October 24, 1944

China is collapsing in on itself. There are 4 pockets of resistance behind the lines in western China not considering Canton & Hong Kong.

NJP Just gave up Wuchang it has level 4 forts. Maybe the supply situation in the area is critical. My assault on Haichow was sucessful and I have jumped ahead of his forces again. Wenchow just fell this turn and will become the new Amoy for ship resupply within a month.

I opened the floodgates on resupply to chinese units and they used up nearly 2000 spare squads and emptied out all the reserves. Supply is getting tight due to factories repairing as well but I have hundreds of thousands of tons of supply on the way.

The plan is to have the Chinese move through and take over all the garrison positions of the american, british and indian forces and have them prep for an invasion of Japan.

Yellow Sea October 1944

I sailed up to Haichow but neglected to get my main carrier force up there because the waterway is too small so it rejected the command on multiple turns which I did not see happening.

When I saw NJP was bringing what amounted to his whole navy I figured I had better defend myself well. My 4 CVE's had 8 destroyers attached and I decided that the destroyers wouldnt do that much good if the carriers got caught so I broke off 6 destroyers in pairs of 2 and had them patrol in front of Haichow.

I put another light cruiser fleet directly in front of Haichow and embedded cruisers with the transports.

The plan worked pretty well with only a few transports getting hit in action.

I have 2 major carrier groups moving west along the north side of Japan where a large force will land at Oki Shoto tomorrow. The carriers may continue west to take on the remains of his fleet.

October 26, 1944

NJP's ominous message was confirmed... Ugh... I took a serious beating at Oki Shoto. I was not aware that airgroups could coordinate so many times together and of course Oki Shoto is in the middle of Japanese territory.

6 CVE's are sunk, 9 more are in harbor at Oki Shoto but they are not going to make it anywhere as they are totaled.

The bright side of the day saw Nagato take 4 torpedoes and go to the bottom. Maybe this time for real!!

I was angry with myself this morning for losing all those carriers. However, I looked at the situation and realized that I had achieved my objective of delivering 2 divisions plus support troops to an island just off the Japanese coast. It might be a bit tricky to get away however, there are plenty of opportunities as well. Many of the fragmented air groups landed at Oki-Shoto so that is something. Also, carriers are becoming less necessary. Right now NJP is sailing around with his carriers and 3 cruisers but I am afraid to launch attacks because my bombers will get shredded by LBA as usual.

On the real life side NJP and I have decided to continue this game while starting a second game scenario 2 DBB. My plan is still to be sort of reckless (LOL!!) in this game by putting troops ashore on the island of Japan while probably not as prepped as necessary.

Before the disastrous last turn I was at .47 ahead of NJP. I need to get to 1.00 for 1945 and I am guessing it would put me into March or April if I wanted to play cautious.

With the bulk of his troops trapped in China and Formosa I think it is possible to do the land invasion. Most troops in China are prepping for 3 beaches in western Japan based on their nationality. The USA and most of the armor is targeted for Shimenoseki to cut the island in half. Chinese troops have emptied out of Chungking and are flowing through the continent to relieve the british, indian and american forces.

The British and Australians are targeted for the 2 clear city hexes on the western side of Japan.

Also, troops at Shikkuka are training for the middle of the island on the north side.

Most of the troops that took over Singapore are loading on transports now for transport to Manila and then training/posturing for the land invasion. Just those troops alone are close to 3K AV.

His carriers are largely irrelevant this close to his home turf and the crap that he is sending at me for surface fleets indicates that those 3 cruisers are about the best he has got and maybe a dozen destroyers for escorts.

I should take 3 more islands on the western side of japan this turn, it is a risky move and I am planning on losing ships but I am just a fool afterall ;]

Welcome to the end-game, where the air-intercept model goes completely in the crapper.....

I made several fundamental mistakes. I should never have left my CVE's directly in the base. It was strange that absolutely no planes went for my other 2 CV task forces which I purposely put at the island of Tsushima just southwest of Fusan.

Many of the flights that hit my carriers originated from there and flew 5 hexes to attack the CVE's rather than fly 1 hex to attack the carriers.

His coordination was beautiful. I dont want to take anything away from that!!

War is war... The pain is already fading as I plan my next assaults :]

Ouch! Your CVE's took a lot more than one for the team!
One of the things I wanted to see in this late-war period was how effective massed Kamikazes would be against an invasion force. If not for the presence of your CVEs, I think a lot more of your troops would be arriving dripping wet, without equipment or ammo.
Thanks to you and your opponent we get a rare look at what Japan can still do when nearly isolated.

Invading several islands on the West side of Japan is less exciting than the leap to Oki Shoto, but it is looking a lot more supportable right now.

So you lost a bunch of CVEs, they are expendable, and you got the troops and hopefully tons of supplies ashore, and it is only 44 still.

Now you can cut your teeth on a scen 2 variant in your next game...[:D]
