be aware that hitting Southern Australia also triggers significant allied reinforcements from memory at least an accelerated 9th Aus Div and probably 1 British Div not unstoppable but not insignificant either.
I think a SA Ard Regt and a Canadian Tank Bde also become available

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
Hi Alfred,
Your summary of my objectives are spot on but I need to add one more. Testing out parts of the game (this is a test game after all - lol).
Right now I'm enjoying the way the night bombing missions seem to be "ramping up" instead of either on/off based on a switch. I could be wrong but it looks like training and rest are pretty important features to air groups. I've seen fighter groups that miss escort missions because they can't find the bomber group. Now if I had some kind of an if/then switch to tell my bombers - hey - if no escort then abort mission, things would be sooooooo much better - lol.
Loading ships is a major pain. Transporting troops by rail is sweet.
The rules of air warefare seem to have changed (and perhaps for from a realistic view for the better) here in AE then from WiTP. Sweep-Sweep-bomb/w escorts seems to be the rule.
I believe that for Japan it's always best to have planes fly in their best altitude bands - especially if they have decent pilots. I've watched Nemo running CAP @ 30k and they seem to have little/no effect on my sweeps coming in at/under 14k. Even the escorts seem to protect the bombers better then if they are within their optimum ranges. Also, it is my studied opinion that one should always bring more zeroes to a sweep mission then there are allied CAP. [:D]
Operational losses seem larger then real-life.
Don't fly fighters at extreem range unless you have to. They don't have much time to perform their mission and there seems to be a greater chance for equipment failure.
I'm beginning to hate FoW. I had the Boise sunk @ Davao, again near the northeren tip of the PI, and it was spotted last turn near Laoag... Sucx!
Consider Russia to still be an option too. Shorter supply lines to protect against the allies and backed up in a corner - it makes it hard for the allies to take away captured resorces. If I leave my Kwantang LCU under the current command while in China I should be able to "Rail" them back to Russia and they would just "slot right in" to the primarily infantry arm left to defend against Russia.
In truth this is a little gamey - pulling out all of the light/AV and armor LCU plus air components from the Russain defenders. But it is considered legit in this game; I won't pass up on tactics that my opponent will surely use.
For Oz to work I think I really need a strong sub warfare program (which should work well and have a greater life expectancy on the sub pieces if I can work them in deep waters) to agress his shipping. And lotsa long-range naval search. In an Oz campaign I think the weakest leg for the allies would be shipping supplies/fuel/resources into Oz.
I need to be off to work - ttfn for now.

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
Hey - does anyone have a feel for how tough the coastal guns and mines are @ Singapore? It looks like Fionn has moved most of his LCU to Jahore Bahru in case I try to land there.
If I do an aphibious assault @ Singapore I'd gain equivilant to a river crossing bonus if he flings those units back into Singapore while I'm there - right? So... How bad would I get shot up?
I was thinking I'd:
- Bombard with 4BB & 6 CA
- Port Attack with about 100 LB
- Sweep\Airfield\Port attack with KB
And have my Amphib TF slip in for the assault.
Has anyone tried this B4 with success?

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
Well, it might be possible, but in a large part because of the CD gun routines breaking down in the case of very large landings (Just take a look at the huge thread over in the main forum), it would be rather gamey to do so though. Count yourself lucky that he's defending in Johore, you get a chance to maul his forces before you have to make the river crossing.
The AE-Wiki, help fill it out

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
A pair of missed opportunities... I saw him coming around the bend by Legaspi last turn although intel showed 5 DD instead of the 3. I was going to try to have the Nagara et all run the TF down but routing was forcing my around the allied Catanduanes Base so I just sat at Naga.

