State of The War - September 1944

Most of the Japanese Army has been sealed in the Changsha pocket. There is a chance they could break out locally but very little chance for them to regain any sort of line in Western china.

I have almost 2000AV prepping to assault Manila within a week. Once the city falls those troops will be transported to Amoy to deploy to take out Hong Kong and then Canton.

It should be time to start making preparations for an amphibious assault on either Hokkaido or directly to the Home Island. I will have 7 divisions once Toyohara falls. The invasion could begin on or before the beginning of the year.

For Eastern China 2 more divisions will start unloading at Amoy next turn for deployment by strat move toward Shanghai. The objective is to isolate the city like Hong Kong so it cannot distribute any of the plentiful supply it generates. Once that is complete and the 58 light industry at Wenchow is overcome I do not think that supply will come easily to China.

Depending upon progress I should probably consider whether to assault either Formosa or Okinawa or both and/or plan some other form of assault possibly amphibious on the other end of the island.

My opponent has already mentioned the mopping up, etc. I am hesitant to put a major effort into planning all of these deployments without knowing how long the current game will last. NJP has already asked for a rematch and he is such a great player that I did not hesitate to accept. So, nothing will change but who is running from who for a while ;] In a game that lasts months or even years it is more important to enjoy the day to day play and planning rather than focus on overall winning or losing, that only happens in a moment of time at the end of the game.

Once again I would like to thank Alfred for putting into my head that China like all continental warfare is about strategic maneuvering. NJP was rather inflexible in his defense this game and I think it hurt him in certain places.

Nice job on Yamato. Those British cruisers must have some great experience/skill stats!

On another note, how can two CV fleets bump into each other in the day phase and not have an air duel afterward?

I can certainly speak for myself and make some educated guesses about NJP. NJP had his carriers lurking around the Shanghai area along with the remainder of his surface fleets for a bit of time. He is using the carriers as additional air base multiplyer in the area as he is using the naval planes for ground attack and defense.

Due to some of my settings being wrong I lost a lot of bombers to unescorted flights. Then NJP moved his carriers northeast for a day and I thought I was going to push him out so I put my carriers right next to Shanghai to do a port attack on the 66+ ships in there

NJP decided to move his carriers and surface combat fleets back into the bay that Shanghai is in. I am guessing he was trying to foil an amphibious assault that was never planned.

Finally the next day leaves him as we see him. He has probably lost 80-90% of his bombers as well as I have. My positioning and setup was just to be a plane magnet for any kamikazi and/or other aircraft in the area as my surface fleets retire. My settings were cap 100% range 0 with all of the bombers and torpedo planes stood down.

He probably didnt want to lose any more planes in fruitless small attacks on the carriers.

The objective on my part was twofold. To attrit his surface and carrier forces further and to get him away from the Shanghai area so I can prevent any supplies flowing from the home island to Shanghai. I am not sure I did enough damage to achieve the objectives so I am retiring to Amoy to reload and regroup and will sortie out again shortly.

Thanks for explaining the situation at Shanghai for me - never could have put together the pieces of the puzzle myself since it has developed over time.

Looks like Babeldaob should be cleared next time you attack. Always feels like progress to finish a mop-up.[:)]

You have sunk a lot of his fleet destroyers in the last few turns. That has to be hurting him. I noticed that Yamato had only E-class ships escorting.

You have sunk a lot of his fleet destroyers in the last few turns. That has to be hurting him. I noticed that Yamato had only E-class ships escorting.

The Yamato tangled with my fleet previously up near that area and took at least one torpedo and was reported sunk. My take on it was that the Yamato was likely in the shipyard in Shanghai getting repaired and NJP figured that sooner rather than later I was going to start attacking the port so he moved the already damaged ship and tried to get away with only an ASW escort as anything else would be hampered by the reduced speed of the damaged battleship. There is almost no other reason I can figure by that setup.

As you can see from the number of hits she took the 3 torps early and then got tattooed by my cruisers. I think she was already in bad shape at the beginning of the fight.

Good news for the readers and us players! It looks like we are going to go for a while. I am looking at the end of January 1945 with at least one amphibious landing on the home islands. Things are going to ramp up quickly on my side I hope.

I have a bunch of divisions and tank regiments in the process of crossing the river into Singapore as we speak. 3 days and the shock attack will happen and that will tell me a lot about the pace of the next 2 months of the war. Singapore hinges and then those troops go to Hong Kong and then Canton.

NJP is building up as close to the singapore/canton as possible and I know the supply there is a great draw. He might actually be able to break through and get to those cities. My objectives are further east.

I really liked Mr. Kane's choice of landing spots in Java for his campaign there. Some of the attractive features are giving me ideas about where to land on the home islands. NJP still has 100,000 troops and 1000 AFV's on Formosa which are not going to do him any good if he cant move them somehow. That leaves an opening.

I have 7 divisions that I can deploy to the east for an invasion so about 2500AV plus tanks and support troops. Points really are not a factor as we will end the game long before I get a 2-1 victory. I havent reached 40% and it would take until mid - late 45 for me to do it by my estimate. If I get a solid foothold on the Japanese homeland then victory really wouldnt be an argument so lets go for the gold!

US and british troops filtering through to Changsha and then northeast. 1000+AV strat moving to a city near Anking for movement across the river for direct assault on Anking.

800+ AV heading for the city just west of Shanghai and a desperate defense for the japanese in a jungle rough hex just northwest of that.

And Toyohara is a pinball game right now. Taking that would be a big asset. I havent decided whether to invade Hokkaido or not yet. I may just be able to reduce his industry there and make it a drag rather than a surplus. It is also a good place to turkey shoot some of his transports.

Anybody got good suggestions on how to use the B29's? Got piles of them up in Shikuka :]
