March 16th 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ Ouch. Stupid mistake at Chungking. ------------------------ NORPAC/WC ------------------------ KB lingers outside Seattle...need 1-2 more turns for Glass Cannon. 18 Zeroes sweep Seattle. I also have some surface raiders South of San Diego. Not sure if I should try and hit them or not. Probably not worth the risk right now. They don´t do any harm sitting there anyway. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Jeff hits the airfield at Chungking catching a lot of Chinese planes on the ground. Stupid mistake by me. ------------------------ India ------------------------ Suddenly a LRCAP appears over the Japanese troops. quote: Morning Air attack on 18th/A Division, at 56,40 , near Chittagong Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid spotted at 37 NM, estimated altitude 22,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 9 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 13 Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 12 Allied aircraft H81-A3 x 20 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 1 destroyed Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 2 destroyed Allied aircraft losses H81-A3: 3 destroyed Not a good day as I lose an ace KIA and have another wounded. Some Brit Hurris dish out some real damage later in the day downing a lot of Oscars. [image]local://upfiles/32406/B64AB7C6FFFF4EBE8938F39F8EF7116F.jpg[/image]

quote: ORIGINAL: Lokasenna quote: ORIGINAL: JocMeister Replacement pools ______________________________________________________________________________ Well, I´m running out of things I´ve never been before. Absolutely bone dry right now: - US Rifle squads - US 90mm AA guns. - US 40mm Bofors - US 155mm CD guns. This is a bit problematic. Given the situation the AA guns are the real issue. Several of the WC AA units are not even close to full TOE and the ones destroyed at PH can´t fill out. Replacement rates are abysmal. -20 90mm/MO -40 Bofors This is basically a coast AA unit per month...slow. At least the AA units coming as reinforcements seem to have a full TOE. 4 full ones arriving within the next 30 days. I always run out of those things, except the 155mm CD guns. Even the 155mm GPF are not available in good numbers. In late 1942 I am still waiting for some to replace 5" guns in some Coast Defence Units and Marine Defence Battalions. Not a huge deal as the 5" guns have some bite too.

JocMeister -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/2/2015 7:30:51 PM)
Problem for me is that the Defense Battalions I bought back come with the 155mm M1918 GPF gun. Its not even in production so I have to wait for the TOE upgrade in 255 days when it switches to the 155mm M1A1. So they are pretty useless right now. [:)]

Bullwinkle58 -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/2/2015 7:40:06 PM)
There's a giant free AA dump on June 30 (?) right into the pools, convoy-style. Still a ways for you but it helps. Any base forces you can disband right now? You can scare up some infantry squads there.

You can scare up some infantry squads there. Listen to the Moose! Historically, the US stripped its West Coast AA units in early 42 so other units could deploy at full strength. That's what you are living through now. Until the July 1st surge, you don't have enough replacements to fill out your restricted units as well as the ones you are shipping overseas. For now, most of your AA units should have 'replacements off'. Even the July 1st reinforcements are not a panacea -- there's 100 90mm and 20 3in M3 heavy AA guns, and 120 40mm and 100 37mm light AA. There's lots and lots of machine guns, so at least you won't have to worry about the Japanese strafing your troops. [:)]

JocMeister -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/3/2015 4:47:57 AM)
Thanks guys! Didn´t know/had forgotten about the US convoy reinforcements! [&o] I guess July will be too late to change anything though. Whatever strat bombing campaign Jeff will try it will surely be decided by then!

March 17th 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ Quiet.... ------------------------ NORPAC/WC ------------------------ KB stays on station West of Seattle. A little bit too bold being so stationary...subs will intercept next turn. I want him to burn as much fuel as possible. "Glass Cannon" will launch next turn. I pretty much only get one shot at this (hence the name). 70 B17Es will try and close Coal Harbor AF. 20 P38Es, 25 P40Es and 25 P39s will hopefully sweep ahead. Unless KB moves North all of the sudden it will be too far away to lend support. If I can manage to close the AF it will pin the KB in the area for a little longer. It will also force Jeff to keep up a much bigger CAP giving him less to sweep with. I´m putting a great deal of faith in the B17Es. So far I´ve seen only Zeroes flying from Coal Harbor. I know from experience they are horrible at dealing with B17s...my pilots though are not...good. So we will see how it ends up. I´ve also built up a good reserve force further south with 150 P40Es. Some of them are even piloted by decent pilots! [X(] ------------------------ India ------------------------ A lone RGT of the 18th move out from the coast after the shattered Indian BDE. This RGT is about to face a nasty surprise as is the rest of the 18th sitting at Chittagong. The Japanese 5th ID is prepping for Calcutta. This is not a serious threat yet and I should have time to deal with the 18th first. Calcutta has 1100 AV behind level 5 forts. He will need 3-4 IDs for that. quote: 1/5th Division is planning for an attack on Calcutta. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Jeff continues to hit the AF at Chungking destroying some more planes on the ground. ------------------------ SOPAC ------------------------ Some subs pop up outside Noumea.

