Andy Mac v PZB ....The Allies Fight Back

[Andy Mac]

More data on the plan I will of course be feinting against the obvious candidates Anamanai and the Island in the south.

As soon as my forces are ashore I will sent a fleet to pull 24th US Corps off of Iwo Jima and back to Army Reserve

[Andy Mac]

p.s. an interesting little factoid
 
My monthly supply consumption in the PI assuming no combat and no building and no air raids is just under 500,000 supply......
 
I have about 1.8m supply in the PI at present with about 400,000 due next month and 500,000 due the month after that assuming convoys get through.
 
I then have a 2 month gap as my AK's were held up (and I wasnt paying attention)
 
So although I have enough supplies it is not exactly flush.
 
Accordingly I am probably going to withdraw almost all B29's out to PI until I need them as they use to many supplies
 
I will recalculate my usage after they have been pulled out

[Andy Mac]

In 44 45 its all about
 
1. Forts
2. Mines
3. Supply Supply and more supply.
 
If KB were still intact to raid my supply lines I would be in major trouble just now - PZB should be throwing everythign he has into the Marianas and Bonins to cut my supply chain I dont think he realises how tenuos it is

[Andy Mac]

As a last hurrah before the 29's pull out I decide to hit all PZB's AF's in the area.

A new thought has occured to me I dont want to commit to many troops to an untakeable objective so a small variation to the plan is being considered.

What I land 1 Amphib Corps from each army in a line to include Kitkyushi

It extends my amphib operations by a further 60 miles but gives me another choice if PZB has large garrison forces it doubles my chances of going in against small forces.

So phase 1 is 1, 3 and 5 Amphib Corps landing over 180 miles of Japanese coastline after I see what awaits me in detail the remaining 8 Corps go in against the weakest of the three objectives to achieve best results....

[Andy Mac]

Supply usage in the PI went from 500k per month to 150k per month after I moved all the 29's out........

Pearl now needs 300k per month ;P I think the 29's are headed back stateside until I need em....

Apart from that the LR interdiction programmme is workign my TF's stay at long range and a lot of japanese raids come in piecemeal I may as well kill em now rather than wait for when I have assault Corps ashore !!!!

Anzio looks like she is in trouble.

[Andy Mac]

I have decided on the three landing attack accordingly I am going to switch forces around to give more weight to the initial landings
 
Each Amphib Corps will recieve an extra Inf Div to add to the spearhead and I will stagger it so that the day one landings are on Red and Green beaches hopefully PZB will pull reinforcements out of Blue to aid Red so the Blue landings will go in two days late.
 
10th Army will retain responsability for Red Beach, 6th Army will take Green Beach and 8th Army Blue Beach I will need to reorganise forces accordingly and will post my new force allocations after I work them out.
 
1st Army will remain as the OMG in reserve until I determine where the main blow will land
 
I have assault landing for about 18 Divs so isolating a single base is very important or else the losses I am about to take are going to be even more painfull.
 
In outline
 
D Day -
1 Reinforced Corps assault on Red
1 Reinforced Corps Assault on Green
 
D Day + 2
1 Corps of 8th Army Corps land on Blue
 
D Day + 4 Follow on forces exploit weakest target. (Corps will prep for a mix of objectives to allow some units to be prepped for each one.
 
The initial wave will consist of 12 Divs assault loaded so the immediate reserve will be 6 Divisions the remainign 15 Divisions will wait on the North coast of Luzon or be loaded on non assault AP's
 
This time its win or bust

[JeffroK]

Andy,
 
Are you getting enough recce of your targets??
 
A couple of B-29 Sqns could provide some coverage or provide some false leads as to where you intend to land. (Maybe split 1 sqn into 3 flights)
 
Spend some of your time before your LCU's are ready in planting false leads for your opponent.

[Andy Mac]

I have pretty good intel of all the HI bases I have a lot of recon in the PI
 
In India I landed and took the base on the mainland south of Madras
 
This is a diversion op pure and simple I am never going to be able to take the allied entry points as PZB has to many forces behind lvl 9 forts impossible to take even if I wanted to.

[Andy Mac]

Another day passes just waiting on the next series of supply TF's to arrive before I move again.
 
A few days more and I will go and hit the HI.
 
I am also planning another deeper invasion in India but that will take a while to get ready

[Andy Mac]

The problem I face in India is that I only have about 2,700 AV in total and even if I could get the whole force to either Bombay or Karachi undetected (a big ask) and unloaded intact (impossible) then all I can take is about 150 AV and PZB aint daft so Bombay and Karachi and actually any city hex is invulnerable to me.
 
Its crap but city hexes with lvl 9 forts are just to tough (or forts are to easy to build)
 
Andy

[Andy Mac]

I would love to reopen and get my British and Indian reinforcements thank god we are changing this in AE - they will now arrive in Aden if British  

[Andy Mac]

Not a lot to say I have thought long and hard about my India strategy and on balance I need to accept that a deep strike is not possible lvl 9 forts make it impossible.

I am going to take what I can va the grinding type of advance so Madras next then i will see where I can go next.

[duckenf]

What's the current VP count?  Do you think you could post a map of your lines in India -- likewise, what are the chances of being able to conduct a 4E bombing campaign against his lvl 9 forts in India?  They might be harder rto reinforce with aircraft, so at some point you'd have the ability to operate with fewer escorts.

[Andy Mac]

There you go

[Andy Mac]

This is the keeping it simple plan.......

[sjohnson]

Andy - first time poster in your AAR.  It is one of about 3-4 that I have time to follow and have enjoyed seeing all the strategies, dilemnas, etc. so painfully learned.
 
I am curious though on the VP totals you posted - why do the aircraft air to air numbers go so far negative?  Can you tell, if, how, this effects the VP totals listed at the bottom left?

[Andy Mac]

Its a display error only nothing more the total is correct
