It just strikes me to keep shock attacking on and on. Anybody willing to tell him that there's also the option to deliberate attack? Just doesn't make sense and if the AI would do that on and on and on we would call it broken. [&:]

In defense of Japan, he could simply be shocking with the armor element present and deliberate attacking with the rest, or a portion of the rest.

Feb 24, 1942 Japan rested their entire air force from offensive missions today. [image]local://upfiles/44178/F892465D31854C08A86C4368A726757E.jpg[/image]

Invasion Ceylon...I guess poor Dickman has to go to Cape Town to get removed, 20 pp a day. Ouch.[;)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/E5F8695F411E41939C30DF0839D13AA8.jpg[/image]

It would be uncharacteristic of Japanese commander to let his troops relax after yet another unsuccessful assault [:D] Instead it is "go and die like a samurai" The Dutch last stand in Bandoeng is already legendary in my book

They are not in the best of shape, that is for sure...the HQs and still functioning artillery is probably the heroes of the fight along with terrain and possessing the base. [image]local://upfiles/44178/34459E16FDE7480785BC943589798005.jpg[/image]

With no offensive missions, the plane losses for Japan are quite heavy.[X(][8\|] [image]local://upfiles/44178/5243CED43259405DAE957C54494A9CAA.jpg[/image]

Agreed, his op losses are pretty heavy. His A6M2 ops losses are 60% of his A2A losses ... wow.

He believes he should be carrying his shields into battle every day or be carried out on them.

JohnDillworth -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (3/25/2021 5:18:17 PM)
I think the IRL Battle of the Pockets was like this. General Homa was attacking with 2nd rate troops against entrenched positions that kept getting shot up and pulling back. Homa would try some flanking thing or another and when that didn't work he would go back to direct assault. Mostly garrison and service troops but he kept them attacking because.....well....it was just a Japanese thing. He broke through eventually just based on lack of Allied supplies but he got no points for style. Terrible Generalship

Feb 25, 1942 Another quiet day in the air, only 1 or 2 bombing runs in China... Here they come. I have stripped Ceylon long ago, only 5k fuel and about 10K supplies left. Two brigades are the defense, one at Trincomalee and the other at Colombo. But the British Navy plus a handful of USN destroyers are here to defend, Plus our Air Forces. 3 US base forces, plus one British construction engineer will head to make one of the land locked British bases on India into a real airport. Japan has no dl for Ceylon bases...except one point on Colombo. [image]local://upfiles/44178/03EBD6A1B82A4B0C8918830A9CF9D8EA.jpg[/image]

Another decent day in the air...despite Japan being very quiet. [image]local://upfiles/44178/510AAECED06C4ADFABA535596AF5C7B1.jpg[/image]

IJA tank spearhead versus 3 Chinese US TOE Corps plus Stuarts, Mtn Guns, 105mm Howitzers...Forts 2 for the infantry. Should be able to add 2-3 more Mtn Gun units before the IJA arrives. the shattered 84th Corp is heading to infiltrate Japanese lines to the southeast.

Japan is ramping up their offensive air missions, at Brisbane a fresh Oscar Sentai sweeps, but we stood down our fighters. Japan is forced to use Zeroes in a night role to stop the Hudsons from hitting their runways at Rockhampton. Meanwhile, in Ceylon a curious development as the IJN force steams west of Ceylon. Japan's base DL is very poor...with only Colombo showing any and that a 1/2. [image]local://upfiles/44178/12951517C63D4618A2780B4DCFF02C80.jpg[/image]

Wonder if he's going for Addu and Diego Garcia? Good speed bumps and would certainly help him isolate Ceylon, and possibly invade the West coast of India later on?

They could be going to those two islands. Or it could be smoke, mirrors, and with a little miss's direction. You know, when you have women driving . . . [;)]

Lowpe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (3/29/2021 10:48:55 PM)
I think he is looking to eliminate or reduce the British Navy as a threat before risking a landing....or just assembling the invasion forces to land all at the same time. He has no idea of the amount of Allied air force present...over 250 combined British/American plus another 50 British CV planes.

Positioning around Ceylon, IJN amphibious task forces re-appear with their fighter heavy CV force and SAGs. Communication from Japan: *All these warships keep popping up around Ceylon. I thought you would have run away by now :-)* Still no DL on Ceylon bases. Moonlight 89%... [image]local://upfiles/44178/99C441B417E845E59680ACBCF6516441.jpg[/image]

Can you show how you have organized your hubs? I'm interested in logistics but in the allied side looks like a bit 'excesive' ?

Not sure what you mean by excessive? Traskott, I am using every possible base as a Hub, even Socatra and Mombassa and Tasmania and Christchurch. Port Stanley and United Kingdom. Supplies from UK to Cape Town. Fuel from Canada, Abadan/Socotra/Mombassa, and India to Cape Town Cristobal to Port Stanley Balboa to Tahiti area Balboa to Line Islands Tahiti area to NZ NZ, Cape Town to Tasmania Cape Town to Adelaide West Coast to Pearl Rupert to Alaska

Multiple small task forces of British warships and American Destroyers are sortieing towards IJN task forces looking to invade Ceylon...Moonlight is strong, weather iffy.[X(] Those British Battleships should arrive last... Six American fighter squadrons are set to contest the beaches and surround waters... A flotilla of junks are evacuating the last of the Colombo AA... Subs are vectoring in on Koggala� It could be an exciting turn!

traskott -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (4/4/2021 2:12:25 PM)
Thanks!! happy easter to you. Lots of bases to move supplies and fuel. Almost all xAK and TKs will be most of time off map....

Feb 28, 1942 The British push forward in multiple small taskforces...but it will be a long night as there are thunderstorms and that acts as a force multiplier for the IJN.[:(] [image]local://upfiles/44178/5226FB7D43CE47498D0CCE0618080C29.jpg[/image]

Right of the bat, Ashigara hits with a 20cm shell...she did that in the prior fight too. This IJN taskforce should be very low on torpedoes though... [image]local://upfiles/44178/11C41E40E19C461B889C19C8B4E595F6.jpg[/image]