The Battle forced one of my Amphib TF to run but there were only a few supplies left in cargo so I'm not gunna sweat it.
The other Amphib TF fully unloaded this turn but did not move - I'm guessing it used up all of its op-points.
But it should take off next turn.
The Nagara TF expended allmost all of its torpedoes against those three DD but once they replenish @ Takao they should be good to escort the next couple of Amphib TFs I have loading @ Pescadores. What bothered me about the torpedo attacks is that they launched about half of them @ 11,000 yards. The TF Commander - Naio, Toshio has a 69 naval rating and 59 aggression - and the Reaction level is set to 6....
On the Map I see a TF of 7 DDs @ Burias headed south - probably another SC TF... I'm trying to vector in a SC TF of my own to come up behind him with a pair of BB... I was reading in CuttleFish's AAR that he's patrolling Manila - lol. I think I want to try that in spades <grin>.
Here's the 2nd missed opportunity. What bums me out is over 200 DB/TB (about 100 each attack) and no hits on the DDs. I've read about this in other AARs but I was hoping it might be fixed in patch 3. I guess not...

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
Turn 12/18/41
PI
Vigan & Tuguegarao fell last turn. I saw a TF near Bataan with 1BC 3DD and sent TF5(2BB 2CA 1CL 6DD) their but he'd pulled his TF by then. He has 1 or 2 TFs @ Atimonan. I'm running TF271(Amphibious) with a ENG unit with Air Support escorted by TF8(2CA 1CL 3DD). Legaspi fell last turn. As soon as I've can get an ENG unit there I've got the bridge I need to move air units back and forth to Kwajalein. I'm still running lotsa sweeps and night bombing runs out of Formosa to Manila and now have a FG @ Aparri.
Pacific
I'm moving supplies up plus AAA and support troops - ENG + smaller INF units to build up airfields and forts. The picket line is set with subs & recon aircraft. If I can get those figters and Nells out there I'll feel better.
Malaya
TF272 arrived @ Kuantan and troops unloaded. They'll perform a deliberate attack. So far Fionn has not put up a fight in the PI or Malaya - doing a Sir Robin. I keep waiting for a hammer to fall. Troops move slow when in combat mode - very slow.
China
The Hi/Lo attacks are now in play - troops just need to bust a move and march those last few hexes. Lotsa Arty up top from the Kwantang troops. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works.

