aztez -> Kadina falls in April 1945 (7/30/2007 7:20:14 PM)

Japanese aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses Ki-102a Randy: 1 destroyed Japanese ground losses: 1270 casualties reported Guns lost 26 Allied ground losses: 687 casualties reported Guns lost 36 Vehicles lost 5 Good. I was expecting an longer struggle but this is definately excellent development. The airfield is badly damaged though so it will take few days to get it operational again. Luda Day Air attack on Luda , at 58,32 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 107 No Allied losses Resources hits 51 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luda , at 58,32 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 99 No Allied losses Resources hits 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luda , at 58,32 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 109 No Allied losses Resources hits 69 These strikes are in preparations for Soviet activation. I don't want Manchuko army to tons of supplies piled up. Hanoi Day Air attack on Hanoi , at 36,37 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 440 No Allied losses Heavy Industry hits 272 These bombers flew from big airfields in India. Goodbye HI at Hanoi. Mandalay Ground combat at Mandalay Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 193302 troops, 598 guns, 2399 vehicles, Assault Value = 3860 Defending force 83754 troops, 285 guns, 1 vehicles, Assault Value = 1619 Allied max assault: 3580 - adjusted assault: 2978 Japanese max defense: 1437 - adjusted defense: 6673 Allied assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 6) Japanese ground losses: 2359 casualties reported Guns lost 28 Allied ground losses: 4513 casualties reported Guns lost 44 Vehicles lost 18 This offensive is not going anywhere. At least it is grinding down his reserves if nothing else.

Game date is 30th of May 1945 Home Islands Day Air attack on Nagoya , at 64,42 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 13 PB4Y Liberator x 161 Allied aircraft losses PB4Y Liberator: 2 damaged hits 14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Hiroshima/Kure , at 60,41 Allied aircraft P-51D Mustang x 35 P-61A Black Widow x 21 B-24J Liberator x 319 No Allied losses Heavy Industry hits 78 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Nagoya , at 64,42 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 61 PB4Y Liberator x 148 Allied aircraft losses PB4Y Liberator: 1 destroyed, 5 damaged hits 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Hiroshima/Kure , at 60,41 Allied aircraft P-51D Mustang x 35 P-61A Black Widow x 15 B-24J Liberator x 231 No Allied losses Heavy Industry hits 73 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Nagoya , at 64,42 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 12 PB4Y Liberator x 47 Allied aircraft losses PB4Y Liberator: 3 damaged -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Hiroshima/Kure , at 60,41 Allied aircraft P-51D Mustang x 51 P-61A Black Widow x 9 B-24J Liberator x 170 Allied aircraft losses B-24J Liberator: 4 damaged Heavy Industry hits 64 The daily raids continue. Not bad results once again. Now that I hold Kadina Japan itself is pretty much isolated completely. I have flow some Corairs and Invaders into Kadina. Other resource bombings Day Air attack on Chengting , at 52,28 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 317 No Allied losses Resources hits 89 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Seoul , at 59,36 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 108 No Allied losses Armament Assembly hits 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Seoul , at 59,36 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 88 No Allied losses Armament Assembly hits 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chengting , at 52,28 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 356 No Allied losses Resources hits 116 This should hurt his forces in China just in case Dave had planned some offensives. Also, the Manchuko bombings are in preparation for the USSR activation. Allied CV TF's near Marianas Day Air attack on Saipan , at 63,64 Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft SB2C Helldiver x 347 Barracuda x 52 TBF Avenger x 6 TBM Avenger x 526 Avenger II x 13 Japanese aircraft losses B7A Grace: 2 destroyed Ki-43-IIa Oscar: 6 destroyed Ki-67 Peggy: 3 destroyed Ki-46-II Dinah: 1 destroyed Ki-102a Randy: 6 destroyed E7K2 Alf: 3 destroyed A6M5 Zeke: 5 destroyed Ki-21 Sally: 4 destroyed Allied aircraft losses SB2C Helldiver: 8 damaged TBM Avenger: 9 damaged Avenger II: 1 damaged Japanese ground losses: 624 casualties reported Guns lost 15 Airbase hits 81 Airbase supply hits 16 Runway hits 696 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Saipan , at 63,64 Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft F6F Hellcat x 10 SB2C Helldiver x 377 Barracuda x 52 TBF Avenger x 6 TBM Avenger x 520 Avenger II x 13 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 20 destroyed B7A Grace: 7 destroyed Ki-102a Randy: 7 destroyed Ki-43-IIa Oscar: 13 destroyed Ki-21 Sally: 3 destroyed P1Y Frances: 7 destroyed E7K2 Alf: 4 destroyed Ki-46-II Dinah: 1 destroyed Ki-67 Peggy: 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses SB2C Helldiver: 2 destroyed, 11 damaged TBM Avenger: 2 damaged Japanese ground losses: 261 casualties reported Guns lost 3 Airbase hits 30 Airbase supply hits 7 Runway hits 720 I think that the main objective is done. Marianas seemed to become substantial airbase for Japanese Kamikazes and bombers. Now Saipan is definately closed for good.

