GreyJoy -> Paoshan falls (2/4/2015 7:24:18 PM)
May 27, 1943 an important day. While Ledo is invested and falls to the allied tank Army, the defenders of Paoshan finally gave up. The base is ours. China is connected with Burma! And while at Lae the unloading process of the allies continues, the japanese armies advance towards Chunking. After months of hard fightings, the hex is captured. Now only 1 hex before Chungking is finally encircled. Banzai!

Nicely done! I knew that you'd get Paoshan before the Allies could get to Burma. Going to be nice to relieve the IJA in China and get them into action against the western Allies.

Thanks mate...well, it was just in time... the same day Ledo falls Paoshan follows the same fate... sometimes destiny is really weird :-) Well, now the job isn't over in China, not at all. We still need to get on Wenchow and Sian and, above all, force Chungking into submission. But at least that torn in my side which was the Paoshan-Kunming salient has been annihilated and we can now shift some forces back to more interesting strategical objectives. Now I need to retreat from Burma in good order, under a rain of allied bombs...not easy!

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/5/2015 7:12:31 AM)
May 28, 1943 The allied tanks are now pushing from Ledo to Dimampur, while our 55th ID is bombed to dust at Johrat, trying to get back to Dimampur and join the rest of the army marching back to Kalemyo. I am confident, however, that we can do it: getting back to Burma in one piece and be able to fight again another day. In the meanwhile, our 12th Army has reached the hex south of Chungking, just on the rivercrossing. Erik is sending is very best units from Chungking itself... it will be another slow slog but, again, I am confident (call me crazy).

MrBlizzard -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/5/2015 7:42:40 AM)
Well done GJ! Your strategy "China later" is working fine [:)]

Well at least that was the positive of your Indian adventure is that he didn't start touching Burma till mid43. That's that.

This is a quote from Wiki, but it will do: quote: Ki-61-I-Hei 800 German-made 20 mm Mauser MG 151/20 cannons and ammunition supplies were imported to Japan by submarine. The Hei was built in conjunction with the Otsu variant on the Kawasaki production lines but some "conversion kits" were directly sent to New Guinea. In this variant, the wing machine guns were replaced by Mauser cannons. Trial fittings found that these could be placed into the existing wing if the gun was laid on its side and a fairing was provided on the underside of the wing for clearance of the breech mechanism. 388 Ki-61s were so modified; the first of these was completed in September 1943 or January 1944. The last was completed in July 1944. Ki-61-I-Tei This machine featured two 12.7 mm (.50 in) Ho-103s in the modified (stronger) wings, provisions of external storage using fixed underwing pylons, and a non-retractable tail wheel. The forward fuselage was elongated by 190 mm (7.5 in) just after the exhaust line and forward of the windscreen to make room for the installation of Japanese 20 mm Ho-5 cannon in the fuselage decking. The continued supply of MG 151's via submarine was not able to be guaranteed and the Ho-5 was ready. Several internal changes were also made. These included the simplification of several systems for increased dependability and ease of maintenance. The rear section of the fuselage was also made to be easily removable to further facilitate the ease of repair work. I suppose the Japs were intrested in getting cannons on their army fighters asap, so they looked for Germany to provide some until their own Ho-5 was ready...

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/5/2015 1:54:42 PM)
Thanks Veji and Blizz! And thanks Barb...very informative! May 30, 1943 The allies decide to strike Buin. 4 Different STRONG Bombardment TFs (Cruisers, Battleships and tons of DDs), supported by several PT TFs (hate them), attack. I had my best BB TF moving back from Buin to Torokina this turn...missed them by MINUTES! We encounter the usual PT TF that makes us expend some valuable ammos... really hate these pesky bastards. Buin is in ruin now. Pretty sure he'll come here in the next days. Another BIG naval operation is taking shape at Milne Bay. I can see dozens of cruisers and DDs there, along with landing ships... Lae I guess. Enemy SAGs are also moving from Mili to Roi Namur... a bombardment TF? Probably. Hard to fight in these conditions. But I need to look at the big pictures now. These are all delaying theatres. I need to hold them there as long as possible, losing as few as possible ships and assets. The real battle will come when he'll reach the inner perimeter

