AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 07/06/43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Port Moresby at 53,91 Japanese Ships SS RO-64, hits 1 Allied Ships DD Nestor DD Griffin DD Foxhound DD Van Galen DD Arunta DD Perkins dejavus... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Port Moresby at 53,91 Japanese Ships SS RO-64, hits 4, on fire Allied Ships DD Nestor DD Griffin DD Foxhound ouch, this time the DDs actually hit my sub... heading for Rabaul with 55 flt damage... a day without mine hits (3000+ mines resulted in two mine hits during the invasion and that´s it) and no sub attacks... another succesful resupply mission of the Allied... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Colombo , at 14,24 Japanese aircraft A6M3a Zero x 48 Ki-49 Helen x 206 Ki-46-II Dinah x 6 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-49 Helen: 2 destroyed, 16 damaged Allied Ships CA Suffolk, Bomb hits 5, on fire, heavy damage Allied ground losses: 6 casualties reported Port hits 17 Port fuel hits 2 Port supply hits 8 Aircraft Attacking: 11 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 11000 feet another five hits on the heavy cruiser (one was a non penetrating belt hit) and guess what, the cruiser was reported sunk at the end of the turn. Didn´t exactly count the total non penetrating belt hits but all in all, the cruiser took five Type 91 torp hits and another three dozen 250kg bomb hits until it finally succumbed. No idea how much of the hits were either FOW of have been very unlucky die rolls, this goes especially for the torps. I was in the process of flying in another 3 sentais of Helens to Madras to attack the cruiser, they already arrived at Rangoon. I will move out most of the bombers now again... every month that passes sees India becoming more and more safe as my forts are growing as well as my troop strenght. India is an important area for me as there are a lot of resources and also hundreds of HI. Without a major amphib operation Miller can´t do anything on the subcontinent and I´m not sure if such an operation is worth it as it would take a hell a lot of time and material. I guess the Indian front won´t be getting rolling within the next 6-12 months. By then (12 months) I expect the Russian campaign to be over and lots of divisions will garrison the coast from Hong Kong to Bombay. From the actual point of view it will get really hard for the Allied to get a foothold on the continent and to make progress there. IMO, the only real possibility for Miller is an island hopping campaign or the move up through New Guinea trying to get into the SRA. This time Suffolk really is sunk... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Manila , at 43,52 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 8 J1N1-S Irving x 27 A6M3a Zero x 74 B5N Kate x 8 G3M Nell x 36 G4M1 Betty x 53 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 292 Ki-45 KAIb Nick x 35 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 25 casualties reported Airbase hits 9 Airbase supply hits 5 Runway hits 189 Port hits 3 Aircraft Attacking: 32 x Ki-44-IIb Tojo bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luganville , at 72,107 Allied aircraft Beaufighter VIF x 18 Beaufighter VIC x 7 Beaufighter Mk 21 x 13 No Allied losses Runway hits 19 Aircraft Attacking: 6 x Beaufighter VIF bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Wallis Island , at 93,107 Allied aircraft Blenheim IV x 28 Wellington III x 72 Liberator VI x 69 Allied aircraft losses Wellington III: 1 damaged Liberator VI: 1 damaged Japanese ground losses: 52 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Port hits 2 Port supply hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 6 x Liberator VI bombing at 13000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chita , at 62,15 Allied aircraft B-25J Mitchell x 12 Allied aircraft losses B-25J Mitchell: 3 damaged Japanese ground losses: 24 casualties reported Airbase hits 1 Runway hits 2 Aircraft Attacking: 3 x B-25J Mitchell bombing at 12000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 6th Mongolian Cavalry Division, at 55,12 Allied aircraft Yak-9D x 9 IL-2 Shturmovik x 62 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 110 casualties reported Aircraft Attacking: 21 x IL-2 Shturmovik bombing at 2000 feet deliberate attack of the two Mongolian Cav divs tomorrow... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luganville , at 72,107 Allied aircraft SBD Dauntless x 62 TBF Avenger x 15 Avenger I x 19 PBY Catalina x 1 Kittyhawk I x 15 No Allied losses Airbase hits 1 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 37 Aircraft Attacking: 9 x TBF Avenger bombing at 10000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luganville , at 72,107 Allied aircraft Wellington III x 7 B-25J Mitchell x 62 No Allied losses Airbase hits 2 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 49 Aircraft Attacking: 4 x Wellington III bombing at 10000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Borzya Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 228320 troops, 1785 guns, 3276 vehicles, Assault Value = 4789 Defending force 77592 troops, 605 guns, 26 vehicles, Assault Value = 1365 Japanese max assault: 4337 - adjusted assault: 3396 Allied max defense: 1265 - adjusted defense: 1244 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 6) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 5 Japanese ground losses: 5139 casualties reported Guns lost 164 Vehicles lost 57 Allied ground losses: 2402 casualties reported Guns lost 63 Vehicles lost 3 we´re really making progress here. Not far from a 3:1 and acceptable losses within our attacking divisions. Another two deliberate attacks should do the trick, if we get some bad die rolls, then probably a third attack is needed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 67,32 Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 22459 troops, 256 guns, 6 vehicles, Assault Value = 481 Defending force 5641 troops, 60 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 108 Japanese ground losses: 66 casualties reported Guns lost 12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 15866 troops, 182 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1828 Defending force 282992 troops, 1449 guns, 5 vehicles, Assault Value = 6747 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kweiyang Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 22653 troops, 268 guns, 7 vehicles, Assault Value = 2444 Defending force 166578 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 4823 Allied ground losses: 12 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Wyndham Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 8286 troops, 282 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 4182 Defending force 154204 troops, 1099 guns, 425 vehicles, Assault Value = 3104 Allied ground losses: 309 casualties reported Vehicles lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Karachi Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 100332 troops, 821 guns, 11 vehicles, Assault Value = 2701 Defending force 79650 troops, 712 guns, 15 vehicles, Assault Value = 1574 Japanese ground losses: 412 casualties reported Guns lost 17 Vehicles lost 1 Allied ground losses: 8 casualties reported Guns lost 1
