July 29th, 1942 *R&D* Because of my terrible start with R&D, the Tojo IIa will be coming online in 2 days. I have 3 R&D factories dedicated to it and went ahead and set 3 more to the Tojo (base) so that they will convert to production. The 3 R&D factories will switch to the IIb and the base factories will be around 30 each for immediate production. *NoPac* Things may get very interesting as a Sub detected American Carriers leaving the West Coast. Are they heading Northwest or Southwest to SoPac? We'll see. Initial invasions are Umak and Dora to capture the fields. He has a group of Torp Bombers out of Dora and though I'd like to capture the airfield intact, I've ordered an air attack on it along with LRCAP. After those two are captured, Cold Bay and Dutch will be the next targets. I'm keeping the SCTF in reserve for Dutch and just in case he suicides any surface fleets against me. There's 4 fleets of oilers for refuel, so I should be able to operate in this area for a while. [image]local://upfiles/28990/E18287C6788D4CC890A88BAF085A75E5.jpg[/image]

July 30th, 1942 *Burma* Starting to see my first success against the P-38. That plane has shot down 20-30 of mine with 1 loss. Today wasn't exactly stellar, but I'm not unhappy. I was attacking Cox Bazaar and his planes flew into Chittagong without notice and did some LRCAP. A few months ago, I would have lost a LOT of planes. Today shows things are getting a bit better.

Those Lightning are badass. Especially this early. He only gets 24 in replacements though (Only runs for a month). Most of them them starts the game in PERM restricted squadrons so I doubt he will have more then one squadron flying them.

This brings up a simple mathematics question. Which is faster? If I keep with the IIb, it will come in on 2/43 (and I won't build the IIb) and the IIc will come in around 8/43 or 9/43. If I skip the IIb, the factories have to retool, so will it the IIc come in faster based on a current 3/44 arrival date? R&D factories get built based on current date vs arrival date.

Save the game. Advance a fully repaired Tojo IIa factory to IIb. Check it. You will see that it should be still fully repaired. Now advance that factory IIb, to IIc. You will see it is still fully repaired. This is the power of generational line change upgrades.

August 2nd, 1942 *NoPac* This was by design. A couple of months ago I steamed the KB out and attacked airfields in the Aleutians in order to pull out various HQs and ENG units I had in the Aleutians. I played weak. Bill fell for it and built up both Dora Harbor and Unmak to level 5 airfields. Unmak fell today and the first attack on Dora went well. I'm a bit overstacked there, but nothing major. Ground combat at Dora Harbor (173,48) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 24613 troops, 354 guns, 74 vehicles, Assault Value = 628 Defending force 7218 troops, 104 guns, 100 vehicles, Assault Value = 109 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 2 Japanese adjusted assault: 676 Allied adjusted defense: 187 Japanese assault odds: 3 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 2 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), forts(+), preparation(-), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 932 casualties reported Squads: 6 destroyed, 58 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 7 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 23 disabled Guns lost 18 (1 destroyed, 17 disabled) Allied ground losses: 303 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 40 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 6 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Guns lost 6 (1 destroyed, 5 disabled) Assaulting units: 2nd Guard ADU Coastal Gun Battalion 16th Division 2nd Division 3rd Guard ADU Coastal Gun Battalion 54th JNAF AF Unit 17th Army 17th Naval Construction Battalion 44th Field AA Battalion 15th Naval Construction Battalion 51st JNAF AF Unit 41st Field AA Battalion 204th Ship Eng Coy 24th Port Unit 55th JNAF AF Unit Defending units: 87th Mountain Regiment 42nd Construction Regiment 503rd Coast AA Regiment 54th Base Group [image]local://upfiles/28990/6602177D31DD473BABBC51110DC0AB3B.jpg[/image]

*China* Having cleared the Burma road and no pressing threat in Burma yet, the 25th is moving divisions into the mountains for mop up duty. Elements of the 12th Army southwest of Ankang are doing the same. 11 Heavy ART units are 1 day away from Chungking. I'm doing about 1-2k of casualties each day now between Air and Artillery Bombardments. It will be interesting to see what the impact of the heavy ARTY is and I'll be attacking within a week. *Burma* Has been quiet since the P-38s showed up. Continuing attacks on Cox and Chittagong airfields. *SoPac* Also quiet since the last sweeps. I'm trying to get my Vals out of Suva to naval attack a TF at Tongatapu, but it's not been successful yet.

