Here is the situation in Burma as my troops reported it after much recon a few days ago (can't post anything too high security). Have censored a little bit. Red arrows represent Raver's possible avenues of attack (although after his kick ass strategy of avoiding a fight in China I wouldn't be surprised if he just sat behind the irrawaddy until 44 and then let rip when I wasn't expecting. depends how patient he is). Note the large number of tanks at Akyab - But 1024 tanks . . . there are 3 indian arm units that could be in there as well. I'm hoping this means that this turn my babses have found the enemy armoured spearhead (and now I can watch it like a hawk. Soon as Raver moves forward down the trail, I'm gonna hve my own troops out of Rangoon and onto that vital intersection to meet him. only wish I could fortify it. A big battle on open ground - hence all my tank units. Purple lines show you my possible advances, and you'll note Kongo, Haruna and Nagato doing some fishing at Akyab bay. Speaking of akyab, I just remembered. Was so annoyed at kongo and her sisters just sailing past last night without firing a shot, I sent them back in. I actually wanted to detonate the AVG on the ground (they were there a few turns ago) but Raver moved them when he realised how close I was to hitting them. The results weren't too bad though ;) AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/07/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 38 encounters mine field at Bataan (42,51) Japanese Ships MSW W.3 MSW W.4 MSW W.5 MSW W.6 AK Hokko Maru, Mine hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack at 32,55 Japanese Ships TK Juko Maru PC Sonan Maru #6 MSW Asahi Maru Allied Ships SS Snapper -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naval bombardment of Akyab, at 30,29 Japanese Ships DD Mutsuki DD Yugiri DD Sagiri DD Ariake DD Yugure DD Nenohi DD Shigure DD Natsushio DD Amatsukaze DD Hayashio CL Yubari CL Tatsuta CL Tenryu CL Oi CL Kiso CL Tama CL Natori CA Kumano CA Suzuya CA Chokai CA Atago CA Takao BB Nagato BB Haruna BB Kongo Allied ground losses: 1187 casualties reported Guns lost 29 Vehicles lost 12 Airbase hits 3 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 18 Port hits 9 Port supply hits 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack at 47,103 Japanese Ships SS I-160 Allied Ships AK Antares, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Lanchow , at 45,25 Allied aircraft I-16c x 2 SB-2c x 7 Allied aircraft losses SB-2c: 1 damaged Aircraft Attacking: 4 x SB-2c bombing at 6000 feet 3 x SB-2c bombing at 6000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Time Surface Combat, near Namlea at 38,73 Japanese Ships CA Myoko CA Haguro CL Nagara DD Yukikaze DD Tokitsukaze DD Michishio DD Shiratsuyu DD Harusame DD Yamakaze DD Umikaze DD Fubuki DD Hato Allied Ships PT PT-32, Shell hits 1, on fire, heavy damage PT PT-44, Shell hits 6, and is sunk PT PT-46, Shell hits 4, and is sunk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 32,62 Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 2667 troops, 16 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 1167 troops, 7 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 45 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 12 casualties reported Allied ground losses: 13 casualties reported Defeated Allied Units Retreating!
