Losses...

Finally catch the Dutch bombers...

[Lowpe]

Boxed are night bombing losses to Russians in Manchuko.

Japan's advantage in night surface combat is going away due to all those bombardment runs. There cannot be too many repair shipyards safe from 4e bombers right now.

I have I think hit once with a Long Lance torpedo the entire game. I have lost every battle, even when I significantly outnumbered the Allies or Soviets.

I recall discussions about the 'recalabrated' torpedos in this mod.
They didn't like the term 'nerfed'.

May 25 1942

Night bombing continues at a torrid pace with 2E bombers from SRA to Manchuko.

Goodbye Ise and another cruiser.

Sink three in two engagements

[Lowpe]

Lightning sweeps followed by beast strikes. Fighters pretty much ineffective.

This is getting ugly. [:(] Maybe it shows just how fragile the Japanese war machine really was: if anything serious went wrong, recovery was extremely difficult or even impossible.

[ny59giants]

The battles at sea are really hurting Japan right now. The Allied war economy is still in 1st gear and hasn't truly been felt yet.

I do agree that Japan was more fragile in '42 than many players think.

I'm guessing that he doesn't care if he loses most, if not all of the RN at this point - since it will be the US production which will carry the weight down the road.

With Japan's fragile economy & no space to trade for time, this is going to be really, really ugly - but incredibly fun at the same time (to watch, at least).

You are just figuring out this now? I forgot to mention my 1-5 result on Mindanao.

I think he was willing to lose all at start forces, air, land and naval. It is scenario one so the risk of auto victory is remote.

Everything is hurting Japan right now. Plus, I am likely throwing more ships away tomorrow.
