I heard sinking sounds for the torpedoed destroyer right after the attack, plus I got at least one and maybe two PFs. My little hunter killer trapped worked really well, didn't even lose an Rboat (one is damaged to 50 percent but should make port).

Another 15-20 fighters on the Deathstar downed, Yokohama at 62 percent runway damage.

Only bombardment attacks in Indochina, retreat proceeding as good as can be expected. Which is far better than I thought possible.

Using B-29s on night bombing of airfields is a criminal misuse of that airframe, IMO.



Even in these situations, with the Allies just next door?

I know I would use them to lengthen and disperse my fighter strength. Places like Harbin, Nagasaki would be destroyed (I am talking plane and engine factories).

He is a question for you AFB fanboys....I am looking to dispatch some deep subs into this area. Waste of time?





I haven't played a game this late in the calendar but unless Burma is still an active theatre, this route for supplies is kind of far from the action. Most supplies will be coming from WC USA and stocks built up at Pearl Harbour.

Depends on the scenario. If Babes or variant then it helps to keep shipping every bit of supply possible into India for use in the theaters beyond.

I have a big surprise I hope for the top task force of 8 destroyers....

Oshio survives and the fires are extinguished...she got hit yesterday by divebombers (which really paid the price in lost planes).

Tracker lets me quickly find units for packing/unpacking...a big turn time saver.

You can see the heavy artillery getting ready to load onto trains in Thailand. I believe I have made the decision to send all heavy artillery back to the Vinh line. It simply isn't mobile enough to fight on the Bangkok line.

I have yet to make up my mind how hard I try to hold the Bangkok line. Part of me says yes...but the other part fears all the open ground in my rear...I basically am a coward, so I am thinking the Vinh line while I can.

Have a few more days to figure it all out.

(Made a new double ace today, though!)

If he flew in the Navy, he would be re-assigned to TRACOM, but he is in the Army flying the best Army fighter. He has no other purpose now but to fly and fight for his Emperor.

This is the Army's new policy...since Army night fighters have no radar, the best fighter pilots are being transferred into Frank squadrons for front line defense.

While there is something to defend. This new strategy might come as a surprise to the Allies...

As I said before, sweep, sweep and more sweep. Without fighters he will be force to withdraw bombers and transports form area. Without allied bombers on you neck you will be able to concentrate force and repel his carriers too.
I can guarantee you that 200-300 Hellens can be devastating when bombing AF:9 full of B-24 :D and does not matter how many AA units he will put there. But first, kill his fighters.


Here is example what can be achieve with aggressive air tactics.

George has been the best at sweeping for me. I tried Frank early on, but only at lower altitudes and they got chewed up.

I am trying them at higher altitudes to see what will happen.

Trying a very high altitude kamikaze run with fighters...and trying to pick off some of the stray fleets.

In addition I have a few other things planned for today...

Check experience of my units, I am not moving pilots to TRACOM (it is useless in my opinion, lower exp new pilots, easier to train them). I am moving them to elite units, and only those units are used for sweeps. Do not forget put some LRCAP either, it is game of numbers. You need numbers advantage to get good result.

No night bombing. My surface ships fail to connect, so the night is pretty boring.

39 F4U-1a down, 4 F6Fs, and 1 Spitfire for 29 Georges, plus some Oscars lost making a kamikaze run on 3 destroyers (all miss), and Zekes get trashed over Tokyo....

First stage of the retreat in Indochina is going well...I will never be able to hold in the open terrain...back to the Bangkok line and then the Vinh line.




All troops moving around have played havoc with supply levels...should normalize soon.

That is half a months worth of replacements in a single day. So yes. That is good!

If he has any sense at all he has his best pilots them. Not sure how he managed to lose so many. Short of CV battles I´ve never lost so many in a single day (that I can remember). Always short in supply as you try and have as many as possible on the CVs...

Jocke just check total number. It is 70% of all Corsairs coming from replacements pools until now.

Running away in Thailand...looks good there for now. Loading tankers with fuel while I still can in SRA.

No night bombing.

Georges sweep Sapporo trading against a good CAP of Spitfires and F6Fs. I have three naval attacks launch, all fail losing 18 Frances, 18 Georges and 12 Oscars.

The Allies throw everything at closing Tokyo's runways...sweeps, single engine bombers, twin engine bombers, and four engine beasties.

Another very bloody day in the air...Tokyo is at 50% damage; Allied planes seem limitless. Wave after wave.

How large are the tri-base AFs in northern Thailand?? With amount of construction engineers the Allies have, they can be expanded PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick). I shifted my massive number of C-47s to airlift in supplies to mine.

I will cut the Chiang Mai road in three days I think...with a 30AV Naval Guard slogging thru the jungle.

I have to decide how heavily to defend Bangkok line...or just go back to Vinh line.

Good advice, I was looking at that particular route.

Thailand is incredibly difficult to defend...lots of opportunities for an encircling attack by the speedy Allies.

Turn is done and back, and hopefully we are back on track in this game.

Back to low level night bombing. This will be so much fun when done with B29s next month. Can't wait.




We did destroy 2 4E beasties...albeit an obsolete model.

but then, it is invasions Kuriles! The Allies look to solidify their line of supply.

The 7th Division lands on one island, and the 33rd lands on the other. The potent 51st Base force with 12cm guns is defending Shimushiri but fails to hit anything (does cause some landing losses).

94 Allied Combat squads destroyed, for a mere 3 destroyed for Japan. A pretty good battle thanks to the sudden appearance of the 1st Tank on the northern flank of the Allied line. Can the 1st Tank avoid getting bombed into scrap tomorrow though?

I think he wants Saigon/Cam Ranh Bay.

Singers is worth a fair number of VP; but not sure I want to contest it with 3+divisions. I am leaning to evacuating what I can, but I don't think that is the right play for the game VP wise. So I am still somewhat undecided - can't be for much longer.
