Status: offline 		So I guess I'm a bit confused here. Do you have any idea why Steve would be trying a landing in Rangoon? Also, you have like an 8 to 1 AV ratio in Rangoon; one shock attack should cause them all to surrender. Seems like a silly way to waste units for the Allies at this point when he should be prepping for an invasion of Ceylon.

As for Singapore the only thing you can really do is mass up those IJA bombers and keep the airfield under constant repair. As long as he has an airfield to repair, he can't rebuild his forts. Rule #1 in my book for assaulting major bases is to never let your opponent rebuild those forts you work so hard to bring down. Those losses are a bit easier to stomach knowing the next assault, whenever it will be, will be against a lower level fort. But even then, I'm surprised you're having so much trouble with it given that you've dedicated over 5,000 AV to it. What do you plan on doing with those units after they sack Singapore?

Status: offline 		Steve moved most of his Chinese troops overland to Burma so I'm guessing he is trying to put my troops between a rock and a hard place.

I saw his TFs with my air search in time to get troops down to Rangoon but I had to un-ass Toungoo to do so. And I barely made it down. My last ground unit from Toungoo finished unpacking from using the rails this turn.

I'll continue to hold off on the attack as Steve keeps massing ships in the Rangoon hex to support his invasion. This makes going after his shipping a lot like fishing in a small pond with hand grenades.

I need to neuter Port Blair tho. Steve is flying 4E out of there and I want to bring my mini-KB up.

Singapore fell last turn to a shock attack. These units will goto Sumatra & India I think. I really need to get some oil/fuel.

I'll continue to hold off on the attack as Steve keeps massing ships in the Rangoon hex to support his invasion. This makes going after his shipping a lot like fishing in a small pond with hand grenades.

Good point. You don't even need to give him bait for this trap so why not let him jump in it on his own accord! Although after those naval battles last turn and all those torpedoes his battleships took he'd have to be crazy to stay even one day longer.

Status: offline 		Thanks obvert, Lowpe, & Sangeli for the attaboys. It was a cool turn due to Nachi but that TF was in truth a long-shot. Now that turn is already past-tense.

I'm ramping things up tho.

I'm getting ready to para-drop on Sampit next turn. I've moved a lot of air groups about and I'm getting ready for Sumatra and Burma-II.

Singapore
I’m pulling DMS from around the map and running them to Singapore. They’ll strip the mines from that base and then I’ll use them for clearing Palembang, Merak, & Oosthavan.

I’ve got a good fighter CAP around Singapore while I await supplies and air support for this base. The 5th Air Division HQ is aboard a TF in the South China Sea and en route to Singapore. I’m also sending 15 sub chasers from Tokyo to Singapore…

Sumatra
I’m reconnoitering the enemy bases on the east side of the Strait of Malacca to see what Steve has going on. It looks like he’s been investing in Sabang for a while now…

Burma
Mini-KB is about to run up the Strait of Malacca to support operations up around Rangoon. A 5BB TF is near Miri and will refuel next turn before heading up towards Rangoon also.

The two Chinese Divisions @ Singapore are prepping for rail and will head up to Chiang Mai to meet a pair of engineer units. I’m going to march those down that back-door path to Taung Gyi. I also added an Oscar air group as Steve has been pounding at that base with some of his 4E units. It’ll be nice to give them a little surprise.

I’m massing more transport and engineers @ Hanoi/Haiphong plus pulling another supply TF from Tokyo so I can feed Kunming & Tsuyung. Steve has a stack of 23 enemy LCU just outside of Tsuyung that I want to pound and route so I can push into Burma.

@ Rangoon I’m performing a Shock attack to route Steve’s troops that have landed here. Steve has forces @ Bassein, which I own but is currently empty. I’m going to try to stand at Pegu and drive Steve back from Bassein & Prome.

By next turn I will be ready to start air operations against Port Blair & Sabang. I want to take out Steve’s air support and then run a strong amphibious assault at Ramree Isle and take Steve’s legs out from behind him.

What I hope Burma will look like is:
- A push from the East
- A back-door from Thailand
- A wall @ Prome & Pegu
- A back-attack from Ramree
- All covered with air and naval superiority.

China
In China 700AV of troops arrive @ Tuyun and are unpacking. They’ll be used against Neikiang.

@ Hami I have 1500 supply and just set supply_required to zero. I have 3 LCU @ Urumchi that are low on supplies. I’m curious to see if the supplies push up the trail to the units that are 7 hexes away.

& @ Kunming I have 10012 supply and dropped supply_required from 3427 down to 1427 to see if supplies push up to Tsuyung.

Good thought on the xAKLs - I'll have a look at them. Thanks!

