Speedysteve -> End of October 1944....... (9/29/2013 5:39:33 PM)
Hi all, October saw decent Allied progress on the ground. Both Tinian and Guam fell. The first B29 raids were launched on the HI. Progress in southern SRA saw Manado, Morotai and Talaud-Eilanden fall in preparation for the Mindanao invasions in November. Malaya has also been strengthened with Malacca being made a fortress as troops march southwards to Johore and Singapore. November will, hopefully, see the re-capture of Singapore, Mindanao being invaded and troops on there way in CentPac for the next set of invasions. After initial air raids on Japan I aim to rack up thousands of VP's this month on Strat bombing alone! The Sub War continues the same as September with fewer attacks than before due to the continuing reduction of the Japanese Empire. In terms of reinforcements. In the air P51D's are the best addition along with B29-25's. On the sea BB Missouri, New York, Arkansas along with 2 x CL, 2 x CLAA and 8 x SS are the highlights. ----------------------------------- Points: Allies: +3,590 points Japanese: +598 points Bases: Allies: +9 (+982 points) Japanese: -9 (-131 points) Planes: Allies: +435 lost Japanese: +428 lost Troops: Allies: +147 lost Japanese: +1,222 lost Ships: Allies: +11 lost (+147 points. 5 x SS, 2 by Subs, a bunch by collision and hitting reefs.) Japanese: +43 lost (+477 points. Half of these by subs and the other by airpower). Allied Strat points: +480 points ------------------------ Sub Kills: 16 of 27 attacks were successful = 59.26% success. Dutch Boats: PB - 5 (1 mine) AK - 35 TK - 10 CM - 6 DD - 4 TB - 1 DMS - 3 E - 1 APD - 1 ACM - 1 AP - 1 AMC - 1 AR - 1 (+1) = 70 ships ------------------------------- British Boats: DD - 1 (1 mine) AK - 13 (1 mine) (+2) SC - 2 (+1) PB - 2 TK - 2 AO - 1 SS - 3 (2 mine) DMS - 1 (1 mine) = 25 ships ------------------------------- Fleet Boats: AK - 307 (+12) SC - 28 (+3) AP - 15 PB - 53 TK - 75 (+2) AKE - 1 CM - 6 ACM - 2 E - 33 APD - 2 DD - 11 (+2) CL - 1 (Oi) AO - 8 (-1) PC - 1 AMC - 1 AV - 2 AM - 1 (1 mine) SS - 3 (+1) DMS - 4 CVE - 1 (Chuyo) = 554 ships -------------------------------- S-Boats: AK - 22 (+1) AP - 2 CM - 1 PB - 5 DMS - 1 SC - 7 TK - 4 = 42 ships = 691 ships = 52.43% of reported sunk ships total.

Looking good Speedy! [:)]

Speedysteve -> RE: End of October 1944....... (9/29/2013 6:18:29 PM)
Thanks. I'm hopeful I could try and get enough VP's to get a major victory by the end of the year. I'll need 25,000 more VP's for that. That would mean 12,500 per month. It's a real ambitious aim but I wonder if Strat bombing could make it. I netted 1800 VP's in the first 5 days of November as is.......

It's actually less than I thought as I believe a decisive victory is 1.75 the enemies score? If so 17k points to go.....

