RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Re the Indian armored units, be careful with those, some seem to not be filling out with reinforcements. There's a thread on this in tech support. I tried to fill out the big armored brigades first and they are stalled out, not filling up.
RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Aye if he hits India I will need to ask for a pause until patch 3
Things in general are quiet sigin shows ships moving for Dili and prep or LCU's for Derby so I think Darwin is a probable attack location I am not going to stop him there String taught me that
So I will try to bleed him

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Both the Aus Divs are on Ceylon at present.
Ceylon, Perthk, NZ and Fijo are all guarded.
New Cal and Darwin are both exposed but they are deliberately exposed in that I know I cannot hold them for now

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
I am still convinced PZB is going for Darwin no Sig int beyond forces heading to Dili so we shall wait and see whats next
RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Yup I was right a Japanese landing by 2 reinforced Divs at Darwin and some comments about India as though I believe that !!!
OK fighting retreat starts today. I am watching Perth, the gulf to the NE of Townsville and the Townsville to Cairns coast.
NZ and Fiji are being reinfoced as well I dont trust john an Inch.
(Also Ceylon and India - hey paranoia is good when playing with PZB !!)

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Landings at Normanton as well I have 1 reinforced Bde there and managed to launch an attack yesterday that sank a few transports but probably after they unloaded.
Not sure the Australian Cavalrymen can hold the line we shall see

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
I managed to hold on everywhere Normanton will not hold for long he can reinforce more than I am willign to committ to that theatre
KB is definitely in that gulf though
May be a diversion not sure I am wary about committing to much forward

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
If PZB really is going fro Australia I will take steps int he north to reinfoce Akyab and begin to prep for a counter offensive
RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
If that is the case, good thinking, hit him where he's not.

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Hmmm not sure.
PZB has landed a strong force at Normanton and is driving south fast.
I have 2 Divisions digging in on the road to Cairns and will await his arrival I cannot really commit more without being exposed to an outflanking attack.
I am protecting bases like Bowen, Rockhampton and Cairns with extensive forces including CD guns and am spreading the indpt companies about the interior as anti para forces.
Overall I am not sure what he is up to.
I have one US Division in Australia at present based at Brisbane
So far its a case of wait and see what occurs.
Both the AIF Divs are in Ceylon and are en route to Australia.
I have no idea what he is up to but I will be sending a strong Corps of troops from India to support the Australians if this looks to be real.

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Have you upgraded your Aussie units to AIF42 squads already?
RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
No never had enough in the pool.
But I just disbanded the two AIF Indpt Bns in order to accelerate that action so I now have about 100 in the pool so Bdes should start upgradinbg now.
PZB managed to para land at Tennant Creek and take the base from me.
Irritating but not a disaster.
I have a Recce Bn en route that will be there in two days and my retreating force from Darwin is still ahead of the pursuit so I should make it out of the pocket.
A lot of units are en route to Australia - I am watching carefully for a CV raid as that would be nasty at present

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
In my two PBEMs where I have had to duke it out in Oz, I found 1) the US armored units to be very handy 2) the B25/26s also to be handy. Lots of open ground in Oz which makes air attacks deadly.

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
Yup so far I am watchfull rather than worried - he has a lot of uncommited divs still so I need to watch all angles
RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
In Spam and Saki my opponent Tim landed at Darwin and Derby. I retreated back to Tennent Creek. The line in the sand has been drawn.
Lucky for you, tonight it's just me

RE: Ambush at Prot Moresby
PZB just took Tennant Creek by Para drop I am not to fussed by the northern and central attack as he will struggle to get anywhere important.
Normanton is more dangerous as he can land behind me if I am not carefull so its a balancing act
