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

Why shock at Chungking? It'll be months to get the disablements ready again.

A shock for me is when I know I already have an advantage, and generally with smaller troop number than you have there.

At SD you'll be going in with a DA to start, right? [;)]

The division that closed the river/road hexside moved north across the river and thus was the only shocking unit. All other units deliberate attacked or bombarded except for one division I held back.

[Lowpe]

More ship movements by the Allies...

Ah, in this case the casualty numbers were great, IMO - shows progress. Without that shocking division, you would've had comparable casualties. Too bad about the forts, but his units got really beat up and won't be recovering much.

[Lowpe]

I got the replay of to Jocke, and it will probably take me all day to flip the turn...synch bug hit us this day according to Jocke.

Three fresh fighter squadrons arrived at Santa Ana...but I need to get more troops into LA as the Allies are really bringing in the reinforcements.

On the positive side, there are a few less PT boats to worry about.

[Rio Bravo]

Lowpe-

I'm having fun following both your and Joc's AAR's.

Best Regards,

Right. I remember seeing that moving there in one of the maps above. Cool.

How much are you sending to LA and when will the new units arrive?

[Lowpe]

Shocking into Chungking....painful, but something you have to do.

I used a division. I know other players will shock across with a recon tank regiment, but I just think the division makes more sense. Just play style.

I have spent almost 0 points on leaders, but this guy has a tough reputation for following proper administration...might have to bite the bullet and switch him out.

Today the 2nd Tank, an machine cannon AA unit (woohoo!) and some 24cm Howitzers made it in.

Tomorrow there should be: more 24cm guns and a mess of 10cm guns; the following day will see the 12th ID arrive, and then a mess of rapid fire AT guns, 16th ID, more artillery and AA.

May dispatch another ID there too.

[Lowpe]

Turn is a way and off to the Allies...getting pretty hairy, here!

So many things are happening, hard to keep it straight.

[Lowpe]

Jocke tells me he is heading out on vacation at the end of the week, no turns for at least one week.

I really need the breather, as I have so much to do...but I also would like to really progress in my other game in that time frame too, so that will be my focus during the Allied Vacation.

In game news, I will be upgrading my first squadron to Oscar IIIa. I know Lok doesn't like the plane, but this is pdu off and it is important.

Over Santa Ana I flew a split CAP yesterday...some planes at 30K. Today, I have lowered them all to under 10K. I am also providing more planes and have engagement range set to 1 to cover LA. Here is hoping!

Well, you do you with those PDU Off games, man [:'(]. It's better than the Oscar-II, that's for sure.

Newbe ignorance here, but, is this good or bad, and how do you know this?

[HansBolter]

An Administration skill of 36 will slow the recovery of disabled squads.

The leader is a great fighter with 68 Aggression and 72 Land Combat, but weak on looking after the daily needs of his troops.

[Lowpe]

Thanks, Hans for answering that[&o]...and since that division is trashed that is important now.

At LA...engagement starts at 3000 yards, which might make PT boat fights tough this night...

[Lowpe]

The damaged Tsuta eats a torpedo. She was hanging out at Santa Ana putting the small fires out before disbanding to port...

Although, she is still alive, for now...

[Lowpe]

Two hits on an AKV at Santa Ana and down she goes...

The Tsuta sinks too...

[Lowpe]

The Americans don't attack....[X(]

I figured I had a chance that the Americans would really juggle their fighter pilots and I suspect this is the case and it takes up to a week to get the squadrons straightened out and set up.

Over at Chungking, we continue to hammer the Chinese.

[Lowpe]

Ship losses for the day...noticeably fewer sub attacks today.

The DMS wandered in and cleared mines at LA...and the CD guns found her.

[Lowpe]

The AKV had already unloaded her planes...
