That is some sound advice that I had never thought of! I will use that escort option with everyone follow if something like this happens again. Figured that I had about a 60-40 chance to save Kaga before the auto-separation occurred. Oh, well...

Got to ask about your picture. Are you an aquarium person? I am hugely into fish--have 2 Reef Tanks, 3 African Cihclid Tanks and 2 'happy' fish tanks!

Tank? You have fish in a tank?

Or is this another word for aquarium?

Go to get my dictionary. Ahh, I hate English being my second language (I�m still better than in Italian though).

MSW at Kodiak
Had three different ASW TF attack American SS along the Dutch Harbor-Kodiak-Anchorage corridor. No success but it is promising...

Akyab hit twice by a total of 11 Bombers--6 Cas and AF hit
Myitkyina 9F 12B 12 Cas and AF

Alaska
Anchorage 38Z 64B Lose 2B, 22 Cas, Port hit
117,28 21B 76 Cas and 2 Guns

French Frigate Shoal 57 B-25 157 Cas

China (45,35) 24F 157B 182 Cas and 4G

Aust (36,91) 141B 144 Cas

Land
Deliberate Attack: Anchorage! 0-1 Forts 7 down to 6

Japan 83,884 729G 6V Losses 2,579 52G 4V
US/Can 67,628 692G 42V Losses 1,211 26G 1V

Haven't got the 1-1 yet but it sure looks promising. Based on the disruption scores, it appears that I will hit Anchorage about every 4th day. Cannot bombard because of supply concerns. Have had AKs unloading there everyday but need all those supplies for the attacks.

Start loading 2 Inf Brigades at Manila to finish off the Philippine resistance at Iloile.

New Chinese Brigade that I shifted to 4th Fleet Command is done loading at Shanghai. Destrination: Anchorage

Sea
KB is a day from Dutch Harbor. All fires and a little flooding taken care of on Hiryu and Soryu. Their SYS Damage is Hiryu 34 and Soryu 16. Will refuel and reorganize and send them home for repairs.

Akagi, Junyo, Hiyo, Hosho, Ryujo will refuel and head back out raiding. I would be willing to bet that Wolfpack tries to send something northwards since he knows I retreated with the CVs. See if I can catch him...

SS
Nothing

Air
Burma
Akyab 8B cause 11 Cas and hit AF
Myitykina 13F 13B 5 Cas and AF

I have pulled back my fighters to Rangoon for over a week, decide to take a swing at Wolfpack and move two full Daitai--1 Oscar (36P) and 1 Zero (A3--27P)--for an ambush. We'll see if they score!

Alaska
Anchorage 41Z 73B Lose 1 plane, 22 Cas, 1 Vehicle, Port
Anchorage Put up some LR CAP there and it works! 17 A2 vs. 6 P-36 Shoot down 3 of them!
117,28 20B 50 Cas and 4 Guns

French Frigate Shoal 69 B-25 83 Cas and 2G

AVG in China! 12 P-40s of the AVG make an appearance over the Chinese troops at 45,35 and my planes do OK. I have three waves come in:
1st 9F 65B vs. 12 P-40 Lose 1F/1B, shot down 1 P-40, 48 Cas, 1 Gun
2nd 3F 35B vs. 12 P-40 Lose 1F/2B, shot down 1 P-40, 62 Cas, 2 Guns
3rd 12F 73B vs. 11 P-40 NO LOSSES, shot down 3 P-40, 49 Cas, 2 Guns

Considering these were AVG pilots, I did GREAT! Lose 5 planes for killing 5 planes...I had my CAP set on 70% at Wuhan. If he plans to fly LR CAP over those troops again, he will get a surprise! Lower CAP to 10% All these Oscars have experience in the low-70s to 80s! If it doesn't go REALLY well, then I will send sone Zeros up here...

Australia (36,91) 118B 91 Cas

Land
Shock Attack: 11,94 450-1 5 Cas and 1G
I have now moved beyond the crossroads going to Perth. One Inf Brigade will advance 2 hexes towards Perth and the other will do the same heading towards Adelaide. This move should blind Wolfpack.

