    Nulla di nuovo in NZ.
    In Eastern Australia non succede nulla.
    In Western Australia non succede nulla.
    Nell DEI lancio un altro deliberate nella base ad OVEST di Darwin, base che sara' importante punto d'appoggio per l'assalto a Darwin medesima. Forse ho bisogno di rinforzi dato che il terreno paludoso non aiuta.
    Nulla di nuovo in Burma.
    In Cina continuo con le turnazioni a Chikhiang prima di lanciare un altro assalto contro la citta' assediata. A Tuyun altro deliberate che vede le posizioni cinesi indebolirsi.
    Nel NOPAC tutto apparentemente tace.
    Nel CENPAC le navi alleate che avevano bombardato Truk si ritirano. Ieri Alleato aveva perso una BB causa sub e DD vari, oggi perde un CA moderno ed un'altra vecchia BB. Molto bene. In totale ha perso 3 DD + 2 BB + 1 CA contro i miei 3 DD: bene cosi.
    Nel SOPAC tutto parrebbe tranquillo, ma ha messo fighter a Pago Pago.

    Situazione logistica SOPAC: ottima.
    Situazione logistica CENPAC: ottima.
    Situazione logistica NOPAC: ottima.
    Situazione logistica Cina: ottima.
    Situazione logistica Burma.
    Situazione logistica DEI: in chiaroscuro (devo ancora finire di creare mini-stock di benza e supplies in basi chiave).
    Situazione logistica Western Australia: in chiaroscuro, ma complessivamente accettabile.
    Situazione logistica Eastern Australia: ottima.
    Situazione logistica NZ: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: in chiaroscuro. Ho sciaguratamente finito il pool di A6M2-Zero nonostante un'ottima produzione ed il pool di Oscar-Ic e' perennemente vuoto. Il pool di bomber e' in netta crescita dopo che ho tenuto a terra i gruppi in Cina per una decina di giorni. Il pool di DB/TB procede bene. Il pool di FP procede bene.
    Pool ARM e VEH ottimi.
    Pool NavShipyard malaccio ma fra pochi turni inizio a varare roba interessante che abbassa drasticamente il quantitativo di punti richiesti (1 CV e poco dopo 1 CV+1 CVL).
    Pool di MerchShipyard ottimo.
    Pool HI ottimo.
    Pool benza/oil buono.
    Pool RES enorme come sempre.
    Pool supplies un poco sottotono e tale restera' fino a Giugno '42, quando e' previsto il grande boom economico imperiale.
    Quantitativo di mercantili: ottimo.
    Quantitativo di TK/AO: ottimo.
    Quantitativo di xAKL per cabotaggio: ottimo.
    Quantitativo di navi ASW: pessimo.
    Quantitativo di navi supporto (AKE in primis): ottimo.

    In NZ non succede niente.
    In Eastern Australia bombardo dal mare Brisbane, dove faccio alcune vittime. Alleato sta cercando di colpire il fianco OVEST di Brisbane stessa.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI do un altro colpetto agli sbandati del Borneo ed alla base ad OVEST di Darwin.
    Nulla di nuovo in Burma.
    In Cina ottengo un solido 2:1 a Tuyun e spero di catturare la base a breve.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC le TF alleate si stanno ritirando verso EST in modo disorganizzato dopo la debacle di Truk.
    Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

    Situazione logistica: ottima grossomodo ovunque.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    In NZ nulla di nuovo.
    In Western Australia bombardo di nuovo Brisbane dal mare.
    In Eastern Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI sono vicino a catturare l'ultima base presidiata in mani alleate.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina assalto le truppe nemiche a Liuchow, base in mio possesso, ed ottengo buoni risultati.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC affondo 2 DD reduci della battaglia di Truk ed i miei sub affondano un CL. I 2 DD sono venuti giu' grazie al simpatico intervento di un gruppo di Val imbarcati: ho infatti mosso in zona una corposa TF aerea coperta da molte navi di superficie; peccato aver mancato l'ingaggio con le navi alleate in ritirata (sono ad un giorno di navigazione ma non le ragigungero').
    Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

