The US has 43 MM available so 3 oil and 20 production points (PP) are sent to New Zealand. And 20 PP is sent to Australia. This will be increased as soon as possible. 12 escorts are assigned to the South Pacific convoys for maximum air protection.

The US has 269 stockpile so 2 MM and 2 ground supply groups were requested. Production is 369 so with 40 PP going to allies, 208 is set to reinforcements. This should add about 120 PP to my stockpile.

Based on the lessons learned at Pearl, the US doctrine will mirror that of the Japanese. Naval air will rule the seas and dictate logistics. All possible Scientific research is now focused on improving Naval Air Training and Carrier Operations. The US plans to get on the offensive as soon as possible which will include Amphibious Operations and Assault. Heavy focus in this area too. For support, longer range fighters are being researched to protect land-based dive bombers and torpedo planes.

The plan is to strangle Japan by cutting off its supply of oil. The current doctrine of Long-Range subs helps with this objective as they gain a large surface bonus through tech advancements. This should increase Japanese MM losses. However it could be a mistake stopping the warship research as this may have a negative effect in 1943-44.

The Imperial 12th army pushes the Philippine division out of Manila. Cut off with little supply the American division and Luzon armies will soon surrender.

While dug in, the Indian 3rd Corp is close to full strength, but supply is low. There is no escape as the noose tightens.

Recruits are arriving in the Harbin sector. I switched the unit statistics in Options to make it easier for me to count total strength for the area. It must not drop below 160. There is a 20 strength Army unit on the northern boarder with the USSR that is not showing in the picture.

Switching unit statistics back to Attack/Defense. The Japanese South China army group advances slowly towards the Changsha rail line. Bad weather is hampering progress.

Oil is still a concern. Upkeep is twice as much as what is imported. However, stockpiles will last for another month and a half at this pace. Cutting upkeep until oil production can be improved is necessary. This will be hard to do with a concerted push towards Fiji. The reinforcement rate has been decreased to grow stockpiles. Builds are 20 landing ships this turn.

Luzon forces surrender in mass. The US Philippine division holds on in the jungle south of Manila, soon to be unsupplied. The USAFFE tactical group is stranded outside of Davao unsupplied with nowhere to fly.

3rd Corps is low on supplies. They may hold out for a month but unlikely.

Regrouping after last week’s attack Indian forces push back to the Salween River at the Thailand border. A weak line is set up with reinforcements on the way.

No sign of the main Japanese carrier force. The submarine Swordfish patrols off Truk monitoring ship movement.

A large effort begins to crack the Japanese code. It will be weeks before progress can be expected. Sending a sub and DD groups from San Diego to Australia for convoy protection and attack. They should arrive next turn.

Poor weather conditions continue to buy China time to dig in around Changsha. Japanese forces are slowly moving forward but avoiding battle in this weather.

The US builds 10 supply trucks. Increased reinforcements to 298. Naval repairs are almost complete in Pearl Harbor. Production and Oil continue to be shipped to Australia and New Zealand.

UK, India and China increase their reinforcement rate while building nothing.

The 15th Army crosses the Salween River with its right flank protected by the 1st Imperial division. They are within 100 miles of the Burma Road.

Jayapura and Wewak are occupied, further solidifying Japan’s holdings north of the Owen Stanley Mountain range. Japanese landing craft are in short supply so advancement in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands may come to a halt.

A slight improvement in weather conditions but still not conducive to offensive operations. Upkeep for the Southern China Army is growing which has failed to generate results. Better weather conditions will either yield an offensive or the syphoning of troops for other operations.

I need to handle this area better.

The opening offensive is grinding to a halt. Mass amounts of territory have been captured and garrisons must be put in place. An additional 10 Landing ships are ordered to prepare for a May offensive in the Solomons.

Reinforcements are reduced and will be more selectively distributed. Oil production and transport to the mainland has increased noticeably. DEI is not 100% online but will be in a couple of weeks. More troops are needed for garrison duty so forces may be pulled from mainland China.

A defensive line is set up fifty miles from the Burma rail line. It will take time to dig in. India Command moves forward to shorten supply and communication lines to Rangoon.

The US tactical air group in Davao evaporated due to a lack of supply. Japan is now firmly in control of the oil producing regions of the DEI and Borneo.

The Swordfish located the Kido Butai with all six carriers still in the fleet but was caught by screening vessels before commencing an attack. It escaped with damage and valuable information on the location of the Japanese main fleet.

Japanese subs attacked the South Pacific convoy lanes sinking a MM and an escort. I should have used destroyers to help protect my convoy lanes as I can ill afford to lose MM with my low inventory. I will send DDs on patrol immediately even though all three raiding subs sustained damage and may retreat for supplies and repairs. The subs can resupply in the Marshalls however Truk has the closest repair facilities. This is why Fiji is so vital to securing the South Pacific convoy route.

I believe there were three attacks made by the same submarine fleet – one against each convoy. (Canada to UK, and US to Australia and to New Zealand). However, I don't know for sure how this combat works. I stack my subs to spread out the hits and this may cause the “three-attack” scenario.

The Mississippi BB Div will arrive in San Diego in two weeks. I will build a CV task force and steam to Australia next turn. I am worried about Fiji.

US Production is allocated heavily to reinforcements as they cost less than creating new units. Plus, naval units are still being repaired after the Pearl Harbor raid.

Convoy allocation had to be adjusted due to the loss in MM. I am sending the max possible production with a little oil to Australia and New Zealand. I want to build their aircraft to full strength and have some oil reserve for defensive use.

Bougainville has been invaded and Buin has fallen. Manus and New Ireland will be targeted next month. A reinforced Guadalcanal with supplied Naval Air is the objective.

The Kido Butai has steamed to the Coral Sea to provide protection to the small landings.

General Yamashita has taken over the Japanese forces in Burma and has created the 26 Army group. Immediate attacks on the Burma line create a breakthrough which is exploited the 124th infantry force. The Burma Road is cut. The 26th Army is due to rail into the area next month. The Indian National Army created in Thailand has already crossed the Salween River. Additional air support is needed. The objective is to cross the Irrawaddy River and cut supplies to China and oil to India.

The Changsha front is static however three armies are closing in around the city and the 16th army crossed the Yong River to flank the rail line defense. The objective is to capture Changsha and open the rail line to Hong Kong.

The reinforcement rate has been increased to fill out more units. Ten Landing Ships (1 group) and Sixty supply trucks (3 groups) are requested. COMINT is improving but no gains have been made with enhancing he Japanese code.
