Do dead Japanese is a bad state of decay count ? Anyhoo .. Finchafen attack worked like a charm today , and the follow on shock attack destroyed/surrounded the rest and wiped them out. Also got the dot base just NW of Finchafen too so no jap bases left south of Munda on NG anymore. WE still need to wipe out the unit that retreated right onto our supply path to munda however [:'(] Night Naval bombardment of Finschhafen at 100,126 Allied Ships CA Suffolk CA Indianapolis CL Capetown CL Caradoc CL Hobart DD Redoubt DD Napier DD Thracian DD Arunta DD Frazier Japanese ground losses: 27 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 6 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Airbase hits 2 Airbase supply hits 2 Runway hits 8 Port hits 10 Port supply hits 2 Ground combat at Finschhafen (100,126) Allied Shock attack Attacking force 10242 troops, 137 guns, 148 vehicles, Assault Value = 404 Defending force 3147 troops, 64 guns, 13 vehicles, Assault Value = 60 Allied adjusted assault: 616 Japanese adjusted defense: 19 Allied assault odds: 32 to 1 (fort level 0) Allied forces CAPTURE Finschhafen !!!
