To loose again
Hello I’m Runnersan and I will try to write AAR. I play as Allies against Deaniks.
Our HR’s
Max fighter altitude 20K in 41-42, 25K in 43, 35K onwards
1st turn: Japan – cannot attack the west coast, otherwise he is free to do as he wishes
1st turn: Allies - air and LCUs remain "as is" without any change done by Allied player. Cannot create new TFs or change TF composition;
No carrier-vs-carrier battles allowed for the first 3 turns
PP paid for transfer continental units across borders with one exception: Thai units can go to Burma, Indochina or Malaysia and any units may enter 3hex's inside said territory
No 4E bombers below 10k
Para units can attack just one target at the time – if the para unit split, it must be united in one base first before another attack.
Troops can be unloaded only in dots/bases (same for para)
Squadron resizing limit: 45 planes
50 planes/target only at night for the entire war
Only submarine designed FPs on Japanese subs
No intentional creation of fragments. fragments should not be used operationally and shall be reunited with parent as expeditiously as possible. NOTE: dividing a unit in 3 (A/ B/ C) is OK
No strategic bombing of china
PS: Please forgive me English it is poor but I will do my best:)

Losses are heavy and air cover for Australia is almost non existent. Australia Command decided to withdraw all possible units to safe harbours and ordered that whole Bomber Force should make almost suicide attack against enemy carriers. But all hope that there won’t be second attack and enemy will withdraw.
Presence of such strong carrier force in this zone, shows, that there is serious possibility that enemy will try quickly cut off US from Australia and invasion of Australian mainland is not so distant possibility.
Malayas
First combat contact was made by Force Z. BC Renown and BB Prince of Wales showed that they are force to be reckoned with.

Also naval invasion in Khota Baru, Mersing and Kuantan started. Allied air counter attacks were easy halted. According to Naval Intelligence Mersing invasion is protected by light carriers.
Borneo
Japan invaded Miri
USAFEE
Once again all started when Japanese planes showed above Manila and Clark Field.
Lot’s of planes and ships were damaged. Biggest problem is heavy damage of submarine fleet and repairs shipyards. General McArthur asked fleet to withdraw almost all ships from Manila, because there is no chance that damaged shipyards could repair them in safe conditions.
Air Force was put on Alert. B-17s squadrons with only 2 planes ready to fly (others were damaged or destroyed) moved south. First counterattack is being prepared.
