Status: offline 		Losses off of Ceylon have been heavier than I would like but it looks like the decision to change the focus of the attack to Trico will pay off.

If I can get a 2nd AF in or around India with a decent AF then it makes it that much harder for PZB to defend.

I am not willing to bring more forces to India my forces are concentrating in the PI

Status: offline 		An update with all my carriers off of Colombo damaged by enemy air activity my transports are under constant air attack losses are heavy but acceptable P51's from Yanam are LRCAPING the transports and they are helping.

I hope to take Trico quickly.

The build up in the pI continues apace.

I have 6 Carriers covering the convoys getting through the gap its irritating (especially as it affects my losses off of India) but with both the Marianas and Iwo heavily garrisoned and 9 fort/moutainous (so thats 12 time defenders AV) attacker has no chance to take em.

Out of about 600 transports about 10 have been damaged or sunk so far. so the loss rate is acceptable.

PZB sortied his carrier (s) south to try and cut my LOC irritating but not serious I expect them to withdraw tonight

Status: offline 		So far I have 5 good AF's in the PI with more troops from SEA pouring into Manila harbour and all 4 offensive armies concentrating I need to think about next steps - mopping up PI will take 2 or 3 weeks and the convoys currently through the gap and en route to Luzon have 2m suplies and about 1.5m fuel plus a lot of base forces so Luzon becomes defact my main assault base

The question is where do I go next.

Any island that is mountainous is a no no 12x AV for the defender is just simply to much 2 Divs can stop 24 so I need to find a weak spotr in fighter coverage range of HI.

Status: offline 		Just did a quick count

Luzon has 700k supplies and about 50k of fuel between all bases.

Convoys that will unload 2 weeks will unload 1.6m supplies and 1.2m fuel.

Another Convoy with 600k supplies is 600miles from Midway and will be through the gap in 4 Weeks.

I have nearly 10,000 AV on Luzon now with more to follow as 1st Aus Army is ferried over from SEA.

I think the next step has to be one of the lvl 0 islands dump 50 seabee Bns onto it and build it up quickly

Status: offline 		OK a few turns passed this weekend not much to say really my convoys are more or less undamaged after the carriers split up to perform close escort.

So the supplies and fuel are en route.

Clark fell and the army is now following up to take other north luzon bases.

6th Inf Div is driving South on Naga.

Luzon should be full mopped up within 2 weeks which is excellent news.

Ceylon

Was a MISTAKE I went it half arsed with to little force and it has cost me 50 ships in the happy hunting ground that PZB has had.

I needed to be more organised and wasnt - irritating but not a disaster.

Status: offline 		Sorry guys its hard to do updates mega busy at work

OK Tricomalee has now falled and about 10 RAF Sqns appeared !!!

With Trico under my control I am redeploying all level bombers back to Luzon.

Appari Vigan Bataan Linguyen (when taken) will all take Tac 2E bombers.

B29's and 24J's are concentrating on Clark and Manila by the time I am done I will have 2,000+ bombers on Luzon and the fun really begins as I will use this hammer to force my way East.
 
It will take time but with all those bombers and Divisions resting I will have a force advantage for my next few moves.

Carriers will rest for next operations as will most of the battle line.

I have now got 2m supplies on Luzon and more convoys will make the trip under cover of carriers.

Some transports will start to pull in base forces HQ's etc from all over the map basically having amaqlgamated my armies on Luzon its now time to takew the direct route - slowly but direct...

Status: offline 		OK the Red Army is on the move.

Initial thoughts.

Forces are very widely seperated if PZB defends the outer perimeter of bases I may have an issue as my forces will take time to penetrate and join up into the one stack steamroller we all know you need in WITP.

I have zero hopes for the red AF its mostly FB's and LA 7's and the pilot xp is in the 60's - chances of taking on Reppus and Shindens - none....

The old WWIII joke for the soviet AF springs to mind - 2 Russian Tank Generals underneath the Eiffel Tower as the tanks pass in review - one says to the other BTW who won the air war..... ?

The AA associated with Soviet forces is formidable I doubt PZB will make much progress slowing me down from the air.

p.s. a single Marine Corsair is in Vladivostock I have no idea how he got there......

Supplies are an issue Soviets are quite short by allied standards.

Broadly after my frontier penetrations there will be 3 Fronts

Northern Front - Objective Harbin
Central Front - Diversionary aiming at Harbin as well
Southern Front - Northern Korea

I think the Northern Front needs to seriously establish itself ready to deploy south quickly !!!

The army needs a rest though so this will take time.

I dont like initial Soviet deployments I want to concentrate everything into one almighty mass and deliver a crushing blow to the Japanese.

Harbin is the key and my troops will congregate there.

Supplies are a real concern as the Japanese are light on supplies.

My losses have not been inconsequential I took my eye off the ball and lost a lot more than I really wanted to for a sideshow.

After I secure Lingyen and Naga I am going to leave eliminating the pockets to the armoured Regts the Inf have worked to hard they need a long rest in Manila and Clark atr least a month will be required to absorb replacements build prep points for the next objectinve and also gather in the extra av regts HQ and base forces I will need  for future operations.

The Russians will take up the slack short term but medium term a campaign towards the HI backed by an air armada based on Luzon is the next USN move

Status: offline 		Just a thought ahead to the HI invasion, but would an a-bomb strike on the landing zone the turn before be useful?  This would probably only hold if the LZ was a desirable economic target as well, but I'd like to see the effetcs of an a-bomb strike on a concentration of 100-200K troops and then see you hit them with a concentrated invasion force

stop those shock attacks against already defeated enemy troops. You're only disabling your own troops, there is no benefit from reaching a 118:1 vs. a 2:1 (against troops without forts). Actually you should even bombard enemy troops for some turns once you have defeated them and then you can just do a deliberate attack against them.

Plus most of the Infantry is now withdrawing to Clark to rest leaving just Arty and Armour so shock attacks work best for Amrour.

Status: offline 		OK a few points on Manchuria

I stopped the thrust West from Vladivostock and sent the forces North instead.

Two of my thrusts are in the mountains where PZB has concentrated a large number of troops at a base so x12 defender multiple - I have no intention of attacking these bases - lvl 9 forts plus mountains = impossible to take even for the Soviets so I am not going to waste my time.

Of the 5 routes to central Manchuria 2 are protected by mountainous bases and will be invested but not attacked.

The other 3 will converge on central manchuria flanking the other 2 bases and forcing a withdrawal - I have no intention of throwing away good troops on an unwinnable fight that would wreck my speahead.

(In fact as soon as I am in the clear in the centre and converging on Harbin I will divert the majority of the forces committed to the two mountainous bases into the centre as 2nd Echelon troops.

I was talking about artillery bombardments (additionally having bombers on ground attack does help, of course). The trick is to disable as many Japanese combat squads as possible to force them to surrender/banzai. To do this, very high odds are not neccessary. You'll (basically) disable as many enemy squads with artillery bombardments as with shock attacks (without disabling your own squads/devices in the process). Do artillery bombardments for 3-5 turns and then do a deliberate attack. Should work faster than shock attacks (because you'll attack with more functional devices = causing higher casualties = more disabled Japanese squads = better odds to have them surrender/banzai).

x3 for mountains + x3 for level 9 forts = x6 defense multiplier.

Nevertheless, better to isolate them first.

Wouldn't it be multiplicative? 3x X 3x = 9x
