Only got the replay and CR so you will have to make due without screens for now.

Sometimes the game just conspires against you. This was certainly such a day. [:(]
I have 440 Fighters set to sweep Coal Harbor. Due to range and stacking issues I couldnīt send them from the same airfield as the bombers flying from Seattle. So to minimize the risk of sweeps raining in while bombers flew...I divided my fighters to 3 different airfields. Vancouver, Oak Harbor and Bremerton (if memory serves me right). Of course they ALL 3 rain in except Seattle. [8|]
As I havnīt the turn file its hard to predict the damage but its not looking good.
quote:
Morning Air attack on Coal Harbour , at 204,49
Weather in hex: Moderate rain
Raid detected at 40 NM, estimated altitude 16,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 12 minutes
Japanese aircraft
A6M2 Zero x 23
A6M5 Zero x 8
Ki-44-IIa Tojo x 30
Allied aircraft
B-17E Fortress x 50
B-26 Marauder x 11
Japanese aircraft losses
A6M2 Zero: 1 destroyed, 4 damaged
A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed on ground
G3M2 Nell: 1 destroyed on ground
G4M1 Betty: 1 destroyed on ground
Allied aircraft losses
B-17E Fortress: 2 destroyed, 22 damaged
B-26 Marauder: 3 destroyed, 2 damaged
This was followed by 4 smaller raids. Hard to predict losses but it will be ugly.
Do I need to mention weather forecast was "clear"... [8|] Not a happy camper right now. Yuck.

Bad news continue to pile on here. I really donīt know why I even try to defend. Iīm probably better off just running back to Chungking or the mountains.

My guys were pretty high FAT/DIS before the attack. So this is an excellent result considering Japanese troops were well rested and dug in behind forts. Have to wait for the turn until I know if another attack is doable.
Jeff is trying to get the hell out so this was probably my only chance. But with the abandonment of Dacca the Japanese Indian expedition is over. [:)]
