Disaster in Burma
De facto I have 1 Chinese Corps, 3 Indian Divs plus support retreating on Katha.
I have the ability to fly in another 1 - 2 Divs including two LRP Bdes of Chindits....
XV Corps is still making really hard going of the trek accross the mountains and has about 50 mountain miles to go before its on the plain...

RE: Disaster in Burma
ps not a total disaster - if PZB can be tempted into pursuing off the main roads then he may get a nasty surprise.
XV Corps is very powerfull
AND
I have IV Corps and XXXIII Corps in India in case an opportunity arises to land in the south if he overcommitts to the North

RE: Disaster in Burma
Also my Armoured Corps in Australia potentially could be available....
RE: Operation Privateer
ORIGINAL: Andy Mac
Thats normal 3 Field Reginments
Ouch, I guess a lot of my Divs are pretty understrength then... I'll have to look at them again soon as I get home tonight.
RE: Operation Privateer
While I await the next turn I took a long look round my forces.
XXXIII Corps currently has a 19th, 7th, 25th and 26th Indian Div and 255th Indian Armoured Bde (Madras)
IV Corps has a composite US Div, 18th British, 6th Australian, 50th Tank and 268th Motorised Bde (Calcutta)
So about 8 Divs total between the two Corps
In addition India Command has about another 10 - 12 Inf Bdes and 10 - 12 Inf Bns on rear area garrison duties
XV Corps in the mountains has about 6 Divs albeit some of them are garrison Bdes along to secure LOC
Burma Corps has 14th, 17th and 39th Indian and a Chinese Corps
In Australia
III Indian Corps (In Australia) has 3 Tank and 3 Motorised Bdes plus Indpt Regts
I Aus Corps has 2nd 4th and 5th Aus Divs
II Aus Corps has 1st, 3rd and 8th Aus Divs
I US Amphib Corps 27th, 40th 41st and Amercal Divs
In NZ
3rd NZ Div (1 Regular Bde, 1 Regular Bde on Suva and 6 Militia Bdes plus 3 Deployable Armoured Regts)

RE: Operation Privateer
Brutal air combat I lose about 50 30 P40's and 20 Hurricanes but my bombers are ok
PZB loses about 60 Tojos
I call this one a win if only barely
Most of my airpower failed to launch
100+ 4E's didnt lauch nor their 40 P38 Escort
My 36 Welliongton Noght bombers were also socked in
They are fresh and going in tomorrow.
Best news of all my vulnerable 100+ RAF Bombers managed to get through intact had they ran into a 100+ intact LRCAP of Tojos <shudder>
So I lost about 50 out of 350 fighters that launched and almost no bombers which are my real weak point

PZB loses about 60 Tojos
I call this one a win if only barely
Most of my airpower failed to launch
100+ 4E's didnt lauch nor their 40 P38 Escort
My 36 Welliongton Noght bombers were also socked in
They are fresh and going in tomorrow.
Best news of all my vulnerable 100+ RAF Bombers managed to get through intact had they ran into a 100+ intact LRCAP of Tojos <shudder>
So I lost about 50 out of 350 fighters that launched and almost no bombers which are my real weak point

RE: Operation Privateer
Tomorrow I am making a decisive bid for air superiority in North Burma
225 Group's 40 Wellingtons and 16 Liberator II's are ordered to hit Magwe AF tonight
In the moring 50 Hurricanes and P40's will sweep the AF
A second wave of 50 P38's will follow up clearing the way for 100 x B17's
My force preservation is paying off I have avoided excessive losses which has allowed me to keep a force in being.
Could be famous last works tomorrow......I have to assume PZB has a lot of damaged Tojo's after today's fights and I hope to catch them on the ground

RE: Operation Privateer
Another tough day but I torched 30 Tojos half in the air half on the ground so not too bad
Lost about another 30 of my own my Hurricanes are starting to get tired so are standing down for 24 hours the USAAF P38's and Wellingtons of Bomber Command will need to keep up the effort

RE: Operation Privateer
We will see what the next few days bring but I think I may have air superiority at least temporarily having destroyed over 90 Tojo's in the last two days its cost me 90 Fighters of my own but by carefull rotation of Sqns I still have a sizable reserve of both aircraft and pilots.
My most vulnerable pools remain the Blenheim ones basically my RAF Medium Bombers are very very fragile even now.
Hurricanes are not great having lost over 40 in the last two days but I still have a reserve and all Sqns at full strength.
I also have 80+ Fulmers in reserve which I do not want to commit but will if I have to

