Thanks to your help and Michael and others, I'm getting a feel for ground combat. Air combat is still kicking my a$$. Not sure what to do with Oscars. They just aren't very good planes.

ny59giants -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (7/26/2015 1:24:26 AM)
You are the point in early to mid 42 where the shortcomings of the Oscars show up. The Allies get better planes with the Hurricanes and their pilots have had time to do some training. Many Japanese player put even more pressure on their Zero groups until the Tojos come out to rule the skies for the rest of 42.

vicberg -> RE: Did I wake that giant AGAIN? vicberg(j) vs. BillBrown(A) - No Bill Pls (7/26/2015 2:43:42 AM)
That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm pushing 3 zero sentai over to Burma. Probably more if I can scrape them up. I have about 9 AA (company up to battalion) on the oil fields, but they seem pretty ineffective. Oscars do feel like pretty bad planes.

April 12th, 1942 Northern China From what I read, China is difficult for any Allied player. I'm not really sure what's he's trying to accomplish. The armored thrust pushed back the defenders from Tienshui and are are moving west. Meanwhile, his forces to the south are moving east. Perhaps he doesn't have any recon going in China because I have numerous divisions not part of the main thrust due to stacking limits. If he tries south of Sian, that's good defensive terrain for me, and north of Sian is clear terrain and he'll get smashed. I took a pop at Chinese divisions attempting to cross the river north of Sian. The attack did quite well in spite of the good defensive terrain. Ground combat at 82,40 (near Sian) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 20867 troops, 154 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 460 Defending force 24871 troops, 75 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 580 Japanese adjusted assault: 403 Allied adjusted defense: 1042 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 492 casualties reported Squads: 5 destroyed, 60 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Allied ground losses: 863 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 83 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 19 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 6 disabled Assaulting units: 63rd Division 59th Division 12th Army Defending units: 16th Chinese Corps 36th Chinese Corps Red Chinese Army 22nd Group Army [image]local://upfiles/28990/B9DAF54775B04E2381A78CF21B5921B6.jpg[/image]

Central China Again, I'm wondering if no recon? He's just now retreating from the central area. Maybe he thought I would turn north after Kwellin? The 25th Army is now in Hengyang.

Northern OZ Darwin fell today. I'm going to take the 2nd Division and push it south for a ways. Invasions will be going off on the rest of the northern coast as divisions from Luzon are transported down to Java.

Darwin - Daly Waters - Katherine - Tennant Creek Once you get outside of Darwin, these bases daily Supplies (max draw) is based on base size (AF + Forts). As Allied player, I can invest BFs in building up Tennant Creek as it will help me once I come back if Japan is slow in capturing Northern Australia like you are. Thus, be careful what you build up on this trail for bases. Many Japanese players go down to Tennant Creek and keep a small force there as a tripwire to Allied counteroffensive. Once you capture Darwin, I would place a small Sentai (9 planes) of recon broken down into 3 plane Chutai to explore the bases down to and including Alice Spring to see what the Allies have here.

April 14th, 1942 I believe this called the Eggshell Affect, after the German Army simply ran out of troops in France and were force to do a massive withdrawal. My only worry right now is exhaustion for my troops, otherwise, the Chinese simply can't hold up. a 3-1, but didn't take the city. I probably should hold up the 11th Army and give it time to rest, but I want to keep the pressure on.

SoPac An Allied SCTF, led by the Canberra, managed to get a bombardment in on Suva. Note, that I detected this force south of Suva yesterday. I flew some sentai of Kates and Vals into Suva and adjoining base, but my Kates didn't fly and neither did the Netties out of Noumea. Sigh. Air combat is still a huge weakness for me. They were within escort range, well within bombing range. Didn't fly at all though set to naval.

April 15th, 1942 The collapse in China has officially begun. Changsha is Japanese. The city directly west of it will be Japanese by tomorrow. The LOC from Vietnam to Shanghai/Fusan is now open and fuel/resources will hopefully start flowing. The Chinese are in full retreat in the center and getting pummeled in the north. There's no pressing need for the 25th Army right now, so it will continue to focus for a while in central china before I pull it out or possible race it across China to Burma. I'm going to reassign the Netties and zeroes at Noumea to the Air HQ that's stationed there and see if that makes a difference. Preparing for further invasions of Northern and Northeastern OZ.

April 16th, 1942 Siangtan falls. Shaoyang tomorrow. I've decided to keep the 25th Army in China and speed the collapse. For the 2nd straight day, Allied SCTF makes a deep strike, this time next to Nadi. They were seen, but my planes didn't fly. I've reassigned them all to the 9th Air Flotilla on Noumea. The 3rd Air Flotilla is at Luganville. I've moved some more Nells down to there and reassigned them. Both HQs loaded with torpedoes. Both have good supply. I've moved more naval search also. Something better happen or it will be time to sacrifice a live chicken to the WITP gods and I feel sorry for the chickens.