Game date is 7th of May 1945 Resource bombings in Manchuko/Japan Day Air attack on Okayama , at 61,41 Allied aircraft P-51D Mustang x 39 P-61A Black Widow x 15 B-24J Liberator x 242 No Allied losses Merchant Shipyard hits 120 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Sendai , at 67,41 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 60 PB4Y Liberator x 135 Allied aircraft losses PB4Y Liberator: 4 damaged Resources hits 52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Okayama , at 61,41 Allied aircraft P-51D Mustang x 36 P-61A Black Widow x 13 B-24J Liberator x 240 No Allied losses Merchant Shipyard hits 43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Anshan , at 60,31 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 157 Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 1 damaged Resources hits 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Sendai , at 67,41 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 60 PB4Y Liberator x 128 Allied aircraft losses PB4Y Liberator: 4 damaged Resources hits 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Okayama , at 61,41 Allied aircraft P-51D Mustang x 39 P-61A Black Widow x 12 B-24J Liberator x 246 No Allied losses Merchant Shipyard hits 56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Anshan , at 60,31 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 119 No Allied losses Resources hits 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Sendai , at 67,41 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 110 PB4Y Liberator x 126 Allied aircraft losses PB4Y Liberator: 3 damaged Resources hits 38 Usual day at the office for the moment. I wonder what kind of production capabilites Dave has left to himself! Burma I'am starting to withdraw out of Mandalay. That slaughter fest is not going anywhere. Dave has some 100 000 men at Mandalay + my intel shows 30 enemy units at Rangoon too. So, he seems to have sunstantial reserves brought into area. Allied CV TF's near Marianas Day Air attack on TF at 50,65 Allied aircraft FM-2 Wildcat x 99 F6F Hellcat x 121 Hellcat II x 16 SB2C Helldiver x 208 Barracuda x 21 TBM Avenger x 297 Avenger II x 13 Allied aircraft losses SB2C Helldiver: 1 damaged TBM Avenger: 1 damaged Japanese Ships AP Koshin Maru, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage DD Hamanami, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage DD Hayashimo, Bomb hits 7, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AP Achou Maru, Torpedo hits 5, on fire, heavy damage Japanese ground losses: 181 casualties reported Guns lost 7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 53,62 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 67 E7K2 Alf x 3 Ki-43-IIa Oscar x 34 Allied aircraft FM-2 Wildcat x 400 F6F Hellcat x 519 Hellcat II x 59 F4U-1D Corsair x 27 Corsair IV x 13 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 67 destroyed E7K2 Alf: 3 destroyed Ki-43-IIa Oscar: 34 destroyed Allied aircraft losses F6F Hellcat: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied Ships CVL Bataan CVL San Jacinto CV Formidable CVL Hermes, Kamikaze hits 1, on fire CVL Langley CVL Hermes did receive nasty hit. Sys damage, flooding and fires are +40. The ship is heading towards Iwo Jima now as do the rest of the fleet. Future plans: Actually there really is not many floating around. Now that Kadina is secured I think Japan is completely isolated. RN carrier force at India is quite substantial size now. The question what do with them??? Also now that I'am withdrawing out of Mandalay. It is a large army with some 200 000 men!!! Soviet Union??? When do the troops "double" their strenght?? I might consider joint operation with US + USSR once it becomes active. Basically nothing is confirmed for now. Dave has a lot of troops laying around and way too many transport vessels left.