Speedysteve -> 1-6th November 1944 (10/1/2013 1:39:52 PM)
Hi all, The first week of November passes with it being fairly quiet with Allied Troops embarking for upcoming invasions. The only other action of note was B29 raids and progress on land in Malaya. CentPac: Almost all necessary shipping is either back or repaired at PH for the next 2 invasions. Troops will begin embarking on 8th November. I'll detail the invasions in the next update. B29's launched a couple of fairly devastating raids in early November on the Osaka Manpower conglomeration. Fires raged and were not extinguished until 7th November. During this time damage was caused across many industries netting 2150 VP's for the Allies. Unfortunately, the long range and presence of 20-50 fighters on CAP causes many of the B29's to be damaged or need maintenance. As such for every 2 days of raids I need 4 or 5 or so of rest! Further BG's are appearing in the US now and will ultimately base at Guam to begin relay raids with the other B29's on Tinian. The first raid on Nagoya was launched on 6th November. A follow up will be launched on the 7th: Morning Air attack on Nagoya , at 111,60 Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 18,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 25 minutes Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 49 Allied aircraft B-29-1 Superfort x 50 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses B-29-1 Superfort: 4 damaged Manpower hits 46 Fires 26910 ----------------------- SRA: Quiet here as troops embark at Ambon for Mindanao. ----------------------- Malaya/Sumatra: I don't mention these much nowadays but Siberoet based B29's continue to spread the love on enemy held Oil and Industry centres across the SRA. Soerabaya received the love recently knocking oil production down to 1/3 recently. I decided to attack the surrounded Jap at Praboemoelih on the 5th with VERY disappointing results: Ground combat at Praboemoelih (48,92) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 33733 troops, 579 guns, 733 vehicles, Assault Value = 1003 Defending force 63689 troops, 956 guns, 827 vehicles, Assault Value = 1651 Allied adjusted assault: 792 Japanese adjusted defense: 785 Allied assault odds: 1 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 1780 casualties reported Squads: 10 destroyed, 81 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 37 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 25 disabled Guns lost 39 (3 destroyed, 36 disabled) Allied ground losses: 2740 casualties reported Squads: 93 destroyed, 330 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 83 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 38 disabled Guns lost 49 (5 destroyed, 44 disabled) Vehicles lost 41 (2 destroyed, 39 disabled) ------------------ Malaya: Johore was reached on the 4th and an attack went in successfully on the 5th (despite me forgetting to change the mode to Attack = idiot!): Ground combat at Johore Bahru (50,83) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 81977 troops, 1730 guns, 1676 vehicles, Assault Value = 3140 Defending force 10518 troops, 79 guns, 43 vehicles, Assault Value = 167 Allied adjusted assault: 1060 Japanese adjusted defense: 127 Allied assault odds: 8 to 1 (fort level 0) Allied forces CAPTURE Johore Bahru !!! Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+) Attacker: op mode(-) Japanese ground losses: 3234 casualties reported Squads: 64 destroyed, 19 disabled Non Combat: 217 destroyed, 196 disabled Engineers: 122 destroyed, 8 disabled Guns lost 67 (48 destroyed, 19 disabled) Vehicles lost 49 (44 destroyed, 5 disabled) Units retreated 4 Units destroyed 1 Allied ground losses: 726 casualties reported Squads: 5 destroyed, 101 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 18 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 16 disabled Guns lost 16 (1 destroyed, 15 disabled) Defeated Japanese Units Retreating! Assaulting units: 29th British Brigade 2nd British Division 45th Recce Regiment 111th Chindit Brigade 18th Cavalry Regiment 11th (East African) Division 23rd Chindit Brigade 81st (West African) Division 44th (Support) Battalion 150th RAC Regiment 28th (East African) Brigade 26th Indian Brigade 16th British Brigade Provisionl Tank Brigade 209th Combat Engineer Battalion 14th British Brigade Gardner's Horse Regiment 22nd (East African) Brigade 5th Indian Division 134th (East Ang) Regiment 87th Medium Regiment 86th Medium Regiment 85th Medium Regiment 18th SP Field Artillery Regiment 32nd Indian Mountain Gun Regiment 122nd British AT Gun Regiment Defending units: 14th Ind.Mixed Regiment 29th JNAF AF Unit 5th JAAF AF Coy 5th Field AF Construction Battalion 93rd JAAF AF Bn 3rd Air Division 12th Base Force 180th JAAF AF Bn On to Singers we go! -------------------------- Submarine Warfare: 2 x dud/missed attack. SS O23 damaged TK Shimpo Maru with a torpedo near Balabac on the 2nd November. SS Triton blew up AKL Dalakita Maru SW of Japan on the 6th. On the other side SS Terrapin was sunk off Balabac on the 6th.

Normally this would be a Decisive Allied Victory, but since it is ending due to time expiring in 1946, it shifts to a Draw. I read this as that the Allies have to achieve AV or the best they can hope for is a draw ...

It's a real ambitious aim but I wonder if Strat bombing could make it. I netted 1800 VP's in the first 5 days of November as is....... It is a ratio Speedy .. so I might propose that the denominator is far more important than the numerator. That is Strat bombing will certainly increase the numerator but each point taken away from the IJ is really 2 points toward the AV goal. Let us say I have 10 VP's and the IJ 8 VP's a 1.25 ratio .. I take one IJ point away and I boost my ratio to 1.43! If I gain a VP keeping the IJ points stable (11/8) I only boost my ratio to 1.38. Demonstrating the power of the denominator in this equation. Just add one VP and take one away 11/7 boost the ratio to 1.57....This is what happens when bases are taken. Now clearly we are looking at much bigger numbers.. but this example demonstrates taking bases valuable to the IJ where a thousand or so VP's can be subtracted from the denominator with some Allied VP gain to the numerator. Find the bases with big IJ multipliers and you accomplish this goal. The optimization of this process are the bases that are big Allied/IJ multipliers that swing the ratios on both ends .. like Hong Kong and Singapore. One thing I do early on in the war is build up all the US bases. This increases the IJ's denominator making their AV a little harder .. but at the end of the war it adds a slight gain to the numerator and every point counts ..

