There is one AMC, the Pansy, a Qboat with 0 cargo capacity, but does she provide an offloading bonus to the other ships?

Japan has 1/10 DL on Imphal at the moment.

Strong IJ concentration at Chittagong.

Dimapur is a 7 (91) AF and can rail in 1200 supplies. Building up all the airbases.

Too bad, I had hoped they would not retreat for lack of a supply path

Of course there is a supply path - to Ankang. Absence or presence of actual supply does not enter this criterium.

Only loaded AGC can help with unloading AFAIK. Other ships are on their own, and at the hands of local navsupport and port size sans damage

Addu is an atoll, so the invasion fleet will mosey on up 1 hex away and await for the invasion tomorrow. Hopefully we will be undetected...

Light Cruiser SAG will take up a blocking position in front of the invasion, while subs patrol the route from Colombo, Illustrious and Formidable will stand ready and will either bomb the base in no detection is present, or be set for naval attacks or both even.

The 2nd Marine Regiment will storm ashore as best they can from a dozen xaps...prep is 93% I believe.

If situation deteriorates we can retreat to Diego Garcia or Mombasa.

Start reconning every base and when you can clear the air, drop in for a visit . . .

Especially with more units ready to airlift in and possibly a TF ready to sail and drop off supplies and troops.

Sometimes I think all of a sudden flooding an area with recon makes for a good diversion.

In the predawn darkness, the 2nd Marine regiment storms ashore at Addu. They are mostly prepared for the objective and two British heavy cruisers provide plenty of accurate fire support!

Status: offline 		Many lessons learned...recon is important, our forces need better ships to unload with at the beachhead, and of course combined operations with naval bombardments, aerial bombardments help. Landing some Naval support would have been nice...well, it would have been nice to have more assets assigned the op...

All the Allied fleets have a DL of 100/1...and will need to evacuate. Never stay more than one day at a beachhead, unless I am planning something sneaky.

Illustrious has a 3/3 DL and the light cruiser SAG patrolling 45 mile east and north of Addu have 0 DL.

This was an opportunistic landing...and was definitely rushed to achieve surprise....our recon was strong...our mission accomplished so far.







Ground combat at Addu (16,52)

Status: offline 		The Qboat never supported the invasion with their guns....no supplies or troops to unload.

I think in future having some surface warships merge with the invasion fleet in the AM naval pulse, so they provide naval bombardment support for the afternoon landings would be a good thing too.

Having an AKE to disband into the captured base, if High Command estimates a one day victory, would also be situationally nice, although in crowded waters spending the op points to dally and reload might not be the wisest course of action.

Strange for me for Japan to take the base and never even use it...most likely even a slight dl ping on the invasion fleet would have caused a delay in the invasion.

Status: offline 		One 12 VP xAP was the most expensive ship at risk, while most of the xAPs were in the 7-8 VP range and one was even only 1 VP.

The 2nd Marine Regiment certainly at risk, and quite a bit of the remaining British warships were involved. Now to escape without any additional cost...

I liked the sub net patrolling a likely path from Colombo.

If I can get the supplies here, this could be shortcut to get PT Boats in theater...worth it or exploit? I think I have a transport TF headed to Cape Town to do the same thing.






The DM didn't fire, but he PC did. Interesting...a factory I never really paid attention to prior.

Tennant Creek was declared out of bounds to military personnel in late 1941 when the authorities became concerned about potential altercations between Tennant Creek’s mining community and servicemen. In September 1942 all licensed premises along the highway were made out of bounds to service personnel.

Perhaps the occupation force decided not to risk a fight with the Tennant Creek gold miners?

I remember the first few times I tried this when playing a PBEM. Not very good, but like you said, a learning experience. There are ways to do it in '42 and early '43 before you get the APA and later the AKA and a different version(s) from mid-'43 and beyond. If using just xAP and xAKs, I would use 3 to 4x the needed capacity and not load extra supply. I would use TFs just with supply to unload along with xAP/xAKs. Of course having those slow LST help when unloading your armor. Another early war tactic is to use those numerous small xAPs (CW xAKs with capacity of 1750 that you should have converted to small xAPs). They are ideal in this role. Of course, a naval BF with naval support always helps.
Those 'slow' BBs now salvaged from Pearl now come in very handy. I tend to place one or two in the Amphib TF as they soak up CD hits and often will fire causing significant disruption. Of course MSW go in those TFs as Nathan loves his mines.

Thanks...I did have a separate xakl convoy with KVs unloading supply...the KVs fired, but the actual level of supplies unloaded with pretty poor...but I think they spent the first movement phase reaching the beaches.

I also had a separate AM TF sweeping (remain on station), they hopefully arrived first, but I didn't have enough minesweepers to embed some in the amphibious invasion TF. There was no mines.

I think Canton and Baker Island will be pretty straight forward as long as the IJN doesn't show up...but Marcus will most likely be stuffed with cd guns, mines, and 6k troops.

I did convert those ships to xap...but a lot of my shipping fled off map about a month or two ago for fear of a deep strike by the IJN.

Japan has two plus divisions on Ceylon...it will be a long time before I tackle that I fear. It would be nice to sneak the shipping around Ceylon to Madras and invade from that vector...which would be an order of magnitude less risky. I do have 2 of the Pacific xap class at Calcutta, they can carry 1000 men each plus a handful of xaks. Jaffna might be in our future.

No couunter at Addu other than a lone Iboat that is spotted. Marines have supply...

Sank an AMc clearing mines at Singers...supplies very low there.

Lost a tanker to an Iboat in Alaska...my bad as I moved the ASW patrol to Kodiak for whatever reason. Fixed and improved.

The Ankang road is lost, I may or may not be able to hold in the circled area, probably not against a determined attack..which this is. Just no supplies.

The other danger is rotating the US TOE units from Tuyun to counter this attack leaves the Tuyun area very vulnerable to a possible attack by the 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions once they are formed up.

Status: offline 		Planning out the war....

Short term...Baker to Tabby.

3 months Marcus and Pagan. The USN, Marines and American Army are so strong we will have enough troops to assign prep for all our targets in the Marianas (Pagan and surrounding islands) Marcus, 3 Islands in the Kuriles, and the Jimas. The fights are anticipated at Pagan (maybe) and definitely Marucs. But the real goals are the three islands around Pagan. They can hold plentiful troops, can be built into decent runways and there are three of them Japan would have to attempt to suppress.

This move will obviously trigger a KB response...so we will need some maskirovka! Fortunately, plenty of opportunity from an over expanded Japan.

We are planning for success, so prep will extend down with available troops to Hokkaido and some Japanese Islands. Whether we get there or not is not material. That we are prepared to exploit the crack in the perimeter before Japan can fully defend it is....

This move will create a huge frictional loss for Japan I believe....CV clashes can always be a bit on the dodgy side....and it is early.

Any of you AFBs ever buy out the 13th Armored Divsions?

Status: offline 		Looking on the big map, it is a darn audacious plan...getting the Marshalls first would be more prudent.

But success leads plenty of opportunity and will cause Japan lots of reshuffling of troops. A thrust to close off the shipping routes to Honshu or Hokkaido invasion could be possible.

A big followup move on Hokkaido seems like the most promising, as moves from Pagan would be under the watchful Japanese eyes and be dependent upon a large victory at sea or Japan ceding the Pagan islands without a CV clash which is a possibility.

I'm not sure you have the shipping for that

Once the invasion forces split, then you are going to be short of cover

Course, if you know the KB is in the Indian Ocean, then you should be ok

If you don't know where the KB is, then I'd say that this is too ambitious
