Most of his trained Zeke pilots will be used to refill KB's coffers so a hit and fade attack if I can pull it off especially if I time it so that B24's from Darwin hit the AF's in range at the same time has to be a possibility.

4 CV's and 4 CVL's in a hit and fade attack is certainly a possibility.

c 200 F6F's supported by P38's from my small AF's in the banda Sea and 4E Bombers out of Darwin could do a lot of damage.

Status: offline 		Avoiding naval disasters is high on my list as well asdicus and my priority for the next month is Rabaul/ Lae and Maloep (then Wotje) If I secure those I would be very tempted to attempt the Kendari Operation as I said earlier primarily to keep him guessing am I actually going to drive on Singapore or will I go straight at PI I am intending a slow cautious island hopping campaign but I want him to think im going to be mor aggressive than that to force him to cover rear areas.

I am afraid in this moment his fighterarm is as ready as it could be. You might realize a reduction of Zeros training in China, but that would be it.

You knocked at his carriers and sunk some of his lighter ships. He still has about 10 fleet carriers and that is a strong force. You do not need to hurry so much. Repair your ships, refill your squadrons and then support your invasions in Rabaul an Kavieng. This way you might get some more warships of him.
Eat his fleet slowly and chew it well. He might hit back in a very short time.

2.69 to 1 on VP's now so I am ok on AV :)

Frank dont worry Im not going to play this any more aggressively than I have to.

I am going to have to refill my CV Fighter Sqns 1st and it looks like his fleet is at Balikapan not Kendari so its a step to far I think.

Quiet turn as I stood down most of my bombers to rest them after the last few days.

I actually got very lucky that I picked on the Escort Carrier Group I am sure the defences /DC and armour of the main fleet CV's is better than the slightly fragile CVE's also they slow him down so his tactical speed will increase if he decided to stop using thes CVE's with KB.

Apart from that it was mostly a reorg type turn

5 BB's on the west coast repairing I could really use a few of them pronto

I will do a review of my Battleine units and there condition in a few days

Beaufighters are actually really good at anti barge/AK strikes they do a lot of damage at low level.

And they have the all important range

He is getting cocky at Pearl with that Sub.

Maloep invasion force inches forward

Alabama will join up soon to give 2 BB's and 3 CV's in cover/bombardment force

I am considering ignoring Wotje and going straight at Kwal after this.

5 Amphib Corps got ashore with the help of the Alabama and Colorado

I have only sent 1 Div and 2 Eng regts so I may be light in the 1st wave as he has 9 forts.

Ill bring in more or some paras if I need to but actually what would be really nice is for PZB to bring in reinforcement s as he did at Kavieng.

Sucking his rapid reaction force out of Kwal would be nice !!!!

I have about 4 Divs prepping for Kwal so I can spare one more to Malo if required

Kai island was siezed by Para drop.

Ops in this area are to be carried out on a shoe string so we will see how things go.

Status: offline 		I am sending Halsey and Spruance into the seas around Kai Island and will perhaps try for Balikapan or Kendari depending on reaction.

In the last 10 days I have shot down 1000 aircraft he cannot have that many left available not when you discount the required forces in SOPAC and CENTPAC and training in China

SOPAC is going to be quiet until Rabaul and Lae are taken

CENTPAC will be my main thrust for the next few months.

Raid on Kendari ordered.

Captured Finchafen relatively easily after demining the port ill order a leap forward on Siador.

Status: offline 		Weird turn Spruance failed to obey orders and stay with Halsey so my CV TF's ended up 300 miles apart.

Halsey decided to raid the empty harbour at Lautern.

All in all not a good turn I am calling off the op as kendari Harbour is empty anyway.

Maloep has also faced a setback in night action I lost the Fiji class CL Mauritias (one of my better ones) in return for 1 IJN CL and about 4 DD's.

Of more worry is the fact that some of 40th Div was on AK's for the assault has meant that for each of the three days the full Div has Shock attacked wrecking itself.

A lesson for me there assault echelon MUST be loaded on LST/ LCT's the Div will need to sit for a week before I can start reducing the forts.

I would rather learn this lesson now on Maloep than when I assault Kwal

I want to assault load 5 + Divs in one assault before the Marianas or PI depending on which way I go.

Alabama Gp bombards Maloep PZB returns the favour at kai Island.

2 very interesting combats.

Kavineg is not in any danger. 3rd USMC Div is now at 95/100 so its recovered in situ he has no chance of knocking me out and he wont be able to evac all those troops easily.

I am not going to try and take the island he has committed 50,000 elite reinforcements let them rot there ;)

At Rabaul the forts come down again although disruption is high now level 7 with the air bombardment set to continue.

It will take time but Rabaul will fall well before my Christmas deadline I hope !!!!

Preparation for the invasion of Kwal continues.

I want sealift for 4 Divs plus a para regt on day 1 target date will be about 20th Novemeber after I get more LST's

Status: offline 		Frank I am finally in a position to take yours and the others advice who recommended hitting Truk !!!

It will take about 4 days to prep and gather the sqns at my forward bases

Operation DRAGON will involve at least 4 Sqns of P38J's who can just make the escort journey to Truk from Sag Sag and Green Island.

I am then going to use every B24J/D and 17 I can muster.

I want at least 200+ bombers going in and I am going to attempt to flatten the place.

Andy
