In Manilla, Japanese aircraft made an appearance for the first time today, bombing enemy positions. It didn't make much difference, but every little bit counts...

Status: offline 		Philippino troops at Cagayan offered up surprisingly heavy resistance today. Might have something to do with the fact that they've had more than a week to fortify and rest up, while my troops have marched across the length and breadth of Mindanao.

At Manilla, my planes came back for another go today, and this time they actually hit something! Nobody was more surprised than me.

Status: offline 		Actions on several fronts today. About 100 miles east of Luzon, Imperial ASW forces engaged US submarine S-3. Surprise, surprise, inconclusive results. But hey, at least he's not shooting.

On Mindanao, our artillery laid another barrage on enemy positions at Cagayan, whilst further east, more troops were landed at Butuan, to slam shut the door on any retreat. It won't be long now.

In Manilla, the 2nd Fighter Daitai has been instructed to stop showing off for a little while. During today's air raid on an American artillery position, two Sopwith Pups were shot down, and 4 others damaged. They'll take it easy for a few days. Additionally, our artillery caused another day's worth of heavy casualties to the enemy in Manilla.

Status: offline 		Imperial forces landed at Legaspi today, with similar purpose to the earlier landings at Butuan. In spite of an attempted intercept by a US submarine (which got a bundle of depth charges for its trouble), the landing went ahead with negligible casualties.

According to intelligence, an enemy transport struck one of our recently-laid mines at Midway. Keep it up, malodorous Westerners!

Status: offline 		The campaign on Mindanao has reached its end, with the fall of Butuan and the subsequent surrender of the Phillipino and US forces at Cagayan. An estimated 6,000 POW's are now in our hands.

On Luzon, Imperial forces took control of Legaspi.

At Takao, an opportunistic US submarine attempted an attack on Japanese shipping, but her captain lacked the fortitude to press it home, and our destroyers drove off the enemy pirates.

Status: offline 		Bad day to be a sailor on a Japanese destroyer today. Too bad for them that their supreme commander (i.e. me) forgot his brain when he did the last turn. The scene: Manilla Bay. I sent a task force in to bombard the enemy positions at Manilla, past the now quiet guns of Corregidor. Now, I ALWAYS turn off "escorts bombard" because destroyers are so very, very vulnerable to CD fire; ALWAYS!

Except, it would seem, this turn. That little expedition cost me 3 destroyers! Grmbl...

Erhem! Elsewhere, there was an altercation at Takao, where USN submarine S-3 put a fish into the side of yet another Imperial destroyer (the Momo), immediately answered by 3 depth charge hits on the submarine. What the h*ll does it take to put down a submarine, anyway?

Status: offline 		No outright disasters this turn, just more grinding attritional warfare in Manilla. Why don't these people realise the futility and hopelessness of their situation?

In the last few days, more and more US submarines have been spotted in the waters around Luzon and Formosa. The yellow areas in the screenshot below represent locations where enemy subs have been engaged by Imperial ASW forces, universally without any apparent result.

Status: offline 		The first surface action in a loooooooong time this turn, as four Imperial cruisers returning from the bombardment of Manilla stumbled across the US Navy ammunition ship Nitro, escorted by the destroyer Tracy, approximately 60 miles west of Batan Island.

The Tracy attempted to cover the Nitro's escape by letting herself be mercilessly pummelled by overwhelming Japanese firepower, but this didn't keep our vessels from landing a few hits before the American supply ship faded away into the predawn darkness.

Northwest of Wake Island, US submarine R-1 was detected by Imperial ASW forces and inconclusively engaged.

Status: offline 		Very odd series of surface combats north of Lingayen today. More Japanese ships returning from Manilla ran across the missing Chinese cruisers and destroyers. The odd bit is that the range never got closer than 21,000 yards, and the very few hits achieved bounced off harmlessly on both sides.

On Luzon, the town of Naga was taken by Imperial forces advancing from Legaspi.

Status: offline 		More submarine action this turn. Enemy submarine S-8 attempted another unsuccesful attack on our ASW ships at Legaspi. Elsewhere, east of Taytay, her sister S-6 got more lucky, as evident in the attached screenshot.

North of Vigan, the Chinese force attacked a poorly-escorted convoy of our troopships, but was unable to sink any. Their little parade through our waters will soon be over!

Elsewhere, Imperial Intelligence has been able to confirm that the American cargo ship Laida, mined at Midway on July 15th, has sunk.

Status: offline 		As promised, the Chinese free ride has been sharply curtailed. An Imperial cruiser/destroyer group found the interlopers north of Aparri last night, and surprised them. Infuriatingly, the entire spread of torpedoes fired by all our torpedo-equipped ships missed, but the subsequent gunfire didn't.

The only other thing to report was an unsuccesful submarine attack by one of our boats west of Laysan Island.

Note the current overall scores included in the top right of the screenshot.

Status: offline 		In a disturbing development today, the minesweeper Natsushima Maru, whilst operating in Manilla Bay, strayed within range of the 14-inch coastal defence guns still active in the Philippino capital. Whether a result of technical error or a mistake on the part of the crew, the end was the same, and she was blown out of the water.

(Definitely human error, but not on the part of the Natsushima Maru's crew...)

Other than that, nothing new to report.

Status: offline 		Two things today: US submarine S-8 was dinged three times by depth charges at Legaspi, but again refused to dive for the final time. At Manilla, Imperial troops broke through another improvised line of enemy fortifications, but once again at very heavy cost.

The screenshot says it all:
