A nice bombing run Butte...and their 400+ resources. Many hits reported!

There is actually not much on naval strike for the Empire, but here are some Vals flying unopposed against two destroyers near the coastline.

We have survived thru the morning phase....what will the afternoon phase bring?
RE: Manila Falls
Allied subs are gathering...
A Kate also hits a Destroyer...but normally these attacks are the wild exaggerations of the pilots.

RE: Manila Falls
An afternoon visit by the Val squadron (16 planes from a CVE) visit the Allied destroyers again with no CAP.
Monaghan is left on fire with damaged devices;
Worden has heavy fires;
Hull is stricken with heavy fires and heavy damage.
Very, very good! Where is is the Allied fighters? Surely they will be around tomorrow.

RE: Manila Falls
Chungking suffers 1,000 losses to aerial bombing and from a very nice artillery bombardment.
We must not forget this is a multi-prong attack against the Allies!

RE: Manila Falls
Japan picks up another 150 points from strategic bombing; and the paratroopers up north are still holding while other airborne attacks & landings are planned for the morrow.
A big day coming up.

RE: Manila Falls
One big boneheaded move mars an otherwise great day!
But, I won't let it get me down, or alter my plan...we are pushing thru and sticking to the plan. There is but one focus at HQ!
I just wanted to point out that Japan has not lost a ship, or even have one damaged yet because of the invasion. One Iboat has 13 system and 37 flooding damage, but that is all that I spot. Our carrier planes stand ready, and soon they will be joined by 10 land based Sentai's. Camp Pendleton has a size 6 air base, while Port Hueneme sports a size 8 and perhaps both can be taken very shortly.
Only one battleship and one heavy cruiser did surface bombardments so the ammo lockers are full to bursting. Only 1 Val squadron attacked, twice, so carrier sorties are strong.
In very good shape overall, what do you guys think?
PS: 18 Allied units in LA in heavy urban terrain...I doubt I can take the city, especially with my boneheaded accidental landings today, but I will certainly be fighting there. SL is 160,000. Although I don't yet know with certainty what is there, I think San Diego is doomed.
PS: Don't worry you AFBs'! I am sure to lose plenty in the upcoming weeks...

RE: Manila Falls
Happy birthday, US Army.
I will take my time today on the turn, and hopefully avoid stupid mistakes. I feel like a noob, well, this game does do that to you.[:)]
In other news, prayers and thoughts appreciated today, as my son is fighting for 3rd place at his Army's base in front of all the top brass. A cage match no less, with shorts and very thin fingerless gloves.
Pretty much no rules, no ankle leglocks but other than that punches, kicks, whatever, win by submission pretty much. He had a very disappointing loss yesterday early in the tourney when the rules where still basic Army personal combatives and had not advanced to Pankration or MMA.
So I will be majorly distracted again today, but for now I am going to let the game sit and ponder it for awhile, rather than injuries.[:)] Fair enough?

RE: Manila Falls
Good luck to your son today.. I read both AAR's so I can't comment on the game, except to say it is surely fascinating watching this invasion unfold.

RE: Manila Falls
You landed on San Clemente Island which is, ironically, the USN gunnery range for the West Coast. There may be a few goats to eat and some yellowtail offshore. Santa Barbara is pretty nice though.[:)]
RE: Manila Falls
Oh boy. That's why I always set to Do Not Unload until I'm ordering them to the beaches.
RE: Manila Falls
Turn is off to Jocke, and he will be gleeful at my very stupid mistake at San Clemente. What can I say, all those San's seem alike to Imperial Japanese HQ!
We are off and moving...should be an interesting turn.
