May 17, 1942 With the armistice holding in India with another week to go (and with Pago Pago seized), the game is witnessing a bit of a lull in the action. On my side however, plenty of forces are on the move, with armies marching in China, amphibious invasions getting ready to sail or underway, and planning and preparation for Siberian Winter developing further. On the home front, Tokyo has finally amassed more than a million in supply. Not sure what that means exactly as to the health of my economy, but it's the first time I see it pass that mark for me. On the Allied side, it seems there is a full scale reorganization of the logistics and supply system. Evoken has informed me that the effort is keeping him very busy.

May 18, 1942 China The last Chinese remnants in the Chengtu pocket surrender to Japanese forces. The Chungking plain is finally completely free of Chinese forces.

May 19, 1942 North Pacific I sent a cruiser force to bombard Umnak Island but I foolishly forgot to switch the task force from surface combat to bombardment. Evoken sent his torpedo armed Catalinas to harass the cruisers but with no success, losing a float plane to flak in the process. Central Pacific The KB is maneuvering north of the Hawaiian island chain but in a stroke of bad luck it was picked up by naval search at a distance of 17 hexes. India The Allied presence in Bombay continues to skyrocket. My air recon picked up 129 lCUs in the city, including approximately 177,000 troops, 1,500 guns, and 1,500 AFVs. I can't imagine Evoken is leaving many forces outside of Bombay in all of India. In fact with him packing everything into Bombay I am pretty sure I can take the rest of the sub-continent except for that city. The question then is whether it is worth triggering the Indian emergency reinforcements to do so.

Some Allied players, if they feel their opponent is attempting to completely capture India, choose Bombay as their last ditch stand. This is a sub optimal choice. The better choice is Karachi. The only advantage Bombay has over Karachi is that it is Heavy Urban terrain whereas Karachi is Light Urban terrain. The more important advantages lie with Karachi. 1. Karachi is close to the Abadan wormhole. This means that it can be easily resupplied from off map bases. The only way to blockade Karachi requires the KB to permanently be on station just 1 hex away. Well prepared beforehand, Karachi should should survive investment for months. That leaves all other Japanese possessions vulnerable to Allied recapture, even in 1942. Bombay can be blockaded merely by Japanese LBA from captured airfields and IJN subs. 2. Karachi is as the extreme end of Japanese logistics whereas Bombay is near to several important supply depots which would have been captured by Japan on the drive to Bombay. The real sting in the Indian Emergency Reinforcement package is provided by the early arrival of substantial numbers of Spitfires. Unless opposed by the best Japanese pilots and airframes, the Spitfires will, not may, quickly gain air superiority over the battlefield. That makes suppression of Allied fortification building very, very difficult. It also tends to ensure Allied supply dumps are not reduced by Japanese air attack. If you go for knocking out India, you will have to accomplish it before commencing Operation Siberian Winter. The Soviet Mig's impact is similar to that of the Spitfire. You won't have sufficient quality pilots and airframes to be fighting both the MiGs and Spitfires simultaneously. Alfred

If Evoken loses Karachi I don't think he will be able to reinforce India and over time even his forces in Bombay will be gradually worn down, especially given my naval superiority. As you note, the fact that Karachi is at the far end of the map is also a significant hindrance for Japan and is a point that some Allied players may overlook. I am still debating whether to push towards Karachi and trigger the emergency reinforcements however. While the prospect of capturing further industry, destroying a number of Allied units, and removing the threat of invasion from India is inviting, such a conquest will require considerable resources (including my strategic reserve) and time that clash with Operation Siberian Winter. The prospect of facing Spitfires early for the reasons you note is also a big hindrance. I remain undecided at this time but I will have to make a decision shortly.

May 20, 1942 Submarines Near Hokkaido, SS Trout finds a working torpedo and sinks a small Type-1 TS Japanese tanker. This is the first tanker lost by the Empire. Further south near Darwin, SS KXVII sinks a small Japanese Akasi-class xAK. North Pacific A Japanese task force of three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and escorting destroyers shell the Allied forces on Umnak Island. Thankfully this time I remember to put the ships into a bombardment task force. China Japanese forces capture Ankang. The conquest in China continues.

RangerJoe -> RE: Empire of the Sun (12/29/2020 1:50:17 AM)
If you are going for Karachi, keep an eye on the enemy units there and you might be better off invading there instead of going overland. There may be a fortress there with a couple of 6" guns but if he does not put other CD guns there and sufficient defenders, an invasion should stand a good chance of winning. If you do that, try to get a blocking force paradropped onto a rail line to block faster reinforcements.

