Wow they've lost a ton of tanks too. Are you able to fly in troops or does his CAP devastate your transport planes to much?

<t> Have you been able to rebuild the forts on Amami? Looks like his ground attacks have ceised.<br/>
<br/>
Honestly, if i was placing a bet i'd put it on you. Sheer outright losses seem to be less of a factor now, Andy just has to much he has to carve through for any real victory. To many ...

he got that victory in 1944 though [:D]

and yes the game ends march.1 1946

I'd say keep them there, but if you've already moved 48 might as well move the rest.

How's your ac production coming? have your pools increased and stuff?

<r> PzB I offer you inspiration and hope - read this....<br/>

It's gotta be Nagasaki if he hits Kyushu, it just has to be. I'd also make sure to position CD units there

<t> I would like to see a new "Losses" screen, a show of how much each side has lost on the ground, men (detailed in KIA, MIA and WIA) guns lost and vehicles lost, is this being included?...this may be asking to much, but a detailed and more broken down list would be very cool, where it shows your ...

<t> Well good luck PzB! I have high confidence in your success of the upcoming battle, and I really think you will succeed. Are you moving in troops from China and such? I still think you might as well just move everything into the HI.<br/>
<br/>
I'm reading the rest of this AAR so that'll be ...

Shikoku is an isolated island, 2 ports right there on jap soil..isnt that the point? that would be a good reason to hit it. But yea now that I think about it he probably will go directly for Kyushu, a massive showdown, and in his mind a massive blow.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>efore I would have invaded I would have made sure that factories and convoys<br/>
were bombed to pieces and secured Bonins/Okinawas as staging areas for bombers and ships. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Unless he just has one massive strike force and captures and holds a mainland ...

<t> I also think he'll invade Shikoku...immediatly...he is a bypasser and he doesn't need to invade Okinawa, by now he'll simply have to many transport ships to mass that he just won't have to invade Okinawa, it would only be a waste of time really, and obviously he's just been spending weeks and ...

That's intense, wonder how long it took.

.

Those BB's sure will be handy when he lands on Japan.

The fortress will never be taken...

well in that case...BANZAI!!...I didn't realize you had a good resource pool, didn't think you really could in this late stage of the game, good job

doesnt seem like your spirits are broken..and they shouldnt be! banzai!!

<t> I think this is all a complete waste (when it doesn't have to be) and it truly isn't gonna get you anywhere regardless of anything, the cost to you will always outweigh the cost to him at least 10x and you really can't afford that at all. Personally i would just save everything, mass up fighters ...

honestly i dont think mark has the balls to do something like land on the west coast, i wouldnt worry about it

Maybe lure Honda into an even carrier clash then. I doubt anyone would possibly chase you near Midway, gee I wonder what you're up to in that situation. It's just to obvious, your position is to good and you won't provoke a battle that way.

well as usual, everything will depend on the next carrier clash

<t> I wouldn't get to cocky Raver, that's still gonna be a really hard fight...what if you do reclaim OZ but there were no major battles for you to have won? that's as good as nothing isn't it? Australia can be used by Honda to gain time, he can just use it that way, it isn't much of a loss at all ...
