Sending bombers on ground attack when the troops aren't sitting in a clear hex is a waste in 99.9% of the time. He would be even better off bombing the base hoping to at least destroy some supplies but as the Allied, who cares about supplies? [:D]

September 8, 1942 I agree CT, even Allied B-24s have a hard time doing much on ground attack in non clear terrain. so Sallys are not going to do much. More bombing at Cox's Bazaar.

Nice Rabaul sweeps

Nomad -> RE: September 10, 1942 (11/27/2021 2:50:26 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: T Rav Nice Rabaul sweeps Yes, they did good. The biggest problem with P-38Es is that they have a service rating of 4, so they spend a lot of time repairing. The F model will help some with a SR of 3.

September 12, 1942 Another Doink Sub attack near Ominato at 120,54 Japanese Ships PB Okuyo Maru #2 xAK Magane Maru xAK Kensin Maru Allied Ships SS Grunion ================================= Well, I wondered if KB would show up, and here it is Morning Air attack on TF, near Woodlark Island at 104,133 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 19 NM, estimated altitude 21,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 6 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M3a Zero x 40 B5N2 Kate x 10 D3A1 Val x 15 Japanese aircraft losses B5N2 Kate: 1 damaged Allied Ships xAP Van Neck, Bomb hits 5, and is sunk xAKL Prusa xAKL Nevadan, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk xAP Siberg, Bomb hits 5, heavy fires, heavy damage Allied ground losses: 1035 casualties reported Squads: 41 destroyed, 48 disabled Non Combat: 12 destroyed, 15 disabled Engineers: 4 destroyed, 0 disabled Guns lost 52 (47 destroyed, 5 disabled) Vehicles lost 7 (7 destroyed, 0 disabled) Aircraft Attacking: 3 x D3A1 Val releasing from 2000' Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb 10 x B5N2 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet Naval Attack: 1 x 18in Type 91 Torpedo 4 x D3A1 Val releasing from 1000' Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb 8 x D3A1 Val releasing from 3000' Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb Heavy smoke from fires obscuring xAP Van Neck Heavy smoke from fires obscuring xAP Siberg --------------------------------------------- Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Woodlark Island at 104,133 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 18 NM, estimated altitude 17,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 6 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M3a Zero x 54 D3A1 Val x 27 No Japanese losses Allied Ships xAKL Prusa, Bomb hits 5, and is sunk Aircraft Attacking: 8 x D3A1 Val releasing from 2000' Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb 3 x D3A1 Val releasing from 3000' Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb 16 x D3A1 Val releasing from 10000' Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb Heavy smoke from fires obscuring xAKL Prusa I lost 2 small xAPs and three small xAKLs and of course some men and equipment from an Aussie Brigade. I will send everything back to Australia and wait for KB to get tired and leave. Now something to think about, I have 60 B-17Es at Port Moresby and they have pilots trained to 70 LowN and GrnB. Do I send them to try and hit KB? Or do I not? To answer my own question I guess not. We do not have any house rules but in our discord chat he did have this to say Xargun � 08/28/2021 I am used to B-17 bombing my amphibs 🙂 Just as long as they stay above the line where the chance to hit goes way off... so I guess I should not send my B-17Es in at 1000 feet. [:(] =============================== He again did some minor bombing at Cox's Bazaar. I now have a large BF there with AA weapons. That should slow his bombing a bit.

September 13, 1942 As I thought he might do, KB is now 6 Hexes North of Rabaul More bombing at Cox's Bazaar, I suffered some disabled troops, he had some Sallys damaged, none reported as ops losses.