No matter the VP accumulated by his opponent.

Ah. Thanks guys. This is very useful information and even though I re-read this part of the manual when I posted above it seems I mis-understood! Hmm. I wonder if I will make it to AV at Jan 1st 1945 then. I would say it's quite unlikely now then.....darn.

Speedysteve -> 7-13th November 1944 (10/8/2013 12:05:10 PM)
Hi all, CentPac: Little of note here. B29's hit Nagoya on the 7th and 8th November causing upto 45000 fires. Over the following days damage was caused to industry and resources (netting me about 700 VP's) however the presence of over 50 fighters (causing 13 x B29 losses) and the long distance has led to a stand down afterwards as the planes need repair and maintenance. My next invasions are due in the next few weeks as all necessary shipping has now left PH heading WNW. Updates soon I promise! -------------------- SRA: The final troops of 32nd Infantry Division are still loading at Ambon for the Mindanao invasion. Ships should set sail on either the 14th or 15th November. In Malaya Allied troops stormed the Singapore Causeway on 11th November. I'm actually pretty happy with the result and the first deliberate attack will go in tomorrow. Here's the Causeway assault: Ground combat at Singapore (50,84) Allied Shock attack Attacking force 81438 troops, 1729 guns, 1676 vehicles, Assault Value = 3054 Defending force 34530 troops, 239 guns, 244 vehicles, Assault Value = 601 Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 5 Allied adjusted assault: 919 Japanese adjusted defense: 641 Allied assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 5) Allied Assault reduces fortifications to 5 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), forts(+), experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: shock(+), disruption(-) Japanese ground losses: 3810 casualties reported Squads: 21 destroyed, 405 disabled Non Combat: 21 destroyed, 104 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 19 disabled Guns lost 48 (24 destroyed, 24 disabled) Vehicles lost 16 (4 destroyed, 12 disabled) Units destroyed 1 Allied ground losses: 5036 casualties reported Squads: 72 destroyed, 635 disabled Non Combat: 6 destroyed, 156 disabled Engineers: 12 destroyed, 97 disabled Guns lost 97 (10 destroyed, 87 disabled) Vehicles lost 94 (3 destroyed, 91 disabled) Assaulting units: 45th Recce Regiment 14th British Brigade 29th British Brigade 28th (East African) Brigade 11th (East African) Division 44th (Support) Battalion 16th British Brigade 23rd Chindit Brigade 26th Indian Brigade Gardner's Horse Regiment 18th Cavalry Regiment 2nd British Division 22nd (East African) Brigade 209th Combat Engineer Battalion 81st (West African) Division Provisionl Tank Brigade 150th RAC Regiment 111th Chindit Brigade 5th Indian Division 18th SP Field Artillery Regiment 87th Medium Regiment 32nd Indian Mountain Gun Regiment 134th (East Ang) Regiment 86th Medium Regiment 85th Medium Regiment 122nd British AT Gun Regiment Defending units: 49th Ind.Mixed Brigade 5th INA Regiment 3rd INA Azad Regiment 56th Naval Guard Unit 47th Ind.Mixed Brigade 14th Ind.Mixed Regiment 25th Ind.

I'm actually quite happy with this to get the Japs out of the their forts. I have a strong division behind level 4 forts at Malacca to guard against any Jap incursion. A screenshot of the area is below All invasion shipping and SC/CV TF's have finished unloading at Malacca and are heading back to Colombo/Ramree Island to refuel, re-arm and pick up more troops before heading back to Malaya. A scatter of air raids and sweeps over Mindanao, Balikpapan and Batavia net about 50 enemy planes and 5 or so support vessels destroyed for the loss of 15 friendlies. --------------------- Submarine Warfare: 1 x dud/missed attack. SS Haddock sank SC Ch 51 west of Japan on the 7th November. SS Herring sank E No. 32 but was lost in return SW of Japan on the 9th. Haddock was in action again on the 10th sinking SC Ch 3.

Speedy, the way I read the rules you have until 46 to achieve a 2:1 advantage? Regarding the B29 bombings. Try switching to night time bombings instead. Its a lot slower but you will lose perhaps 3-4 B29s instead of 30-40!

Speedysteve -> RE: 7-13th November 1944 (10/8/2013 10:01:54 PM)
I'm really not sure on he rules anymore tbh![&:] With regard to B29's. I don't normally lose too many (enough to keep the pools dry though) but it's more down to wear and tear and the long repair rates = pain!

