

5 Tinas were ops losses today, most ever. They may have flown in supply to the troops isolated southeast of Darwin. Just a guess.

Unloading of troops continues at Rennell Island, south of Guadalcanal. I had many good APs disbanded in port, waiting for the next invasions in the area, but they were spotted, so I pulled out most of the shipping, and ordered them to stand off of the islands to the south until it is time to load. Soon troops will load for Munda, Vangunu, Rossel Island and Tagula Island.

Near Boela, Seawolf fired 2 torpedoes at destroyer Shiranui but missed. 2 seaplane carriers, cruisers and destroyers are spotted. It turns out, later in the day, that this is KB.

Sailfish fired 2 torpedoes at PB Kinsyo Maru #4. One hit but was a dud.

Oscars swept Dobo, finding Spitfires and P-40Es. 8 Oscars were downed, for the cost of 5 Spits and 3 Warhawks.

37 Tojos swept Chungking for the first time. 4 squadrons of Chinese fighters, with decent pilots, defended. The Tojos came in at 30000 feet, and tore up the Chinese. 13 P-66s and 6 P-43s were downed, as were 4 Tojos. This is a bad development. Up until today, the Tojos have been flying escort duty in China, doing so for months. I would very occasionally try a CAP trap somewhere in China, and this kept the enemy using many fighters for escort.

Now Chungking is vulnerable. The Chinese cannot defend it alone. I order the few operational planes out of the capital. If I want to protect the capital, and the industry there, I can either send in 2 or 3 non-Chinese fighter squadrons. Anything less will get torn up by the Tojos. Right now, I don't think I can afford to send quality airframes to Chungking. I may change my mind though. One thing I cannnot do is hit his airbases. Supply is critical in China.

Let's hope that the upcoming Burma invasions will be successful, and ultimately open up a supply route to China.

In the meantime, Changsha was attacked heavily. All of the following groups attacked in the morning, so no duplicates.

Ki-21-IIa Sally x 22
Ki-43-IIb Oscar x 12
Ki-48-IIa Lily x 5
Ki-49-IIa Helen x 5
Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 36
Ki-48-IIa Lily x 20
Ki-21-IIa Sally x 25
Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 30
Ki-49-IIa Helen x 20

The one remaining B-17D squadron hit Buna's port. The "D" model is inadequately armed with guns, so I send them on relative milk runs. OPilot got lucky and had LRCAP over Buna. 18 Zeros hit the bombers and downed 9 of them.

4 B-17 squadrons flew to Kendari and hit the port. There was no CAP. Here's a summary of ship hits:

PB Tatsumiya Maru, Bomb hits 1
ACM Wa 10, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk

AKE Clyde Maru, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires
AG Aki Maru, Bomb hits 4, heavy fires, heavy damage
PB Tatsumiya Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire

AG Aki Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage
PB Tatsumiya Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires

There obviously weren't a lot of ships in port. Hopefully there's a shortage of AKEs in the area now. That could help Taberfane and Dobo. It's interesting to note that I now see multiple ADs at Koepang, in a task force, not in the port. I have the range to hit the port with B-17s but not the range to hit ships in task forces.

OPilot moved a single subchaser to Lae. At least most of the CAP was over Buna instead of Lae.

Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Lae at 99,126

Weather in hex: Thunderstorms

Raid detected at 20 NM, estimated altitude 15,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 7 minutes

Dobo is bombarded by an enemy 4 battleship task force. 3 already damaged planes are destroyed. 706 casualties and massive base damage. Dobo is out of action now. Taberfane has repaired quite a bit since its last bombardment. Taberfane has mines now too.

An unusually good day for a US fleet sub in 1942. Gurnard spots 2 xAKs and a patrol boat east of Saipan. 2 torpedoes are fired at xAK Sinsei Maru. One hits and is NOT a dud. The ship is on fire with heavy damage, and there are troops loaded on it. 42 casualties. Then Gurnard attacks again, this time firing 2 torpedoes at the other cargo ship, xAK Kamikaze Maru. One hits and is NOT a dud. No damage noted, but there are troops on this ship too. 19 casualties. A very nice day for the silent service, with just 11 days to go until some improvement in the dud rate.

Zeros swept Taberfane but found no CAP. Then KB launched a strike on Taberfane, with 23 Vals, 26 Judys, 20 Kates and 95 A6M3a Zeros. Moderate damage to the airfield. This is the first appearance of the Judys.

Lilys bombed Dobo.

