Not much Soviet air activity this day. [image]local://upfiles/44178/846BB20B1AB44DA099F33DE5AB27337E.jpg[/image]

That's about all you can do to stretch IJ AV ... get key bases to 8+

Here or Palembang... Conventional wisdom is that without Palembang Japan is done. But I am done already, put a fork in me. [;)] Palembang will never provide much oil to Japan, even if I reverse everything there as it is a smoking ruin for another solid two months. I simply lack the air strength. I guess the argument here is that with two American bases in Manchuko this is pretty much pointless battlefield. However, I have to go on the assumption that I need to absolutely, positively prevent supply convoys from getting into Siberia and closer American Ports to Honshu/Hokkaido. No sooner has the Zuikaku left, than P40s and plentiful Allied bombers show up hitting my bases and sinking two hapless xAPs (15 vp or so) that failed to unload their supplies fast enough. My bad there... I had thought to send Rufes up here, and might to Bering and Medny, but Attu will need fighters and ships eventually.

Speaking of Rufe, be still my beating heart. Hope springs again the for Empire of the Rising Sun. The first two are flying, and one is in the pool. Look out! [image]local://upfiles/44178/D6771B0B7CE84CF6A205812924DB4746.jpg[/image] I have this group, which cannot be resized, and two other groups that can go to 24. I plan to use every possible group that can fly float fighters..even those that later upgrade into the 5 series of Zeroes. I want my float fighters!

I've found that a very nice way of getting supply into a base is with Ansyu-C PB set on fast transport. Each one can carry 1000 supply and will unload in a day. Sometimes I'll set a string on 1 ship TFs to land at a base one day apart. I've been pretty successful doing that.

They are 10 vp each, and quite the fuel hog eating I think 5 fuel a day. This was my bad, the xaps dropped off troops the day before and I neglected to order them out. I think they only had a couple hundred supply but they stuck around, unloading supplies because their orders got messed up by High Command (which was travelling, working off a laptop, tired, and in a lousy hotel room to boot! -- no way to run a war!).

There is a bug where sometimes, during orders, the flak report goes to 0. MichaelM was not able to find the cause. I was not able to notice exactly when it happened to give him a sequence of actions. When you save, exit, restart the game and open the save the flak report will be normal.

Well you are playing a VERY capable player in Erik, and you had the worst possible start. Given that, you are doing quite well.... [&o][&o][&o]

And the combination of 'suck it up and get down to business' plus adept play (both tactically and strategically) is making this great to watch.

April 3, 1942 3 Rufes made hopefully, but will let the Oscar carry some weight over the skies of Manchuko.[;)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/7E45256AAFAD4A8DA83D69C770DEBBA9.jpg[/image]

Palembang bombed, Soviets quiet. Almost up to 300 AV at Palembang, while the Allies are holding steady at 1000. [image]local://upfiles/44178/9B84EABDA0B740238D7BA7BF34FEB450.jpg[/image]

The only thing missing from this game right now is Jeff invading California. [:D]

April 4th, 1942 Possible big clash as battleships, cruisers and light cruisers in 3 task forces hunt the enemies bombardment task forces....and two of the biggest task forces will end up in the mouth of Palembang, leaving the seriously exposed to enemy air strikes.[X(] [image]local://upfiles/44178/29ADCD6EF49B4EC4B47D949091F982BF.jpg[/image]

Not to be, but the air attacks come in ....and Zeroes rise to the challenge. [image]local://upfiles/44178/2EFE71E5F4A440868F5F807290E9F63E.jpg[/image]

I was hoping to catch more Allied bombers in the air over the task force...but this will have to do. B17 attack Pontianak is and are outnumbered by Zeroes for the first time... Palembang bombed, Singkep bombed.... [image]local://upfiles/44178/95C255D33A7A4CCDAA6374DF1D18C2ED.jpg[/image]

Japan's AR program in fine form. This is for the Kyushu. Husemi start next month. Each AR provides almost the equivalent system damage repair of a size 9 port eligible for all ship types. [image]local://upfiles/44178/C54BA644457F487692D0FC2493D9ADBB.jpg[/image]

So many darn things going on right now, I got the turn back to Obvert just now, and I am trying to protect this day...hope I didn't neglect anything. Runway at Palembang operational...flying in a lot of troops I hope. We shall see.

April 5, 1942 No surface combats again, around Palembang...but Palembang is bombed again. Kates fly again sinking a nice British cargo ship... [image]local://upfiles/44178/7D2116564D264B218EE371CBA033D7F2.jpg[/image]

Manchuko Sunwu falls to massive tank and motorized Army. I cut the major road heading north west from Tsitsihar, but really what is the point? Over 4000 AFVs to their east and another 20 units at Arshan.... [image]local://upfiles/44178/B6550B240E984BD993B69E07BDD54983.jpg[/image]

Turn is away, should be exciting to horrible.[;)] Allied force at Palembang is now over 1500.[X(]

Lowpe -> RE: Soviets Activated.... (11/22/2017 1:06:43 AM)
April 6th, 1942 Many waves of night bombers at Palembang, and the severe storms more than the AA fend off the bombers. [image]local://upfiles/44178/B25A8CE783C04983A052671E920DA438.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Soviets Activated.... (11/22/2017 1:09:36 AM)
Palembang puts up a bit of a defense...it is a little baffling why the Allies don't attack. There is close to 1500 assault value there, but then again the Allies are having fun bombing it back into the stone ages. Even with the great terrain, that is a huge advantage in raw AV (and tanks and artillery) to the Allies. I can think of a few reasons why he hasn't attack, and I don't like them one bit. Tomorrow the Lightnings will come. Will I still be here? [image]local://upfiles/44178/0B8F76B4D5E545B58819B06C135801F4.jpg[/image]

Time to remove this group. The few days of training really paid dividends, especially with the excellent LTC M. Baba in charge teaching. So, I was going to pull them out on April 2nd turn, and instead I am pulling them out on the April 6th turn. They improved their average Air skill from 36 to 40, and the Defense skill from 35 to 37 in only three full days of training.