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
Well, the game turn is 12/20/41 and I’m waiting on a turn from Fionn. I’m taking the time to really study the board and troops as I need to deploy them in a different fashion then intended by the design team <grin>.
Notes on Night Time Bombing:
I’ve spent the last 6 days with the majority of my LB performing night missions. The results are, I guess, what should be expected. My LB fly to their targets pretty much unmolested but the accuracy and amount of damaged done in the evening raids looks to be less than half of what I was accomplishing during daylight raids. I was kind of expecting that there would be a different skill set for night time raiding then daylight used by the pilots but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Also, although I’ve only tested for a short time frame, it looks like morale stays up or increases during night time raids. And there’s definitely less of a drain on pilots and air losses. I was hoping that there would be a night time skill set for the pilots that would improve accuracy/damage over the targets but I guess there’s nothing. Some of the planes will get radar later in the game. I wonder if there are any devices in later models of Japanese aircraft that will improve accuracy/damage when engaging ground/airbase/port targets?
I think that later on in the game the night time raids will be useful to me when Fionn has his advantage in fighters but for now I’ve got the advantage, so I’d best use it. Daylight raids will resume.
Game Progression:
I seem to be making good strides in the PI, Borneo, and Malaya. China is still not ready to start off yet but I should get operations going there soon. I’m in the process of taking Kuching and and with Kuantan already in my possession I’ve got the footings I need for air superiority in that neck of the woods. I want the advantage in the air as I plan to make a strong push to Palembang shortly. Another advantage of those two bases - it frees up my KB for other activities <grin> I’d also noted before that with Legaspi in my hands I now have the bridge I need to fly aircraft to the Marshall Isles.
I’ve moved KB into the Java sea and they’ve put a nice dent into a lot of his merchie units in the area. I think Fionn was trying to pull oil/resources out of Singapore and Palembang while I’d sent KB off to pounce shipping from the PI and to refuel/resupply @ Cam Ranh Bay a few turns back. I seem to have caught his merchies before they could slip away from Singapore/Palembang. My plan is to split KB later in the game to really do some raiding on Fionn’s shipping but for now it makes a very effective hammer to keep them together. I don’t think he has anything this early in the war that can really prevent KB from aggressing whatever I want due to the inferior aircraft he has available and the low skills of his pilots. Hammer’s aren’t meant to parry or thrust – they are meant to bash things. In any event, I’m having fun right now and am enjoying the sparks – lol.
I think Fionn is trying to work his head games with me. He’s noted in email that he considers it a success that his Force Z got away in Manila… pfttttttt – like that’s a victory. In truth, I thought I had Z a turn back but it turned out to be a few DD. I sortied a Heavy TF with a pair of BB and CA, a second TF with 4 CA, and a third TF with several DD into the area where I expected him to be but all I engaged were the 3 DDs. So I guess maybe it is a victory in a way. Oh well – hopefully I’ll see Z out in the Pacific later on. Of course, knowing Fionn, he probably still has them nearby in the PI and is just *saying* that they have actually left the area around Manila – lol.
He’s a bright guy tho – and very pleasant to converse with via email. I know he really seems to be enjoying the experience of watching the “movies”, the feel of the FoW, and I think he likes the changes to the air combat system. I must say I’m in the same boat with him on those improvements. I was kind of expecting him to be a dick after our last aborted attempt at an EA game but I’m finding that not to be the case. He’s very pleasant and witty, with a good sense of humor. I wish I knew what he was doing tho – so far he has not been as aggressive with the allied forces as I was expecting.
I’m sure he’s got something planned tho – it’s not like him to pull back like this – or at least from what I’ve read in previous AARs of his. I’ve gone back and read most of them. He really seems to be of the mindset that the best defense is a good offense. In EA tho, both the Allies and Japan had more assets on the table – both sides could really start out in an aggressive manner and that’s not the case here. Oh well, time will tell.
My two current head games are the Pacific and this bloody economy/production model.
In regards to the Pacific, I’m really working to get a better force deployment out there. I have this vision of Yankee carriers and TFs of battleships leveling my bases – not a pretty picture from my side of the table. Bettys and Zeroes should help. Additional supplies and a few air units have arrived so I'm bumpingup my airfields and ports. AAA units should hit the scene (complements of a secure border with Russia as long as I keep my garrison above 8k) shortly. Even a pair of CDs are coming out. It looks like they kinda suck right now but my thoughts are that within a patch or two the AE team will have addresed any problems with CDs.
For Production, I’ve ramped up a few aircraft and engine factories and have put most of the Kwantang forces to bed (meaning rest/training plus replacements off). I’m building up ports or airfields in areas I consider important and am moving resources to the home isles but I still don’t have a real feeling for what I’m doing with my management of resources and oil. I’m hitting the manual tho and reading some of the discussions. There’s a lot to learn in regards to keeping the wheels turning on the Japanese war machine – lol.
If there are any production/economy guru’s out there that would like to share their top 10 list of things to do to keep the lights on and the production flowing for Japan, I’d be interested to hear from you. I’m reading some of the discussions as time permits – so feel free to point me to some of the points you consider salient in those discussions.
Also, as an FYI, Fionn and I have upgraded to 1.0.2.1097.
Notes on Night Time Bombing:
I’ve spent the last 6 days with the majority of my LB performing night missions. The results are, I guess, what should be expected. My LB fly to their targets pretty much unmolested but the accuracy and amount of damaged done in the evening raids looks to be less than half of what I was accomplishing during daylight raids. I was kind of expecting that there would be a different skill set for night time raiding then daylight used by the pilots but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Also, although I’ve only tested for a short time frame, it looks like morale stays up or increases during night time raids. And there’s definitely less of a drain on pilots and air losses. I was hoping that there would be a night time skill set for the pilots that would improve accuracy/damage over the targets but I guess there’s nothing. Some of the planes will get radar later in the game. I wonder if there are any devices in later models of Japanese aircraft that will improve accuracy/damage when engaging ground/airbase/port targets?
I think that later on in the game the night time raids will be useful to me when Fionn has his advantage in fighters but for now I’ve got the advantage, so I’d best use it. Daylight raids will resume.
Game Progression:
I seem to be making good strides in the PI, Borneo, and Malaya. China is still not ready to start off yet but I should get operations going there soon. I’m in the process of taking Kuching and and with Kuantan already in my possession I’ve got the footings I need for air superiority in that neck of the woods. I want the advantage in the air as I plan to make a strong push to Palembang shortly. Another advantage of those two bases - it frees up my KB for other activities <grin> I’d also noted before that with Legaspi in my hands I now have the bridge I need to fly aircraft to the Marshall Isles.