What will KB do next?

Wahoo is patrolling south of Tokyo. 2 ACMs, apparently moving unescorted, are spotted. 2 torpedoes were fired at ACM Keinan Maru. One hit (maybe 2) and one was a dud (maybe both). It can be hard to tell how many dud hits were duds when they occur consecutively. The dud message just lingers a bit longer. The ACMs escape.

Enemy cruisers Myoko, Nagara and Yura, with 4 destroyers, move into Taberfane, and engage 6 PT boats. 2 PTs are sunk. The ships then bombard Taberfane, causing 273 casualties and doing moderate damage to the base. During the day, the ships were re-engaged by the remaining 4 PT boats. Another PT boat was sunk. The PT boats are now just about out of fuel and disband into the port. There's no fuel at Taberfane and Dobo. There had been a tanker convoy inbound, but they got spooked when KB appeared inbound.

An enemy task force with 3 cruisers and 6 destroyers bombarded Cox's Bazar, causing 615 casualties and doing moderate to heavy damage to the base.

US subs make a first appearance west of Sapporo. Silversides spots a big cargo convoy, and fired 4 torpedoes at xAK Senko Maru. 3 torpedoes hit, and none of the hits were dud hits. The ship is thought to have sunk.

The usual enemy bombing in China.

It was a very bad day over Lae. An enemy combat task force appeared, consisting of destroyers and maybe a couple of cruisers. The bombers at Port Moresby attacked. The first 17 SBDs flew with 19 Wildcat escorts, but there were over 50 Zeros on CAP. Only 3 SBDs dropped bombs and none hit. And it got worse from there. 16 SBDs flew unescorted. Then 16 more SBDs attacked unescorted. The lucky pilots were the smart ones that turned around when they realized there was no escort, and that it was going to get ugly. Total losses were 32 SBD-3s and 9 F4F-4s. One Zero was an ops loss. A terrible day. The reinforcement rate for the SBD-3s is 21 per month, so that's a month and a half of losses, and the SBDs are more needed on the carriers.

I get disgusted with the results but I get over it. I've relearned (for the millionth time) to be more careful.

It's almost time for the invasions in the Solomons and the islands east of Milne Bay. These landings are not particularly important. They are meant to inch closer to Rabaul and keep the enemy's attention for awhile. We know that KB is on the other side of New Guinea, so the Allied CVEs should be relatively safe covering the island landings. Only one CVE has divebombers; the rest all have fighters.

22 Dec 42

Southeast of Truk, Dutch sub O19 spots a convoy of small cargo ships. 2 torpedoes are fired at xAKL Naruo Maru. One hits. The ship is carrying fuel and burns, and probably sank later in the day.

Greenling spots a convoy of tiny yard oilers near Ominato. 2 torpedoes are fired at tiny YO J-3999. Both hit but one is a dud. The oiler is carrying oil, and burns, and is most certainly sunk. Greenling and Silversides are patrolling west and southwest of Sapporo. Enemy patrol boats are arriving in the area, hunting for them. No sign of air ASW yet.

With the enemy's successful fighter sweep of Chungking 2 days ago, OPilot waited a day to gauge my reaction (there was none), and today hit the capital hard. Enemy strikes were out of order, but there was no CAP, with the Chinese squadrons mostly evacuated to India.

22 Sallys with 48 Oscars bombed, hitting 2 heavy industry.
28 Tojos swept, finding nothing.
27 Oscars swept, finding nothing.
20 Lilys with 48 Oscars bombed, damaging the airfield.
20 Helens bombed, damaging the airfield.

I'm not sure whether to send in significant Allied fighters to Chungking and defend the captial, or leave it undefended and let the enemy destroy the industry, and supply, at will. I decide, for today, to send in help. 2 P-40K and 2 Hurricane squadrons move to the capital and will stack the CAP.

I don't have the supply to keep so many aircraft in China, but I can't afford the loss of so much industry and supply. Two options, neither is very good. We'll see how today goes. Hopefully the enemy appears again today.

Americal and support will attack the isolated enemy southeast of Darwin.

Solomons invasion shipping moves out today. Some will go to Tassafronga, to invade Munda tomorrow. Others will join the CVEs to the southeast of Tagula Island. The CVE task force was not spotted, but the escorting combat ships were spotted, as were the minesweepers with it. It has to look like something is ongoing, but what exactly is probably unknown.