If he has enough supply at Bombay and he has built forts it's impossible to take due to the heavy urban defensive multiplier. In my game against Mundy as the Allied he attacked Calcutta with an Army of over 10.000 av. I had 2000 Japanese av in the city with level 9 forts. He lost several thousand av with each attack and only got the forts down to level 6 when his 500.000 men Army was totally worn down and my reinforcements arrived. Attacking heavy urban hexes is suizide when the enemy has supplies and even without supplies one takes horrendous losses attacking. If you can't get it cheap (which you can't in this case), I wouldn't attack.

Game Update - May 21-29, 1942 Another shift has occurred in this campaign and a new opponent has been acquired. Evoken has too much on his plate so he thought it was best to step away from this one. Luckily, he knew just the right person to pick up the reigns of the hard pressed Allies, Andy Mac. Andy Mac needs no introduction for the veterans here, but for those not familiar with him he is a very experienced player and a previous dev of the game. Right now we are in the thick of it so I will give a brief summary of what has happened in the last ten game days up to bring us all up to speed. China The Japanese have continued their advance and have taken Sian, Ningsia, Ankang, and Tuyun. The Chinese under Andy Mac however have forced their way through one of my cordons and have assembled together a huge army of about 5,000 AV which is currently positioned right next to Sian. I am currently attempting to bring this monstrosity under control and have shaved off about 500AV from it through inflicted losses but right now some of my units are in a vulnerable position and in its sights. India The Armistice is no more and Andy Mac has taken a dramatic shift in his positioning. The Allies have evacuated Bombay and have redeployed to northern India, with what appears to be a focus on preventing Karachi from falling (Andy Mac asked for a grace period for me not to attack Karachi while he redeploys and I accepted). I am currently advancing towards Bombay, Madras and other Indian bases and will make a decision whether to go further. Currently I am leaning against it due to Operation Siberian Winter requiring forces and my unwillingness to trigger Indian/British emergency reinforcements. Southern Indian Ocean My surface raiders here annihilated a convoy of 12 Euro K xAKs, and three large tankers. Aleutians My forces are almost entirely in position for the first stage of the landings. Some hiccups with transport loading and skirting submarine areas has caused delays. I anticipate the actual landings to occur in eight days (game time). Ceylon I kept this one close to the chest. Operation Morning Mist is a go. Japanese forces are poised to land on Ceylon the next turn. I have allocated the two elite divisions from the strategic reserve to the operation and am currently seeking to replenish the strategic reserve with other units to compensate. Thus far I have extracted a battered but decent division for the reserve but the Clark garrison is on its last legs and after it collapses I should have another elite division and decent infantry brigade to add to it.

May 29, 1942 South Pacific East of New Zealand, a Japanese surface task force composed of two light cruisers and two destroyers intercepts an Allied convoy of eleven xAK cargo vessels of various shapes and sizes and successfully destroys nearly all of them. Ceylon Drat! An Indian Brigade railed into a previously empty Jaffna at the last second, thwarting my attempt to capture the base with an SNLF parachute unit in a coup de main. The Empire will have to do this the hard way so we go to plan B - an opposed landing. Luckily I did plan for this potential outcome and my divisions are prepped for the landing. China Sian was captured and with it the destruction of three Chinese Corps. The industry and oil is thankfully mostly intact, with only two oil wells damaged. The huge Chinese Army (across the river from Sian) is cornered but I imagine that in the next turn it will break through the flimsy cordon of 400 AV that I managed to scrape together to slow it down. The chase is on. Where will it go next? Will upload some screenshots when I have time.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (12/31/2020 11:09:08 AM)
May 30, 1942 Two Japanese Infantry Brigades and a tank regiment stand facing a horde of 52 Chinese units and are outnumbered more than 10 to 1 in both men and guns. To make matters worse, supply is an issue. The odds look grim. Today the Imperial Japanese Army can count on two things: The Japanese Army Air Force and competent officers with nerves of steel. Sure enough, more than a hundred Sally bombers fly in and drop sticks of bombs on the massing Chinese Army on the plain below, and the Japanese officers wave their Katanas and urge their men to stand firm as wave after wave of Chinese troops charge in with fixed bayonets. At the end of the day, the Japanese are exhausted but still standing their ground. Will they hold tomorrow? [image]local://upfiles/55490/43E4864C7978413F9AA5A7384D95B533.jpg[/image]

