Turnaround? Lowpe (J) vs Tiemanj (A) Stock

[Lowpe]

Tanks...

[Lowpe]

No major shore bombardments yet, did the Allies try to time them for during the afternoon?

No damage at Tinian, and Rota CD guns score some hits!

[Lowpe]

Port Blair is swept by 50 Georges and then Betties hit the port...starting to be slim pickings here.

[Lowpe]

Judies escorted by some Zeroes fight their way thru and find some LSTs.

[Lowpe]

An afternoon run hits another LST.

[Lowpe]

On the Tuang Gui Road east and a little north of Chiang Mai...

[Lowpe]

Way to many planes at Guam...and I thought for sure he would bomb there. Shucks, but the runway is pristine now, but supply can't keep pace with all the planes.

[Lowpe]

Would be nice if the Anzio went down, but don't hold your breath.

Not one midget even launched a torpedo.[:(] But we will keep trying.[:)]

The dot base can be swept. [:)] There were some Hellcats on LRCAP over it in one of the screens.

Shock attack is only on atolls ans island size 1 and 2
Not sure how big those island are, or they are atolls.?

I think at least some of the northern islands are. But none of the 4 southern ones. Can´t check though as I don´t have the game installed [:(]

[Lowpe]

Almagan is Island size two, everything else bigger.

Sweep:

»» Sweep – In this Mission the aircraft attempt to draw enemy CAP over the target
hex into an air to air engagement. If the group attacks at 100’, the planes will
also attempt to strafe the target if CAP does not drive them off. Squadrons are
limited to one Fighter Sweep per day; if weather keeps the fighters from flying
a Sweep Mission in the morning, they will be eligible to fly one in the afternoon.

-- Anybody ever just sweep over an ocean hex?

Only enemy base or nonbase hex with enemy troops can be sweep. (not sure about empty land hex of nonbasehex with only friendly troops)
Sweeping ocean hex or friendly base is impassible

Still, nothing is very strong. Guam, Tinian and Saipan have a division plus support units behind lvl 5 forts. And they aren't great divisions at that.

Rota has but 2 Naval Guards, a CD unit, some Eng and only level 3 forts (soon to be 4 if I get a few more days)...it was slated to get a division in about 2 weeks. [:(]

Rota will fall quickly and Tinian may last a little longer depending on the first series of dice rolls. I would make 'appropriate' sacrifices to 'dice gods' today. [:D]

[Lowpe]

Heads up for you other Japanese games in mid to late 43...several garrison units go away. I think this can catch some players by surprise -- so heads up!