Speedysteve -> 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 2:29:47 PM)
Hi all, CentPac: The next round of invasions will kick off in the next 10 days or so. I'll detail the plan in a separate post next. The next Air raid on Japan was the first Night Raid by B29's against Tokyo on the 19th. It was very fragmented and about 30 x B29 bombed in small fragments as 40 planes didn't find the target. There were no Jap fighters on CAP though and only 1 x B29 was lost to flak = good. Damage was slight though with 3500 fires still burning next day and 13 x Manpower, 26 x Resources, 127 x HI and 105 x LI being damaged. The boys will try again tomorrow night with 72 x Saipan based B29 still active. Guam's B29 force should be up and running with a week. --------------------- SRA: The Mindanao invasion fleets are 2 days away from H-Hour. There's no real Jap air threat in the region at present with Allied LBA dominating the region from Manado and Talaud-Eilanden. Manado's B24's raided Balikpapan's port on the 15th sinking 2 x PB, 3 x AK and 2 x SC. I decided to attack at Prabomoelih again on the 19th with disappointing results. I don't understand why this is to be honest as the Jap's have been out of supply for over a month and sustaining 100's of casualties every day from LBA. I'll be resting a fair bit again before attacking: Ground combat at Praboemoelih (48,92) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 32912 troops, 578 guns, 733 vehicles, Assault Value = 899 Defending force 59199 troops, 893 guns, 809 vehicles, Assault Value = 1414 Allied adjusted assault: 459 Japanese adjusted defense: 304 Allied assault odds: 1 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 2210 casualties reported Squads: 128 destroyed, 66 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 54 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 7 disabled Guns lost 73 (19 destroyed, 54 disabled) Vehicles lost 4 (1 destroyed, 3 disabled) Allied ground losses: 3123 casualties reported Squads: 73 destroyed, 298 disabled Non Combat: 4 destroyed, 67 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 27 disabled Guns lost 61 (4 destroyed, 57 disabled) Assaulting units: 11th Airborne Division 364th(Sep) Infantry Regiment 711th Tank Battalion 100th Indian Brigade 1st Filipino Inf Regiment 14th Canadian Brigade 706th Tank Battalion 82nd (West African) Division 99th Indian Brigade 88th Medium Regiment 48th Aviation Base Force 126th RAF Base Force I US Corps 46th Construction Regiment 76th Coast AA Regiment 182nd USAAF Base Force 341 Wing Defending units: 138th Infantry Regiment 6th Guards Inf.

Field Artillery Battalion 34th Road Const Co 97th JAAF AF Bn --------------------- Malaya: The Jewel in the East was re-taken by British forces on the 19th November. It's a great victory against a dispirited and under-supplied enemy. It's a real nice VP swing as well and. of course, provides a very strategic base for me to base my fleets from: Ground combat at Singapore (50,84) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 77972 troops, 1718 guns, 1676 vehicles, Assault Value = 2489 Defending force 22015 troops, 114 guns, 229 vehicles, Assault Value = 31 Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 1 Allied adjusted assault: 1172 Japanese adjusted defense: 279 Allied assault odds: 4 to 1 (fort level 1) Allied forces CAPTURE Singapore !!!

Field Artillery Battalion 22nd Port Unit 180th JAAF AF Bn The boys need to rest and recover but I'll soon start to plan as to where to send these troops to next. The initial option seems to be: 1.) Up the rest of Malaya. 2.) Borneo. 3.) Indo-China. I'm currently veering towards option 3 as it will cut off (if I take the rail line south of Bangkok/Saigon) the Jap troops in Burma and Malaya. Thoughts? ------------------------ Submarine Warfare: 1 x dud/missed attack. SS Haddock sank E No.26 SW of Japan on the 15th. In return the other ASW vessels damaged her and she's returning to port. SS Lancetfish sank E W-2 off Japan on the 16th November. SS Sturdy sank AK Yahiko Maru near Balikpapan on the 16th. On the other side SS Mingo and Boarfish were sunk by ASW escorts.

Well Speedy, He goes from unmodified 1414 AV to 304 AV. That less than 25% near 20% of AV. He is hurting and u can see it number of destroyed vs number of disabled squads too. U dont have a ton of AV tho Steven. 2 divs plus assorted. He is prolly so low in supply by now that squads will go slowly disabled just by lack of supply. He how ever just has alot of squads. 3 divs + more assorted than u. U winning this but less u bring a bit larger hammer u still gona take some casulties/time. If u have 2 3 Tank units around i would move them in and attack with those alone for a bit while inf rests up. Rasmus

JocMeister -> RE: 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 4:15:02 PM)
Congrats on Singers Speedy! [&o] Thats going to be a massive shift in VPs for you! [:)]