3 US destroyers have been patrolling around the Aleutians for awhile. They get spotted by a Glen now and then, but I hadn't run into that sub until today. I-9 was hit by 2 depth charges and many near misses from destroyer Buchanon. The sub may or may not make it home.

The CAP ambush at Chungking didn't happen. The enemy switched the target for those planes to Ankang, and the Allied squadrons moved to the capital were spotted. I make a wild guess and move the fighters to Changsha today.

It's good to see more concern from the enemy about the situation in eastern Burma near Myitkyina. 53 Sallys with 42 Oscars bombed an Indian division showing movement northeast of the base. It's a feint. More importantly, there's enemy ground movement out of Myitkyina shown, to the east, into the jungle. This is great news. The 33rd Infantry Division had pulled back south to Myitkyina when my movement was shown, and this division may be moving into the jungle to meet my apparent advance. In the jungle, this unit will be slower to try to react to the huge invasion of Burma coming in the next few weeks.

B-24s from Townsville hit Woodlark Island, damaging the airfield. Woodlark, and airfield size 2, is the closest threat to the invasion bases of Tagula and Rossel. These invasions, along with Munda, will take place tomorrow. Allied shipping was spotted south of Tagula, but again, the CVEs were not spotted.

Reduction of enemy forces southeast of Darwin continues.

24 Dec 42

Near Russell Islands, RO-67 missed slow light cruiser Adelaide with 6 torpedoes. Adelaide is escorting the invasion ships to Munda. Had Adelaide been slowed, the timely arrival at Munda at night may not have occurred.

3 enemy heavy cruisers and 6 destroyers bombarded Cox's Bazar, doing minimal damage.

Munda, Vangunu, Tagula and Rossel Islands were invaded. No mines spotted anywhere.

My guess to move fighters to Changsha pays off. 21 Sallys with 39 Tojos arrive and find 44 P-40Ks. Only a couple of the Tojos actually engaged the Warhawks, who tear into the bomber group. 10 Sallys and 1 Tojo are downed, with no Warhawks lost. I redeploy the fighters back to the capital today.

Enemy troops on Munda and Tagula are bombed.

24 P-38Gs sweep Lae from Port Moresby, finding 33 A6M3 Zeros on CAP. 7 Zeros are downed for the loss of 3 Lightnings.

In the afternoon, 22 Bettys with 40 A6M2 Zeros attack invasion shipping at Munda, flying from Rabaul. 18 F4F-4 Wildcats are on LRCAP. The Wildcats do well, but the Zeros are too numerous and keep the US fighters from getting to the Bettys. All 22 Bettys drop torpedoes. All target CL Adelaide, and all miss in severe storms.

Then 26 Bettys arrive, unescorted. 5 Wildcats are still patrolling but don't find the enemy. The Bettys target CL Adelaide and hit it with a torpedo. SYS 19/FLOT 32-25/ENG 0/FIRE 0 About half of the Bettys went after PT boats, missing.

In both strikes, no Bettys attacked the few valuable APs unloading troops at Munda.

Another reduction in the isolated enemy southeast of Darwin. I'm assuming that since there's been no enemy retreat from this hex in 2 attacks, the path to the nearest enemy base, far to the west at Wyndham, is too far. The enemy will be eliminated completely within a few days.

Seems like luck was with you during those Betty raids in the Solomons. OPilot was probably very frustrated with the results.

26 Dec 42

Cruisers Australia, Marblehead and Trenton with 3 DDs bombard Tagula, causing 117 casualties and minor base damage. Medium and heavy bombers hit the base and troops there also. Woodlark Island, to the north, was bombed.

Zeros swept Vangunu, expecting ships to be unloading with LRCAP provided, but there was none.

20 P-38Gs swept Lae and found 24 A6M3 Zeros. 15 Zeros were downed for the loss of one Lightning.

Tojos swept Hengyang, but no Allied fighters to be found. They went to the capital.

Halibut found a convoy at Hollandia, which is being built up. 4 patrol boats and one yard oiler spotted. 2 torpedoes were fired at PB Fumi Maru. One hit but was a dud.

Desperate fighting by small units. The enemy is out of supply and should be defeated, but with losses. More aircraft bombing should ensure victory.

There was a gold nugget in SigInt today. There's an AKE at Georgetown. Doesn't sound like much, but enemy support ships mostly left Rangoon after my last port bombing. They may have gone to Georgetown. This is good information and may be useful after Port Blair is taken. Heavy bombers from the Andamans could hit Georgetown, I think. Lack of support ships would hinder an enemy response to what is coming soon in Burma.

