I imagine either that or you were quite lucky with the recon hex. Cheers, CB I think sometimes you get Intel on location of a unit (without specifics of unit type) if it has been given new orders during the turn. Either that or a random report from local people comes in. I get occasional Intel on Japanese units in the Himalayas that are at least four hexes from any units of mine.

The in-game air losses report showed a total to date loss of 132 Vals. What is that - four or five air groups worth?! [X(]

[X(] I have been doing pretty well in the air so far, will see what happens this turn as I start the first major bombing campaign. Coordinating sweepers and escorts and lrcap with bombers is never easy!

"Commander's choice." Yes, that's the phrase I was trying to think of. Haven't fired up this game in a while. Good way to catch those pesky units trying to do sneaky things. Cheers, CB

And the the mother of all Blenheim raids during the day! My goodness[X(] The fighters are up high, and can't relocate fast enough... How many of those ships have supplies which will burn and burn and burn, baby.[sm=sterb032.gif] [image]local://upfiles/44178/2CA4DEF98C544B86904256C438F0D0C5.jpg[/image]

Another Blenheim raid goes in, damaging and setting a light another cargo ship, then is it sweepers? [image]local://upfiles/44178/94D6ABA5D5E84F2A822452EC1B35282F.jpg[/image]

Over the jungle come Airacobras, but the enemy fighters are able to get quite a few to drop their bombs...but they pulled the CAP down low where it was shredded.[;)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/7F95ECC2542748F5BEC1CDDC85F5C890.jpg[/image]

Unless the map data has modified/fixed, you can't build a port there. [:(]

The port is 0 (0), but the base screen let me click on "Expand Port" and that put the % sign after the 0. I don't have anything at the base to actually do expansion, but it looks fixed to me.

RangerJoe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (5/27/2021 2:18:54 AM)
Yes, you can build a port there. If you build an airfield, then it can be used as a stop over from Auckland to Noumea or Australia. But if the enemy is threatening, then no airfield means that float planes and flying boats can't be targeted. [:D] Add in a few supplies dropped by a FT and a few AS from an air HQ, then the place is set. [8D]

Thats a beautiful looking bombing raid for the allies

Too bad that you can't chase a Japanese unit below Brisbane . . . [;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: RangerJoe Too bad that you can't chase a Japanese unit below Brisbane . . . [;)] Theoretically he can, but that would require an enormous work with encircling the unit the right way keeping supply line open only to the south (and then circle back north, but that's ok with Oz road network). And doing it at least 4 times from the current disposition.

I tried to do that with Japanese troops at the Russian border, but they would not cross - the unit just fought until destroyed. But that is a hard border, not an invisible "line of death".

Pliny -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (5/28/2021 9:52:57 PM)
I think this shows that in a stock game, even with a good Japanese player, an equally competent Allied played can more than hold his own in '41 and '42 and prevent AV. Even after reading the whole thing, I'm not sure what Japan's strategy was. For everything he passed over in the early phase, the forces in Australia don't seem too overwhelming.

Lowpe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (5/29/2021 12:22:21 PM)
March 23, 1942 Following the 2E bombing runs yesterday, they were now assigned to hit the leading tank units...however nothing flew. The B17Ds did not fly their night attack on Rangoon, but during the day we had a good raid of Magwe catching the Tojo's way up high, the Nates on night time duty, and delivered a very good result against the oil. The slug of IJA troopers went to Dacca... Myitkyina finally fell. [image]local://upfiles/44178/30BE75CB23FE48CDB58FC114EFFE9B36.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (5/29/2021 12:31:51 PM)
Big battle in China, where the Japanese must be feeling pretty frustrated at...some solid IJA units up against relatively normal Chinese Corp...but they are dug in and in great terrain. Look at all the off road movement by Japan![:)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/907A0CCA8D874B768729EBE7CEB370AF.jpg[/image]