RE: Combat Report for 12.10.41
In the PI Fionn has 10 units between Atimonan and the hex just SE were I tested his forces with a deliberate attack. My losses were pretty suprising in spite of a 1:1 combat.
I have better then 2:1 in troops, I have guns but he has armor. I guess I lost twice as many troops because I provided twice as many targets? - ROFL
I put these on defense and have my own armor coming up from Naga. With LB to provide suppression we'll see how things go in another turn or two.

The allied TF @ Atimonan looks to be a DD and a PG. My two TFs @ Naga - one is unloading supplies with a DD escort and the other is a Surface Combat TF with a pair of CAs and 3 DDs. Fighters @ the base fly CAP.
Also, as an FYI, we have our 1st house rule regarding Amphibious TFs - basically no PBs or SCs and a limit of 8 warships in the Amphibious TF. I was concerned that I'd be prevented from having enough warships in an invasion to try and suppress any CD units. Fionn pointed out that I can assign bombardment TFs to coincide with an amphibious assault.
I'm trying to get him to look at something that would require the non-static CD units to spend 2-3 weeks at a new base in strategic deployment mode B4 they could be used.
9 out of 10 non-static CD units referenced in AE for the allies are shown as units that require an emplacement. Mobile - in this case - seems to be that you can grab a CD unit and move it from San Francisco to PH as an example. All I'm trying to say is that once the CD unit is there it would take a while to emplace it. Deploying any 155 or 6" CD unit a day after it unloads from an AK could not happen. You wouldn't use the 155mm or 6" gun on a field carriage as you'd have a hell of a time traversing to track a ship. That's why they create a prepared gun emplacement - for ease of rotating the gun plus accuracy.

From my perspective this is a code or logic error. It would really take a few weeks at minimum to effectively deploy a CD unit of 10+ guns with any hope of defending a port. I see no difference between trying to *fix* a problem with CDs and Amphibious TFs versus establishing a minimum deployment time for a non-static CD unit after it arrives at a new destination.
Now - having said all of that - if Fionn doesn't have any plans to try and fix this in the EA mod he is working on then the point is mute.
I'm simply trying to suggest that there is a logic problem in deploying CD units for the allies and that a simple fix might be to have them wait a few weeks under the strategic movement phase. Right now it takes what - 2-3 days to prep for loading and then another 2-3 for unloading when using strategic movement? You wouldn't deploy CD units via an amphibious TF - right? So I was thinking that there might be an option in the editor to change the load time in the strategic movement phase from 2-3 days to 10-15 days...

Tracker shows 9 H81-A3 A2A losses with another 5 lost to Day Ops, and that he lost 6 Buffalo 1 in A2A. My losses are 3 A2A and 2 Day Ops for Oscars and no losses to my Zeroes. So that would be a 1:4 loss ratio for fighters over Singapore. The last couple of days have been great. I imagine Fionn won't be able to keep up with these losses. He barely has a handful of fighters in the PI now...

