Well, here it is. The second day of the pacific war (except china of cours,e where I'm batonning the hatches to see what Raver throws - I haven't stolen any divisions from China for the invasinos yet).
So far I've got some nice footholds across the pacific - Kendari, Davao, legaspi, brunei and miri (although these two aren't footholds to anywhere they have lots of lovely oil) and of course, this turn I crushed the troops on wake mercilessly. Kinda glad Raver sent his CVs NORTH (yes, north, he didn't send them south, lets not be daft). Khota Bharu will fall pretty soon, and Vigan and Aparri are both mine (and I've got a few more units on the way in there).
However don't be expecting any lightning trans terrain attacks - I'm going to steal port after port after port with my invasion fleets, dumping down naval guards and engineer units to secure those ports while taking the divisions and big brigades back for that all important R+R for at least a week before they get redeployed somewhere else.
Lost more than a few betties and nells (more than the reports suggest) this turn, and unfortunately they didn't do very well. I'm afraid that Raver's undamaged transport fleets in and around the PI are going to have a turn or two to escape while my betties and nells get some replacements in.
Ryuko is in the PI area but she doesn't have the moxie to stop the fleeing transports to darwin or pearl.
Still wracking my brains over the whole malaya thing. Have lost 4 dds, and two cls to date (or will very shortly) because being close into singapore's guns and a/c is a really bad idea.
My general staff is chafing for me to take or at least bombard other key bases in the SRA, balikpapan, makassar, menado, palembang, surabaya etc. Last time I tried for a base on java early I got slapped badly. Really badly.
I figure that as long as I've got a few little cvs in the area, I should pack them together and make sure that no indian reinforcements make it to malaya (or more importantly, no aussies get out). DO I land troops at johore bharu? Or do I pile the power on in the north and squeeze the allies southward untli they crack? Slower, but safer I guess.
Enjoy.

RE: An Aussie Beta Affair - Luskan V Raver!!! - 
That is one heck of a lucky bannana ! I am now planning a "Churchill" defence "I'll fight 'em one the beaches etc etc". One of the good things that got a bit lost in all the hooplar of the Torp issue, was the stirling fight that the Marines put up at Wake Is.
I've always liked the Marines!
. Even though there have been a number of landings there has been no major LCU clashes as yet and Dug-out-Doug is scrambling to get his PA units in place to try and block any Jap advance down the Island. I sortied USN Peary and Pillsbury (both DDs) to make a night run upto Vigan, but the IJN night fighting tactics come into play and both ships went down under a hail of shells and only managed to land one shell on the IJN DD Asagumo. Next came a followup attack in the same hex with some PT boats out of Manila, but they too went down in a torrent of gunfire. Luskan rules the seas around the PI. Oh and LRB are next to usless against ships.........I wonder who the mental giant was who thought they would be????
