Ok guys, another chapter of history of the western civilization has begun to be written: The Struggle for life of Sadogashima!
Rader started to send in in midget subs and his motor torpedo boats (i'm sure the big boys will pay a visit anytime soon), followed by hundreds of 3rd and 4th generation fighters sweeping the skies and by 200 Helens that bombed the base merciless.
I hadn't abbandoned the idea of defending the waters and the skies around and above my outpost.
My DDs managed somehow to keep the motor boats and the midgets at bay (a part from a lonely LSI that has been sunk while delivering a seabee battallion).
The day was characterized by the fourtyeight australian aces who did wonders against Shidens, KI-83 (gosh these are vastly superior to anything i have) and KI-84-Rs...
We achieved a solid 3-1 in our favour (the australian were helped in the effort by 60 Corsairs on LRCAP which were fragments from the carrier battle...) and the base is still open, despite being very damaged.
I need more engineers there. Was a mistake of mine not to send enough engineers...
However we delivered some more 40k supplies today...and the base now has 68k supplies... it will be a race for life... the kind of battleground that i prefer.
Our 2 Australian Squadrons lost 2 pilots and 10 got wounded...but they surely brought with them to hell a lot more japanese fanatic pilots.
His kamikaze managed to slip through at 40 feet and sunk a CL (an old one) and several AKAs... but we're still there, fighting!
NO FEAR!
we're gonna see some very interesting turns from now on...
Now i will give the ozzies a break and send them back to Hakodate to rest and refit. They will be substituted by P-38s and P-47s on LRCAP duties. We're also trying to open an air bridge with 700 transport planes and a train of barges is already active.
The APDs will try to do their own part and several ASW TFs and DD Divisions will be sent to those dangerous waters.
This will be their highest hour!
Man...i love this game!
PS: Rader has doubts about the night bombing effects. I gotta say that the results we achieved (reported by Rader himself) are vastly superior to what we have seen last night during our test runs (during our conference call we spent 1 hour testing the night bombing effects against manpower)...don't know what to say sincerly....gotta think about it...
