Nomad -> Musings revisited (9/25/2021 1:02:45 AM)
Looking at the in game database, I see that I was partly right about his R&D aircraft options. I see that the A7M2 Sam has advanced a month but I was wrong about the Ki-84a, he opted to buy a Ki-84r R&D factory. The Ki-84r has also advanced a month. This will make 1943 a very tough year for the Allies. I wonder what other surprises he has in store for me? [:'(]

Nomad -> Feb 14, 1942 (9/25/2021 3:59:58 PM)
Feb 14, 1942 No attacks on Singapore. I was able to upgrade the Inf squads in the 11th Indian Inf Div to 1942 units. Also Singapore increased its forts to 3. Bombardments continue at Changsha

Nomad -> RE: Feb 17, 1942 (9/26/2021 3:05:50 PM)
It was bound to happen sometime. I had directed her to an amphibious landing site, but she was intercepted on the way in. To be honest, the lose of CL Sumatra is not that big of a thing. She has no upgrades, fair main gunnery, weak AA, no ASW, and very little endurance. She is suited for raids in the DEI, but not much else.

Nomad -> RE: Feb 18, 1942 (9/26/2021 3:11:50 PM)
Feb 18, 1942 Bombardments at Changsha and Singapore. Both will fall sometime in the future, how long that will be is the question.

Changsha did build level 6 forts today. And Singapore went back up to level 3 forts.

RangerJoe -> RE: Feb 23, 1942 (9/27/2021 6:51:09 PM)
For China, I would stockpile everything except support squads. Even then, most units have enough but they are disabled. I would only start filling out units when they get over 50 experience - unless they are in India.

Nomad -> RE: Feb 23, 1942 (9/27/2021 8:26:49 PM)
The problem is that it takes supply to repair the disabled devices and I don't have enough in many places, and not where I am taking large losses. I have most units set to not take reinforcements anyway.

RangerJoe -> RE: Feb 23, 1942 (9/27/2021 10:00:27 PM)
The disablments will repair whether or not you want to to repair as long as the supplies are there. But it is still more efficient to get those devices repaired before giving them anything new unless it is the artillery units.

Feb 24, 1942 Spam much Joe? [:D] Makassar fell today, that is all the bases on Celebes. No attacks at Singapore or Changsha.

RangerJoe -> RE: Feb 24, 1942 (9/27/2021 11:41:34 PM)
Sorry, a lot of ASP 500 errors which is why so many posts stating the same thing!
