Combat Report June 24, 1942 I have already shown Shimakaze so don't need to do more there. India Karachi We now know what is in Karachi. The answer is a CRAPLOAD of troops! Total Assault Value about 2,900. Yikes. Recommend our 'Expedition Force' that just entered the hex RUN and fallback while we fortify Malir. Should also note that the Royal Navy appeared this turn in the form of the 3 R-Class BB, 4 CL, and 5 DD. They bombarded our troops in the hex. Nice to know they are there and vulnerable to an attack. We have 7 CVs (2 Junyo, 1 CVL, 4 CVE) sitting in Singapore at the moment ready to go! Bombay The Allies have 2,300 AV present here and so I guess this is the choice. We have a tad over 3,000 AV present. The AF is staying damaged at about 70% and we now command the seas around the city. Ceylon Time to take out this thorn behind us. Brad has nicely destroyed about 12 or so Beauforts at Trincomalee and has troops prepping for an assault landing there fairly soon. Brad can you explain your plans here? Burma 36,29 The British troops that had been driven into this hex when they retreated from Myitkyina are inadvertently pushed back tot he hex west of Tsunyang (Sp?). A TK Regiment puched back SEVEN units with a 4-1 attack! That says something... 35,29 These Chinese heroes continue to hold though Brad has been resting our boys a bit. The area is hit by by about 80-90 planes a day. North Pacific Cold Bay This is the last base we will take and it falls this day. Will re-organize the units now and set-up the long-term defence of these islands. SS Operations I-154 hits an AK moving towards the Aden channel with a Torp I-6 Battle Surfaces against an AK and puts a pair of TT as well as 4 Shells into it. Ro-64 hits an AK with 1 Torp in the Gulf of Alaska Bombay Thoughts We really need to get our Assault Value up if we are to make a serious attempt at grabbing this urban center. We have about 3,000 available now in the hex. This is what we might add to it: (In India) 2 Inf Div, several Hv Gun Reg, and 2 Brigade---1,500 AV (In Burma) 3 Brigades, 5 Artillery units, and an Eng Reg---1,000 AV (In Korea) 1 Inf Div (will buy it tomorrow)---450 AV (Once Ceylon Falls) Inf Div, Inf Brig, and several other units---600 AV This totals up to about 3,600 We can realistically double the assault power present in the hex within a month of time. While waiting for that we can continue bombing the place and get ready for BB Bombardments. There should be 4-5,000 pieces of Artillery (nearly 2,000 present now) when everything is in place. Have no idea if this will even make a dent but we shall see.... What do readers think? Brad--Your thoughts???
