My battle before this to the east looked just as dismal at first. Attacking and resting seemed to grind him down there. The situation at Raipur seems pretty similar -- maybe better, if I've choked the supplies a bit.
I'm guessing the benefits to having armor involved are more than what their AV alone would suggest. Adding another 100 - 150 tanks should make a difference, I think. 2 - 3 more flak units, I hope, will mess up the air he's been sending in. He's been doing enough damage to me with this, too.
I'm trying to be careful with how I commit the bombers. My bomber pools are pretty pathetic right now. I could use a group of P-39s right now. I have my two Vengeance squadrons, but I've reserve them for antiship. I'm taking a bombardment a week at Madras. I never see them come either, which is a pain. My torp laden Beauforts are ready this time. I won't send the dive bombers to Raipur, as they'll get shredded -- either by the CAP or the flak. AA in Babes isn't nice to dive bombers.
Raipur is just far enough away that LRCAPping doesn't get enough numbers up. Supplies aren't getting to my forward airfields in sufficient numbers. Drop tanks are off the table, thanks to this. I'm hauling in more supplies from Abadan and Aden, but it's not making a big difference. I probably have a million fuel points in Karachi and Bombay with more inbound. I'm guessing all the LCUs healing up are drawing quite a bit. I can bring in lots from Cape Town, but that's a three week transit.
Raipur's sorta the sore thumb sticking out. It looked like the most vulnerable spot to hit, sticking out from his main lines that far. I would have dealt with more of his supporting bases attacking Benares from the north, I think.
I don't have anywhere near the troops required to drive CF out of India. I'm only a few hundred PP away from flipping another division, and am tempted to send another over. I haven't really looked ahead to see what the UK is ready to send over. I already have 3 USA divisions plus some regiments over, along with a USMC division and regiment. One of my USA regiments has its divisional cohorts sitting in New Zealand. I'm thinking of shipping them over also, as I don't see a invasion there happening.
Looking back, I'm not sure I could have defended India much at all from the start. CF made three simultaneous landings, going as far as Mangalore (pulling out from the others), so I had no real clue where the real axis of attack was. The main thing is that the British are simply weak in the east. Garrisons in the north don't help things either. I have one good Indian division sitting on its hands up there, and a number of smaller units scattered around. I'm taking about a 2 VP hit a day from a couple other cities I can't occupy right now. I suppose I could send the USN over to take Ceylon, but I'm dedicating them for months to this, and it's along trip there. I don't have the assault transports needed to haul a few divisions over either. I'd probably shred his Betties there and KB wouldn't be a factor, which is the upside.
I'll post a map shot next turn.

That's a bloody battle at Raipur. Don't think you have enough to win but you can wear down the Japanese. First side to bring substantial reinforcements here will win the battle.
As for heavy losses, the Ki-44 can put down a a fair number of bombers with their 20 mm cannons. The heavy flak there doesn't really help either. Certainly the results of the battle don't justify those losses; very few casualties from the air and I doubt disruption was a factor either. There are simply some times when air support just isn't viable as its too costly.
What's the map look like these days? What's the significance of Raipur? Both of you are heavily invested in it.
Raipur is one of the four bases along the rail line from Chittagong to Calcutta. If he takes it he can move on to surround Calcutta. I assume he already has Tezpur, Silchar and Comilla.

As for the bombing, the only way you will be able to replenish those pools is by being more careful with your bombers. I agree with your analysis of not using DBs here.
Yes, you really need to be bringing lots of supply from Cape Town. Abadan has lots of fuel but not supply. Luckily there are lots of xAKs for this job though it my be difficult to bring them in depending on the naval situation. I'm sure CF isn't making it easy for you in the Indian Ocean.

It's mostly been 2 subs west of Karachi and once in a while a fast surface group. I'm making it standard practice to have a battleship group from Bombay meet big convoys at the board edge. If the subs get too close to India, I drop a bunch of MLs on him.
22 December 1942
Looking at Raipur our raw AVs when I attacked were about 2900 to 1900, my favor. Judging from today's bombardment, we both dropped by about 400. Attrition match says I can just continue to grind him down until the ratios climb in my favor. Not a pretty way of fighting a war, but that's how it's done sometimes. The British armored brigade leaving Nagpur is about 200 AV by itself, having about 100 Stuarts and another 50 Lees in it. Probably another 50 Stuarts in the USMC unit on the way. When they arrive I'll hit him again. He'll probably have troubles with the medium tanks.
More flak is also marching over. I probably took a combined loss of 100 troops with all his airstrikes today, which is a record low. Some of the incoming flak is the heavy variety. I just have Bofors at Raipur now.