I wish there was a way to have my zero sweep Singapore 1st and then have my Oscars do clean-up. I think that I'd see more A2A kills per turn if I could switch leading FGs sweeping Singapore.

Tracker shows 9 H81-A3 A2A losses with another 5 lost to Day Ops, and that he lost 6 Buffalo 1 in A2A. My losses are 3 A2A and 2 Day Ops for Oscars and no losses to my Zeroes. So that would be a 1:4 loss ratio for fighters over Singapore. The last couple of days have been great. I imagine Fionn won't be able to keep up with these losses. He barely has a handful of fighters in the PI now...

I wish there was a way to have my zero sweep Singapore 1st and then have my Oscars do clean-up. I think that I'd see more A2A kills per turn if I could switch leading FGs sweeping Singapore.

Fionn has been giving me some lip about having KB here in the PI. He refers to my use of KB as bug-hunting with a nuke - lol. I spent two years in the PI as a navy-brat in Subic. If you've never been in the Philippines lemme tell you for true - there are lotsa bugs in the PI - I'm not sure that if you nuked the PI from Legaspi to Aparri that you'd kill them all - bugs that is.
Bottom line tho - if he's commenting on it then it can't be all that bad - lol.

Fionn has been giving me some lip about having KB here in the PI. He refers to my use of KB as bug-hunting with a nuke - lol. I spent two years in the PI as a navy-brat in Subic. If you've never been in the Philippines lemme tell you for true - there are lotsa bugs in the PI - I'm not sure that if you nuked the PI from Legaspi to Aparri that you'd kill them all - bugs that is.
Bottom line tho - if he's commenting on it then it can't be all that bad - lol.

These were part of my Amphibious Assault Force for Singkawang last turn. We've got that house rule regarding invasion TFs and I just figured he might be daft enough to slap a CD in Singkawang... rofl Anyway - I saw him bring the Cornwall to Kuantan last turn and split these ships off for an intercept.

These were part of my Amphibious Assault Force for Singkawang last turn.

The Mutsu crossed the "T" and everything.

RE: 1-3-42
From the Movie:
1.6.42
SS I-153 puts two torps into the xAP Camphuys near Palembang. Then he puts two into the xAP Le Maire.
SS I-155 surfaces and puts 11 shells into the xAKL Paz
It looks like the Grayling and the Gar (allied subs) each ran into a mine @ Fusan – too cool!
Bombing operations take place sporadically on the board due to weather. Nothing flies over the PI, and only a few missions get underway over China or Malaya.
Fionn moved the SS Snapper into Aparri and 5 DD I have escorting my Troop TF there drop DC. 3 hits tho nothing looked major.
My I-154 ran afoul of an ASW TF near Tandjoengselor. One hit was suffered but it was a pretty nasty one with major damage to his engines. I’m sending the I-154 in for repairs.
Samba falls this turn to the II/4th Infantry Battalion.