May 31, 1942 North Pacific Yamato enters the scene! The behemoth and 6 other battleships plaster Umnak Island to soften up the defenders in anticipation of the incoming landings. 7 Buffalo fighters are destroyed on the ground as well as dozens of squads/devices. A less powerful cruiser force hits Cold Bay further to the east but inflicts significantly less damage. Ceylon The Japanese run the 6inch gun gauntlet as they come in to land at Trincomalee. Significant losses are sustained in the landing with an AP and an AK outright lost with another one surely to go next turn. Half a dozen Allied submarines from Colombo are also converging on the landing forces despite the best ASW efforts from the MKB's air wings. Nevertheless, the 2nd Division is now firmly ashore and will attempt to take the base tomorrow. Northern Australia Having eliminated the previous house rule on strategic bombing, I send 44 Nell bombers to hit the resources at Corunna Downs but no hits are registered despite fairly good conditions. I presume it's harder to hit resources than industry? Philippines A Japanese attack on the garrison at Clark knocks forts down to 0. Not long here now, hopefully. China The Chinese army attacks again near Sian and this time the small Japanese force opposing them is too exhausted to repel them and is thrown back with very heavy losses. That is too bad, as a Japanese division was only a mile away from reaching them. I have assembled a large Japanese army of my own at Sian with about 3,500 AV and will be shock attacking across the river into the disorganized Chinese force to hopefully send them reeling back and get my revenge.

June 1, 1942 Submarines One of Andy�s Gato class submarines pokes its nose into Singapore but I had previously mined the port and it got egg on its face. The combat report lists the submarine as heavily damaged so I am hoping it sinks on its way back home. India Madras and Cawnpore fall to the Empire. Ceylon Frustration and flashbacks to bloody Pago Pago abound! The 2nd Division attacks but gets a truly terrible roll, thereby missing the seizure of Trincomalee by a measly few points. This is a notable setback here since I needed to secure this base to allow follow-on forces to land and Andy is rushing reinforcements to the beachhead and the division is now too tired to attack before they get there. I don�t think this alters the outcome of Morning Mist as I can prevent any Allied reinforcements from arriving on the Island but it will require time to prep the follow-on units for the landing. Maybe I shouldn�t be, but I was surprised to see that Evoken/Andy had not evacuated any units from Ceylon despite the long armistice. Not necessarily a bad thing, as it means more units are there to be trapped and destroyed. This is just going to take longer than I thought. Can someone please let me know what level of prep is in general required to avoid massive disruption? I have no previous experience with this so are we talking a need for a minimum of 90-100%? Does a 70% prep completely cripple a division or does it just need some rest after landing? I am sure die rolls are involved in this but just a ballpark estimate that I can work with would be highly appreciated.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/1/2021 8:13:18 PM)
State of the Empire The mauling of the two infantry brigades in China ramped up my Army losses quite a bit. I should get Andy back for that soon though. The Allied sortie rates have dramatically declined over the last few game days as the Allies reorganize their squadrons. [image]local://upfiles/55490/C794BF93C71F4FE8A344820C0ECB3884.jpg[/image]

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/3/2021 5:15:26 AM)
June 2, 1942 Eastern Pacific While on a mission to strike American shipping traffic near the West Coast, the Kido Butai was foiled by a picket line of xAKLs that Andy appears to have set up for early warning. Too bad. Ceylon B-17 and Hudson bombers harass the 2nd Division that is still stuck on its beachhead at Trincomalee. With both plan A (the paratrooper drop) and plan B (a forced landing by a prepared division) having been foiled, I am hard pressed to find a way to get more troops ashore in a more expedited manner. Could Operation Morning Mist be in danger of being the first real Japanese failure?

