March 26th 1944 Sub sinking sounds during turn suggest that an Allied sub has been sunk by air attack. Usual air attacks at Lashio. I moved an AA unit out to the stack in the jungle and am having a problem that it claims to be isolated without supply and has picked up a lot of disabled devices. We both decide to bombard at Guam: quote:
Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 11657 troops, 218 guns, 456 vehicles, Assault Value = 599 Defending force 37940 troops, 860 guns, 1294 vehicles, Assault Value = 946 Japanese ground losses: 44 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Guns lost 4 (1 destroyed, 3 disabled) Vehicles lost 10 (2 destroyed, 8 disabled) Allied ground losses: 150 casualties reported Squads: 3 destroyed, 10 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 12 (5 destroyed, 7 disabled) Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 1038 troops, 118 guns, 87 vehicles, Assault Value = 933 Defending force 25239 troops, 380 guns, 539 vehicles, Assault Value = 588 Allied ground losses: Guns lost 8 (2 destroyed, 6 disabled) Vehicles lost 1 (1 destroyed, 0 disabled) Quite a difference in results but both in my favour. E No. 24, APD T-1, SC CHa-95 commissioned. The APD is the first of the dedicated APD, I get about one a fortnight. Full speed is a bit on the slow side (22) but cruise speed a touch faster than normal (16) and they have a good capacity (400/164) so I think they will be useful for pick ups. Spotted a CV/BB task force moving South West from Ceylon. It could be heading for the Cape or be part of some attack.
