Lambs to the slaughter (Lowpe (J) vs Jocke; BillBrown (A)) Finished

[Lowpe]

Bringing in the big girls?

[Lowpe]

This is why you always double check your Captains![X(]

I have two Nagara class CLs at Ramree undetected. I am not a Nagara fanboy, but they have their uses especially as anti-Fletcher ships later on.



Almost twice the penetration of the 12.7cm guns.

[Lowpe]

I am adding about 10k supply a turn...

Fuel stocks stand shy of 7 million...and improving.

Oil getting better with Lanchow repairing steadily...still short a little less than 3k a day --stands at 3.5 million.

HI has topped 600K.

Vehicles at 35K; production 232 which is high for me...but I am expecting a bloodbath.

First Frank A factories are 2/3rd repaired....steady daily research into A6M5b, Oscar III, Ki61-Id, Ki44IIc, and J2M3. All but the Tony have the engine bonus.[:)]

[Lowpe]

Not spotted. I may make it in time...

Mid Nov, 1942

Deliberate attack at Silchar. No ground bombing prior.

I added one heavy artillery unit, and the results improved remarkably. Only 8 15cm artillery pieces. Supply is a concern.

I have the 17th Guards Regiment in reserve no pursuit mode, and they have yet to be activated. Morale 93, Experience 58. I will probably put them on the front lines and rotate a disrupted unit in reserve no pursuit mode.

I will also fly in more supply.

[Lowpe]

I still have 3 fast battleships at Singers, and I keep wondering if I should sortie them to pound the Allied army at Chittagong.

And every day I say no.

They will be some of the last ships to depart for the West Coast Operation since they are so speedy, and at least for now they act as a counter balance for the British.

I plan on showing all three just prior to leaving for the West Coast, so it will happen shortly.

But I don't want any of them to run a foul of a torpedo, or even a surface fight unless the opportunity is great.

Mid Nov 1942

Just like farming.[;)]

[Lowpe]

Sonia, the work horse day in day out.[:)]

[Lowpe]

I have three or four squadrons of Oscars working them over too.

[Lowpe]

They just aren't very happy in China.

Tanks to the right of me! Tanks to the left of me! [:D]

[Lowpe]

Something will most likely happen here.

[Lowpe]

Mid Nov, 1942

Back to Portland.

[Lowpe]

Daily visit to Cloncurry

[Lowpe]

Oscars strafing.[:)] Just part of a maximum aerial assault on Sian today. Tired of fighting for it. Need to move on to Chungking and Chengtu.

[Lowpe]

Victory. [:)]

[Lowpe]

Upgrading to Judy, Tony, more Zekes.

Oscars are pretty much done upgrading, and I will be going into the West Coast Operation with a stockpile of 300. 150 Tojo IIa in stockpile, and will have 150 Tojo IIb in pools. 5.3 full squadrons of Tojos for with all but one going to the West Coast.

All Oscar squadrons that were bombing and strafing in China are now heading for the upcoming offensive.

On Dec 1 we start producing Lilly divebombers, and they will all go to the SRA. Squadrons are already earmarked with 70 skill naval bombing Army pilots.

Allies bombing Chittagong almost every day...another battle at Silchar and forts are knocked down again. Still,I have hopes of holding for a while yet as the odds are 1-1 with 20% in reserve no pursuit.

[Lokasenna]

Oh my. That's a lot of dead Chinese.

[Lowpe]

ORIGINAL: Lokasenna

Oh my. That's a lot of dead Chinese.

They have no other purpose, but to die at my hand.[:D]

End of November, 1942

The 4 patrol craft circled below sank an I boat yesterday. It is a long run, but I have set up a trap, with the Iboats all concentrating, and a destroyer squadron making the long run to meet them.

I have high hopes that those ships will be destroyed...

[Lowpe]

Banzai!



All sunk.[:)] I know the Lawrence, Clive and Indus - but what the heck is a Yandra? Funny looking ship that went down really fast.
