The Power of Inexperience / GreyJoy(A)-Rader(J)

The waiting is killer tho.

Well done Kimosabe!

[String]

It is also encouraging that in bombardments the IJA takes more damage than the forces you landed.

[Grfin Zeppelin]

Well done Ser Greyjoy.

Ok guys...i gotta plan for next turn now...My fleet will retire safe for some transports that will try to deliver some more supplies to the troops ashore.
I know he will now CAP Hochinoe...so i need to find a counter...
I'm thinking about a massive morning sweep, followed by a massive ground bombing in the afternoon (with bombers set to naval attack and ground attack as secondary mission).
The situation is so good on the beaches that i'm tempted to try a deliberate attack...what do you think? No fatigue, no distruption...high morale everywhere... He's already sending in reinforcements from other bases...shouldn't i try to pull down some forts before the masses arrive?
 
Need to plan my navy movements too...and CAP over Hakkodate now is vital...gotta be very carefull...

Troops are in perfect shape. 0 distruption and 0 disablement almost everywhere.
400k supplies ashore

Suffered more than 70 ships lost...

380 planes on each side...[X(]

Overall...the landing went pretty well.

All the troops are ashore.

Here we go!

Hip! Hip! ... wait, I guess we don't want to get too overjoyed yet. There will be a lot in that base on the IJ side of the trenches soon.

Overall this several days of prep and the first two days of the invasion have been pretty damn well orchestrated. The feint, the Tokyo massacre, and now getting almost everyone on the beach in good shape. Plus 400,000 supply!!! [&o]

You've put so much thought into each little detail, and really come up with the in-between moves, the 'zwischenzug' (from chess, the "intermediate move" is a chess tactic in which a player, instead of playing the expected move first interpolates another move, posing an immediate threat that the opponent must answer).

It is epic, and legendary, and it's fun to watch piece by dramatic piece!

The idea was to make a sort of a double feint...he knew Hochinoe was the most plausible ojbective and he knew i had feinted a lot before...so this was actually a "feint of a feint"... Rader told me that he was waiting for me near Sendai, that's why he didn't send his fleet nor his bombers...[:D]

So far so good....now it comes the real problem...i need the second wave to get in ...and i cannot rely anymore on the surprise...we're gonna fight our way thorugh our beachhead

[GreyJoy]

Something very strange happaned...ALL the leaders of the LCUs that have landed have been replaced by leaders with lower rank and terrible stats...what the hell happened!??!
I may understand that some of them died during the landings...but ALL of them!?!?!??! Com'on....

Just an example...everywhere is like that[&:][&:][&:]

[pws1225]

That's bizarre! Do you enough PPs to set things right?

[GreyJoy]

No, com'on...it's a bug or what?!...not a single leader remained what it was.... and there are not enough decent substitutes in the pool!!!... This may become a HUGE problem...[:(]

No...but, above all...there aren't enough good leaders in the pool....all the good ones have simply vanished!! [&:][&:][X(]

[obvert]

Would tracker list if they had died? Or just the ops report?

[pws1225]

Perhaps you should post of the Tech Support forum and let michaelm have a look.

This is fixed in a special beta .. see the Tech Forum... this particualr fix is just the exe and to be copied right into the Beta2 directory ...

See .. tm.asp?m=3001239

[ny59giants]

Send the last two turns to MichaelM to have a look at the leader issue. It will make a big difference when you try to attack with poor leaders in most of your divisions.

[GreyJoy]

yes....done that... but i don't see how we can go back now.... [:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o]
 
Even if we update with the new beta...those leaders won't come back...and there are not enough of them in the pool nor i have enough PPs....

[cwDeici]

Earlier I said I thought this invasion would fail unless Greyjoy had something up his sleeve... but 2,7k plane kills!!! He just doesn't stop amazing!!

You could do a rollback one turn, install new beta, try to do exactly same orders. Should generate same results but with leaders available. But before that, check if parent fragments in previous saves have the proper leaders or not. If they don't it would be useless.

GJ-

I would really push this one hard before you send your turn...

I have seen a couple of threads about the leaders mysteriously vanishing during a landing....

Head over to the tech thread.

Land like that with so little dis/fat and high morale is awesome.

Touche my friend.

Not yet. Let michaelm work his magic.

As long as the savefiles are ok you'll just have to both send in the same orders and churn out the rounds till you get something highly similar.
If your savefiles record all the leaders and its easy to code then there's also the second, mindnumbing option of writing them back in one by one...