aztez -> RE: Kadina falls in April 1945 (8/21/2007 8:30:50 PM)
Game date is 2nd of June 1945 Ok. The game is somewhat of an stalemate currently. I'am having troubles in decieding what to do.. a) My transport fleet is growing thin. The battles in earlier times are costly. b) My flanks in the CenPac region are NOT secured. This means that I need to cover my bases as I do advance with sizeable garrisons. c) Dave still have substantial CV assets somewhere in hiding. d) China is out of the war. Neither side has the strenght to battle it out. e) Dave is an excellent player! [&o] f) I have burned a lot supplies in the battles earlier. This was an suprise how much fuel and supplies you do need!!! Also this has taken out a lot of transport ships too. Here brief summary on what is ongoing. Currently I have withdrawn my ground troops out of Mandalay to Myithkina. I will propably start another offensive in Burma very soon though once my troops have rested a bit. RAF continues to bomb Rangoon and Mandalay daily. In CenPac I'am moving fuel and supplies ahead. Almost have piled up them quite nicely. Kadina is now also completely secured. Allied bombers have visited Singapore too. This was a first visit since the lost of Singapore. Day Air attack on Singapore , at 23,50 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 31 Ki-45 KAIc Nick x 18 Ki-84-Ic Frank x 32 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 444 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 19 destroyed Ki-45 KAIc Nick: 8 destroyed, 3 damaged Ki-84-Ic Frank: 10 destroyed, 13 damaged Ki-46-III Dinah: 3 destroyed G4M2 Betty: 2 destroyed C6N1-S Myrt: 7 destroyed D3A Val: 3 destroyed F1M2 Pete: 1 destroyed L1N1 Thora: 2 destroyed Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 24 destroyed, 93 damaged Japanese ground losses: 90 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Airbase hits 38 Airbase supply hits 5 Runway hits 121 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Singapore , at 23,50 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 8 Ki-45 KAIc Nick x 3 Ki-84-Ic Frank x 5 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 323 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 19 destroyed Ki-45 KAIc Nick: 10 destroyed Ki-84-Ic Frank: 9 destroyed C6N1-S Myrt: 5 destroyed Ki-46-III Dinah: 2 destroyed Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 2 destroyed, 25 damaged Japanese ground losses: 121 casualties reported Guns lost 4 Airbase hits 15 Airbase supply hits 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Singapore , at 23,50 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 4 Ki-61 KAIc Tony x 19 Ki-84-Ic Frank x 50 Ki-102a Randy x 21 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 292 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 1 damaged Ki-61 KAIc Tony: 3 destroyed, 13 damaged Ki-84-Ic Frank: 7 destroyed, 36 damaged Ki-102a Randy: 14 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 20 destroyed, 89 damaged Japanese Ships AK Havana Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Biyo Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire PC Showa Maru #5, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Tosei Maru, Bomb hits 1 AK Kasii Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage CA Myoko, Bomb hits 1 AK Nichiwa Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Kokoku Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AR Hitati Maru, Bomb hits 1 Japanese ground losses: 10 casualties reported Port hits 1 Runway hits 225 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Singapore , at 23,50 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 4 Ki-61 KAIc Tony x 6 Ki-84-Ic Frank x 19 Ki-102a Randy x 9 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 207 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 2 damaged Ki-61 KAIc Tony: 2 destroyed, 2 damaged Ki-84-Ic Frank: 2 destroyed, 12 damaged Ki-102a Randy: 5 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 7 destroyed, 33 damaged Japanese Ships PG Choko Maru #2, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Keizan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Yamakisan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kenzan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire SS I-180, Bomb hits 1 AR Nissin Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Amagisan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire DD Ushio, Bomb hits 1, on fire DD Kiyoshimo, Bomb hits 1, on fire DD Uzuki, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Nagano Maru, Bomb hits 1 Port hits 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Singapore , at 23,50 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 5 Ki-61 KAIc Tony x 9 Ki-84-Ic Frank x 19 Ki-102a Randy x 3 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 135 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 2 damaged Ki-61 KAIc Tony: 1 destroyed, 4 damaged Ki-84-Ic Frank: 1 destroyed, 5 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 2 destroyed, 22 damaged Japanese Ships CA Kinugasa, Bomb hits 2 PC Shisaka, Bomb hits 1, on fire DD Yunagi, Bomb hits 1 TK Terukawa Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Hakozaki Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Nanman Maru, Bomb hits 1 PC PC-144, Bomb hits 1, on fire AO Janbi Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Taiten Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Melbourne Maru, Bomb hits 1 Port hits 4 Well, IJN did not have CV's parked at Singapore that is now confirmed. Not too many places to hide them though so they are propably at Java or near Truk. Everywhere else is not safe. US/RN carrier fleet is ready for action in CenPac. RN Carriers are ready for action soon too. I'am eagerly awaiting for the Russians to start rolling into Manchuko. Daily resource bombing runs are made in Japan. Bulk of his industry is destroyed. I have also kept occasionally bombing resources at China, Manchuko and Thailand.

