RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
Palembang and Batavia both fall so its going downhill fast in the DEI - i AM TRYING TO MAKE A STAND AT mANDALAY BUT HAVE LITTLE HOPE
RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
The AI has cut Java in half not with strong forces but the threat from Merak towards Batavia is keepingmost of the Ductch forces there - I am going to detach a Cav Regt to try and styall the Japanese advance in the centre
A light surface TF is going to try and cut the landing force in half.
6th Aus Div has finally arrived at Perth and is unloading - I will ship it by rail to Sydney where it will move to reinforce the coast.
So far I havent lost anything critical
PM is annoying, Canton is a major PITA but the rest is ok

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
I will post the other 2 days CR when I get them but this is indicative of the state of game
Japanese surface groups are roaming around Northern Java and the ABDA fleet managed to slip throught them to nail a convoy.
But it was only one of many....
De Ruyter got caught in the open by Betties and paid the price
I love Vildebeestes !!!

As Bataan has fallen the AI is really in mop up mode now.
Its secured the line Wake - Gilberts - Solomons - PM with an outlier at Canton
PI is beiong mopped up
Malaya conquered
Sumatra being mopped up
Java a little fight left but they are ashore in force
Only in Burma is the fight in doubt - I have 1200 AV at Mandalay digging in for all they are worth
The AI is now running around mopping up bases it bypassed
So far so good only thing is no sign of KB - Lexington may have gotten a bigger piece of em than I realised
Anyway good night guys I will try to do more tomorrow

Ground combat.
No, none of that restricted command withdrawals or fragment rebuilding.... but
Are land units still crucial to save? for example you committed 18th div to malaya but lose it. Will it rebuild? Should you rush in and save any fragment you can for a rest and rebuild? Should you just be conservative and save them? Should you have attempted to fly or withdraw via fast DD any brigades from PM?
2nd, Factors in getting the combat strength down (of opponent)
Still by reducing supply, ground bombardment missions from LB, fatigue, morale are all still applicable? anything else.
Thanks, great AR and WOW the AI is amazing and puts up a good advance.

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
The Harbour attack with Betties is now 2x250kg SAP and 60kg's apparently. Those 250kg SAP are in a specific slot for that to happen? And what happens with other bombers?
RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
Andy, you and the AE team have done wonders for the AI, Thanks!

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
Got to love how CL Boise has survived countless torpedo attacks by Betties! CL Tromp finally did run out of luck, but did quite well too.
AI is giving quite good beating to Andy, hopefully his Mandalay roadblock holds. It's just on wrong side of the river...defensively.

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
LCU's are still vital but with so many different pools of devices it really is a lot harder to rebuild
I cannot afford to use all my British Squads to rebuild 18th Div - 2nd Div, various Indian Divs and 36th Div all use Brit Squads if I use all my reserves I will have a very fragile force
It is a trade off - max AV or sustainable AV a constant balancing act especially for the CW - do I rebuild 8th Aus Div - yes I can if I do whats the consequence - well 300 less replacement Aus Inf Squads and they are a tight pool.
Great care is required otherwise you will find yourself cannibalising units
Because squad devices in the pool and in units upgrade to the latest type and because devices have stop dates you dont get massses of say Aus 42 squads in the pool that can be used to fill out that old formation.
Every squad is vital
In fact I suspect you will be rescuing fragments to send them to the rear area base to disband to the pool
e.g. I rescue 50 Squads of 18th Brit Div - choices
1. Use that Bn sized Div to help out Java
2. Evac to India and rebuild
3. Use it as a rear area garrison with replacements off
4. Send it to Delhi and disband it to the pool at no VP cost to give me 50 British Infantry Squads for another unit.
I strongly suspect in AE most players would do 3. until its clear India is safe then 4. you will need those squads.
Rescuing fragments to rebuild the unit is less of an issue - rescuing fragments to get the additonal squads for your limited pools - vital

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
The AI is better at getting AV down than we are
In stock 0:1 attacks were crazy - the AI persists int hem as long as its doing more damage than it takes and it attrits allied early war AV's a lot
A 1:3 attack result that causes each side 3k casualties is not always a bad result for the attacker as it reduces the infantry of the defender significantly and the attacker typically has more to spare.
e.g. Attacker has 1,500 AV defender has 500 AV but level 4 forts
Both sides lose 200 AV on a 1:3 attack Attacker now has 1200 v 300 so odds increase - AI is pretty ruthless about these calculations where most of us would balk.

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
I am playing slightly careless and passive AI is doing ok but in the interests of speed i am not counterpunching everywhere I can but its doing ok Bataan suprised me and the speed of advance on Java shocked me

Hmmm KB reappears I dont like that the convoy with 7th Aus Div is off of Java just now time for emergancyt rethink ...
