As in the ship captain or as in one of the pilots? We dont have anyone from Army yet(I dropped Anvilfolk's second  :P ) yet. IJAAF is about to get some new hot planes next month, Ki-45 heavy fighter/fighter-bomber and Ki-44 which is much better than Zero, and I'd have some squads with fresh, well trained pilots being readied for the new planes and moved to Burma ASAP.  ;)

But the glamour of the fighter pilot! You know nothing, Sheb! ;)

It was good to see what people have been up to. Minobe is eagerly awaiting enemy units to shoot down! :)

April 18th


Another decent day to be Japanese...

Indian Ocean: CVL Ryujo doesnt find a trace of the yesterday's convoy(the last intact ship probably escaped to limbo across the map edge) but CV Kaga, already turning back north, runs just 3 hex short a THIRD big convoy heading West - 7 ships are attacked, 6 hit, and these are in fuel load too and burn up nicely! Naval search thinks there are now 4 ships left(only one was actually seen sunk, but the ones burning must have gone under or are about to). If this convoy was 8-ship strong as the previous ones it should have 2. Its 2 hex from map edge, so CV Kaga TF dispatches 3 DDs and battleship Kongo in a try to catch them next night.

      xAK Empire Rani, Bomb hits 3,  heavy fires,  heavy damage
      xAK Autolycus, Bomb hits 3, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk
      xAK City of Exeter, Bomb hits 1,  heavy fires
      xAK Adrastus
      xAK Clan Macwhirter, Bomb hits 1,  on fire
      xAK City of Canterbury, Bomb hits 1,  heavy fires
      xAK Empire Niger, Bomb hits 2,  heavy fires

The single torpedo hit was Kaga's last torpedo. Ryujo was way out of range, again...

This raid is becoming very successful, 20 big Dominion L and Euro K class xAKs down already, 1 hit possible kill and some still left for tomorrow... The far-away picket ships and floatplane cruisers do not sight enemy naval activity nor have they sighted search aircraft so looks like we're going to get out unscathed. [:D]


Home Islands: CLs Tenryu and Tatsuta begin their 180 day conversions to CLAAs. Once they are ready they have AA armament equal to Kongo class BBs.

April 19th


Indian Ocean: No enemy contact. Kaga and Ryuju will form up tomorrow, gather their escorts, and start heading home after a job well done.

East Indies: Bandoeng should be finally cut off tomorrow. Bombing and ground shock attack results are very promising(2:1 already today but for whatever reason they didnt retreat)...

South Pacific:

Aerial recon sights new enemy bombers at Townsville, Australia.

PO2 Nishiura P (Burnt Pies): Kanoya Ku K-1 and Chitose Ku K-1 are ordered to hit Townsville tomorrow. Escort for the 72 bombers is provided by 41 Zeros of 3rd Ku S-1, operating at their maximum range. While 3rd Ku's Zeros are away, Chitose Ku S-1/B(with Anvilfolk's PO1 Minobe, J) from Buna will fly LRCAP patrol over Port Moresby, just to be sure. This is it...

Home Islands: Ki-44-IIa advanced a month due to the massive R&D program. First examples roll out of the factory in 12 days.

And starting from May 1st + 2-3 days we will start producing some new planes. Tracker-screenshots with some explanations are within the spoilers below:

Spoiler: A6M2 vs. A6M3 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: G3M2 vs. G3M3 vs. G4M1 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Ki-43 vs. Ki-44 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Ki-45 (click to show/hide)

Kickingbottom: I'll add you to the first Ki-44 unit. However I'll do a lot of pilot rotation the next 10 turns so I wont choose you a pilot/unit quite yet...

I just finished reading Smeulders' AARs over the forums. I won't say anything about the game so as to keep OPSEC, but I must say your ARRs are much more enjoyable. I don't think I would have become such an addict if he was the one posting on Bay12. Keep up the good work, for the glory of Japan!

Niiiiiiiice! That is absolutely wonderful information :) WITP-tracker, is it? Going to have to get my hands on that!

I am now also very very tempted to read Smeulders' AAR to figure out what he's up to...
