Germany - Attacking Japanese Forces - 28 Oct to 08 Dec 1941

28 Oct 1941: I intend to break through to the coast then swing north and south.

01 Nov 1941: That Japanese division has been pushed back - or maybe overrun?

The unrest is spreading but the extra divisions haven't arrived yet.

Six more days before Rommel's vanguard arrives in Singapore.

I order the Kriegsmarine to begin patrolling the Straits Of Malacca....

....and the Gulf of Thailand.

The convoys are still in the Indian Ocean.

The rescue of my captured agent is being prepared.

05 Nov 1941: Now we need to cross that river and we appear to have no opposition ahead of us at the moment.

07 Nov 1941: The Japanese appear to have sunk a merchant but not one of our troop transports.

11 Nov 1941: The 12 Panzer-Divisionen have arrived safely and I'm moving them to a port in the north of the country.

12 Nov 1941: The breakthrough makes great progress...

....and now we are swinging north and south behind the enemies defences. We have captured the port too.

My Panzer-Divisionen are being transported over the Gulf of Thailand with naval escort. Also the Abwehr has received the Naval Department upgrade.

The Airforce Department will be the next upgrade.

22 Nov 1941: Well we do have naval-superiority - no Japanese ships to be seen.

28 Nov 1941: The Japanese have lost a submarine and we a merchant ship but not in the Gulf of Thailand.

28 Nov 1941: The second convoy is now at sea.

05 Dec 1941: We appear to be encircling 4 enemy divisions in the north. To the southwest a British division appears to be in trouble.

07 Dec 1941: There are gaps in the Japanese line south of our thrust which need to be exploited. Also research has been completed for the Arado Ar 196 naval attack aircraft.

08 Dec 1941: I select the air doctrine Ground Support Integration next.

All of 1. Panzerarmee is now in Indo-Chine and travelling north.

The global situation is unchanged. The British appear to be producing nothing but aircraft!

The terrain on our front is rough but I'm pleased with the performance of our Wehrmacht without air support.
