Once agai my carrier AC go after lone, well defended transports and suffer heavy losses. For next trun I have ordered a massive port attack against Osaka followed up by B-29s going after indutrial targets there. Hopefully the losses won't be too high.
The need to destroy Gordon's lift capacity will become apparant in a few more turns.
Looks like he is pulling out of Takao so I should take it next turn

RE: Target Formosa!
Takao fell after most of the defenders left. Now it is a foot race to Taichu.
Osaka raid found many more ships than expected in port (500+) so the raid got disapated and while many ships were damaged, few were sunk. I will be sticking around and trying again.
The good thing was that once the CAP at Osaka was eliminated the B-29s finally flew against the industry. Armamaent factories are the prime target right now.

Osaka raid found many more ships than expected in port (500+) so the raid got disapated and while many ships were damaged, few were sunk. I will be sticking around and trying again.
The good thing was that once the CAP at Osaka was eliminated the B-29s finally flew against the industry. Armamaent factories are the prime target right now.

RE: Target Formosa!
Another bloody day off the HI. Despite the heavy Jap air losses I am barely achieving a 2:1 ratio so they are a wash.
several strikes went unescorted leading to higher than required losses.
Once again lots of Jap ships are getting hit but less than 10 sank

RE: Target Formosa!
Best day so far in the HI raid. Over 900 Jap Ac were destroyed for less than 100 of mine. Several ships were subk and Pescadores was captured albeit with the loss of a CL.
Bad weather will reduce the carnage for next turn. The CVs will be withdrawing to meet up with an invasion fleet headed for the HI.

Yamato and Kongo sunk!
I sank the Yamato and the Kongo but at a loss of 345 AC for the turn. I only took out 250 Jap AC so the destruction of the BBs was offset by this. They had LRCAP over them and the fighters chewed up my strike AC.
There will be a landing in the HI (the small island with 2 bases) next turn. This was the reason that the Jap lift capacity had to be destoyed to keep reinforcement from being brought into the battle.

Blood bath at Matsuyama
Had a bit of terrible luck. Two Jap BBs managed an open sea intercept of my invasion fleet and sank the Essex and mortally wounded the Cowpens. The invasion fleet also got mauled and arrived a day late.
Total air losses were 940 on my part for only 532 Jap. Many of my strikes were ambushed by strong CAP. [X(]
CVs are now headed for home since they are low on AC, fuel, and ammo.
So much for the war being over by Christmas.[:(]
I will be going for a "Burn the boats" move at Matsuyama by mining my troops in for their own good. Victory or death.!

Total air losses were 940 on my part for only 532 Jap. Many of my strikes were ambushed by strong CAP. [X(]
CVs are now headed for home since they are low on AC, fuel, and ammo.
So much for the war being over by Christmas.[:(]
I will be going for a "Burn the boats" move at Matsuyama by mining my troops in for their own good. Victory or death.!

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
This is rapidly turning into "A base too far". I took Matsuyama bt I don't know if I can hold it for long. I have about 2000 AV ashore with supplies but I won't be able to reinforce them for about a week. I am hoping that there are not too many LCUs from non restricted commands in the HI.
Looks like I will lose 3-4 CVEs before making it home. CAP is very thin.

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
Just depends on how quickly you can get dug in - he'll probably try to hit you with as much as air he can scrape together - I know you're hurting right now (at least in that particular geographic area). Anything within LR-CAP range that could help out until the carriers are back up to snuff?
Never Underestimate the Power of a Small Tactical Nuclear Weapon...
RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
My CVs can be back in less than a week if they travel at full speed. I have several AA units on the ground and sufficient supplies so I am not too worried about air attack. I am far more worried about naval bombardment and invasion. I am trying to mine the place in with B-29s but so far they are refusing to fly despite the clear weather.

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
As expected Matsuyama got pounded by sea and air. Reflief force is on the way.
Desperate times call for desperate action so next turn will have a few bold moves. I have to do what I can to support the beachhead in the HI.
One more of the damaged CVEs sunk but it looks like the other 2 will make port.
Once again the B-29s refused to fly. I have changed their mission back to industrail attack in hopes of getting some kind of production out of them

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
Here comes the kitchen sink - it is going to be bloody, but you may just break his back on this one.

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
Yet another great plan goes south. Looks like I will have to go and rescue the Paras again.
PT boats are being ferried into Matsuyama and will be conducting raids this turn. More of an annoyance than anything else but I hope to distract Gordon away from the base for a bit.
CVs are moving in to assist. After the last replenishment I am out of Wildcats and Hellcats. This is why I need to take Amani so that I can have the Army fighters start bearing more of the load.
I have spotted over 3K AC at Hiroshima so I am going to try a night bomber raid. With that many AC I should hit something
Finally got the B-29s to fly by sending them all against the same target.

PT boats are being ferried into Matsuyama and will be conducting raids this turn. More of an annoyance than anything else but I hope to distract Gordon away from the base for a bit.
CVs are moving in to assist. After the last replenishment I am out of Wildcats and Hellcats. This is why I need to take Amani so that I can have the Army fighters start bearing more of the load.
I have spotted over 3K AC at Hiroshima so I am going to try a night bomber raid. With that many AC I should hit something
Finally got the B-29s to fly by sending them all against the same target.

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
PT boats claimed a few ships and CVs drew out some bombers but that was all that went right. Taichu attack stalled, BBs have been sent to help. This could be a long war.
I am trying to mine Hiroshima again. I have set all the B-29s to this mission in hopes that peer pressure will get them to fly. This is where the Jap BBs are coming from.
I mined Matsuyama with subs (500 mines) so I might catch one by surprize when they next come calling.

I am trying to mine Hiroshima again. I have set all the B-29s to this mission in hopes that peer pressure will get them to fly. This is where the Jap BBs are coming from.
I mined Matsuyama with subs (500 mines) so I might catch one by surprize when they next come calling.

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
Quiet turn due to bad weather.
I had originally planned on landing at Amani last turn but decided to go with a fient in case Gordon tried a surface raid or a fighter sweep. I forgot to cancel the ground attack however. Oops.
Real landing will be this turn.
Air dropped mines are not stopping the bombardments but sub laid mines are scoring some hits

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
A very bloody day. I took Amani by my CV air groups fell for the LRCAP trap yet again and went after single ships covered by masses of Franks. Even when I out number then I lose at a 2:1 rate. I lost 900 AC for 500 Jap. I am so looking forward to turning the air war back over to the Army.

RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
Good news is that Aparri's AF is now open and the place is a hornet's nest of fighters. Also it looks like Taichu will fall soon.
Bad news is that I will lose 3 CAs because they headed for home against orders and had no air cover.
