GPS to the US!

The Japanese are tired of the US and its allies in using the goods embargo as a trade weapon. As a result, the Japanese are at war with the western allies and its Chinese puppet regime.

The results of the December campaign are as follows:

Malayan Penisula:
Captured Bhuket, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore.
BB Prince of Wales, BB Repulse sunk
1 Dutch sub sunk
No losses here.

India:
Flak unit killed in Rangoon by guerilla

Phillipines:
Captured Appari
LT destroyed
CA Houston, DD Estall sunk
No losses here.

China:
Captured Hong Kong
1 MGB killed near Hankow
1 MGB killed near Taiyuan
No losses here.

Pacific:
Sub sunk near Wake
No losses here.

Pearl Harbour:
6 BBs sunk.
1 FTR destroyed on ground.
Lost 2 Torp Bmb, 1 Zero, and 1 Dive Bmb.

The US reels from attacks against its Pacific Fleet in PH and against forces in the Phillipines! The pallor of smoke from sunken ships and charred bodies rises about the harbor....They Will Be Avenged!

IJN naval units near PH bombed. I-Boat near PH sunk. US loses 2 SS's and 1 Bomber.
IJN DD near Davoa Sunk. US SS lost.
Land units near Manila damaged.

GPS to China.

Road/Rail north of Rangoon and also southeast of Bhuket destroyed.

Japanese Paratrooper east of Sibu shelled by DD, then bombed by fighter and bomber - no effect whatsoever .. none .. nothing .. zip .. NOTE TO NAVAL GUNNERS AND PILOTS ... must get some target practice

 

[TechGuy]

Those gunners must have replaced shells with coconuts...

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

No attacks, just some bombardements... most of which have failed anyway!

 

[Forever Civ]

Those gunners must have replaced shells with coconuts...

Even coconuts would have split a few skulls ... my men are firing blanks - but not for long

 

[TechGuy]

This thread fell off the first page... is Botman playing?

 

[aksully]

I've emailed Botman to check on the status of the game. If he can't get to it then we'll go to Plan B but I want to give him every chance to participate. I'll update here tomorrow.

[botman]

Hi. Umm sorry but I never received any emails regarding the save.

It's cbotman AT gmail DOT com

 

[botman]

Oh bloody hell. I've just seen the save is attached to an email from 2 days ago.

Sorry guys, my mistake. That particular email was sent to all the allies and made no mention of me, so I overlooked it.

Will play right now. Again sorry for the delay. I've been waiting to get my hands on this thing for well, a couple days now!

 

[botman]

Japanese parachutes have filled the skies over northern Sumatra and central New Guinea!

In response, the De Ruyter, pride of the Dutch East Indies Fleet, unleashed her guns upon Japanese forces which have recently captured Singapore, destroying the islands coastal fortress.

The Dutch forces have hunkered down to weather the Japanese Typhoon.

One quick question, are we allowed to pillage Airfields?

Game sent to TechGuy.

 

[aksully]

Airfields can be pillaged.

Did this stall again?

 

[aksully]

I sent a email to FC to see if he did indeed recieve the save I sent him on Oct 15th!

Sully

 

[TechGuy]

So Sully, this game still moving?

 

[aksully]

Nope we are dead in the water. FCiv is not answering emails. So we'll bypass him and I'll play his turn. Go ahead TG and send me your last save and we'll get this going! Thanks!