My lodgement between Juneau and Anchorage looks to be VERY solid. I have plenty of supplies there. Move out 1 Inf Brig, 1 SNLF, and 1 Art Regiment to join the 2 SNLF at 117,28. These should be enough to knock his Canadian Brigade back towards Anchorage.

Sea
Bombardment: Anchorage 2CA, 2CL, 8DD 225 Cas, 4 Guns, 1 Vehicle, AF/Pt

Have a BB Bombardment scheduled for tomorrow. See what that accomplishes...

I had a busy weekend so Wolfpack and I only got 1 turn for the three days.

June 15, 1942

SS
MSW Palembang
East of Pearl Harbor--ASW Attack on I-17--Takes 11 DC and sinks. Does spot a large convoy going east.
SS Flying Fish attacks an AK--on the surface--hits it a couple of times and takes 2 hits from the AK

Air
Recon Perth with Emily's for the 1st time.

Akyab, Burma--2 small raids of 17 Bombers--They lose 1 plane and damage AF.

French Frigate Shoal 45 B-25 do 45 Cas

China (45,35) 31F 160B 82 Cas and 5 Guns--NO AVG! Hoped to shoot some of them down...

Australia (36,91) 112B 57 Cas

Move 3 Daitai of Zeros to Johnson Island. It is now completely repaired...these Daitai have XP in the 70s and will cost any major attack that arrives...

Move a 3rd Daitai of Zeros to Myitkyina, Burma and have 2 Daitai of Zeros as well as 2 Daitai of Oscars at Rangoon. Should chill Wolfpack down some...

Ground
Landing at Iloile, PHIL 49 Coastal Defense shots--no damage and take 750 Cas with the landing.

Navy
A strike of 6 B-25 from Juneau cream an AK with 6B at 117,31--it sinks

Send out KB2 from Dutch Harbor--Akagi, Junyo, Hiyo sortie--to go after that convoy spotted by the late I-17. Three days of Full Speed should get my TF there and hit them. Should end up right between Hawaii and West Coast.

Send Hiryu & Soryu back to Japan for repairs.

After getting just one turn in over the weekend, Wolfpack and I made up for it yesterday by getting four done! I was home sick from school and he took the day off.

June 16, 1942

SS
No development

Air
Burma
Akyab 9B cause 7 Cas, 1 Gun, and hit Air Field
Myitkyina 22Z/17 Oscars vs. 111 Birt Bombers and 42 B-17

I had hoped to catch his small raids and NOT these damned bombers! I lose 8 Z/7 Oscar for 17 Brit Bombers, 2 B-17, and 39 more damaged. Most of the fighters lost were on the ground--only 1-2 pilots lost.

Aust (13,94) 25B Hit an Australian Cavalry Brigade (new Unit) for 21 Cas and 2 G

Johnson Island 98 B-17 vs. 27Z (I have 72 there but only 27 flew!

) Lose 6 Z for 4 B-17, 17 Damaged, 36 Cas, and AF hit.

Land
Landing at Iloilo, Phil

Sea
Bombard Anchorage: 2BB, 1CA, 1CL---151 Cas & 10 G

2AK are hit from Juneau B-25s. Lose 1AP to earlier damage at Kodiak.

Akagi, Junyo, Hiyo, and Ryujo (202 Planes) are headed at High Speed SE to try and catch that convoy spotted by one of my SS from yesterday.

I have three groups approaching Noumea:
1. Zuikaku, Ryuho, and Yamato are about 6 days away.
2. 3 CVE are headed there as well (7-10 days away)
3. Little Hosho is headed south from Dutch Harbor to help as well.

Want to try and begin to isloate New Zealand some...

Beginning to move a number of SS out of the IO towards Noumea as well.

June 17, 1942

SS
MSW at Kodiak
DD Monssen hits a SS-Laid mine (of MINE!) at Prince Rupert Sound.

