Aparri, San Fernando, Laoag and Cabantuan are the undamaged/minimally damaged JJ airfields on Luzon. So far, they have not put planes at Cabantuan or Laoag. Tuguegarao actually flipped over to Allied control. Babay is pretty well wrecked as is Davao.

Iolio (Panay), Bacolod and Cebu are still in JJ control and might be used but have not been so far. Don't know about their supply or aviation support status.

75 WJD bombers are spotted at Pegu (the sneaky, inscrutable LYB's). We try to hit them at night but miss. Probably intel is too low. We continue walking around the jungle to go around Prome.

It has been my experience that a ground attack with disruption and fatigue leads to more disruption and fatigue ... a massed B24 attack will lead to disabled and destroyed squads ... evening the score here ..

Operation . Horycrappo-jima. Buildable to level 7 airfield. Crappy port, sure, within range of Jap bases Okinawa, sure, Formosa bases all at 100%, sure...but look at it this way...the beaches are so empty.





Well "Horycrappo-jima" alias Miyako-Jima has some other redeeming features of note. The stacking limit is 60,000 ! A lot of engineers can be brought up as soon as a port and support can be landed. It's partner next door Ishigaki is similar with a stacking limit of 40,000, port (1)1 air 0(4); Irimonte is the lesser of the 3 islands having a n air of 0(2) .. Funny but I believe the fortress is on Irimonte? A JFB can correct me... I do like the fact that the Allies now can isolate these islands with Army air platforms that will not need drop tanks.[Naha 4 hexes away Takao 6]

I am not sure how the map can ignore such a crucial place and emphasize the smallest base of the three ... I am with the Cap' that I suspect the IJ have also in kind ignored this little jewel sitting between Formosa and Oki ..

I would bet that One thing is for certain attacking this target ... The IJA/IJN would be committing aircraft in gobs from both Naha and Formosa ... one huge air contest in late '43 ... One I propose that the Allies can control by isolating supplies from Naha and Formosa ...





yes, Iriomte has a fortress garrison..as do Pescadores and Nago (NE Okinawa). I think Takao has a fortress too. Maybe Taihoku in NE Formosa as well?

Taking Rearrybadahfeering-jima (Ishigaki) to have mutually supporting bases is a good idea if we can find enough APA's and LST's (not sure we can).

They attacked once at Manira and were narrowly repulsed. They attacked at Lingayen and caused 12,000 Arries to disappear. No other ground attacks.

Depending on damage .. Manila starts with 100 LI in DBB and resources ... LI can produce while occupied in the Beta's...A 'w' key will tell you what hexsides you own ...But yes it is quite possible for Manila to distribute supplies ..

Then why did we have to stop using Willie Pete rounds? Does that sound fair? JJ has SERIOUS forces on Luzon.

This is not a stacking limits game. Even so the Arried Brain Trust is of the opinion that attacking Manira is not going to be much fun. We can bring up some arty from the siege of Davao. We have some Marines at Sorong (3 regiments) and another one moving to San Diego but they are prepping for Okinawa.

32nd ID is going to Vigan to stabilize things there before the Mongoh Horde arrives.

Priorities in Luzon:

1) Shut down LYB airfields

2) Reinforce Vigan and build forts at Vigan and Iba.

3) Capture Aparri and build to level 9.

4) Attrit JJ ground troops by air

Correction: since it was an ASW attack and Michishio was attacking KXV at the time, that would be a "deep throat" shot rather than an "up-the-chuffer".

Given the complete picture .. I am with you on this ... put enough in Manila to discourage attacks and to keep the resources here busy and secure the rest of the Island ... Then concentrate everything in Manila and crush the IJ ... I might propose a 3 month endeavor...

In the meantime the massed aerial assault continues against vulnerable target .. although disabled/destroyed is obvious in the combat reports .. do not overlook the disruption results from combat/ground bombing.. a nice all out 4E attack just before the ground combat can have devastating consequences altering enemy firepower and AV linearly with %X disruption ...the adjusted AV after such an attack for example can be 1/2 even though disabled/destroyed squads did not reflect such devastation .... of course disabled/destroyed squads are a nice plus but again an air bombardment achieves more results than shown in the combat reports ...