aztez -> RE: Kadina falls in April 1945 (8/22/2007 5:40:42 PM)
I have given some thought about future operations last night. The options were as follows: a) Formosa b) Korea c) China d) Luzon e) Operation Olympic Well.. the conclusion I came was that a through d wohn't serve any purpose. Allthough the landing at Korea would put more pressure on Manchuko area. BUT.. than again I hope Russians will survive by themselves. So, it is going to be Operation Olympic!!! I did already start preparing for this massive operation. It will involve a lot of troops and such it will take sometime to get things organized. Also my CV fleet will be in action as well as US BB TF's which have now left Pearl Harbour. Basically you are going to see invasion of the home islands!!! Also British troops will soon start moving againts Mandalay once more now better rested and prepped. This ought to get ugly soon enough.

aztez -> RE: Kadina falls in April 1945 (8/29/2007 6:12:35 PM)
Preparations are ongoing for the operation Olympic. The only question is where should I land with my armies!!! [image]local://upfiles/15617/8CAF223D693F446AA409D71DAED1D22E.jpg[/image]

aztez -> RE: Kadina falls in April 1945 (9/4/2007 5:59:57 PM)
The war continues its steady pace... Not much coming in terms of reinforcements. Game date is 7th of June 1945 The preparations continue for the Operation Olympic. Allied CV TF's visit Manila and inflict substantial casualties to the remaining Japanese airforce. These ought to hurt Dave. A couple of more suprises are in store for him soon. Day Air attack on Manila , at 43,52 Japanese aircraft J2M Jack x 19 C6N1-S Myrt x 21 Ki-43-IIa Oscar x 44 Ki-45 KAIc Nick x 9 Ki-100 Tony x 17 Ki-102a Randy x 38 Allied aircraft FM-2 Wildcat x 65 F6F Hellcat x 221 Hellcat II x 11 F4U-1D Corsair x 17 Corsair IV x 5 SB2C Helldiver x 176 Barracuda x 44 TBF Avenger x 6 TBM Avenger x 362 Avenger II x 13 Japanese aircraft losses J2M Jack: 2 destroyed C6N1-S Myrt: 17 destroyed Ki-43-IIa Oscar: 51 destroyed Ki-45 KAIc Nick: 4 destroyed Ki-100 Tony: 22 destroyed Ki-102a Randy: 46 destroyed A6M5 Zeke: 27 destroyed Allied aircraft losses F6F Hellcat: 18 destroyed, 10 damaged SB2C Helldiver: 1 destroyed Japanese ground losses: 400 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Airbase hits 20 Airbase supply hits 18 Runway hits 394 I have continued my Burma offensive which is definately bogged down at Mandalay. Look at the adjusted defensive strenght for the IJA!!! [X(][X(][X(] ...I mean these guys are bombed daily with everything I got!!! There are 90% of my B29's, etc etc BUT ... these strikes are not doing enough damage! [:(] Ground combat at Mandalay Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 183583 troops, 618 guns, 2567 vehicles, Assault Value = 3639 Defending force 74692 troops, 331 guns, 1 vehicles, Assault Value = 1611 Allied max assault: 3163 - adjusted assault: 1857 Japanese max defense: 1353 - adjusted defense: 7121 Allied assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 7) Japanese ground losses: 1707 casualties reported Guns lost 40 Allied ground losses: 4324 casualties reported Guns lost 48 Vehicles lost 19 I have continued the daily city raids over Japan. A lot of industry etc has been destroyed. The Russians will become active soon. (Some screenshots to follow)

aztez -> RE: June 1945 begins... (9/4/2007 6:50:16 PM)
Oh, and the operation Olympic will begin soon as my CV's get back from Luzon and refuel themselves. The initial landings site/sites are not yet determined. There are between 4 to 6 possible targets. Just need to pick the correct one/ones. The initial troop transports have already loaded.