Air
Burma
--Akyab 2 Small raids totally 20 Bombers cause 27 Cas and damage AF
--Myitkyina 8 Z/3 Oscar vs. 97 Brit Bombers and 34 B-17--Same song 2nd verse--Lose 6 Z/4 Oscar for 5 Bombers, 17 Damaged, 31 Cas, and AF--WILL PULL THEM OUT AGAIN!

Hawaii

Aust (12,94) 6B 15 Cas and 1 G---15B 67 Cas

Ground
Capture Iliolo, PHIL! 17-1 198 Jap for 4,503 Phil POWs! Start these two brigades prepping for Cebu!

SHOCK ATTACK: Changsha! Make BIG mistake...got impatient and tried to knock the Forts down faster...REALLY paid for it...Fort 6 0-1---Casualties:
Jpn--6,120 and 195G
US---536, 25G, and 1V

Australia (12,94) Bombardment: 15 Aust Cas--He has brought up an Australian Inf Div and Cav Regiment. Need to be careful and not get knocked out here...

Sea
Nothing of major note.

The Anchorage Attack serves to cause me some changes. Need more Artillery and rotate some units:

1. Order 6 AP from Dutch Harbor to go to Kodiak and pick up the three SNLF that are there to put some fresh troops in Anchorage.
2. That Chinese Brigade I got out earlier is now passing Sapporo and should be at Anchorage in about 14 days.
3. CONCENTRATION: Move the second life of troops from the Philippines (were going to Perth) and direct them (60,000+ troops) to Anchorage. They won't get there for nearly a month.

Once all three groups are there, I should have enough force to finish the job. Will keep up the Naval/Air Bombardment.

Sea
Anchorage Bombardment: 2CA, 2CL--Destroy 1PBY, inflict 1,027 Cas, 16 Guns, 9V, and AF hit. Nice Bombardment!

June 28, 1942

SS
MSW at Anchorage and Vancouver

Air
Alaska
--Bad weather over area
--Anchorage 13Z 62B---Lose 1 Bomber, 127 Casualties, 5 Guns, AF
--6 Betty attack shipping at Prince Rupert Sound--no fighters--hit 1AK with 1 Bomb

China (45,35) 35F 116B--205 Cas, 4 Guns

Mandalay 129 Brit Bombers and 26 B-17 do 438 Cas, 8 Guns, and AF

Aust (36,92) 113 Bombers--187 Cas and 3 Guns

Land
Japanese Bombardments:
--(119,29) 38 Cas and 2 Guns
--Anchorage 204 Cas, 2 Guns, and 1 Vehicle

No attack on my lodgement east of Anchorage--THIS is a good thing!

Sea
Anchorage Bombardment--34 Cas and 2 Guns--TF (1CA, 1CL, 3DD)

French Frigate Shoal Bombardment--90 Cas and 2 Guns--US TF (1CA, 3CL, 6DD)

CARRIER ATTACK!!! My CTF, as hoped, catches Wolfpack's bombardment group approaching Norfolk Island. OH FOR MORE PLANES! Spot 2CA, 5CL, and 4DD

--Three small strikes are launched by Shokaku, Ryuho, and 2 CVE--
Raid 1 14Z 22V 12K
Raid 2 24K
Raid 3 9K

The damage gets spread around! I hit CA Australia with 1B and put a single TT into CA Houston, CL Leander, CL Perth, CL Hobart, and 1TT Achilles. This should be enough to slow them down! Be nice to sink 3-5 cruisers tomorrow...

Move the CTF towards Brisbane 3 hexes. This should put my CVs 12 hexes from LBA. Should be far enough away to not get attacked but close enough to pick off stragglers and cripples. Discengage my two STF from the Cvs and move them two hexes closer in hopes of catching cripples!

Engineering:
Kohima AF 2

Haven�t heard anything from this AAR for a long time now. Followed this AAR and hope it isn�t dead!