Speedysteve -> RE: 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 6:03:58 PM)
Thanks Walloc - as always you offer sage thoughts and advice. That makes sense. I won't be diverting other troops or units to this sector though. For me there's bigger fish to fry and more important tasks to accomplish further east! They'll just have to whither away slowly...... Thanks JocMeister - Yup. A nice shift. It's now 52,900 Allied vs 35,000 Japanese. CentPac Operations: � As promised here's the detail on the upcoming invasions following on from the Mariana's Campaign. The first target for this phase will be Iwo Jima with the second being Daito Shoto. Recon indicates Iwo Jima�holds 12 enemy units, 45K men,�339 guns and 112 AFV's. It will not be an easy nut to crack. The key will be getting ashore with enough active force and THEN to be able to take down the forts. If I can get ashore with enough un-distrupted it will be a matter of time before Iwo Jima falls. There's over 200 enemy fighters reported on the fields with a further 100 enemy planes on nearby Chichi and Haha Jima. They'll be no problem for my CV air. The Allied OOB for these invasions is: Iwo Jima under RADM Barbey's VII Amphib Force ------------------ V US Corps 81st Infantry Division 5th Marine Division 44th Tk Bn 716th Tk Bn XIV Corps Combat Eng Rgt (BRILLIANT units with over 200 x Combat Engineer squads) Daito Shoto ---------------- 37th Infantry Division 25th USA Division 158th (Sep) Infantry Rgt 34th Combat Eng Rgt 766th Tk Bn 767th Tk Bn 1st USMC Tk Bn Reserve for the assaults is 3rd Marine Division. I am a little concerned I'm a little light on the Iwo Jima invasion but HOPE CV Air is enough to get me ashore in good shape. Naval forces: ------------------ 13�x CV 9�x CVL 26�x CVE (Combat) =�977 F,�405 DB,�619 TB 4 x SC TF (8 x BB) I wonder if Faber will react with the Combined Fleet (what remains of it according to intel�- between 2-5�x CV, 2 (?) converted CVL, maybe�CVL Ibuki, Between 4-8 CVE, �BB Yamato, Musashi, Ise, Hyuga, 10 x CA and 16 x CL). I hope so! [:)] [image]local://upfiles/4211/BB3DD533AC80452D8064DFD171784380.jpg[/image]

Good luck on the invasion. I�m a little bit worried about Iwo too. I really, really hope I�m wrong but I don�t think you have brought enough! How many days have you allocated for air and naval bombardments? Remember that Iwo is an island size 2 and is treated like an Atoll. So you need loads and loads of prep work or you will be gutted in the shock attack. EDIT: This thread has a nasty example of an Iwo invasion gone wrong! http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3407882&mpage=1&key=

Speedysteve -> RE: 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 6:44:43 PM)
I know. All of my forces are 100% prepped. I can spend weeks bombing if needed as I have oodles of AO, AE and CVE (VR) on hand......as a minimum 4-6 days bombing though.

Speedysteve -> RE: 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 7:00:43 PM)
Hard to know how much he has mind you [;)]. I'm probably going to use my B29's once my CV Air has taken out his CAP too.........

JocMeister -> RE: 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 7:14:21 PM)
Haha, well thats a good point. I have noticed sudden rises in damage I have inflicted from naval and air bombardments. Say I do 4 days of bombings causing 150 casualties per day. All of the sudden that number goes up to 300 and stays there. Could be when supply starts running short? AA stop shooting back is probably a good sign to? [:)]

Speedysteve -> RE: 14-19th November 1944 (10/14/2013 7:17:07 PM)
Yes. When AA Stops shooting back is a clear sign of low/lack of supply and probably the only way I know how to visibly tell this pre LCU engagement.

