Andy,
 
Any mines at Chittagong? A few mines, a few mtbs, and a sub or two in his path. I find this discourages harrassing bombardments as it is not worth the risk to a captial ships just to kill some airplanes.

No only Abdiel is in theatre and she uses MkXVII Mines none of which are available until Dec 42

PZB lost another 6 bombers today attacking a full Light and heavy AA Regt

OK today was not a good day troops crossed the river into Charter towers early 1:2 may not be able to hang on until help arrives only 300 AV there for PZB which is low....
 
Is he evaccing already ?
 
In other news he hit Winton and crushed 2/3 of my operational P38's ont th eground !! they were supposed to be on CAP byt it was a tiny proportion that was up

My heavies came out to play today not enough to save my armour from having to perform a fighting retreat against a SMALL Japanese force - I bet he is bugging out
 
KB is there he must be using them to cover a retreat.
 
Despite getting kicked out of Charter Towers today I am pretty happy.
 
My heavies concentrated, trained and restyed got the job done.
 
Thats pretty much every heavy on the map and the results whilwe not spectaculer were pretty good...

I am convinced he is evaccing to few troops forward deployed
 
Not a lot I can do about it but I will keep on him
 
 

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:16 pm

KB would only be in theatre for one reason to cover an evacc out of Australia.
 
Very little I can do about it my redeployment to CENTPAC has just completed and I am loading up for the Line Islands.
 
I could be wrong but I doubt it

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:19 pm

In CENTPAC 6 Carriers, 11 BB's, 36 Cruisers and over 100+ DD's are getting ready to assault land a few Divs onto the line islands
 
 

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:28 pm

58 to 41 today not great but most of my losses were P400's and Canadian Hurricanes so not to worried both are obsolete and will soon be replaced.
 
I will need to drive forward fast if my Naval Strike aircraft are to be in range

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 10:16 pm

With KB present in Australian waters any plans I had for hitting the Solomons or New Britain is gone.
 
I Hvae 6 NZ Bdes and about a Div of US Infantry in NZ prepping but I suspect I am to late.
 
Not sure where to go now.
 
Supply constraints will stop me getting overwhelming force in Burma and CENTPAC after the line islands will be risky.
 
The reality is I can probably take the Gilberts but I doubt I can  hold them
 
I need to think about next steps carefullyl

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 11:04 pm

PT Boats based at Palm Island achieve nothing
 
my 4E bomb the crap out of Townsville port PZB not happy but only 30 of those fighters were up on CAP the rest came up AFTER my bombs were away so he was caught out of position.

Not a good day lost a lot of aircraft in Australia 20+ for almost nothing.
 
My invasion of Line Islands is at sea.

Andy Mac,

I see from the last screenshot that a couple of Queensland inland dot hexes have been built into bases. Did you or your opponent engage in construction and approximately how long did the construction to level 1 take?

PZB lost another 6 bombers today attacking a full Light and heavy AA Regt

Thats about 40 in three days - 6,000 feet = bad idea...

yeah, someone should tell him to revert to 10000 ft as this would make him avoid everything smaller than 75mm and it works just as well attacking from 10k.

Alfred it would have been quick they are all high SPS AF's
 
My real target was always Charter Towers and my Armoured Spearhead has arrived and is fully prepped for that base so lets see how they do tomorrow when ordered to shock attack.
 
3rd Aus Div is also en route as Garrison.
 
I want to take the base quickly to release my Armour for future ops.
 
In about two days I will start to redeploy heavy bombers to other theatres.
