He probably going to move away anything of value (engineers, maybe some high experience units or such) and leave other expendable units behind to slow you down...

He did sortie to Kuching in the end. Ouch. Guess he'll retreat with those those to singapore though...

Also, impressive strike at Samah. Fog of war aside, it will take a few days for those planes to recover

OK!

I'm pretty sure that recon is showing many more troops than the SigInt compilation showed. This is one of those cases where he will be able to move in pretty much whatever is around right up to the last minute, so recon gets stale very quickly SigInt is even less useful.

A Div and a Bde will cross the river to join the 17th Indian Div near Chiang Mai, and their crossing probably will trigger a shock attack. One Imperial unit has made contact with our defensive position on the road to Burma. At Prachuap Khiri Khan the divisions will switch off again and the 25th will attack while the 18th rests.

Our B-29 did very well at Singapore going by the combat reports, but the day's plane losses show 8 lost air to air, 1 to flak, and 2 to ops. The combat reports showed 2 lost to flak and that is all, so I think we had a sync bug. At any rate, many hits on warships were obtained (provided the combat reports are accurate enough). See below. Predictably, the P-38 sweeps followed the bombers, perhaps to make sure nobody could track them!

A decent start at Vinh.

The 2/4th Armoured Regiment and 2/5th Armoured Regiment will continue to attack and the 1st Medium Regiment and 2nd Medium Regiment will take up bombardment in support. The Bdes need to rest. The USA para Rgt will wait until other infantry is ready to attack. Meanwhile, to the NW both divisions and all three armored units have converged on the defenders and will attack tomorrow. They are facing 2 units will well over 12,000 troops, so the position has been reinforced.

Kuching capitulated so the Bde will start off through the jungle. We did lose that APA that suffered raging fires. Next attack at Dili will be tomorrow.

Status: offline 		I've had sync bugs before but never looked into the instances in great detail. I don't know if they totally change all combats or just some, or one, or what. I know the sync bug hit at least one of the Singapore port strikes because they were the only B-29 missions for the day and my combat report did not show any lost air to air. But I figure with the various strikes that went in they had to get some hits in either alternate universe!

All 500 pounders so the strike will serve to dampen the enthusiasm of any ship they got.

Vinh is a little hard to analyze because I don't know how many units are moving or which ones. I am happy with the results. The objective of attacking now instead of waiting for the other infantry units just leaving Hue is to slow down the withdrawal as much as possible. Combat comes after movement so I know it won't affect the current turn's movement, but increasing disruption and fatigue and reducing morale does slow down units, so I'm just throwing things at them.

Here are the strikes. I misquoted earlier - one B-29 lost air to air and one to flak (not two to flak).

Yeah. He's got a bunch of ships at both Hong Kong and Canton, possibly as bait for the flying circus boys he's got there. Also noticed he moved a bunch of SSX from Hong Kong to Kiungshan. Might be worth a raid to preempt them but the situation at Vinh is taking priority.

What altitudes did you have set? I haven't gone so far as to explicitly test it, but I seem to get much better coordination results (sweeps flying before bombers) when I bring my fighters down in altitude (usually 16k'-20k'). Sometimes they come in late, but it seems that many more come in first when I do this.

coordination was probably a bad term on my part. I was referring to the "desire"(?) that sweeps arrive first. As I said, I've moved my fighters down to the 16k'-20k' and it seems that the sweeps arrive ahead of the bombers far more often (though not always)

Supply can now flow through Prachuap Khiri Khan as the collapse of enemy resistance has opened up the last blocking hex side. All three units across the river near Chiang Mai need to recover; probably two days before some of them commence attacking. Meanwhile other units are drawing the pocket tighter. Discontinuing air search out of Socotra.

The Imperials held NW of Vinh despite very heavy casualties. Our armour in Vinh suffered many damaged tanks to keep the pressure on.

Heavy CAP over the battle hex NW of Vinh turned back a Judy strike. One of our divisions NW of Vinh needs to rest, but only one armored unit has adequate supply for a full attack. They will attack alone to inhibit enemy recovery while the remaining units rest and gather supply. Many C-46A transport planes that have been flying supply to Uttaradit (to enable LRCAP protection of this push) will now drop supplies directly into the battle hex. Within Vinh the two armoured units that attacked will rest while all other units attack. It looks as though whatever Imperial units are withdrawing from Vinh will escape in the nick of time.

We seized Sampit from the air! Dili holds again but just barely.

Our troops at Dili will rest a day and allow the Dutch Navy to get back into position. We landed on Babar and will take it tomorrow. Batavia Heavy Industry is reduced to 2, LI stands at 5. The USA 158th Rgt will sharpen their sticks on the Imperial base force that just arrived at Bandjermasin. The 15th NZ Bde is 0% Disruption/2% Fatigue after just one day on shore (the wonders of an unopposed unloading at a friendly base with lots of supply present) at Babeldaob and will now load for Ulithi. They are 87% prepared and will be less than 100$ when they land, but recon shows the formerly fearsome garrison on Ulithi is down to about 1,500 men and 12 guns.

Indochina.

The upcoming attack in Vinh.




Is it feasible to put those armoured regiments in reserve mode so they can pursue if the enemy breaks and you take Vinh?