Speedysteve -> 20-21st November 1944 (10/14/2013 9:00:18 PM)
Hi All, CentPac: The only thing to note here is the night bombing over Tokyo. I'm now pretty impressed after 2 nights of bombing (19/20th with the planes being socked in on the 21st). Fires have been around the 500-5000 mark but damage has been decent: 40 x Manpower, 37 x resources, 493 x HI, 416 x LI, 12 x ARM and 8 x Ha-45's. This has been caused by fragmented strikes of 3-12 planes (30ish x B29 total each night). I lost 5 x B29 for 7 x NF over the 2 nights. ---------------- SRA: Allied troops stormed ashore at Davao on the morning of the 21st. I feel quite confident of securing Mindanao by the end of the year. There's still a lot to unload but it's looking promising already: Ground combat at Davao (79,91) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 16404 troops, 134 guns, 13 vehicles, Assault Value = 616 Defending force 27862 troops, 419 guns, 881 vehicles, Assault Value = 1511 Japanese ground losses: 32 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Allied ground losses: 8 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Assaulting units: 56th Ind.Mixed Brigade 40th Ind.Garrison Battalion 25th Ind.Mixed Regiment 41st Ind.Garrison Battalion 16th/B Division 9th JNAF Coy 11th Air Division 85th JAAF AF Bn Defending units: Fiji Bde /1 II Aus Corps Engineer Battalion 19th Infantry Regiment 8th Marine Rgt /3 3rd Australian Div /4 32nd Infantry Div /6 754th Tank Bn /1 34th Infantry Rgt /4 21st Infantry Rgt /3 637th Tank Destroyer Battalion 30th Australian Brigade 1st Australian Bde /1 1st Army Tank Regiment 2nd USMC Tank Bn /1 Torres Strait Bn /2 3rd NZ Armoured Sqn 25th Australian Bde /4 Americal Infantry Div /6 2/13th Field Regiment 198th Field Artillery Battalion 131st Field Artillery Battalion 33rd Medium Regiment Obviously it depends on how quickly I can take the main part of Mindanao and what recon finds but I already have 1000 x AV of troops preparing for southern Luzon as well. Interestingly recon has identified a probably CV TF at Balabac. I wonder if we'll have a CV battle tomorrow. I have 230 x F4U1D and 160 x TBM on CVE's in the theatre......... ------------------ Malaya: Mopping up continues at Singapore as engineers continue to repair the wrecked port. The AF's will be operational tomorrow as well. Recon is starting to recon more of Indo China methodically to uncover what's there...... ------------------ Submarine Warfare: 0 x dud/missed attacks. SS Picuda reported sinking TK Amatsu Maru NE of Brunei on the 21st. SS Sea Fox blew up PB Akitsui Maru NE of Okinawa. In return SS Statesman was sunk by a TK TF Escorts near Brunei on the 21st.

Speedysteve -> 22nd November 1944 (10/15/2013 2:45:33 PM)
Hi all, Well we had no CV Battle as the suspected Jap TF scurried back to Brunei..... CentPac: The only action of note was the night raid over Tokyo. About 40 bombers made it over the target in fragments and were intercepted by up to 40 enemy fighters. Interestingly I shot down a reported 19 of them for no friendly loss! I raised the altitude of this raid from 10K to 20K to test bombing results and they weren't impressive. Only 1500 fires were caused. They're back down to 10K for tomorrow. Guam's B29 force will be up and running over the next few days. I aim to try and use this force (B29-25's with longer range) to conduct pin point industry attacks on Japan. The Iwo Jima invasion forces are passing south of Marcus Island. ------------------ SRA: Allied forces continue to pour ashore at Davao with no interference from the Japanese. As mentioned the suspected enemy CV force scurried back to Brunei. A secondary force of Fijian Commandoes landed at an empty Dadjangas and will take the place tomorrow. ------------------ Malaya: The remaining 5000 Japs were wiped out in Singapore today. Singers really is a key base in the game as it will now serve as my main sub base, supply hub AND it has a decent sized Shipyard. Necessary support vessels and subs are moving to Singers. My Brit led CV and BB TF's are now moving back from Columbo to permanently stage from Singapore. As an FYI I have 2 x CV TF's (4 x CV, 1 x CVL) and a CVE TF (7 x CVE) along with 2 x SC TF (5 x BB's). These will support the next series of invasions. Recon is beginning in earnest in Indo China. The more I think on this the more certain I am the next set of landings will be in SW Indo China (Soc Trang/Kompong Trach area). I could comfortably land 3000-3500 AV here in due course (within 2 months once the Singer assault forces have R&R). My thinking is that Faber can't have a massive force in Indo China as he's just lost 600 AV at Singers, has 2000 AV bottled up at Prabomoelih (Sumatra) and is still holding the Rangoon/Pegu area with well over 25 units (comfortably 2000 AV I would guess). The landings in Indo China would either cut off the Burma force (IF Faber didn't retreat in time and I occupied the Bangkok area - Faber has 16 units and 50K men here) OR it would force the Burma force to retreat into Indo China and I could occupy Rangoon which is a very good base to have as well. In addition the remaining 60K Jap men in Malaya would be cut off by the Indo China invasions and the occupation Singora to cut the rail line out of Malaya. Ultimately if it went well I could move up in to China and the Hong Kong area by mid-45 if the game lasts that long... Thoughts? ----------------------- Submarine Warfare: 0 x dud/missed attacks. SS Picuda reported sinking the fuel carrying AO Shiriya near Brunei with 2 torpedoes. [image]local://upfiles/4211/B83136CCB3D84089808B8F2162840DDD.jpg[/image]

I think you are "missing" a lot of Jap AV somewhere? Doing a very quick and dirty count on Jap AV in my game comes up with something like 7000 AV in Thailand/Indochina and Erik still has some 300.000 men on Luzon/Formosa. Can you get some recon done and try and get a feel for the opposition in Thailand? With complete air and naval supremacy you might want to try landing even farther east? Luzon? Formosa? Or land directly at HK? [:)]

