8th of April -42 ______________________________________________________________________________ China collapses like a house of cards. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Like domino all the roadblocks collapses in just two turns. It all begins with the rivercrossing roadblock collapsing. quote:
Ground combat at 81,39 (near Tienshui) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 41057 troops, 782 guns, 629 vehicles, Assault Value = 860 Defending force 30350 troops, 165 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 429 Japanese adjusted assault: 624 Allied adjusted defense: 235 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 1072 casualties reported Squads: 13 destroyed, 77 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Guns lost 9 (1 destroyed, 8 disabled) Allied ground losses: 6892 casualties reported Squads: 229 destroyed, 20 disabled Non Combat: 289 destroyed, 7 disabled Engineers: 9 destroyed, 4 disabled Guns lost 13 (11 destroyed, 2 disabled) They retreat into the hex SW causing massive overstack (its just 30k limit). Tom reacts at once attacking the following turn. Due to the overstack most (all?) supply is lost and DIS rises even among the entrenched units that held so well prior to this are rendered useless. quote:
Ground combat at 81,40 (near Ankang) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 36190 troops, 427 guns, 360 vehicles, Assault Value = 1097 Defending force 52527 troops, 191 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1070 Japanese adjusted assault: 552 Allied adjusted defense: 154 Now it begins... 90% AV reduction Japanese assault odds: 3 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), disruption(-), supply(-) Attacker: leaders(+), fatigue(-) Japanese ground losses: 663 casualties reported Squads: 14 destroyed, 58 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 11 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 10 (2 destroyed, 8 disabled) Units pursuing 1 Allied ground losses: 8130 casualties reported Squads: 314 destroyed, 3 disabled Non Combat: 253 destroyed, 9 disabled Engineers: 10 destroyed, 9 disabled Guns lost 12 (12 destroyed, 0 disabled) Now things turn really nasty...these troops retreats due West...the turn after that Tom attacks another Corps to the NE. This stack retreats into the same hex... So now I have 4 hexes worth of troops stacked in one hex. I won´t be able to get them out before Tom arrives with his Panzer Armee. In fact he just got two RGT into the hex. I have Zero supply and 130k troops in a 40k hex... I don´t think I will have to explain what will happen tomorrow when he attacks. He can now simply push this 140k stack in front of him causing massive losses until he reaches the plains. So buy buy China... ------------------------ SOPAC ------------------------ So the invasion turns back 1 day out. Not sure why as there was no DL on any base. Only thing I can think of is that it was a trap to draw my CVs out. Looked convincing enough with 2 separate Amphib TFs, a big SCTF and MKB. Then again...would he go blindly into this without knowing my CVs location without having the KB nearby? Probably not. ------------------------ Burma ------------------------ Tom lands at Akyab. Only a RGT so far. Not going to react much to this right now.
