PBEM - WW II - sid level against japan-AI

[smellymummy]

Nanking has been liberated

The battle of Canton hill continues on. This has been so far the worst month in terms of casualties, with the entire infantry and MG battalion wiped out. The japanese must have a very large and strong force stationed down there

Fortunately, the chinese we're able to regain the lost positions and managed to strike at the enemy. Due to such valiant fighting, the prominent and exceptional General Sun has been promoted and given command of the southern defense.

The japanese rubber supply in indochina seems to have been bombed, and chinese units are now standing on it. can anyone with spy abilities confirm the japanese resource status?

turn sent

cheeky bugger

yes the fleet continued to gather from there scattered positions

and a carrier had some problems in the swell, yet flight operations were not cancelled

and the ships sailed

and the airlift from the states continues

and the ships sailed

oh we won back a small island with a very little jappa garrison

and the ships sailed

oh we did capture a cannon in the garrison, unfortunatly there was no room on the transport to take it anywhere

and the ships sailed

well yes I must admit that the ships did sail

nothing quite like seeing the DD Markos with old style canvas being drapped from its radar tower

Bangkok holds

Our troops have held bangkok successfully, and reinforcements are pouring into the region. To our chinese allies we had no spare gold this turn but will resume the aid packages next month. We are grateful to your troops helping out in this region.

There are fresh troops arrived in the Hong kong region we spotted a transport convoy heading in that direction so be on your guard, to US and netherlands we all seem to have some subs there we may be able to make some kills.

I am attaching a shot of the Palau region with this despatch, the BB Prince of wales has made a kill in these waters sending a jap cruiser to the ocean floor, we can also confirm that there are two Jap carriers here one cruiser and another battleship that just left harbour at Palau, sabre you have two subs their go get them and anyone else who has boats in this area, Im sending 2 subs and a destroyer from the SE to try and intercept.

now that's a lot better


unfortunatly guys, i won't be able to play my turn tonight... been up all day at a symposium and i feel completely sucked dry (of energy, not of what you may be thinking ). 4.5 hours sleep and stuffing food in you every 2 hours definatly doesn't make one fitter

[Paddy]

oh so I write all that and you scamper off for free food - get bloated and need to sleep

bahh humbug

you sure the prince of wales wasn't sunk by the japanese? I was under the assumption it was, along with the Repulse, and Electra, and iirc it was by the japs.

anyway following this trend of image attachements, here's a little reminder of the true historical power of our enemy. as unlikely as it may be, you guys better pray the SID japs don't have any seaborn samurais out and about

great pic

do you have more in that series

You are correct SM, the Prince was taken in 1942, all very sad

so I was quite impressed that Chrisius did not lose his - thus why I placed the pic in honour of his victory

another great month for the dutch fleet! our two submarines sank 2 japanese ships north of palau: one heavy cruiser and one destroyer! however, our subs are seriously battered from the underwater mines that were released by the japanese ships and will not survive any counter attack! so we please to ANY ships in the vicinity to immediately engage! the 2 ships are heavy cruisers and 2 tiles north of palau! with the force of all allied ships, we can finally remove the japanese dominance of the region.

during the attack, we sneaked in 5 units on to the island on palau. 4 infantry and 1 flak unit are hopelessly outgunned by the defences, but we're hoping for a japanese counterattack which may kill some of them! if we're lucky, the japanese fighter in the city (spotted when bombing the city) may attack and get lost to our flak.

our fleet has grown by 3 transport ships! so finally, we can move out troops around and bring in reinforcements!

on the economical side: a further city has reached a productive level and is starting to train military units. in the next 3 months, further 5 cities will be ready to do the same! by beginning of 1943 we should have all cities pumping out units to take island by island! our goal is to take the island of okinawa to buy some steel from hattori hanzo

research still on track for airbourne warfare in 2 months! these units may be weak but can be used to block passages and resources, especially in well defendable territories (jungle, hills, mountains)

sincerely, the president of netherlands and the dutch territories!
