DaBigBabes C - Diary of a Masochist: CT Grognard (J) vs Arnhem (A) (no Arnhem, please)

CT Grognard · Post by **CT Grognard** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 3:56 pm

My invasions of New Britain and New Ireland continue under heavy ASW support from Kido Butai. We capture Cape Gloucester, Talasea and Arawe.

We continue our heavy daily aerial bombardments of Singapore (which has become a sore point for me now, at least my combat units there are picking up valuable experience gains...) We try another deliberate attack...but just cannot get that magical 3 to 1 assault. Fortifications are again reduced to 0.

Zeroes from Oosthaven sweep Batavia, but no Allied fighters are up.

We land at Koepang, another SNLF will land at Dili tomorrow.

Bacolod in the Phillipines is cleaned up.

An SNLF goes ashore at Dili.

Zeroes sweep Kalidjati. Recon of Batavia shows just over 20 fighters and 20 bombers there.

We conduct some port attacks in the New Britain area. All bases on New Britain and New Ireland except for Rabaul and Kavieng are captured.

More aerial bombardment of Singapore, just about the only Allied unit left there with combat ability is an Indian Division with about 100 AV, a deliberate attack there gets a 1 to 1 and brings forts down to 0 again...the Allied engineers there keep putting up forts to 1 overnight. I am going to rest my assault units for at least three or four days before conducting (hopefully the final!) assault on Singapore.

My trap at Nanyang has been sprung. We have over 2,700 AV present there, and will attack tomorrow.

We try a bombardment attack at Palembang, there is 426 Allied AV there, and I will need reinforcements (and lots of engineer units) before I attack here. Singapore will need to fall first.

In Burma we capture Toungoo. We are performing recon of Allied bases in Burma, have not found any large troop concentrations yet, and the AVG has disappeared. Chiang Mai is almost up to a level 3 airfield.

Heavy aerial bombardments of Singapore persist while I am resting my tired assault troops.

One of my I-boats outside Brisbane gets hit twice by depth charges, she'll head back to Kwajalein for some repairs.

At Nanyang Japanese troops have entered from about four different directions. Our first attack achieves good results, reducing fortifications to 2 and disrupting quite a lot of Chinese combat squads. We will deliberate attack again tomorrow, hopefully inflicting some heavy casualties on the Chinese units here who appear to be running very low on supply. We will then continue harassing survivors if they retreat across the open hexside to the west onto clear terrain.

Rabaul and Kavieng are captured, with the Allied units there surrendering.

An ambitious assault at Koepang is unsuccessful, I will need to reinforce here if I am to take it. An Allied task force has been spotted apporaching Timor, apparently three ships only, with two being xAPc - not sure what to make of that.

Oh, one more thing - BB California has just shown up on the sunk list. Apparently she sank in the hex one due east from Pearl Harbor today...interesting, not sure what to make of it.

Oh, and here's a screenshot of the current situation. We've overtaken the Allied VP score in the last two days:

CT Grognard · Post by **CT Grognard** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 3:34 am

A good day for Allied subs...First a Dutch sub scores a hit on a Kyushu freighter that was resupplying my units in Sumatra; a second Dutch sub scores another hit on another Kyushu, all while they are returning to Singkawang from Oosthaven.

Batavia is swept by Zeroes from Oosthaven, but is again clear.

Singapore is bombed (again), and bombarded.

At Nanyang we get a 1 to 2 attack - but it's not quite as bad as it looks. They will rest for one day and then shock attack! The reason for the supply shortages at Nanyang I think I can surmise - it means my trap worked!

I had moved the 1st Army onto the road/railway from Sian to Nanyang, thus cutting off supplies from there. The capture of Loyang and Chengchow cut off another avenue of supplies. Then, I had moved an armoured regiment across the river and into Nanyang from the southwest in order to cut the road from Ankang. There are only two hexsides through which Nanyang can now be resupplied - via the rough hex to the northeast or via the clear hex to the west.

Quiet turn, in most places units are moving into position.

Batavia is swept again, no Dutch fighters are up. Bombers will visit here soon then...

