Courtenay -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (5/15/2016 5:53:59 AM)

Where are the Chinese CAV divisions? These are very useful, cheap (1 BP) units. They should not go on the front line. Instead, they should go to out of the way sectors, where they threaten to run behind the Japanese and grab cities. This forces the Japanese to defend the cities. Japan only has so much production, and forcing them to garrison rear area cities is almost as good as bombing their production. Units they must spend to garrison are units that are not attacking the Chinese.

I've been trying to do that but I've also used the CAV division to soak up losses. Staring now they are immediately assigned to raiding duties!

Japan's naval objectives this impulse were to take complete control of the South China Sea, reinforce the Philippines and sweep the skies of US planes in the China Sea. The Japanese accomplished all three but at a cost.

Turn 22. Mar/Apr 1943. Axis #3. IJN. China Sea. Round 2.

Round 2 sees the USA finding, surprising and isolating sea box 0, which contains a loaded transport. This is looking to be a total disaster for the Japanese. However, the Japanese fighter unit able to shoot down both USA bomber units before being shot down itself. This leaves no USA bombers in the area to attack the Japanese transport or convoys. A victory for the Japanese.

Both sides stay, with the Japanese hoping that the battle ends.

But it doesn't. Another Japanese fighter unit is downed before they can end the round.

At a cost, the Japanese accomplished their objective of clearing the skies in the China Sea of allied bombers.
