Status: offline 		A quick night raid on Rangoon delivers up ten or so destroyed jap a/c on the ground, not really worth the effort, but it is more of a nusance raid than anything else. But the raid did show that Luskan has a lot of bloody units parked there.....31 in all.....and that begs the question, does he still have designs on India? Or is he simply looking to hit Akyab?????
Either way I am now continuing with my plans to reinforce southern India and also Akyab. I now have all of my Hurricane Sqaudrons upgraded to Spitfires so one would think that Luskan would be mad to try it. But then again who really knows what lurks in the mind of a banana? I also lost USS Amberjack today. Her crew will be missed.

I hate it when night bombings provide recon intelligence. He shouldn't have seen those units . . .

If you see it different or have additional comments add your insights to Wiki: Political Points and Wiki: Spending Political Points

A quite turn with not one shot fired in the entire Pacfic.

I'm in debt to the tune of thousands of PPs in my game, and its only September 42. I've not spent one for months.

It's that miser, Winston, to blame, hoarding his toy ships.

Right now 50 small transport tfs are going to about 50 different airfields throughout the pacific.

Are they going all over, or do you group some together making bigger bases.
Im still trying to work out what is best, a handful of 200 plus capacity bases, or lots and lots of 30 a/c ones

Im so desperate for troops i watch each one grow slowly in japan like a mother hen over her chicks

Easier to do 20 medium bases.

Nah, I followed orders and sent them back. I'd rather loose PPs than give Luskan some extra "free" game points.

Didn't return any ships. They were mostly in the Pacific so I couldnt even if I wanted to.

Winston wanted a CV and two BBs back in 1942, that cleaned out my PPs in good order.

Shock at Tarawa - 8/7/2005 1:23:53 PM

Status: offline 		Well I got a move from the banana boy and it was not a turn that I enjoyed watching. I have been trying to sus out what was on the Tarawa group of Islands without alerting ratbrain what I was upto, not easy to do, because I didn't want to make a move and find the jap CV force sitting waiting for me. So instead having not seen or heard anything on the intel screen, and having had a couple of subs sitting one hex away and not seeing any ships move in or out, I decide to do some recon by fire and sent in the USMC Recon Battalion who promptly shock attacked some 700+ jap troops dug in. The losses where so heavy that I fear that the entire unit will be lost next turn. Well at least I now know what he has there.

Status: offline 		Air battles appeared this turn to spice things up.

Raver has put hundreds of aircraft in his last base in northern china (completely cut off from supply) not sure how this is possible to maintain, but it was a big airstrike. Seems China is no longer one big happy training ground for my pilots.

At Kendai Raver launched 130 P-38s with a few bombers in tow. My 20 odd fighters met them and I lost 22, Raver lost 10 in the air to air combat and another 6 on the way home, so 22 to 16. Kendari is harder to defend than all the other bases because there are no other great airfields in close proximity.

I sank a couple of allied subs. nothing too exciting. And murdered those yanks on Tarawa.

Status: offline 		22 Jap planes for 16 of my P-38s and I will point out that these guys were greenhorns. It is a good ratio that i can sustain but Luskan can't, and the ratio will only get better in my favour as time goes on. As I said, these guys were very green with exp of an average of 58 !

I realize that this is getting into the microsoopic details of the game, but does losing planes on the way home give Raver a better chance to rescue the pilots?
