Looks like OJ (Onnekotan Jima) needs some suppressing to use up his supply and cut his bombardments.

I am certainly getting my ass handed to me there. It isnt worth taking, he is too well dug in and there is no strategic value to it..

I am hoping the guys can hold out for about a week on the beaches and then I will pull them out.

Otherwise he gets credit for 2 divisions.

love to see this with hex sides turned on....red-green

ps. I did not see this working in the beginning, I learned quite a bit.

I am honored that you got something from the AAR and my play style!!

Here is this turn with hex sides on.

I am moving a division from Canton Northeast to block any attempt to connect to units around this area and Kukong. NJP immediately started moving a unit or units out of Hong Kong. I have a division and a tank regiment in the center blocking. If he does move into that open hex I am going to hit whatever units do with all my land bombers plus naval bombardment.

He has a large stack of units manuvering in the Chuhsien area and I think he might test my lines there but I have 2 divisions at Amoy that will strat move to oppose him and another division and tank regiment landing at Amoy next turn.

That's a lot of pockets! He looks completely off balance. Again, well done. It looks like he is going to fight hard for Changsha as well or risk a huge debacle. Thanks for posting the hex sides.

**amended: It is a huge debacle.

**amended: It is a huge debacle.

Well, that is the thing. He has about 400 tanks 2 hexes west of Changsha. But he needs to defend Changsha, Wuchang and the 2 hexes in between and he has nothing better than 2* landscape at best.

In my opinion the disaster was letting me take Nanchang almost unopposed as it diminishes his movement lines down to 1 vector. He does have some small supply generation in the cities in the Changsha pocket and also Wenchow is still putting out 58 but it is not enough to support all those units.

I am going to move across the river and threaten Anking and the plains of China and once my armor gets there it will be really hard to stop it and total shutdown of supply.

The Chinese units are getting fat and healthy from all the supply, Chungking is over 70K supplies and it is even getting into the cities NE of Chungking near Sian which I have almost never gotten supply to.

As he moves East I will give the cities back to the Chinese to Garrison and push the majority of the Allies and British East.

This next turn will see 4-6 major battles and I will see where I am at in terms of his strength across the board.

I am moving 2 additional divisions up to Mersing and will assault Singapore with at least 4 divisions and a few tank regiments. Given it's long standing isolation and small amount of troops < 40,000 I think that should be enough to take the city over a short period of time. If this is the case then I will have another 1000 AV to throw into the fight probably by November.

As it stands now though, most of my armies with the exception of about 7 divisions in and around the Kuriles is now in China causing Havoc...

Note on the hexside map that Anking has forces in place. I suspect the IJ will defend the river there ...

Just a thought .. If you want to take an atoll with dug in troops .. use dive bombers ..
the results will not be obvious but look at an AAR called "WiTP vs Newbie" I wrote awhile ago.
I had troops pinned on an Atoll and it was suggested to use DB's .. I bombarded with BB's and used carrier based
DB's to disrupt the IJ forces .. not a lot of disabled squads or killed squads but hidden to me was an increase in disruption
Disruption in this game seems to be like disabled in behavior, but is more rapidly recovered from...
It also seems that disrupted forces become disabled and disabled become killed ... So over time I was able
to defeat the IJ and secure the Atoll ...

Keep the suggestions and opinions coming please, it helps me develop strategy outside my own head!!

I plan on moving directly northeast from Nanchang and secure the river crossing there. Once over on the other side I will advance, likely in both directions so I will not be doing a river assault directly into Anking. And yes, the hex side indicator is useful in telling whether troops MAY be in a hex. I have been burned more than once when they appeared empty.

As for the Atoll-Jima, tactically you are completely correct in your assesment of how to take one down. However, in this case I did not expect CD guns to be in place which messed up the initial assault really bad. I lost 1/2 a division to disablement and he has over 20 individual units on the Atoll including lots and lots of artillery. I should have been more careful scouting the area before landing.

I could spend a lot of air assets and naval assets and reduce his effectiveness by bombardment and eventually win the island.

However, strategically what I needed and what was critical was to get only 1 base in the Kuriles as a bridge between Shikuka and the Aleutian islands because otherwise moving planes back and forth was going to require a naval taxi service that I did not want. So, I secured Ketoi-Jima and thus Onnekotan-Jima is not anywhere near as important.

Once the other island is level 5 airfield I can bomb the atoll to my hearts content.

The task force you see on the east side of the picture will be landing at Ketoi-Jima this next turn and unloading air support and anti-aircraft units. It has already reached level 1 and can go to level 5. Once the transports are empty they will pick up the 2 divisions in trouble on Onnekotan-Jima and transport them to Shikuka for R&R before being deployed on an amphibious assault on the island of Hokkaido. - Havent even started prepping for this but it will be December/Jan likely before I move unless he doesnt have anything defending the island. Want to try to take Toyohara first.

So, in this case I am not going to try to hold on and I am going to back off. This is unlike at Babeldaob where I have artillery superiority and am willing to sit and bomb him until his supply dries up.
