Ground combat at Manila

Japanese Bombardment attack

Attacking force 149768 troops, 950 guns, 0 vehicles

Defending force 41201 troops, 240 guns, 0 vehicles



Allied ground losses:
171 casualties reported

Okay then - anyone hazard to guess how long I will last in Manila - supply is low but not out, disruption and fatigue is obviously high, leaders are the best available

Thousands upon thousands have been killed, wounded or have simply disappeared, and the Philippino capital lies in utter ruin, mute testimony to the callous disregard for the Philippino people showed by the former government and its American masters.

Personally directed by Southern Area Army commander, General Kazuo Dohihara, the Imperial Army overran the final enemy strongpoints today and forced the surrender of more than 50,000 enemy troops. The first phase of the war is now complete and we can move forward.

Anyhoo, the score situation has changed decisively with the end of the campaign on Luzon. So, since nothing much happened today, I'll post the score screen.

Elsewhere, a bit of an operational pause. The collapse of Manilla was very sudden and now I have to move some shipping around and rest some of my more heavily damaged army units, before I'm ready to resume the offensive.

Today's only occurrence was the capsizing of US destroyer Spriston at Midway, yet another victim of the Battle of Wake. I wonder what happened to some of his more heavily damaged battlships?

Hmm. I can't find her - don't think she is in the game - photo is circa 1915 - anyone?

Meanwhile a picture of a ship that is arriving in the pacific very soon

Speaking of which, the US battleship Connecticut joined the growing number of artificial reefs at Midway this turn. It's hardly fair to exchange a 12-inch clunker for one of my precious 16-inch ships, but them's the breaks...

Status: offline 		As the fourth month of war begins, US ASW forces at Midway got lucky. Imperial submarine No. 34 executed a successful attack on the American destroyer Sinclair, only to be pummelled into the ocean floor by depth charges. That makes a grand total of TWO submarines sunk in three months of fighting. At this rate, the last submarines will be sunk sometime in late 1955!

Elsewhere, Imperial troops landed at Roxas.
