Scenario 1 - Roccia vs Gamma (Alleati) - NO GAMMA!!!

Turno 98 - 13 Marzo 42

Java
Questa volta i bombardieri jap hanno attaccato la base di Kalidjati: ingenti i danni e altri preziosi aerei persi al suolo!

Nuova Guinea
Replica per i miei aerei di base a Port Moresby: altre navi jap colpite metre scaricavano uomini e rifornimenti. Strano che la CAP nemica non si sia ancora vista.
Ad ogni modo, PM si sta rivelando una preziosa base da cui impegnare i jap: spero di riuscire a difenderla nei prossimi mesi!

Turno 99 - 14 Marzo 42

Java
Anche oggi ho dato fondo a tutti i caccia disponibili nel nord dell'isola per difendere i cieli di Batavia ma non c'è storia. Anche i P-40E non possono nulla se i piloti sono inesperti.


Cina
Per fortuna sono riuscito a rinforzare la città di Kiuchuan prima dell'arrivo dei japs: il loro attacco è stato respinto!

La mia nave è affondata poco dopo.


Java
Una flotta da battaglia che includeva gli incrociatori pesanti Ashigara, Haguro, Myokosi e Nachi si è presentata al largo di Soerabaja. A più riprese tutti gli aerei disponibili nel nord dell'isola si sono gettati sulle navi nemiche senza incontrare CAP: ma nonostante questo è stato un massacro, nessuna bomba a segno e molti gli aerei persi a causa della pesante contraerea...comincio a pensare che gli aerei olandesi siano del tutto inutili!!!



Basi minori
Cadono Gorontalo e Babo

 

Turno 102 - 17 Marzo 42

Filippine
Finalmente Gamma si è deciso ad entrare a Bataan dopo un mese di bombardamenti aerei incessanti: il rapporto di forze sembra a prima vista a mio favore ma la base oramai è senza supplies da giorni. Vedremo quanto potrò resistere: una cosa è certa, più resisto e più Gamma dovrà impegnare questa sua armata nelle Filippine concedendomi tempo prezioso nel Pacifico.

Sbarco a sorpresa a Buitenzorg da parte dei jap: la base è indifesa anche perchè ho radunato tutte le truppe a Batavia per sfruttare il bonus terreno quindi cadrà già domani. Alcuni aerei olandesi si sono alzati in volo per colpire i trasporti ma nessuna bomba è andata a segno anche a causa della presenza questa volta di caccia nemici.

Da segnalare anche l'ottima tattica utilizzata da Gamma: ieri aveva impegnato la mia aviazione a sud creando un diversivo. Avevo quindi lasciato a sud la maggior parte dei bombardieri, che non hanno potuto intervenire a nord causa il loro raggio limitato...anche se dubito che avessero fatto qualche centro in ogni caso visto le loro performance !

Ancora una volta i bombardieri olandesi hanno cercato di colpire le navi avversarie ma AA e CAP nemiche hanno decimato le mie file: in pratica sto perdendo l'aviazione olandese senza ottenere un solo successo

Oggi ho teso una trappola ai bombardieri jap che bombardano indisturbati le mie basi: ho collocato una squadriglia delle Tigri Volanti a Sian ed hanno intercettato dei Sally che sono arrivati sulla città senza scorta. E' stata una strage

Oggi sopra i cieli di Soerabaja i P-40E e gli Hurricane IIb hanno fatto vedere i sorci verdi ai Jap. Molti gli Zero abbattuti: purtroppo i miei caccia non erano in numero sufficiente per arrivare ai bombardieri ma almeno sono riuscito a far male nonostante fossi in netta minoranza! Spero sia un buon segnale per il futuro, sopratutto per i cieli in India dove gli Hurricane sono i migliori caccia di cui disponga.

A questo punto per alleggerire il fronte della Cina sarò costretto ad impegnare le truppe inglesi che sto radunando in India prima del previsto in direzione Burma: il rischio è che le truppe jap dopo aver preso Lashio possano marciare verso Paoshan, dove sto cercando di aumentare i forts e radunare truppe cinesi (ad oggi solo 400 AV). Sto sviluppando Kalenyo che sarà la mia più importante base operativa per la RAF nella regione.
A Ledo intanto sto impegnando tutti gli aerei da trasporto disponibili per portare quante più supplies possibili in Cina, ma sono una goccia nel mare!

A Soerabaja questa volta l'aviazione Jap ha pagato pegno. Purtroppo i miei caccia efficienti sono troppo pochi e la base è stata comunque colpita pesantemente. Il vero risultato positivo secondo me è la perdita di piloti da caccia esperti da parte dei jap.

Buona l'esperienza fatta dai B17 spostati ad inizio scenario dalle Filippine. Stanno impegnando giorno dopo giorno i jap e risultano molto spesso immuni agli attacchi degli Oscar nemici. Quasi sempre raggiungono l'obbiettivo: certamente i danni sono punture di spillo visto l'esiguo numero di cui posso disporre ma, come oggi, possono procurare dei fastidi a Gamma.

Ultimi combattimenti aerei nei cieli di Java: ho deciso di provare ad usare tutti i bombardieri olandesi in un sol giorno (senza protezione dei caccia che ormai non esistono più) per cercare di colpire almeno qualche nave jap. E' stata una strage sia per la CAP nemica sia per la AA. Nessuna nave è stata colpita.
