The Bad and the downright ugly. The fighting in the home islands leaves no room for manoeuvre so Mike is just coming straight in backed by an awesome amount of firepower. Thanks to Hiroshima still standing strong, hundreds of mines and still a few DDs running around, the Allies have not been able to break through into the inland sea which has fortunately saved me from massive BB bombardments. Instead Mike is relying on his air to do the smashing but CAP over central and Northern Japan is still strong. Despite having a stack of units, guns and tanks, the lack of supply is really impacting how hard I can hurt the Allies. Okayama holds below [image]local://upfiles/30175/01CE08D50AFA47759BB2C108506695A1.gif[/image]

The defenders at Fukuyama get massacred. No more supply for the guns and Allied armour rolls over the top of them. [image]local://upfiles/30175/0595B647040448D4B99721D06E8AEAAC.gif[/image]

The Home Islands being gobbled up now by the Allies in the South and the Soviets in the North. [image]local://upfiles/30175/EB87B79420484895B01736079F66BA69.gif[/image]

Thanks Lowpe, next time I intend to start much earlier and see if I can't overwhelm the southern Russian positions. Its just bad luck there is not much oil produced by the Russian bases.

So at the negotiation table what will be the Russian demands for spilling their blood on mainland Japan?

18th September 45 Survived quite a few brutal sweeps losing only 2 and 3 Japanese fighters for every Mustang and P47 downed. Deep pools of Frank Rs, Tojos, A6M8s, Oscars and even Jacks allows me to maintain this rate of fighting indefinitely (supply being the only problem). Sure enough the bombers come calling again and again the empire is ready [:)] Pretty colours as the new USAAF aircraft enter the fray.

How many supplies are you making a day now?

Bif1961 -> RE: Empire strikes back- NJP vs Wargmr (no wargmr) (7/22/2016 3:30:04 PM)
I am sure during these sweeps the phrase the Rufe, the Rufe, the Rufe is on fire is heard.

obvert -> RE: Empire strikes back- NJP vs Wargmr (no wargmr) (7/23/2016 10:07:41 AM)
The 8th has arrived!! Speaking of Rufes, don't those upgrade to A6M5 at least? [:D]

njp72 -> RE: Empire strikes back- NJP vs Wargmr (no wargmr) (7/23/2016 1:04:25 PM)
Not sure Lowpe, I would have to go back and check but it is really quite academic now. Even the key bases are down to about 30K so I will be fighting with sticks and stones in the next two weeks. [:(]

The issue now is that air strikes on bases chew up so much supply... [:(]

[:)] hi Obvert, unfortunately no fun stuff on the way [:(] There are still a number of strong posiitons on the Home Islands causing Mike grief but they are rapidly becoming paper tigers due to losses and more importantly, lack of supply. Amazingly CAP across central Japan is still very strong and continues to score even against Sweeps. The Frank R has been the most critical airframe for the Empire to ensure the game does not completely break down and become a slaughter. Just about the end of Sept 45 now and have hit 90K in VPs. I would give this game another 30 days and then surely I would have to be toast [:)]

The end is nigh mid October 45 Key positions continue to fall under an avalanche of air attacks and BB bombardments. Hastening the fall now is the lack of supplies which is having a huge impact on the land battles. Despite being obsolete, Japanese weapon systems can still draw blood and hence points continued to be accumulated. My target was 80K VPs and happy to report it is now over 90K. About 20 days left of combat but effective, organised resistance has largely broken down outside of some stubborn pockets which refuse to yield.

Also Mike has undertaken a clever flank move which will likely see the Soviets and Americans link up in central Japan. All reserves have already been committed and spent so there is really nothing stopping the Soviets from collapsing my flank. [image]local://upfiles/30175/7E2CED779A32479383CC49CC1AC04C47.gif[/image]

The entire USN has just appeared outside Yokohama no doubt to nail the final stake through the Empire's heart.

If he stays in the same hex (which is highly unlikely) I am fairly certain he will regret it [;)]

How are your ship losses so low? Is your whole navy bottled up at Yokohama, including merchant ships?

PaxMondo -> RE: Empire strikes back- NJP vs Wargmr (no wargmr) (7/31/2016 3:37:45 AM)
If he didn't build many, then it looks about right. I can almost turn off my MSY as IJ except for the CVE's and mine ships...

Well the fat lady is singing. Supply has run out except for 3 bases on the Home Islands. Tokyo is out cold and the whole air defence network which has put up a sterling performance has literally collapsed. About 150 Japanese merchant ships have been sent to the bottom of the ocean in three days, as the slaughter commences in earnest. There is no where to run or hide but stand in place and take it on the chin[:D] ( I was going to use another analogy but I don't think it is appropriate on our G rated forum. I am still laying claim to the bloodiest PBEM in history though!!!! The Emperor will no doubt make his nation wide address tomorrow.
