He must be stripping all units possible to maintain this level of attack. Didn't we see a Dutch ground unit used to beed up an invasion in IndoChina? Soerabaja Bandoeng and Batavia have garrison requirements (approx. 120AV total).

How would you know if those bases are basically empty?

I guess the game would eventually gives this info to the Allies on Japanese bases, but is there any such intel reported back to Japan if the Allies ignore garrison requirements?

I am still astounded that the Allies can put so many troops, ships, and equipment together for this level of counteroffensive operations in August 1942.


I think Allied players are, on average, far too risk-adverse at the beginning. They get slaughtered for sure with a competent Jap on the other side and no Russians involved, still they can do a lot of damage eventually easing things later.

Or avoiding conquests much larger than the historical perimeter.


Much of the stuff allied player throws in this game are basically units that get destroyed in the very first months or are sent to garrison important bases in the rear.

Those unrestricted I mean

It has been pretty much a stalemate since I pushed back the last assault in the open.

I doubt it. The Allies have a ton on units since I have destroyed so very, very few of them.

ABDA force from Quinhon moves decisively towards Cam Ranh Bay, which has no hope of stopping an attack.

Lots of engineers at Quinhon...

The TF from Cam Ranh Bay reacted four times and simply returned back to Cam Ranh Bay despite having a different home base selected...maybe they can get away today.

Status: offline 		The Soviets have retreated and taken up defensive positions and I simply can't dig them out. So I railed the 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions with the goal of doing something in China.

Instead, they have sat in the city training for what I don't know.

In a normal game they would be in Burma/India now along with several other infantry divisions. Instead the Allied forces in Indochina/Thailand/Malaya outnumber Japan at least 3-1 and with a huge advantage in tanks, artillery, and AA.

The cruisers actually fought a winning slugfest a while back outside of Singapore, and actually won but retreated to the north up the straits even though they came from the east.

So here they are, wallowing.

Almost all PP spent went to taking back Sakhalin and stabilizing Manchuko. I managed to buy out a brigade and ship it to Hanoi just this past week the very first PP high AV troops sent west I believe.

And at the home front the people are suffering in fear of what happened to their heroes and due to the lack of updates.

After a summer vacation by the Allies, and a little minor surgery for me, we are back....

A Japanese training cruiser sorties by herself...she startles a troop convoy unloading, but doesn't engage, and then finds this force...but manages to escape after only four shell hits.

Katori then finds the earlier troop convoy and puts a few shells into it...

Game does this with any kind of movement vs loading/airtransport conflict. Nice thing to have so that you not accidentally split a unit

Sorry, had some medical work and being on the computer for more than a half hour hasn't been all that pleasant. I believe I have flipped a two turns with no report...back to the war.

ABDA pincers moving on both Saigon and Cam Ranh Bay in strength....

Yamoto is approaching Cam Ranh Bay, while the Allied fleets are just a little west of Saigon.

Japan has almost no AT capability here...but three rapid fire AT gun units are unloading at Haiphong along with a Tank Regiment.

Lightnings sweep Cam Ranh Bay and do very well.

Status: offline 		Not good...I will most likely use 4 battleships to bombard the Allied troops here, but my experience is that Japanese ships bombarding Allies in decent non-base terrain fails big time. My cruiser bombardments over the last two days definitely was very poor.

But using the ships to bombard, I will then have to run back to Samah...

Sorry to hear about your medical concerns. I wish you a speedy recovery and many-many more postings.
