#3478879 - 12/21/11 09:31 PM Re: WITP:AE A Day That Will Live In Infamy [Re: theox]
theox Junior Member Registered: 10/30/10 Posts: 86	March 1, 1942: Bring me my Arrows of Desire.... The Japanese has progressed into the Dutch East Indies (DEI) and are mopping up the little Dutch resistance remaining. Several carrier groups are hammering the island of Java from all angles and without relief. I am happy that they have decided to expend their effort in the DEI (which is strategically sound from a resources POV) rather than in the Central Pacific. The Japanese have overrun Singapore as of February 10, and have turned an eye towards Burma. The Philippines will not last much longer. Defensive preparation continues in the barrier islands of Pago Pago, Palmyra, and Midway. CVs Lexington and Saratoga enter dry dock for incremental upgrades in March, with Yorktown and Enterprise upgrading in April. This will leave us shorthanded in force projection power for the next few months. Small scale operations are the rule of the day. We hope the IJN feels the same. Significant Events: 1) Singapore. Fell on the 10th of February. 2) Port Moresby seaborne invasion on Feb 14. The IJN/A managed to land a short division at Port Moresby. TF 11.1, an AUS/USN mix of CA and DD managed to defeat the surface fleet (now being called the St. Valentine's Day Massacre amongst the fleet), while the A-24 Banshees based in PM dealt heavy damage to another surface action group (SAG) in the area. PM has withstood the initial assault, and we managed to reinforce them with the 19th AUS Brigade two weeks later. The situation is fluid, but we believe PM will hold unless the IJ forces are reinforced and resupplied. Defeating such a large force will bolster morale and prove that we can fight on the ground. 3) Battle of Canton Island. Our TF 88.1 CV group located and destroyed 1 CA, 2 CLs, and 2 DDs in a surface action group (SAG) presumably looking to interdict our supply line. The IJN is turned away from CenPac once again. 4) Operation Burning Bow. Both BB groups bombarded their targets and destroyed several small transport ships in harbor at Canton and Baker islands. They returned without incident. Future Plans: US Army forces are still preparing for an assault on Canton Island. The "go" date for this operation has been set for March 30. Auxiliary and support units are being assembled. The 6th and 7th AUS Divisions will arrive within the next two months from the Middle East. Once in AUS, they will begin preparations for a counter-stroke in New Guinea. The 6th is en route and should arrive this month, while the 7th remains in Aden awaiting the next transport convoy. Losses: Note the 2 IJN CVLs lost to mines. We believe these occurred at Singapore(an attempted seaborne attack) and at Midway. The decision to mine Midway appears to have paid dividends.

Wheels Well, you only get them for a few months before they get redeployed so I always toss them in the mix. Their accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, but they do get lucky! My surface group I patrol out of Townsville in NE AUS has really been the lifesaver for Port Moresby.
