Also, do you have any (relatively) recent sigint about Okinawa and the Canton/Hong Kong zone? Always interested in trying to predict how much opposition you'll face, though it could change quickly...


On-map Intel:

Canton
14 units
28,880 troops
174 guns
14 AFV

Hong Kong
4 units
14,780 troops
64 guns
0 AFV

Naha
17 units
54,080 troops
508 guns
182 AFV

Nago and Daito Shoto are not presently at full recon so the figures are inaccurate. Figures given for them in the past are still largely accurate. All three will be bundles of fun. The other targets in the Okinawa operation are not under recon.

SigInt will take longer to collate. Maybe tonight maybe later. For Canton and Hong Kong I won't even bother, because they are on the mainland SigInt is useless because what is and isn't there can change completely in one day.

I should add the the Chinese Army units operating near Chiang Mai are another >900 AV. But they are still engaged and will take longer to get to the Indochina-China border from their present location anyway.

Those are just the ones that got bought out and are outside of China. Lots more in China. Of course there are zillions of troops/units that will only re-spawn if I recapture Chungking.

Does that mean the 300 squads are accumulating in the pools each turn? Or do they stop when Chungking is captured by Japan and only restart on liberation?

No, I don't mean the device replacement pools. Chinese units both in and out of China have been taking replacements like crazy. I mean the deal where Chinese units that are destroyed re-spawn with 1/3 infantry squads in Chungking. If I ever do recapture Chungking (seems unlikely) there will be a flood of infantry-only Chinese units arriving there.

If I remember right, there's more than one city the Chungking Magic Queue can work through. Perhaps there's an easier target?

Interesting, you have quite a bit of Chinese army still left :P Though I know it's not very strong units, aside from AV. Is there any particular reasons you left them prepped for Tsuyung, Taichow and Kunming?

Quite a bit of stuff at Naha by the way. I wonder if he has any inklings of your plan....

Just so they can train to max and stay there when taking replacements. Not knowing where to prepare them for I also keep the option to retain partial preparation for a new target.

Quite a bit of stuff at Naha by the way. I wonder if he has any inklings of your plan....
Just that it's both an obvious target and a really good one.

I know, but I am not telling you! Simply put you don't need anymore help at this stage of the game, plus I am rooting for Andav anyhow. And it probably doesn't matter anyhow...

PS: I didn't mean that to come across as snide, or juvenile, and I am sure a quick search on your part will answer your question, but you are doing so very well...

1944 September 06

The Allies captured:


There were Imperial amphibious or airborne operations at:


There were Allied amphibious or airborne operations at:


Imperial Naval Bombardments


Allied Naval Bombardments:
Allied Ships Bombarding Vinh
Allied Ships Bombarding Ternate


Our subs had some action between Japan and China but got no hits.

Quiet in China on the ground. Chungking LI was hit again with predictably lesser results (more rubble vs less operating industry). The B-29 groups lost 3x ships today and will rest. Their next assignment is unclear, but transfers to the Marianas are not far off.

SW of Chumphon our three divisions destroyed the enemy on the road.

They are moving on as fast as possible. The armour will take quite a while to catch up. Victoria Point port is now size 3 and will build to size 4 (the maximum).

The attack near Hanoi also destroyed the defenders, that after dozens of squads were destroyed from the air. Vinh is about to fall.

Again the Empire invested highly skilled bomber pilots to attack our armor prior to their attack near Hanoi. They fought through to target despite serious losses, but to no ultimate effect. Both infantry divisions are moving on Hanoi. The four armored units are moving on Haiphong (in combat formation). The CA TF is already in position and will bombard Vinh tonight, supporting the continued deliberate attack. It is clear that the shock attack with immediate followup by some armor cracked the defenses at Vinh. The USA 96th Infantry Division and XI Corps Engineer Group have unloaded at Cam Ranh bay and will rail to Tourane before passing through Vinh to join the offensive.

Ternate.

Vinh is doomed, I tell you. Doomed!

It will be interesting to see what happens when you encroach into China.

You haven't posted any air battles reports in a few days...what is Japan contesting the air with other than those Helen strikes.

Is there a Japanese fighter you fear more than others that is in action right now?

Just took a look through this last combat report, but it's a bad example because other turns had much more active fighter opposition. Mostly

N1K1-J George
Ki-84a Frank

but also recall those darned Nicks (IIRC) opposing bombers out of fighter escort range. In fact the first sweep of Chungking caught some of them, I think.

I think the George has proven to be the most dangerous. I don't track that as much as many players do.

I should point out that we loaded the experimental Babes aircraft update. When it was tweaked a couple of weeks later (to become the standard Babes air stats) we did not upgrade to the newer one that slightly toned down some Imperial fighters. So, the Empire in this game has it a little bit better in the air.

I don't have the mod you're using installed, but those are no leftover units obviously. And quite a bit of AA. You have a real fight on your hands.

Even if you shut down the airfields with bombers (which I suppose will cost you quite a bit of planes), that will clearly tell your opponent where you plan to land. It's going to be kamikaze hell!

Which is good, for us who read this

Absolutely! That's why I am planning to carry out the smaller invasions of the operation while the larger battles are still being fought. As far as kamikazes go, I do expect problems (especially for the non-upgraded CVE fleet) but there won't be much in the way of bases nearby that should be too potent. The full B-29 force will be tasked with shutting down Naha and Nago first, then going after whatever troublesome bases they can reach.

For the data junkies, here is a similar list but for all bases and all hexes. Again, this has been filtered so that only the most recent SigInt for any LCU is included. A small number are in the vein of 'aboard ship and heading to ...' rather than 'is located at ...' but are included anyway. The hexes come first, then the bases.

The file is attached but not shown due to its length.

I know real data junkies always want more, so here is a list of all Japanese LCUs for which one or more SigInt items have been received. Shows the location and date of the most recent SigInt for each LCU.

I had to hit the Page Dn key 42 times to scroll through that last list! That has to give JFBs the willies to see how much SIGINT the Allies get!

Japan has production to keep track of, but Allies have all that sigint to wade through.
