It is unlikely he has enough to blow through your carrier CAP. Destroying his cripples ( which may include a CV you thought sunk) will halt his ops in this area for some time and allow you to set up and supply defences. That is worth the risk of losing a ship or two.


I agree. Sinking a cripple is worth the risk. I will order the damaged CLVs to port, though.

Nothing extraordinary has happened since my last post, and I have been swamped with work (and will be until after the first week of February), so I will give snapshots of the situation whenever I can.

After my last battle report, my CVs hunted for cripples for one additional turn, but all I got was a bomb hit on a CA. They then went home to refill their plane squadrons. Current carrrier assets are as follows:

USN: 4x CV, 2x CLV, 2x CVE, with 4x CVE more in the conversion pipeline. Those four will be ready in 80, 80, 110 & 166 days.
RN, RAN, RNZN: 2x CV, 1x CVL, 2x CAV.

The 2x USN CLV will be converted to CVLs at some point, but I am not sure when yet.

I have begun to encounter A6M3 planes over the skies of Palembang, and their impact has begun to be felt. Also, my esteemed opponent has begun making large, high altitude sweeps over Rangoon, and losses have not been in my favor. Here are the accumulated pilot losses:

Status: offline 		For the first time in a long while, Allied plane losses were greater than Japanese plane losses last turn. As I mentioned above, it is due to the high-altitude sweeps over Rangoon. I need to contest the air there, because that is where reinforcements and supplies land in Burma (so far, I have suffered very few attacks on my shipping there, and I'd like to keep it that way). Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

Do note that, overall, I am not in a bad position regarding airframe losses:

I have tried to do my best to delay and bleed my esteemed opponent here, and though I have had some success, I am slowly losing battles one at a time. Chengchow and Wuchow have been lost, and Chuhsien and Nigsia will be lost very, very soon. Loyang still holds on, though, and Wenchow won't fall until IJB BBs stop bombarding Manila and start doing their thing in the Chinese port.

Those Chinese corps that could be bought out have been bought out, and many of them are already out of China. Pilots are being trained, but not used, waiting for better airframes.

Falken has conquered everything conquerable, with the exception of four bases: Tawi-Tawi, Basuanga, Calapan, and Manila. Manila has proven a tough nut to crack, even out of supply. Also, the IBJ BB bombardments have damaged a lot of the base's infrastructure: 1x manpower, 23x resources, 21x light industry, all 10x heavy industry, and all 20x repair shipyards have been damaged. Taking into account that it is March 15th, I would say it has been a costly campaign for Japan.

These were the results of last turn's Japanese deliberate attack:

Attacking force 70324 troops, 652 guns, 237 vehicles, Assault Value = 1601
Defending force 59824 troops, 481 guns, 177 vehicles, Assault Value = 1514
Japanese adjusted assault: 1247
Allied adjusted defense: 1707

Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 2)
Combat modifiers
Defender: terrain(+), experience(-), supply(-)
Attacker:

Japanese ground losses:
* 3744 casualties reported
*** Squads: 180 destroyed, 433 disabled
*** Non Combat: 4 destroyed, 79 disabled
*** Engineers: 4 destroyed, 77 disabled
*** Guns lost 48 (2 destroyed, 46 disabled)
*** Vehicles lost 12 (1 destroyed, 11 disabled)

Allied ground losses:
* 1523 casualties reported
*** Squads: 12 destroyed, 167 disabled
*** Non Combat: 5 destroyed, 55 disabled
*** Engineers: 4 destroyed, 17 disabled
*** Guns lost 24 (1 destroyed, 23 disabled)
*** Vehicles lost 6 (2 destroyed, 4 disabled)

The base will fall, and soon (I do not expect it to survive through the month), but so far they have given more than they have taken.

Status: offline 		The DEI

I have somehow been able to hold on to Palembang, which remains strong, and all of Java, which is not as strong as I would like, but has been reinforced by air units, at least. Palembang is being successfully swept by CV-based A6M2s and A6M3s, but IJN pilot losses must be mounting up.

One thing I do not understand is why the British torpedo bombers do not fly from Palembang. Perhaps I am missing something. It is a lvl-4 airfield, 223 Group RAF is there, with 100 torpedoes ready, and there are fighter squadrons assigned to escort. Torpedo planes are set to 10k altitude and escorts to 12k, and all the planes are set to a range of 4. What could I be doing wrong? Dive bombers from Oosthaven have flown and sunk ships, but the torpedo bombers from Palembang do nothing. Enough supply on base, btw.

