hi andy, thanks for the AAR... this result from the day before Mandalay fell disturbs me... Ground combat at Mandalay (59,46) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 3905 troops, 174 guns, 89 vehicles, Assault Value = 1751 Defending force 40498 troops, 353 guns, 196 vehicles, Assault Value = 1000 Japanese adjusted assault: 20 Allied adjusted defense: 420 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 21 (fort level 0) Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(+), disruption(-), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 63 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 10 destroyed, 23 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 3 (0 destroyed, 3 disabled) Vehicles lost 37 (21 destroyed, 16 disabled) Allied ground losses: 2318 casualties reported Squads: 77 destroyed, 14 disabled Non Combat: 35 destroyed, 106 disabled Engineers: 3 destroyed, 2 disabled Guns lost 26 (4 destroyed, 22 disabled) Vehicles lost 24 (11 destroyed, 13 disabled) Firstly, the AI seems to routinely make attacks at WAY worse than 1:3 odds - and why not when results like this can happen? What commander would expect to get results like this if he is told he has 1:22 odds? (well, besides suicidal japanese army commanders [;)]) There must be way more factors at play here than the odds, but I'm having trouble identifying what they are....the attacker got this result with ZERO attack mods....perhaps the defender mods are incredibly detrimental? Thanks again...

Its a good question and the answer is complicated But here goes there are two broad phases with lots of sub phases in combat. The fire phase and the assault phase In the fire phase most of the casualties occur units fire at each other Arty is involved and units do most of the casualties The assault phase works out the odds My Mandalay Garrison had a mix of Indian 1941 Squads, Burmese Squads and Chinese Squads All of these squads are low firepower (the Indian 41 Squad is a speacial one which includes a lower firepwoer than TOE would indicate because they were not fully equiped at a Squad level) e.g. shortage of Brens (or even WW1 vintage Hotchkiss LMG's) and 2" Mortars - the Indian Army had expanded extremely quickly and even small arms had not kept up. Where units did have the better 42 Indian or British Squads they are in smaller units so have suffered a higher proportion of disablements Also the entire allied Corps (except the Chinese) had been retreated at least once some twice losing a lot of equipment in the process so they dont have many heavy guns left Lastly there is now a chance that units with low morale, high disruption, poor xp and inferior leaders will surrender - its a remote chance but small units with poor leaders and sub 50 experience - i.e. the Burmese Bns will on occasion just disintigrate when attacked After the first 6 months you will almost never see it because unit xp and leaders are better and it needs both to be piss poor to really impact. So lets take each combat in turn Allied forces have few tanks most of the Infantry units have AV but are in poor shape only 7th Armoured is anything like itself at this point and 5th Chinese Corrps Attack 1 Ground combat at Mandalay (59,46) Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 25035 troops, 332 guns, 234 vehicles, Assault Value = 1958 Defending force 49999 troops, 372 guns, 224 vehicles, Assault Value = 1399 Japanese adjusted assault: 355 Allied adjusted defense: 688 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 1) Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(+), experience(-) Attacker: shock(+) Japanese ground losses: 1151 casualties reported Squads: 7 destroyed, 63 disabled Non Combat: 24 destroyed, 58 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 74 (67 destroyed, 7 disabled) Allied ground losses: 3846 casualties reported Squads: 71 destroyed, 157 disabled Non Combat: 57 destroyed, 84 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 6 disabled Guns lost 31 (8 destroyed, 23 disabled) Vehicles lost 17 (7 destroyed, 10 disabled) Assaulting units: 10th Tank Regiment 5th Division 54th Division 4th RTA Division 113th Infantry Regiment 11th Tank Regiment 14th Tank Regiment 22nd Recon Regiment 148th Infantry Regiment 56th Recon Regiment 56th Infantry Regiment 29th Division 114th Infantry Rgt /7 56th Engineer Regiment 3rd Medium Field Artillery Regiment 15th Army 5th Mortar Battalion 56th Field Artillery Regiment 21st Medium