History repeats itself, almost

[freeboy]

ok, early June now apx 65k to 112k 18 k and counting...Tokyo is surrounded and osaka..
My darn supplies are not flowing to well where I want them, stupid game AURGH! ok my new number one wish for WIPT2 is ..... supply control, and more surface action hehehehe
I just grounded one group of planes for extreme exhustion, but they have been leveling cities, and the heavies are awesome in groups over 1000 including nearly 500 B29's
BTW Tokyo itself is a 15k add to the allies, plus a small deduction from the Japs bases total...

[freeboy]

65k 112.6k 06 03 45 Burn baby burn seen is the fires and destruction in Tokyo.. I do not believe the game is giving me 20 points for destroyed factories, but who cares...

[freeboy]

In a surprise move, forces crossing into Gumma lunched a surprise attack, evene the HQ was surprised as no attack was ordered! Its the new rules of war causing Shock attacks accross rivers...
Note I thought that havingmy troops in the hex stopped the Ground combat at

Gumma

Allied Shock attack

Attacking force 415992 troops, 2898 guns, 1937 vehicles

Defending force 72525 troops, 546 guns, 8 vehicles

Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 0

Allied assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 0)

Allied forces CAPTURE Gumma base !!!
is.WOW GUMMA FALLS

now Tokyo is next and VICTORY

[freeboy]

06 09 1945 Tokyo attacked, although forces sufferred heavily, the engeniers reduced the defences from 9 to level 8, literally thousands of artillery and planes now are attacking those ground units... daily.. do not see how they can last for long.. no industry resource cut off from all other bases and I have a large army in Tokyo score apx 65k 114k

[marky]

ur a heartbeat away from victory

i salute u ~S~

on to VICTORY![&o]

[freeboy]

After Tokyo falls, and there are are Many enemy troops there250000k, I think we will start to see some troops dieing between Tokyo and Osaka, I estimat close to 700k enemy combatents.. lots of points.

[Tom Hunter]

Just out of curiosity is there anything that Z can do to score points and put off the end?

[freeboy]

yes, he can inflict loses on US troops by having as much supplies stockpiled... but at this point Tokyo is a cutt off area as is Osaka, nothing getting in at all.. he is launching kami raids buyt his losses are high, and the effects are seldom good... a few ak sunk

currently the score has not moved in the few days to mid June, but the defenses of Tokyo are down to Fort level 7, and I am resting a few days to save my troops from the terrible effects of attacking with both high fatigue and disruption, I am ok with the fatigue but the disruption must be lower than 50 and closer to 20 the MUCH better it is, his troops are really suffering as my big 150 mm guns and thousands of planes are pounding them daily, and the BB group ran a Bombard mission with a "reported" enemy losses around 38k! we all know those are a fantasy!

To really answer your ?, if he could mount an assault with the Korean troops aimed at India.. not gonna happen or someplace else, it would hurt my score. but he has limited supplies, at least he should as I bombed all the Industry and resources in China and JApan to dust in 44. So, he must attempt to hold and fight ..

As you can see my kami's had no chance to get off of the ground here. This always happens to me.

"This always happens to me" Exciept a few days ago when he sunk a carrier a cvl and damaged a bunch more, problem with kamis is they COST alot of points dead, and you never know if they will actual sink anything, I have seen lowely ak's take two hits and steam back, dameged to port..

TOKYO FALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the end is near as the Army of the Empire, refusing to surrender for fear of reprisals for the attrocities of WAR, soon there will be no more home land and Japan MUST SURRENDER.. nearing the 2-1 with those 15000 points for Ja[pan, plus 500k troops totally cut off hteir and Osake ... day and maybe weeks and then the end!
My foe fought so much better at sea than I , I evened the game in the air and sweepiong through the South, bi-passing the hard points to OKI I have managed to keep my goal, non use iof the A bomb, donnot want those commies to get ahold of it like they will the jet tech!!!

Thanks to all our avid readers... we salute you all!!!

It happens when I move to place and you attack the airfield, In Korea they went on the turn I moved them there, but at Osaka they stayed on the ground and got pounded.

[Speedysteve]

Amazing guys. It is possible to finish a campaign of this thing then [;)]

TOKYO FALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! What is the date of Tokyo's fall? How is the mopping up going in China/Korea - or has that been put on hold for the big invasion of the home islands?

[Zeta16]

Well the game has end on the count of a 2 to 1 allied lead in points. Great game and fun to play. Here is the score screen

[Zeta16]

Jap plane loses

[Zeta16]

Allied plane loses

[Zeta16]

Jap top pilots, as you can see most are now dead.

[Zeta16]

Jap planes left in my pools at the end.

[CapAndGown]

Interestingly, the number of allied planes lost is greater than Japans, even in the Air to Air category. Zeta did a great job of managing his air assets.
