WOW![X(] Mogami did you use your Philipine Scouts for that slap in the face for the Sons of Nippon? Or did your feed your Philipine milita their Wheaties this morning?

[mogami]

Hi, No my troops are eating SPAM but the Japanese had Rice Crispies. What no mention of the Dutch hitting IJN CV? My great air attack? geez tough crowd.[X(]

[Deathifier]

Well it was a nice attack, however how many aircraft do you have left to try again?

Now if those 2 CV sank it'd be a different story

[mogami]

Moulmein did not even act like a speed bump. Rather then retreat the 2 Bde surrendered. Now the defense of Rangoon is hopeless. I have to pull the airgroups out of the SRA and leave the Dutch to fend for themselves (There will be a few US and Austrailan groups as well)

[Mr.Frag]

I was quite surprised. I think I brought too many troops. See you in Mandalay shortly. [;)]

[mogami]

I'm going to keep Japanese POW's in Chinese camps to repair the damage they've done.
(not Mandalay)(it's too early for you to surrender)

Mogami, great work on the carriers there. ok, none sunk but everylittle bit helps. At least one seems to be a little bit damaged (the Kaga). probably will turn home for repairs shortly, taking her out for a little time.
What forces do you have left in the Burma area? There should be the rangoon garrison and a few chinese units hanging around. And what is left in india?

Hi Mogami, Far be for me to dictate strategy but aren't you throwing in the towel a bit prematurely? Afterall IIRC, all allied fighter reinforcement was historically either shipped in crated on AKs or ferried in on the Indomitable. This is possible in the game.... Yes?

I was under the impression that the pretext of this particular test was the Allies being ordered to hold the SRA at all cost. I know thats not your particular style but Rangoon isnt quite lost yet. Doesnt Frag still have a rather long march and where is the Indian 17th Diviion?

Again I apologize if I am being persumptious. Its not my intent. I am actually just trying to get an idea on whats possible and what isnt in the game so I can start formulateing my own strategies.

Thanks

[Mr.Frag]

[:D]

Tim, Mogami figured I'd do the standard kick a brigade loose from dealing with Singapore to go up north. Due to some silly issues chasing one of his fleeing Base units, my plans changed and I ended up with 3 divisions + armor heading north.

He tried to stop me, but it was just a little road kill. Just to be crystal clear, EVERY TROOP IN INDIA ALL IN ONE HEX could not stop what is heading to Rangoon/Mandalay.

You'll note in the last turn, I had to hurt one of my divisions to cut off the escape from Rangoon. I wasn't letting them out after running all the way up here. I'll stop at Diamond Harbor ... maybe [:'(]

[mogami]

He won't get into India. (he'll run out supply) The Problem with Rangoon is forces defending it cannot retreat out of it. I am fighting for the SRA but Rangoon is not in the SRA.
I've recaptured southern Luzon and should wipe out all Japanese at Legaspi this turn. Then I will have a few div to move north to help defend Manila and Clark.

Sure I won't [:D] Keep telling yourself that [:D] "He can't get to India" [:D] "He just can't" [:D]

See anything stopping me? I just *ate* your second road block [:'(]

PI will be dealt with shortly enough. As far as the SRA, we'll get there, we'll get there. Nothing but time. I have another month before I start getting even remotely concerned.

[mogami]

Hi, The troops required for defending Rangoon are not ready. (I'm not being a McClellan here)

14th Ind Div (32/40) meaning 40 percent of TOE present with 32 percent ready 102 assault value
17th Ind Div (27/38) (73 AV)
18th UK Div (100/100) just arrived Karachi (342 assault value)
23rd Ind Div (31/34) (114 AV)
20th Ind Div (23/38) (59AV)
63rd Ind Bde (64/100) (68AV)
48th Ind Bde (64/100) (77AV)

I'm about to lose the 13th and 16th Ind Bde at Rangoon because I waited too long to retreat.

That will leave 835 AV (increasing over time as supply arrives) to prevent Japanese movement into India. (I think this is more then enough)
