The Accidental War Obvert vs Lowpe

[Lowpe]

So disappointing.

[Lowpe]

Ok, maybe not the end of the world a strike wasn't launched....

[Lokasenna]

That might be a record on single day Seagull losses at sea.

[Lowpe]

Up to a whopping 83 AV at Phnom...

Soc Trang falls to 300 soldiers...but I guess they activate some militia.

[Lowpe]

1st and 2nd activate...2nd at Haiphong.

[jwolf]

Those surface fights generally went your way. Moderate IJN victory in my opinion. But too little, too late. It's infuriating that the KB missed a golden opportunity on those Allied fleets outside of Cam Ranh Bay.

Was if weather or strong CAP which caused the failure to launch?

I am at a conference and just haven't had time to finish the turn, and I did manage to do some of the turn...Allies moving forward in Burma near Lashio for example, but hjaven't looked at Saigon area other than to look at the damage to the battleships (all sys, and highest one about 28 some with none).

Japan is in such a world of hurt because the Allies have soo many units from my inability to destroy anything.

I do think the invasion force was aimed at Quinhon and not Cam Ranh Bay (unlike somebody else's coupe de main).[;)]

[Lowpe]

August 6, 1942

A picture of the night movements...

[Lowpe]

Another invasion...

[Lowpe]

Capetown sunk by Vals...

[Lowpe]

Ergh.

[Lowpe]

Nicks strafing the lead elements of the ABDA strike force...no AA present

[Lowpe]

32nd Division spotted...light damage inflicted, can the Imperial Guards get here before the base falls?

Again, bombers arrive prior to the sweeps...

[Lowpe]

Argh.

Afternoon strike whiffs.

[Lowpe]

Looking bad here...

[Lowpe]

Bad news here.

[Lowpe]

Hm. I don't understand.[:(]

[Lowpe]

Imperial Guards Division at Bangkok two days away...

100+ AV one hex north of Phnom...

[HansBolter]

I've had units in strat mode on rails stop one hex short of the destination hex that was contested multiple times in my current game.

Something changed to cause this because units are supposed to be able to rail into but not out of a contested hex.