    Situazione logistica generale: molto buona. Il mese di Aprile, come pianificato, sta andando via tranquillo e mi sto dedicando a mettere in sicurezza il perimetro conquistato durante il bonus sbarchi. La situazione logistica e' in nettissimo miglioramento dappertutto.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    In NZ Alleato si fa vivo e bombarda l'AF di Palmerston North, distruggendo vari bomber imperiali.
    In Eastern Australia tutto tace.
    In Western Australia catturo Kargoolie, importante base alleata dato che e' il capolinea della ferrovia PERTH-SYDNEY. Adesso la zona di Perth non e' piu' attaccabile dalle truppe in zona Sydney&co.
    Nelle DEI tutto prosegue grossomodo tranquillamente.
    In Birmania continuo la pressione sugli sbandati e muovo sempre piu' verso NORD-EST.
    In Cina lancio un ulteriore deliberate a Liuchow ed ottengo buoni risultati per il secondo turno di fila.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC le navi alleate sono oramai ampiamente in fuga e non le raggiungero' con le mie flotte. La mia intenzione era comunque di eliminare eventuali navi azzoppate, ma i sub hanno fatto tutto il lavoro, rendendo l'intervento delle portaerei relativamente inutile.
    Nel SOPAC credo la situazione sia da monitorare attentamente, dato che Alleato non da segni di vita da un pezzo. Credo voglia usare Pago Pago come trampolino di lancio per operazioni su Fiji&co.

    Situazione logistica: ottima dovunque. Sto approntando la campagna di Port Moresby, campagna che spero essere abbastanza breve (un mese circa). Altre campagne minori sono in fase d'organizzazione: Darwin e costa NORD Australia, Townsville, etcetc. La fine del bonus sbarchi rende tutto molto piu' lento, ma ho una logistica d'acciaio e quindi e' abbastanza fattibile. Inoltre, si tratta sopratutto di basi lasciate indietro e dove Alleato non ha ne' risorse navali ne' aeree per intralciarmi. Credo di poter completare questa fase entro fine Giugno 1942.
    Sono, comunque, gia' sulla difensiva strategica dovunque, cosa che mi aiuta assai al momento dato che ho da ristrutturare il posizionamento dei miei asset e creare una rete logistica piu' solida.

    Situazione industriale: a gonfie vele.

    In NZ metto CAP e faccio strage degli ultimi bomber kiwi.
    In Eastern Australia Alleato preme su Towoomba.
    In Western Australia niente di nuovo.
    Nelle DEI catturo Zamboanga, ultima base presidiata ancora in mani alleate.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina catturo Chikhiang con grandi perdite per il cinese (34.000 morti) e continuo gli assalti a Liuchow.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC manco l'intercettazione di un convoglio di AP/AO che ha lasciato da poco Wake.
    Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

    Situazione logistica: ottima dovunque.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    CuloDiMarmoN*2 mi ha scaricato tipo sacchetto dell'immondizia.
    Non so se sia stato farmi sorprendere con una mano nelle mutande della sua migliore amica qui (non una bella scena lo ammetto) o se aver chiarito i miei nefasti progetti riguardo il culo, affatto di marmo, della pediatra canadese cui piaccio tantissimo ma che "non si fida". Le ho detto che fa benone a non fidarsi fra l'altro. Sta di fatto che ho molto piu' tempo per WITPAE mi sa.

    Dunque.

    Piccolo recap.

    Non ho voglia di aprire il gioco quindi niente cifre.


    Siamo a fine Aprile 1942. Sono passati circa 130-140 turni, il che ci da' poco meno di 5 mesi di operazioni svolte.

    La mia grand strategy e' naturalmente segreto di stato (alcuni di voi cari lettori gia' la sanno per PM da prima dell'inizio del match), ma la visione d'insieme e' stata relativamente semplice: sfondare nelle DEI in rapidita' senza lasciarmi niente indietro e continuare con l'offensiva strategica ben in la' nel match.
    Offensiva strategica che, sebbene adesso inframmezzata da pause varie, prosegue gioiosa.

    Alleato ha buttato via un fracco di materiel e la cosa mi fa gioco. Le perdite in CA e CV sono pesanti e non le recuperera' a breve. Force Z annichilita ma RN ancora pressoche' intatta.

    Lo sfondamento nelle DEI e' stato propedeutico ad un impegno assai in profondita', raggiungendo la NZ gia' a Marzo '42. Alleato ha commesso un errore strategico notevole a Noumea e l'ho punito eliminando le CV americane.

    Con lo sbarco in Western Australia e la cattura di Perth, ho concluso l'accerchiamento dell'Australia.

