John 3rd -> August 1944: Industrial and VP Report (1/28/2009 6:08:54 AM)
|
August 1, 1944
Victory Points and Economic Summary
Victory Points:
Score
Japan 55,168 (Up 942 Points)
Allies 60,163 (Up 5,934 Points)
Strategic Losses 9,046 (Up 2,202)
For the fifth month in a row I GAIN victory points. It seems positive to me.
Fully 33% of Dan’s point gain comes in the area of strategic losses. This has been slowed with my resurgent aerial battle over Japan and now Manchuria.
Malaya and Indochina will be over within 1-2 weeks. This will give Dan a crapload of victory points with Singapore, Saigon, and Bangkok due to fall. Only positive thing about this is that I pulled out 600,000 troops and it didn’t happen FOUR months ago. Will never understand why he hesitated.
Noumea fell and the Allies slowly begin moving against other empty SE Pacific bases.
The Allied army on Wake simply sits there as I ran in several AK with supplies as well as have 100+ bomber and torpedo bombers hitting the Americans every day.
Unlike the wild month of June, the Japanese were pretty passive as the Fleet (ALL of it) sits in/at Soerabaja upgrading and repairing. I have—literally upgraded the entire Fleet from CVs down to DDs. The work should be done about August 10th and then the Fleet will sail to its final destiny…
Ships Sunk
Japan 951—9,441 VP (up 477)—I lost 66 ships during July. Considering the heavy fighting in Malaya and my withdrawal from Saigon/Singapore these numbers are no surprise. These were my losses: 30 AP, 17 AK, 1 AR, 5 MSW, 3 PG, 3 AG, 1 MLE, 1 AV and I-154.
The lack of Japanese warships lost is a real indicator of my Fleet sitting in Java.
Major Japanese Vessels Sunk to Date---CV Junyo, Hiyo, Hiryu, and Katsuragi, BB Fuso, Yamashiro, Mutsu, Nagato, Musashi, and Yamato, BC Kirishima, Haruna, and Kongo, 6 CA , 14 CL, 107 DD, and 47 SS.
Allies 1,326---14,683 VP (up 165)---Dan also lost only 19 ships in June. Exact Losses are: 11 AK, 1 PT, CL Newfoundland, 3 DD, and 3 SS (Porpoise, Tautog, and Sea Horse)
Major Allied Vessels Sunk---CVs Enterprise, Lexington, Hornet, Wasp and Intrepid, CVL Langley, 6 CVE, BBs Colorado, West Virginia, Idaho, Tennessee, Arizona, Prince of Wales, Alabama, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Mississippi, BC Renown, 15 CA, 10 CL, 102 DD, and 66 SS.
ASW Attacks for July:
ASW Task Force: 7 (down 22)
ASW Land-Based Air: 5 (down 14)
These are attacks that scored damage on an Allied SS and they dropped due to a number of SS being pulled out of the theatre for a 2-3 week period of time. Only in the last days of July did the action heat-up again.
Manchukuo Garrison---8,602---UP 103---(8,000 Needed)
Political Points---1,845
Units Transferred:
Pulled 8th Infantry Division and 4th Ind Brigade from Pusan for 4th Fleet. They have business assigned to them (VERY secret).
Converted 10 AA units from Manchuria and China to 4th Fleet and deployed them to Japan.
Industrial Report
Supply 1,228,864--Down 197,064
Fuel 1,448,078—Up 186,881
Manpower 744 (1,228,864)—Down 15,573
Heavy Industry 14,003 (274,774)—HI Down 300 and surplus DOWN 2,962
Resources 13,273 (1,559,330)—Lost 1,143 Resource Centers---Strategic Bombing…
Oil 1,888 (322,606)—Down 375 Oil Centers
My supply problem appears to be lessoning thanks to Michael and few other people’s help. It will take time for the Home Islands to gain some decent stockpiles of supply. Considering I have two large Convoys unloading 400,000 Oil and 150,000 Resources right now, these numbers will problem go up in the coming month.
With the CAP reclaiming portions of Japan I HOPE to see improvements.
HI pretty well held steady for the month with only a slight decline. Several Naval Shipyards, Merchant Shipyards, and Repair Yards were partially closed starting in June. In July I added vehicles and aircraft repair to partially closed down.
Shipyards
Naval 1,241 (71)—Lost 12 yard points to Strategic Bombing.
Merchant 981 (8,710)—Stockpile coming down.
Repair 1,477—Up 2 but the only ones being used are Shanghai, Cebu, Soerabaja, and Manila.
Carriers
Kasagi (22 Days--Normal)
Aso (63 Days--Accel)
Ikoma (125 Days)
Ibuki (21 Days--Accel)
CL Sakawa (20 Days—Accel)
8 DD will be produced within the next two weeks.
Weapons
Armament 785 (6,909)-Increase of 7 to the industry.
Vehicles 179 (8,278)
Armament plants increasing in Manchuria and Korea. Had another mass influx of new units. Some came in at cadre strength but the rest are solid. I have a slight stockpile growing.
Vehicles dropped by 10,000! I got a new Armored Division at full strength and have 2 Armored Divisions in Java that are now at about 75%.
Aircraft
Engines 2,065 (up 51)
Assembly 1,711+(41-Rd)
My engines are busy shifting over from Kawasaki to Naka and Mitsu.
Assembly dropped 58 and Research plummeted due to MISTER Frank, Peggy, and Randy starting production last month. Last month I made the mistake of shifting a number of factories into researching J7W Shinden so Research will start to rise again over time.
Engine Production
Mitsubishi 638(142)—Need 866—620 in Pool
Nakajima 1,347(244)—Need 1,308---1,488 in Pool
Kawasaki 000---Need 4---130 in Pool
Aichi 80---Need 90---142 in Pool
Big changes in the engine area with those new planes coming online. SHOULD have enough stockpiled as Nakajima expand. I’ve shutdown enough bomber plants that the deficit in Mitsubishi SHOULD improve fairly quickly.

Frank 1c 0-Rd (12/44)
A6M8 0-Rd (06/45)
J7W-Shinden 3-Rd (08/45)
Naval fighters stay in pretty good shape because I am producing three main models; however, I shifted one plant of each to research Shinden. This occurred before the supply crisis and I regret that choice.
The Army side finally fixes itself with Frank in mass production! I am literally converting a Sentai to Franks every other day! They are providing me a fighting chance…
Bombers
Betty 0 (171)

Peggy 178 (27) 3 months early.
Betty 2e 38-Rd (10/44)
My Bombers look excellent as Peggy, Grace, and Randy enter service. I have shutdown over50% of Judy, Frances, and Peggy production to help with HI and supply.
