On the AV going up, could it be the experiance gain is greater then the loss of troops? From what I have seen AV is affected by experiance just as much as quantity.

Possibly, but i think there is a max amount of exp troops get from being bombed or bombarded... in the 60-65 range, iirc. Probably the Chinese troops (which have undergone assault many times by now) have exceeded this level...

2 subs sank today counting the Plunger which was damaged a few days ago. AV at Chungking continues to go the wrong way. They have been under attack for 17 months so I doubt it is experience causing the increase. Every few months the AV seems to hit a support level that takes a while to break through. One thorey is that the base stockpiles supply until there is enough for everyone then distributes it. This would cause wide variations in the AV and supply levels AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 11/07/43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32 Japanese aircraft Ki-21 Sally x 118 Ki-49 Helen x 223 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 224 casualties reported Airbase hits 20 Airbase supply hits 5 Runway hits 285 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 8th Base Force, at 62,88 Allied aircraft B-25J Mitchell x 122 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 31 casualties reported ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 8th Base Force, at 62,88 Allied aircraft Liberator VI x 146 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 67 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack at 63,47 Japanese Ships DD Ikazuchi DD Asagumo DD Arashio DD Akigumo Allied Ships SS Tautog -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 13379 troops, 439 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1930 Defending force 284982 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 9751 Allied ground losses: 110 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Maloelap Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 2345 troops, 71 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 281 Defending force 5031 troops, 0 guns, 19 vehicles, Assault Value = 53 Japanese ground losses: 99 casualties reported Vehicles lost 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 11/08/43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack at 41,55 Japanese Ships AK Nishi Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage CA Takao Allied Ships SS Grampus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack at 60,46 Japanese Ships MSW W.4 PC Ch 21 PC Ch 5 PC Ch 4 PC Takunan Maru #10 PC Shonon Maru #11 PC Shonan Maru #2 PC Sonan Maru #6 PC Nichi Maru #1 PC Kyo Maru #12 PC Fumi Maru #3 PG Zuiko Maru PG Toyotsu Maru PG Shosei Maru PG Santos Maru PG Seiko Maru DD Niizuki Allied Ships SS Gunnel, hits 10, on fire, heavy damage Sunk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32 Japanese aircraft Ki-21 Sally x 130 Ki-49 Helen x 218 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 442 casualties reported Airbase hits 9 Airbase supply hits 11 Runway hits 331 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Maloelap , at 82,81 Allied aircraft P-38G Lightning x 5 No Allied losses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Maloelop Base Force, at 82,81 Allied aircraft PB4Y Liberator x 13 B-24D Liberator x 36 B-24J Liberator x 16 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 13 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 8th Base Force, at 62,88 Allied aircraft B-25J Mitchell x 173 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 84 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 8th Base Force, at 62,88 Allied aircraft Liberator VI x 56 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 13 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 44th Naval Guard Unit, at 82,81 Allied aircraft F4U-1 Corsair x 2 Boomerang II x 4 PB4Y Liberator x 36 B-24D Liberator x 281 B-24J Liberator x 96 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 591 casualties reported ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Saigon at 31,46 Japanese Ships TK Nichirin Maru, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage TK Teiyo Maru MSW Ranzan Maru MSW Banshu Maru #56 MSW Ataka Maru MSW W.26 MSW W.25 MSW W.11 MSW W.9 MSW W.8 MSW W.7 MSW W.6 MSW W.5 MSW W.1 MSW Wa 14 MSW Wa 10 DD Michishio Allied Ships SS Robalo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 13393 troops, 437 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1932 Defending force 284422 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 9774 Allied ground losses: 289 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Maloelap Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 2340 troops, 72 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 306 Defending force 4089 troops, 0 guns, 18 vehicles, Assault Value = 39 Japanese ground losses: 153 casualties reported Vehicles lost 1

Tom, Are you sure you can afford to let all these bases be captured by the Allies while you wait for an opportunity to capture Chungking?? What happens if you are unable to capture it and Ken runs over some other bases??

RUPD3658 -> RE: Samo/Dili/Sorong Fall (2/21/2007 10:48:20 PM)
The seige of Chungking is not weakening my forces elsewhere. All units involved are CEF or Kwangtung. I have about 18K worth of AV in China now and I am waiting for about 3K worth of reinforcements before attcking. They will arrive in about 60 days then need to be moved into place. I am hoping to have worn the defenders down to about 8K AV by then. I am allowing Kenny to take bases that I am willing to lose. When he hits one that I need to hold he will get one hell of a fight. [;)] I also have a suprize or two left in me.

RUPD3658 -> Progress or Luck at Chungking? (2/23/2007 8:40:13 AM)
Probing attack at Chungking had an interesting result. The adjusted AV was only 154% above base AV vs 254% and 290% for previous attacks. In another couple of weeks I will have to try again to see if this was just a lucky die roll or real progress. Kenny did a frontal assault at Lunga. Same predictable results as far as the distribution of mine hits. Results are too common to be coincidence. Not something to get all up in arms about but definitly something in the code is causing it to happen.

kilowatts -> RE: Progress or Luck at Chungking? (2/23/2007 4:38:59 PM)
Here's a thought... IIRC the manual says that a ships speed is a factor in determining the likelihood of a hit from a bomb or shell. I've seen indications of this when air-strikes hit TF's; Getting the first hit on a ship is difficult, especially on a DD. Once the ship has taken some sys damage to reduce the speed then the hits follow quickly. This might well have affected the Parigi combat by: 1) The inital mine hits reduced her speed (probably close to 0) so that she was a sitting duck for the CD guns. She wasn't necessarily targetted more. She just got hit more often. 2) Perhaps the possibility of mine hits are also calculated using the same routine and using speed as a factor in determining hit possibility? This might explain the hit clustering. Once you've hit one mine you're more likely to hit another because your speed is lower.

RUPD3658 -> RE: Progress or Luck at Chungking? (2/23/2007 5:44:18 PM)
Could be but you would figure that after the 3rd or 4th mine hits she would not be moving at all. I still picture the ship hitting a mine then flying through the air Wile E. Coyote-like, landing on another mine, flying through the air, landing on a another mine, ect. I guess I should be happy that I am sinking 1 ship rather than damaging 7-8. [:)] It is definilty something in the routine but it does not happen every time. Not a big deal but odd.