    Allo stato attuale, infatti, l'Australia e' tagliata fuori dal mondo. La cosa non e' inconsequenziale.

    In termini prettamente strategici, l'eliminazione del vettore australiano e' importante dato che obbliga Alleato a muovere o nel NOPAC o nel CENPAC o in Burma. Opzioni complesse. Nel NOPAC puo' avanzare con copertura aeronavale modesta e fare dei piccoli salti in avanti, ma ha comunque difficolta' senza portaerei e con le mie basi logistiche pressoche' approntate. Difficilmente puo' avanzare prima di meta' 1943.
    Il CENPAC e' follia senza portaerei (ed anche con).
    Burma parrebbe lasciata a se' stessa per il momento.

    Senza ombra di dubbio cerchera' di utilizzare l'intatta RN ed i rinforzi d'emergenza arrivati in India per effettuare un'offensiva di qualche genere. Sono pronto.
    Rangoon e' estremamente difesa. Le Andamane stanno venendo fortificate. Sumatra e' attaccabile, ma sto approntando basi varie che possono essere utilizzate per parare il colpo nei primissimi giorni di sbarco; dopo, e' la fine per lui. Giava e' un suicidio.
    Western Australia e' fattibile, ma ha il problema di Giava/Sumatra: sbarca, magari prende qualcosa ma poi ci resta piantato e perde vagonate di materiel.
    In linea di massima l'opzione piu' saggia per lui e' rafforzare la NZ, consolidare la zona di Taithi e sviluppare decentemente gli approcci alla roccaforte di Pago Pago, dalla quale poi puo' sviluppare sulle Figi.

    Ad ogni modo, le mie posizioni difensive sono abbastanza solide gia' ora e lui ha perso le CV. Oltre che un fracco di AP/AK, essenziali negli sbarchi.

    Le mie perdite sono fin qui contenute. Sto iniziando ad usare con profitto 3 CVE per fare da scorta a convogli vari che si muovono in giro ed ho praticamente azzerato le perdite per i bomber vari che vanno a bassa quota.




    Il futuro prossimo mi riserva operazioni minori.
    A Maggio 1942 approccio Port Moresby. La visione e' di catturare i vari dot/basi della PNG e svillupare Buna, dalla quale avanzo via terra sulla base nemica. BB varie e bomber martellano il luogo per un po' ed alla fine inizio gli assalti.
    Truppe di seconda schiera (ma veterane della campagna di Mindanao) sono state preparate per l'operazione.
    Credo che prendera' circa due mesi la riduzione della base nemica. Quindi, per fine Giugno 1942 dovrei averla in mio possesso.

    A fine Aprile 1942 conto di eliminare anche Townsville, importante base in Eastern Australia. L'importanza di Townsville e' prettamente geografica: con Port Moresby eliminata e Darwin pure, posso inviare convogli vari li' invece che utilizzare le piu' esposte Rockhampton&co.

    Nel corso di Maggio e Giugno 1942 ho anche da sbarazzarmi di Darwin. Qui il processo e' il solito: catturare Wyndham (gia' mia) a OVEST di essa, svilupparla un minimo per far affluire rinforzi e basarvi qualche caccia e poi brasare Darwin dal mare e dal cielo mentre le mie truppe si avvicinano. Usero' una parte delle truppe della campagna di Mindanao.
    La campagna di Mindanao, infatti, ha avuto a disposizione circa 1,500AV cui si sommano i circa 500AV gia' disponibili per altre operazioni e che provengono dalla Cina e dalla madrepatria.
    Con 2,000AV conto di eliminare sia Darwin che Port Moresby senza problema alcuno. Credo che usero' 6 BB per dare fuoco di supporto. Inizialmente, tutte e 10 le BB a mia disposizione. Forse addirittura 11 se decido di aggiungere la Yamato.

    Nel mentre ho anche da eliminare alcune posizioni minori di Alleato come Canton Island, Wake e Pago Pago. Qui la logica e' semplicissima: creo la catena logistica necessaria, taglio fuori la base nemica e poi la elimino con un paio di settimane di bombardamenti aeronavali intensi. Poi, sbarco ed amen.
    In NZ ho da portare rinforzi per contro.

