<t> There's an incredible array of very intelligent people on this forum,from all corners of the earth who have insights into geo politics and warfare that are far, far above the average. I'm optimistic that this is a topic that generates debate on this forum that will be intelligent and "political ...

There was a lot of posts about this in a regular WITP thread a few years ago. I think the conclusion was that luck and the presence of non-disrupted engineers made some difference. It was suggested (see below) that an intact capture had about a 33% probability, a catastrophe about ...

Would it be easier/ less risky to re-supply Manila through Naga- Legaspi and suck the supplies in by rail?

Interesting. He seemed quite Churchillian from what I read, but underneath it all......

Mushashi on her maiden cruise off Singapore, one TT from a SS, magazine explosion, glug glug glug.......

On the positive side rader has so many troops there that you can clean out the SRA and Cen PAC with a couple of MLs and a girl scout troop

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Oh....well...so we've lost our paras for nothing....

I doubt it. In an attack on Sydney I saw better results when I used paras (albeit in much smaller numbers than you have.) The problem is that with two days turns, you need to drop them all ...

Do you have house rules against dropping paras (in force of course) in a non base hex?
I thought (maybe only way back when...) that moving from enemy occupied hex to enemy occupied hex was not possible. Or am I just remembering Avalon Hill ?[&:]

<t> If you fly in paras the combat replay will read like it's a shock attack but your other troops will be on the right setting (deliberate)The paras will take it on the chin, but you won't wreck the other formations shock attacking against high forts.<br/>

I've been able to load supply only ...

<t> There's a lot that's accurate in what Nemo says. I can't argue that black is white in terms of his operational mistakes. But I think we overlook three things too quickly:<br/>

Most of our forum thought Rader made a mistake by abandoning India too early. I'm guessing he already felt way ...

<t> much as I applaud GJ for an excellent AAR and a tremendous and audacious move, he is about the only person in the forum who seems to have anything good to say about Rader.<br/>
<br/>
Now Rader may not be prolific on the AAR front, but he is a good half of the equation in this great conflict ...

<r> You're doing a great job GJ. Just the advice you're getting alone is enough to make a head spin. But it doesn't stop me from adding to it [:)]<br/>
<br/>
Diego Garcia is a really crucial base. Losing that base alone might be enough to get Rader to fall back from India, at least the western ...

well done!!

<t> Have you thought about the orders you'll be giving the CV TFs? In some respects it's riskier to use CV's in an amphib support role than against his shipping. <br/>

When you're up against other CVs mid-ocean you pretty much know it's mutually assured destruction- to some level or another ...
