quote: ORIGINAL: HansBolter I added several more SSTs to my current game, planning to be able to lift an entire battalion. I discovered that troop loading on SSTs is heavily restricted. At Pearl's level 8 port I could only load SST TFs with 3 boats. Increasing to 4 boats greyed out the Load Troops function. I had to load the paras into 3 boat TFs consecutively and then combine the TFs once loaded to achieve my goal of lifting the entire battalion. Just something to be aware of. I did read your post where you got some of them to load...but you are playing a different mod.

I wondered about this so I checked the Japanese Ops Report which showed only two of my ports empty. But ... - One Port had 6 ships repairing and a tanker unloading, the TK was there from the start of the turn. - The Other Port had four ships repairing, 2 in Readiness, a TF of 4 ships loading resources and a large TF finishing unloading and still docked at turn end. All those ships were there for the whole turn. Coastwatcher reports are occasionally accurate, but that seems very random.

Don't you know that palm sap naturally ferments to about 4% alcohol but after a day it starts to turn to vinegar? However, that is probably safer than the water to drink.

It is a little sloppy down here... 11 units at Rockhampton yesterday with 19704 troops, 165 guns, and 57 vehicles from combat report, today there are: 11 units, 25320 troops, 174 guns, and 60 vehicles. So it seems nothing really unloaded...bringing in supply or evacuating. Not really sure what I am going to do here...put movement pips all over the place to sow confusion with Japan and enable a few quick retreat options for the Allies. 7-9 days for the American fleet to finish their April upgrades in this area.

Not sure if a 3/3 level detection would reveal all ship types. He may just get DDs and a TK instead of the CV. [sm=innocent0001.gif]

Holding strong hopefully at Rockhampton, moonlight 11%, 9 PT boats are going to prowl the harbor, while at Bundaberg (now totally surrounded), 4CL and 3 DD will bombard hoping to catch enemy fighters on the ground while F4Fs will sweep in the morning. Should be exciting. Doubled up the recon at Rockhampton to help the ground troops. 50+ Grant/Lees in the pools, can be sent to Australian tank forces in May.

RangerJoe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (6/17/2021 10:55:13 PM)
It looks like a lot of those armoured units at Rockhampton need some help but they could do some attacking - especially if the enemy is surrounded.

Lowpe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (6/18/2021 1:58:53 AM)
April 13, 1942 Combined actions on Bundaberg, PT boat ruins the aim of the crusier bombardment task force at Rockhampton, but we lose two. At least a few torpedoes were launched. F4F sweeps go in a bit disjointed, probably equal losses. P40s defend over Manila, probably favored Japan but not by much I think. Four tank regiments show up at Wenchow: Ground combat at Wenchow (89,58) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 17459 troops, 130 guns, 288 vehicles, Assault Value = 581 Defending force 17270 troops, 81 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 342 Japanese adjusted assault: 253 Allied adjusted defense: 421 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 0) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), leaders(+), disruption(-), experience(-) supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 389 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 40 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Vehicles lost 4 (1 destroyed, 3 disabled) Allied ground losses: 1325 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 94 disabled Non Combat: 36 destroyed, 46 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 7 disabled Guns lost 7 (1 destroyed, 6 disabled) Assaulting units: 138th Infantry Regiment 13th Division 23rd Tank Regiment 9th Tank Regiment 5th Tank Regiment 11th Tank Regiment 1st Army Defending units: 88th Chinese Corps 100th Chinese Corps 25th Group Army 10th Group Army 23rd Group Army 14th Chinese Base Force [image]local://upfiles/44178/1CE26C22CE484E718DC6F3FADF9A1DC9.jpg[/image]

Air losses for the day...reasonable since I am using up the fighters in Luzon and they don't trade that well. A little disappointed with the Wildcat op losses. [image]local://upfiles/44178/BC7493C5DA2445BF89DE4DE7ECC66EF3.jpg[/image]

China - He is probably going to shift his line of advance by moving his armor to someplace where you do not have AT weapons. Against me, he got to the plains above Chungking first. Eastern Australia - which one of you will mine the ports first?