RE: Operation Privateer
p.s. this is the advantage of staying back and not being attrited I may be weaker than I would like but I have enoug pool density in key types to carry on.
I am low on P38's and recieve no more B17's
De facto my intention is to continue to commit all my B17's to Burma and use B24's everywhere else in my heavy Sqns.
As the 17's are slowly attrited away to nothing over time they will be replaced by the starting to arrive in number USAAF Medium bombers.
In a few weeks I will decide but I believe I may send the USN and RN Carrier Fleet back to Capetown when repaired I will have 6 Fleet Carriers plus HMS Indomitable already in Indian Waters.
Potetnially that could give me a nice striking force when the time comes for Operation Dracula....

Future operations
III Indian (Armour) Corps will retake North Australia
I Aus Corps will prep for PM
II Aus Corps will revert to garrison duties
I US Amphib Corps will get ready for Solomons Campaign supported by 3rd NZ Div
I will need to re organise my forces accordingly and this will take some time but in general I anticipate these operations occuring in early 43

RE: Operation Privateer
Obviously I have been using the coastal bases a lot for fighter sweeps so I am expecting a visit soon.
HMS Indomitable, HMS Hemes and group is moving on Ceylon on board she has 45 Albacores and 20 Sea Hurricanes...
HMS Truant is patrolling off shore for now and HMS Trusty is en route a further Group consisting of 4 Dutch and 1 S Boat are also en route so that will give me 6 subs and a TF of 2 CV's, 2 BB's, 2 CA's and 20 other ships

John has pulled back his air force and it looks like 25 units at Schwebo mught be heading home as well.
To everyone who says the supply model is FUBAR I can guarantee you it aint.
Every unit in my mountain force is Fatigue +20, Disruption moderate and climbing and Supply in the red (I am haviong to divert more and more C47's to achieve 2 miles per day)
PZB seems to believe this is easy for me I guaratee it aint

and I guarantee you it is, if you´re not playing a special "dev edition". I´ve marched 7000av into Burma and never had a single day suppyl problems. Supply problems is something different than to see you units turning into red supply for one or two days when they miss 10-50 supplies out of 15000. Then I´ve liberated Burma and within three weeks, China sucked 250,000 supplies from Burma over the trails. Mhm, that´s why I say it´s major FUBAR. And no, I didn´t even try to use the draw supply arrows in China deliberetely to draw supplies. And where did the supplies come from that were drawn from Burma to China? Correct, from India... Supplies from Akyab or Cox´s Bazar for example are immediately drawn to Rangoon or wherever you want to have them in Burma.
The supply routine is totally FUBAR, I supplied 7000av in Burma without ANY problem, I can move millions of supplies over the trails to China (if there´s supply in Burma) and I have had 2500 av in Northern Australia for months that were drawing their supplies from ALICE SPRINGS. For months, never had a supply problem. You seem to be the only one having supply problems as one would expect to have when marching an Army of that size through the jungle into Burma as other players have reported exactly the same as I do.

that´s correct, I can´t even supply Tennant Creek or Daily Waters from Alice Springs. Yet I could supply the 2500av sitting at Katherine (in enemy hands) and now at Darwin (in enemy hands). Drawing the hundreds of thousand supplies to China via trails from Burma doesn´t mean I wouldn´t have supply problems there though because there the supply routine kicks in again and stores the supply at places I wonder what to do with the supplies there. [:D] Guess China needs some 1.5 mio supplies to see it stop having supply issues (in bases). Don´t have supply issues within my LCUs now though as they can draw from bases on the other side of China if there´s supply.[:D]

You got that totally wrong, there is no 'dev edition', just a 'castor troy' edition. [8D][;)]
Btw, I don't see any major problems in the supply routines. But I haven't tested it either.
If you gained knowledge through the forum, why not putting it into the AE wiki?

RE: Operation Privateer
Castor I am playing the same version you are and my units are not fully supplied despite having over 100 C47's on supply drops.
De facto my units are at 2/3 supply, fatigue is rising and I am struggling to get them moving in the mountains.
So I stand by what I said.