So very interesting watching this game develop![&o] I understand your concerns. The fact is that I've already seen in my game vs QBall what happens when you lose too much fighting too forward... SOPAC/SWPAC is the best place for the allies to fight: no need to use their precious CVs, plently of LBA bases etc. To me, a war fought down there is a war already lost for Japan. As you may remember, my strategy wasn't to fight there..., forcing the allies to take the CENTPAC vector... so far it is working. Maybe i could send the KB in the pacific for some time as soon as Roi-Namur gets threatened... We'll see. I don't sweat in losing the Marshalls untill i hold strong Ponape. May 31, 1943 The allies invade and conquers Jaluit in a single day...ouch... The retreat under a rain of bombs continue from Dimampur... 50 Hellcats and 25 P-38s sweep Torokina, our last operating japanese outpost at Bouganville... we traded decently, losing only 2 planes for every allied fighter...not that bad. 30 4Es arrive over Roi-Namur, met by 27 A6M8s... we shot down 20 of them! [:D] Heavy recon over Mandalay... but we're ready to meet them if they want to come, by day or by night. 8 Frank "a" are coming online every day... soon we'll have a decent air force ready to meet him.

Not advocating fighting down there or a change in your strategy which I find very good -- not that you need my approval.[:D] I guess my main point is that the Americans aren't weakened significantly, when the disparity of forces was in your favor. A couple of Cruisers I seem to remember getting sunk in Palembang. Just concerned that you didn't damage the Allies enough and now they are moving forward at an ever increasing pace and will threaten either the PI or Marianas too quickly.

Erik was very good in avoiding my main attacks and i didn't see any good reason to chase him down till the end of the world just to put my precious ships at risk. That's a problem, i know. I will have to find some solutions...that's for sure

You will never damage Allied enough. They have to many ships and land units. Japan player can only challenge allied player in air. It is impossible to defend those small islands and atolls in south pacific without full commitment 2/3 of Japanese fleet and it is very risky. Additionally most of them can be easily pass and isolated.

Lae - not an important base in itself, but it is key to the inland base (at work and don't remember name) the is due north on the trail that has a potential AF9. 16 to 20 hexes in all directions would mean massive B-24s strikes shuting down any of your AFs. [sm=00000028.gif] As Alllies, I look for potential 8 or 9 AFs first and for a few ports that can be size 5 or larger as potential invasion sites. On New Guinea, there are not many that fill those parameters.

This won't stop the Allies forever but they are important bases. The three major shipyards are critical as well-Manila, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The Allied player pretty much has to have one of them sooner or later. GJ has directed the Allied advances away from his oil centers. In the long run this is how an Allied player defeats Japan. You need to put pressure on them. However, Obvert has done a great job. As I have said before, if the Allied player reaches this point with his carriers intact then most other things do not matter.

He already has Port Moresby and Buna as potential level 9 AF. Nazdab won't change much. The fact is that the Solomons and NG are two places where Japan cannot really fight on equal terms. Too many bases to defend, too any potential good AFs to protect. Where you defend in force he can bypass. As i said, i've chosen to defend only the chokepoints: Rabaul-Kavieng and Umboi Island-Finshhafen. He can have the rest, unfortunately. One thing i've learned during the Indian campaign is that it's not the single level 9 AF that scares me, but the combination of several big bases close togheder, from where he can launch several coordinated strikes:that's where Japan will always lose.

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/6/2015 5:27:09 AM)
May 31, 1943 Another day of sweeps over Torokina. We've moved back to Rabaul the sentais that fought yesterday and moved in som fresh ones. The allies used the same 3 airgroups that fought yesterday and the fatigue must have made a differene: 14 to 10 in our favour[:D] Morning Air attack on Torokina , at 109,130 Weather in hex: Light rain Raid detected at 24 NM, estimated altitude 26,000 feet.