vicberg -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (8/30/2015 10:06:09 PM)
August 3rd, 1942 *SoPac* And yes, they said it couldn't be done, but I finally have a small victory at sea for the first time since the start of the war. He's been pushing units into Tongatapu. This is what started my ranting a bit ago because I couldn't control where the naval attacks would go and he had some good cap on a couple of bases within range which caused problems for my escorts which got hammered when the Vals flew. After the ranting, I started sweeping and chased his CAP away, but the ships remained. Finally, my Vals fly from Suva, no CAP against me and I get a very small victory here. Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Tongatapu at 138,168 Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid detected at 93 NM, estimated altitude 15,000 feet.

August 4th, 1942 *NoPac* Dora Harbor fell today. Also, I transferred two Sentai of G3M3 Nells from Tokyo to Unmak (a long way) and set them to Naval/Search. Imagine my surprise that they transferred and flew all the way to Seward where they encountered CAP. So that leaves me a choice. I have 120k of fuel on Oilers. KB and Surface are fully fueled. Amphib TFs are doing good on fuel. Should I continue the push or stop with Cold Bay and Dutch? I'm also debating running out with the KB and sweeping away those fighters. *China* It's most likely FOW, but his AV jumps around. At one point it was 6800 and dropping. Now it's around 7300. Either way, the heavy Artillery is doing it's job. An attack is a few days away. Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 129064 troops, 1387 guns, 788 vehicles, Assault Value = 3715 Defending force 259124 troops, 741 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 7305 Allied ground losses: 646 casualties reported Squads: 39 destroyed, 29 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 3 (3 destroyed, 0 disabled)

If you feel more stronger than the enemy go ahead and close the Aleutian front for a while. I don't know about KB, if you don't want a major commitment here I won't risk KB pilots...but I'm not an expert by any means [;)]

vicberg -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (9/1/2015 1:59:03 AM)
The keys are time and fuel. At this point, Kodiak has 13 units and Seward about the same. Dutch Harbor is showing 34k of allied troops. I don't think I want a frontal assault against Seward or Kodiak. So I either let Dutch wither, eventually take it and call it good, or while the KB is here I need to mimic Lowpe and invade Whittier now. Recon is showing 28 fighters on Kodiak and 85 fighters on Seward. With Anchorage built up to Level 8, there could be more. I'm loading up my 3 divs again, but I don't have targets yet. Considering Whittier. Let Dutch/Kodiak whither. Take Anchorage/Seward from Whittier.

August 5th, 1942 *China* I'm suddenly not in a rush to attack Chungking. Ground bombardment from the Air is taking out about 400 casualties along with taking out air supply from the air field attacks. But this is really nice to be doing every day. In a couple of weeks, at 40+ destroyed squads per day, that's 500+ less squads to attack. Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 129196 troops, 1387 guns, 788 vehicles, Assault Value = 3729 Defending force 257597 troops, 734 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 7212 Allied ground losses: 1396 casualties reported Squads: 43 destroyed, 46 disabled Non Combat: 13 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 6 (2 destroyed, 4 disabled)

August 6th. 1942 China I've published the last few China Bombardments in the hopes of trying to figure out if they are getting ripe or not. FOW steps in for all of this. Note how the AV jumps around for China constantly, but this is a huge # of destroyed troops. Group bombardments from Air Groups are causing another 700 casualties. I'll continue this for at least a few more days, but wow. Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 129231 troops, 1387 guns, 788 vehicles, Assault Value = 3732 Defending force 262452 troops, 730 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 7350 Japanese ground losses: 12 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Allied ground losses: 1416 casualties reported Squads: 145 destroyed, 7 disabled Non Combat: 30 destroyed, 13 disabled Engineers: 4 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 8 (8 destroyed, 0 disabled)

You might consider not taking Chungking at all. How many VPs are your bombardments getting you per turn?

vicberg -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (9/1/2015 4:52:39 PM)
Difficult to tell, but a great idea. How do I figure it out in tracker? I've had consistent increases of 43 to 421 over last 4 days in which the ARTY arrived at Chungking. The 421 I think came from Dora Harbor, but average around 80 increase per day overall. Not enough to increase my VP ratio.

It's worth it for the VP's for killing the Chinese alone. The industry, the base VP's and the strategic considerations (ie, the CEA can be sent off anywhere you wish) make deciding NOT to take Chungking a very stupid move. Even assuming every one of vicbergs units gets trashed taking the city, that just makes them cheaper to buy out for use elsewhere in the empire...

