Ending an IJ wet dream - bluebook (J) vs castor troy (A)

ADB123 · Post by **ADB123** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:11 am

Are his bombers flying from within the Philippines or from Taiwan? If they are flying from outside the Philippines I would still expect his Ops losses to be regular and steady, even if his Flak losses are minimal. Can you post an Air Losses screen sorted by Ops losses? I would be curious to see what shows up in the top 10.

My experience in all of my matches is that flying multiple Bombing missions on a daily basis costs me around a dozen or so Ops losses per day regardless of what side I am playing.

Thanks -

he's flying from the Philipines and started to do this as soon as he had an operational airfield. Flying from Taiwan would of course couse more losses but as he's flying from just two hexes range he takes literally no losses. Will take a screen of the airlosses next turn, will show up in the AAR a couple of turns later.

Chris, you might be interested in learning that the 11th - 13th Indpt Infantry Regiments at Malaybalay are part from a Division starting in China (at least in stock but I don't think this scenario changed that).

hi

thanks for the info, didn't know that. It's something I expected already, China is nearly completely quiet and bluebook goes wild on the map, I expect him to release a div from China whenever he can. Something like 5000av in total are operating against me, including the units that assaulted Singapore and suffered a little, so we are now probably somewhere between 4-5000 av.

Correct. Those three regiments all start at about 110 AV each with 90 experience in northern China (Kweisui, I believe) as part of Mongol Garrison Army.

what I wonder though is why didn't he recombine those regiments into their division again?

Usually japanese division need 3 infantry regiments, artillery regiment and engineer regiment, sometimes also recon regiment. Maybe artillery and engineer units have not arrive yet? Some of the supporting units arrive much later.

AG Gold Star, Shell hits 38, and is sunk

that AG was also moving small amounts of supplies to Bataan but with my AA units using up all the supply there it is just completely senseless... NEVER, I say NEVER put AA units into a base that is sieged... hundreds of IJ bomber sorties cause nearly NO supply loss if there are no AA units but with only those 6 base forces/AA units at Clark I lost something like 800 tons of supplies each day... in return, those units managed to shoot down 3 or 4 bombers out of 3-5000 sorties...

damn, I didn't notice these IJ divs moving towards Chengchow and they shock attack across the river getting a higher adjusted av than their base av which is quite insane considering this is a river crossing... oh well, I only had this unit there not to suffer from the partisan penalty each turn but planned to move it out as soon as the enemy advances towards the base... nearly 5000 Chinese fail to KILL a FULL enemy squad that shock attack across a river...

with 250+ bombers attacking into a thunderstorm hex our counter offensive at Soerabaja fails miserably... damn it, I should just have stayed at Malang waiting in the mountains for the enemy to attack us... of course the enemy is lucky enough to have halve a dozen more of his units popping up and have all his bombers attack us during a thunderstorm... even if the enemy reinforcements were still in strat mode, they were essential as there were not even 200av there yesterday... thumbs up, works great for us again, not really a good turn...

there you go... with our failed counteroffensive we have reduced our combat power to 50%... not my best moment... needless to say that it's again my opponent who is lucky because we would have needed just ONE more day to move out to prevent total disaster... so he flew 250+ bombers into a thunderstorm hex, coming from bases all over the place and not nearby and he was able to rail in reinforcements exactly the day he needed to to prevent being kicked out... then we are kicked out right the day before we move out... it's either paranoia or bad luck, or a combination of both...

that's today's good news, the enemy admits that CVE Taiyo was sunk after getting back to Kendari... means the first enemy "carrier" is claimed by DUTCH light cruisers which attacked the cruiser with gunfire at Koepang! [:D]

CVE Taiyo is reported to have been sunk near Kendari on Jan 06, 1942

I wonder what HRs you have in that game?

going from memory

no Allied 4E on nav attack below 10000ft except Navy types
cease fire in China until Feb 42
no Allied strat bombing of Japanese occupied Allied territory
restricted units not being allowed to move across borders without paying pp
keeping the R&D somewhat realistic (realistic R&D turned off though), with advanced types not arriving earlier than 3 or 4 months

Historiker · Post by **Historiker** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:56 am

I see.
So no bombing of Magwe... [:)]

What is the effect of realistic R&D off anyways?
