Hi, There are many Japanese LCU that begin scenario 15 understrength. THe difficulty in using the manpower and arms is getting these units to a base with 20K+ supply and in range of their HQ.

Add to this replacing battle loss and In mid Feb I am watching my manpower pool shrink every turn.

Mogami:

LCUs don't need 20K supply and to be in the range of their HQ to draw replacements. They will draw replacements as long as they are at a base that has more than 2X its required supplies.

Don't have to be at a base either: "15.3....Units are within supply range of the base if the supply range is 50 or greater from a base where you trace a path...." and "Each base that the unit is within supply range of may send replacements, so there is an advantage of being near lots of well stocked bases."

Given that Mogami's pools are shrinking and his LCU's are filling out, I would tend to accept Mogami as the Gospel and the Manual as apocryphal.

Your right I do the 20k for my airgroups. My HQ are at the base with the airgroups and to upgrade you need 20k. Sometimes when you get a really large number of units in a single hex 20k is not 2x required.

My manpower pool has fallen from 49178 to 48190 However my armaments in pool are rising. (7208)

I've issued around 1200 tanks of all types and have 920 in the pool. Issued some 600 of the 70 and 75mm Howitzers/Inf Gun/Mtn Gun but only 4 105mm and 155mm

Hi, Manpower down to 32,976 in pool on 3/22/42 it looks like in another month I might actually run down to where I am only using what I get per turn (809)

I have 2,113,809 supply. By this point the Japanese player will have discovered the value of the base outside Japanese Home Islands that contain heavy Industry. Most of my operations are being supported with supply created inside the SRA. Formosa is making a large portion of my combat supply. (Formosa is 400 miles closer to the resource/oil centers then any Home Island industry.)

4/2/42 manpower pool 23548 (seems to be going down at around 1k per day)
I think the massive battle that has been raging at Yenen for weeks is part of the cause.
I captured the base but then the Chinese returned in force and for weeks the battle has been going on. Every 3 or 4 days the Chinese assault. Every 7-10 days I attack back.
I need to drive the Chinese out of the hex in order to get the industry there to operate.
However I hope to add major resource and oil income by the end of the month. Japanese forces have landed in strength on Java. With the fall of Singapore I can expand a major Heavy Industry center a mere 360 miles from Palembang. (as well as all the resource in Malaya.

In two days my Manpower total has dropped over 50,000. So I guess Mogami's suggestions and me allowing all base forces to draw replacements to fill themselves out is working.. That and I must have 20 units or more sitting in Tokyo filling out !!
