The mighty 1st Division...they know how to wield a shovel. [image]local://upfiles/44178/7EC6C23BF3D84D43ADCA5CCC951E987C.jpg[/image]

Not a particularly good day, let us see if I set something up for today. [image]local://upfiles/44178/1BBD949A513D48C0A3998A0F86023EF2.jpg[/image]

The 9th Division saw the brunt of the fighting today....and have been put into reserve no pursuit mode for tomorrow. They, too, know how to wield a shovel. [image]local://upfiles/44178/5C501BE0CDA148CC98D4EB08B4CD5CA1.jpg[/image]

I will try to flip a turn tonight...so Jocke can do another turn before his vacation. This is it...I will discover the full extent of San Diego's defenses. I am gratified to see that my battleships reload even from a size 0 port. Very important...

Fully agree, it is the best chance of really inflicting pain. Most experienced Allied players will generally have their fleet CVs one hex back or to the side of the invasion hex for a degree of safety from mines, MTBs, CD guns, subs and surface forces. Limiting the range of your strike aircraft and a whole lot of luck may allow you to get at those juicy targets full of troops or CVEs. [:)]

Though, I am a little nervous in finding another opponent as dedicated, skilled and reliable as Mike (wargmr).

I almost played you before you started playing him, but you guys played at a pace I wouldn't have been able to keep. Lowpe, you are getting thrashed in the air, good buddy.

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 11:08:37 AM)
The night .... Allies move heavily on Port Blair... I expect the Allied Carriers are one hex north of Port Blair... [image]local://upfiles/44178/5E5B329A00C743D0A2FA5BBAF555524C.jpg[/image] 7 troops lost here...

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 11:28:51 AM)
An incredibly long fight... IJN torpedoes expended, some at very close range and all miss... [image]local://upfiles/44178/13128C8F80934DE2A76E84BB9F7F139E.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 11:33:47 AM)
Spokane bombed... LA fire bombed and swept... Small strikes hit the landings at Port Blair... all to minimal effect. [image]local://upfiles/44178/627893A7FC8B4FACBACF30CC192394A8.jpg[/image] Japanese ships in precarious positions and are savaged in the afternoon.

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 11:40:44 AM)
San Diego is strong... [image]local://upfiles/44178/A554442C972D48B4B92A79D035E687BA.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 11:42:16 AM)
Even worse...their artillery is effective. IJN bombard San Diego during the daytime...to generally poor results. [image]local://upfiles/44178/B44A78F1E158487DB169EB96844E2A8A.jpg[/image]

And worse in the seas... [image]local://upfiles/44178/286352E509A24F0C812FF207ECCA4512.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 11:56:20 AM)
The presence of the 31st Regt at San Diego is disheartening. Means most likely he is flying in troops and I am not intercepting the transports... On the positive side I think 3 P51b Mustang factories were destroyed. Hmm., not doing too well here.[:)]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 12:01:44 PM)
Well, I was hoping to sneak behind the Allies lines with the cruiser raid here... and there was some good targets, but just didn't make it. Teach me to try and nibble at the Allied Navy concentrated like that.[:-] Two divisions, parts of basically, have landed at Port Blair. Every Allied carrier is behind Port Blair with more troops and ships. Four Cruiser squadrons are at Port Blair. [image]local://upfiles/44178/E71709B6D6234738AEE3AF349C06A650.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/9/2016 12:08:31 PM)
Allies bomb heavily here to little effect... [image]local://upfiles/44178/623BA4D90A67438EB26B47AEFF493EEA.jpg[/image]

Hey, Big. I looked a long time ago, and I believe those Patton led Armor units are white restricted.

In fact if the forts are high then unfortunately you won't. I would just try to bleed him a little bit and rack up the points whilst commencing planning the withdrawal. Even a deliberate attack can be dangerous now, because if your forces get too weak or disrupted then he will come rolling over the top. A fantastic effort to get even this close in 43. [&o]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/11/2016 3:09:06 PM)
Thanks NJP... This was always a shot in the dark...terribly disappointed to see all those divisions there in San Diego. Oh, well, that is how the cookie crumbles for Japan. I might be able to get San Diego...if my ships can bombard better and there is a shortage of supply there. Fat chance.