Singapore endures more bombing. The siege has been almost a month-and-a-half now. I am resting my troops for a big assault tomorrow...

Singapore finally falls to a shock assault by rested Japanese troops, bringing an end to the very long siege.

Almost 50,000 Allied troops surrender; the base facilities at Singapore are intact.

The deep port at Singapore will be very useful during the upcoming Java campaign...troops will be rested but are already planning for future targets.

Elsewhere we reinforce Koepang with another SNLF and will attack tomorrow; we land troops at Baybay on Leyte (cleaning up the last Allied resistance in the Philippines)...

Batavia is again swept but is clear of Dutch fighters, for some reason my bombers decided not to fly...oh well, let's hope they fly tomorrow and bomb these Dutch bombers and fighters at Batavia.

Two uncoordinated sweeps go in at Lashio, where I know just over 20 AVG fighters are...no CAP is up. I'm toying with the idea of a sweep...

In China, an additional 400 AV is about a day or two out of Wenchow - Arnhem will get a nasty surprise there.

At Nanyang, after a day's rest, we conduct a massive shock attack, which reduces fortifications to 0. We suffer some heavy casualties, but we've disabled a lot of Chinese squads who are very low on supplies. We will conduct a bombardment attack tomorrow before looking to carry out another shock attack to kill off as many Chinese troops as possible.

The capture of Singapore and the surrender of almost 50,000 troops has resulted in quite a large swing in VPs - from a position where it was more or less 1:1 a day ago, the score is now 1.5:1 in favour of the Japanese.

Not that score is important, the goal is to do better than the Japanese did in real life.

Another positive is that I've been very stingy with political points, so much so that I currently have a stockpile of over 3,000. This means I can invade Australia, should I wish to do so (in terms of our house rules) - of course, first I have to secure Java first (again, in terms of house rules, an invasion of Australia can only take place once the entire Mindanao, Kendari, Ambon, Timor, Singapore and Java have been conquered).

If I want to invade India, I'd have to stockpile an additional 1,000 PPs.

Another option is to buy out two experienced, heavy infantry divisions from Manchukuo for usage elsewhere. A strong focus of mine is China, if I can make some strong inroads here early I can release a lot of LCUs to reinforce my perimeter in the South.

Decisions, decisions...

9th Division (currently attached to 3rd Army in Manchukuo) has 80 exp and 437 AV and would be the first division to be bought.

14th Division (currently attached to 6th Army in Manchukuo) has 80 exp and 423 AV.

Having these two divisions show up somewhere where they are not expected could be a nasty surprise to my opponent.

On the other hand...

...these two units could be perfect candidated for my Rapid Reaction Force.

The idea is as follows:

3x Asama Maru-class xAPs, 2x Brazil Maru-class xAPs, 2x Heian Maru-class xAPs, 2x Buenos Aires Maru xAPs, and the Yasukuni Maru-class xAP.

We then have ten transports that have a troop carrying ability of 37,630 and cargo capacity of 12,133. Also, the slowest of these is 18 knots - i.e. at mission speed we are talking 9 hexes per day - and they all have endurance of at least 10,700.

The 9th and 14th Divisions require troop-lift of just under 30,000 and cargo lift of about 3,000 - a perfect fit for our transports which will carry around 9,000 supplies in addition.

This Rapid Reaction Force would be heavily escorted by CAs and DDs and accompanied by CVLs.

Any Allied invasion of the perimeter, once it comes in the second half of 1942, will then potentially be met by this force reinforcing a contested base.

Research and Development:

Just a reminder that this scenario is "PDU Off", which means I have to be very careful about upgrade paths.

42-04 H6K2-L Mavis: 2(0)
42-04 Ki-48-IIa Lily:
42-04 Ki-49-Ia Helen: 30(0) (Sadly, very few bomber squadrons upgrade to the Helen...)
42-05 G3M3 Nell:
42-05 Ki-45 KAIa Nick: 19(11) (I really like the Nicks)
42-06 A6M3 Zero: 0(30)
