31. Sep/Oct 1944. Destroyed Pool.
The Western Allies, really the USN in particular, had a very good turn in the Pacific. They managed to clear out the IJN and take full control of the Bismarck and Solomon sea areas. In the South China Sea, the RN, while not able to do the same, did managed to loosen the Japanese grip on that area. The breakdown of naval actions for these three areas is:
Bismarck Sea Area: 4 rounds of combat over 3 impulses.
Solomons: 1 round over 1 impulse.
South China Sea: 1 round over 1 impulse.
As good as things went for the Western Allies in the Pacific, they went poorly for them both in the Atlantic and on land in Europe. The Atlantic will be covered later in the CP losses report. On land, the Western Allies tried to hit both the Germans and Japanese hard on their first impulse. Unfortunately, on five important attacks with a 70% chance, or better, of succeeding (i.e., capturing a city or destroying an enemy force) they rolled three 3's, one 2, and one 1. All five 70% chance attacks failed to achieve their objective! So go the fortunates of war. The breakdowns of the land combat for both areas area:
Pacific (Western Allies) Land Combat Breakdown: 3:1A 1
Europe (Western Allies) Land Combat Breakdown: 7 assault and 1 blitz, or 8 total, land combats.
1:1A 1
3:1A 1
5:1A 4
7:1A 1
7:1B 1
Soviets Land Combat Breakdown: 3 assault and 7 blitz, or 10 total, land combat.
2:1A 1
5:1A 2
2:1B 1
4:1B 3
5:1B 1
7:1B 2
communist Chinese vs IJA Land Combat Breakdown: 1 assault at 4:1A.
German Land Combat on Western Allies Breakdown: 1 attack at 2:1B and 1 attack, on a partisan, at 10:1A.
IJA Land Combat Breakdown for China: 2 blitz (1 at 5:1B and 1 at 6:1B).