27 Dec 42

US APDs unload troops at Deboyne Island. The island is not defended.

Cox's Bazar is attacked by 53 Sallys and 42 Oscars. Another 40 Oscars sweep later.

Allied bombers target Japanese troops all along the Indian/Burma border. Not significant.

30 B-17s hit Buin's airfield from Port Moresby, doing moderate damage. No fighters there now, and no ships for them to protect.

The interesting development today was at Taberfane. KB appeared on the east coast of New Guinea, but within range of Taberfane. In the afternoon, a strike hit Taberfane. I figured that the ships there were doomed.

Surprisingly, to me anyway, the enemy planes went for the airfield. Some damage was done to the base, but the enemy did pay a price, going up against very good pilots. I breathed a sigh of relief that the ships there were not targeted.

And then they were targeted.

Non Combat: 14 destroyed, 1 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled

Vehicles lost 16 (15 destroyed, 1 disabled)

CAP was overwhelmed with this strike. The US pilots still did well against the Zeros. Ships were lost. Part of a Marine defense unit was lost. One damaged xAK sank after combat. Another is gravely damaged and burning and disbanded into the port. It will probably burn up today. Most of the cargo lost was supply. Unloading was just too slow at the small port.

Total air losses for the day were 20 A6M3 Zeros, 7 Vals, 5 Kates and 2 Judys, for the cost of 8 P-40Es and 1 P-40K. The Warhawks did rather well considering they were up against KB squadrons. About half of each squadron is now out of action. A fresh P-39 squadron, with elite pilots, is moved to Taberfane.

It's always fun to sink ships with your carriers, but this attack doesn't change the situation. And with the upcoming fireworks coming to Burma, I don't mind seeing KB on the eastern side of New Guinea. I expect KB to now move south to harass the new Allied bases south and southeast of Rabaul.

Tagula Island was captured. Enemy troops will evaporate quickly there with no supply. Tagula, Rossel, Munda and Vangunu are now all in Allied hands. Followup support troops need to be moved in. This will be attempted at Tagula today. An attempt to do so at Vangunu, on a much bigger scale, should happen the next day.

28 Dec 42

APDs finished dropping off a small combat unit at Deboyne Island, which flipped today. On the way south, the APDs hit RO-61 with a depth charge.

31 B-17s hit Buna's port and barely scratched it in heavy rain.

Cleanup attacks continued at Vangunu and Tagula. The enemy was wiped out by attrition at Tagula after today's combat.

Doing a big push of followup support units to Vangunu today, covered by LRCAP. A cruiser force and PT boats will protect.

The armada of ships from Australia to Ceylon are now 31 hexes south of Colombo, moving 6 hexes a day. Ships are also on the move from Capetown, and will get to Colombo a few days after the Australian armada. The last big xAP task force, carrying troops, will leave Bombay today for Colombo.

KB did not stick around to hit Taberfane again. I guessed that it would not, and did not withdraw my shipping there, which continued to unload supply.

29 Dec 42

I-34 fired 2 torpedoes at destroyer Reid southeast of Rennell Island, and missed. The sub spotted 2 AKEs, an AGP and an AG headed to Rennell. I would have rather had them not seen.

21 Sallys from Koepang attacked Darwin's airfield at night. Almost no damage was done in thunderstorms. I respond in kind with a 40 bomber B-17 night raid of Rabaul's port tonight.

12 B-17s hit Myitkyina's airfield and found 42 Oscars defending. 2 Oscars were shot down with no loss to the Fortresses. Minor damage to Myitkyina. Myitkyina's airbase is badly damaged, but apparently not enough to keep planes from flying. Must have been some damaged Oscars on landing. I'd strike again but the weather forecast is poor.

US units attack again at Vangunu, and cause 266 casualties to the out of supply I/19th Naval Guard Unit. The enemy is then wiped out by attrition, clearing the island. Lots of support units are in the process of landing at Vangunu, and they are visible in the combat report. With so many tranports there now, and big combat task forces seen at Rabaul, I decide to stop unloading and pull back to Tassafronga. They'll go back to Vangunu. Maybe tomorrow, maybe after. No rush, and I don't want to throw away the shipping, but I do want to keep OPilot's attention here.

30 Dec 42

Gato fired 4 torpedoes at xAP Shanghai Maru, northeast of Pagan in the Mariannas. One torpedo hit but it was a dud. One more day of terrible torpedoes. Then we have just bad torpedoes until September '43.

