Status: offline 		Thanks, don't know if you mean the destruction to the Japanese for which credit must go to my co-commander or the styles of this AAR.

I'm partially doing this as an alternative to the copy combat report style as I've particulalry liked the more narraive styles that are developing in one or two other AARs. It can give more of an 'imagined' flavour of what it may have been like. I do enjoy Wobbly vs herb, ens hanamato for example.

I'm also taking the opportunity to force myself to master greater levels of digital imaging by setting myself little challenges and then learning how to do them in Photoshop. That is the Yura under all that smoke and fire but it was docked in China in 1937 in the original picture. You will see that I have jumped from straightforward text to adding graphics, to puttign the 'letters' and 'reports' onto paper as I have discovered more of what to do.

I'm also impressed by the amazing knowledge of many of the writers of these AARs, so I'm just trying to keep up....

Cheers

Roger

Uhmm, I mean your style of the AAR. Of course your co-commander did very well.. How about some map screenshots etc to show your war progress if it is ok?

Cheers!
Patrick

Status: offline 		Well, at the moment screenshots of our progress are non existent its gritty defence on the menu at the moment.... and its notable that the Japs aren't posting any as they are, I guess, somewhat behind in their conquest of the world!

What you may find in the next few days is that Sebastian will resurface again and his next letter might be interesting.

At present reports indicate Brunei, Miri are lost, the malayan peninsula is cut and strong Jap forces are moving south. Forces are approaching Rangoon of 2 division strength. Northern Philippines are under attack and Clark is under daily pounding from the air.

However elsewhere things are a bit nasty for the Japs, a counterattack at Canton has messed up their Hong Kong assault and they still haven't taken it. As far as Rabaul goes they were unpleasantly surprised by the stiff resistance of the allies there. Central Pacific has seen significant losses (as shown in the AAR) to their TFs bound for some of the islands.

Maybe Scott will post soon, some of his stuff in the other AAR he does is really good.

Cheers

Roger

I loved the laid back aspect to life!

Cheers

BTW Flashman has references to more than one literary writer.... if you interpret the lieterary in a wide sense.

I have never made it to Aaarhus, a shame as I love Heaney's poem 'Tollund Man'

Status: offline 		Well now, the first day of a new year, and allied HQ have been pondering their maps to evaluate how well the Japanese onslaught is progressing. What follows is a series of maps from which all sensitive deployments have been taken.... walls have ears dontcha know?

The red marker shows the extent of the Japanese conquests to date, a red area circled is an area taken but not securely joined to the rest of their empire yet.....

Ok, careless lips sink ships.......
