RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
China May 27, 1944
NJP just gave up Luichow without a fight. That is surprising considering the base creates 40 supply on it's own plus the light industry in the hex. He might not have received the bonus but it will help me out. I guess he knew that I had armor on the way but he had nearly 70,000 troops in the hex a few turns prior. This leads me to believe that he is going to use Kweiyang, Kweilin, and Kukong along with Canton and Hong Kong as his Maginot Line.
This is perfectly acceptable to me as I plan on trying to go around/through it near Amoy. Using armor and other troops I plan on moving around Canton by land and approaching the coastal bases. In the meantime I have several units prepping for amphibious assault of certain bases in the area. Once Luzon is properly developed to lvl 9 airfields on the north end I plan on an amphibious assault somewhere on the coast of China. Once I get to the roads all the AV he has in the world wont save him from getting cut off in the west if he does not pull back.
Pakhoi jumped up to a lvl 6 airfield and shortly I will move engineers to Kwangchowan to get an airfield closer to Canton/Hong Kong but I might be able to score the base just northwest of them which would be much better to develop and use.
Starting now but with more focus going into June I am going to start using strategic bombers for their primary purpose and attempting to degrade anything within china that is worth NJP's interest.

Indochina May 27, 1944
The resistance in Indochina has collapsed and there are 3 or so units wandering the countryside. There are another 10 or so units moving northeast toward China from the previous out manuvering in Thailand.
This provides me with over 1200 AV of mostly armor to play with. Troop transports should arrive any day.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Mindano & Babeldaob May 27, 1944
These are 2 stubborn holdouts. Mindano much more than Babeldaob as I havent concentrated much on the latter. Anyway, the last attack on Mindano destroyed almost 120 squads so I think the end is near there. I am moving another division 100% prepped for Babeldaob into position. I have most of my battleship forces ready to pingpong between Babeldaob and Pelieu where a good portion of my AKE's have arrived.
The plan is to just beat Babeldaob silly from 18,000 yards so we are outside of fortress range. In the meantime I will drop another division on land and remove some of the naval battalions.
When he is punch drunk I can start hitting him with bombers from Pelieu as it just went to level 5 and I will be hitting his airfields from high altitude to start working down his flak and supplies. When flak stops I drop these down to 10K ground bombing.
Hopefully it does not take very long for him to give up the island. Also, I have another division prepped for Yap where he has about 12K troops. I am guessing 100-200AV there. I will take that out too so I have a ring of islands between the Japanese and New Guinea.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
The state of war late May 1944
Overall things are going well. Mindano has been a set back and I have serious respect for mountain terrain. Once it falls along with Babeldaob and Yap it will free up probably around 2000-3000AV.
The land war will continue in Asia moving east while I look for a chink in the armor along the coast northwest of Formosa. In a few days much of my amphibious transport fleet will finish upgrading at pearl harbor and begin assisting in final loading and arrangement of troops in the Aleutians prior to the amphibious assault of the Kuriles.
Along with this I plan on sending Allied naval combat battalions to all of the small islands around Okinawa (there are about 6) and taking what I can get.
Strategically I start to bomb China and Luzon and maybe send a few long shots into Japan to pull some of his air cover back to the home islands.
Point wise I am moving forward slowly but given some of the point totals I have heard that strategic bombing yields I am confident that I can generate a win sometime in 1945. Anything before that would be above and beyond but it would require something like 200+ points a day while I am only on track at maybe 100-150 per day vp gain.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
18,000 yds is further out than you need to be. Lacking radar fire control, the Japanese rarely hit anything outside visual range at night.
I would start at minimum distance 12K yds and move in 2K next time if there is no effective fire. Rinse, repeat.

Thanks, tomorrow mornings bombardments go in at 12K :]

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
How bad is this??
6 Minelayers dead, 1 major minelayer & 5 costal ones.
I am not sure how many of these ships he has. This TF threaded the needle of at least 9 task forces including the cruisers they tangle with next.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Japan can convert many xAKLs to AMc and CMc, and small PBs. It takes 2-3 weeks.
I think the CMs are either conversions from xAKs or original construction naval ships. Probably much longer to build one.
Too bad one of the E's got away. Those dang things are much tougher than their size warrants and they are the bane of any enemy sub.
EDIT: PS - the real prize there is if you sank those MLs before they laid their eggs. A nice chunk of his mine pools wasted.
