Nov 11, 1943 Massive tank battle north of Shwebo...the Allies don't bomb them, though they are swept by Corsairs and Hellcats. A few Franks fight them getting decent attrition rates. The AA is super nasty...but the bombers have to hit them to deplete supply and hopefully raise disruption. [image]local://upfiles/44178/29A263BDE0604EF0B36445BE0F635413.jpg[/image]

Can my armored cars and SNLF 43 infantry take care of these tanks? Don't know, but I expect I will find out! [image]local://upfiles/44178/2725FC05A8C140C3AEA1EB63654CC548.jpg[/image]

Burma...3 Allied Corps isolated...feels good for now. But the Allied bombers have been resting now for 3 days. Where will they hit? [image]local://upfiles/44178/BA163F6998234EF98610E452C1A7F857.jpg[/image]

The American Subs are concentrating! But the Kitchen Sink doesn't move?[&:] Sinking sounds were heard during the day...but nothing listed. The big xAP that had got fires down to 9 takes a turn for the worse and fires run rampant exploding up to 80. She was hit by a sub the other day.[:@] [image]local://upfiles/44178/2974C73767B749C8830CEC428DB1C7B5.jpg[/image]

Another targeted raid...the chances of failure are very high, as planes search out to 4 hexes automatically. Over Seward the Allies swept with close to 200 fighters today. Japanes LRCAP took the day off. [;)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/585AD2CD241C40739138A287795B5E21.jpg[/image]

That is an odd path. Maybe subs? Wa

WooHoo...more victory points for the Allies. [;)] In my last game, I never got further than the Katsuragi. All other fleet carriers will be built by Jan of 1944. What a difference it will make I think. Not to mention all the tracom pilots.[:)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/A35F9BC0DB1745AF8FC7BA46EEA4A733.jpg[/image]

In 4 more days 2 squadrons of Georges show up. Finally. That will give Jocke something else to worry about.[:)] Just noticed the Ikoma's TB sentai can upgrade straight to the Grace! Yippee! I resized them to 27, and they will await that plane which will most likely arrive in April of 1944.

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/11/2017 6:14:21 PM)
State of Japan: Industry in excellent shape. Very pleased with r&d and the unlooked for appearance of advanced Jills with the Ikoma means that I will be able to upgrade all squadrons to the Grace in April that are capable of Grace upgrades. Tanker losses to subs have been heavy, but there is still more than enough. Really only have about 8 more months of fuel/oil shipments from the SRA (my goal is to keep it flowing till June 44 from Singers). Reserves: 4 Divisions resting, rebuilding (almost all done), and training (sadly not started yet) at Tokyo. But they are bought out and there is plentiful shipping present. Marianas: 1 Division+ at all major bases, building up the defense at the others. With the resounding victory at Midway, the immediate pressure is off for now...and with the Deathstar near Horn Island. Had Midway fallen, the road to the Marianas would be wide open...hard to think of a more critical base in 1943 than Midway. Burma: In a critical phase right now. I have given up trying to protect the industry at either Rangoon or Magwe which are both in perfect shape, but rather I am focusing on destroying some Allied divisions. It is concievable (but unlikely) I wipe out 4+ divisions 100%. I am unclear if this really will mean any slowdown however -- I suspect that the Allies might pull back and launch a super invasion rather than proceed overland. I don't like being in Burma in 1944. SRA: As always this was my great fear of an Allied advance. Why it hasn't happened is anyones guess. Biskmark Sea: Fall of Rabaul hurts, but Allies aren't exploiting their victory here. KB will make Guam and then on to Boela area most likely. However there are a great many surface ships within striking range of Taberfane. I am probably close to my goal of 20 SAG task forces. But do I have the nerve to send them in? Maybe...but it might be better to save them for Luzon/Mindanao or the Marianas.

Canoerebel -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/11/2017 7:28:55 PM)
If seen experienced and smart player tenaciously argue that Midway isn't very important in the game. I agree with you - it is.

The Kursk of Burma the clash of the tin titans.

Nov 12, 1943 Whither the Allied Deathstar....night reports show it just off Horn in a holding position. [image]local://upfiles/44178/ACF6DABA1BB24EA3B59BB2F7598783B7.jpg[/image]

Allied 4E hammer the troops north of Shwebo...but not that badly thanks to all the AA. [image]local://upfiles/44178/D18991A0114244A2B79A1066E61565A1.jpg[/image]

Once again I tried to sweep my own base.[:(] I can't tell you how many times I forget that rule... I end up losing 18 Bettys to very light CAP...miss the Pennsylvania but at least get this puppy. Sinking sounds heard. [image]local://upfiles/44178/BAB13EC487004EFC85149C3D31189D37.jpg[/image]

My attempts at wiping out two divisions and one brigade continue. Bad weather socks in the twin engine bombers, but Oscars fly. Nicks are resting. [image]local://upfiles/44178/B05B110FC78C439AAAEF8029BCB6EB7D.jpg[/image]

Nice. Miss a 2-1 by about 20 AV. [image]local://upfiles/44178/EF22F26350B343F396827842D3829DC7.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/12/2017 11:31:58 AM)
Midway. One tank unit is at 0 AV the Canadians at 16. Divebombers make their runs and encounter no flak. Perhaps the time is now to unleash the SNLF and armored cars? [image]local://upfiles/44178/19ED50D5381546E980DF8393947F9C03.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/12/2017 11:44:34 AM)
The question for the Allies is are they willing to lose 10 bombers a day hitting the troops north of Shwebo to prevent the destruction of two more Allied units...and the answer is he almost certainly has to. The troops were swept heavily by Jugs and Corsairs. No resistance in the air from Japan. [image]local://upfiles/44178/05DC348F46134897877ED90DBE8C2B3D.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/12/2017 11:52:21 AM)
There are so many good targets for Allied bombers...where they are sent tells me a lot of what the Allies value. [image]local://upfiles/44178/5F359723CB0C445489F0005F7A61D455.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/12/2017 1:34:39 PM)
The Myrt is in the future for Japan, but tomorrow I will allocate a r&d factory to it. I still have two more big groups of r&d facilities to roll into new planes...from the A6M8 and the Tony lines. I am hard pressed right now to figure out what to do with them....given this is a pdu off game. That eliminates the kamikazes. All the late war fighters except for Ki94II don't have many squadrons. Maybe something really exotic? Or just a real bum rush into the Ki94II? [image]local://upfiles/44178/E45A4B5F0AFA42FC91CA3D70891DEE56.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/12/2017 3:03:10 PM)
Perhaps the Ki83 twin engine fighter is worth r&d...at least 4 squadrons of Oscars upgrade to it...so that is a large improvement...unlike going for final George to Shinden for example. Patsy might be a choice as is the Kikka. It is really tough picking end game planes in pdu off...would be a real headache without tracker.[&o]

Lowpe -> RE: Gnashing of Teeth: Cries of Fury (7/13/2017 11:58:14 AM)
Nov 13, 1943 Midway...despite being about 1/3rd overstacked disruption is low. Might attack again today. [image]local://upfiles/44178/1A7505F0D6284B6799FDE4EBF4CB5CC5.jpg[/image]
