War in the Pacific AAR Thread: ML (Japan) vs. Leo (Allies)

6 June 1941

Ceylon
14 enemy Hurricane-IIbs swept Trincomalee, opposed by 10 Oscars. The Hurricanes came in at 30,000 feet and our Oscars were patrolling at 15,000 and 10,000 feet. I mention the altitudes because in my first campaign, my opponent eventually insisted on altitude limitations because I was sweeping at high altitudes with too much success--so in this campaign, I'm trying to see if I can come out ahead by refusing to try to win the "altitude race" and just fighting down low where I maneuver better. He won this round 3 to 2, which considering I was outnumbered, I don't think is so bad.

China
We shot down an SB-III bomber near Henyang, China, as he tries to interdict troops starting to flank Changsha. We did suffer a few squad disablements from the bombers that got through.

Burma
The focus of enemy bombers in Burma has returned to the Lashio area instead of Magwe. My priority is defending Magwe--our troops at Lashio can hold out from bombers in the mountains. Magwe's airbase and industry are far more vulnerable.

Reinforcements
SS I-33 arrives at Osaka/Kyoto
2nd Ku S-1 arrives at Yokohama/Yokosuka - restricted fighter squadron, transitioned them to Claudes and assigned to training.
