I honestly expect this game to end at 44 latest , Hokkaido is open to invasion with KB constantly lurking on the western portion of the map



Lets take a look at Hokkaido and Kuriles...now forts could be built up, but the bases really aren't except for oil island.

The western tip of the Aleutians can hold quite a lot of troops...

Marcus should be mine...

In my first pbem, the Allies landed in the Kurile islands in late 1942? early 43? I kicked them off (think they only landed on two islands) inflicting good losses but the Americans still came back and landed on Hokkaido in very early 44...like early January...and could never really contest the invasion as America had naval control by then.

My general rule this early: Allies need to go into many islands at once and build them, so you have a mutually supporting multiple base defense and maintain naval supremacy until they are built up. Of course there are exceptions on stand alone islands etc.

Most of the Marines and Army are prepped for the Marianas and nothing is prepped for Hokkaido/Kuriles. And you can see the tip of the Aluets aren't built up yet.

Of course the problem is defending them once taken. That I don't think I could do at present. I could hold them for a few months, but eventually Japan would kick me off.

I believe I can take Marcus and hold it due to its isolated position.

Transports flying in another Indian Bde to Lashio to bulk up its defenses.

In a unpleasant development, most of Canada's excellent Flower class KVs are to be withdrawn in a scant 10 days.

My CVE is leaving Portland to form a replenishment force that will meet up with elements of the Death Star around Marcus Island.

PT boats are starting to patrol the Gilberts, the rest on duty tomorrow. AKE, AGP should make the base in the Gilberts tomorrow and rearm our bombardment ships.

Fast Battleships (2) will join and provide covering fire for the Baker invasion, scheduled for two days from now.

Marcus Island invasion starts loading in 2 days.

What are you bringing?

Two pages back:





Tank Battalion and 3rd Marines will do the heavy lifting!

Shore bombardments and air bombardments confirm the 21st Mixed Bde and 53rd Naval Guard unit at Tabby in the last few days...but there are 11 units there.

It is ironic, if there are tanks in this invasion, that the US Army troops upgraded to 1942 squads literally yesterday.

Meanwhile, given no ships to pursue, the SBDs in conjunction with 4 ASW task forces start hunting the Iboats...lots of hits, but we know that game, right?

Just hoping that Japan commits more here on the very edge of the map, almost as far, far away as you can get.

First attempt, and my picture is too large...2nd attempt, still too large...3rd attempt worked, but I mangled a bit of the graphics on the eastern edge...hopefully you can make do. That yellow squigly thru the warships wasn't supposed to happen either...oops.

Tabby could be a real pain to take...and fighting here slows down the pace of the American offensive...Japan has basically given it away and hopefully it won't take long to take...certainly it is almost neutralized right now with the only threats being float fighters.

Japan has 11 units on the island, but never even built a point of port.




Hey, look, he never pulled his troops out of Howland, 1 unit, 1640 men spotted...have to go back and find out what they were...all AV I am sure.

Lots of Hurricane and P40 sweeps of a base that held 50 enemy fighters (Tojo), amazingly all but one ftr squadron went in first and then the 2E bombers followed up. I am guessing it was primarily distance, as the 3E bombers had 3-4 more hexes to go.

I have health fighter pools, and the P40K is producing now, so I should use up my E's -- right?

No flak on the combat replay...I was hoping the enemy fighters were LR CAP Lashio or somewhere.

First sweep always takes it on the chin:

Diego Garcia falls today...but we did knock down another IJA Div pretty badly. Our CD guns kept firing until the end.

CD guns should arrive at Socotra tomorrow.

I think Liuchow is down to 50% of their starting Light Industry, in fact all the LI around is at least somewhat damaged...

Our large bombardment task force of Tabby didn't move, orders were good I guess they didn't like something, they did spend op points rearming though.

Started loading the Markus Invasion forces today.

Bombed the 4th Guards Division in Burma today...got to use my Airacobra. Will assign 5 squadrons tomorrow -- I only sent in one sqdrn today to assess the AA. No clue what the TOE of the 4th Guards is, but it isn't strong as the 2E bombers that hit them higher up faced no AA.

Morning Air attack on 24th Infantry Regiment, at 59,45 (Shwebo)

Looks like another 6 units heading into Lashio...moved the transports to start flying in one of the large Chinese Corps from Chittagong. They are air mobile and expendable and good on defense.

Status: offline 		I think most IJ units in 1942 have 7.7mm MGs which can be overflown at 3K feet - but not by a fighter on low ground attack at 1000 feet. But fighters are small and fast - hard to hit. And Airacobras are pretty robust against small bullets. You should have minimal losses.

I agree! I was worried they might have a bunch of 20mm rapidfires...I think the unit is a scenario 2 addition from Iron babes.

But the one that caught my eye, was the CL Leander which turns into a pretty solid point blank AA platform:

What's amazing to me is that they suffered only 7 combat squads destroyed! With so many disablements I would have hoped for more.

As a JFB, I don't have a lot of experience invading Atolls past the Japanese Amphibious bonus period. I think I have done it twice...and only after very long periods of bombardments.

I included one unit with only c50% prep to see the effect...must have been a good dice roll, or Marines are simply vastly superior to dogfaces....however the Marine commander was 9 points less aggressive if that did anything.