    Credo che svolgero' le operazioni preliminari su Darwin e Port Moresby (sbarchi minori, sviluppo basi, trasporto truppe, bombardamenti aerei) mentre faccio una breve campagna nel SOPAC.
    Ho attualmente a disposizione 6 portaerei di squadra e 3 portaerei leggere. Piu' la CVE Hosho che si puo' volendo aggiungere senza problemi (fa 25knts come le BB ed una CV di squadra).
    Entro Giugno potrei varare un'altra CV ed una CVL, ma ci sta che non le acceleri considerato il mio enorme vantaggio in fatto di aerei imbarcati.

    Partendo il 1 Maggio da Onshu, posso essere nel SOPAC con TF di ogni tipo verso il 15 Maggio. Il 1 Giugno inizio gli assalti ed i rinforzi per la NZ ed il 1 Luglio ho catturato cio' di cui necessito. Resta l'incognita Wake per contro.
    In tutto cio', credo di poter anche coprirmi il didietro nella zona OVEST della mappa, dove la RN, pur numerosa, non puo' affrontare la LBA imperiale.

    Entro fine Luglio conto anche di chiudere la partita cinese. Changsha e' accerchiata ed Alleato ha una cosa come 5,000AV nella zona. Dato che ho gia' gli accessi alla piana di Chunking in mano mia, posso tranquillamente sfondare il settore di Changsha prendendolo per logoramento e poi muovere truppe varie fuori dal Teatro. In linea di principio posso prelevare un 5 divisioni di fanteria e le centinaia di bomber dell'IJAAF. Piu' i circa 250 caccia (quelli vanno nelle DEI come addestramento e copertura in caso di problemi).


    In definitiva il match va a gonfie vele e sono ragionevolmente sicuro di ottenere l'autovictory senza problemi. Essendo ora sul 3:1 ai punti, non credo di mancare il 4:1 a fine anno.
    Sul piano prettamente militare, le cose stanno andando benissimo con la Cina massacrata, le DEI catturate tranquillamente, il NOPAC contestato ed il SOPAC in mano mia. Australia accerchiata e NZ impegnata.
    Qualunque azione alleata allo stato attuale rischia di darmi solamente piu' punti. Sono un po' perplesso all'idea di una serie di campagne lente e moderate in varie zone della mappa, ma credo di poterle gestire. Credo anche che non siano affatto ne' nelle corde ne' nella capacita' tecnica di Alleato e quindi mi sento ragionevolmente sicuro.

    Con la flotta imperiale pressoche' intatta (salvo la Kaga affondata e due CA persi contro la Force Z), posso tranquillamente tenere coperte vastissime aree di oceano ed evitare scherzi.
    I vari prossimi venturi mi daranno ulteriore vantaggio.


    Ad occhio, direi che Alleato potra' permettersi operazioni su scala divisionale verso fine '43, forse inizio '44. La perdita delle CV e dei CA gli dara' grandi problemi prima. Operazioni ben concepite e svolte possono anche riuscire, ma non puo' oggettivamente controllare il mare e quindi ha davvero poco spazio di manovra. Giusto la "testa di ponte" di Pago Pago e le Aleutine sono Teatri dove puo' avanzare ed attualmente mantenere cio' che prende senza perdite allucinanti. Inutile dire che entrambe le aree sono decisamente sotto la lente d'ingrandimento imperiale.


    Adesso prevedo qualche mese di relativa tranquillita', dove mi impegnero' sopratutto a svolgere le operazioni minori di cui sopra e puntellero' il perimetro. Sopratutto, cerchero' di sviluppare le basi che mi sono necessarie. Allo stato attuale, ad esempio, non ho ancora approntato basi intermedie fra Truk/Rabaul ed il SOPAC, cosa che disturba un poco la mia logistica. In compenso, pero', ho gia' quasi del tutto finito di organizzare le basi arretrate nelle DEI (i porti per le TK e gli AF per difesa in caso di mosse bislacche) ed alcune basi di prima linea sono in dirittura d'arrivo (Magw AF lvl7 per esempio o Rockhampton che sta per raggiungere AF lvl9).
    Noumea e Figi sono gia' ok. Marshall procedono a rilento ma non ho fretta (assurda una manovra li'). Gilbert e Salomone meridionali da migliorare pero': qui sto andando davvero male.
    Basi nel NOPAC vanno avanti spedite adesso che non e' piu' inverno. Basi nel CENPAC come IwoJima&co sono in fase di costruzione ma non c'e' fretta.

