LoBaron: Thanx. We are grinding on towards the end date.

Well.. lets just say that if the submarine losses would be any higher Allied player doesn't need to worry about them since they are all sunk.


Pacific (September 10th 1945)


Japan


We are continuing the to hit Japanese industry (manpower) with allied and russian bombers.

Dave launched some airstrikes againts our airfields at Philippines so that did ease the pressure a bit. Temporarily though.

Next turn there will 2nd A-bomb dropped at Osaka/Kyoto. It is the biggest Japanese industrial city in range at the moment. Nagasaki and Hiroshima are pretty mauled already.


Philippines


Japanese bombers have hit Tacloban and Guluian in Leyte area. Allthough he managed to torch some B29's and other bombers the losses were high for him. Few hundred fighters and bombers were shot down by allied aircraft.

I'am conducting some troop movements here along cleaning up the flanks and rear areas. Everything is ongoing according to the plans.


China


Nothing major to report. I think he is moving troops towards Manchuko where the big battles are raging.


Burma


Some allied troops are advancing further into Malaya peninsula. Japanese also have tried some bomber attacks with heavy losses.

BB Fuso and some cruisers bombarded Bangkok couple of days ago so he has some naval assets still in that area.


Russia


There has been major ground battle raging at Mutankiang and slowly but surely we are gaining upper hand. This is the last turns result...

The city should not hold on for much longer and don't even mind him sending reinforcements there.

We are also pushing out those road block units east of Mutankiang so the road should be open soon enough for those Russian units as well.

Linshi is also under heavy assault... and really love to see few of his divisions routed here...

....not bad at all. I'am hoping that my troops are ready to assault Mutankiang yet again next turn.

I think that we have finally bypassed Japanese on points in this one.. what a long haul and bloody affair it has been.. [:D]

Japanese industry after 2 x A-bombs and regular bombing at Osaka. (Next turn we drop the 3rd A-bomb straight into Tokyo)...

...after months and months of grinding we finally surpassed the Japanese on points... well actually we are talking about years of grinding! [:D]

Pacific (September 17th 1945)


Japan


We have held the B29's back for future operations. However we did drop 3rd A-bomb of the war into Tokyo. It seems to have caused quite a lot havoc since it bagged around 11 000 victory points...

China


Not much ongoing yet.. I'am still getting the supply levels up before committing into larger operations here.

Japanese forces have finally gained upperhand at Tienshui last turn and the brave chinese forces are doomed.

That is good news indeed and the pressure is building in this theatre day by day.

Quite a few smaller ground skirmishes also reported which the Russians mostly have gained upper hand.

I hear from Dave that we seem to have run out of pilot slots. Oh well.. we will work it through and I suppose the game is not designed to go this far! [:D]

..on a not so good news! My Acer Aspire laptop seems do retired. No picture either to the LCD screen.. external monitor or anything. Thus either the damn motherboard, ATI graphics "card" or processor has had enough. At least the harddrive seems to be working... 1000 x [:@][:@]!

Need to sort this through before we continue the game. Damn it..

I think there is a "special" .exe file that allows for more pilots slots! Will see if I can find it somewhere.

Sorry to hear you laptop died. [:(]

EDIT:

Here you go! [:)]

tm.asp?m=2859420

Thanx JocMeister. I did read about that special .exe file so we will check it out if needed.

Yeah, it is officially dead! RIP that Acer crap! [:@][:D]

At the moment still out of the laptop but got the 3rd party diagnose that the Acer is not worth repairing. Thus need to sort things out with the insurance company.

The good news is that I just ordered Asus N76 17" model laptop which should be top quality. It might take a week to arrive... and than I need to install the game and setup the damn thing.

That obviously will mean that PBEM games are on hold 100% sure until next week.

Also must say that I hate this old desktop machine and the mobile broadband stick that enables the Internet use. It is driving me nuts! [:D][:-]

Haha,

I´m always using my desktop. Got to love all the bang you get for the buck when not buying a laptop! [:D]

Good to hear the game will resume shortly! Good luck!

*redundant post* [8D]

Small update. I did just pick up my ASUS G75V laptop. This seems like an beast to say at least.

Thus meaning that the PBEM games will continue shortly once I get this sorted out and everything installed.

Aztez: Thanks for sticking this out and reporting back to the community all this late game stuff. Yeoman service, my friend.

Nuke 'em till they glow!

Cheers,
CC

Commander Cody: Appreciated! Yeah.. we still have about 1 year to go in this PBEM so plenty of action left.

I will definately increase the campaign againts Home Islands in forthcoming months since actually received bunch of new shiny B29's turn or two ago.

The game will resume in the weekend. Finally got the new ASUS laptop tweaked last night.

The bad thing about these "stops" is that you really don't remember 1/2 what you were doing! [:D]

Can´t wait! [:)]

We are back in action. To be honest the whole setup was dazzling.. and most likely forgot a lot of things that I were doing.

Anyway, pretty quiet turn in all... but the main thing is that the game is moving forward.


Pacific (September 19th 1945)

I have rested quite a few bomber squadrons thus not many hits on Japanese manpower...

The A-bomb damage at Tokyo must have been pretty big as you can see from the intel screen pic. That was worth +10 000 points.

