That's helpful thanks. Looks like my armamanets are more than enough to cover future units and current replacement needs. I will though have to factor in the potential for increased losses in the years ahead.

It's February 1944 and the battle of Ceylon hangs in the balance. I have counterinvaded and am trying to push the Allies out before they reinforce.

Meanwhile, this is a pretty unique game so I have a question:

I have 400k armaments and 450k HI. I am in no danger of running out if supply (I have 8 ...

Allied Invasion of Ceylon

Jansako saw that I was maintianing a minimal garrison in Ceylon and he sent an armada of ~300 ships to land a large invasion froce there. I saw him coming of course, and positioned LBA to counter. My air strikes inflicted significant damage, but he was able to land a ...

Thanks hpalmer, I don't have the time to post too frequently unfortunately but can give periodic updates.

Cargo ships - Are they turly limitless for the Allies?

With over 2,000 ships of the xAK type (and variants such as xAKL, AK, AKA, etc.) comming into service during the war, one would think that the Allies would effectively never be short of them. That is not entirely true however. In this ...

Aircraft R&D Program

A key factor behind the very successful campaign is a well organized aircraft research program. Here are some of the program's key milestones:

N1K1-J George - January 43 (excellent all around workhorse for the IJN)
D4Y4 Judy - February 43 (800kg a deadly threat to enemy ...

The War Continues - January 1944

This is a first - Japan has fully secured all of India and all of Australia. This however marks the full extent of the Japanese conquest and from now on it's all about keeping the Allies back as 1944 rolls on.

The Overall Score

The allied LCU losses in particular have been horrific. Now Japan's LCU losses will start to skyrocket however as the Allies start taking out Japanese forces in their advance.

Is NZ next? CONUS?

Nope, the Japanese expansion is pretty much over. The Allied war machine is kicking into high gear now and I will be transitioning to the strategic defensive.

Here is the overall score


And the overall map

Fast forward to May 13, 1943

I've stopped updating for a while, but the war continued. The key highlights over the last few months are as follows:

Crossing the line in Australia

Having conquered India, I shifted some forces to Australia and crossed the emergency reinforcements line. Japanese ...

Sure. I can't fit it in one screenshot though:

February 16, 1943

In the Gulf of Alaska I went in for a full bombardment on Kodiak.

My task forces streamed in to bombard, but either he has an extremely dense minefield there, I got unlucky, or there is a strait there or something because I got wrecked with mines - losing half a dozen DDs ...

February 14th, 1943

That's a wrap on India:

The Gulf of Alaska is seeing some intense action as both Jansako and I strive to dominate the area.

Alaska is mostly under Japanese control, but Kodial is Allied territory and Jansako is using it to block the flow of supplies to Alaska. KB escorted in a resupply convoy and beat off a number of air ...

Great story telling! Thank you for sharing.

Now, sorry if this sounds silly, but what's the meaning of "(with stacking limits)"? Aren't limits already part of the vanilla game?

Also, are you playing this scenarion with 1.8.11.28 version or something earlier?


As BB notes, stacking limits is ...

The game keeps chugging along, now in February 1st 1943. A few interesting flashpoints:

1) Delhi, the last beseiged Allied garrison in India, seems ripe for the taking. I bombarded this turn and barely had any losses. Looks like the garrison is running low on supply - that's another 2k AV to ...

So, your Ha-32/33 numbers look quite reasonable. In fact, only your Ha-35 number surprises me, I've never gone above 450. So, you're obviously building a ton of Oscar in the early war. I get it: numbers matter is the air war ... even a mediocre plane like the Oscar, if pilot exp is roughly ...