Singapore
I cleared a lot of mines in this hex last turn. The mine symbol is now gone. The 6 DMS will stick around another turn – just to make sure. Airfield service/runway damage is now nil while port damage is @ 44. Oscar-Ic now fly CAP as I’ve got air support for the base now.

I see 4 enemy subs and a mine field in the Strait of Malacca.
- I have the DD Numakaze running ASW patrol from NE of Singkap to Bangkalis and then to Tandjoengbalai.

Borneo
Airborne assault of Sampit, Borneo ordered today from Singkawang with the 1st Raiding Regiment.

I’m sweeping Palembang and flying airfield attacks with fighter-escorted MB groups. I also moved an air group of Nick FB to Singkawang. I’ll set them on low alt naval attack next turn and see if I can poach enemy ships in the Palembang hex.

16th AA Regiment arrived @ Samarinda

Burma
TF 5_Big_Boyz is still refueling @ Miri.

Sweeps set for Port Blair

Shock attack @ Rangoon was strong. I destroyed two of his units. Another Shock should do it – they’ve gotta be out of supplies or close to it (plus heavy disruption and hopefully a good morale loss).

I-30 assigned to patrol in the Bay of Bengal. Has a FP so I’m hoping I’ll gather some intel along with improved hunting of enemy TFs.

China
Chinese units identified near Tsuyung:
30th Chinese Corps ID’d 4.28.42
59th Chinese Corps ID’d 4.28.42
76th Chinese Corps ID’d 4.28.42
85th Chinese Corps ID’d 4.28.42

I’ve been hitting this stack for a while but with little damage noted. I’ve sent in a pair of recon air groups to see if that improves my success rate with A2G missions.

From Last Turn:
Kunming 10012 dropped supply_required from 3427 down to 1427
Now 04554 with supply_required = 1427

From what I can see, nothing went up to Tsuyung…

Hami 1500 supply and just set supply_required to zero. I have 3 LCU @ Urumchi that are low on supplies. I’m curious to see if the supplies push up the trail to the units that are 7 hexes away.
- Now Hami shows 0 supplies but the 3 LCU are supplied just above the requirements. I’ve ordered a Shock attack as I see only 1 enemy LCU now. The current AV of the three LCU = 294.

I’m using the 1st Raiding Sentai air group to transport the Yokosuka Assault SNLF from Kweiyang to Haiphong. I plan to use this unit in a drop-attack in Sumatra later.

I bought out 4 transport air groups and moved them to Nagasaki. They’ll make their way to Malaya or Haiphong soon.

Boala
I’ve bought out a FF air group in Yokohama and I’m transporting it to Boala for air support. I’m also trying to build the airfield up. I should have had air support included with the initial assault wave…

And he wanted a hole - see.


I want to close Port Blair with a Naval Bombardment. Port Blair has mines.

What is the most effective method of clearing mines or avoiding them?

- Set my Bombardment range to the extreme and don't allow escorts to play?
- Add DMS to my Bombardment TF?
- Set a mine sweeper TF up and then have my Bombardment TF follow the sweepers?

Thoughts? In the past I just added sweepers and or PB to a Bombardment TF.

Ships @ TFs
I changed 4 To’su xAKL to AMc. They’ll take about 15 days to convert.

5_Big_Boyz are going to Singapore.

Mini-KB is now in the Ardaman Sea.

Nachi TF en route for Singapore

I had a patrol boat get spanked in the Java Sea by an old allied DD. I might make it to port but I don’t really have a warm-and-fuzzy.

2PB @ Saigon enroute to Singapore and will ASW patrol that hex.

2 more enemy bases fall
Sampit is captured by my para-unit.
Urumchi in China falls to my infantry/cavalry Shock Attack.

Singapore looks clear of enemy mines and all port damage is now removed also. The 6th Shipping Engineer Regiment is on the rails from Bangkok to Singapore.

Palembang will now receive sweeps from both Singkawang & Singapore. Still lining up additional MB for attacking the airfield.

Rangoon troops set to Shock Attack the abandoned allied amphibious assault forces left on the beach (I fat-fingered and had them set to D_Atk last turn).

Some of the troops packing for the train ride to Chiang Mai should be on the rails next turn. That route from Chaing Mai to Taung Gyi looks better than the roads I’ve been marching on in northern China. Hopefully supplies for these units will be less of a problem while they are on their road-march.

I spent about 30 minutes in pilot management. Point-and-click stuff. I dislike this part of the game.

I receive the Yamato in 28 days.

I’m pushing more air support to Northern China.

I think Steve is switching to a few night attacks from me sweeping his fighters. I can either try to fly fighters @ night or suck it up and try to take out his bases… I’ve never had much success with regular fighters on night CAP. Anyone out there have recommendations? His night missions look to be coming in @ 5k. I’d set for 9k and try to bounce. I mean – you can bounce @ night – right? Does this game take into effect moonlight and stuff like that?

