RE: 1943!
Thanks for the food for thoughts guys. Really hard to decide what is the best to do.
I am trying to think ahead now and understand where I want to be in early 1944.
We need to make a compromise between giving land and gaining time. I want him as much as possible far away from my inner perimeter but, at the very same time, I can't risk of being bypassed and so wasting the bulk of my land defences.
Ceylon can't be easily by-passed, but it can be isolated with a constant air campaign and once it's isolated, it's almost impossible to save what's there. Same goes for Madras (but Madras can be left there starving if he wishes so).
So, I will prepare for a close-future evacuation, while I prepare the next line of defences.
Ideally, I want to fall back into the historical perimeter (Burma, Adamans and Sumatra). What I am concerned about is western Sumatra, cause we all know how easy it is to land on the western coast and estabilishing a bridehead there.
I will try to follow Sangeli's suggestion but timings aren't really clear at the moment in my mind... we'll soon see anyway.
March 3-4, 1943
The allies sweep Colombo with their P-38Gs, losing 8 planes (3 A2A and 5 to ops) for 3 A6Ms...not bad, but I know when he will come back in good numbers, i'll suffer.
In the meanwhile the KI-44c becomes operative and 130 are immediately put into production. I won't have that many sentais that will be able to upgrade to it, probably 160 line fighters in total...but better than the "a" or "b" version will be for sure.
The first group of KI-61 Ib is operative in India, while the A6M8 and the KI-43 IV are moving nicely along the RnD process.
In SW OZ, the allies keep on sending troops to Esperance. Hope they will lose another month or so before getting to Perth. I will use this time to consolidate at Exmouth:
Here the defences will be:
a reinforced Division (1 Division + 1 Brigade)
2 Artillery units (150mm and 240mm)
1 CD unit
2 Heavy AA unit (8.8 and 10cm guns)
1 Eng Regiment
3 Base forces (with 8cm DP units)
5 or 6 forts (depends on the timing).
Port Hedland, with its level 9 AF will back it up.
Should be enough to defend the SW corner of the DEI.
Not much happening in the Solomons and in Centpac recently. Using this time to consolidate New Britain and the Marshalls. reinforcing Kavieng.
Mines flowing everywhere possible.
CHINA: very good advance here. Now we're 2 hexes from Kunming and we're facing a stack 450 AV strong...another long slog it will be, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel...we're close.
Tomorrow we'll begin the attack at Changsha. Hope for the best. 4 forts are present but the garrison shouldn't be that strong after months of air bombings.
Supplies are raising fast. 2.961 Millions. 44 turns ago we were at 2.647 [&o]
J2M3 should arrive by late September. Should be able to get the first group of Jacks by the first days of October.

Need some Anti-Tank here as he can march overland large amounts of armor. I had it happen to me the last time I played Japan.

You're right. I will move here a Tank regiment and an AT regiment with 47mm AT guns. Thanks!
Overland? without a road? That would be interesting to be seen. I doubt much supply will flow from Geralton
RE: 1943!
Being in march 43, I now also need to plan the rotation for the 4/43 IJN scheldued upgrades. As usual, I think I may simply let 1 CV upgrade and rotate them in-out of the shipyards until early 1944. I hate staying a whole month without my main ships...you never know when you need them!

RE: 1943!
How the Allies recapture Exmouth:
1. Close down Exmouth AF
2. While closing it down, max out Normanton (AF is able to go to 9)
3. Sent in multiple Barge TF to Normanton to build up supplies.
4. Use some of those plentiful C-47s to drop daily supplies to armor spearhead with a LRCAP.
5. Build up the dot base of Meekatharra (54,139) to size 9 for 4e bombers which is only 10 hexes across desert to Port Hedland.