Japanese intentions ______________________________________________________________________________ I´m starting to wonder if I have been mistaken in my belief considering SOPAC. Spent a while in Intel Monkey today going through various locations and Japanese combat units. -Nothing is prepping for Pago Pago, Noumea, Koumac, Nadi or Penryhn Island. -"Bogus" units are prepping for Suva. These are all Kwantung Brigades. -Nothing in prepping for anything on OZ or NZ besides Perth. -There is very little activity in SOPAC at all. Jeff took Ndeni with a small unit but have not expanded the base. Only Japanese presence since the SCTF around Koumac 2 weeks ago are subs. Japanese are now committing to both India and NORPAC. They have made very little progress in China so far (although that will change soon as supply is gone) and still have Luzon and Darwin on the "must take list". With the thrust into NORPAC/Canada I don´t think Jeff has enough to threaten SOPAC. At least not for now. And very soon the Amphib bonus will be gone slowing him down considerably.

BBfanboy -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/3/2015 1:43:22 PM)
Could it be that it is referring to the BOMB GROUP, not each squadron, and that the base has the same HQ as one of those groups (IV US Bomber Cmnd)?

BBfanboy -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/3/2015 1:48:02 PM)
About the B-17 strike on CH - does an IJA Inf Div have good light AA in 1942? If not, I would be tempted to put poorly trained B-17 squadrons on low level attack, around 3000 feet to avoid MG fire. At that level they can get hits with a poor Low Ground skill level. Or you could put them at 100 feet and bomb then strafe with all those MGs! [:'(] EDIT: There is a bonus to flying very low level - most of the CAP at 10000 feet or so will never get down in time to intercept. [:)]

It was the most devastating thing I have EVER seen in WITPAE...way better than a KB strike.

It was the most devastating thing I have EVER seen in WITPAE...way better than a KB strike. This would actually use regular ground bombing skill. Low ground skill is used ONLY at 1000 feet. This was a change in an early beta from the previous 6000 threshold. As for the base administration... to my knowledge, sometimes groups with the same HQ or with the same "grouping" (bomb group, fighter group, etc.) seem to take up less base administration overhead. Also, to my knowledge, having HQs present increases the maximum number (in this case the 12), and does not reduce the effective number. I do think that having those air units' specific HQ at the base makes them not count, though. I dunno... I just do what the white or red numbers tell me to do in these cases. Planning the minutiae here rarely matters - even if every one of those groups was using up space, as you say, you'd only have 9...

JocMeister -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/3/2015 4:36:51 PM)
Thanks for the replies guys. I´m mostly worried something amiss and I can´t get the planes to fly. Didn´t this turn..update coming shortly!

March 18th 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ Bummer... ------------------------ NORPAC/WC ------------------------ Well, only thing that flew was a P39 squadron sweeping from Vancouver. Nothing from any of the WC bases flew. I won´t complain though as the P39s did phenomenal. Very small CAP up...had the B17s flown...[:@] quote: Afternoon Air attack on Coal Harbour , at 204,49 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 43 NM, estimated altitude 23,000 feet.

Off topic. You who live in Europe has probably seen a certain picture from a refugee disaster in the Med last night. I hadn´t looked at the picture but did so tonight. That picture hit me hard. Really, really, really hard. Consider giving something will you guys. Its only money. http://donate.unhcr.org/international/lifeline Update will have to wait until tomorrow. Can´t bring myself to update right now.

JocMeister -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/4/2015 4:55:30 AM)
March 19th-20th 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ Well, good results but not good enough. ------------------------ NORPAC/WC ------------------------ Strangely enough the CAP was still pretty weak on the 19th. The P40s hit first and did okay considering the pilots are very green. quote: Morning Air attack on Coal Harbour , at 204,49 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid spotted at 44 NM, estimated altitude 25,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 15 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 23 Allied aircraft P-40E Warhawk x 24 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 3 destroyed Allied aircraft losses P-40E Warhawk: 4 destroyed This was followed by the P38s. Sadly I lost one on the return home. quote: Morning Air attack on Coal Harbour , at 204,49 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid detected at 43 NM, estimated altitude 21,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 9 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 12 Allied aircraft P-38E Lightning x 17 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed Weather was bad which of course effected the results. The usual fragmentation occurred with 2 bigger raids followed by a gazillion fragments. CAP was already worn out though so it didn´t matter. This is the first strike. We hit A LOT of planes on the ground (overstack?) but very few runway hits. quote: Morning Air attack on Coal Harbour , at 204,49 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 10,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 6 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 1 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 15 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 1 damaged B5N1 Kate: 3 destroyed on ground H6K4 Mavis: 1 destroyed on ground G3M2 Nell: 1 destroyed on ground Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 5 damaged Runway is hardly scratched and I seriously doubt I managed to close it. Jeff continues to hit Portland. quote: Afternoon Air attack on Portland , at 213,56 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid detected at 67 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 26 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 8 G3M2 Nell x 4 Japanese aircraft losses G3M2 Nell: 2 damaged Manpower hits 12 Fires 1073 Still no damage. I think the raid shook him up a bit though. Nothing flew on the 20th and the KB moved in to provide CAP. No point in trying again as long as KB is there. Once it leaves though...with some luck I can continue to pin the KB in NORPAC for quite some time. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Another attack on the Ankang road. quote: Ground combat at 83,45 (near Nanyang) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 31755 troops, 320 guns, 212 vehicles, Assault Value = 973 Defending force 30600 troops, 200 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 616 Japanese adjusted assault: 535 Allied adjusted defense: 1768 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 3 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 759 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 96 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 16 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Vehicles lost 16 (2 destroyed, 14 disabled) Allied ground losses: 1303 casualties reported Squads: 5 destroyed, 131 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 16 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 17 (2 destroyed, 15 disabled) Looks like I managed to get some supply there in the nick of time. Jeff has also started pushing up from the south capturing some bases down there. I´ll get a map up later today. Elsewhere its quiet.

