The Accidental War Obvert vs Lowpe

You should be fine unless he has spent the PP's to replace the Singer commander, which I doubt. I suspect far less that 10K casualties ...

I bet he did. I would in this game.

*sends a small prayer for Lowpe to the RNG God*

Thanks,[&o].

As long as the destroyed devices isn't too high...I will take it. Hopefully all the artillery will help, and start draining Singers of supplies.

Tough call, lets see. And if he did, you still have the Gary roll and you might still win it. [;)]

Chungking already?!

Edit - oh, wait. I get what you mean.

Singers

I have two more divisions forming north of Singers, and they will be able to replace two beat up divisions. I plan on making the base to the north a r&r base and simply cycle units in and out.

It bothers me that I don't have air superiority, and will be unable to keep the base damaged to prevent fort repairs. I am working on eliminating Singers from getting resupply as best I can. The Allies have 80k troops plus 200 planes there, and I have isolated Singers early in the game (I think) so he can't have unlimited supply there.

I suspect I will have the turn in a few hours and we shall see the carnage.

Rivers of blood at Singers...can our bridgehead hold?

[Lowpe]

Northern Sumatra...

[Lowpe]

Pretty frustrating here in Manchuko...my rail network is not working despite no obvious roadblocks to destinations.

Ouch. The Singapore defenders seem to have quite a lot of AFV's. And if I'm reading right, your engineers failed to reduce the fortifications. Perhaps a few rounds of bombardment are in order?

[PaxMondo]

ouch, you called it. well over 10K casualties ... he must have replaced the leadership.

[Lowpe]

I will be lucky not to be shocked out...

[Alfred]

The odds favour Japan surviving an Allied shock attack at Singapore to retain the bridgehead.  With the exception of the IJA 4th div, the remaining infantry looks to be in fair shape.  The Allied armour present is weak and the Indian infantry is very poor.  The two Australian bdes are the real hammers in any Allied counterattack and of those one has incurred substantial losses already and the other is not fresh.

Ouch. Do you have follow up troops ?

[Lowpe]

I have most of 2 more divisions still forming up, and they will head in.

4th Division will head out to recover.

All of the artillery is in excellent shape.

The remaining 4 infantry divisions, some excellent 90 exp troops, unfortunately have 90% disruption. Morale is strong in the high 80s.

There is the hope that the British do counter attack and it goes badly for them which it might with all the artillery present. I have seen that happen before...

[Encircled]

Obvert is too good a player to risk a shock attack I think.

[Canoerebel]

Yeah, Erik will know that the IJ divisions still have a fair amount of AV. He won't be certain about disruption, though he'll have ideas. But his most sobering thought will be: If I shock attack and fail, I'll have weakened my own forces so much that they'll fall two or three weeks earlier than they otherwise would have.

We both trade merchant ships...IJN gets one off California, and Soviets get one off Hokkaido.

[Lowpe]

Two bombardment fleets go on against the Soviet shore batteries here...449 guns fired in defense, and the IJN gets a little roughed up. 30 system damage on the Kinugasa.

[Lowpe]

Singers bridgehead across the river is most likely safe! Beasties visit the runway at Georgetown...this is most likely presaging a major Allied offensive aimed at Singers or the environs.

Sabang features a heavy number of ships, and 50 fighters.



Only a 1/1 DL on Georgetown and the 4 destroyer 2 heavy cruiser force there. But the two crusiers are damaged and in no position to fight.

More beasts fly into Palembang...