April 17th, 1942 Lieutenant Eto is sitting outside his tent. He's been stationed at Noumea for a few months now. There's been nothing going on except for some training drills. His Co-Pilot, Airman Mika is sitting next to him. Both of them are out of uniform, with only shorts and tank tops. "Stop boggarting the joint dude, that's an order", says the Lieutenant as he reaches over for it. "What?" is the Airman's only response, taking another drag. "This stuff is righteous...(pauses for a minute and realizes he forgot)...sir!" As the air siren horns suddenly blaze across the base and air crews are being ordered to their planes through the intercom, Eto and Mika are startled enough to fall over in their chairs. They shamble as best they can into their tent, grabbing as much of their flight gear as they can. As they shamble towards their plane, they see the squadron commander blowing a whistle as loud as possible over the siren and making hand symbols as if to stop. With their uniforms draped over their shoulders, arms, one pants leg on and Mika's flight cap on sideways and half blocking his vision, they stop and notice that the rest of the squadron looks the same as them. Most of them desperately trying to get their clothes on, many hopping on one leg trying to get pants on. The squadron commander is coming towards them screaming. They quickly turn around and start back towards their tent. "HALT!" They both heard that clearly. "Give me that" and the commander takes the joint. As they look back sheepishly at the commander, they can see he's taking a puff.

Paoshan is in China on the Burma side and I think the IJA was stopped near it. Tsuyung is the end of the Burma Road and it was invested (overland I think) but held. Kunming is a short rail farther and it was invested even more seriously but held. Definitely agree get all you can there because the terrain/stacking/supply choke points makes capturing things there difficult and your defense might obstruct the Allies on this route for a long time.

In the north, I have 8-9 divisions, most in good if not full strength and experience 70-90. In the center I now have 10+ divisions and have transferred 3 more over from the 13th Army, since Wenchow is looking as strong as ever. The remainder of the 13th is on it's own to take Wenchow. That could easily be the last city standing. The key is 10 armored regiments. Where they go, the Chinese fall. There's been no counter attack into Burma as of yet and probably premature for him now anyway. I've also destroyed somewhere around 2000-3000 Chinese squads over the last month. I believe he has too much committed toward trying to cutoff Sian also. Probably 20+ units there. Ok, I'll continue the thrust.

April 18th, 1942 I wish Bill had an AAR so he might get a bit of help. Perhaps he doesn't need it, but I do believe his strategy around Sian will help escalate the fall of China. This happened yesterday. He crossed the river just north of Sian. Because I have that lovely road, I can quickly shift troops as I can see the movement coming days in advance. He landed on top of a division and brigade.

I may not know the mechanics of this game very well, but having played wargames for 35 years, I know a bit on strategy and tactics. His strategy in the north will doom China as he's allowing me to destroy his army in mass. For the rest of the China war, the 25th Army will be tasked with Kweiyang and then push towards Burma. It has 3 crack divisions, arty and armor and stacking limits prevent anything more. The 11th Army will move towards Chungking, possibly transferring a division for reinforcement/reserve of the 25th. The 13th Army will take over garrison duty of the center until it rebuilds some more. The 1st Army will continue it's push towards Chengtu and then towards Changsha. The 12th Army will continue it's defense of Sian and then push towards Ankang. If everything goes to plan, the bulk of the Chinese army will be destroyed around Ankang and Changsha will be caught between a hammer and a vice and roughly 12+ divisions.

Recon Ledo to see how many transport planes he has there. Key base for Allied resupply efforts into China. You may need to send your Sally & Helens there. Beware, there may be a high number of AA guns there. [:-] I move the big AA brigade from Colombo to this base. Add in a few heavy AA units and I get over 100 heavy AA guns there.

Another question. I remember that it helped to have experienced pilots within your training groups. Yet, when I check (all have good leaders now), I'm not seeing a big difference if any on the training speed. Is this a myth?

It will take a light industry 1000 days to produce the supply it costs to repair itself. Are you sure this base will still be yours in March of 1945? Are you sure you wont be short of supply before that date, and wish you had not invested it in repairs?

I expanded R&D and noticed a dramatic slowdown. Didn't notice that there's a lot going on with Maebashi. Engines, R&D, plus Air Production. I've noticed a slowdown in repairs for the expansions. I'm guessing there's a limit on how much can be repaired at a single location in a day. I'm not expanding industry anywhere. Just R&D and air production and wondering what the limitations are. I would have distributed better if I had seen all that going on in one location. Ya, not sure on experienced pilots in air groups. Not seeing a massive difference.

My rule of thumb on Japanese R&D and air/engine production is to have on hand the minimum 10k of supply at a base to initiate repair and an additional 1k supply per number of factories that could repair in one day. So if there is a base that has six factories set to repair/expand then I make sure I have a minimum of 16k stockpiled at the base. I usually set all my bases to stockpile 20k. Once I do that, I never worry about whether I have enough supply on hand for repairs. As far as I know, the only reason a factory wouldn't repair, no matter the number repairing at the same time, would be a lack of supply. I have never seen any documentation that there is a limit for how many factories can repair at a base in one day.

quote: ORIGINAL: witpqs quote: ORIGINAL: vicberg Another question. I remember that it helped to have experienced pilots within your training groups. Yet, when I check (all have good leaders now), I'm not seeing a big difference if any on the training speed. Is this a myth? I recall a developer saying it was in the code, but that doesn't mean it has to be a big effect. Of course, the initial statement could have been wrong anyway. It is in one of the readme or pdfs in the folder. It does help, but how much? Who knows.
