Relocating troops to stop Japan's new direction...meanwhile lots of troops digging in in off base festungs and still a fair number of guerillas.

He knows what he is getting into since he interned with them over the summer....

Bought a Grand Cru champagne to celebrate!

Will be back next week, if fuel is available. No time for vists, although we could be close to another Patton Museum @ Fort Knox. Son #2 was stationed there for a bit...

March 17, 1942

I have decided to reinforce slightly Ceylon, and fight for south eastern India as Japan is trying to take this stuff on the cheap I think.

Lots of Hurricanes sweeping inflicting 2-1 losses. Lost 8 Hurricanes for 10 Zeroes, 6 Oscar Ic, and 3 Tojo...a squadron of B26 hit the Japanese leading tanks, destroying 1 and knocking out 15.

Japan is accelerating their operations in the SRA capturing bases by amphibious invasion left and right.

A good convoy with a dozen Matildas and more arrived. Once these guys get to Australia, our offensive up the eastern Australia coast will begin. Australian forces routed the 6th IJA Tank Regiment south of Cloncurry. A handful of Stauarts in a a cavalry unit did good work...plus a motorized brigade.

Our American AA, prioritized first from America is doing great work at stopping the harvest of victory points by Japan in Australia (plus Japan is flying from smaller runways, or extended range or low supply):

Afternoon Air attack on Brisbane , at 96,160

Weather in hex: Thunderstorms

Raid detected at 111 NM, estimated altitude 23,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 32 minutes

Japanese aircraft
Ki-21-IIa Sally x 22

Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-21-IIa Sally: 5 damaged

Aircraft Attacking:
6 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 18000 feet *
City Attack: 2 x 250 kg GP Bomb
8 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 18000 feet *
Port Attack: 2 x 250 kg GP Bomb
8 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 18000 feet *
Port Attack: 2 x 250 kg GP Bomb

Afternoon Air attack on Brisbane , at 96,160

Weather in hex: Thunderstorms

Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 21,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 28 minutes

Japanese aircraft
G4M1 Betty x 17

Japanese aircraft losses
G4M1 Betty: 1 damaged

Aircraft Attacking:
13 x G4M1 Betty bombing from 18000 feet
Port Attack: 2 x 250 kg SAP Bomb, 4 x 60 kg GP Bomb
4 x G4M1 Betty bombing from 18000 feet
City Attack: 2 x 250 kg SAP Bomb, 4 x 60 kg GP Bomb

A damaged heavy cruiser is pierside at Brisbane, and acting like a magnet drawing in the air attacks. Once every three days she takes a bomb hit that bounces off the armor.

Finally, the Japanese lose their focus on Brisbane and strike south...into the waiting Americans.

I have asked this before and I'm not sure if I missed the answer but why on Earth is your opponent ALWAYS shock attacking? Do you have some kind of odd house rule about this? We can't complain about the AI doing crazy things when we have experienced PBEM players doing even crazier things.

I have yet to see a deliberate attack by the Japanese in this game and if he would stop the senseless shock attacks everywhere he might have some troops left to fight in mid 42 and not have wrecked every available unit on the map.

Well, this was a paratroop attack which isn't obvious from my post. Japan has toned down their use of shock attacks a bit, as witnessed by this attack at Ceylon (wouldn't surprise me if he shock attacks today though):

Ground combat at Trincomalee (31,47)

Japanese Deliberate attack

Attacking force 11879 troops, 99 guns, 35 vehicles, Assault Value = 347

Defending force 8447 troops, 70 guns, 45 vehicles, Assault Value = 92

Japanese adjusted assault: 92

Allied adjusted defense: 205

Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 1)

Combat modifiers
Defender: terrain(+), experience(-)
Attacker: leaders(-), disruption(-)

Japanese ground losses:
182 casualties reported
Squads: 1 destroyed, 20 disabled
Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled

Allied ground losses:
348 casualties reported
Squads: 2 destroyed, 20 disabled
Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 14 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled
Guns lost 7 (1 destroyed, 6 disabled)

Assaulting units:
38th Division

Defending units:

1. Sending in two destroyer squadrons to Koggala at Ceylon hoping to catch IJN troop/supply ships
2. Sending in two destroyers in the Luzon Island to contest an anticipated landing
3. A large destroyer squadron is operating around Noumea

We whiff with all our destroyer raids...KB is at Singapore bombing the port, while a few smaller carriers are off Ceylon.

7 Allied Destroyers across two task forces are at Koggala...which is empty now that the lone regiment moved one hex away. I have flown some worthless troops to Colombo and am sending the brigade there to Tri...to prevent the IJA Division (the 38th I think) from taking that base.

Wirraway and Hudsons providing good intel...the 2/11th AC regiment will move south while our forces move north from Toowoomba.

Good move. Colombo is clear terrain and Trincomalee is IIRC, wooded rough or jungle rough.

Were you doing a non-specific ground attack mission when you found that unit in the middle of the desert? I imagine either that or you were quite lucky with the recon hex.

PS: There are 36 disbanded ships in Koggala, I had hoped to damage some of them this turn...