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/3/2021 5:34:42 AM)
June 3, 1942 Philippines Half a dozen or so American subs are suddenly picked up by our ASW air around Bataan. Looks like Andy is trying to bring in some supplies here. Luckily, I have a crack ASW IJAAF unit equipped with Ann light bombers on duty there. Hopefully a sub or two will be knocked out. Northern Australia Japanese forces take Nookanbah.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/3/2021 5:36:47 AM)
June 4, 1942 North Pacific Operation Jagged Peaks officially begins with the landing of the Japanese 17th Division and the 78th and 90th Infantry Regiments on Umnak Island. The Japanese troops find two American infantry regiments, a combat engineer battalion, and three base force/engineer units there. Ceylon I dispatch a bombardment task force composed of the battleships Haruna and Kongo, three heavy cruisers, and destroyer escorts to bombard Colombo and put an end to the bomber sorties staging out of there. On its way in, the Japanese task force encounters two British destroyers and sinks DD Fortune. It then proceeds to do good damage to the Colombo airfield, damaging many bombers and destroying two Hudsons and B-17E on the ground. Unfortunately CS Chiyoda hits a mine, but the damage is relatively minor.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/3/2021 5:51:39 AM)
June 5, 1942 Submarines Dutch sub SS KXII slips past the ASW air and destroyer escorts and puts a torpedo into CV Junyo. I am grateful the damage is fairly minor with less than 10 points of flooding. Ceylon Air recon, now up and running from Madras, notes that Koggala on the southern end of Ceylon is empty of Allied forces. Seizure of this base would provide me with the critical opening to land follow-on forces and take the island. I land the closest forces I have at hand (a base unit with some infantry squads) there and hope they occupy it before Andy rails troops in. Philippines At long last, Clark falls to the Empire. Japanese forces will rest and then pursue the American and Filipino forces into Bataan.

June 6, 1942 North Pacific The Yamato led battleship task force once again pulverizes the Allied troops on Umnak Island. Those 46cm guns are quite something. Ceylon Koggala is taken by the base forces, and troops transports carrying the 5th Division are moving at full speed towards the base. Other troops are getting ready to sail to the island as well. Finally a way forward in Ceylon! India Hurricane and P-40E fighter strafe and bomb Japanese troop columns advancing towards Bombay. Goa is taken by a Japanese tank regiment.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/4/2021 5:02:55 AM)
June 7, 1942 North Pacific Andy sends a large squadron of 13 PT boats to interfere with my landing operations at Umnak. One of the PT boats manages to make it through to hit an AK with a torpedo before it is sunk, but the rest escape after launching their torpedoes without hitting anything. Luckily, the Japanese troops have already offloaded. There is still some supply left to drop off but there is enough ashore so I will pull back the cargo ships for now. India Ki-45 Nicks see their first action when they tangle with Hurricane and P-40E fighters over advancing Japanese troops in India. A couple of Nicks are lost for a few Allied fighters shot down. Ceylon 5th Division troops begin landing on Ceylon.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/5/2021 12:01:49 AM)
June 8, 1942 North Pacific I surged some surface task forces to deal with the American PT boat threat around Umnak. I needed to clear these waters to allow for safe bombardments of the island that will aid my attempt to take it. In a series of running battles during the night and day, all twelve remaining PT boats are sunk for the loss of one Japanese DM. Speaking of naval bombardments, Umnak Island is hit twice this turn, once by cruisers and the other time by the Yamato task force. The Yamato group�s fire in particular is crushing, wiping out an engineer unit and destroying more than a hundred squads/devices. This is followed up by a deliberate attack that knocks the forts down from four to three. I will take advantage of the defender's dazed state to keep attacking every turn. Ceylon Andy likes to keep some nimble destroyers and submarines around Trincomalee to prevent and harass further Japanese landings there so I sent in a task force of four destroyers on a night run to do some damage. The Japanese destroyers encounter three Allied destroyers and successfully put a torpedo and some shells into DD Nestor, which I am fairly confident will go down to battle damage. China While Japanese forces are busy hounding and pursuing the Chinese monster stack, another Japanese army has reached Kunming. The army attacks this turn and knocks down forts from four to three. As in Umnak, the Japanese army will maintain pressure and keep attacking.

DesertWolf101 -> RE: Empire of the Sun (1/5/2021 12:14:10 AM)
June 9, 1942 North Pacific A Japanese cruiser task force with a daytime bombardment mission of Umnak Island is set upon by 16 SB2U-3 dive bombers from Cold Bay. Unfortunately, this was the day that I chose to rest my Zero LRCAP so there were no Japanese fighters overhead. Heavy cruises Kinugasa and Aoba both get hit by a 1,000 lb bomb but they will be ok. CA Kinugasa is hardest hit with 30 system damage. Despite the damage the cruiser task force gamely shells Umnak and the day's deliberate attack takes down forts once more, this time to two. Surprise! Andy lands a big chunk of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion on Attu Island. Unluckily for him, I have this place well defended and will attempt to overwhelm the Raiders next turn. Northern Australia For the last several turns I have been bombing the resources at Corunna Downs with very high DL, good conditions, and at low altitude with no opposition. Not a single hit has been scored though despite using dozens of bombers. Are resources impossible to hit or just very difficult to target?
