It seems Inquistor lives up to his name! He asks questions. Good show.

First, the situation at Johnston Island is very unusual, and in any mod, casualties would be
unusually high, regardless of the "die roll" (luck): the Imperial Guards Brigade is wholly
without supplies, rendering any weapons it might normally have unable to fire, and it is
virtually entirely disrupted. When casualties occur to disrupted squads (generally last)
casualty counts are higher.

Second, According to Joe, on this specific attack, the bombers should not have strafed at all: the
intent of the programmers was that they would strafe SHIPS, not land units. It seems there
was an unintended consequence of the code change.

Third, RHS has implemented what we regard as a device reform in re bomb accuracy. In stock, and for
that reason in most mods, bomb accuracy is all over the place. For typical bombs, the values are MUCH
too high (e.g. the US 1000 pound bomb has a value of 50. As bomb size goes down, so does accuracy. This
is in defiance of physics, and also of test range data: there is very little measurable, and no theoretical
change in accuracy due to bomb size. [There is practical variation due to bomb shape, but not much.]
For this reason, RHS uses a standardized bomb accuracy of 5 for all bombs (except guided bombs or bombs
with an area effect for some reason, e.g. cluster bombs, where the square root of N times 5 is used, N
being the number of bomblets). As a result, the RHS system DECREASES chances of bomb damage in most cases compared
to stock bomb devices, although it does increase it for the smallest of bombs (e.g. the stock 30 kg bomb
has an accuracy of 3).

Fourth, in the opposite direction, and for the same reason, RHS has implemented what we regard as bomb load reform. An aircraft will carry its normal bomb load, in the sense of both weight and number of bombs of a given size. Over time, bombers tend to increase bomb size - e.g. from 250 to 500 to 1000 pound bombs for the US. When special loads are carried, the bomber is issued in a variant where the special load is specified as part of its name (certain gigantic bombs are special cases, up to the Pumpkin Bomb version of the B-29). Certain bombs have unusual accuracy (e.g. a late war Mosquito carries a spherical anti-shipping bomb which bounces of the water and more or less turns the attack into one of trying to hit a line rather than a point - these were actually deployed to Australia although never used operationally - and the special bombers fitted for them are a unique type which use them for anti-ship attacks, but regular bombs for other attacks). Anyway, as a general rule, bombers in RHS often have more bombs than in stock or most mods, and that tends to increase the chances of a hit.

Fifth, these attacks were done at low altitude. It may be the chances of strafing are high at low altitude. In WITP days, if you wanted to strafe, you set altitude at 100 feet. Probably that sort of thing - an attack at 20,000 feet would probably not have strafed. As well, altitude has a CRITICAL effect on the chances of a hit:

in general, medium altitude attacks are not effective enough
high altitude attacks are virtually useless (with some justice in history and data)
and low altitude attacks are far too effective vs land units.

Again, according to Joe, this was worked on at one point, but realistic values were not popular,
and in spite of submitting some very fine data (a total war study by USN broken down many ways)
there is no chance of correcting this issue at this time - unless the Forums demand it. I suggested
to players we could use an ancient WITP era house rule - forbidding low attacks - but they demurred.
In RHS players PICK their altitude according to the AAA they want to face: this is realistic
see below.

Sixth - In RHS if you come in at 4,000 feet, you are ABOVE ALL AAMG effective ceilings. RHS uses a
combination of effective AAA ceiling and operational ceiling from planes (to help prevent flying
higher than a real operation would fly - near service ceiling: for early war planes with non-turbo
supercharged engines, this is 80% of service ceiling; for turbo-supercharged engines 90%, for jets
and rockets 95%). Anyway - in RHS the highest AAMG altitudes are just over 3000 feet - 3200 feet for
the .50 in most cases - 3600 feet for some weird cases just bigger than the .50. .30 cals are effective
at lower altitudes - typically around 1200 to 1800 feet. But we have added VAST numbers of AAMG -
a player who comes in below 4000 feet will face the .50 AAMGs - and those who come in around 1000 feet
or worse 100 feet - will face often huge numbers of .30s as well. Our players in this test elected NOT
to face the AAMG at all - so they could not have been a factor even if the unit was supplied - since they came in above effective AAMG altitude at 4000 feet.

