Massacar captured. Changsha holds.

My whole offensive is grinding to a halt. I will need to regain the initiative soon.

Not if they have spotter aircraft. (Which is how the BB's often bombarded.)

Bill Durrant · Post by **Bill Durrant** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 7:06 pm

As I face the end of 1941 I thought I would post some thoughts and screenshots.

General thoughts:
I'm afraid I've always been an Allied Fanboy so I don't really know the extent to which the Japanese face difficulties of supply versus expansion.

My main problem is that I am always uncertain where to counter attack for fear of getting trounced. I find it difficult to Recon areas for counterattack and fear that if I go blasting in with CV TFs or BB TFs they will just get annihilated by the superior Jap.

I never know where to stop and mount a defence - I just seem to get stamped on whatever resources I throw into the equation.

Added to this the LCUs are very fragile to start with due to ubderstrength issues. Should they be moved and then allowed to build up or should they build up before moving?

Well a few screenshots to follow that will pose questions. Any advice is appreciated and I don't mind my opponent seeing it as I'm here to learn.[&o]

The current position in Burma. I pulled out of Rangoon having got some aircraft away from there in AKs which flew in from Malaya.

I'm trying to set up a defence line using the Irrawaddy. Is this doomed to fail? I'm concerned about the Japanese ability to conduct river crossings where no roads or paths exist. I seem to have been caught out like this in a CHS game I am playing.

Seems to me that wherever you defend there are not enough troops and if you concentrate in one place the Japs will cross the river somewhere else.

Yenen has been overrun in quick order. Do I simply abandon the circled yellow area and try and consolidate elsewhere? What will happen to scheduled reinforcements?

I have to say the speed of this advance caught me by surprise.

The IJN seem to be able to go where they want. I tried to thwart the landings around Noumea but some CVs turned up.
