Hi all, The past few days have seen action in most theatres. I'm at an IT event today so i'll add the CR bits needed at a later point. -------------------------- Siam/Malaya - Farcical action in Siam. This is surely crazy. After 2 months of ZERO supply and with my men in good order and supply and with the enemy constantly bombed he decimates 2/3 of my units which are now at 50-60% operational readiness. Crazy crazy. I am now leaving this INVINCIBLE Japanese force on the rail line for the rest of the war. I will leave a token force behind and the rest will move into Indo China. Look at this: Ground combat at 31,36 Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 124691 troops, 459 guns, 449 vehicles, Assault Value = 2686 Defending force 117166 troops, 6 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1946 Allied max assault: 2622 - adjusted assault: 1631 Japanese max defense: 1220 - adjusted defense: 157 Allied assault odds: 10 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 1768 casualties reported Guns lost 3 Allied ground losses: 5577 casualties reported Guns lost 63 Vehicles lost 5 The first attack at Singapore goes fairly well. Progress is made and we rest a few more days before going again. -------------------------- SRA - SS Sturgeon had a successful couple of days. She attacked ML Okinoshima east of Hainan hitting her with a torpedo. The large Minelayer didn't appear heavily damaged though so Sturgeon continued to track her west and attacked her again the following day hitting her with another torpedo which left her dead in the water (Faber docked her at Kiungahan (sp?)) SS I-13 heavily damaged an AK returning from San Jose. She may beach at San Jose. Allied forces are embarking at Kuching for Taan............ ------------------- CentPac - Tokyo has been subjected to massive air attacks for the past 2 days. Over 180 enemy fighters have been lost (for 40 x P51D's). Over 600 B29 sorties have heavily damaged HI, Resource, Merhcant, Naval and Repair Shipyards (1400 Strategic points!) I am amazed at this destruction. It mean i'm only 20K away from a 2:1 victory and if this carries on I may end the war with Strategic bombing within 3 months....... Lae, Buna, Arawe, Finshafen and Gasmata have fallen to Allied forces.
