Just keep in mind that the B-29B should only be used for night bombing. It only has 2 guns for defense.

I will sure keep that in mind! [:)] But I was rather referring to the unit and not the plane . This particular unit will fly very few mission. Perhaps only 1-4 missions throughout the war...[;)]

Since Fenrir swallows the sun, does this mean you're going to invade Tokyo Bay? [;)]

That unit should only fly 2 missions, no use giving your opponent better victory.

Hi Joc. I would recommend not doing a cross river attack toward Moulmein. Better to take 22 days and cross to the northeast then head south west. the casualties u take will take 30 days to recover. If u do go across river suggest all units follow an armored bde in combat mode.ORIGINAL: JocMeister

The attack went and didn´t go as well as we had hoped. No disasters though. Damaged is spread very evenly among the troops with only 20-30 disablements per unit. Was a bit surprised to find that two of the US IDs really took a beating though. They will have to be pulled out.

Allied AV numbers are off as the second stack entered the hex the same turn. The are in move mode and did not participate in the attack. Stupid or not. I will attack again next turn with all units that arn´t disrupted and/or too damaged.
My thinking here is simple. I have a gazillion fully built up bases including Rangoon and 800.000 supply. My units will be sitting in comfy bases with plenty of supply. Erik will be stuck in the Jungle with hopefully bad supply and Malaria. I´m thinking I will recover a lot faster then him. And I have endless supply while each recovered squad will cost him precious supply ! [8D]
So tomorrow we go again. Its a good chance he will have left the hex by then though. Sadly I will have to stand the bombers down now. Fatigue is just too high now and its starting to show as I have over 200 4Es stuck on the ground repairing. AA is vicious but is luckily causing very little destroyed planes.
I have also decided to make the crossing. I will rest off the fatigue in Pegu and then make the crossing ASAP. Once most is across I can reinforce without triggering another shock attack.

She kind of bluntly let me know I should ask her. I think she said something like "we should get married" and that was pretty much the end of the discussion! [:D] I doubt she will wait another 6 years though...
