Conventional wisdom is that without Palembang Japan is done. But I am done already, put a fork in me.

Palembang will never provide much oil to Japan, even if I reverse everything there as it is a smoking ruin for another solid two months. I simply lack the air strength.

I guess the argument here is that with two American bases in Manchuko this is pretty much pointless battlefield. However, I have to go on the assumption that I need to absolutely, positively prevent supply convoys from getting into Siberia and closer American Ports to Honshu/Hokkaido.

No sooner has the Zuikaku left, than P40s and plentiful Allied bombers show up hitting my bases and sinking two hapless xAPs (15 vp or so) that failed to unload their supplies fast enough. My bad there...

I had thought to send Rufes up here, and might to Bering and Medny, but Attu will need fighters and ships eventually.

I have this group, which cannot be resized, and two other groups that can go to 24. I plan to use every possible group that can fly float fighters..even those that later upgrade into the 5 series of Zeroes. I want my float fighters!

I use them for that, but sparingly. They are 10 vp each, and quite the fuel hog eating I think 5 fuel a day.

This was my bad, the xaps dropped off troops the day before and I neglected to order them out. I think they only had a couple hundred supply but they stuck around, unloading supplies because their orders got messed up by High Command (which was travelling, working off a laptop, tired, and in a lousy hotel room to boot! -- no way to run a war!).

I was not able to notice exactly when it happened to give him a sequence of actions. When you save, exit, restart the game and open the save the flak report will be normal.

Did some good in the air today. Wait till the Allies encounter the Rufe! Next month Nicks on May 1, and A6M3 sometime a little later.

Have been reading this AAR for a while. Man! You are fighting very well for the position you find yourself in!




+1



Thanks for the kind words, but I am getting my keister kicked. I have made so many mistakes.

We shall see what the game looks like in five months.

Yes!

And the combination of 'suck it up and get down to business' plus adept play (both tactically and strategically) is making this great to watch.

I like that. I have never thought of that. Another tool to add to the box.

Possible big clash as battleships, cruisers and light cruisers in 3 task forces hunt the enemies bombardment task forces....and two of the biggest task forces will end up in the mouth of Palembang, leaving the seriously exposed to enemy air strikes.

Each AR provides almost the equivalent system damage repair of a size 9 port eligible for all ship types.

Sunwu falls to massive tank and motorized Army. I cut the major road heading north west from Tsitsihar, but really what is the point? Over 4000 AFVs to their east and another 20 units at Arshan....

Many waves of night bombers at Palembang, and the severe storms more than the AA fend off the bombers.

Even with the great terrain, that is a huge advantage in raw AV (and tanks and artillery) to the Allies. I can think of a few reasons why he hasn't attack, and I don't like them one bit.

Tomorrow the Lightnings will come. Will I still be here?

So, I was going to pull them out on April 2nd turn, and instead I am pulling them out on the April 6th turn. They improved their average Air skill from 36 to 40, and the Defense skill from 35 to 37 in only three full days of training.