I have reinforced key locations to secure my LOC although obviously its impossible for me to cover every island. But Suva, Noumea, Pago Pago, Hiva Oa, Tahiti, Penhryn Island and Vavau are garrisoned. The first 3 quite heavily with early 42 standards. For those he will need divisions I think.

March 21st-22nd 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ First strategic bombing points of the war... ------------------------ NORPAC/WC ------------------------ Jeff hits Bremerton Naval yard and scores 54 VPs in return. I have to let him for now. Don´t have AA to cover it and I can´t cover every target. KB remains at Coal Harbor but the AF reaches 3. Will he start moving again? Another third of the 48th are landed at Anette. Second attack drops the forts to 2. ------------------------ India ------------------------ More units prepping for Calcutta. Only smaller units like Engineers RGTs and other support units. Comilla now has 4 enemy units. ------------------------ China ------------------------ A miracle on the Ankang road. [X(] quote: Ground combat at 83,45 (near Nanyang) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 31137 troops, 321 guns, 214 vehicles, Assault Value = 896 Defending force 29751 troops, 196 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 515 Japanese adjusted assault: 198 Allied adjusted defense: 2161 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 10 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 2359 casualties reported Squads: 5 destroyed, 120 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 44 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 17 disabled Vehicles lost 32 (3 destroyed, 29 disabled) Allied ground losses: 693 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 29 disabled Non Combat: 4 destroyed, 13 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 5 (5 destroyed, 0 disabled) I need more dice rolls like this.... Up in the North I messed up. Wasn´t really paying attention here and Jeff flanked me. 300 AV was cut off. So this means the siege of Lanchow will begin in 2 weeks or so. Level 3 forts, x3 terrain and 980 AV defending. It will be tough for him. Especially supply. [image]local://upfiles/32406/D4988698F042430A8DBC8E28B0895CE9.jpg[/image]

JocMeister -> RE: Canada Invaded! (9/5/2015 6:42:44 AM)
March 23rd-24th 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ Jeff flips turns like Tom sometimes. [:D] ------------------------ NORPAC/WC ------------------------ After bombing Bremerton things quiet down. KB remains on station. I had to stop the NavS in the area after loosing 2 months worth of CAT replacements in just a couple of days. So I´m pretty much blind here now. Easy to track KB though through the subs and their DL. Any day here not strat bombing is a good day. Japanese capture Annette Island and make their first attack on Kodiak. It will fall shortly. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Quiet after the Ankang road "miracle". Jeff is moving in the south with armor. He will soon reach my next roadblock. Screen coming up. ------------------------ OZ/SOPAC ------------------------ Japanese land at Wyndham. This is good as it will take some time for him to move to Darwin. Not sure why he didn´t land straight at Darwin as its pretty much empty. But everything that buys time is positive. [:)] ------------------------ India ------------------------ Jeff is walking deeper into the trap. He is being way too offensive here I think. He is basically just moving in blind as he hasn´t even reconned anything besides Calcutta. There are 9 units at Chittagong but only 4400 troops. I´m guessing they are engineers and BFs. By moving forward this far south I´m exposing myself a little. Its a calculated risk though. The Allied fleet is assembled in the IO and covering the flank. In 7 days the 70th British ID arrives which is a full ID in DBB. Its a fantastic ID with 80/80 EXP/MRL. Some of it arrives disabled though but it will anchor up the defense at Calcutta until recovered. The 26th Indian ID also arrives shortly. It arrives with a full TOE but slightly disabled and only 30 EXP/MRL. Still enough to bolster any defense where needed. I´ll keep this one in central India in strat mode. This is a good chance as I will get this early to hit back. [image]local://upfiles/32406/83E0CD394DC946C3892712734F836271.jpg[/image]
