The night of August 1st sees MrKane's patrol boats start chewing up the newly released Russian Subs. [image]local://upfiles/45141/5A730B88E1794DF587D470B632028940.jpg[/image]

With the entire Japanese surface fleet just hexes away there is not much for the newly arrived Soviet fleet to do but Banzai!!! I was hoping to hit a few escort groups first but meh... [image]local://upfiles/45141/BF19E9A0471946E789D106A1C63A4DC5.jpg[/image]

Battleship bombardments go in against the Russians for the 2nd day. Most of the airplanes have retreated to a safer airfield. The return fire is vicious and at least one battleship loses it's radar mount. [image]local://upfiles/45141/F0C065FCECD14C91B1D76FCE300000A6.jpg[/image]

The mutsu just gets pummeled... Most of the hits bounced but I saw at least 1 203mm do severe damage to the damage control parties. [image]local://upfiles/45141/DF4ED88A25EB447F80639F28F32DE0FE.jpg[/image]

August 2, 1945 First land combat in Russia. The recon unit in Tamsag does not stand up to an 50,000 troop army. The army will move south through the forest along the dirt road to the plains below. [image]local://upfiles/45141/62D1B11CF7F749A381A4978A9A0D2392.jpg[/image]

August 3, 1945 Subs continue to struggle against escorts. This was an interesting combat. Did not realize the Takao had ASW capabilities as it is the one engaging the sub. [image]local://upfiles/45141/B3EB7E4030B04706837AEAD494BC5EB3.jpg[/image]

All four of that class - Atago, Takao, Maya and Chokai carry depth charges. Seems quite ridiculous that a big ship like a CA could try to maneuver onto a submarine contact, given the former's turning radius.

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (3/31/2018 3:27:38 AM)
The Takao really needed more ASW ammo. Later in the day it takes a torpedo from another submarine. Subsequently on August 4, 1945 she takes another 4 torpedo's and sinking sounds are heard. [image]local://upfiles/45141/FA4E567401C04852B07130A102FFFAB5.jpg[/image]

Here is a shot of a particularly well coordinated Japanese strike going in. [image]local://upfiles/45141/32FA8DBB5AB4490A9A3FC655AF46AA65.jpg[/image]

I get a lucky surprise attack with my night bombing groups. MrKane was not likely expecting anything as I rarely use 4EB for naval attack but I thought I would give it a go. Fortunately the bombers took out the entire AKE force stationed near Russia. Here is an example of one of many bombings. [image]local://upfiles/45141/A8472C4FC60244B0A858256BB24A5F62.jpg[/image]

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (3/31/2018 3:10:31 PM)
Air attacks fly against armor that is surging forward ahead of the main attack. In this case self propelled assault guns. Mostly secondary vehicles being destroyed but it created a large amount of disruption to those units. [image]local://upfiles/45141/EDBE678A687043F6A002DB7D84F22644.jpg[/image]

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (3/31/2018 3:32:01 PM)
Hailar falls on August 5, 1945 By this time it has become apparent that MrKane has decided to lightly garrison the perimeter of Manchuko and put the majority of his troops at Harbin and other industrial centers. This prompts a change of plan for some units. [image]local://upfiles/45141/D70F3C046A5A403EB7EA5BBCBE42CE84.jpg[/image]

Lopei is vacant and taken over by Russian armor on August 6, 1945. [image]local://upfiles/45141/0A25476B466447A6AE0C9D9DCB289E1D.jpg[/image]

MrKane takes a peek at my carrier forces. [image]local://upfiles/45141/03FDC50D435345EAA0A0605CFCC8278E.jpg[/image]

Ichang falls to the Chinese liberation front. It will still be a long march to Peiping. [image]local://upfiles/45141/528E955287814711AC3CEEAD19D710D5.jpg[/image]

The Russians drop an airborne unit into Titshar and get a 1-2 result despite the much larger unit stationed in the base. [image]local://upfiles/45141/629B938C59CE4CD48E7704399CF1545F.jpg[/image]

Before MrKane catches on to my plan I send a large bombardment force to Taonan. [image]local://upfiles/45141/1FB815BECE534CE2BAFFB73B418F8966.jpg[/image]

Mishan falls on August 8, 1945. Again, not defended. [image]local://upfiles/45141/34650B6BF3314EC198EECDC1369E78A8.jpg[/image]

Night bombardments go in on the coast at Port Arthur, Antung and Keijo. Several destroyers hit mines at Keijo and south at Moppo when those destroyers tried to raid Fusan. [image]local://upfiles/45141/B7BB5C598E934B3D8F0117300FDFE819.jpg[/image]

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (4/7/2018 5:29:41 PM)
What makes MrKane tough to play against for me is that he only needs somewhere between 100 & 200 fighters and he can pierce my CAP typically. Here is a picture of a strike with only 4 bombers and his fighters. If I put up high CAP he will go low of course. No damage but still a heart stopper every time ;] [image]local://upfiles/45141/252F147C9346408390EFEC0EA9B5F542.jpg[/image]

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (4/7/2018 5:33:48 PM)
MrKane is bombing targets of opportunity in Russia, usually advance armor groups. He has had minor effect on movement and readiness. [image]local://upfiles/45141/52DCCB12B38C49BFAE589B60B29AA0A1.jpg[/image]

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (4/7/2018 5:44:47 PM)
The recon at Anshan was reporting low troop levels and numbers. So I decided to try to drop my paratroops here For some reason they never dropped which was a good thing. Here is a major bombardment by air. It's results were disappointing. Instead of the 2 units I thought were there it turns out it was 2 divisons plus a whole lot more.

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (4/7/2018 5:52:41 PM)
A few turns ago I had a nice catch of ships at Fusan that were not CAP'd. This turn it goes the other way with me forgetting to turn off the attack and not providing escorts. I would be mad at myself but this happens regularly :/ [image]local://upfiles/45141/FB867F678FAB48E7966A56D1701BE3D7.jpg[/image]

Mike McCreery -> RE: Kane and Unable ;] (4/7/2018 6:05:35 PM)
Takao finally falls after massive bombardments by air and sea and ground attacks to reduce lvl 6 forts to 0. It also took quite a bit of diverted armor assets to expedite the process. [image]local://upfiles/45141/3F8A82C7AB8649A88FA302A2EB914BD4.jpg[/image]