In a really weird move, Fionn dropped his CV just west of Wotje last turn as you saw from the pic I posted and then wisked them NE to the isle of Taong. I’d scrambled y ships outta port as I figured he was gunna try and give me some of what I’ve been dishing out in the PI. There are thunderstorms all through that area so it looks like he’ll escape.
I can’t even try to vector in my mini-KB which is positioned off Tarawa (which would not be too bright unless he has a supply tail or and invasion force behind him).
Seeing all of those xAK/xAP with troops on them from my sub attacks has me thinking he’ll try to hit somewhere in the Gilbert Isles (which is why mini-KB is where it is). Maybe his CVs are part of a plan to get me to move my mini back to Kwajalein?
Well, I at least know where his CV are. That gives me a chance to shoot my mini-KB east and see what’s out there.
China
1.7.42
It looks like Fionn will try to make a stand @ Changsha as a mouse-over shows 21 LCU.
I’ve got over 1000AV of troops plus lotsa Arty taking the high road to Chungking. Air support has been allocated (2 Ku K-1 of Sallys) with additional bomber groups and air support engineers coming out of Manchukuo.
I’ve got a small enemy LCU surrounded east of Hwainan and am marching the 15th Division into the enemy hex to capture/destroy the unit. I want to see if there are any differences between AE and WiTP in how long it takes to kill an enemy LCU. In WiTP it took 4ever.
The 21st Ind. Mixed Brigade is en route from Lang Son to take Nanning
The 3rd Militia Rgt is en route from Lang Son to take Pakhoi
Operation Palembang
1.7.42
The Bihoro & Genzan Ku K-1 AGs (72 Nell total) are flying out of Singkawang with orders to attack naval shipping. Fionn had told me via email that he was building up Singapore, which I thought kinda brain-damaged until I saw how well bombers seem to work against ground units. Mouse-overs of troops @ Singapore plus observations from my sub ops around Palambang lead me to believe he is now actually pulling out of Singapore. The funny thing is, with the airbases around Singapore and if he had enough engineers with air support plus fighters, I think he could have made one hell of a stand there, but it would really depend on his ability to contest my air superiority.
Bad weather cancelled yesterday’s flights.
I had a Recon AG out of Singkawang try to gather intel @ Palembang last turn but I had them set @ 20k and Fionn has a CAP over it… I set the altitude of the air group to its max this turn – lol.
Malaya
1.7.42
4 LB AG out of Kuantan are now under orders to plaster the airfields @ Singapore. I wanna damage enough to keep him from adding forts @ Singapore but not so much that it’ll take me 4ever to get them back in operation so I’ll be switching from Port to Airfield over the next few days.
1500AV of troops are currently deployed in Malaya and are marching down towards Kuala Lumpur, Mersing, & Johore Bahru before the make their final push to Singapore.

323AV of combined INF, ART, & ARM are in Lingayen. Fionn had sortied @ Cabanatuan to push back ART and HQ elements but now he seems to be pulling everything back to Manila. Works for me.

SS I-153 puts two torps into the xAP Camphuys near Palembang. Then he puts two into the xAP Le Maire.
SS I-155 surfaces and puts 11 shells into the xAKL Paz
It looks like the Grayling and the Gar (allied subs) each ran into a mine @ Fusan – too cool!
Bombing operations take place sporadically on the board due to weather. Nothing flies over the PI, and only a few missions get underway over China or Malaya.
Fionn moved the SS Snapper into Aparri and 5 DD I have escorting my Troop TF there drop DC. 3 hits tho nothing looked major.
My I-154 ran afoul of an ASW TF near Tandjoengselor. One hit was suffered but it was a pretty nasty one with major damage to his engines. I’m sending the I-154 in for repairs.
Samba falls this turn to the II/4th Infantry Battalion.

