the enemy only got 741 av left at Clark Field, that could be a chance to achieve something for us... have ordered a SHOCK attack for tomorrow, even if we fail to achieve the needed odds, we could maybe do some damage while not being completely shred as there is only one enemy division left sieging our base... fingers crossed...

what the Japanese failed to achieve in all their attacks and bombing 24/7 for 8 months already is achieved in one Allied attack with my units being wrecked... exactly today, another IJA division showed up at Clark, I can't believe it... it's obvious we wouldn't have kicked out the enemy even when facing only the troops that were there yesterday when we ordered the attack but another division here of course meant more horrible losses for us...

100% wrong decision to attack... jungle/rough, mountains and urban/heavy terrain means no attack under any circumstances if you face more than just a pityful force... 10000 av wouldn't be enough to overcome 2500 av in that hex, only the losses would be exxagerated on the attackers side while the caused losses would still be nothing to worry about... no surprise that we won't every attack here again, it also means we will keep that in mind for any further assaults in bad terrain...

that's also a hex with bad terrain for the attacker but in this case we can afford the disabled squads while it will take us four or five attacks to see the enemy having no combat ready squads left and the division will then start to deteriorate... our units that suffer enough disablements that they run danger of suffering destroyed squads will be taken out of the fight...

it seems like Cuttlefish is planning to defend Manus (island NW of Rabaul) as recon shows some 20000 troops on the island (probably 250-300 av max) as well as enemy aircraft... as we've got a good number of P-38 already we have ordered our two best squadrons to fly a high alt sweep... the tactic employed by the IJ earlier is now already coming back to bite them into the a$$ as the Lightnings dive and dive and dive while the Zeroes die like flies... the single P-38 that was shot down over the target was hit during a short moment the Zeroes had the dive... all in all an excellent result, even though we have lost a pilot of our flying circus as this squadron fields the best USAAF pilots on the map... on the other hand, the Japanese surely still field excellent pilots too so that result is great... three enemy fighter units at the base but only a pityful number of fighters in total... hmm...

here's the sedond squadron coming in, having the dive, taking down or damaging the rest of the CAP for no losses within the P-38... thought about also sending in the 4E fleet but refused to do so due to the danger of the bombers arriving early again taking massive losses...

we were using the new airfield at Terapo as staging base for our P-38 to shorten the range compared to coming from Port Moresby...

5:1 A2A today, not bad for mid 42...

Those PI infantry divisions have poor firepower and experience. This is a bad combination when attacking good Japanese units in good terrain. Plus, you attacked a stack with plenty of Japanese armor. In 1942, the Allied infantry squads have little or no AT values. This is very important and probably had as much to do with your losses than AV or terrain. You had some tanks but not enough. Armor matters big time and Japanese tanks are plenty good enough in 1942.

If you attacked him with the same AV but used 1944 Indian squads supported by grant and sherman tanks then his tanks would have been totally negated and he would have suffered big time. Heck, Allied infantry alone can slaughter Japanese tanks in 1944.

You are pointing out an item I am paying alot more attention to lately. Japanese tanks are crappy, but they are Asian Panthers vs. Chinese or weak Allied units that have no AT guns. My opponent has massed his tanks in China to great effect; that's a real good use of them. Against the US Army, you're probably just wasting IJA tanks....

And you are also right on late-war Allied....the Sherman may as well be a King Tiger to the IJA, because they don't have the AT capability.

Use Tracker - look at Devices then

Squads

and

AFV

Look over the comparisons of things like anti-soft, anti-armor (or is it called anti-hard?), armor, etc. Far more important than AV alone. AV is only a counting of quantity.

yes, firepower of course matters but I was more hoping for an adjusted av enabling me to kick them out. Would not have been possible against 700 enemy av but with another IJA div bringing the enemy's av to 1100 it was even more hopeless.

sry, awfully boring phase of the game and there is not that much hope to see it change anytime soon... not before 43 when it will start to really heat up... no sign of any Japanese attempts to intervene with our moves at the moment though... and the enemy also doesn't seem to build up the frontline so if CF is strenghtening his defense then he is doing this in the second line only, outside of my recon and patrol range... but that would be well inside the SRA and a line from Babeldoab to Saipan and further North... also Burma isn't really garrisoned which isn't surprising to me with all those divisions still operating on Luzon...

a more interesting turn as some heavy cruisers took position 9 hexes SW of Manus to bombard the place tonight... our carriers were covering the two cruiser squadrons but our task forces were not even spotted as there seems to be no IJ nav search in the area which is quite surprising as the area around Rabaul should be seen as not unimportant for this stage of the war... I won't complain, CF may well have a plan...

nearly the same as at Rabaul, we hit the base (while not as many enemy aircraft were destroyed) that had dozens of aircraft on the field...

we return to Manus as we were sure there would still be some damaged aircraft at the field waiting for bombs raining down on them... seems like Manus will be the major stronghold in the area, recon shows 25000 troops, Rabaul 14000... none of the two bases should be a real problem when we decide to attack, Kavieng is also a level 4 airfield but we are not flying any recon over the base yet so no idea if he decides to defend it... the bases down the Solomons are lightly defended and got airfields all in the range of 2-3... I doubt the Japanese will put up a real fight for the Bismarck archipelago or the Solomon islands...