Also recon indicate that we have severely damaged cities at Osaka and Kobe. A lot of damaged HI etc...


Philippines


Allied troops wipe out defenders at Sangihe. The ground assault at Talaud Island however failed...

Heavy bombers have been busy bombing Cebu, Legaspi, Puerto Princess, Cagayan, Taytay and Jolo.


China


I'am still organizing and waiting the supply levels to rise.

There are still some small units blocking the supply routes from Burma.


Burma / Thailand


Pretty much the same. Organizing and getting ready to push forward.

I will unleash heavy aircampaign in this region once everything is setup.

In the meantime we are moving slowly forward and keep bombing his main stacks / airfields.


Russia


Japanese forces wipe out an tank unit near Kweisu. Those poor souls became isolated and paid the price.

No major ground battles to report from previous turn but our troops will continue to push forward. Last turn we knocked few static defenses (which are quite stubborn).

That means the roads are open for supplies and reinforcements.

The intel amount is solid and he will have hard times ahead in this theatre....

Pacific (September 22nd 1945)


Japan


Few allied B29's entered theatre again. Today was the first day we tried an daytime bombing run againts the Japanese home islands.

As expected the resistance was much stiffer so we definately need use this daytime opiton carefully. I don't want to waste bombers for nothing.

...well that is decent enough. The amount of bombing runs will rise once we are ready.



Philippines


The allied reinforcements arrived at Leyte Gulf. We will begin constructing the bases at Baybay and Catbalogan.

These bases will give two additional level airfields in the region which to support and conduct operations.

It is pretty safe to say that Leyte Gulf area is important to defend when playing as japan!

Otherwise it will have severe concequences as you will see soon enough.

The recon flights indicate also large number of fighters (+300) and bombers (+150) based at Takao. Heavy volume shipping is also reported.


China


Nothing noteworthy to report...


Russia


The russian troops continue to open roads on their way towards inner Manchuko.

Japanese forces that were routed at Mutankiang are now at Yenki. That totals 68 enemy present in that base.

Near Tungho japanese troops move out in offensive. I don't know what he has here but if he moves out those troops will be circled soon.

Thus not objecting him moving his troops out at all.

In other areas the troops continue to move forward and we can expect large ground combats in forthcoming weeks...

¨A couple of more turns have passed... nothing major to report but some intresting developments.

I'am resting bulk of my bombers at the moment. The offensive againts the japanese economy will intensify once I have few more airfields ready.

Once that is done we start flying bombers in numbers... but happy to grind on at the moment.


Philippines


The first aviation support units and engineers arrive at Baybay. Another bunch are still enroute towards Catbalogan.

There are still nearly 400 enemy fighters stationed at Takao along with 100 bombers. I'am expecting these to be deployed into frontlines soon by Dave.

We also secured Vanimo in northern New Guinea. That was the last base he could have used for his recon aircraft.

Few more bases to clear out still but this needs to be done now before we launch any major offensives.


China


Nothing to report.


Burma


The stalemate continues. Now the objective is to get few bases secured in northern Malaya peninsula.

Allied HQ is still undecieded where the major push will ordered. Basically two choices either towards Singapore or Saigon.


Russia


Some good and some bad news. Overall though the offensive continues.

Dave is using small parachute unit fragments to hinder my supply lines. Well.. not liking that one but at the moment I will let it be.

The good news is that we stopped the enemy offensive near Kiamuze... that was made as expected.

...after the dust settled at Takao allied recon showed about 80 aircraft on the airfield. Previous turn the number was around 400.

All in all definately worth the efforts.

Russia


No major ground battles has taken place.

The japanese forces do continue their way up north and I have taken measures to push them back.

Meanwhile the russian troops continue their advance and we should very soon see major ground battles raging.

The russian airforce is not fairing that well againts the japanese. A bit odd but not unexpected. Also noticing some quite high fatigue levels on the pilots.

Oh well the show continues and have bigger things to worry about...

...touche but you cannot protect everything. I will move some units into northern Russia via railway just to wait for these troops. He must "walk" the road and luckily I do not.

We had minor ground battles at Kiamusze and near Yenki. Nothing major though.

Nothing major happening. I'am flying in as much supplies as I can.

I will launch an offensives here once the supply levels are adequate. Hopefully soon enough...

Allied troops will enter Nakhon Ranchasima in the plains of Thailand within two days.

There is still 10 units present and want to clear that flank before committing anything else.

...and it will be tough nut to crack. That is pretty obvious!

Russian troops have now also secured Taonan near central Manchuko. Nice to base to have definately.


Philippines / CenPac / Southern Pacific


We are still fighting around southern Philippines. Need to secure few bases and bring in more supplies here.

Japanese have launched few sizeable kamikaze strikes againts our shipping in the region. The damage has been moderate.

All that sounds simple but sometimes simple is easier said than done.

However we are making small progress here.

There are still no sign of KB.. nor with the recon flights or allied signit reports. It seems those ships are in "stealth" mode and our radio operators listen music instead radio traffic.


Japan


We have kept bombing the islands by night. That is the safest way to do it at the moment.

Allied 5th A-bomb will be dropped into Tokyo next turn unless weather prevents that mission.
