Decent results on Manila. 800 kg bomb hits on a fair number of subs. The silent service still has to pass the minefield dropped (hoping that Mundy will forget about that and not sent AMs upfront).
- Decent results crippling the eyes of the US Navy...

Well done catching POW and Repulse and now the KB is in the chicken roost so to speak and not steaming back across relatively empty seas...

Thanks, strike coordination went as good as one can expect.. I'll call it a success once I've got boots on the ground at Palembang and Mersing!

Decent results, some losses... US carrier attacks shipping at Wake. I took no risks and only left 3 xAKs to unload supplies at the island. Two are sunk. The good news is that the carrier TF that attacked is now out of fuel and will need to go to PH before travelling further... Ocean Island is secured, 65th brigade will land at Rabaul tomorrow..

It may make sense to place some Vals off your CVs in northern Malaya or other highly experienced DBs to catch the 'thundering herd' headed through Strait of Malacca. Sinking TKs and some of the xAPs would hurt the Allies to some degree.
First AAR I've read with part of KB ended up off Singapore. Ouch!!

That is something I should consider. The biggest problem is that those Vals would have to come from my carriers.. My G4Ms have the range and they can penetrate Buffalo LRCAP..
Thanks for the tip..

Near Rabaul, the Tenryu's make the intercept. Sadly the transports are now protected by four allied cruisers. The performance is decent and both transports are left burning wrecks for the loss of Yayoi. Damage to the cruisers is acceptable (some yard time will be required). Maya and a pair of light cruisers move down to reinforce the area until it can be torp enabled...

Nothing too shocking for now. Landings at Luzon and hunting shipping around both the eastern and western routes as Mundy is pushing two big groups towards the south. Looks like the most valuable shipping is to the east. Not much airpower around but enough surface ships converging on the big convoy. Don't think it will get away..

Philippines
Nothing too shocking for now. Landings at Luzon and hunting shipping around both the eastern and western routes as Mundy is pushing two big groups towards the south. Looks like the most valuable shipping is to the east. Not much airpower around but enough surface ships converging on the big convoy. Don't think it will get away..

Thanks Joc, thanks for reading!

Today no pretty pictures, just a couple of relatively boring reports..
Most important combat of the day. Johoro assault did ok. About a regiment worth of troops disabled on the allied side. Tommorow we'll bombard and then we'll shock attack with 800 AV. That should push them out..

First week of air combat results..
Mundy has surrendered the sky over Singapore and only has a dozen orso fighters fighting over Luzon.. More or less under control!
Capital ships sunk so far:
BB Prince of Wales
BC Repulse
CL Boise
CL Durban
CL Dragon
CL Adelaide
CL de Ruyter
Damaged
CA Houston
That is ok, especially since so far none of my landings were seriously opposed. A clear indication that my protection is in order so far...
