The Situation in Northern Burma

as of November 26, 1942


The U. S. 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions marched into Myitkyina without a shot fired. The Japanese had deserted the base. The Allies were pleased to find that the air capacity level is 2; the fort level is 3; and the supply for the base is at 3,629.

The 24th division was 100% prepped for Myitkyina. The 24th division swithced to prep for Lashio. It started out at 25%. For both units, the Fatigue is at 10% and the Disruption is at 28%. Both units are in rest mode in an effort to get their Fatigue and Disruption percentages down before marching towards Lashio. This rest will also give some time to the AA units and Base Forces that are earmarked to accompany each division to catch up a bit.

The 87th Mountain Regiment, the 77th Chindit Brigade, and the 11th Chindit Brigade are at Warazup. The 87th will remain to Garrison Warazup (it is in rest mode). The Chindit Brigades should march into Myitkyina tomorrow or the next day. One Chindit Brigade will remain to garrison Myitkyina. The other, though fatigue and disruption somewhat high, will continue to march directly to Bhamo. The 268th motorized Brigade, AA unit, and Base Forces earmarked to accompany the Chindit Brigades are trailing behind and will eventually make their way to Bhamo. One Chindit Brigade will remain to Garrison Bhamo, the balance of the Chindit earmarked units will move to Lashio.

The idea in Northern Burma is to cut the Japanese escape route to China and to establish a sizable base (in all respects) at Lashio as the jump-off base into China.

Chinese units are attempting to, and so far have managed, to disrupt Japanese supply to Kunming, Tsyung, and Paoshan. In the event that Lashio is deserted, the 24th and 25th will immediately march to Paoshan. The 268th motorized Division; 119th RAF BF; and RAF 225 Group BF; 1st Medium ART; and 2nd Medium ART will remain at Lashio to protect the backdoor until all of Burma is fully secured and garrisoned with the Burma Corps, ABDA Forces, and the seven Chinese Corps'.

That is a rough snapshot for now and a snapshot of Burma is below.

Best Regards,

-Terry

At Adak you have 42 guns to his 390.

This is a somewhat misleading statistic as it reports all "guns" which includes AA and Anti-tank that cannot fore in a bombardment, but it is still a fair gauge of relative gun strength.

In this situation it is likely better to not bombard as the counter battery fire is too severe and you are incurring more casualties than you are causing.

There is still an up side to what you are doing, but it remains hidden and is difficult to gauge the effect of.

Daily bombardments cause the enemy to use supply, reduces or holds down morale and increases or keeps up disruption.

None of these effects get reported back to you.

There may be valid reasons for keeping up a bombardment that is causing more casualties on your own forces than the enemies.

It pays off when you know you can recover your disablements faster than his.

It pays off when you have him pinned down on a beachhead with limited supply you can force him to use up by counter battery fire.

It pays off if you when you are preparing your opponent for an attack by keeping his morale low and his disruption high.

The game is full of trade offs. The key to good play is gauging the relative value of any chosen action.

Just yesterday when doing a turn I was looking at an LCU that had some mortars, some anti tank guns, and some howitzers. Due to the low tally I noticed that the mortars and howitzers were counted in the 'Guns' tally, but the anti tank guns were not. I'm sure if we look at the device stats in Tracker or directly in the scenario file we could figure out what makes a device get counted as a 'gun', but for now I'll just go with the notion "AT guns are not part of the tally".

Hans-

Thank you for the information.

Considering I think the Allied units will recover faster than the Japanese units, I will continue to bombard the Japanese on Adak Island hoping to eat Japanese supply, cause fatigue and hopefully disruption to the Japanese troops.

Best Regards,

November 29, 1942


We are rapidly closing toward the end of the month. I am not sure what El Lobo's plans are for Colombo and Adak Island. The Japanese have three plus infantry divisions at both locations. The Japanese have not deliberately attacked Colombo during November and the Japanese have not deliberately attacked Adak Island once since the first amphibious landing on October 15, 1942.

In China, both Chentu and Chungking are under siege.

Any updates on the south-pac? Did you re-occupy Rabaul yet?

Your opponent seems strangely stalled at Adak. Maybe he is trying to suck out a naval (CV) reaction.

My view is that by middle of '43 you need to start trying to get some engagement with his larger naval and air forces. It is important to start attriting him. Creeping up New G. and the Moluccas is a safer way to start this engagement than mid-Pacific.

Any updates on the south-pac? Did you re-occupy Rabaul yet?

Your opponent seems strangely stalled at Adak. Maybe he is trying to suck out a naval (CV) reaction.

My view is that by middle of '43 you need to start trying to get some engagement with his larger naval and air forces. It is important to start attriting him. Creeping up New G. and the Moluccas is a safer way to start this engagement than mid-Pacific.


potiouspilot-

Yes, a base force has unloaded at Rabaul.

Not exactly sure what El Lobo has planned for Adak Island. Perhaps, he just wants to make sure that the Allies don't make an early invasion of the Kurile Islands from the Aleutians. So, he is just sitting tight there, sort of an early warning?

Yes, that would be a safer way. For now, I am still planning on invading the Marianas Islands on June 1, 1943. That could change, but for now, that's the plan.

Thank you for your interest and advice.

Best Regards,

-Terry

Admiral, I pretty much knew the 4th's days were numbered as soon as they stumbled upon the Nippon sake cache...

Under the topic Strange & Amazing Events I dreamt during yesterday's nap (my "zen period" of careful strategic planning) that SS Scamp sunk Akagi.

"Dang, it was only a dream!"

Well, Scamp just entered the game today with Hake.

So it all adds up, I guess.

Combat Report

December 6, 1942


El Lobo's ground forces continue to close the noose around Chengtu and Chungking.

Early on the Chinese adopted a tactic in an effort to interdict Japanese supply in China. The Chinese knew that the Japanese prize was Chungking. Accordingly, numerous Chinese Corps were earmarked and strategically placed to hide in the forests two hexes away from the major roads and railways leading to Chungking. The Chinese laid low; letting the Japanese race toward Chungking. After the Japanese passed by these hidden Chinese Corps, these Chinese Corps moved-in behind the advancing Japanese to interdict the Japanese supply lines.

The problem is, a year later, El Lobo has rooted-out most of these Chinese Corps and very few are left to disrupt Japanese supply in China.

A map of Chengtu, Chungking, and the surrounding area is set forth below.

By the Numbers

December 6, 1942


El Lobo and I are not playing for Victory Points. However the numbers do provide a relative gauge as to how the Allies have done after the first year of war.

Best Regards,

Strategic Map

December 6, 1942


As one can gather by viewing the Strategic Map below, El Lobo has chosen not to aggressively expand the Evil Empire.

El Lobo's Grand Strategy has been to conserve troops, ships, aircraft, fuel, supply, and resources and to orchestrate a tight defensive perimeter with sizable ports, forts, and airbases.

Time will tell whether El Lobo has chosen a wise course for his Evil Empire.

Best Regards,

-Terry

Looks like a sir robin defense as his and your losses in ships and planes are low compared to other AARs. I am struck that you have seemed to have bypassed NG and the South Pacific for the time being. Did you concentrate buy outs for China over expansion in NG and the South and South-Central Pacific? Was this in hope of a Chinese theater victory to free up massive LCUs to be used in early 1943 for limited offensives or fleshing out the defense ring?