Malaya

Singapore is bombed every turn by air, its fortifications have been lowered to zero, supply has ran out, attack odds are 1-1, and still they keep the IJA at bay. This is another base I do not think will see April 1st in Allied hands, but they have done more than I could hope for. Its fall will spell the doom of Palembang, I think, and I can't avoid it. I can't risk pouring another three divisions there, on the off-chance that I keep it... or can I?

Burma

The IJA had crossed the river 1 hex NE of Pegu... but they crossed back. I see arround 40k IJA troops in two stacks, across the river from Pegu. I have decided to defend Burma en force, while at the same time keeping strong reserves in India. We will see if my strategy bears fruit. The longer I keep the Burma Road open, the better I fare in China.

The Solomon Sea

There are Japanese forces moving towards Port Moresby across the Owen-Stanley Range. I see four units. I wonder if they really intend to take PM. If they try, they are in for a surprise, as Australian strength there is 4+ Inf Bdes, 3 Art Rgts, etc. Also, with the loss of IJN CarDiv 1, unless Falken sends most/all of his flattops there, I can reinforce with units and supplies, while Japan would have to use the Kokoda trail. I do not foresee losing PM in the immediate future.

Both Noumea and Luganville have important important land units dug in, and I will reinforce them continually. Those two bases will get important air assets very, very soon.

Alaska

The Japanese landed and took Attu before I could reinforce, but Adak will not be that easy. Two regiments plus artillery have dug in, and they will be reinforced. Also, there are air and naval units in theater, ready to counter further moves.

Should Falken send carriers there I would be in trouble, but he would achieve little. As one of you so aptly put it, there is nothing there of real strategic value.

India

USA and USAAF forces have begun to arrive. It is a long trip from the East Coast, but the first USA Inf Div is there, with the second partly on its way. Add artillery and planes to the mix (and engineers in the future), and I think India will hold.

Well, I think that is it. I will gladly answer any questions, and will post again as soon as time allows.

Amphib assaults. Amphtracs are also known as LCVPs, landing craft with tracks so they can drive right up on shore. The ATEBn may not show the LCVP equipment, it is just an abstracted pool of LCVPs and operators that give a boost to unloading rates.

After three months of doing the best they could, the battered defenders of Sigapore have fallen. They had no supplies left, only an Inf DIv and an Inf Bde had a positive AV, and there were no fortifications. My only consolation is that only 1-2 IJA Inf Divs are in any combat shape (around 200 AV each).

Manila's defenders repulsed yet another attack, even though the attackers were reinforced by the IJA 19th Inf Div and other units. They only gained a momentary respite... no way to resupply or reinforce them at this point.

Chuhsien was attacked twice and, although it did not fall, it will fall next turn. They hardly have any AV left.

The one bright note in the turn was that the torpedo planes stationed in Palembang finally flew and, although weather grounded most of them, they were aided by the dive bombers in the region (both USN and USAAF). The result was 2-3 xAK sunk, and 1 DD damaged for the price of 7 Allied planes destroyed and 3 damaged. No supplies reached the Japanese combatants in Palembang. Question... should I attack now that they are low on supply, before they are reinforced? or should I husband my strength?

Will post more when I get the turn, in 1-2 days.

Thanks. It is difficult to balance being patient with knowing when to seize the moment. I will be patient.

Also, regarding experience, I did not know that. But Palembang has stood for so long, that there are no units below 50 experience there (and only one is at 50, a non-combat unit).

Status: offline 		In China when playing the Allies, I love it when the Japanese player keeps ground bombardments going against a stack. It will steadily raise their experience into the low 50s. Same holds true in Luzon and with your Indian troops. The under 50 experience can be easily overlooked or forgotten when figuring out adjusted AV. Because of this factor, you need to allow troops to keep the same prep location for a long time as their experience will go up once it reaches 100%.

Ah! This may explain Manila and Palembang, then. About half of the Allied troops in Manila (in AV) are over 50 experience, and the rest are 40-47.

In China, all my troops are 100 prep now, with the exception of Base Forces. The rest are happily getting their exp up. In India it is close to that too. Not so with some of the Americans and Australians, though. The few available divisions I have are prepping for future ops, but are not at 100 prep yet.

