May 24, 1942 Ontong Java in the Solomon Islands was taken by Japan today, maybe he will be extending his domain? He still has not taken Koepang despite landing there days ago. Landings in the PI, at Bacolod, Roxas, and Tacloban. He is slowly taking all the islands.

Whoa - he lost a lot of engineers at Soerabaja! And forts were only 2! Very bad die roll for him, unless you brought in some really good troops.

Nomad -> RE: May 30, 1942 (10/28/2021 4:12:51 AM)
I don't think there are any units there that did not start there. Note the (-) on fatigue and disruption for him. Those tend to cause destroyed devices and not disabled ones.

I did notice that, but there was little effect on the combat infantry and an unexpectedly high amount on the CEs. C'est la guerre!

June 7, 1942 Nothing much happened today. A funny thing, on May 18th he took Cox's Bazar with a para unit. It seems he moved it out and my rowboat corps retook it today. That cuts the supply line from a unit he has in the hex SE of Chittagong.

Nomad -> A question (10/31/2021 1:33:26 AM)
I have an USA AA unit that has a poor commander. I was going to change him out but I am unsure what is the best skill to choose for. On one hand it is a Land Combat Unit, so Land skill would seem right. But, it main job is to shoot down aircraft so then maybe Air Skill would be right. Anyone have some insight on this, or should I not really worry about it? I realize this probably not really worth worry overmuch about. Just a question that came to mine.

Nomad -> June 11, 1942 (10/31/2021 2:55:40 AM)
June 11, 1942 Another Shock Attack at Soerabaja, it does not go well for him It does feel to me that he is making way too many shock attacks here.

Air skill only counts for maneuvering the aircraft effectively. It does nothing for an LCU. IMO you want land skill and mid level aggression to keep the unit shooting while bombs are dropping.
