Ouch! quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 81,55 (near Pingsiang) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 57403 troops, 1307 guns, 1142 vehicles, Assault Value = 2101 Defending force 125296 troops, 1192 guns, 681 vehicles, Assault Value = 3528 Allied adjusted assault: 398 Japanese adjusted defense: 5437 Allied assault odds: 1 to 13 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 2796 casualties reported Squads: 9 destroyed, 197 disabled Non Combat: 6 destroyed, 98 disabled Engineers: 11 destroyed, 20 disabled Guns lost 28 (6 destroyed, 22 disabled) Vehicles lost 20 (1 destroyed, 19 disabled) Allied ground losses: 4120 casualties reported Squads: 52 destroyed, 965 disabled Non Combat: 8 destroyed, 134 disabled Engineers: 6 destroyed, 89 disabled Guns lost 207 (14 destroyed, 193 disabled) Vehicles lost 110 (4 destroyed, 106 disabled) Ouch, ouch and ouch. There is a real danger Erik will try and counter attack here tomorrow. Could be dicey if he does. I´m down to 1100 AV. Level 2 forts though. The 2Es will visit the stack tomorrow in case he goes for it. I underestimated how much fight this stack had left. They have suffered 400-600 casualties per day for 3 weeks now and have been completely cut off for the same amount of time. I´m going to have to send reinforcement here if I´m to remove this stack. Ouch. ------------------------ Home Island ------------------------ After 3 days of humiliation over Kagoshima we finally get the upper hand on the 15th. This Sweep saw the combat debut of the Corsair 4. Its a really nice plane with a 446MPH top speed. Sadly the replacement rate is dropped from 158 to 115 which sucks. Hopefully the better plane can make up for fewer numbers. quote:

Excellent day! ------------------------ Strategic Bombing ------------------------ The B29s take off for factories around the HI knocking out a completely unguarded Frank plant at Utsonomiya. The rest go for the Dinah NF plant and Sam factory at Tsu. Results are good but not stellar. Ki-83r Frank: 148 (-30) A7M2 Sam: 222 (-17) J2M5 Jack 145 Ki-83: 52 (+30) Ki-44 Tojo: 111 N1K2-J George: 72 Ki-100-I Tony: 67 Ki-102c Randy: 73 Ki-43-IV Oscar: 153 J7W1-Shinden: 3 Ki-46-III KAI 18 (-23) A positive result obviously means I have found a factory previously not discovered.
