ORIGINAL: irrelevant We can't really tell what is happening unless you post a screenshot from an assault combat result. I must note that Saipan's fort level has finally fallen a notch. It went from level 9 to a level 8 What we really need to see is the combat report. The combatreport.txt from the turn in which you made your latest deliberate assault. We need to see the Assault Values for both sides, plus the Adjusted Assault and Adjusted Defense. We need to see what kind of modifiers you have going. I expect your LCUs have lots of disabled squads, particularly in combat engineers. You probably have high fatigue and disruption. Your support is probably in the red. Your are prepped for Saipan, right?[;)] HQ present and prepped? Amphib HQ on an AGC in the hex? I see you have taken Tinian; excellent. You need to create a couple of Bombardment TFs using old BBs and CAs. Shuttle them in and out of Tinian, replenishing one while the other is bombarding Saipan (be sure you have both supplies and fuel at Tinian; you need both to support bombardment groups). Bombarding every turn, you will quickly smoke his support squads and supplies, which will pretty much put an end to his staying power. Bombard the crap out of him for a few turns while your LCUs rest up a bit (set the pure artillery units to bombard). You can do ground support air strikes from Tinian once you start doing assaults again, but the naval bombardments are far more powerful for killing supplies and support squads. Bring up a big transport TF with AKs full of supply. Dump about 100k supplies on Saipan for your LCUs to suck up. If they get enough supply they will attack at double AV. Keep them supplied up. Read this thread . Why didn't I know all this stuff at the beginning[:D][:D][:D]. As I have posted I have been on Saipan for over 3 months. Much of what you have listed here I learned the hard way during this particular adventure. Let me go over what you listed here. Tinian: This was the big one. I was bleeding the he11 out of my navy until I took it. Old BBs: check Set the PURE art to bombard: no check for me here I have been setting anything that can bombard to bombard[&o] Ground support air to bombard from tinian: check big transport with supplies: check high fatigue and disruption: learned my lesson, not soon enough support is plentiful since big transport. prepped for Saipan: since the beginning Amp HQ on AGC: nope Amp HQ on land[&o] overall information in your post[&o][&o][&o][&o][&o][:)] Saipan is now falling fast. Fort is going down 1 about every other turn now. It is currently at 5. It started at 9.