Speedysteve -> 23-30th November 1944 (10/22/2013 4:41:43 PM)
Hi All, Hi Jocke - I'll provide a more in depth summary of Jap troops estimates in a follow up post. A lot more recon has been conducted in the past week to provide a better picture (I feel). All in all the last week of November 1944 was very good for the Allies with some substantial Japanese shipping being sunk off Borneo and air control has been gained over Iwo Jima......... ---------------------------- CentPac: The Fleet started to come under air attacks from Jap planes in the Bonin's from the 25th. A few planes got through the CAP but no hits were sustained and a reported 160 enemy planes were shot down for 20 friendly. Here's an exapel of the carnage: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Chichi-jima at 115,80 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 119 NM, estimated altitude 12,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 50 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M3a Zero x 7 B5N2 Kate x 9 N1K1-J George x 19 Ki-43-IIb Oscar x 16 Ki-44-IIa Tojo x 56 Allied aircraft Corsair II x 14 FM-1 Wildcat x 24 FM-2 Wildcat x 252 F4U-1D Corsair x 71 F6F-3 Hellcat x 27 F6F-5 Hellcat x 488 Japanese aircraft losses A6M3a Zero: 3 destroyed B5N2 Kate: 6 destroyed N1K1-J George: 3 destroyed Ki-43-IIb Oscar: 5 destroyed Ki-44-IIa Tojo: 19 destroyed Allied aircraft losses FM-2 Wildcat: 1 destroyed F6F-5 Hellcat: 2 destroyed Offensive strikes were launched by the CV's from the 27th (sinking a small Jap TF including AV Sagara Maru fleeing the Bonin's) and a mass of Hellcats and Corsairs were sent on sweeps to take out the Jap's on the 28th and 29th. It wasn't all 1 sided but a reported 200 enemy planes were destroyed for the loss of 40 friendly. Heavy raids were launched on the 3 main Jap Islands in the Bonin's on the 30th putting the AF's out of action on Iwo Jima. B24's flying from Guam will keep them so. I'll now begin to bomb Iwo's AF/Port's with my CV's to try and take out supply a fair bit before hitting the troops. A DD TF was sent ahead on the 29th to take out reported enemy MTB's. It was a fun day with 18 enemy vessels claimed sunk off Iwo Jima. Meanwhile B29's hit Tokyo (night), Osaka (day raid with 15 losses) and Okayama (night) Manpower with the fires taking out another 800 VP's or so of industry. They're now resting as they'll be used to bomb Iwo Jima's supply soon. ---------------------- Mindanao: It took over 10 days to fully unload my troops and men at Davao but things progressed fairly quick on the ground with an overwhelming number f troops and the equipment advantage meaning the Jap's took over 8000 casualties and fled out of Davao on the 28th: Ground combat at Davao (79,91) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 59384 troops, 1060 guns, 1809 vehicles, Assault Value = 2126 Defending force 10794 troops, 109 guns, 27 vehicles, Assault Value = 126 Allied adjusted assault: 508 Japanese adjusted defense: 43 Allied assault odds: 11 to 1 (fort level 2) Allied forces CAPTURE Davao !!!

Planes began to fly from the AF's in early December. A small Jap CL TF (amazingly) snuck in to try and interfere with my transports on the 25th. I say amazingly as I had 2 SC TF's in the hex who did diddly squat and watched the CL's steam at an invasion TF: Night Time Surface Combat, near Davao at 79,91, Range 7,000 Yards Japanese Ships CL Nagara, Torpedo hits 2, and is sunk (damaged on the way in by a sub fired torp) CL Isuzu, Shell hits 1 CL Abukuma CL Kuma, Shell hits 2 Allied Ships DD Helm, Shell hits 6, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Mugford, Shell hits 4, on fire DD Ralph Talbot, Shell hits 7, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk DMS Southard DMS Emmons AM Starling AM Impeccable AM Chief AM Scrimage AM Scuffle AM Bittern SC-636 SC-639 SC-645 SC-646 SC-648 AP William Ward Burrows APA Clay APA Highlands xAP President Coolidge xAP Monterey xAP Mariposa xAP Santa Elena xAP Santa Paula xAP Etolin, Shell hits 1 xAP Santa Maria xAP Santa Inez AK Crater AK Carina AK Cassiopeia AK Celeno AK Cetus AK Draco AK Eridanus LST-18 LST-19 LST-21 LST-22 LST-23 LST-24 LST-25 LST-31 LST-34 LST-335 LST-338 LST-339 LST-344 xAK Steel Seafarer xAP Golden Eagle xAP Cape Neddick xAP Benjamin Franklin xAK William S.

