Um, you might want to check with Zeta about something I noticed in your write-ups here. Apparently, for at least the last two weeks or so, Zeta has tried to take that dot hex you mentioned, Dumaguete, and at the end of every day's report, he takes the base against no opposition, yet he has to repeat it the next day, and the next day, and the next...for a while there, I noticed transports of his unloading over the beach there, and yet the number of troops participating each day didn't seem to change (until about a couple days ago...was about 800-900, then to about 680, now 1500).
Anyway, an interesting strategy, though without your carriers, it becomes impossible to hold onto anything for more than a week or so once he turns an eye to it. I'm glad that this was brought back to life.
I don't quite get this. I have the base, but can not bulid on it for some reason even though I have at least 5 seabees there. They are there but can get no supply for some reason. It is a 0(2) base and the one next to it is a 0(3) base that is why I want them. So this last turn I loaded the seabees back onto ships and the all went on and now there is 10000 supply there but no troops. I can't win. They should have made a level one airfield by now. So I really have no clue what is going there oh well. Other than that he was got some licks in with his kami's and now his subs are hitting home well. I still have a long road to go and need a little luck too.
I just read that there is a fix in the new public beta (1.52) on the issue of attacking dot hexes. I assume this is what you are experiencing here.
Love & Peace,

I feal so dirty when I sink convoys with 4E bombers, makes porn feal wholsome. - Brady, Founding Member of the Japanese Fanboy Club
Well the subs are killing me. My surface group breaks for home and did not stay on patrol so his group got in and did some damage. If my groups stays those ships are hurt real bad as several BB's decide to leave without me telling them to. Then after the CV gets hit with the trops it breaks off and leaves its aircover, oh well the love of 2 day turns. I stil don't get the follow order in invansions. As if a group is to follow another but it get's done unloading first it leaves for home even when told to follow with patrol do not retire on. Another thing I have found since they put the no refueling from a russian base in I can not refuel my ships at Petro. since I recaptured it. Other than that things going well and to plan except his subs messing my plans and taskforces up with there deadly attacks. I have got the score down to less than 8000 and most of his points are in bases which I can get a lot of those back and may be win the game by 8/45 I have about a year to get this done.

Got lucky again with the ships. Will probably have even more battleships and heavy cruisers next time though as some are still being repaired. Hopefully we will see Yamato vs Iowa soon...
I think you can win before August 45. It depends on how long Japan can hold out before the firestorms start. I've just gotten Frank and Peggy production going (both start in August 44) and the emperor has hopes that this will be the divine wind that blows thunderstorms over the Allied ships.
Also my submarine building program will be given the highest priority and all incomplete carriers have been left to rot. These little sea dragons spit deadly streams of fire and have been known to swallow the giant steel turtles from America whole. My anti-sea dragon warfare ships are also being pushed out as fast as possible.

Probably a smart move. Already you have accomplished something beyond the historical: The Japanese never managed to sink an "Essex" class carrier.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Probably a smart move. Already you have accomplished something beyond the historical: The Japanese never managed to sink an "Essex" class carrier.
Yes - I figure every ship I can sink at this point is a bonus.

Yeah tell me I have sunk several in my game with freeboy. I have sank the two carriers twice.

Hi, Brutal. Simply Brutal. I think I would have landed on Mulaimen or Tavoy and marched to Rangoon.
Allied transports and troops are being used like spare change.
I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a different direction!
That can happen. One of my PBEM opponents is also expending Allied transports, landing craft and destroyers like crazy. Just because it's 1944, he thinks he can land wherever he wants without proper bombardments or air superiority.

Mulmein(sp) and Tavoy had garrisons too plus their ports are smaller (slower landing). The Japanese reserve in Burma is quite extensive.

Hi, OK they had garrisons too. As large as Rangoon? The size of the port does not matter. Unless they control the port. You unload over the beach at a size 10 port the same speed as a size 1 port if you don't control the port (and the port is not damaged)
In any event I think I would have marched. (found a safe place to land even Vicky Point or Georgetown) Before landing on major Japanese force.
You have to do this to take an Atoll. You don't have to do this to capture any base you can walk to.
I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a different direction!

Rangoon had a HQ, brigade, aviation unit, and construction brigade. Each of the places you are talking about have 1/3rd of a division. Most of the units at Rangoon now are part of the reserve.
