ORIGINAL: Canoerebel I had the same thing happen in my game with Q-Ball - paratroops and armor caught, isolated and destroyed quite a few units. I managed to extract a good bit, though. You're going to experience the "bad morale leads to a feeling of hopelessness leads to bad decisions which reinforce the hopelessness" scenario if you are a normal human being and relatively new to AE. What you need to do is have a cleansing ceremony. Pretend like the old GreyJoy that got you into this mess has been removed from command. A new GreyJoy has assumed command. He knows he's in trouble but he'x excited by the challenge of making the best of it. Your in a fix, but you need to look at this fresh in order to configure your best defense. One other thing - you will never be pushed this badly again. You're learning alot and you will benefit immensely. So soldier on! You're right CR: The old, tired and superb Admiral GreyJoy has finally been fired. Now we need a NEW MAN. Ok...another bad turn. And this time i got only myself to blame (not that before i had someone else ! :-) ) AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Apr 12, 13 42 My subs again missed twice against his oilers TF...or better...hits with no explosion...which is being a constant of this match so far Then i forgot to give the orders to the last RN SCTFs from Cape Town...i don't know how i forgot this one but i did...uffff ...it's like a cliff and i'm falling down and down and down... Lost a CL and a DD for nothing...i sent them to a certain death... The only good thing is that the little surprise at Addu Atoll paid the price...he landed 3 naval guard units that have been smashed by my defences...but i already know the story...he's now coming with his nuclear BBs...will nuke the place and will land a couple of divisions that will vaporize everything...well...i guess at least this sacrifice will make me gain few more days... In China he finally attacked Chengtu...and forts are already falling... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chengtu (75,41) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 101284 troops, 1049 guns, 409 vehicles, Assault Value = 3711 Defending force 75981 troops, 685 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 2294 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 3 Japanese adjusted assault: 3287 Allied adjusted defense: 4521 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 3) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), forts(+), leaders(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 6019 casualties reported Squads: 48 destroyed, 409 disabled Non Combat: 31 destroyed, 366 disabled Engineers: 4 destroyed, 62 disabled Vehicles lost 96 (28 destroyed, 68 disabled) Allied ground losses: 3547 casualties reported Squads: 16 destroyed, 195 disabled Non Combat: 36 destroyed, 253 disabled Engineers: 4 destroyed, 17 disabled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Diego Garcia at 11,62, Range 2,000 Yards Japanese Ships BB Nagato, Shell hits 2 BB Ise BB Hyuga CA Chikuma CA Nachi, Shell hits 2 CL Kitakami CL Oi DD Tokitsukaze DD Hagikaze DD Shiratsuyu DD Shigure DD Umikaze DD Suzukaze DD Hatsuharu DD Nenohi DD Hatsushima DD Tadeshiwa DD Katsutade Allied Ships CL Newcastle, Shell hits 5, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Pakenham, Shell hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Invasion action off Addu (16,52) Defensive Guns engage approaching landing force 43 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.
