USN/USMC groups arrive with planes. Except the fighter squadrons (because reasons ). Problem is that (and any allied player will know this) is that they arrive without pilots and USN and especially USMC pilots are chronically short in supply.



You have carriers packed with pilots. Which is more important right now? Just saying . . .


Takes about a week for transfers doesn't it?

Or are they variable?

If you use "request veteran" it is almost always instant.

Right now I don´t really need any of the devices. I might in the coming weeks though. I will certainly push the armored divisions hard.

That's over 3 months of production for the squads, and when the type upgrades to 1943 or 1944 they will convert to the new type... which means faster upgrades for your divisions. Much faster.

I think it's variable, but I'm not a pilot expert. Say it's a week. Better sooner than later. I have lost track of where the carriers are, but my impression is Far To The West of LA. I'd pull them in, dump the pilots, use the time to repair the air wings' durability losses.

2nd Armored is big, but it's 1941 infantry, which can be fixed, but probably take a three-split and several days. Couple of the ER units have terrible experience levels too. They're still great units, but not magical.

That's not really a fair question unless you also give the Japanese ER package a couple of million civilians with spears.

They can model 3 drunks in the middle of nowhere Australia, but can't 100's of old geezers with Colt 45's in downtown LA

I can actually upgrade them straight away. In fact I hope they done that this turn. I have something like 300+ squads in the pools. Hence I´m not that excited about the extra squads in the ER package.

As Loka mentioned somewhere above this post you can get most of them instantly if you manually pick them using the "request veteran" button. That´s how I managed to teleport my best pilots in India to the P47 squadrons.

Well, yes and no. I´m not entirely unconcerned with this the WC invasion. But I´m not worried enough that I´m willing to forgo the opportunity this presents. I´m not quite ready to give up all the details yet but more info will come.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Regarding the WC OP IMO the worst possible outcome is that I lose SD. And extra division there would have made me feel much better. LA is just utterly impossible for the Japanese to overcome at this point as is SF.

Losing SD would be a big blow but not fatal one. Obviously it would wipe out most of my CAT production which would be a disaster. But it would not knock me out of the war. Some of it could be migrated by other means if needed. If I do lose SD I need to make sure I get something in return for it. Something war changing would

As I said earlier I remain positive. My preparations have paid off and besides 1 division not making it to SD in time everything are now in place and detraining. There is no immediate danger to lose anything critical and I can now sit back and wait for the ER to arrive at the scene. Once they arrive I will assess the situation again and if possible I will counter attack. I think Jeff made a big mistake by landing on both sides of LA as this has split his forces in two. Neither side will probably be strong enough to withstand an allied counter attack. The question will be if I can counterattack while making sure I dont lose LA to the other flank...having level 9 forts obviously helps with this.

Seattle just bumped its forts to level 9 and the engineers will rail south and begin expanding AFs behind LA. Air HQs and BFs are also railing in and will arrive in 2 days.

Morale at Allied HQ is high. I see this as an opportunity to be used!

Had this happened in early/mid 42 though...

Should be #2255, 'IJA Armored Div'.

Ref San Diego - remember it's not quite isolated yet as you just received 100 or so transport aircraft; as long as you have the air over SD you can fly stuff in, though obviously at risk of transports being shot down etc. Got any light infantry sorts of units sitting around?

Thanks!

So about 100 Mediums and 75 Lights / Division.

Looking at the TOE he should have (if I read things correctly) Type 1 Mediums in his divisions right now. Looking at them it seems they actually outperform the M3 Lee by quite a bit. This could be problematic. Starting to regret I sent most of the TD battalions to India...

Going by memory I do have 1 Battalion of Jacksons. And USA 42 squads have a pretty good Anti Armor value (25). Once I can get stuff upgraded to 43 squads its bumped to 55 and Japanese armor becomes pretty much irrelevant.

I´m used to pretty much ignoring IJ Tank divisions as I only encountered them later in the game. This time I will pay attention though.

Not all but some. I still have 2 IDs + all RGTs and smaller units covering the North. I have the 104th ID in strat mode in SF. The ER troops are also moving aboard trains and could be diverted North if needed.

Got the turn from Jeff. Update coming shortly.

_____________________________________________________________________________

I can´t possibly provide all the details without spending all day doing nothing but writing in the AAR. So you will have to live with the big picture.

My SCTF all failed to connect with something. And in true AE fashion a TF finds itself stranded in the middle of nowhere during the day. Amazingly everything is afloat although DD Hull is in bad shape after a small CV strike.

I think Jeff did a terrible mistake here today. Surprised he didn´t ask for a redo but I´m happy he didn´t. I spent 6 hours on the turn and I bet he did the same.

quote:

Amphibious Assault at 225,78

17 troops of a IJA Inf Squad lost from landing craft during unload of 21st Div /5
17 troops of a IJA Inf Squad lost overboard during unload of 21st Div /10


This is an island outside SD. Its not even a dot so I can´t imagine this was on purpose. Strike one division!

The turns was not without allied mistakes though. When going through everything railing to SD and LA i missed 4 AA units that were almost vaporized at Santa Ana.

6th Guards Division

Defending units:
803rd Aviation Engineer Battalion
Clark Field AAF Base Force
Nichols Field AAF Base Force
Del Monte AAF Base Force


Unless he reinforces this landing heavily this is where our counterattack will happen. 6th Guards are weak division that can probably be handled by a small forces aided by some air support.

At least I got some intel for the losses...The forces he landed so far is not a threat to SD.


And now you know where that tank division is!

What 4E bomber units do you have in the area?

Too little I´m afraid. About 80 4Es at SF repairing aircraft.

Still missing 2nd Tank division. Last SIGINT says they were aboard ships. They previously were at Adak.

Not sure what this is. Could be ships moving towards the invasion area or a feint invasion. No carriers spotted and with KB spotted down south its a very unlikely invasion.

Status: offline 		Decided to hold off the turn until tomorrow. Too tired and had a few to drink. Want a clear head when I do the turn.

I´m going to unleash the air force tomorrow and I don´t want to mess anything up. Judging by the screen another TF is on its way to land at Santa Ana. Going to sweep heavily and let the Nav bombers loose while trying to close the airfield.

Jeff will probably fly in some fighters (assuming they have the range from CH?). I´ll set 50 fighters to LRCAP and the rest to sweep. My bases behind LA is not ready so it will have to fly from LA. If he bombards there tomorrow I´m smoked...

Thoughts?