We had an amusing display of night attacks between Port Moresby and Rabaul. About 40 B-17s flew in fragmented missions to Rabaul, but neither the port or anything in the port was hit in thunderstorms. Coming the other direction was about 20 Bettys. 3 B-17s were damaged on the ground, with the Bettys bombing in severe storms.

Minimal enemy bombing in China.

The US CVEs got to Luganville, as did the nice APs. They'll sit there until there's a clear opportunity to reinvade Kusaie Island, or go all the way to Kwajalein. Ponape is a possibility too. I anticipate this opportunity to be when KB goes running to the Indian Ocean when the Burma op kicks off.

The Allied armada traveling from Australia to Ceylon is now almost due west of Sabang.

Ships with followup units for Munda and Vangunu fell back to Tassafronga yesterday. No enemy activity was detected in the Solomons, so they'll go back to Vangunu for another day of unloading. LRCAP will be provided from Guadalcanal and Tulagi.

31 Dec 42

Sub Runner fired 2 torpedoes at xAK Tarayasu Maru east of Formosa. One hit but was a dud. The final statistics for the worst of the dud torpedo era are 82 duds out of 104 hits, which is 78.8% dud rate.

Here's a summary of ships hit with dud torpedoes so far. I believe that two duds hit Junyo and one hit Haruna. A couple of already damaged heavy cruisers in the Solomons were hit by multiple duds as they fled northwest. Other ships hit were two CLs, a DD, 2 CMs, an AKE, 3 AOs, 3 SS, 5 xAPs, 2 AVs, an AMC, a TK, an ACM, a DMS, 13 xAKs, 5 xAKLs, 24 PBs, 2 YOs, and 5 SCs. Some were hit by more than one dud. All of this is affected by fog of war, of course.

Little activity today. Unloading at Vangunu was not interrupted. A big troop convoy arrived at Darwin and started to unload. A Fletcher class destroyer task force is guarding.

The two P-40 squadrons in China moved south to Hengyang, and will LRCAP a rough hex where a Chinese corp has been hit by unescorted Sonias frequently, including the past 2 days.

Still counting down for the fireworks coming to Burma.

Very interesting to see the list of potential victims that were spared by the dud torps - thanks for keeping track of all that. If any new players want to know how frustrating that first 55 weeks is, we should point them here!

1 Jan 43

25 A6M3a Zeros swept Vangunu in the morning. No CAP, and just PT boats and a small xAKL task force there. 22 Bettys with 32 A6M2 Zeros then went after the PT boats, and all torpedoes missed. In the afternoon, however, the bombers returned, and targeted the 4 small cargo ships there unloading supply. xAKL Minnipa and xAKL Sinabang were hit and sunk by torpedoes. Then 26 more Bettys with 30 Zeros arrived, and got a bomb hit on xAKL Kooyong. The two remaining cargo ships, one burning, will try to get back to Tulagi.

There's a sub 4 hexes southwest of Colombo now. The Allied armada is now 2 days south of Colombo. Today they will move to a point 6 hexes south of Colombo. It would be best if they aren't spotted. The detection levels of Colombo have gone up recently, getting to a 2/2 level 2 days ago, due to the many ships in port.

Recon showed that the Imperial Guard Division is at Akyab. The division was badly hurt in fighting around Cox's Bazar, and retreated to Akyab. I had thought that it had been pulled out and sent south to Singapore to recover. Maybe it hadn't. Maybe it has come back. Either way, that's another division to be bagged in the near future. Hopefully.

P-38s will sweep Magwe today. Various Allied units on the Burma/India front will show movement south into the enemy line. Just trying to draw more attention. Bombers will hit the areas too.

I can't remember when the Allies get them, but I found barges are great for moving stuff around in The Slot. Have you tried them yet?

I've used barges in the Solomons as the Japanese, but I don't think I've used them anywhere as the Allies. I'll look into that.

Dud rate for US Fleet subs is suppose to be about 80% on hits, so you did a slightly better than average, believe it or not.I usually keep track when I am the Allies and have had results in line with yours. The S-boats do much better as they only had one major flaw in their torpedoes and it was corrected much sooner than the 3 major flaws in the Mk-14 torpedoes.

2 Jan 43

Near Namlea, north of Ambon, Seawolf fired 4 torpedoes at xAP Naminoue Maru. Two torpedoes hit and neither was a dud. There are men loaded on the ship. Seawolf immediately reattacked the transport, firing 4 more torpedoes and getting 2 more hits. One was a dud. Sinking audio was heard immediately after the combat. It was nice to get some good hits right after the torpedo dud improvement date.

