Yeah, we could arrange a little meditation evening here. I'm almost getting sick from the expecting his offensive, he promised me "wait for P-38" but nothing happends. I'm afraid that he will wait untill his ac groups are upgraded to the Hellcats and rest of his toys arrives. In that case i will be overhelmed, no matter what i will do (Pauk-san says: there is no honor in that kind of victory). Regarding Burma, i already see that Andy using new methods learned from yours game. He captured Myitkina with paras, then he airlifted 5 LCU quickly in the base and this will be a model of his future invasions. I'm not big fan of the "great air-bridge war in the Pacific" but i'm not complaining - nothing wrong and gamey with that. Burma will be defended at any cost, currently i have 5 divisions there (Imperial, 3th, 9th, 33th, 55th) 5 tk rtg, mix bde, mix rtg and couple of smaller units. I'm ready for him - all bases are fortified to the max level and don't think he can suprise me. 3rd Tk Div (34% of TOE) guarding Singapore, while 38th division and 23rd Mix bde helping building forts at Johore Baru and Georgetown. Actually i think i know what he will do - attack Mandalay and force me to send bulk of my army to the base (he moved indian div and some units rescued from DEI to Myitkina) and then land in my backyard (Tavoy, Moulmein). I'm ready for that solution too but the question is - can my LCU holds off against his 4E hordes? I'm using 1.801 but i can not say that things were improved. Still having chutais on glenns with max size 0, supply is not flowing smoothly where it needed.... AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/11/42 AUSTRALIA Ground combat at 14,91 - some more easy VP awarded! Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 10219 troops, 48 guns, 292 vehicles, Assault Value = 510 Defending force 4530 troops, 0 guns, 311 vehicles, Assault Value = 172 Japanese max assault: 338 - adjusted assault: 602 Allied max defense: 161 - adjusted defense: 51 Japanese assault odds: 11 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 108 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Vehicles lost 4 Allied ground losses: 610 casualties reported Vehicles lost 51 Defeated Allied Units Retreating! AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/12/42 PACIFIC Big conwoys arrived at Tarawa. There is nothing i can do it because Andy have massive CAP over the base. But there are still places suitable for my mines.... TF 1094 encounters mine field at Palmyra (106,85) Allied Ships TK Santa Maria, Mine hits 1, on fire BURMA As i expected, my two tk rtgs were unable to achive good result at Mytkina... Day Air attack on 10th Tank Regiment, at 36,28 Allied aircraft Hurricane II x 13 Spitfire Vb x 2 P-38G Lightning x 10 Japanese ground losses: 15 casualties reported Vehicles lost 2 Aircraft Attacking: 13 x Hurricane II bombing at 2000 feet ------------------------------------------------ Day Air attack on 10th Tank Regiment, at 36,28 Allied aircraft F4F-4 Wildcat x 15 Kittyhawk I x 10 P-40E Warhawk x 38 P-38G Lightning x 23 A-20B Boston x 30 B-25C Mitchell x 53 B-26B Marauder x 9 B-17E Fortress x 41 B-24D Liberator x 53 I-153c x 14 IL-4c x 18 SB-2c x 20 Japanese ground losses: 431 casualties reported Guns lost 5 Vehicles lost 27 ------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 10th Tank Regiment, at 36,28 Allied aircraft Wellington III x 46 B-25C Mitchell x 13 Japanese ground losses: 68 casualties reported Vehicles lost 5 This is what i can show in return. Tomorrow will my units at Akyab try another desperate asssault. Day Air attack on 1st Burma Rifles Brigade, at 30,29 Japanese aircraft G4M1 Betty x 41 Allied ground losses: 103 casualties reported --------------------------------- Ground combat at Myitkyina Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 3531 troops, 0 guns, 226 vehicles, Assault Value = 130 Defending force 3880 troops, 45 guns, 3 vehicles, Assault Value = 167 Japanese max assault: 85 - adjusted assault: 7 Allied max defense: 145 - adjusted defense: 105 Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese ground losses: 53 casualties reported Vehicles lost 8 Allied ground losses: 88 casualties reported Guns lost 3 AUSTRALIA Still gathering easy victory points. The good thing is that enemy tk units will need time for r&r so they will be out of action for a while. Ground combat at 14,92 Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 4568 troops, 6 guns, 286 vehicles, Assault Value = 170 Defending force 2700 troops, 0 guns, 176 vehicles, Assault Value = 85 Japanese max assault: 292 - adjusted assault: 560 Allied max defense: 68 - adjusted defense: 7 Japanese assault odds: 80 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 27 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Vehicles lost 3 Allied ground losses: 250 casualties reported Vehicles lost 52 Defeated Allied Units Retreating! And finally i have a rant for you guys. Remember my fears that with new ASW routine Jap ASW will become useless no matter what i do? now sit down and enjoy. Here is what Jap intelligence caught in the eter near Cebu. "we are camping, we are camping we can hapily camping in the port, Thanks to Ron, we are invisible guys, thanks to Ron, we are using Klingon clocking device... (lalalalala) we are camping, we are camping and we can do it until the end of the war no one can do nothing, cause Ron asked for it... (lalalala)" Since i'm on 1.8 my ASW attacked enemy subs only once without success. Allied ASW was very efficient, in return (couple of I-boots were seriously damaged from the air). It seems to me that chances of survival for the Jap boats increased by 50 % while Allied boats chances are boosted with 90 %.