    In sostanza le mie priorita' per i prossimi tre mesi sono:
    1. miglioramento catena logistica (creazione stock benza nei posti adeguati, disposizione supplies etcetc)
    2. miglioramento rete ASW
    3. sviluppo basi
    4. sviluppo forts in basi chiave
    5. eliminazione di alcune sacche lasciate indietro
    6. chiusura della campagna cinese
    7. finalizzazione lavori su basi arretrate cosi da liberare genieri per altri compiti
    8. razionalizzazione delle mie forze (dispiegare meglio le garrison, spalmare la pletora di NavGuards/SNLF in giro, etcetc)
    9. creazione di una riserva strategica di alta qualita'
    10. conversione bomber 1E in 2E
    11. miglioramento organizzazione convogli di benza e risorse


    That's all folks!

    In NZ Alleato muove qualche truppa.
    In Eastern Australia la pressione alleata e' molto forte. Le mie due divisioni a OVEST di Brisbane si beccano un deliberate pesantuccio sul capo ed ho perdite molto alte (sopratutto disablements c'e' da dire). Sweep su Sidney deludente.
    In Western Australia niente di nuovo.
    Nelle DEI proseguo le manovre su Darwin ed inizio ad usare i para' per catturare basi varie.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina ulteriore spallata alle truppe a Liuchow, accerchiate.
    Nel NOPAC nulla di nuovo.
    Nel CENPAC nulla di nuovo.
    Nel SOPAC nulla di nuovo.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima, ho finalmente il bonus motori all'Ha-34 (per l'Helen-IIa).

    Si certo ha beccato diverse mine sui DD. Mi pare anche una BB sia stata colpita. In ogni caso ci ha rimesso 4-5 DD, 2 BB e 1 CA.

    Io ho perso un 3-4 DD a mia volta pero'.

    IN OGNI CASO LA FRANCESE SORCHISSIMA NON ME LA DA' PIU' PERCHE' SONO OGGETTIVAMENTE UN COGLIONE, MA MI CONSOLO CON LA BELGA CARUCCIA ASSAI CHE VUOLE SCOPARE A GIORNATE SANE. ALLAH E' GRANDE. BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!


    In NZ nulla di nuovo.
    In Eastern Australia bombardo Sidney dal mare senza troppe pretese.
    In Western Australia continuo ad attaccare una povera LCU di carri alleata.
    Nelle DEI tutto procede.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina catturo Liuchow facendo grande strage dei difensori.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC tutto tace.
    Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    In Western Australia tutto tace.

    Nel SOPAC continuo gli sbarchi nella zona di Port Moresby ed inizio ad assaltare Salamua, la CVE arriva a dare copertura aerea e vari catalina vengono abbattuti. Un paio di CA bombardano dal mare per tenere alta la pressione.

    Situazione logistica: ottima pressoche' dovunque ma in Eastern Australia sento la mancanza di stock piu' grandi di supplies.
    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    In Eastern Australia subisco pesanti bombardamenti terrestri a Towoomba.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina tutto tace.
    Nel NOPAC porto rinforzi vari ed eventuali per creare un solido network di basi in grado sia di premere su Dutch Harbor che di minacciare eventuali rotte alleate in caso di assalto diretto alle Kurili.
    Nel CENPAC tutto tace.
    Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

    Situazione logistica: nel NOPAC appunto sono riuscito a trasferire truppe ma anche un discreto quantitativo di benza e supplies.
    Nel SOPAC ho rifornito di benza varie basi fra Truk e Noumea/Suva.
    Nelle DEI sto mettendo a punto convogli piu' efficienti.
    Situazione industriale: ottima, ma sono sempre a corto di A6M2-Zero ed Oscar-Ic sebbene io li usi relativamente poco.

    In NZ manco le due TK superstiti coi Betty/Nell, equipaggiati con le bombe a causa della distanza.
    In Eastern Australia Alleato commette un errore madornale e lancia uno shock attack a Towoomba dove subisce perdite catastrofiche e, de facto, mi consegna la campagna australiana.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina tutto tace.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC tutto tace.
    Nel SOPAC sweeppo dalle CV Pago Pago e lancio un gruppo di Nell in port strike ma con risultati deludenti.

    Situazione logistica: devo assolutamente portare 1 AO in zona Perth.
    Situazione industriale: devo ancora fare i calcoli ma parrebbe che, purtroppo, l'Helen-IIa entri in produzione a Giugno '42.

