Sounds like Zeta shouldn't have invaded Ulithi if you ask me
Throwing in the kitchen sink to suppress a chain of well fortified islands isn't recommended unless certain key pre-requisites can be met first.
Andy aborted just such an attempted landing against the Marianas and has been slugging it against isolated islands ever since.

Even an attempt at a small island chain (Bonins) stalled Andy - mostly because he didn't use LBA from Wake
and Marcus to suppress Bonin and Iwo Jima first.

To successfully occupy the Palaus in WitP you have to:

1. Occupy Truk and Central/Northern New Guinea and establish bases for your LBA.
2. Pound the Palaus into rubble.
3. Land heavy contingents of LCUs covered by a US Super Carrier Navy with Hellcats and Corsairs supported by
heavy surface combat groups.

Even 10/44 may be too early if you haven't fulfilled the pre-requisites.
It's much like a receipt for making a cake, you have to know how to do it to succeed

Still haven't heard about anyone invading the Home Islands in a pbem game, so I'm not sure whether this is possible or not.
As this wasn't attempted in RL it's impossible to get many pointers, but it would have been bloody.
The US estimated 1 million casualties.

Zeta invaded HI in the "hirohito style" AAR.

We manage a major strike from Rangoon: 50 fighters and 124 bombers.
Unfortunately this was one of those days the attack ac couldn't hit defenseless cargo ships...

Sometimes you can see that very few hits will be achieved as all attacking units finish their attack
runs in fractions of a second. Only 5 ships were hit.

The enemy cargo ships were most likely empty ones returning from Bangkok. The enemy LRCAP was rather
nasty to our escorts, but the bombers got through.

They could really benefit from drastically reducing the ways and means with which pilots accrue experience. I must have been a perfect fornicator by the time I was out of university, or at least a 98!

I must be a long serving 99 alcoholic! A 99 bitch and complainer. Oh well, not much to do in life now, I'm perfect at everything I like or have to do.

Trust me Ron, this is the only Recon unit I have that is this good.
It has been in China and thus been able to live a long life. Not even 65 replacement Dinah IIIs pr months is enough to replace
the losses from Allied ac intercepting them at full speed while flying at 34k feet.

In general pilot exp should increase more slowly, but with the current A2A model it doesn't really matter much.
Both have to be adjusted to make sense.

These shock attacks must be rough on the Allied soldiers. Despite the pounding our
garrison took they still infliced heavy casualties on the enemy. I'm ordering more
reserves to Bangkok from the north. One partial Brigade and a heavy artillery regiment
will arrive over the next 2-3 days.

The Far East

The rather confusing situation in the Far East.
All of Andy's efforts are directed towards this area for now.

We're soon into March 1945, only 12 months to go. How far can Andy get - and will hi be able to nuke
the Home Islands? Currently I can't see that his B-29s can reach them. Only normal range will do, right!?

Slow going lately, preparing for my 16 day Easter vacation

The never ending Allied air attacks isn't good for game turnaround either.

Trying to put together a fighter reserve based on the Tony-100. In a few months
we should be able to field 300 high exp ac and pilots. Will try to use them in a
an all out effort to maximize effect. Should be good mixed with Oscars, Georges and
Jacks.

I think the "hirohito style" AAR stopped before zeta could capture tokyo. He did take several bases on HI though IIRC.

now that is another question entirely

italian - NEVER .. too much obsolete rubbish both in the air and
on the land ( bolted together tanks do not make a lot of sense)

German - maybe .. some rather nice kit

I'm back, but my suitcase is still not unpacked...hope to get to the next turn on Wednesday, busy tomorrow!

Attaching a picture from our visit to the Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Kiev, my gf commented that I got pictures
of ALL the tanks there

Now she knows why we arrange boys trips.

I really had to smile when I saw my face on this one

They had a really kewl Hind that served in Afghanistan.

Wow, this pbem game is still going? And people wonder why most of us want solo games and stong AI's. Congrats on holding off the Allies so far. Excuse me, I have about 100 pages to read now.

Serves me right for not visiting this forum for 2 years (I'm a full-time student these days, I haven't had time for WITP since 2005).

Hehe, welcome back Brisd! The AAR is rather slow right now. When I was a student, no problemo...with work, new apartment, work out, a gf - a life in other words - I find myself sitting gaping at the monitor around this time

Lots of logistics each turn. Will be months until the Navy can put together a battle fleet again.
I also want to rest and refit the Air Force. Alas, Andy's carriers outside the Bonins are left mostly in peace.

The situation on the fronts is stable, so it's a good time to gather reinforcements.

That's the way to go, PzB!

Ambushes like that is your only choice now - good for the Imperial morale

and bad for Allied bomber's morale

.

Every ambush will force Andy to be more careful about sending bombers in the raids and that will buy you a couple of days - even if you don't intercept him every time. Just watch him and try to get perfect timing - when his fighers are fatigued and yours arent... even worse ac type can inflict serious losses to superior ac when they are fatigued....and forcing the enemy planing into details - something what Andy, it seems, doesn't like very much

Greetings Pauk-San!

Afraid it's only pin ****s, Andy doesn't care whether he loose 100 ac every day. Got more
than enough Army bombers and fighters.

Tried to send air units to the Bonins as I hoped Andy would concentrate more on the front in Bangkok.
Think the red air marker gave us away and hundreds of heavies from Marcus hit Iwo. Some 100 ac torched on the
ground. Of the bombers that did take of from Bonin almost every single one were shot down.

So the situation is pretty dead locked - and not too exciting.
I need the super interceptor to get more fun out of this game now

Tomorrow we receive the huge I-400 sub with 3 Glens.
Got plenty of subs around Wake and Marcus, but they refuse to attack the unescorted enemy transports.
Guess I will save the subs for the next Allied invasion.