I’ve got AA @ Rangoon & Singapore. 5 Mitchells did a nighty @ Singapore but my flack was silent…

Status: offline 		Steve is Bombing Boela in the DEI and I've no fighter support so I'm sending TF74 from Japan to Boela with an air group of float fighters to provide CAP. I'm also expanding the airfield @ Boela - currently @ 08%

I set the I-3 to patrol from SW of Port Moresby through the Torres Strait to a point SW of Merauke. Home port is Truk.

I'm planning to add the CV Hiyo to Mini-KB. Right now I'm moving it to Nagasaki to add a BB to TF144(1CV 2CA 1CS 2DD). I added an air group of FF to the CS Mizuho to fly CAP. The Jake FP will fly ASW. I've also added DB & TB air groups to the Hiyo.

Air Ops @ Rangoon
– Night CAP
– Sweep Prome
– Day CAP
– Naval Search R10

Defend Pegu
The 9th Division & the 13th Indian Mixed Bde @ Rangoon are moving to Pegu. Forts are being built. 48th Road Construction Company @ Rangoon is also moving to Pegu

Mini-KB is near Moulmein.

Continue Sweep of Port Blair with 2 air groups of Zero. Also AF Attack with Zero escort.

Reduce range of my H6K4 as Steve's CAP @ Ramree is a pain in the buttocks.

TF114 with 16k supplies @ Kota Bharu en route for Singapore.

Transfer 36 Helen air group from Nagasaki to Takao. Moving to Singapore…
TF159 loading 38k supplies for Singapore

I'm moving 800+ AV of infantry from Tuyun to Kweiyang
221AV of infantry is packing @ Changsha for a strat-move to Tuyun

I want to own out-right all of China. Steve has graciously moved most of his troops to Burma so there are just a few bases left for me to capture and only a few units left for me to kill in this theatre.

There's another 2,860 VP in China and then I can send better than 7,000 AV of troops into Burma and up into India.

@ Urumchi:
- Set 2nd Indian Mixed Bde (202AV) & 1st Cavalry Bde (42AV) to move to Wasu - (138 miles north).
- I've set the 4th Cavalry Bde (3AV) to rest as it needs time to regroup.
- I've set Wasu as the FO for all three units
- I've increased base supply requirements from 724 to 4,724
- I'm repairing Manpower, Resources, Oil, Refineries, and Light Industry

@ Kiuchuan, Central China I ordered the 13th Independent Infantry Regiment to march for Kashgar in NE China (966 miles). I've also set Kashgar as the FO.

Steve has broken away from the allied historical values and is carpet bombing Japanese held cities for manpower. Not resources or industry but manpower... Could the spanking he took at Rangoon maybe have rattled him? Or is he trying to play mind games with me? Oh well, once Japan has taken the map it'll be fun to prosecute Steve for war crimes… <grin>

The 11th Field Artillery Regiment near Tienshui is marching for Kienko (138 miles away)

The 36th Division (478AV) is SE of Kienko and moving towards that base (46 miles away). FO = Chungking

The 37th and 41st Divisions (480 & 443 AV) are NE of Sian and moving to Kienko (276 miles away). FO=Chungking

The 4th Indian Mixed Bde & the 23rd Tank Rgt (285AV) are NE of Sian and moving to Kienko (322 miles away). FO=Chungking

The following combat units @ Kienko (1,349AV) are moving to hex 77,43:
- 24th Division (458AV)
- 9th Indian Mixed Bde (210AV)
- 3rd Indian Mixed Bde (207V)
- 2nd Indian Mixed Regiment (125AV)
- 10th Tank Regiment (80AV)
- 11th Tank Regiment (79AV)
- 3rd Tank Regiment (57AV)
- 26th Engineer Regiment (48AV)
- 28th Engineer Regiment (48AV)
- 20th Recon Regiment (37AV)
- 3rd FF Construction Unit
- 5th Army HQ
- 1st Army HQ
- ** All have FO=Neikiang

The 58th Division (332AV) @ Kweiyang is moving to hex 75,46 (138 miles). FO=Neikiang

The 60th & 70th divisions along with the 102nd Infantry Regiment and the 58th Infantry Bde (900AV) are @ Tuyun and moving to Kweiyang (92 miles)

The 1st Indian Mixed & the 4th Bde (471AV) @ Changsha are packing for a strat-move to Tuyun. FO=Chungking

The 30th JAAF AF Bn (9AV x24 Air Support) @ Chengting is moving to Sian (414 miles)

Attack enemy airfield @ Chungking (Steve is flying 4E that are bombing cities)
- The 54th and 70th Sentai (59AC) @ Kweiyang have been assigned to sweep Chungking. I plan to sweep a few times to take down fighter CAP and then I'll divert fighters to escort bombers to take down his airfield.
- I've assigned the 83rd I.F. Chutai to Recon Chungking

Send supplies by air to Kienko
- The 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th Transportation Chutai @ Wuchang are flying supply transport to Kienko.

