Yoko 3rd Airborn SNLF /4

[el cid again]

This fight was over the airhead at Taiping. Spotted as an abandoned airfield,
it indeed had been both abandoned and set to NO stockpiling to prevent capture
of what IJA called "Churchill Supplies" (especially gasoline at forward airfields).
In spite of the fact the 2nd IJN Airborne SNLF was scattered in line of communication
unification duties (which historically was the unsung main activity of the 1st and
3rd Airborne SNLFs), it was seized in a special operation, along with the village of
Ipoh to the South - to render railing in of a counterattack force impractical.

[Note - while the 2nd SNLF is virtually never rated as airborne, since it never made
a combat drop, it was in fact trained and equipped together with the 1st and 3rd,
an occasionally some historian comments it was wasted to use such a light unit as
ordinary heavy infantry. RHS does not force players to use it as airborne, but it
permits them to, because it was really so trained.]

This op trapped the forward eight units of the British Malaya Force to its North -
at or marching into Georgetown. These rear guard was forced to retreat into Georgetown,
and then the 5 mobile combat units marched on Taiping - figuring (likely correctly) they
could deal with a company of airborne troops. However, virtually all of the 2nd was
able to rail in or fly in. So was a company sized ground support unit, And an IJN
naval garrison also railed in. I calculated (with less than total confidence) that the
18th Class A Chrysanthemum Division cold also rail in. Yesterday, the 5 units, including
fine Indian formations, invested the airfield and town. Today they attacked, in what
I call "a Samouri Attack" because it was against hopeless odds: the class A division
defending jungle terrain (strategic mode or not). The odds and casualties were terrible.

[el cid again]

It is not often that Malacca is attacked from the West! Port Swettenham
fell today. And the unit which captured it landed on the EAST coast
in the South (at Mersing) - and marched all the way North. Much of the
Allied defense was hung up at Georgetown or other points in the North.
These are now being defeated in detail. 2 regiments of a division are
digging in to prevent anything at Singapore from moving North. But it is
likely the units at Singapore are either junk, or defeated units that
lost the Battle of Mersing.

Unfortunately, Midway failed to fall on the first assault. But it can't be
in good shape, and no longer has Dauntless dive bombers to threaten the invasion
group. For some reason, they did not fight. Too late now.

[inqistor]

So, with all those modifications, do you have any bomber which actually shot down enemy plane? My BETTYs seem unable to destroy even P-26.

Why doesn't KATEs carry 1x250kg and 6x60kg bombload during airfield attack? They were armed like that during second Pearl Harbor wave.

[el cid again]

A Kate normally carries 1x800 kg bomb. But the alternate device is a 250 kg bomb, and it is set to be
used 33% of the time. It should never carry smaller bombs on an airfield or ship attack. It DOES
drop 4x100 kg bombs in a ground support attack.

The air combat model is one of the best ever made. RHS made it work rather better than originally by
providing consistent data. But it is very dependent on die rolls (which the chief designer loves).
Kates in particular seem lethal to Buffalos. But have a shot vs any plane. This because they have a good
20 mm in the turret.

Several factors apply in air combat. One of these is altitude advantage. Enemy fighters that are ABOVE
the bombers have a good chance of killing without being hit themselves. [Sort of P-38 tactics]

During the night, one of the ships burning at Midway either flooded out or burned out,
and sank. Two other ships continue to burn. To ships nominally headed for Truk have
too much floatation damage and engine damage to make it. Both will head for Kwajalein,
separately - as one can only make 1 hex a day. At their levels of flood damage, long
transits risk sinking. One of the three land units on the island is still landing, as are
supplies. There are not enough undamaged ships to remove any of the three units. The
fight for Midway was unexpectedly savage, in spite of its Marine Defense Detachment not being
as large as the one on Wake. Note these are the SAME IJN assault units that captured Wake!
