ORIGINAL: LGKMAS Yeah, I have noticed that sometimes when I take a base, his base VPs barely change while mine go up a point or two. Then as I repair the base, I get more points. So he must have been on minimal points due to supply shortage. Blocking supplies really has to come with inflicting damage on ports and airfields and the like, to make him expend precious supplies on repairs. mind you, I have had 6 Japanese divisions plus other hangers-on outside Akyab cut off from supplies for nearly 6 months now, subject to daily bombardments and they still seem rather strong in AV, according to the Combat reports. it is Monsoon season so I am going to keep bombarding and Air bombing them all through the Monsoon and then hit them with deliberate attacks about a week from the end of the Monsoon. I have LCUs to their north West, Their North, their South and soon to their NE and SE. SW is the sea. They should be surrounded so I am waiting to see what happens. I did hit one group of forces near Rangoon. They "retreated towards Chiang Mai" by moving North from Bassein!!! I had to chase them all over the Rangoon Delta country to finally kill them. I have Rabaul now at 80 AF hits and 60 Port hits but I am not stupid enough to invade that base (Yet!). Even a 40K troops garrison with minimal supplies still can inflict serious casualties and I am not yet so flush with LCUs that I can recklessly throw them at supposed poorly supplied but well dug in enemy. Just leave those units at Rabaul as targets for your air units and naval units.