Aye, aye, sir! I do not have many transport planes yet, but even the Dutch transport squadron is doing their best along the Brits. Most American squadrons are in R&R until they get planes, but they are already in position.

There are only three remaining unrestricted corps in China, they have already been bought out with PPs, and they are on their way out.

Miraculously, yes, at least up to this point. i am not having too many surplus squads, though, with the troops outside China sucking most of those produced.

There is a huge one a few posts back, from one turn ago. It covers most of China. If there is anything more specific you would like to see, ask away :)

Status: offline 		Greetings all,

RL has not allowed me to post every turn as I would have wanted, but I determined that at the very least I would give a fortnightly report on how the war is faring. Here is the situation as of April 1st, 1942:

USN:
4x CVs, 2x CLVs, 2x CVEs, with 4x CVE more in the conversion pipeline.
--- F4F-4s have begun to fill the CV squadrons. F2A-3s have begun to be phased out.
5x BBs, 2x BCs, with 3x BBs repaired within the month.

RN, RAN, RNZN:
2x CVs, 1x CVL, 2x CAVs.
5x BBs, 1x BC.

Allied naval losses so far have been light, with the exception of CV Yorktown and BC Renown:

Status: offline 		Ground Situation:

The Philippines:

Surprisingly, Manila has held. Not for much longer, though, as supplies have been zero for a while, and fortifications are finally down to zero too. Assault strength is 1089, and although morale is not great, only four units are below 50 exp, at 47-49. The enemy has fed 1-2 fresh divisions, but it was been rough for the Japanese. Furthermore, 1x manpower, 23x resources, 21x light industry, 10x heavy industry, and the 20 repair yards are damaged.

The DEI:

Dutch New Guinea has been lost, and so have Ceram, Moluccas, Celebes, and Borneo. In Sumatra, Bengkalis and Tandjoengbalai have been lost, and both Medan and Palembang have been invested. Still, even with Japanese reinforcements, Palembang has held. Not only that, but also AAF and USN dive bombers have done their job along the Brit torpedo bombers, and they have sunk a number of transports (sadly after they downloaded most of their cargo, though).

Southern Java has been invaded, with Banjoewangi and Loemadjang lost, and troops advancing towards Malang. Still, with everything else going on elsewhere, I think the Dutch colonials will give a good account of themselves.

In the air, I am running out of fighters, but I have shot down a large number of IJN bombers, so I can't reallly complain. My objective of degrading IJN carrier bombers before they confront my carriers again is being reached (see the Japanese plane loss table above).

The Solomon Sea:

1st China and 1st Maizuru Assault Divs. crossed the Kokoda trail and attacked Port Moresby by land. They were not counting on being received by five Australian Bdes. plus assorted units, that have been increasing their experience by bombarding the retreating Japanese. That they are also being hounded by air by three B-17 units is just icing on the cake.

Burma:
The Japanese have once again crossed the river into Pegu, which is devended by 700+ AV. A few units seem to be trying to sneak past that position and cross the river 1 hex NE of Pegu. It would be interesting if they try, as I have reinforced Burma, and there is an Aussie Div and an Indian Bde there. I do not think my esteemed opponent is expecting them (at least not the Aussies).

In the air, Japanese IJA planes are being chewed up by Allied sweeps which include the Flying Tigers, two units of Hurricanes, and a squadron of Lightnings.

Alaska:

Attu Island is in enemy hands, but Adak has been heavily reinforced. Furthermore, I have sent USN surface assets to the theater, just in case. Unless Falken sends carriers this way, I think I have more than enough to contain him there.

I have definitely lost ground in China, but not at the speed my esteemed opponent thought I would. Wenchow is still in CHinese hands, and so is Loyang. Chuhsien, Kukong and Wuchow have been lost, though, and Kanhsien soon will be along with Yenan. The rest is in decent (although not great) shape, and Japan has had to keep troops here, which could have been used elsewhere, so I am happy. Japanese losses have also been larger than my esteemed opponent expected, too.

At some point Falken entered Changsha, and promptly left, after seeing what was arrayed against him. All in all, a somewhat successful delaying strategy in the theater.

Here is another chart, this one showing sunk ships and the VPs they have given. Can't really complain:
