Bye Bye Rahaeng:
The problem I see with ground combat in Witp AE is the same one almost every game has the stack is king. There are no real tactics to ground combat, load up a stack and just bash through. Unless I start Making mass stacks in only one or two towns there is no way to stop it.

The main problem with this tactic is that japan still loses as the allied play just goes around it and never even bothers to put in an attack there. Unlike the start of the game when the allied force know exactly where to mass to cause the biggest problems for japan.

We have over stacking rules for airfields but no rules for troops.

Landing at Lae:
AdmSpruance is going a very slow rout to capture Rebaul. Looks like he is doing the complete surround and cut off, strave them out, then clear them up. I would have thought by now he would have noticed. Only 1 flight in this whole area since june and that was from an airfield already captured added to his daily bombing.

Pingsiang:
What a long way around to capture this place. march of in the other direction then hooked back to make it look like I was heading for Korong. Made sure I was spotted and then charged back up to Pingsiang and with one attack took what held me up for months at the start of the year. Now it looks like he is bringing in reo's as fast as he can to stop me there.

I really want him to move that stack just above Pingsiang 1 hex to the left into the open then I might rush out and shock attack him just for fun!!! Yes this game is still fun. I am going to see if an inner defence can stop the yanks in there tracks. I think soon as my next lot of fighters come on line I will be cutting my bomber build in half.

Burma:
AdmSpruance is over the river above Bangkok he can now drive toward Saigon and cut off Bangkok. I think this will be the option he takes with the way his troops are positioned he would be silly not too. Once cut off in Bangkok I would need to bring in ships to get out and his air force would have a field day.

China:
Both sides are still massing troops for what looks like an all out knock em down drag em out fight. Look a bit like MAD but we will see.

Still attacking at Tsiaotso. I can see a few units moving this way but not many.

This time it had a happy ending.

China:
Ground combat at 85,49 cost him 14000+ in two days just outside Hankow. I have come to a stalemate at Tsiaotso agin so it may be time to retreat for troops and supply.

Burma:
Come fly the unfriendly skys. Bankok may be off his list of bombing sights for a few turns, until he can bring up some fighter escort. My zeros gave him a good kick over the last two days.

I am a bit sick of his subs just strolling into my ports and sinking ships, while my ASW forces just watch. DMS w-6 1 tropedo in port and it still can not manage to stop it's self from sinking. Mines don't seem to work as once they have been spotted I don't think I have seen a sub hit one.

Tsiaotso:
That was a suprise I thought AdmSprauce would have slipped some more troops in while I was resting my troops. Looks like he did not think it would fall or did not care. May have something to do with our massive stacks he has almost 30 units in his stack mine is smaller at about 15 units but I dont have any split units there. AdmSpraunce splits a lot of his troops to hide the real amount of troops in a hex works well, you need to do an attack to even get an idea of what is there.

1st of the month again mass amounts of pilots accelerated 631 in total. That is almost more than I have in an entire 3 month group.

Subs:
Lots of subs being spotted. I am reinforcing the area above japan with search planes and ASW patrols. My convoys in this area seem to be working well problem is keeping enough fuel in these ports to reful the transports is a pain.

Ground combat at Ayuthia:
His ground troops just popped over the river into Ayuthia and hurt my troops more than his own. In an Email with AdmSpraunce, He though he was not going to be able to take Bankok. Well with him in Ayuthia, Bangkok will need to be evacuated as it can be bypassed and I cant afford to lose all the ships I would lose trying to get the troops out by sea. So far the retreat from Burma has cost about 2 Japanese Div and in the next few days 3 Thai divs, two are already a regiment strenght.

Japanese ground losses:
405 casualties reported
Squads: 1 destroyed, 22 disabled
Non Combat: 5 destroyed, 24 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled
Vehicles lost 4 (0 destroyed, 4 disabled)

Allied ground losses:
166 casualties reported
Squads: 1 destroyed, 19 disabled
Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 17 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled
Vehicles lost 8 (0 destroyed, 8 disabled)

AdmSpraunce's next big choice is
1) To attack towards Hanoi and activate the viet reo units
2) To attack towards saigon and activate the viet reo units
3) head down to singapore and cut off java and sumartra

I am trying to rebuild my Divs that are spread all over the country side at the moment. This looks like it may take a few months as I now have a major lack of transport and fuel to run it anyway.

Lots of radio traffic from Darwin so I am expecting a large move of supply and reo's to ambon as well as a major attack on Kendari. Looks like we may have our final Carrier battle here soon as my 3 remaining carriers are parked at Babe

Ground combat at Ayuthia:
Units here had no chance of stopping this defeat all ground troops here had already had the stuffing kicked out of them. I will be lucky if they do not end up totally destroyed. Every time I put them into strat to wisk them away from the front line they get clobbered and end up stuck in the hex. As long as he keeps chasing them there is no way I can repair these units.

Bangkok:
The long retreat has begun all japanese units who can be built back into a div are moving by rail out of Bangkok. All Thai unts are going to stand fast and die like the usless units they are.

Moving up a blocking force to prevent him heading towards Singapore. This I don't think is neccasry as his units here look to to be a blocking force to stop my units reinforcing Bangkok.

If he comes over the border from china there is only 1 unit to try and stop him as every other unit is depleted or a BF.

Indo china is dead even with extra forces there is no way of stopping him when his armour can run around without infantry support to slow it down and kill anything that gets in its way.

3 Ships taken out in this 2 day turn. I have been very lucky in the last few weeks, but the better dud rate kicks in soon and all I can see is a sea of green subs surrounding japan Bad times ahead!!!!

I was thinking of putting two divs into Moulmein but recon shows 500+ planes there. I also think that if I do it I can kiss two more Divs Good bye!

AdmSpraunce has moved his airforce up close to Bangkok and takes control of the sky in 1 day, Absolutly no chance to take it back. Even if i could get the 60+ Sallies to attack his new airfield they wont get past the CAP let alone close it down.

Continued Bombard at Tavoy will continue this till I run out of Supply or he tries to take the base. My aim is to get ride of all the supply here and then retreat back to the next base.

bye bye army if they manage to get out of thailand I will be Amazed!!!!! The problem I have that with air attack there is no way to retreat faster than he can advance. Every Air attack knocks me into combat mode when a retreating army would just try and move fast to get out of there range. Not stop and wait for his follow up troops to kick thier ass again. I don't see how you can do a retreating defence.
