Nomonhan Redux: Seydlitz (Japan) vs. MBatch729 (Allies)

[aztez]

Oh, I thought you guys already had the first air combat encounters.

The next turn ought to be quite "bloody". Looking forward to see what kind of carnage took place!

[seydlitz_slith]

Well, the turn wasn't as bloody as expected. Storms grounded most of the Soviet planes and I was able to pound Voroshilov AF again without opposition. Here are the losses for the turn:

[seydlitz_slith]

Yes, Soviet planes did fly in at least one part of the map...Petropavlovsk. They pounded my hapless AKs as they ran for their lives.

[seydlitz_slith]

Here is a summary of my shipping losses for the turn.

[seydlitz_slith]

Things are under control at Okha, but the odds are about 1 to 1 so I need to pound on the ground units with the KB for another turn.

In Petro, my troops should be able to hold on, but they need to pin a medal on the Soviet commander there. He has been the only one firmly in charge on the whole front.

[seydlitz_slith]

Looking at the land situation, here is a summary of my troops moving up to attack and what I expect them to face.

[seydlitz_slith]

Here is what Voroshilov AF looks like to me after two turns of pounding.

[seydlitz_slith]

And here is Vladivostok...this turn's target.

[seydlitz_slith]

This is also where the Soviet Navy is based. I am waiting on all those subs to sail.
This turn, about half of my strikes will go against the port.

[seydlitz_slith]

Here is the situation in North China.

[seydlitz_slith]

Here is South China.

ORIGINAL: seydlitz

Am I wrong or ships hit by CD at Petropavlovsk are reported as sinking near Truk? [&:]
I understand FoW, but this seems a bit too much

[seydlitz_slith]

Here is Luzon. No maps of Mindanao, Borneo, or Malaya this turn as it should be fairly quiet in all three.

[seydlitz_slith]

Now for some economics screens since some have asked about unit arrivals.

First is air uint arrivals.

[seydlitz_slith]

Next ground unit arrivals.

[seydlitz_slith]

And page 2 of the ground unit arrivals. As you can see, no ready to go large AV units for Japan in the next two months.

[seydlitz_slith]

Near term ship arrivals. Note that we are playing with reinforcements fixed with no random variation in arrival days.

[seydlitz_slith]

Now, the important stuff that everyone cares about...the carriers and battleships. Note that I halted Shinano and accelerated Musashi like a good JFB.

[seydlitz_slith]

I have also accelerated some destroyers.

[seydlitz_slith]

To generate the points needed to accelerate the Musashi and DDs, in addition to halting the Shinano, you need to halt all the subs that are using points:
