42/7/25: as john said, "boring". Japs drive the game tempo. I am sure he is tooling up for another offensive somewhere. Jpeg comment on regrowth is wrong. Jap IJA may be full strength in 30 days.

As said above...


BORING!!

We are at an unfortunate Operational pause for the moment. The Great EMU Hunt continues but develops slowly...

I really want to go up into NE Australia and kick some ground combat Jap ass. But another part of my mind keeps saying "it is a trap, it is a trap" over and over.

If I can teach the Chinese how to walk on water then I can solve my problem.

Easy Peasy. Just let the water freeze solid, it may be slippery but it can be walked on.

We spotted that US TF last turn and WANTED to attack, however, Admiral WEATHER had other ideas...

DRAT!

Hmmm - the animation shows a 'float fighter destroyed" but none is listed in the combat report you posted. Is that typical FOW?

Australia
As one can see from some of the above screenshots, The AF issues in Australia are being dealt with. Cairns and Tennant Creek are now fully operational and Portland Roads is building fast. Time to play with Allied Airpower! Let us GO!

Changsha
Changsha is about to go DOWN! My noble opponent has pulled the engineers and several Corps out by retreating into the hex NW of Changsha where my two ID wait. Both groups of retreating Chinese have been crushed and booted right into the town NW of that hex. We are done with enemy troops retreating and want the surrender. We'll see how long that takes.

Newest Addition
Just got my first major addition to the Kaigun's OOB. There is no Taiho, Shinano, or any Unryu's here. Japan builds a second pair of Shokaku-Class CVs and then two pairs of a slightly improved Shokaku-Class the Shokaku-Kai. Here is the newest addition to the fleet: IJN Kaigun (the 3rd Shokaku). This big BAD BOY is ready to rumble.

Where would you like to her to appear first BigRed??!! [:D]

Evidently I need to make the turns MORE exciting because Paul told me he has been falling asleep during the Combat Replays. That is TOO bad. Guess I'll have to liven them up some...

August 7, 1942

Is this the DAM BREAKING?

The Japanese Army has been steadily reducing Changsha, however, Henyang has remained Chinese. Two full strength IJA ID arrive and launch an assault after nearly 150 bombers cause nearly 600 Chinese casualties. To Japan's surprise the city surrenders on the first attack. The results are 5-1 with Japan taking 382 Cas to China's 28,066 (2212 Squads), 142 Guns, and 5 Vehicles.

WOW! OK. Time widen the breach.

BANZAI!

Hengyang falls on the 7th and the 8th brings a massive assault upon the Changsha defenses. For the first time Japan scores a 1-1 and drops the Forts to ZERO: Japan 3167 Cas 3 Vehicles to China's 2,962 (67 Squads) and 36 Guns. Game is just about up here.



Japanese reinforcements are flooding into Australia presently...

There are real benefits to having a good relationship with your opponent. In today's case, Paul called me yesterday explaining his schedule and that we might be able to bust out 1-2 additional turns. With that in mind I jumped on the morning turn and sent it out fast. Now I'll turn to Lew's turn and get him his.

Both sides are starting to probe each other in Australia. It is getting interesting and am curious how quick this will escalate on both sides.

The attack on Changsha (shown above) was me getting greedy and THINKING I could snatch the the city with a second immediate Deliberate Attack. Didn't work. Will wait a few days and see if that does it.

Down south at Clonclurry, One AUS AR regiment made a sacrifice shock attack to force the IJA 5th (bicycle) Div to reset movement to 0.


At Normanton the Japs a got a fort reduction with a 1-9 assault???
The IJA 2nd div is preceding thru the swamp adjacent to Normanton.

bigred -> RE: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd (2/28/2021 1:27:18 AM)

The graphics for the Cluncurry move from 3 turns ago. Still not sure I can pin the 5th div.
The Japs are operating in ARmor country. The AUS have deployed 2/3rds a division of armor into the 5th IJA id hex.