Field Artillery Battalion 3rd Mortar Battalion 18th Medium Field Artillery Regiment 84th JAAF AF Bn Defending units: 48th Ghurka Brigade Rangoon BAF Battalion 1st Burma Division 46th Indian Brigade RM Viper Force 9th Burma Rifles Battalion 4th Burma Rifles Battalion 45th Indian Brigade 7th Armoured Brigade 10th Burma Rifles Battalion BFF Brigade 1st Gloucestershire Battalion Mandalay BMP Battalion Railway BAF Battalion 44th Indian Brigade 16th Indian Brigade 3rd Burma Rifles Battalion 5th Chinese Corps 104th RAF Base Force Burma Corps AVG Ground Echelon 103rd RN Base Force 221 Group RAF 108th RAF Base Force 103rd RAF Base Force 106th RAF Base Force 107th RAF Base Force 1st Burma Auxiliary AA Regiment 21st Light AA Regiment Look at the number of Burmese Bns Attack 2 Still all there but the Jap Arty is destroying the allied force despite that the Infantry and tanks cannot break through Ground combat at Mandalay (59,46) Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 55896 troops, 560 guns, 203 vehicles, Assault Value = 1877 Defending force 47040 troops, 362 guns, 217 vehicles, Assault Value = 1241 Japanese adjusted assault: 895 Allied adjusted defense: 724 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 1) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(+), disruption(-), experience(-) Attacker: shock(+) Japanese ground losses: 1861 casualties reported Squads: 14 destroyed, 124 disabled Non Combat: 13 destroyed, 94 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled Vehicles lost 35 (20 destroyed, 15 disabled) Allied ground losses: 8225 casualties reported Squads: 158 destroyed, 204 disabled Non Combat: 171 destroyed, 456 disabled Engineers: 4 destroyed, 17 disabled Guns lost 27 (15 destroyed, 12 disabled) Vehicles lost 86 (21 destroyed, 65 disabled) Assaulting units: 10th Tank Regiment 5th Division 14th Tank Regiment 56th Infantry Regiment 29th Division 56th Recon Regiment 22nd Recon Regiment 54th Division 113th Infantry Regiment 148th Infantry Regiment 4th RTA Division 11th Tank Regiment 114th Infantry Rgt /7 56th Engineer Regiment 3rd Mortar Battalion 18th Medium Field Artillery Regiment 3rd Medium Field Artillery Regiment 15th Army 56th Field Artillery Regiment 5th Mortar Battalion 21st Medium Field Artillery Battalion 84th JAAF AF Bn Defending units: Railway BAF Battalion 46th Indian Brigade 10th Burma Rifles Battalion Mandalay BMP Battalion Rangoon BAF Battalion 16th Indian Brigade 7th Armoured Brigade 45th Indian Brigade 1st Burma Division 9th Burma Rifles Battalion 1st Gloucestershire Battalion 3rd Burma Rifles Battalion BFF Brigade 4th Burma Rifles Battalion 44th Indian Brigade 48th Ghurka Brigade 5th Chinese Corps 108th RAF Base Force 103rd RN Base Force 103rd RAF Base Force 106th RAF Base Force Burma Corps 221 Group RAF AVG Ground Echelon 104th RAF Base Force 1st Burma Auxiliary AA Regiment 21st Light AA Regiment Attack 3 6 out of 7 Burmese Bns have surrendered or melted away the continual Japanese pressure has removed them fromt he fight and the Arty keeps on pounding.

Is it possible in the AI script to have it concerntrate construction engineers at the main captured economic assets to build up the port to max size to facilitate the loading of Oil and Resources?? In my limited time playing as Japan, I try to do this to help turn around time.

Andy Mac -> RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!! (5/28/2009 5:36:57 PM)
I believe so the air team would need to confirm Yes the AI scripts do concentrate engineer assets at the right places 2 issues 1. its named units so if destroyed the AI will not replace them 2. AI build everythign equally so I tend to go voerkill for a while but there are whole AI scripts dedicasted to moving engineers around from base to base ;)

Yeah I attacked deliberately !!! I could have run but ah well....

kfmiller41 -> RE: KB Spotted in Bay of Bengal !!!! (5/28/2009 9:43:18 PM)
It seems to me that the AI is attacking to cause Allied casualties which is wearing the allied troops down, is it also causing heavy losses for the AI? And would they be acceptable losses for a human player. Reason I ask is that in stock you can pretty much destroy your offensive ability with a couple of shock attacks, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Can you now (withing reason) have a blitz of sort's if you have a quality advantage but not a numbers advantage over your opponent? Like what Japan had in Malaya. Thanks for the great AAR also.
