Holy c%$p !!! [X(]
However i was wrong about mandalay i'll not tempt fate here too [;)]
RE the B29s are they targetting a city ? or factories etc. i 'think' it has to be a city target but never having dropped one i'm guessing a bit. ( i mean manpower)
Good luck
sorry for the spelling . English is my main language , I just can't type . and i'm too lazy to edit
Rob: Indeed.. Holy c%p! This time around I'am skeptical too but I will do whatever I can to even the odds.
The capture of Mandalay was good news.. Now I need to make sure he cannot reorganize his defenses at Burma. (Allthough Dave might already be ready)
I'am targeting cities. Actually I had targeted the manpower at Tokyo... didn't fly... now I try againts Osaka.
I think that I really need some luck here! [:)]
Game date is 11th of August 1945
Hmmm. No Atomic bombs this turn either...! [:(] ..Those B29's just refuse to fly out of Kadina. I changed the target to Sapporo for next turn. Hopefully, it will work. I read the manual and there should not be any reason why these planes don't fly. [8|]

I wonder how much supplies Japanese has piled up at Kagoshima and what kind of harm these LBA strikes will cause? ....I'am sending in another supply convoy bringing in some 150 000 supply points. I want to keep my troops well supplied here.
I'm dubious of the effectiveness of bombing Kagoshima airfield.
1) he's NOT going to run out of supply in the HI
2) Plenty more airfields very close
3) level 9 forts aren't going to get any better [;)]
However hitting the Port will 'hopefully' reduce the damage your transports take when unloading , while ground attack will disrupt his units if not do all that much damage due to the 'rolling' stack feature[8|] .
Good luck with the BOMB ! want screenshots of that (big mushroom cloud [;)])

To sum the above up --> I'am screwed! [:D][:D][:D] Unfortunately you might be right.
It is hard to estimate how much supplies he has piled up there. I mean he hasn't been able to bring in resources etc for longtime.
Those naval bombardments are becoming too costly. He has already torpedoed 3 BB's and that is not good.
You will get the screenshot If I'am ever to figure out how detonate the damn thing!!! [8|][:D]

That is the 1st day of action at Russia.. kind of recaps the action from the next few days.
Arshaan seems very stubborn... Actually this is very suprising... I have reinforcements enroute. I think it will be overwhelmed soon enough.
At Mutanchiang an shock assault is ordered... fingers crossed that it will succeed.
Othérwise more troops are moving into their offensive places.

Japanese aircraft losses
A6M3a Zero: 43 destroyed
I will launch an deliberate assault next turn at Kagoshima. I just want to check the odds... hopefully they are improving here! [8|]
Game date is 23rd of August 1945
OK... No go for the Nuke...something is definafely wrong here. I will move the squadron out of Kadina and place in Iwo Jima.. (Maybe these planes will take off from there... or maybe not.. this is definately some sort of an bug)

I think Arshaan will captured quite soon. As said more reinforcements are enroute there.
The battle of Mutanchiang seems tough as it is... well at least I knocked down an fortifications if nothing else. Intresting to see whether Dave will reinforce any of these bases.
Mishan seems tough too.. unfortunately.

Ouch.. I knocked down a fortification level but that defensive value is HUGE!!!
It seems that even if Japanese home islands are completely bombed it doens't help too much! [:(]
Well I will continue to bomb his industry... B24's will also visit Kagoshima daily!
OK... No go for the Nuke...something is definafely wrong here. I will move the squadron out of Kadina and place in Iwo Jima.. (Maybe these planes will take off from there... or maybe not.. this is definately some sort of an bug)
[/b]
Kadina is overstacked (388 planes according to your screenie above; 350 max for level 7 AF). Atomic bomb squadron will probably only launch when all of the squadrons' planes fly. Just a theory...

Hi,
Thanks! I will try to change that situation once the next turn arrives. Didn't even notice that.
..also will try to change the leader too for that squadron. Might help too.
There was a recent discussion in the forums about nukes and iirc only bombers sent from tinian will use the boy's (not sure if this was confirmed though)
try this its not the one i remember but VSWG has put in 2 links (not read them)

Thanks Rob. It seems I'am not missing much with Nukes by reading the damage levels. Regular bombers are much more effective it seems.
Also looked at the screenshorts and it seems those test runs were flown out of China!!! That should mean that I can use the bomb outside Tinian and Terminus also stated that this would be the case.
Well.. battle on.. couple of bugs found in Russia and need to think hard on the future plans.
No atomic bombs yet.. Next stop for the squadron is Vladivostok!

Those are the major developments. Now that I conquered Arshaan I can start moving towards Central Manchuko.
I doubt Dave is able to hold Mutanchiang for long either.. just 70 000 men. Another Russian spearhead will begin to assault Tsihar from the North too.
Burma
Japanese continue to withdraw out of Burma. Allied troops will enter Rangoon next turn and the base will be overrun immediately.

I do not know whether is worth of landing more troops into this beachhead. Despite the heavy LBA bombings Japanese mustered adjusted defensive value of 35 000 few turns back.

RN performed well yet again. The CVL Vengeance is lost but that is acceptable result indeed.
KABOOM, KABOOM and KABOOM.... well you guess it.. nukes did detonate but it exploded not once, not twice but three times into sama target!!! [X(][X(][X(] ...talk about an overkill. Well, Dave posted about in the bugs forum which is proper place for it.
Operation Olympic is stuck and will remain stuck for time being... LBA bombardments + Ground bombardments are made daily againts the enemy here.
In Burma Allied troops captured Rangoon. The city was abandoned by the enemy. Very low supply level indicates that my bombers did their job here nicely.
In Russia everything is coming along nicely. Forts were lowered at Mutanchiang and Tsihar. It is onlly matter of time when these bases will fall.