    In NZ attacco una piccola LCU mezza sbandata.
    In Eastern Australia i danni alle truppe alleate sono enormi dopo il folle shock attack del 09 Maggio 1942; Alleato fa uscire una TF di incrociatori da Sydney per intercettare le mie navi a Maryborough: purtroppo i miei Betty/Nell sono in ASW ed un solo gruppo prova ad attaccare le navi nemiche (con le bombe) senza ottenere risultati; 11 navi da battaglia imperiali bombardano dal mare Brisbane facendo scempio di aerei, installazioni varie e truppe nemiche.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma abbandono Akyab e posiziono la Imperial Guards Division a EST di Akyab stessa: dato il terreno e la qualita' delle mie truppe dovrei non avere problemi a difendere la posizione; inoltre, credo Alleato non abbia supplies ne' possa portarle via mare ad Akyab stessa.
    In Cina tutto tace.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC un convoglio arriva a Wake ma non posso ingaggiarlo.
    Nel SOPAC lancio un secondo strike delle CV su Pago Pago per finire una importante AP disbandata in porto che, infatti, affonda malamente (un'ennesima APA in meno!).

    Situazione logistica: da migliorare le infrastrutture nel CENPAC, sopratutto nelle Marshall, cosi da avere un appoggio migliore sulla campagna di Wake. Nel NOPAC tutto procede bene. Nel SOPAC potrei avere un po' piu' di ENG in giro ma va bene cosi ed ho buoni quantitativi di supplies, sebbene la NZ sia un poco a corto. In Australia tutto ok. Nelle DEI voglio migliorare alcune infrastrutture ma tutto va abbastanza bene. In Burma posso fare meglio, specie in termini di distribuzione di ENG. Cina ottima.
    Situazione industriale: il nuovo Nell e' in produzione da inizio Maggio e presto potro' iniziare a convertire tutti i gruppi IJNAF a tale, magnifico, aereo. Con 21 hex in normal e 26 hex in extended ha un range gigantesco per fare strike/NavS/recon. Inoltre, uniformare la produzione dei bomber IJNAF non e' una cattiva idea.

    In NZ non succede nulla.
    In Eastern Australia Alleato parrebbe disingaggiarsi da Townsville dopo il disastroso shock attack.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nell DEI tutto continua come solito con me che catturo dot vari dovunque.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina pare Alleato voglia muovere da Chungking verso SUD.
    Nel NOPAC muovo in avanti verso Dutch Harbor con barges varie.
    Nel CENPAC tutto tace.
    Nel SOPAC continuo i bombardamenti incessanti su Port Moresby e catturo Wau, distruggendo due piccole compagnie di fanteria australiane.

    Situazione logistica: in NZ dovro' poi portare supplies a volonta'. In Australia e DEI tutto va benone. In Burma ho bisogno di un flusso piu' costante di supplies per finanziare i miei lavori di costruzione infrastrutturale. In Cina tutto ok. Nel NOPAC sto avanzando piano piano sviluppando varie basi e muovendomi molto coi barges: il mio centro logistico principale ad Adak Island e' molto solido comunque. Nel CENPAC sono indietro dovunque. Nel SOPAC sto giusto ora trasferendo qualche ENG per migliorarne la distribuzione complessiva.
    Situazione industriale: credo di dover iniziare ad incrementare la produzione del Nick ed equipaggiare qualche gruppo aereo con esso: i 4E alleati potrebbero diventare un problema in Burma e Australia, anche se per ora tengo botta ammassando AA/Zero/Oscar nelle location chiave.

    In Cina continua il bizzarro movimento di Alleato da Chungking verso SUD.
    Nel NOPAC trasporto materiel vario e va tutto bene.

    Nel SOPAC affondo a cannonate le due TK superstiti del convoglio di 6 attaccato dai Betty/Nell qualche giorno fa; oltre che le 6 grandi TK cariche affondate, Alleato perde anche 3 utilissime PC a lungo raggio e 2 AM.

    Situazione logistica: buona dovunque; sto iniziando a portare ENG in alcune basi chiave per svilupparle cosi da supportare le prossime operazioni.
    Situazione industriale: molto buona, ma carenza di aerei chiave diffusa.