In a really weird move, Fionn dropped his CV just west of Wotje last turn as you saw from the pic I posted and then wisked them NE to the isle of Taong. I’d scrambled y ships outta port as I figured he was gunna try and give me some of what I’ve been dishing out in the PI. There are thunderstorms all through that area so it looks like he’ll escape.
I can’t even try to vector in my mini-KB which is positioned off Tarawa (which would not be too bright unless he has a supply tail or and invasion force behind him).
Seeing all of those xAK/xAP with troops on them from my sub attacks has me thinking he’ll try to hit somewhere in the Gilbert Isles (which is why mini-KB is where it is). Maybe his CVs are part of a plan to get me to move my mini back to Kwajalein?
Well, I at least know where his CV are. That gives me a chance to shoot my mini-KB east and see what’s out there.
China
1.7.42
It looks like Fionn will try to make a stand @ Changsha as a mouse-over shows 21 LCU.
I’ve got over 1000AV of troops plus lotsa Arty taking the high road to Chungking. Air support has been allocated (2 Ku K-1 of Sallys) with additional bomber groups and air support engineers coming out of Manchukuo.
I’ve got a small enemy LCU surrounded east of Hwainan and am marching the 15th Division into the enemy hex to capture/destroy the unit. I want to see if there are any differences between AE and WiTP in how long it takes to kill an enemy LCU. In WiTP it took 4ever.
The 21st Ind. Mixed Brigade is en route from Lang Son to take Nanning
The 3rd Militia Rgt is en route from Lang Son to take Pakhoi
Operation Palembang
1.7.42
The Bihoro & Genzan Ku K-1 AGs (72 Nell total) are flying out of Singkawang with orders to attack naval shipping. Fionn had told me via email that he was building up Singapore, which I thought kinda brain-damaged until I saw how well bombers seem to work against ground units. Mouse-overs of troops @ Singapore plus observations from my sub ops around Palambang lead me to believe he is now actually pulling out of Singapore. The funny thing is, with the airbases around Singapore and if he had enough engineers with air support plus fighters, I think he could have made one hell of a stand there, but it would really depend on his ability to contest my air superiority.
Bad weather cancelled yesterday’s flights.
I had a Recon AG out of Singkawang try to gather intel @ Palembang last turn but I had them set @ 20k and Fionn has a CAP over it… I set the altitude of the air group to its max this turn – lol.
Malaya
1.7.42
4 LB AG out of Kuantan are now under orders to plaster the airfields @ Singapore. I wanna damage enough to keep him from adding forts @ Singapore but not so much that it’ll take me 4ever to get them back in operation so I’ll be switching from Port to Airfield over the next few days.
1500AV of troops are currently deployed in Malaya and are marching down towards Kuala Lumpur, Mersing, & Johore Bahru before the make their final push to Singapore.
TF85(CL Kuma#, DD Yamagumo, DD Minegumo, DD Samidare, DDSetsuki, DD Minazuki, DD Fumizuki, DD Nagatsuki APD Simakaze, APD Nadakaze, 6 xAP, 4 xAK)Amphibious @ Hong Kong is loading the 38th Divison plus two Arty units and two Engineer units for Mersing

323AV of combined INF, ART, & ARM are in Lingayen. Fionn had sortied @ Cabanatuan to push back ART and HQ elements but now he seems to be pulling everything back to Manila. Works for me.

RE: 1-3-42
I'm digging into the ecomony and have tried to center on Hokkaido as a micro-economy to study. I'd be interested in knowing if there are any factors I've missed in this study that would affect my current import/export expectations for Hokkaido.
Hokkaido Bases:
Sapporo
--Resources 900 x 20 = +18,000 Resource points per day
--Oil 05 x 10pts = +50 Oil Points each day.
--Heavy Industry 040 X 2Fuel + 20Resources (-80Fuel + -800Res) = 80HI + 80 Supply pts
--Lite Industry 120 x 15Resources (-1800Res) = 120 Supply pts
------Current Stats from Tracker:
----------Supply on hand is steady @ 2591
----------Supply Needed steady @ 240
----------Fuel on hand is running @ a loss of ~ -4,200
----------Resources on hand is running at an increase of ~ +33,900
----------Oil on hand is steady @ 50pts
Asahikawa** Inland – no port!
--Resources 060 x 20 = +1,800 Resource points per day
--Oil 05 x 10pts = 50 Oil Points each day.

----------Resources on hand is currently 1,519,900 and increasing by ~ +700 per day
----------Oil on hand is currently 614,520 and increasing by ~ +150 per day
Conclusion for Economic import/export needs of Hokkaido:
--Move +4,200 fuel to Sapporo per day (42,000/10 days & 126,000/month)
--Pull +18,000 Resource per day from Sapporo (180,000/10 days & 540,000/Month)

RE: 1-3-42
Hi 1Eye
Very Interesting AAR. I've been reading both sides avidly. It's always good to have one maveric game which takes a different route to the majority.
It occurs to me that you will be shipping a lot of fuel for very little of HI on Hokkaido, so the demand must be for refuelling convoys. Rather than spending the effort and fuel in order to transport...er...fuel around the place, why not just refuel the convoys only from Honshu?
