Week 31 & 32 1940: Jap is trying to rebuild their navy again. The 1st 2 Yamatos have been completed Week 32. The British have been assaulting Okinawa for 3 Weeks and now that my BBs are repaired I will Sortie to join the Brit defending againest the Jap navy. There has been several minor assaults on Shanghai which continues to be reinforced by shifting units in China. I have been producing F4Fs, P-39s and B-25s and I am now transferring them to Asia. The Air "ferries" should have an effective force in Asia by Week 35. Lanchow and Ansi have fallen to the Jap. The Brits have captured Sardinia so my plans for an invasion there have been cancelled. I am meeting in Havana to send more BBs to the Pacific.
In Europe: Blitzkrieg again! Namur, Antwerp, Lille, and Verdun have fallen in the last 2 weeks. The Russian Front must have been denuded while the French did not alter their plans attacking Stuttgart(?) (city level reduced to 1.)
In Africa: Italy loses Bisciera.
Week 33 to Week 37 1940: Continuing war of attrition in the Pacific. I have increased my production of fighters because I am losing them at the rate of 5 to 2. My new bombers and SBDs, however, are destroying any ships that get past the British Navy.
The Bombers are also destroying an average of 7 planes on the ground for a loss of 1 due to all types of AA. I feel that they are overall losing about the same number of planes per turn as I am. Bombers are arriving every Turn and 32 Fighters are arriving every 4 Turns. I now have 24 BBs, 12 CVs 17 Transports but about the same number of CAs, CLs, SSs and DDs as I have only replaced losses to keep at least 50% of my cities on Wealth.
DARK WEEK (36) for the Allies:
Jap sortie 6 Yamatos, 9 CAs, etc. and destroy the ships (including 4 KGV and Transports) assaulting Okinawa While a Transport surprises us and successfully invades Formosa and takes Taipei which the Brits held very lightly! I must consider giving the Brits a city in asia so that they can have a front base to stage attacks and repair Units. I will consider Amoy. My largest convoy to date (8 Transports with 32 Units including Marines and Tanks) will land in China on week 39. I hope to start my next offensive week 40 to take Nanking, Haichow and Tsingtao and sortie the next units from Los Angeles. France may fall soon so I may finally have to keep more naval units in the Atlantic! I am going to add a base in the Faeroe Islands when my Atlantic Transport returns from the Azores.
In Europe: Blitzkrieg continues. After 3 weeks of stalemate, the Nazis take Strasbourg and Lyon. The USSR signs a peace treaty with the Allies but does not declare war on anyone. The Battle for Anatolia continues.
In Africa: No Change. Italy still holds Addis Abeba.
Week 37 1940: I conquered Formosa and placed 5 Land Units to guard it! The usual Fighter attrition but this time I did not lose any Fignters (just luck) my bombers sink 3 out of the 4 remaining and very heavily damaged Yamatos but spot another 2 new ones on their way South from the Sea of Japan. I have to sortie my old BBs TF from Ningpo to intercept them if I cannot turn them with Bombers next turn. My 9 new BBs have just come through the Panama Canal and are on there way to the Far East.
Week 38 to Week 42: USA has successfully conquered Nanking, Haichow and Tsingtao. Brits have taken Okinawa. The Jap is on the retreat! The Yamatos are very difficult to sink with my bombers alone. To stop the 2 Yamatos I needed all my bombers and I was unable to sink the second one. It retreated the following week (39). 11 KGVs, 6 CVs, 25 CLs etc. attacking Okinawa and Southern Japan. The new strategy is to use the 2 CVs attached to the BBs with 8 SBDs to soften up the Yamatos (with any other Bombers in range) and then let the British KGVs Battle the damaged ships if they keep coming. The British are still losing about 3 to 2 in any case. I will look to attack their supply of native oil to see if that stops the production of Yamatos.
Su-Chou fell to the Jap? They have over 200 inf and seem to be following a pattern regardless of other events. There were only 3 or 4 land units in each city when I attacked.
I will sortie a Carrier Strike force which will include 10 CVs to commence the assault on the Jap Islands!
The attacks should commence at the beginning of 1941. I will look to conquer a city in asia with a source of iron to build better units in Asian cities.
In Europe: No Cities have changed hands. USSR and Turkey sign a peace agreement - Turkey has just one remaining city.
In Africa: Italy loses Addis Abeba its last city in Africa Week 39.