    In NZ niente di nuovo.
    In Eastern Australia Alleato e' in piena ritirata da Towoomba per cercare di proteggere Brisbane; rafforzate le truppe deputate all'attacco di Townsville.
    In Western Australia il Tone raggiunge ed affonda un convoglio di 5 TK inglesi cariche di benza: sono ben 11 le TK affondate nell'ultima settimana, piu' due AO; le 2 AO le ho segate a Pago Pago con le CV, 4 TK coi Betty/Nell dalla NZ, 2 TK con dei CA da Noumea e queste 5 con il solitario Tone.
    Nelle DEI niente di nuovo.
    In Burma immagino fra poco si inizi a ballare in zona Akyab; la cosa mi preoccupa il giusto dato che dubito fortemente Alleato possa sostenere un'offensiva nel settore nel 1942.
    In Cina tutto tace.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC tutto tace.
    Nel SOPAC approccio Port Moresby che iniziero' ad assaltare fra qualche turno.

    Situazione logistica: ottima dovunque salvo Burma.
    Situazione industriale: eccelsa.

    In NZ avvisto un convoglio alleato in movimento verso OVEST.
    In Eastern Australia raggiungo in forze Brisbane e la bombardo pesantemente dal mare.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina Alleato muove a SUD di Chungking e devasta il 138th reggimento di fanteria che viene pressoche' annientato dai 2800AV cinesi in marcia: conto di fermarli un poco piu' a SUD. Se tutto va bene, riusciro' ad accerchiarli eliminando cosi le ultime difese di Chunking.
    Nel NOPAC arrivano rinforzi con ritmo regolare.
    Nel CENPAC tutto purtroppo tace.
    Nel SOPAC muovo gente varia in preparazione delle offensive prossime venture. Scopro che Port Moresby ha soli 120AV a difesa e potro' quindi travolgerla a breve.

    Situazione logistica: ottima nel NOPAC; sufficiente nel CENPAC; buona nel SOPAC; ottima in Eastern Australia; sufficiente per la benza in Western Australia; ottima nelle DEI; in miglioramento in Burma; ottima in Cina.
    Situazione industriale: ottima dato che sto perdendo pochissimi aerei/truppe/navi; da quando ho fermato l'espansione iniziale durante il bonus sbarchi ed ho iniziato a muovere in modo piu' tranquillo, le perdite sono pressoche' zero.

    In NZ, qualche hex ad OVEST di Raoul Island, ingaggio i convogli avvistati ieri e scopro con discreto sgomento che Alleato ha portato tutta la USN in loco. Breve ingaggio aeronavale e gli affondo un CA, un CL e la Hornet. I suoi 23 bomber che passano lo schermo della CAP non infliggono danno alcuno alle mie CV che sono pero' esposte ad un ingaggio di superficie (la distanza e' di un solo hex). Io dispongo di imponenti forze navali di superficie nel settore comunque. Un mercantile alleato viene colpito ed affondato dalle bombe dei Betty poco a NORD di Raoul Island.
    In Eastern Australia raggiungo Brisbane con 3.000 e rotti AV e mi preparo a spazzarne via i difensori; primo deliberate a Townsville che ha forts addirittura al lvl4: CA usati su Port Moresby reindirizzati su Townsville dato che la suddetta Port Moresby sara' una faccenda meno complicata del previsto.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma tutto tace, parrebbe Alleato voglia radunare le truppe ad Akyab e poi marciare contro i miei trincerati al di la' del fiume.
    In Cina bombardo le truppe a Changsha ed osservo i movimenti di Alleato a SUD di Chungking: pare si sia fermato per un turno.
    Nel NOPAC procedo a rinforzare basi varie.
    Nel CENPAC avvisto una TF di superficie alleata a Wake: probabile raid di superficie fra Onshu ed il SOPAC. Sono relativamente pronto ad affrontarlo.
    Nel SOPAC muovo verso le TF alleate ingaggiate dalle CV: ho a disposizione un grande quantitativo di CA e DD per domani, mentre ci sara' da aspettare almeno un turno ulteriore per l'arrivo della flotta di 11 BB impegnate in zona Brisbane. Al 99% cerchera' un ingaggio di superficie, cosa che mi lascia spazio per affondargli il convoglio con navi di superficie dopo che ho parato il colpo. C'e' anche da vedere se ha benza considerato che e' molto lontano dalla base piu' vicina. Le mie CV saranno coperte da forze di superficie varie durante la giornata... Spero.

