I have over a hundred 4Es in Burma. Amphib capabilities is low in the area. This is one of the few areas I can move around in without my CVs. So this is where I am moving at this time. Koniu also has a lot of troops in CBI. So lets keep them here.

I have a lot of US fighters here. Army, Navy, and Marines are also in this theater.

With him going after Australia, let him. Let him over extend his lines. Burn up his supplies fuel, HI and other stuff. The more he puts into Oz the more you can cut off and kill. People don't like give land for time but you can all give it for Jap fuel, and supplies. He has to defend all he takes. Wait and watch for weak spots then attack.

Side note. I think that people are getting use to historical settings. I think its time for a mod that moves troops around at the beginning of the war (both sides) also change some things for late war Japan. bump up some AC production for the US. The wars fought here are not historical.

From what I am seeing in the RA 6.0 mod it looks pretty good. I'd like to see a game, where both sides move troops around. IE Japan would make his/her strategy then move some troops around in the editor. Then the allied commander would move troops around at the beginning of the game. They could also tweak some units (by adding stuff or whatever) Have ships come in earlier or later depending on what the two player decide. Change the game around so the opponent doesn't know what to expect. It would take some work but I think it would be fun to play. Jap player wouldn't know what to expect when attacking in the early game and the Allied player might not know there is some extra CVs or something coming later. Have a no peaking on the other side HR.

Interesting perspective. I can't really envision a US prepared any better as far as OOB. I think congress and the European theater had FDR hog tied. I think some interesting alternatives with the British are possible. Perhaps once a scenario is chosen there could be some deeper R&D choices which would remain secret. I'd like to see the whole Chinese AO changed, from the map to the deployment to the stacking, and the combat. The Burma map is also highly lacking in my opinion. I really wish we could have a better land combat system. I would like to order delaying actions, bridge destruction, and recon by force options. Hey I'm just rambling.

My thinking goes to a better prepared America before the war starts. Nothing way out there. Japan pulled out of the Washington Naval treaty in or around 1936 I think. The writing was on the wall in 1940 about the war. So US recruits more soldiers to fill out some of he small outpost units or other units. What happened to all the obsolete AC at the beginning of the war. So maybe some more P26s or so. Maybe some ships get upgraded or actually built. same thing goes for Japan.

30th Aug 43

Carriers unknown

China
Urumchi DA goes off at a 2:1 Japs lose nothing.

Changsha
Bombed by air and now had 24 Jap LCUs knock in the hex. 7 forts with 3100 AV in the hex all 100% prepped for Changsha. Supply is ok could be better. Still not sure what he is doing here. Why is he attacking this late in the war? It will be hard for him to take this city. I can bring in more troop fairly quickly.

Burma
Troops moving to cut off Taung Gyi supply lines.

Solomons
Woodlark bombarded for nothing.

What would be really interesting, but I don't know if its possible, would be for an alternate setting scenario where basically there are 3/4 alternative setups for each side, one being chosen randomly upon loading by the computer. then the game starts and the players have to adjust...

Changsha recon by fire. Doesn't look like he has enough to take the base. I may be wrong. Wish I could find that AV adjustment thing that Alfred posted. I'll have to go through my AAR and find it.

Koniu just emailed me. He said his tracker is showing he lost 47 AC and I lost 33AC. That's about half of my planes. I think tracker is high on my loses. I only had about 75 planes on CAP. I hope he lost a lot of good pilots.

So any thoughts on the Changsha move?

Unit Supply

a unit with 100% supply has its unadjusted assault value multiplied by 1
a unit with 75% supply is multiplied by 0.8
a unit with 50% supply is multiplied by 0.6
a unit with 25% supply is multiplied by 0.4
a unit with zero supply is multiplied by 0.25

Fortification Level

fort level 0 = 1x unadjusted assault value
fort level 1 = 1.1x
fort level 2 = 1.25x
fort level 3 = 1.5x
fort level 4 = 1.75x
fort level 5 = 2x
fort level 6 = 2.25x
fort level 7 = 2.5x
fort level 8 = 2.75x
fort level 9 = 3x

The divide by 30 rule only gives you an idea of the enemy's unadjusted assault value. I'm not so certain that you have to match that estimate, which is before modifiers and the effect of the fire phase in combat, with a close estimate of your own adjusted assault value.

3rd Sep 43

Carriers unknown

China
Japs are bombing AFs around Changsha. They are also bombing Chungking. No more attacks at Changsha.