I see.
I know they can do that, but it's not easy in my book.
10 hexes from Port Hedland may not be a lot, but for the fighters 10 hexes is a long way. To close down a lvl 9 Af 10 hexes away, he needs first to sweep me out of the skies. My hope is that, by the time he gets there, I can have quite a decent air force over P.H.
Anyway, as for every place on the map, the allies can have it if they really want to. My job is to make the effort as expensive and long as possible. As long as we'll be fighting in NW Oz in late 43, I'm pretty happy strategically wise
RE: 1943!
CHINA: as u can see we've made some sensible progresses towards Kunming.
At Changsha we're ready to assault the sieged city. Once the city will be ours, i'll have 13 divisions free to close on chungking, Kunming and Sian

RE: 1943!
Impressive. Mind you, if somehow the Chinese survive in the Kunming mountains and you lose your hold of Burma, then the Burma Road supply will appear in Tsuyung. Once more reason to hold Burma as long as possible, especially blocking the hex that stop the supply flow.

Yes, i am aware of that and i will try to defend Burma as best as i can. Need first to decide a timing for abbandoning the Assam region in India.
If the two armies that are now defending India will be able to succesfully get back to Burma, i think i can stall him once again.
Now i concentrate on getting to kunming. As far as i can tell, Kunming is the real defensive key of that complex for the Allies, so i may get the snowball effect once Kunming (if ever) falls.
Umboi Island. You asked and i didn't answer...sorry. Umboi is building nicely. Mines, CD guns, At guns, Field guns, forts (5 and building) are present. 30K supplies and 2000 fuel are already stockpiled there. Few more months and it will become a tough nut to crack. [:'(]

The first attack at Changsha is bloodier than foreseen, but we've already achieved a "large" 2-1. Now 2 more divisions will be added and on the 6th we'll resume the attacks. Hope to get there within the week.
On the road towards Kunming, things are more difficult, but I won't desist... I think we can get there too. just need a little bit more patience.

RE: 1943!
Are you basing fighters out of Colombo to support Trincolamee? I fear another raid like that will prevent even CAP from flying out of Trincolamee but having LRCAP from Colombo could potentially save you from ceding control of the air and shoot down some planes. As long as you don't let both air bases get shut down you could fight battles like that indefinitely.
RE: 1943!
Allied fighters should not be action ready for next 2 - 3 days. I am suspecting that his pilots morale is little low right now.
Additionally allies cannot loose Corsairs at this rate. However he should have still a lot of P-40K and P-39D which are still superior to any fighter in your arsenal Nicola.

RE: 1943!
Agree on the Corsairs but the Allied fighter losses were really not that bad considering how many planes were involved. I don't think morale for most of those groups will drop too badly and they will be able to fly missions the next day. I think Allied bombers took a bigger morale hit than the fighters; they are probably not ready for another mission. Though it's too risky to ground CAP in anticipation of heavy fighter sweeps without bombers so this insight isn't very useful.ORIGINAL: MrKane

I'm not so sure. In my recent experience, 4E bombers don't always take a big morale hit when they take losses. Not sure if that's a 4E thing, or just because I have great leaders in all of my 4E squadrons and I get lucky.
Losing even 3 bombers out of 12 in a squadron has only dropped my guys' morale to about 85 or so. That is not low by any means.
RE: 1943!
I don't believe his pilots' morale is any low. Losses were spread around many different groups and were not too heavy anyway.
However, on the Match 6th, Trico was left quiet, so i was able to rotate out the tired groups with fresh ones.
Sangeli: LRCAP doesn't really work for me: Colombo is 4 hees from Trico and the last thing i need is to get my boys tired up to the 20/30s points defending air spaces that i am not 100% sure will be attacked (he could chose Colombo or Madras as a target every day).
Tom: sure, that's why PDU OFF is so challenging for both player: Erik can field only a limited number of his crack planes, while i am forced to fight with whatever Japan has in its arsenal, trying to maximize the RnD program to fulfill the needs of the incredibly different upgade paths of my sentais.
CHINA: he managed to reinforce with a fresh group the fighting hex near Kunming and we got another 1-2 after the 1-1 of yesterday. Need patience. I know. Am now in the process of rotating the attacking units a bit. Th 2nd Tank Division is arriving.
Tomorrow we'll attack at Changsha again. Hope to get the forts down to 2.
Bombardments at Madras aren't doing much arm to my well dugin troops. He loses much more guns and vehicles than me at every attempt
CENTPAC: Eri starts back to recon Mili/Maloaep and the other high-marshalls bases. Gotta be ready....
APA/AKA and CVEs spotted moving back to Sydney from Melbourne.... what's next on his list? Port Moresby? Horn Island?
