Japanese Unit(s) surrounded at Uruppu-jima

Mike McCreery · Post by **Mike McCreery** » Tue Jan 13, 2015 8:00 pm

November 4, 1944

His actions in China are puzzling. He withdrew 4 units from Sian leaving the light industry to move units east yet left 35 units and almost 90,000 troops in Hankow and simply let me cut the rail line and essentially surround them without pulling any of them out. Maybe he has troops moving east along the road, that is my only explanation for that.

I dont know or understand the supply situation in Korea and/or Manchuria. It would have made a lot more sense to me if he moved his lines back to the edge of Manchuria and those cities up there rather than leave them behind my lines to be cut off and killed. Maybe they are restricted units? Wouldnt prevent garrisoning them up near Manchuria...

I was looking forward to asking NJP many questions in this game but I fear that our concurrent game possibly prevents this from happening.

Yikes! What a knife fight - with both sides bleeding heavily!

Looks to me like he has written off continental Asia and his troops there and is putting all his effort into smashing your invasions of Home Islands.

November 1944

Creeping doom from the West... AKA too many holes in the dyke...

NJP has been valiantly trying to defend the small islands west of Japan from the Allied horde. Again, my success lies in attacking multiple targets and overwhelming him. He is a good player but cannot focus on everything at once.

When my first assault went I had 4 islands targeted. NJP managed to do a surface attack that sent the 8th USN forces back home damaged. However, I still gained 3 of the islands. Then over a period of days NJP was able to capture one of them back. But by that time I have secured my foothold and gained a level 1 airfield. Also, I managed to land a regiment to back up the parachute forces so now I have 200 AV. He cannot move me from there with less than a division, probably 2.

The island to the west has been largely unmolested and is 51% toward a level 1 airfield.

Since he managed to destroy a pile of CVE's a week or so ago his airforce has dwindled. He is wearing thin. Not that the tiger isnt still dangerous.

The 3 bases on open terrain on the western side of Japan are the landing zones for all of my troops. An assault on this end of the island is not imminent. I need to build up the base(s) I have next to japan and expand on that.

November 1944

Creeping doom from the East...

Kunashiri was not occupied. NJP figured that he had the forward islands covered and this one right next to Japan probably did not need defending. Well.... It is 72% to lvl 1 airfield. This is going to give me sweep and bombing capability over bihoro.

I have 5 divisions just itching to do some damage. An assault on Bihoro is coming. Probably within a month, maybe much sooner.

Important transports are heading for Shikuka. NJP picked a good time to harass my shipping and put torpedoes in my CV's. If those transports arrive intact it means something like 500+ AVS for Shikuka and mass superfortress groups ready to hit Japan in the tender places.

Mike McCreery · Post by **Mike McCreery** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 9:49 am

China is going extremely well. It lead me to thinking...

Has anyone forced an early Russian entry into the war simply by killing enough troops in Manchuria to cause the Japanese player to drop below 8K troops?

It could be an interesting strategy.

BBfanboy · Post by **BBfanboy** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 1:53 pm

Haven't seen anyone get in a position to move into Manchukuo other than with Russian forces after activation.
Interesting idea for sure - but might be tough because he can concentrate that 8000 AV wherever he likes in that area.
I recall one player fighting the IJA in northern China, up against the Russian border. At my urging he tried to force it to retreat across the border to trigger Soviet activation, but didn't have enough units to cover the hex sides and it slipped away. If it was trapped, it may have never retreated that way anyway - dying in place instead of crossing the border.
