April 8th - 9th (cont.) ______________________________________________________________________________ This and that... ------------------------ NORPAC ------------------------ Jeff continues to try and bomb bases on the WC. He tries for two days and I think those two days shows pretty clearly why bombing the WC won´t work. This is the first of 2 stikes at Bremerton. Defending are a lone half TOE Coast AA unit in strat mode. quote:
Morning Air attack on Bremerton , at 211,52 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 18 NM, estimated altitude 7,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 6 minutes Japanese aircraft G3M2 Nell x 21 G4M1 Betty x 6 Japanese aircraft losses G3M2 Nell: 6 damaged G3M2 Nell: 1 destroyed by flak G4M1 Betty: 1 damaged Resources hits 8 Repair Shipyard hits 2 14 Japanese bombers lost to AA and OPS. On the 9th Jeff tries again but this time he goes for Spokane. Again a lone AA unit in stratmode. Although this one has a full TOE. quote:
Afternoon Air attack on Spokane , at 215,48 Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid detected at 57 NM, estimated altitude 8,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 22 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 8 G3M2 Nell x 12 G4M1 Betty x 13 Japanese aircraft losses G3M2 Nell: 4 damaged G4M1 Betty: 5 damaged G4M1 Betty: 1 destroyed by flak 6 Japanese bombers lost to flak and OPS for no damage to allied industry. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Jeff has really turned on the pressure here. I´m losing the Ankang roadblock. Problem is that the reinforcements I send in arrive with 0 forts and are instantly pummeled in the next attack. I have two very strong Corps digging in behind though and will pull back soon. First attack by the Panzer Armee in the south is a bit of a surprise. I guess the level 3-4 forts help. quote:
Ground combat at 74,52 (near Tuyun) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 29443 troops, 275 guns, 562 vehicles, Assault Value = 876 Defending force 49059 troops, 150 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1370 Japanese adjusted assault: 122 Allied adjusted defense: 3226 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 26 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: Vehicles lost 213 (65 destroyed, 148 disabled) Allied ground losses: 621 casualties reported Squads: 5 destroyed, 63 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Assaulting units: 1st Tank Regiment 104th Division 9th Tank Regiment 3rd Tank Regiment 5th Tank Regiment 7th Tank Regiment 51st Division 6th Tank Regiment 10th Tank Regiment 23rd Army 21st Mortar Battalion Defending units: 11th Chinese Corps 28th Chinese Corps 10th Chinese Corps 25th Chinese Corps 99th Chinese Corps 9th Group Army ------------------------ India ------------------------ The TF "stuck" is causing me a tremendous amount of grief as its carrying US 75 fighters as well as the 27th US infantry division and artillery. These forces were supposed to shore up the defense but will now be delayed by 3 weeks. Reinforcements keep pouring into Chittagong and there are now over 60k troops there and 28 units. With no good terrain to defend I´m not sure what to do right now. I´ll try to get some screens up later today.
