5:00 January 25, Admiral Koga has again caught up to Admiral Reeves. Some light damage was inflicted on all of Admiral Reeve's capital ships, but nothing critical. They disengaged an hour later.

20:00 January 25, Yamamoto caught up to the crippled fleet of Admiral Halsey and delivered the killing blow:



What started as a proud American Surface Action Group has been reduced to one Heavy Cruiser and a bunch of WW1-era Destroyer Escorts. The American losses from that string of engagements is:

1 Aircraft Carrier (USS Saratoga)
4 Battleships (USS Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi and Idaho)
.. and a couple of Heavy Cruisers.

Meanwhile I took next to no casualties from a safe distance as my Aircraft Carriers pounded the enemy into nothing. Such is the power of Carrier Warfare Smile

12:00 January 27, Oh boy the American dun goofed Very Happy Remember the Amphibious American force that took Mili? Well I just stumbled across the Task Force that was covering that invasions:



Note how the entire fucking Japanese fleet (66 flotillas/ships) is there since they stumbled across my patrol of old WW1-era warships as well as Admirals Koga and Yamamoto who are pursuing Admiral Reeves. Talk about kicking the Hornet's Nest Very Happy The enemy Admiral is Admiral Upham. He commans the Aircraft Carrier the USS Ranger, as well as the Battleships USS Texas, New York, and Arkansas. All the Battleships are obsolete. Doesn't bode well for the Americans. They'll probably use the cover of night and try to slip away.

16:00 they did slip away. Doesn't matter.

GO KOGA GO. On our way to West Hawaii sea boys Very Happy

0:00 January 28. I've lost sight of Admiral Reeves off the coast of Midway Sad Doesn't matter, if he wants to hide let him! Opens the door for my boys to take a shot at Hawaii and Pearl Harbor. I'll be landing on Kauai first if I can! An invasion force is already on the way from my base at Kwajalein.

5:00 January 28, my patrol of ancient Battleships stumbled across Admiral Upham and his ancient Battleships :O Problem is he has a fairly modern Aircraft Carrier with him. Lets see what happens:



9:00 January 28, nothing really. A Japanese Light Cruiser took a hit and that's it. They both went their separate way. Not a bad show for a bunch of fucking rustbuckets.

February 1, 1942. I've decided to bypass Midway since it doesn't have a Naval Base and move straight to Hawaii and Pearl Harbor. As I said I'll be assault Kauai first, and use it as a toehold to take Pearl Harbor

23:00 February 3rd off the coast of Hawaii. Oh look, it's our dear friend Admiral Reeves:



Guess he was reassigned to patrol duty. Well surprise motherfucker. Japs everywhere Very Happy

3:00 February 4th. Poor Admiral Reeves' luck finally ran out. He lost the USS New Mexico along with a Heavy Cruiser:



I'm forcing the American hand now. They have to engage me in the next couple of weeks as I take Hawaii or risk losing their only access to the Pacific.

February 8, 1942, A day of many victories Very Happy Japanese troops have landed upon Hawaii and secured a beachhead:



Australia has meanwhile surrendered, and a puppet government has been appointed:



Nazi Australia. Lulz Very Happy Only a single American division in the North refused to surrender. No matter, I'll dead with them soon.

Meanwhile, in Burma the final British soldiers are falling. Soon I shall be able to recreate Apocalypse Now and sit upon a thrown of British skulls while surrounded by a rabid Army of Chinese peasants Very Happy

20:00 February 17, 1942. A Challenger Emerges! Very Happy

Finally Grand Admiral Nimitz from the American side makes an appearances:



He has under his command the Aircraft Carriers:
USS Lexington and USS Yorktown. He also has the Battleships USS Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, and California. He also has a bunch of Light and Heavy Cruisers in Escort, but no matter, my Destroyers are much newer than them and should be able to handle it while the Capital Ships slug it out Smile

22:00 he runs away. Pooooooooo. I could follow but I want to maintain a blockade around Hawaii while my Marines work their magic.

February 27, despite my naval blockade the Americans managed to reinforce Pearl Harbor just as I mounted my assault. The result is not good:



Looks like I might need to bring in the Marines and Special Forces to crack this nut. Hope they don't get more reinforcements in in the meantime.

March 6, off the Coast of New Zealand. Seems our old friend Admiral Ghormly was selected to cover the invasion of New Zealand. I just crushed it with my Marines, and the fleet that was covering my Marines found Ghormly:



His fleet is still crippled when it engaged Yamamoto and Koga. My commanding Admiral is Admiral Nagano with 6 aging Battleships and an Escort Carrier under his command. Should be more than enough to annihilate Ghormly's crippled fleet.

...

1 hour later, bastard ran away. Goddamn Americans, I want to KILL YOU. SO PLEASE STOP MOVING, YOU'RE MAKING THIS HARD.

Meanwhile, on a side note, my invasion of Pearl Harbor failed. Special Forces and Marines are en rout from Australia, will arrive in one week. Once they're rested we'll roll again.
