Mine Tarawa and see if that helps along with an ASW TF set to coastal only.. I never had a problem with Fast Transport TFs. If he is parking subs in a port, then it is time to visit with aircraft - even at night if you have to. Fly in at 1k feet with the load set to "Torpedo" and the Bettys/Nells will carry the full bomb load. Put some mines there as well.

That sub should be hiding, returning to base, or sunk!

They will. I've had a lot of these over the years. Cannot explain them in terms of understanding what causes it, but they do happen. They will collapse, and your troops will end up with silly exp from it. But the grind day after day .... yeah, not a lot of fun for either side actually.

[&o][&o][&o] Poona took three months and in the end the enemy will have lost 2000av, guess around 100,000 troops, some two dozen units. The pocket near Jessore is even worse, losing over 500,000 troops in total during the Calcutta operation, some 150 units. Especially the Calcutta operation is still absolutely amazing me, it results in a total Allied disaster because an Army three times as big as the one invading Normandy couldn't break through at Calcutta, urban hex, lvl. 9 forts and only a couple of IJA divisions plus support. When they reached level 6 forts it was game over for them and with super KB (1300 carrier based ac at that time IIRC) operating in the Indian Ocean the enemy had no chance to supply his troops or evacuate them. Points for ground losses at the moment are over 43,000 already and I think we will have total superiority on the ground after clearing the pockets in India. No idea how the Allied should ever take any bigger islands when I have 10,000 av in reserve to react. Until the Soviets activate we can oppose any Allied land Army anywhere on the map.

RangerJoe -> RE: AAR 1944 (1/22/2021 8:58:18 PM)
Of course, you probably could take out the Soviets after India is cleared. Just keep the Allies out of 4E range of the Home Islands.

To be honest, I was even thinking of this. A success there too would be crazy, I could muster some 20,000 av for the attack. But a defeat, a stall or a prolonged battle starting in early 45 with over a thousand available 4Es next to Japan really make me think twice about it. Taking out the Soviets would be winning the war and I'm not talking about winning on points as autovictory kicked in already but making it impossible for the Allied to advance due to the sheer number of Japanese troops available for the defense. What will keep me from attacking is the fact that literally every base that has some Soviet troops must be at level 9 forts and we all saw what level 9 forts plus good terrain can do to an Army one would think it would be unstoppable -> Calcutta...

Yes, we are playing until the bitter end (for Japan), achieved autovictory with something like 6.5:1 at the beginning of 43, mainly due to the Allied loss of China, India and a carrier engagement in 42.

Not only in Central India, but DOMINATING in India in '44. [&o][&o][&o] Don't forget that's mostly due to the insane losses of Allied ground troops the years before. At some point Japanese domination on the ground just became like an avalanche. Comparable to the usual Allied buildup against Japan but in this case, the Allied built up, had to do something and we could use the hammer again and again. Fail just once (like we could during the Allied operation against Calcutta) and the situation would look completely different as I would have had 6,000 av literally cut off in India.

China is in 9 out of 10 times a cakewalk, no matter what the Allied player was trying but never achieved anything like this in India before while I was able to take India several times already... as mentioned earlier this will give us such an advantage in troop strenght I have no clue how the Allied could do any protracted ground offensives, other than island hopping and even then, if they get stalled on an island and we have the chance to reinforce we would have the tools to destroy the Allied invasion...

here's the victory points' screen, showing the development of the last seven weeks with Allied ground losses going up from around 38,000 to 44,000 which means the destruction of the Poona pocket nets probably 4,000 points (estimate 2,000 points due to starvation at Jessore)... we lost something like 250 points at Poona as we mostly suffered disablements (tank rgts were hit hard though with three outright destroyed in a single attack) so that makes it a 8:1 in victory points at Poona... the victory at Poona didn't come cheap though as we suffered thousands and thousands of disabled squads so several convoys full of supplies were spent just to get the disabled squads back into action... victory points aside as they don't count at all anymore anyways , the loss of all these troops most likely means the Western flank is more or less safe for the rest of the war as the Allied just won't have the troops to take India/Burma or threaten the SRA out of Ceylon... another big operation in the West would most likely end in another fiasco because a) that front is fully built up and b) we could react with our reserves as we did around Calcutta already... 1.5 years after achieving autovictory we have pushed the point ratio up to 6.4:1 again...[:D] one goal is to push the victory points above 100,000 now...