Send supplies to Tsuyung
- The 1st Transport Chutai @ Hanoi & the 2nd, 11th, 13th, & 14th Transport Chutai plus the 2nd Raiding Sentai @ Haiphong are flying supplies up to Tsuyung.

I've got the 1st& 4th Cavalry Brigades plus the 2nd Indian Mixed Brigade @ Urumchi (which I took last turn - see below). The 303rd Brigade was routed from Urumchi on 4.28.42 in a shock attack.

The 4th Cavalry took the brunt of the damage during the shock attack. The unit shows 1AV of strength with 34 Cav Squads, 4 AT guns gun crews, and 3 motorized support units disabled. This unit will stay @ Urumchi to regroup while the 1st Cavalry and the 2nd Indian Mixed Brigade follow the Chinese 303rd Brigade in hopes of catching it on the road as it retreats to Wasu.

I'm also increasing the base supply requirement @ Urumchi from 892 to 4,892 to help suck supplies up closer to the front lines, to help in repairs on the base infrastructure (Manpower, Resources, Oil, Refinery, & Lite Industry) and to help the 4th Cavalry as it regroups.

Ground combat at Urumchi (79,11)

Japanese Shock attack

Attacking force 8695 troops, 78 guns, 100 vehicles, Assault Value = 297

Defending force 1902 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 82

Japanese adjusted assault: 452

Allied adjusted defense: 29

Japanese assault odds: 15 to 1 (fort level 1)

Japanese forces CAPTURE Urumchi !!!

Combat modifiers
Defender: terrain(+), leaders(-), experience(-)
Attacker: shock(+), leaders(+), supply(-)

Japanese ground losses:
664 casualties reported
Squads: 8 destroyed, 59 disabled
Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 6 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled

Allied ground losses:
879 casualties reported
Squads: 32 destroyed, 52 disabled
Non Combat: 14 destroyed, 7 disabled
Engineers: 7 destroyed, 0 disabled
Units retreated 1

Defeated Allied Units Retreating!

Assaulting units:
1st Cavalry Brigade
4th Cavalry Brigade
2nd Ind.Mixed Brigade

Defending units:
303rd Brigade

The 13th Independent Infantry Regiment is @ Kiuchuan and moving up to Kashgar (966 miles). Once operations are complete around Wasu I will route the 1st & 4th Cavalry Regiments plus the 2nd Indian Mixed Brigade.

Operation Back-door: The assault of Taung Gyi from the Thai road near Chiang Mai
- I've divided the 1st RTA Division into A/B/C with C Co staying @ Bangkok as a garrison unit and sending A & B companies to Chiang Mai as the kick-off location. A company has arrived and B is en route and at Uttaradit on this turn.
- The 12th division (449AV) from Singapore is on the rail to Chiang Mai and is currently east of Kuala Lumpur
- The 15th division (469AV) @ Singapore has just completed packing and will be on the rail next turn (5.2.42)

I had set the 7th Indian Tank Brigade to move to Bassein but had expected it to take the road that would have cut Bassein from resupply via Prome. Instead the 7th took a shortcut through Rangoon and across the river, which forced a shock attack. Although the unit disruption jumped up to 34 there was little damage to my tank brigade. This unit is on defense and I'm following after with the 5th and 6th Guards divisions (512 & 458AV)

I'm sending the 5th Amphibious Bde (153AV) & the 17th Independent Guards Regiment (135AV) to hex 55,51. I only see 1 enemy unit @ Prome (which might be just engineers since Steve is flying air groups from there). I'll recon the base. If intel shows light defense then I'll nail it and push him back.

I'm defending Pegu against a future push from enemy forces @ Toungoo. To that end I'm sending the 9th Division (449AV), the 13th Indian Mixed Bde (202AV), and the 48th Road Construction Company to defend Pegu and build up the base forts.

Steve has that stack of 23 next to Tsuyung. I'm moving 3 divisions from Tsuyung to hex 67,45 to cut supplies off from Paoshan.

Mini-KB moves near Moulmein.

TF144 has the CV Hiyo and is currently en route to Nagasaki to pick up a BB escort after which it will head towards Moulmein to join the Mini-KB.

Sub I-155 will patrol near Ceylon with Singapore set as his home port.

TF114 has 16k supplies and is en route for Singapore