24 P-38Fs swept Magwe and found 42 Ki-43-IIa Oscars on CAP. It was a tough fight, and no cake walk this time for the Lightnings. The enemy pilots were very good. 8 Lightnings went down and took 9 Oscars with them.

Heavy enemy bombing of the Chinese troops just south of Sian, as in most days. B-17s bombed Myitkyina and some light bombers hit enemy troops north of Myitkyina. Just showing activity.

The armada from Australia will get to Colombo today. 2 huge transport convoys from Capetown will move onto the map today, then move to Colombo. Loading for the big operation will start when these ships get to Ceylon. British carrier Illustrious is due to withdraw in 2 days. I'm still undecided whether to withdraw her immediately. If I use her, it will be to CAP Port Blair after the first day of landing, allowing the other CVs and invasion ships to continue to move to their targets. I'd have to pay about 3 weeks of political points for her to remain on the map. I'll decide with the next turn.

You don't get a lot of P-38s E, F or G and the service rate is low so it will be awhile before that Squadron will be up for another sweep.

Here's the number of ships by type that will be used for the upcoming Burma operation:

6 CVs(counting Illustrious, if I use her)
7 BBs
1 BC
14 CAs
5 CLs
4 CLAAs
38 DDs
297 xAPs,xAKs,AKs,xAKLs,APDs

It's going to be big. I'm going to force in as much supply as I possibly can, as fast as possible. Troop unloading won't be fast using xAPs, but I'm going to overwhelm the defenses with number of units, particularly at Rangoon.

After all the shipping gets to Ceylon, I'll list out the order of battle for what ground units will go where.

Back in October '42, I previewed my thinking for a Burma operation. Most of what you see there still applies. The invasion forces have grown larger though.

Some enemy bombing in China, nothing unusual.

Allied carriers and shipping arrive at Ceylon. Some transport shipping will move to Trincomlee. Both Trincomlee and Colombo will be ports of embarkation for the invasions. All ships at Colombo will do some minor damage repair. A few ships enter the shipyard for some quick repairs. Shipping from Capetown entered the map, and will need about 5 days to get to Colombo. They'll unload, then the invasion loading will begin.

I've decided to keep Illustrious on the map and pay the political points to do so. It has dropped off its torpedo bombers and will load only fighters.

As far as I know, none of the task forces were spotted going to Ceylon.

221 Group RAF

Followup for Rangoon:
341 Base Group
24 CB
US 43rd Infantry Division
2/13 Fld RAA Rgt

Fully Prepped for Pegu:
5 Chinese Corp
167 Base Force
2 Burma Bat

Followup for Pegu:
35 Port Maint
21 CB

Followup landing at Pegu, troops prepped for Chiang Mai:
US 32 Infantry Division

Kowloon Brig (Remember Hong Kong?)
134 Field Artillery
170 RAF Base Force

Followup landing at Pegu, troops prepped for Toungoo:
16 Aust Brig
XV Indian Corp
177 RAF Base Force

Air Drop at Chiang Mai, from Chittagong (timing TBD):
77 LRP

Air Drop at Toungoo, from Chittagong (timing TBD):
111 LRP

Fully Prepped for Moulmein:

4 Jan 43

The enemy cruiser force north of Darwin went to Taberfane. They ran into 3 PT boats there. One PT boat was sunk. A torpedo was fired at an enemy destroyer but it missed. The enemy ships then bombarded Taberfane, to decent effect.

The base is still operational. I'd moved shipping away just in time.

There's an enemy sub watching the southeastern corner of Australia. I-15 sank AM Pirie just south of the coastal route between Sydney and Melbourne. The positioning implies that the enemy is looking for ships, not targeting them, at least today. The sub is about 3 weeks late to see the armada that went past here on the way to Ceylon.

OPilot did everything he could to take this hex. Months of aircraft bombing. Months of artillery bombardments. The Chinese are out of supply. This is a catastrophic loss for him. The only explanation I can come up with is the massive overstacking in the hex.

Illustrious was at Colombo. I resized the fighter unit on it, and left the ship in a task force. For the first time in months, an enemy sub spotted ships at Colombo, spotting Illustrious with 4/4 DL. Not much else was spotted. Surprise will be lost if OPilot does recon of Colombo's port.