RHS DOES have a house rule that bombing at 2000 feet or 1000 feet is not allowed until after mid 1943, when
skip bombing was invented, because it was alleged in WITP days that code incorporates an accuracy boost at very low altitudes to reflect this tactic. I wish we had bomb profiles in some sense - glide bombing for example is approximately as good as dive bombing - and possible for most fighters and bombers without the problems of dive bombing. But it would require a different interface and a more complex bombing model to get it. It would not be used by very large bombers at all. Bombing is a technical subject - look up the way a US bomber used its Norden bomb sight - almost impossibly complex. And for all that it was a failure - high altitude bombing is subject to unknown cross winds which prevent the complex calculations from having practical meaning anyway. See Freeman Dyson in Weapons and Hope - he served as the statistical analyst for Bomber Command (having at the time a masters in math). Typical Bomber Command bombs were landing MILES from their targets!

Those attacks seems far too precise for early war. Have you changed accuracy of bombs?
The A-20 even do not carry that many Devices, and I do not have seen strafing to do anything useful. Are you also modified aircraft MGs? I would at least expect few damaged planes during strafing. Does Japanese forces at Johnston Island have standard equipment of AAMGs?

This was a very active turn. Japan remains on the offensive everywhere except the Central
Pacific, where the battle for Johnston Island turned into an unmitigated disaster, culminating
with the destruction of the Imperial Guards Brigade yesterday.

Japan had rough going in China, casualty wise. But the Allies are probably going to lose key
positions at Sian, Changsha and perhaps in the South as well - all in a critical early time
frame and all helping Japan gain control of the RR network.

In India, Akyab fell, although at a price. A division ashore was short of supply - so yesterday
a fast transport convoy of warships as well as a slow convoy landed more - along with artillery
and a brigade for good measure. The larger ships remained, a calculated risk, to insure that
enough supplies were delivered for an effective attack. This achieved success, but all four
of the AKs were lost to a British raid. One of the CLs took a fish from a waiting submarine,
but otherwise that raid was a success - although the ships were substantially empty when they
went down. Now Japan has two ports (Mynba in Northern Burma is beside Akyab), both with airfields,
and this may turn out to matter.

But there is more to the story. Jorhat, in the upper Bhramaputra region of Bengal and Assam, fell to a rare Japanese airborne assault - the location was defended by a proper infantry battalion. Outnumbered and outgunned, the shock attack succeeded, and the location - on a vital rail and road LOC to Ledo - with large quantities of oil, fuel, supplies and resources, fell into enemy hands. It may well be the position cannot be held: the significant thing is the LOC is cut, which may prevent evacuation of base forces from, or reinforcement of, Ledo. In Northern Burma, 6 of 7 Allied units that fled Myitkyina - which had marched up country hoping to escape into China - were hit by an amphibious landing. It seems the enemy does not like base forces living to fight another day - and this formula probably explains the isolation of Ledo. The enemy apparently is hitting Bengal from both ends - and perhaps in the middle as well - since a unit seems to be marching in on Imphal over the trail system.

In the Arafura Sea, the KB family of task forces split like a fan. One headed North Northeast - to destination unknown. It might be a surface force, but the Allied display reports a CV present. One moved due West - and hit Koepang on Timor by air. One moved less far West - and hit Darwin again by air. One moved SW - and seems to be poised to invade Darwin. Another apparently moved sharply SW and went around the islands - composed of destroyers - probably trying to suppress or at least expend the torpedoes of several subs contesting the area. The invasion seems to be happening - but KB is providing only distant cover for it.

Actions of Bengal, Darwin, Timor - and in China. Interesting situation in
the Bay of Bengal where neither side's calculations worked out very well.
The Japanese managed to get a force to Cox's - but set the TF NOT to land!
A resupply fast transport force to Akyab similarly was set NOT to unload -
and it took the brunt of a carrier strike for its pains. A different TF set
to bring in reinforcements and supplies got entirely lost and went to the
wrong place. Still another landed troops in the swamps near Rangoon -
to no purpose. But the Allied attack plans also generally failed - with one
exception - as you will see. Two brigades came ashore at Darwin -
visible in the Allied counter bombardment - and many tiny ships were lost
to the 6 inch battery there. This force came on many little ships - and now
we know why. The Japanese team rarely lands in the face of CD guns -
when they do - apparently they like little ships.

