Kenny has moved more of his troops from Malir to Karachi so the split is now about 60-40. The side effect is that the casualties from bombardments are going up.

[KDonovan]

anyone think its a better idea to most of my troops out of Karachi to Malir in order to avoid the naval bombardments??...and have my last stand at Malir. I know i'll probably lose all of India..but i just want to prolong the inevitable. Any thoughts??

PS - both are at level nine forts

[RUPD3658]

Sig Int operators must be asleep if he is even asking this question. [:D]

Last stand at Malir means no supplies from Karachi and a 3X rather than a 4X Multiplier. Also, don't forget I can go around the river and attack from the rear. Better to endure the bombardments.

Let me guess, this is a stock game?[:D]

[KDonovan]

Last stand at Malir means no supplies from Karachi and a 3X rather than a 4X Multiplier. Also, don't forget I can go around the river and attack from the rear. Better to endure the bombardments.

no supplies from Karachi wouldn't be that much of a big deal. By moving all my forces to Malir, i will be able to stockpile some 150,000+ supplies at that base. That should be able to last me quite awhile.

I'm leaning towards staying in Karachi though, i've been keeping a closer eye on the results of your bombardments, and its only the Engineers and Support troops that are really suffering. The infantry squads are pretty much intact

Let me guess, this is a stock game?

haha...i think i know what you are implying. Stock definitely has its flaw's, and my next game will definitely be CHS. But i'm enjoying this current game immensly as Tom is a great guy and a great oppenant. Also i'm learning more and more about the game's mechanics which will make future games even more enjoyable. So i don't mind having to battle it out in Karachi, no matter how unrealistic it may seem

I guess any cruise by KB off the east coast of Oz is now off. [:D][:D]
Since this is a stock game, his supply of heavy bombers is large. I guess the strategy of Japan just got modified for that part of the world. [X(]

What are the experience levels of your CA/BB's that have been bombarding Karachi back to the Stone Age??

[niceguy2005]

Sorry, I have not been keeping up with this AAR, but where on earth is the RN? with all those DDs just sitting off Karachi you could do a lot with a few well placed CL raids.

[RUPD3658]

All of the RN's DDs are on the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Those that were not sunk were withdrawn to England. The rest of the RN is hunkering down in OZ.

Since Kenny lost all but 2 of his AOs the distance is too great to sortie all the way to India.

I wish he would try since I have AVs and Glen carring subs on picket duty just waiting to call in the KB. It is all the KB can do since the 4E bombers will sink it if it gets within 14 hexes of a base.

[RUPD3658]

My raid on Perth was foiled by rain but Kenny gets 4 days of clear weather and plasters PM. 155 planes lost on the ground.[:@]

Strange. 2nd day and the number of troops and the AV goes up yet the guns are going down indicating that troops are starving.
