Ok... got the combat report back. Getting mauled in the air, but twice I got a number of Betties, which is always nice. I am running out of fighters, though! Also, Batavia is being shut down by rather efficient A6M2s and B5N2s. On land, the story is quite different, though. My esteemed opponents words were: "You are smart my friend. You have me stalled on several fronts, and I'll need to do some thinking quick before it gets too late. My troop losses are getting heavy, and I have to decide what to do next. My current thinking is you have a lot of troops in places where they normally wouldn't be, so... it means other places might be good areas to umm...... well... we'll see" (edited for format). Anyway, this is the gist of what happened: Palembang (both were Japanese deliberate attacks) Day 1: Japanese ground losses: * 1339 casualties reported ** Squads: 20 destroyed, 96 disabled ** Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 11 disabled ** Engineers: 2 destroyed, 11 disabled ** Guns lost 17 (1 destroyed, 16 disabled) ** Vehicles lost 5 (4 destroyed, 1 disabled) Allied ground losses: * 569 casualties reported ** Squads: 5 destroyed, 37 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 6 disabled Day 2: (after the second British brigade arrives) Japanese ground losses: * 1804 casualties reported ** Squads: 71 destroyed, 63 disabled ** Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 11 disabled ** Engineers: 2 destroyed, 9 disabled ** Guns lost 18 (6 destroyed, 12 disabled) ** Vehicles lost 3 (3 destroyed, 0 disabled) Allied ground losses: * 279 casualties reported ** Squads: 10 destroyed, 13 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled ** Guns lost 4 (1 destroyed, 3 disabled) Manila (both were Japanese bombardments) Day 1: Japanese ground losses: * 227 casualties reported ** Squads: 2 destroyed, 18 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled ** Guns lost 10 (7 destroyed, 3 disabled) ** Vehicles lost 1 (1 destroyed, 0 disabled) Day 2: Japanese ground losses: * 182 casualties reported ** Squads: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled ** Guns lost 12 (5 destroyed, 7 disabled) ** Vehicles lost 2 (1 destroyed, 1 disabled) Allied ground losses: * 8 casualties reported ** Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Wenchow: Day 1: Japanese ground losses: * 1470 casualties reported ** Squads: 7 destroyed, 141 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 26 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 10 disabled Allied ground losses: * 213 casualties reported ** Squads: 1 destroyed, 18 disabled ** Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 5 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Chengchow: Day 1: Japanese ground losses: * 5172 casualties reported ** Squads: 14 destroyed, 508 disabled ** Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 43 disabled ** Engineers: 2 destroyed, 42 disabled Allied ground losses: * 1851 casualties reported ** Squads: 28 destroyed, 143 disabled ** Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 60 disabled ** Engineers: 1 destroyed, 12 disabled Tsiaotso: Day 1: Japanese ground losses: * 139 casualties reported ** Squads: 0 destroyed, 16 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Allied ground losses: * 405 casualties reported ** Squads: 11 destroyed, 35 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled ** Engineers: 3 destroyed, 2 disabled Day 2: (after Chinese reinforcements arrived; otherwise I think it would have been lost) Japanese ground losses: * 715 casualties reported ** Squads: 2 destroyed, 99 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled ** Engineers: 1 destroyed, 11 disabled Allied ground losses: * 286 casualties reported ** Squads: 6 destroyed, 15 disabled ** Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled ** Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled In Cagayan and Clark Field I am slowly losing the battle. In the first because of lack of supply, and in the second because most units are already in Manila. In Ichang it is a stalemate. Should I even be bombarding? All in all, I can't complain. The land results were too good.
