--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ground combat at Adak Island (162,52)
Japanese Bombardment attack
Attacking force 11105 troops, 106 guns, 41 vehicles, Assault Value = 795
Defending force 12815 troops, 290 guns, 399 vehicles, Assault Value = 247 – with the failed assault on Chungking, I am wary of the attack here but will send it in 2 days anyway.

Japanese Deliberate attack
Attacking force 3896 troops, 40 guns, 4 vehicles, Assault Value = 186
Defending force 3833 troops, 40 guns, 46 vehicles, Assault Value = 145
Japanese adjusted assault: 15 – another awful result. The SNLF and Ind. Bn lack the firepower to capture this hex on their own. I will need to find some combat engineers and artillery to join in here, but nothing is prepared so they will take large disablements upon landing.
Allied adjusted defense: 467
Japanese assault odds: 1 to 31 (fort level 3)
Combat modifiers
Defender: terrain(+), forts(+), disruption(-), fatigue(-) experience(-). Plenty of (-) but still get just over x3 bonus to raw AV. Notably the defenders still have supply.
An IJA Division would do the trick, but I don’t have any spare unless I send one of the Southern Army reserve Divs north. 4th Division is at Soerabaja and 21st Division is at Rabaul. As 14th Army is also at Rabaul with 48th Div, perhaps this is a job for the 21st Division.

Defending units: The other 2x Regts from 55th Div are marching in from the SW and SE, but are still 3-4 days away. Artillery, cavalry and engineers are also moving to join the battle at Jorhat.

I just checked my June notes and BB Arizona was hit by 1 torpedo fired by SS I-15 on 16 Jun 42, about the same time that BB Nevada was hit by multiple torpedoes. The Int Staff are now reporting 3x USN BBs sunk. BB West Virginia in SOPAC 8 Jun 42; BB Nevada near Pearl Harbour 17 Jun 42 and now BB Arizona.

3rd Air Army arrives at Saigon – LGEN Tarada has 67 air skill so will retain command. There are only 3x LGENs with slightly better air skills but with max 73 air skill it is not worth replacing him at the cost of 30 PPs.
