Hi all, Once more a few days pass........ ---------------- Indo China - Allied troops have reached Hanoi. Fairly happy with this since it's only 40% of my regional force levels: Ground combat at Hanoi Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 205263 troops, 1900 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 5593 Defending force 282320 troops, 2488 guns, 1010 vehicles, Assault Value = 5276 Japanese ground losses: 186 casualties reported I have 2500 AV at Saigon, 3500 AV at Singapore and 1400 AV at Jesselton....hmm what to do with it........thinking Formosa. What do you think? Tainan only as 3 units ands Takao 8 units....... Taan has been a massive battlefield for the past fewdays.The Japanese have reacted strongly in stemming the Allies but have suffered losses of 6:1-10:1 every day. Yesterday they broke with the Allies steaming into Taan and the nearby airfields. During the night of 9th February the Japanese moved surface forces into the Taan region. My SC TF performed.....disappointingly: Night Time Surface Combat, near Taan at 37,41 Japanese Ships CA Ashigara CL Sendai DD Shimozuki DD Okinami DD Arashi DD Hatsuharu, Shell hits 3, on fire DD Shikinami, Shell hits 1 Allied Ships BB Howe, Shell hits 2 BB King George V, Shell hits 1 CA London, Shell hits 1 CA Suffolk CL Newfoundland CL Nigeria, Shell hits 1 DD Racehorse DD Saumarez DD Teazer DD Terpsichore DD Tumult, Shell hits 2, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage DD Tuscan DD Grenville, Shell hits 1 DD Ulster, Shell hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Taan at 37,41 Japanese Ships CA Nachi CL Nagara CL Natori, Shell hits 4, on fire DD Hanazuki, Shell hits 19, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk DD Haruzuki DD Kazegumo, Shell hits 1 DD Kawakaze, Shell hits 5, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk Allied Ships BB Howe, Shell hits 6, Torpedo hits 1, on fire BB King George V, Shell hits 1 CA London CA Suffolk, Shell hits 4, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CL Newfoundland, Shell hits 1, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CL Nigeria, Shell hits 3 DD Racehorse, Shell hits 1, on fire DD Saumarez, Shell hits 1 DD Teazer, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Terpsichore DD Tumult, on fire, heavy damage DD Tuscan DD Grenville DD Ulster -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Taan at 37,41 Japanese Ships CA Nachi, Shell hits 1 CL Nagara CL Natori, Shell hits 1, on fire DD Haruzuki, Shell hits 1 DD Kazegumo Allied Ships BB Howe, Shell hits 1, on fire BB King George V CA London CA Suffolk, Shell hits 1, on fire CL Newfoundland, on fire CL Nigeria, Shell hits 1 DD Racehorse, on fire DD Saumarez DD Teazer, on fire DD Terpsichore DD Tumult, on fire, heavy damage DD Tuscan DD Grenville DD Ulster The good nrws is that none of my ships sunk. DD Tumult may sink but everything else is fine (BB Howe is 32/25/6 - poor performance but she'll be ok until wars end......). In return DD Hanazuki, DD Kawakaze were sunk by surface forces and DD Hatsuharu was finished off SE of Hainan by CV TBM's east of Camranh Bay. Allied land forces at Taan are moving east towards Kiungahan. SS Croaker had fun on 9th sinking DD Kashi with 2 torpedoes 120 miles east of Kiungahan. ------------------- CentPac - Japan has been hit hard over the past 3 days. Okayama was hit over 2 days by 950 x B29's...P51D's shot down 40 enemy planes for 3 frendlies (+1000 strategic points). Toyohara was then the target and the industry was smashed with no interference by 366 x B29 (+800 strategic points). The screenshot shows what I believe to be the main IJN area of Port Arthur, Seoul and Shanghai....I may venture near here with my CV's for a bit of fun before wars end...we'll see.
