Hey look, not every base has a red (!) [:D]
How much supply does Sadogashima have?
It has its own resources and LI, so if left alone since Dec41 it might have some to move.

Here you go. Lack of fuel makes it hard to do much. I have a bit over 170 AV in troops on the isle so it will at least put up a fair fight. Most of my other islands are in the red with 0 supplies, 0 fuel, and any troops are in the red at 0 supplies.

supply in the end game is the biggest issue …

There is a set order of checking bases for what is needed, what is surplus and then delivering.  Every few turns the order is inverted.  Fukuoka and Tokyo are not every turn the final destination.

What a great idea! I'm hijacking it for my game where its December 1944 and I just looked at Sadogashima where there is 25K supply sitting in warehouses. [&o]

Which is a crucial aspect of how the supply "AI" works.

It should have a pile of Resources as well if you're short of that

It's only 1 hex to a mainland port, so super-easy to move; the smallest trawler AKLs can handle it

lol. That's so unfair. I was hoping for predictable and steady - something I could plan on and the games gives me "inverted every few turns?" [:D][:D]

That would go along way to explaining why I can't figure things out tho - lol.

Thanks man, I don't think I'd have figured that out if I had all day and a month to ponder on it.

Your right John B. - that is a pretty cool item to use in my other game and any future ones I take on. Thanks jdsrae.

Ain't that the truth? This end-game thing is really weird as there's not much I can do based on the limitations of my economy. Japan right now, is kind of like a dead wasp that keeps trying to sting while in its death throws...

If Roger has an air unit that's not bombing, escorting, attacking my ships or on Recon/Search, I sure can't tell from watching the Combat Report. On the home Isles, I'm moving AA units to try and concentrate my air defenses over a few bases I consider strategic.

Here's a pic of my units in Manchukuo. I'm still trying to get my troops to Kirin. In truth, all I will actually wind up doing is putting all of my eggs in one basket for Roger to bomb into a fine bloody paste... It's really my only option to try to put troops and supplies together in the same location.

Hey durnedwolf,

I am interested in this AAR, but find scrolling through the incessant minutiae of a 400-page long Combat Report tedious. Any way you could edit for the particularly useful / interesting action items?

So lots of air attacks.

Well, my brilliant plan to bust out of Mukden/Fushun took it in the shorts. 13 separate attacks from allied bombers - roughly 290 bombers in total, really put the hurt to my ground units… There's no way for me to provide CAP. My plans for an "Alamo" at Kirin are, from watching this, not going to work much better than spit on a griddle…

Roger also goes hard after Muroran. I had placed my banged up or next-2-empty ships there. Roger sank them for me. I thought of scuttling but I feel its a cop-out to scuttle ships just to prevent my opponent from getting a few points.

Try deploying SSX in Allied rear areas, away from prying Allied air/naval ASW.  It will do wonders for your psyche if one gets lucky.  If not lucky, the most likely outcome, well you haven't lost much in the way of VPs, provided you don't lose the mother ship.  So don't stick around with the mother ship.

An excellent thought - thank you. I just don't have any mother ships left so I won't be able to try his back areas. Below is the full extent of Japan's submarine fleet.

But Roger is raiding ports on the northern coast of Japan - I might-could get a few over there depending on which ports suddenly receive a smidgeon of fuel.
