I didn't realize you had so much of New Guinea. Makes me wonder why the Marianas were so lightly garrisoned.[&:]

Lowpe-
El Lobo invested heavily in Burma and China and chose not to be aggressive with his expansion of the Red Sun Empire in favor of preparing a tighter, stronger perimeter while also conserving his assets, fuel, and supply.
I have not ventured into the Philippines, Malaysia, Sumatra, nor Java, etc., nor do I intend to visit those places as El Lobo has no doubt set-up a buzz-saw there of interconnected and supportive bases in strength.
The Allies have so many places they can invade when the Allies think they have sufficient assets to invade. The Japanese simply don't have the assets to defend everywhere.
I believe that El Lobo thought he had time to build-up the Marianas Islands. A reasonable belief.

Today was a very slow day.
Naturally, my brave Chinese ducked at Chengtu, Chungking, and Chihkiang.
Captain Haggard put a couple hits on an El Lobo submarine.
Other than that, not much news except today the Allies spent 1,354 Political Points changing the commands of restricted aircraft squadrons.

[center]Burma
July 5, 1943[/center]
The Allied forces in Burma are attempting to block Japanese ground forces from retreating south into Rangoon and Pegu in an effort to trap and destroy as many Japanese as possible.
The British and Australians with supporting Tank Battalions along with all the U.S. Army Artillery are presently due east of Taung Gyi. The Brits and Aussies will travel along the railway to Toungoo.
The 21st, 40th, and Americal U.S. Army Infantry Divisions with supporting Tank and Anti-tank Battalions are presently at Taung Gyi. The Americans will race down the grey road and attempt to slip in behind the Japanese retreat just below and southwest of Toungoo. A blocking force consisting o mixed Indian and Burma Corps units with supporting Artillery are already one hex southwest of Toungoo.
In western China, the Allies have blocked Japanese troops in China due west of Paoshan. El Lobo has recently moved 18 more Japanese units toward Paoshan (those troops are presently one hex northeast of Paoshan). The Allies have 1,100 AV west of Paoshan. Two U.S. Army Infantry Divisions and four Infantry Regiments (Two U.S. Army and two Chindit Brigades) will arrive within a week. One U.S. Infantray Division is at Lashiop and being held in reserve.
El Lobo remains strong in Burma and I anticipate that massive battles will soon occur within close proximity to Toungoo.

Welcome to The War College!
Thank you for the compliment.
I did make several mistakes. The Allies could have left Pearl a month earlier had it not been for losing PPs due to overdue ships and aircraft.

Holy Cow! Using carrier aircraft to bomb minor vessels from 1000 feet is just plain reckless - and he paid the price! [X(]
Shouldn't that be El Lobo having the nightmares, rather than Capt. Haggard?

Most of those attacks are port attacks...but there is a naval strafing attack by Nicks that targeted 2 subs and one xak. How is that even possible?

RE: THE WAR COLLEGE-Rio Bravo (A) v. El Lobo (J)
We here at Sub Command loathe information made public (hence the term "Silent Service"); however, for the sake of the pixel families back home, I am compelled to report the USS Pike is fine and well.
The heroic Dutch sub 023, already severely damaged, did sink.
The USS Balao, having already suffered extensive flotation damage in the closing hours of Operation Sea Shark, sank as well. She was days from making a try to Wake.
Because both vessels were docked at the time, repair crews were alerted and few casualties were suffered. Plus,I've got a pair of fine captains waiting for their next command...
Now as you all know, I've barely been around the block in this gig, but I have to say in regards to the last CR that I have never seen air combat casualties like that. Typically, I watch at "fast speed"; I watched these in regular speed, but the rapidity with which the Judys and Jills lit red and dropped away was very much like watching in fast speed. And a very small percentage were damaged, relative to those destroyed. No idea why.