Rob Brennan UK -> RE: June 1945 begins... (9/4/2007 7:59:11 PM)
LOL , inavde the HI while the poor old brits still havnt got mandalay [;)] BTW Bombing large stacks of troops does virtually no damage at all because the targets rotate as they get damaged, don't think theres aby way round it .. bar invade malaya from the sea. Has Japan got ANY HI left at all ? that raid on saigon 240 odd hits in one raid ! i'd hate to living in a japanese home island city right now.

[:D][:D] ...British army advance has been disappointing to say at least. Hopefully, I can overwhelm the IJA there IF not than at least I'am consuming his resources on armament etc. ...the invasion will begin very soon. Too bad that I have guard my flanks but cannot have all my way. Personally, I don't know whether I have an chance of succeeding with this but I'am doing this for fun. Hmmm. Right, the good old stacks! Definately, these stacks do work wonders in ground combat too. Also, I think you are correct that there is noway around it... BUT I will continue to bomb him because it ought to help sooner or later. [:D] .. I think Dave can produce HI outside Japan. (As the game mechanics allow him).. but I don't think there is much left in Japan. Except in Northern part of Home Islands. ..and the way Russian units look there wohn't be much left at Manchuko soon either.

Rob Brennan UK -> RE: June 1945 begins... (9/5/2007 6:44:30 PM)
Just a thought but have you pre-prepped the soviet land forces ? i think you can do it while they are neutral. I guess you proably have BUT i'd hate it if you forgot [;)]

They were earlier prepped for defensive positions but now these should be changed to offensive targets.

I think I can conquer Mandalay maybe within a month or so...! RAF + US Airforce has kept on their massive bombings runs here. (Allthough as you can see they really don't matter that much) Russians will enter the war soon. I do actually think that Dave has withdrawn sizeable forces to be used elsewhere.

Feinder -> RE: Operation Olympic.. US troops battle at Kagoshima (9/14/2007 9:46:39 PM)
With the combat replays, is is moving more guys in? My guess, esp with 3 day turns (correct?) and the rails in Japan, he can zoom in troops from all over Honshu in just a turn or two. -F-

quote: ORIGINAL: Feinder With the combat replays, is is moving more guys in?� My guess, esp with 3 day turns (correct?) and the rails in Japan, he can zoom in troops from all over Honshu in just a turn or two. -F- Yes, he is definately moving more troops into Kagoshima. I cannot prevent him due to 3 day turns. Actually both of us are... 2 Marine divisions are about land at Kagoshima within days. Plenty of supplies piled up for the units and a lot of it in reserve at Bonin's and Iwo Jima. The first Atomic Bomb will be dropped at Tokyo next turn!!! I guess this whole battle comes to supplies. He shouldn't have much left in the Home Islands. I have bombed the place last 6 months!!! ...and he cannot bring in additional supply convoys since Japan is completely blockaded from SRA and DEI. The question is how much does it matter whether he has tons of supplies or not!!!.. in my experience it really doesn't that much for the Japanese. My estimate on the battle at Kagoshima is an stalemate which basically means Japanese victory at this point. Unless.... something happens.. I think I need an miracle! [8\|] I guess the only way would be to seize Manchuko quickly and land some Russian units into Northern Japan. I doubt though that it will be too easy ride at Manchuko.

quote: ORIGINAL: Feinder Can you swing a second landing, somewhere that will force him to divide his troops? -F- I wish I could but the truth is that I cannot start another beach head... well I could but I cannot bring in adequate amount of troops. I propably could find maybe around 2000 assault points for the landings.. maybe a bit more but Japan has sizeable amount of troops in all parts. (At Kagoshima Dave has 50 units) You how good an player Dave is so another beach head is out of the question... Either I manage to break out here or I'am stuck. I wish I would have Chinese units available here but none are... neither are the Russians yet... British are stuck at Burma... Aussie's haven't made much headway in the South.