The only action to note was the Jap's marched 91st Division south from Kuala Lumpur into Malacca (presumably thinking I had moved all my men into Singapore). They were rudely awakened and routed on the 27th: Ground combat at Malacca (49,81) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 10508 troops, 202 guns, 109 vehicles, Assault Value = 440 Defending force 7826 troops, 56 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 249 Allied adjusted assault: 393 Japanese adjusted defense: 8 Allied assault odds: 49 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: disruption(-), preparation(-), fatigue(-), experience(-) supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 2838 casualties reported Squads: 109 destroyed, 39 disabled Non Combat: 66 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 11 (7 destroyed, 4 disabled) Units retreated 1 Allied ground losses: 42 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 3 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 5 (1 destroyed, 4 disabled) Defeated Japanese Units Retreating! Assaulting units: 18th British Division 1304th Construction Regiment 154th USA Base Force 2nd USMC Air Wing Base Force Defending units: 91st Division Now on to Borneo and the highlight of the week [:)] I decided to sail my 3 x Brit CV/CVE TF (along with a SC TF for cover) out of Singapore to attack reported enemy TF's at Brunei on the 27th. They remained undetected on the 28th and hit some nice Jap shipping at Brunei and a TK Convoy heading NE out of Brunei: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Balabac at 70,84 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid detected at 78 NM, estimated altitude 12,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 26 minutes Allied aircraft Avenger II x 12 Barracuda II x 18 Corsair II x 19 Corsair IV x 12 Hellcat I x 6 F6F-5 Hellcat x 13 TBM-3 Avenger x 18 No Allied losses Japanese Ships CVE Taiyo, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 1 CVE Unyo, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires DD Yamagumo DD Naganami, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage TK Tonan Maru #2 DD Arashi APD T-1, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Tempi Maru, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires We meanwhile found BB Mutsu at Brunei!: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Brunei at 65,87 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid detected at 72 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.

Speedysteve -> End of November 1944....... (10/23/2013 2:30:08 PM)
Hi all, November was a very good month for the Allies. Singapore was re-taken, Mindanao invaded with Davao captured and the Allies marching to the rest of Mindanao and further raids by B29's on Japan (mainly by night) have seen damage spread across key Japanese industries. It will be touch and go whether I make a Major Victory (2:1) by Jan 1945. I gained roughly 13,000 VP's (almost 8,500 of these due to Strat bombing of Japan!) in November alone but I predict fewer will be gained in December as the only major base I'll be taking (hopefully) will be Iwo Jima and fewer Strat raids will be launched on Japan as the B29's will be used to support he Iwo Jima landings. If I'm close I may take my CV's up to Japan and pound away but we'll see....... In terms of reinforcements the highlights are CV Bennington, BB Texas, CVE Ameer, Tracker and Commencement Bay, a load of Assault ships and LC's and 9 x SS. -------------------------- Points: Allies: +13,095 points Japanese: +345 points Bases: Allies: +6 (+2,175 points) Japanese: -6 (-396 points) Planes: Allies: +506 lost Japanese: +699 lost Troops: Allies: +137 lost Japanese: +1,028 lost Ships: Allies: +9 lost (+98 points. 5 x SS, 2 x DD and 1 x AMC at Davao). Japanese: +74 lost (+806 points. The most substantial being 2 x CVE and BB Mutsu. Most of these losses were due to CV airpower (auxiliaries and merchants along with escorts and MTB's sunk by DD's off Iwo Jima)). Allied Strat points: +8,422 points ------------------------ Sub Kills: 15 of 20 attacks were successful = 75% success! Dutch Boats: PB - 5 (1 mine) AK - 35 TK - 10 CM - 6 DD - 4 TB - 1 DMS - 3 E - 1 APD - 1 ACM - 1 AP - 1 AMC - 1 AR - 1 = 70 ships ------------------------------- British Boats: DD - 1 (1 mine) AK - 14 (1 mine) (+1) SC - 2 PB - 2 TK - 2 AO - 1 SS - 3 (2 mine) DMS - 1 (1 mine) = 26 ships ------------------------------- Fleet Boats: AK - 302 (-5) SC - 30 (+2) AP - 14 (-1) PB - 57 (+4) TK - 77 (+2) AKE - 1 CM - 6 ACM - 2 E - 37 (+4) APD - 2 DD - 12 (+1) CL - 1 (Oi) AO - 8 PC - 1 AMC - 1 AV - 2 AM - 1 (1 mine) SS - 2 (-1) DMS - 4 CVE - 1 (Chuyo) = 560 ships -------------------------------- S-Boats: AK - 23 (+1) AP - 2 CM - 1 PB - 5 DMS - 1 SC - 7 TK - 4 = 43 ships = 699 ships = 50.22% of reported sunk ships total.
