Screwed up my last turn, as I started it on one computer and finished it on another..I negelected to free up supply on Honshu. Maizuru AA guns are bone dry now, and being heavily bombed and bombarded. Should have over 4000 AV there for the big fight on the morrow, but supply? Could be ugly...but if I get one more day then supply should flow in...

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/8/2016 3:32:00 PM)
Nov 14, 1944 No major attacks on Honshu, Allies rest their bombers for the most part over Honshi. Over 4000 AV at Maizuru but supplies short. Many AA units have no supply, and yet there is plentiful supply at Kobe & Osaka, but it isn't flowing out. Perhaps some will make it the other way, or it will simply take a few days to catch up. 15 days until December.[;)]

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/10/2016 2:21:06 PM)
Nov 15, 1944 Maizuru is bombed, and bombarded by everything the Allies have. 4000 IJA AV squared off against 3900 Allied AV...forts are level 3, but the supply has arrived and every unit has their full allotment.

Not bad in China...strongpoints should hold for a while...but the Allies will run free elsewhere. [image]local://upfiles/44178/533847AEB61A45558E21D4A4796A46FA.jpg[/image]

I just managed to drop 20,000 supply into Luzon, and I am going to try and drop that much into China, which would really go far there.

Andav -> RE: Disaster! (8/10/2016 4:28:46 PM)
Where did you pull the supply from? It is funny because pulling 20k supply is a big deal for the Empire but the Allies probably don't even bother with 20k. They would throw 200k at the problems as a good start. Allies Problems ... I am surprised he lets that much shipping wander around. I guess all his combat vessels are blockading the HI and Luzon really does not matter to him. Wa

witpqs -> RE: Disaster! (8/10/2016 4:37:28 PM)
At this game date 20,000 supply is like Captain Queeg's strawberry supply for a week.

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/10/2016 7:28:28 PM)
Palembang, Miri, Balikpapen are all still mine and cranking out supplies daily. I make an effort to move those supplies to China, where they are needed...so for it is working, if slowly. turn is away, and no to the other game...

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/13/2016 4:45:21 PM)
Nov 16th, 1944 Another day...no attack at Maizuru. I think after the recent battles, he will be forced to invade again. The AA at Maizuru is incredible strong, and i think I can move troops fast enough along my interior lines to keep him at bay here, despite the horrendous naval bombardments. At least until supply vaporizes. 50 B29s hit a fighter base of mine with predictable results.[:(]

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/13/2016 11:11:28 PM)
Nov 17, 1944 Maizuru is bombed with everything, and bombarded with everything the Allies have. IJA AA knocks down 140 planes plus. No major attacks on Honshu. Chengtu suffers the first attack. I am stripping some garrisons in China to bolster some rear defenses from marauding Allied armies. I will most likely see December, but I wonder how long into December?

VP ratio is now 2.447 to one, down from a high of 2.451 six days ago. At the beginning of Nov it was 2.393 to 1.

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/14/2016 1:15:16 PM)
Nov 18th, 1944 Big face off at Maizuru continues with 4000+ on each side. Artillery bombardments go in Japan's favour, but aerial and naval bombardment to the Allies. I have a ton of units there absorbing the bombardments, and that tends to leave the combat troops in good shape relatively speaking. B29s are back to strategic bombing now, does that mean he has given up on the grinding ground war on Honshu and will now look to invade? Allies lose 30 planes to AA and scale back the 4E over Maizuru and pretty much use only single engine bombers. Planning something now, and the battleships continue repairing their system damage nicely.

Nov 19th, 1944 Still holding on.... IJAAF bombers hit twice the Chinese/Commonwealth/British troops moving across the river at Ichang. IJA has 600AV dug in on the other side of the river. [image]local://upfiles/44178/0717B63B8B4F44E88E1F08F3E7E10FFB.jpg[/image]

Turn is done, and I have some planes flying CAP, especially in China... Allies might be moving in force on Osaka, or perhaps a feint. Maizuru still gets plenty of attention. On to Jockes game...[:)]

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/20/2016 1:23:41 PM)
Nov 21, 1944 Now there is almost a doubling of troops in Osaka...up against some 2000 AV of Japanese troops, that are fully supplied and not disrupted behind level 3 forts in great, if destroyed, terrain. I am dispatching another 1,000 points of reserve AV to this area....in case they are needed. VP ratio stands at 2.5 to one, and now I am starting to strip some Chinese towns of some of their garrisons to bolster defensive front lines...near Ichang for example. VP ratio is under 2.5 to 1, Growth in Nov has been been .2....can I make Jan?

Lowpe -> RE: Disaster! (8/20/2016 11:57:28 PM)
Nov 22, 1944 The 3rd Tank Division, holding the lines in reserve mode at Maizuru is tasked with a quick relocation to Osaka...in fact almost all Japanese tanks are at Maizuru, but it is the the 3rd Tank that fields the most Type 3's, and is in the best shape. Training, elan, and leadership excellent...they depart in the middle of the night for a long run. Will it be in time, for there is now over 6000 AV of Allied troops in Osaka....and they are fresh. Not so for the battered Japanese. And this day, High Command is correct at forecasting the attack...the Allied AF rain bombs down on Osaka, but good forts and nasty terrain shelter the troops and there is no naval bombardments. The Expected attack comes in the afternoon, the 3rd Tank has made the run and is in position as a fast reaction reserve force....the tanks rev their engines, ready to plug gaps, o launch counter attacks, to hold the line... But this day, yes, this day, the reserves aren't needed. The line holds, the forts degraded, but the Japanese troops fight and hold. The Allied resolve is failing, they can't take the losses...the drumbeat of a negotiated peace with honor set for Jan 1, 1945 draws one day closer.

A little worse from wear, from naval bombing and aerial bombardment, the 3rd Tank is ready to fight! [image]local://upfiles/44178/B3C83E361C0A45839749472BE396406F.jpg[/image] shells for their guns, fuel for their tanks, rations for the men....what bother a little disruption? -- this is war!!!

You do realise that a 2:1 for the Allies on 1 January 1945 represents an unconditional surrender by Japan. Of course, if you are preparing a public broadcast from the palace for your subjects, one could say you are being too modest. You may as well inform your subjects that as a great victory has been achieved, you have decided to spare the Allies from further pointless loss of life. Alfred

Nov 24, 1944 Allies look to invade Soochow, one hex north of Shanghai, and then move to Shanghai and its 2300 VPs. Not much I can do to stop them... Supplies scarce, Allies naval bombard Maizuru and aerial bomb Osaka. A deliberate attack strikes at Maizuru, where 30% of the IJA Army troops are in reserve no pursuit mode...one IJA division is totally out of supplies along with most of the AA present. Ground combat at Maizuru (110,58) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 103127 troops, 1534 guns, 2893 vehicles, Assault Value = 3967 Defending force 174989 troops, 2956 guns, 1311 vehicles, Assault Value = 4336 Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 2 Allied adjusted assault: 1343 Japanese adjusted defense: 2439 Allied assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 2) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), disruption(-), preparation(-), experience(-) supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 8546 casualties reported Squads: 224 destroyed, 196 disabled Non Combat: 20 destroyed, 256 disabled Engineers: 60 destroyed, 83 disabled Guns lost 328 (71 destroyed, 257 disabled) Vehicles lost 156 (13 destroyed, 143 disabled) Units destroyed 1 Allied ground losses: 3526 casualties reported Squads: 17 destroyed, 279 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 69 disabled Engineers: 8 destroyed, 115 disabled Guns lost 85 (4 destroyed, 81 disabled) Vehicles lost 209 (19 destroyed, 190 disabled)