    In NZ dei Betty decollano e piazzano tre siluri su una grassa xAP affondandola assieme ad una settantina di veicoli. Un siluro piazzato anche su una BB inglese.
    In Western Australia Alleato lancia ancora qualche B17 a 30,000ft senza fare danni; io concentro le truppe per la cattura di Brisbane.
    In Eastern Australia 4 DD giapponesi incontrano 10 xAK senza scorta e cariche di benzina, crivellandole di colpi: sono sicuramente tutte affondate.
    Nelle DEI continuo a bombardare Darwin con un paio di gruppi di Sally senza troppa convinzione.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina tutto tace.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC continuo a tenere sott'occhio le TF alleate a Wake.
    Nel SOPAC le mie CV fuggono a tutta velocita' senza problemi. Due DD distaccati in virtu' della moltitudine di long lance imbarcati ingaggiano le TF alleate mandate contro le mie CV e piazzano un siluro su una lenta BB americana. Un DD viene poi perduto. Una piccola TF di 2 PB cariche di 1,000ton di supplies che faceva Noumea-NZ viene affondata: la catena di convogli di PB fra Noumea e NZ viene momentaneamente sospesa (una TF rientra in porto, una non lascia Noumea ed una terza rimane in NZ medesima).

    Situazione logistica: ottima.
    Situazione industriale: ottima, convertito oggi il primo gruppo di bomber 1E a Nick, capofila dei miei asset anti-bomber.


    EDIT: Alleato ha a disposizione 8 vecchie BB USN (veterane di PH) ed 1 BB relativamente moderna della RN. Due BB sono state colpite da un siluro ciascuna e plausibilmente rallentate un poco. A cio' si aggiungono 6 moderni CA USN.
    Io posso ingaggiarlo con una forza di 11 navi da battaglia (l'intera linea di battaglia IJN al gran completo) supportate da circa 10 CA (gran parte senza long lance causa carenza infrastrutture) e dai 2 ottimi CL Kitakami&Oi.
    In linea di principio, quindi, posso provare una risoluzione con una grande battaglia di superficie in pieno stile IJN. Oi e Kitakami supportati da uno squadrone di DD ingaggiano in notturna sperando di fare danni col centinaio di long lance a disposizione e poi forzo lo scontro in diurna fra BB.
    I CA, senza long lance, li tengo come forza di riserva per eliminare i mercantili e le navi alleate sfondate dallo scontro in diurna.
    La forza alleata e' drammaticamente a corto di DD e credo abbia consumato un congruo numero di munizioni, rendendomi il compito relativamente piu' facile.


    La linea di battaglia giapponese conta:
    • 4 vetuste Ise/Fuso Class (grossomodo equipollenti alle vecchie BB USN);
    • 2 solide Nagato Class
    • 4 fragili incrociatori da battaglia Kongo Class
    • 1 Yamato Class
    A cio' si aggiungono forze raffazzonate di DD e CA. Sono perplesso all'idea dell'ingaggio per molteplici ragioni, fra cui il fatto che avere le BB in supporto alla battaglia di Brisbane potrebbe essere strategicamente piu' rilevante.
    La mancanza di long lance sui CA, pure, non depone a favore.
    In compenso, ho i due eccelsi Kitakami&Oi a disposizione ed una marcata superiorita' numerica in fatto di DD (loro, si, coi long lance carichi a bordo).
    Una possibilita' sarebbe di ingaggiare con DD+Oi/Kitakami in notturna, lasciare i CA in copertura delle CV (portandole quindi in zona contrariamente al piano iniziale) e poi ingaggiare in diurna con le BB, lasciando ai Kate imbarcati il compito di finire le navi nemiche danneggiate dalle corazzate.
    Il terzo ed ultimo piano prevede di lanciare un assalto gigante in notturna con le sole forze leggere (CA con long lance carichi + Oi/Kitakami + DD di ogni tipo) e lasciare ai siluri il compito di massacrare le forze nemiche.
    Probabilmente, pero', decidero' di non ingaggiare dando priorita' all'obbiettivo che strategicamente mi pare piu' rilevante e cioe' la cattura di Brisbane. Il convoglio alleato, fra l'altro, difficilmente ha a bordo qualcosa di estremamente rilevante ed ogni unita' americana portata in Australia e' un'unita' americana imbottigliata magari per anni. Diverso sarebbe il discorso se il convoglio portasse aerei, ma mi pare di no.


    In ogni caso, Alleato paventa la resa ma vuole vedere il turno. Considerato il turno, credo si arrendera'.