The VPs for killing Chinese is what I was thinking about. With the respawns you could (possibly) create a never ending VP generator at Chungking just using bombardments. If you get say 5 VPs per turn multiplied by 1000 turns that is 5000 VPs.

It's a really interesting idea, but also a bit on the gamey side. The spawning on units in Chungking is a game convention to give China half a chance. IRL I'm sure units were spawned all over the country. Same with the 350 replacements each month. With the level of destruction my ARTY is doing I can be patient now. If I'm lucky Bill might start getting worried and launch an attack.

August 7th 1942 *China* I'm not sure what to do with Chungking. I'm taking out supply every day from the air. I'm doing major damage on the ground, but his AV, though jumping around a lot, is jumping higher overall. Also, his troop count from recon is continuing to increase and now showing 408k worth of troops (160K stacking limit). I'm starting to think an attack is needed soon, though it may be painful. Also, I have 162k worth of troops (slightly overstack), 10 divisions, 20 ART, 5 ARM Regiments and 1 ARM Division. I have 1 HQ (China Command) in the hex and 4 HQs (1 Army and 3 Corp) 1 hex away. Support is showing red for most of the IDs. I'm debating on whether to remove one of the divisions (220 AV, low experience and still heavily disrupted) and put all the HQ in the hex for support/motorized support. I'm not sure what the affect of support does on a combat. Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 129436 troops, 1390 guns, 790 vehicles, Assault Value = 3756 Defending force 267203 troops, 721 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 7536 Allied ground losses: 1519 casualties reported Squads: 83 destroyed, 57 disabled Non Combat: 14 destroyed, 5 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 2 disabled Guns lost 19 (8 destroyed, 11 disabled) Assaulting units: 13th Tank Regiment 59th Division 40th Division 1st Tank Division 69th Division 34th Division 12th Tank Regiment 6th Division 23rd Tank Regiment 26th Division 70th Division 41st Division 39th Division 15th Tank Regiment 110th Division 11th Tank Regiment 11th Ind.Hvy.Art Battalion China Expeditionary Army 1st Ind.Hvy.Art.

Lowpe -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (9/2/2015 1:35:05 PM)
First off, do a comparison of land units in Chungking, go back to your first attack there. This will tell you the number of infantry units respawned there with 30% combat squads and no guns. I definitely would pull out your disabled troops one hex back to rest and recover. You want to attack with low disruption and low fatigue. You may even rest in the town to the west. Patience, and realize Chungking is going to be a long siege battle. Keep pounding away daily with bombardments and bombing. Is there any AA left firing? Try flying some single engine divebombers in to use up the machine gun AA ammo, especially on days you are planning on attacking.

vicberg -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (9/2/2015 1:56:35 PM)
Still unclear on what "support" does. With the HQs 1 hex away, I'm definitely lacking. So go with 9 IDs and all the HQs to have sufficient "support". This gets me back under stacking limits also. I've scheduled 4 sentai to do a 1000 foot airfield run. They won't hit a darn thing because it's it's a LOW skill, but it should help me figure out what the supply situation is there. Comparing my first attack to the second, and I'm not sure what to make of this, he had 22 Corp on the first attack. He now has 44 Corp, so approx 1/2 of his ground troops would be respawn at 30% and no guns. Starting with 18 Auxiliary units (HQs, ART,Bases, etc), he now has 38. Don't know how they respawn, but figure similar. I'll see how this airfield attack goes to determine if he's still has supply.

vicberg -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (9/2/2015 2:02:14 PM)
So, taking into account FOW, I've already taken out this month his replacements, especially if I'm removing enough supply in addition. I haven't killed any units (on purpose) in the last few weeks, so doubtful much more will be respawning. The respawns are most likely the cause for the tremendous over stack. According to Bill, there's a roll for being over stacked to determine if disruption occurs. Somehow during the last combat, all of his units made their rolls. Is this the experience of others? Also, do you base stacking on all troops (first line and second) that are in the hex or simply the first line troops? In the last attack, he showed 145k of troops attacking, when there was 300k in the hex according to recon.

Lowpe -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (9/2/2015 2:31:24 PM)
Excess support needs be in hex, and I believe in combat mode. That way they can arrange movies, sake parties, etc., etc.