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/6/2015 5:44:46 AM)
Eric starts to recon Exmouth. I expect his 4Es will arrive over here anytime soon... i am building up the defences in the "inner perimeter". Troops are moving down to Truk, Sawatal, Yap, Guam, Tinian etc. Once Rabaul will be isolated, the next step will be Sarmi-Biak complex. There i will stand and fight. In India Joharat is finally abbandoned and the 15th Army is now marching out of Dimampur towards Kohima and Imphal.

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/8/2015 4:15:23 PM)
Couple of days off. Family health issues. My father had an heart attack and is now in critical conditions. Always tough to realize your parents are getting old and fragile June 1, 1943 A quiet day. The first attack in the new hex 46 miles south of Chungking goes bad, but at least we know what to expect: Stiff resistance! Allied SAGs moving towards Horn Island. The evacuation from Dimampur keeps on going...under a rain of bombs... more than 350 allied bombers attack our retreating troops...OUCH! Several ships went today in shipyards for the scheldued upgrades. Started to get radars everywhere, which is fine!

witpqs -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/8/2015 4:31:59 PM)
Sorry, Nic. Our thoughts are with him.

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/9/2015 8:07:14 AM)
Thanks witpqs! His conditions are stable now. We just need to hope and pray June 2, 1943 Dimampur is abandoned in good order. To prevent his usual daily bombing run over my troops (which could have caused a shifting from reserve mode to combat mode, thus slowing down my marching guys) we've set a little CAP trap. 3 groups of A6M8s were placed in LRCAP from Imphal... and today, only 13 B26s appeared over Dimampur... all shot down BBs are approaching Maloep in the Marshalls... another invasion? KB is busy supporting a badly needed re-supplying mission of Mereuake. Enemy cruisers massing at Milne Bay and Munda.... Another failed attack against the Chinese south of Chungking... Sonia KI-51b finally online. 4 Sentais can now be switched to fighters (KI-43 line) and Fighter bombers (KI-45c). I badly needed this With the KI-61c online I can now upgrade a Nate sentai to a Tony KI-61c sentai.... finally!

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/9/2015 12:06:24 PM)
So the retreat from Dimampur is going well. We'll suffer now a bit from overstacking and lack of supplies, but we should be back on Burma in decent shape. I don't see how he can succesfully cut my retreat path. the Frank KI-84a production is going well, with 9 planes coming online each day. Soon we'll have the badly needed Franks to defend Burma. The Marshalls are now a lost cause. I have to face the truth: that part of the map is lost and now it's all about defending the real outpost of my right flanks: Ponape, Truk and the Marshalls. Pretty curious to see how Ponape will handle his next offensive. It is a bastion now, with a reinforced Division, CD guns, 150mm field artillery pieces and 3 good AA units (with guns raging from 75mm to 8.8cm to 10.5 cm...the best we can efford), along with some DP guns.

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/9/2015 4:06:42 PM)
June 3-4, 1943 Majuro falls too easily. A SNLF unit and a base force, behind 3 forts fall to the assault of an Engineer regiment and an artillery unit[X(] Gotta stop this downfall Dimampur switches sides and becomes allied. KB will now move back to the shadows. I want to move it to CENTPAC in order to ambush those invasions that are becoming too easy for Erik to be accomplished. Lae is about to fall. He attacked today, after a heavy naval bombardment, achieving immediately a 1-1. Not good, but it was foreseen.

GreyJoy -> RE: Paoshan falls (2/9/2015 4:37:44 PM)
Made a good and deep check with Tracker. Here are the numbers of the 3rd gen fighters I can field: 4x42 Setais of Frank Ki84a 1x36 Sentai of Frank KI84a 2x42 Sentais of Tony Ki-61d (available in july 43) 2x36 Sentais of Tony Ki-61d 1x45 Sentai of N1K1 (until October when another 1x27 group will be available) 2x42 sentais of Tojo KI-44c 2x36 Sentais of Tojo KI-44c 5x36 Sentais of Oscar KI43 IV� (available in july 43) 2x42 Sentais of Oscar KI43 IV� 1x27 Sentai of Jack J2M3 (starting in mid September 43) Not much, I know...but backed up by a lot of A6M5c and A6M8s and by good numbers of KI-43 IIb and IIIa, it should be enough to keep the balance until P-47s arrive in great numbers
