Gentlemen, I have digressed. You visit here to hear about blood, gore and battle, about heroic deeds, sweet victory and dire defeat. And what did we do recently? Discuss support troops (which is not to say I didn't like that discussion a lot.) Of course, I have excuses, excuses... like I am moving assets and provisions to positions of my liking, there are no flowing operations, the war is rather static apart from the breakthrough towards Sian (which I will try to discuss later today) but rather grinding in fixed positions, and if I set up a little surprise, like I did last turn, my planes don't fly... But still, I will give you some heroics here from the turn I just received. 1) As you know, I think the pause in IJ onslaught is partly due to the fact that major parts of IJA are still busy taking Bataan. Kudos to NY59Giants form making this stand last as long as it does . A nice result, given that my defenders are virtually out of supply, and a few important days gained. Ground combat at Bataan (78,77) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 109573 troops, 1254 guns, 792 vehicles, Assault Value = 3130 Defending force 30566 troops, 530 guns, 338 vehicles, Assault Value = 734 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 2 Japanese adjusted assault: 1697 Allied adjusted defense: 579 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 2 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), preparation(-), fatigue(-), experience(-) supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 7642 casualties reported Squads: 25 destroyed, 729 disabled Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 57 disabled Engineers: 9 destroyed, 88 disabled Guns lost 66 (2 destroyed, 64 disabled) Vehicles lost 30 (6 destroyed, 24 disabled) Allied ground losses: 1549 casualties reported Squads: 114 destroyed, 102 disabled Non Combat: 71 destroyed, 133 disabled Engineers: 5 destroyed, 13 disabled Guns lost 32 (5 destroyed, 27 disabled) Vehicles lost 36 (18 destroyed, 18 disabled) Units destroyed 1 Assaulting units: 7th/A Division 16th Engineer Regiment 2nd Tank Regiment 20th Infantry Regiment 7th Tank Regiment 7th/B Division 48th/B Division 52nd/C Division 25th/B Division 8th Tank Regiment 33rd Infantry Regiment 24th Nav Gsn Unit 25th/C Division 52nd/B Division 48th/C Division 54th/B Division 54th/C Division 9th Infantry Regiment 11th/A Division 19th Ind.

Engineer Regiment 15th Ind.Medium Field Artillery Regiment 5th Medium Field Artillery Regiment Defending units: 77th Chinese Corps 84th Chinese Corps 90th Chinese Corps 92nd Chinese Corps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IJA is pursuing the battered roadblock on the road to Sian, which just bought me one important day. Don't get too excited about the reduced AV of IJ, only the armor was present in the hex at the beginning of the turn, but those four battered corps HELD. Hartwig