Burma
2 days of areal combat has resulted in 89 Tojos, 9 Georges, 5 Franks lost for 9 P47s and 13 P38s. Not bad. My troops have made it to the hex south of Taung Gyi. They find that a Jap ID has moved in. We're to late. I will keep troops here to thin out his lines.

We sink an xAK at Ocean island.

About it for now

And casualties are a result of firepower .. whether units retreat or not is a result of adjusted AV. It appears to me that forts and supply have some effects on firepower along with AV ...

So it is quite possible to have a huge firepower advantage but not enough adjusted AV to move the defense rearward until eventually the adjusted AV gets in one's favor. I have such a problem in Rangoon right now .. Adjusted AV is 1:2 but the IJ's superior firepower is killing off more Commonwealth than IJ lost .. eventually they will take this position.

Thats awesome DOCUP! Congratulations to you and the missus!

Is it the first one?

PS. Don�t listen to Zulu!

My girl is 11 months now and have just started walking. She started crawling when around 6-7 months and after that they are all over the place. Y

You can�t let her out of your sight for 2 seconds or she trying to climb the bookshelf or tearing down the TV. Or eating dirt from the flowerpots. Or licking the toilet brush. Or dropping stuff in the toilet. Or banging stuff against the windows. Or climbing in the dishwasher. Or eating the newspaper. Or stealing daddy's car keys and making them disappear. Or banging the powerswitch on the PS3. Or stealing dad 300 Eure headphones and putting them in the washer. The list can continue forever!

Thanks Guys. Yes, Its our first. Don't scare me Joc. Damn now I will have to hide my PS3 Joc. Might have to look you up on PS3 if I ever get back on it Joc. I hope I'm still on the forum and so are you guys when the little one gets old enough to learn about the world. I would like to have everyone share how their countries history not the crap being taught in US schools now. I would like my child to be able to talk to people from another country and learn whats out there.

Back from DC. Went on a small vacation with my parents, wife, and her parents. Had a great time.

11th Sept 43

Carriers unknown

China
Urumchi has fallen to the Japs. Koniu has started an air campaign that I can't stop right now. Right now is the correct phrase.

Burma
Ramree Island captured. Building up forts then the AF. Combat units are being stood down to repair disabled squads. Units are prepping for next battle locations. The 21st Jap ID is no more. Koniu will have to buy back and rebuild it from nothing.

Supplies are be brought in by LSTs. Northeastern Burma things are rolling here also. We push an IR and art unit back into Lashio. My units are following. Bhamo now has an ID with 2 Inf BDEs and a small tank unit in the hex. Shock attack ordered for tomorrow. I don't know the fort level but believe there is an IR, Tank rgt, art unit and a base force. I see some of the Jap units are now heading south. I want to stop and KILL KILL KILL them all.

Solomons
During the night phase we attack 3 BBs and a CA off of Gasmata. I don't know what's going on here. I am wondering if its a bombardment attack on Buna? CAP trap? Fast transport of troops or supplies? Don't know. 2 PT boat TFs are patrolling the Buna hex and one hex outside of Buna. I have several squadrons night naval attack to eat up op points. I am thinking of sending in a small DD TF also. I am currently looking to see what I have that I can throw in during the day phase. I should have enough but haven't looked at that in detail yet.

I was right on the bombardment but wrong on the base. Goodenough Is. was the target. AF and AB is plastered by the naval bombardment. Bombers continue to add to the pain during the day time. We lose 33 planes on the ground. Ships had cloud cover during the am phase then disappeared during the pm phase. I seen ships at Gasmata during the CR, now I see ships in the harbor at Gasmata. I am ordering the port to be bombed during the day and night. Hopefully I will get something. Fighters will sweep tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed DC. I make a point of visiting often. I'm only 50mi away. Hope you saw aerospace and maybe the Udvar, where I get a lot of the plane pictures I've taken. Anyways I'd would attack with both SAGs. In fact the way I'm feel'in I'd attack with the whole US Navy!

Chansha bombarded again for no real damage to either side.

Burma
Fuso eats a TT east of Port Blair. It looks like there is a bombardment TF heading for either Ramree or Akyab. I think Fuso is part of this group. PTs will go down to Ramree Is. I don't expect much from them, lots of moonlight tonite. We attacked at Bhamo and got tore up. Might have to wait for a few days. I do have 2 tank units present now.

Solomons
Moving stuff around.