Submarines were generally less effective today - but one in the Malacca
strait was so successful it must be totally out of torpedoes!

The Japanese intent for the KB is now clear - it diverted from Pacific Waters
with a view to covering invasion operations in the Eastern NEI. Darwin fell
yesterday after days of air strikes directed at its land units (not airfield or
port); the same thing happened to Kendari today. Kopoeng was hit by air
strikes several times, and an invasion group showed up today - presumably to
land tomorrow.

The Central China front near Changsha is remarkably strong on both sides -
and it is possible it will remain hung up indefinitely. Test eight has many
but not all of the measures to help the Allies in China - and clearly it made
some progress in that direction. South China is a real battle, with both
sides possibly having made maneuver errors, its outcome unclear so far. North
China, near Sian, is badly hung up - with both sides taking heavy casualties.
The presence of armor and more guns may have given the Japanese an edge - but
it is unclear if they will run out of formations able to attack or not? They
have three rough hexes to take - the front narrows like a funnel - and then
the major urban hex itself, no doubt fortified. This may not work. In the
very far North, along the Yellow River, the Chinese are in route. Lacking a
LOC, the Japanese better stop advancing - unless they can make the entire
river safe to use for naval supply.

The Bengal area is a very contested area. The entire land frontier is lousy
with jungle and the only road is a secondary one - broken at Akyab. There is
a trail in the North, one in the center and a "ferry" (= a trail) at Akyab -
none suitable for significant logistical purposes. So the Japanese offensive
depends on air supply as well as marine supply along the coast. The Allied
side has poor communications as well. There isn't any bridge across the
Bhramaputra River anywhere, road or RR. So Bengal and Assam is supported mainly
by minor RR and major road out of Chittagong, and a similar very long route
up the Ganges along the foothills of the Himilayas halfway across the sub-
Continent until it finally finds a bridge. The only GOOD LOC is the river system,
but restricted Indian units either cannot board ships ever, or cost too many pp
to convert - the river is more for supplies, resources and oil than troops.
The Allies have a very strong position along the coast. Possibly superior
numbers of Japanese troops and aircraft are also constrained by a general lack
of supplies - and Burma does not generate enough to feed a "double sized" army
of this kind: it is more than a corps - partly because of lack of supply for
the units sent to Malaya caused the Japanese so send more to Burma than they
really needed there. So the actual fighting is at the tips of the logistical
reach by forces which, at the point of contact, tend to be stronger on the Allied
side. The wild card is the sea: Japan did an end run to take Akyab, but a similar
attempt to take Cox's Bizzare ran into effective naval opposition and it withdrew.
The Allies seem to have at least temporary naval superiority, and indeed wiped out
a task force landing at Akyab (it was offloading supplies after troops - leaving the
troops critically short of supplies at a place that makes very few). Efforts since
have been to build up supplies there by airlift and fast transport - and also
sometimes by regular AKs. An air assault at Dimapur cut off India from the oil at
Ledo, except not by river - and so there is a "second front" on the Allied Left
(Japanese Right) flank. At the moment this "front" has only two battalions on both
sides - part of an airborne one and most of an airmobile light infantry one for the
Japanese vs two Indian States Forces (ISF) battalions, one hurt in the assault on
Dimapur for the Allies. The Japanese either must reinforce by airlift - straining
their resources from supply short bases - or walk overland by trail - taking so long
the Monsoon will destroy the trails before they are done! The Allies can reinforce
by rail - but the route is excessively long - going way up the Ganges and back down
the other side. [Game movement isn't as bad as IRL - it took many weeks to go by
train from Calcutta to Ledo because of terrible RR organization until the US took over
in 1943 - the US Army also bridged the Bhramaputra - and in RHS the bridge gets built
and the RR upgraded to primary in the Spring of that year.] The Allies also hold a
very strong position at Imphal in the Center - but its land LOC is threatened if the
enemy advances West from Dimapur. The direct approach to Imphal is over a trail -
and at one point it appeared the Japanese were coming that way (as IRL). Now either
air search has lost them or they went back. This entire front is likely to turn on
which side can exploit the sea flank more effectively? It may be assumed both sides
are rushing naval units to the Bay of Bengal area.
