IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR

ORIGINAL: RangerJoe

If that sub is in shallow water, send in sub chasers with 8 depth charge racks that have a lot of reloads. Give the ships to good, aggressive captains . . .

Bombing unknown units is called recon by fire . . .

no such subchasers available yet and the best I will get in late 43 / early 44 have an ASW value of 7 while the ASW mortar isn't working

bombing by recon, yeah, if you "spot" units on the map... but these units weren't spotted yet and that "feature" is like radar within the range of any bombers...

Ed mentioned he was quite happy trading fighters 1:1 with my Tojos and while we lost 19 fighters we "only" lost 7 pilots... that's more than the daily replacement rate of pilots though... the enemy also lost a good number of bombers but the low gun value of the Tojo makes it too costly for us to fight this kind of battle...

this attack was the only reason to include today's combat report in the AAR as I'm leaving out all the days without any notable action... Chinese Banazai charge with horrendous losses within the attacker's formations... these troops have been doomed for months already but I wouldn't waste them as the Japanese still have to kill them in urban terrain which is harder than the Chinese killing themselves in a suizide attack...

here's the situation in India... my troops were moving to Jubulpure and we were preparing to attack Nagpur with a push of our armored units when recon showed more and more Allied units being railed into the base... this was the signal to move more Inf divisions into the area to attack the enemy with a hammer again as it seems Mundy is going to fight for the base... he has a level five airfield there with probably quite some airsupport while we only have a level 2 airfield at Jubulpure which is only a fighter strip to defend us from air attacks so that means the enemy has air superiority in the area... we've brought lots of flak with the ground units as I don't want them to suffer the same faith the Chinese are suffering as I'm sure the enemy has his lesson learnt from our air to ground attacks in China...

So take the fresh meat in Canton and have a BBQ.

He lost more Commonwealth bombers than he gets in a day, he can't keep that up. The Hurricane is maneuverable and I believe that the IIc has cannons. This is why I want to get to the Ki-100 Tonys, because they have cannons.

Ref the Tojo, are you building many Nicks?
They seem to be working well for me in mid-42 against allied bombers.

Ref the Tojo, are you building many Nicks?
They seem to be working well for me in mid-42 against allied bombers.

I've got over 200 in the pools and the units I wanted to equip with them are flying them already. They are pretty much helpless vs enemy fighters so putting them in enemy fighter range isn't a good idea. Pretty much like a Bf-110 just way undergunned.

at the end of the day we have a 25:1 score in A2A losses, the enemy loses over two dozen of bombers... what really pisses me off for months ingame time already are my Jake losses... there's nearly no day when we don't lose Jakes on navsearch with pilots dead every time... these losses coupled with a to me not understandable low number of replacement pilots in the mod means I will have to end the game sometime in mid 43 when there won't be a single IJN pilot left for the thousands of aircraft I can build

we totally outnumber and outclass the enemy at Nagpur, only the forts prevent us from taking the base on the first attack... note another Indian Div is at the base together with two airborne brigades and an armored brigade... that will be nice to trash all these units... Mundy has clearly noticed the hopeless situation for his troops as they were reported moving out of the base the next turn where our troops were set to rest but I have no doubts to take the base with our next attack the day after tomorrow...

Defeated Allied Units Retreating!

our tank units attack with the support of infantry divs and a good number of artillery and our troops have no problem to crush the enemy's defenses at Nagpur... that's a good bunch of additional enemy troops trashed in India and another victory for us... don't know how much combat worthy troops the enemy still has in India but there can't be many of them left... we must have destroyed more Commonwealth troops already than the enemy is able to replace in the next three years... WOW! the two enemy motorized units retreated West onto the road, the rest of the enemy troops retreated SW into a rough hex which means our tank units can pursue the majority of troops kicked out of Nagpur further hurting their strenght... as a sidenote, we also captured over 20,000 tons of supply at the base...

that was more than surprising to me to see Allied bombers coming in unescorted to bomb Nagpur... not sure if this attack was ordered or if Mundy forgot to stand down his bombers as he was flying recon and must have had info about my fighters at Nagpur... even if we're only talking about Tojos and their gunvalue of 10 they are doing well in big numbers vs small numbers of medium bombers...

our pursuing tank units attack but fail to achieve the needed 2:1 to force the enemy to retreat once more... what first looks like bad luck is actually luck for us as we destroy and disable a lot of troops for nearly no losses during the attack means the forced retreat will be even bloodier for the enemy... 2nd Tank Div only arrived today and didn't take part in the attack but will do so tomorrow which will boost our strenght... the tank units then need a couple of days rest if possible...
