Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. Land Combat. Oliba, Sardinia.

To rub salt in the Western Allies wound, their attack to take Olbia, Sardinia failed once again. And, to add more salt, the Italians since reinforce Olbia with a 3-3 infantry corps, which now means two corps defend that city.

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. Sea Areas.

On the up side, Japan's presence was completely swept from the China and South China Seas. And strategic bombing totally negated their oil and production.

The Allies needed to make the Italian Coast safe for Democracy's Battleships and just plastered the place...



rkr1958 -> RE: Global War: Japanese Aggression (12/5/2015 3:50:53 PM)

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. South China Sea.

Japan does have 8 oil points stored in the Dutch East Indies but with no naval presence in the South China and China Seas they have no way to use them.

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. Southern China. Philippines.

I'm a victim of history and the war in the Pacific thinking that I need to keep such a large USN naval force in the Pacific. With all going on in the Med and in the Atlantic I need to start redeploying some of the USN from the Pacific to Europe.

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. Japan. China Sea.

Even with Japan's lack of oil and production, it's still slow going in Japan because of the terrain.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War: Japanese Aggression (12/5/2015 3:57:10 PM)

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. Land Combat. Kyoto, Japan.

In fact, a land combat with an O-chit to double the attack factors failed to take Kyoto, Japan, defended by only a single corps.

Centuur -> RE: Global War: Japanese Aggression (12/6/2015 11:54:38 AM)

If I were the Allies, I would not open a second front at all in France at this time. The USSR has got a lot of room it can retreat into and it has a pretty strong army.

Japan first. A second invasion around Sapporo/Sendai would be the end of the Japanese. You need an army up north...

Great advice which results in major shakeups at White Hall and the Pentagon. These shakeups also cause a (re)focusing of allied near-term objectives, which are: (1) defeat of Japan, (2) naval supremacy in the Med (or the destruction of Italian and Germany air and naval power in the Med) and (3) securing allied convoy lines. Near time objectives (2) and (3) are deemed to be necessary before any more allied amphibious operations aimed at securing landings in Europe are attempted.

Aye, Aye ... Flanking invasions to the north and exploitation from the beachheads successful. General Clark in command of this new combined army.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War: Japanese Aggression (12/8/2015 2:46:05 AM)

Turn 25. Sep/Oct 1943. Land Combat. Flanking Amphibious Invasions.

It paid to roll well, especially on the second invasion. Staying organized allowed quick expansion from both invasion sites.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War: Japanese Aggression (12/8/2015 2:49:53 AM)

Turn 25. Sep/Oct 1943. Land Combat. Canton, China. Central Japan.

The Nationalist Chinese once again try to liberate Canton, China and miss it by 1!

MacArthur with a o-chit used to continue the push up through central Japan. Kyoto falls this time to the Americans. A follow-up land combat on the next turn and not shown allows the allies to advance one more hex through the mountains and closer to Tokyo.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War: Japanese Aggression (12/8/2015 3:21:29 AM)

Turn 25. Sep/Oct 1943. Western Med. Corsica. Italian Coast.

Now turning to near-term objective (2), which is the destruction of axis air and naval power in the Med, fierce naval battles occurred both in the Western Med and in the Italian Coast. Both battles were costly to the Western Allies.

Three USN fleet carriers were redeployed from the Pacific to the Med this turn.

(Not Shown) They moved from the Manila to the East Med to deal with an Italian surface raider, the heavy cruiser Bolzano that rained havoc on allied convoys there, sinking three CPs and forcing a fourth to abort. Amazing this lone Italian cruiser managed to survive but was damaged.

Turn 25. Sep/Oct 1943. Weather. Actions.

Now turning to Germany's near term objectives. (1) Throw the allies in France back into the sea, (2) continue their push against the Soviets and weather permits and (3) get their large u-boat fleet (11 units total) into action against and sinking allied convoys.

Fine weather in the east for impulse pairs 2 & 3 and a short turn prevented execution of objective 3, that is, moving the 11 German u-boats out to sea.

Turn 25. Sep/Oct 1943. Land Combat. France.

Almost. The allies are barely holding onto to France. For the near-term, no additional landings are expected. However, reinforce of Bordeaux is promised.
