Status: offline 		My carriers are slowly repairing it takes a LOT of time.

Supplies are getting tight in Malaya I am down to 550,000 tonnes which is low.

My plan is after I take Hue, Hainan or Hanoi I will await a heavy convoy fought through from the US West Coast.

I have 200 AK's in or around Singapore the plan is to fight them back past the PI escorted by a few carriers.

These can then resupply Malaya

I have a TF at sea with the best part of 3 US Divisions off th esouth coast of SEA.

The current plan is to land 3 Divisions in echelon.

1st USMC Div will land north of Hue
3rd USMC Div will land south of Hue
24th US Div and other troops will land directly onto Hue.
elements of 11th para Div will land at same time.

This allied with heavy Superfort strikes will render the reinforcement of Hue problematic for the Japanese.

At the same time the reinforced 3rd Aus Div Task Force (2 extra Art Regts and 4 Aus Armoured Regts in support) will drive on Hue from Ubon.

If the linkup occurs I will secure a 1(5) AF which will place Superforts in range of the HI for the first time.

It is a converging attack desinged to sdtop rapid intervention by Japanese forces.

A further 2 Inf Divs that have been recovering at bankok will begin moving to Ubon tomorrow.

After these operations are complete all AK's will move in massive escorted convoys to the West Coast as I will need to replenish supplies in Malaya for the next phase.

EAST Theatre.

I am awaiting carriers repairing I think I need at least 10 operational fleet carriers before this can be considered

Two things regarding this plan:
1st: You can't land in Hue as it has no proper sea access. You might have to enable the hexside info to see that its right border is an unaccessible piece of coast.
2nd: I remember discussions in the long forgotten past (sometimes in the first year after release, I think) considering landing outside of bases a kind of 'gamey' - I am not sure what the status on this is today and in this game, just wanted to mention it. (Went along the line of not being able to properly defend all the beaches (also including mines...)... )

Status: offline 		Thanks re 1 only one word for it BUGGER thanks for the save looks like I need to think again !!!

2. Its only gamey if your opponent doesnt do it to you 1st PZB did it at Kavieng so I view it as free to do now as I informed him after he did it.

I never land in non base hexes 1st but if an opponent does it ot me as Pauk did at Perth or PZB at kavieng then all bets are off !!!!

Status: offline 		Hmmmmm the more I think on this Hainan is starting to look like a better target.

Re the East all forces are prepping and gathering at Pearl and shipping is getting ready I will commence loading as soon as 5th USMC Div arrives from the west coast (c 20 days)

So all my ships have 20 days to finish repairs.

Carriers and Fast BB's can take 40 days as they will catch up with the rest of the fleet after it sails.

I have moved 2 B29 Groups to Attu for Long Range Night Bombing of Jap industry it will be a pin **** but better than nothing.

Hue is still the target I cannot land on the hex so I will land above and below and will attempt to drive through from Ubon as well.

I will commence loading for the invasion of HI in about 16 days

Time is pressing and I need to move and move fast.

My Achilles heel in SEA is supplies I have set a redline at 300,000 tonnes when my stockpiles dorp to this level offensive ops will cease and 4E bombers withdrawn until I can fight another convoy through.

I want Hue before this happens as a level 8 Airbase in range of the HI is invaluble

Just so you know using 2 x B29 BG on night attack will do nothing against his industry.

I've tested this with 4 x B29 BG and at nighg they can hardly hit a thing. With those numbers you may be able to get a few manpower hits for minor fires but it won't cause any real damage.

Status: offline 		You may at least want to replace the FM-2s with the earlier marks of F4Fs. I know irl that the FM-2s were F4Fs modified to operate on CVEs, but most of the changes made seem to have made the aircraft lighter and faster. Why the decreased ratings for speed and mnvr compared to the earlier marks? Additionally, has anyone ever seen evidence of increased op losses when the older marks operated off of CVEs?

Although my only experience night bombing Japan industry is vs. the AI, I would agree w/ Speedy that it's pointless w/ only 2 groups other than to give him something else to think about and/or make him rearrange his nightfighters for no real reason.

8 B29 Groups Operating from Wake (2 are in transit to Hue)
6 B29 Groups Operating from Hue (although stood down awaiting supplies at present).
1 B29 Group Operating from Attu

In total 15 Bomb Groups of the 11th and 20th Air Forces will bombard Japanese industry to pulp.

So far 11th AF has launched 1 daring daylight raid on Tokyo supported by Carrier Fighters
2 Night Raids on Tokyo/Hakodate and 1 Day raid on Hakodate (at 1,000 feet which put morale in the toilet !!!!)

They are now all stood down as morale and readiness are so low after my 1,000 foot gaffe

For a night raid out of 150 a/c I am lucky to sortie 50
Most raids from Attu have been 8 - 12 planes so c 12 planes per Bomb Group or 25% sortie for a night raid.

My targets have been Shinden Factories, Armament Factories, Zero, Grace, HI I am spreading it about because each damage point costs 1,000 to repair so I want multiple hits on industry in a base as it sucks supply.

i.e. in Tokyo if I hit 6 different targets then next day 6,000 tonnes of supply are consumed if I hit 1 target hard only 1,000 are used.

This is going to be a long battle but we will be victorious !!!

If PzB has set them to repair! While I would most certainly repair a Shinden factory (I would also guard it heavily ) I wouldn´t repair a HI or arm factory at that time of the game... Of course it also depends on the supply level. Don´t know how it looks like in stock that late in the game. Perhaps he has 6.000.000 supplies so it wouldn´t hurt him to repair them. And when it´s Shinden time your life will be harder anyway! Shinden factories should be your no 1 worry IMO! When I see tests of rookie pilots in Shindens shooting down veteran pilots in Corsairs at 2 or 3:1 then this will boost PzB ability on the defense enormously. Will try the search function if I can find the tests (doubt it though.. ).

I would target every Shinden factory that is in range. Even if you take losses, destroying the factories NOW will result in far fewer losses later IMO.

Status: offline 		What about Reppu is it any good ?

I have been trying not to specifically target Shinden factories as its a tad gamey to attack just one target soley due to perfect intel so I attacked Oscar and Grace factories as well but if they are that good......

I am only producing 144 Hellcats and 100 Corsairs a month hell even my Wildcat pool is below 500 frames.

Ummm errr now you have me worried I think I need to land and get a base ASAP my timetable has just been accelerated

My Hellcat pool is still empty and the F4U1D has less than 100 in it.....

Sea Fury at least would eat Shindens and Reppus for breakfast and its appearance in numbers is no more incredible than Shinden and Reppus arriving....
