John 3rd -> October 1944 VP--Industrial Report (2/23/2009 5:34:54 AM)
|
October 1, 1944
Victory Points and Economic Summary
Victory Points:
Score
Japan 56,459 (Up 747 Points)
Allies 73,300 (Up 5,661 Points)
Strategic Losses 12,974 (Up 2,268)
For the seventh month in a row I GAIN victory points. Considering everything that I lost during the month this isn’t too bad.
The Japanese are fully cleared out of Malaya and Indochina with a massive invasion of Japanese-held China coming next.
Strategic losses continue to mount but I have inflicted serious losses on the American effort. IT is grinding my economy down but I cans till knock down his aircraft in decent numbers…
Most of the month is spent preparing fro the invasion of Western India. Operation Furouka-Go has been initiated. It will take most of the month for the troops and Kaigun to get there so we’ll simply have to take it until then.
Ships Sunk
Japan 1,036—10,064 VP (up 155)—I lost 24 ships during September. Nearly all of these losses come from either the final evacuations from Malaya and Indochina or from the ASW War. These were my losses: 1 AD, 10 AK, 2 AP, 1 AS, 1 TK, 4 PC, 3 ML, 1 MSW, and 1 DD.
The lack of Japanese warships lost is a real indicator of my Fleet preparing for Downfall..
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, 108 DD, and 48 SS.
Allies 1,351---14,874 VP (up 91)---Dan also lost only 12 ships in September. Exact Losses are: 6 AK and 5 SS (Tambor, Statesman, Grampus, Hackleback, and Apogon).
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, 103 DD, and 76 SS.
ASW Attacks for September:
ASW Task Force: 10 (Down 1)
ASW Land-Based Air: 23 (up 7)
These are attacks that scored damage on an Allied SS. The fight is fast and furious right now. I am averaging sinking an Allied SS every 5 days and severely damaging another every 3-4 days. Seemingly this makes no difference but they are sinking!
Manchukuo Garrison---8,741---UP 135---(8,000 Needed)
Political Points---269
Units Transferred:
Ist Inf Div transferred to Southern Area Army heading for China.
Industrial Report
Supply 980,167--Down 107,351
Fuel 1,287,636—Down 71,000
Manpower 738 (1,322,249)—Up 46,000
Heavy Industry 12,861 (290,927)—HI Down 358 and surplus UP 9,000
Resources 11,137 (1,303,335)—Lost 863 Resource Centers---Strategic Bombing
Oil 1,712 (509,297)—Down 131 Oil Centers
Mixed economic bag as normal.
Supply is getting to be horrific. Very scarce.
I’ve got buckets of fuel and not enough oil. Normal story there.
Dan’s Strategic Bombing continues handing it to the resources. Don’t have a crisis here yet but trouble is on the horizon (figure 6 months or so).
Shipyards
Naval 1,178 (8)
Merchant 981 (3)
Repair 1,388
Carriers
Aso Combleted
Ikoma (23 Days)
7 DD were completed last month.
I have turned off about 50% of shipbuilding and will completely shutdown Merchant building this month. The ASW ships are still rolling off the ways so I’ll keep some of the naval yards running.
Weapons
Armament 787 (21,154)-Increase of 2 to the industry.
Vehicles 179 (14,056)
I have the stockpile growing. Thanks to Damian’s suggestion I am bringing the two areas into balance with each other. Will begin to shutdown some of the plants to help HI stockpile.
Aircraft
Engines 2,129 (up 39)
Assembly 1,771+(10-Rd)
Good news here as engines increased and production grew by 67 for the month. Considering the bombardment this is somewhat surprising.
Engine Production
Mitsubishi 685(135)—Need 958—445 in Pool
Nakajima 1,364(187)—Need 1,255---2,183 in Pool
Kawasaki 000---Need 22---94 in Pool
Aichi 80---Need 90---197 in Pool
Mitsubishi production grew and surplus expanded. Have nearly all bombers off right now. Increased the Naka pool by 300 over the previous month.

Have a few more units to upgrade to Frank but Army planes are now OK as Navy planes plummet due to heavy combat. Jacks and Georges expanded this month but stockpiles dropped to zero.