Given the very limited Indian and British pools of infantry squadrons, attrition may end up hurting you than helping you. The key is being able to launch attacks that may result in large numbers of disabled squads but not destroyed squads. That last attack on Raipur had too many destroyed squads for my taste. It's probably also a good idea to wait until supply gets better; with lots of RR there the only conclusion that I can reach is that India as a whole has too little supply. Luckily this can be fixed with a few 100k ton convoys.
As for Raipur, I think you may be better served by disengaging and trying to surround the base while supply builds up. There are no primary roads leading to Raipur and it is a very long ways from any Japanese base along the RR so if the RR is cut it will take some time for Japanese LCUs to march to open up the routes. If you can cut the RR going to Raipur, the Japanese will not be able to use it to ferry damaged aircraft of the base which will mean you can launch some devastating attacks on the base and catch some planes on the ground. Yes, the encircling maneuver will be slow and you will be exposed to air attack but I think its better than the alternative of trying to take the base with brute force while the Japanese are able to fight on favorable terms.

It ain't pretty, but I'm slowly winning the attrition battle. When my armored regiment and brigade arrive, I'll let him have it.
At Chungking, I'm back up to 3,100 AV again. I was at 1/3 that after my last attack. I'm respawning 2-3 corps per day. If I get 4-1 or 5-1 odds, I'll give it another shot. CF's supply line has to be pretty long, too.

So much for China, I guess. Wuchang and Hankow are the only other places of real resistance left. He did take a pretty good beating doing this, so there will be some recovery time needed for these forces.
At this point, I'm going to try and wrap up Raipur as quickly as I can. I have a minimum of a month before he can realign some of these forces in China towards India. I'm not worried about landings on the west side, but on the south, who knows? Once Raipur is finished, I'll start deploying some muscle towards some of the more vulnerable areas.
I don't know if this bodes ill for Australia and New Zealand or not. Having the troops is one thing. Getting them over safely is another, and I'm pretty strong in the air at these spots. Same with Suva.
1943 will be interesting.
This is fun. [:)]

No, you are correct they will not respawn elsewhere. Which means that once Wenchow and some other bases fall, China truly will run out of troops.
I admire your tenacity and drive to play on; I think others (including myself) would be too disheartened to continue at this point. That being said, the road to victory is a long one and it's going to require very disciplined but decisive approach. For one, I think you need to rethink your attritional approach in India and focus on maneuver more. Indian and British squad production is too limited; if you take heavy losses you won't be able to replace them.
I think the focus for you in 1943 is building up some tempo and feel for offensive campaigns in the Pacific. You have a long ways to win the war and a land heavy approach is probably out of the question at this point. It doesn't really matter where you attack as long as you can do it effectively; go for the weakest points in the Empire. Once you can start getting some momentum it will allow you think more about how to bring about the collapse of the Empire.

Regardless, his navy will most likely be going extinct within two years. Long before that, subs will start tearing his merchant fleet a new one. Asia proper will probably just become a sideshow to the move across the Pacific. If/when the Royal Navy gets build up at India, I can think about Ceylon. Amazing how that spot of land can dictate everything naval in the area.
I don't think I'll be hitting the Gilberts until I have at least an Essex and a few CVLs added. I'll have an armada of CVEs by then. I think I'm up to 7 or 8 now.
I'm still going to take Adak once the troops are ready, and play it by ear after that. I'll probably start moving from Suva to Noumea and Luganville also.
I would have love to have known how badly I hit Akagi. For all I know, she's just scratched.
Even in real life if China fell and India was getting overrun, I doubt the US would have come to terms. I'm content to see this to the end, as I'll only get stronger.
This is probably my last game against a "boosted" Japanese setup. I'm starting second game as the Japanese, and want to have what they really had.

Someone recently posted that Chinese troops began appearing in one of the off-map Russian bases, the one closest to N. China. But in that AAR, Russia was activated and that may make a difference.

A British infantry brigade departed Cape Town yesterday, bound for India. Their armored brigade reached Raipur. I'm getting the fatigue down a bit before I take a shot. If it starts to look not good, I'm going to pull everyone back.
One of the 38F squadrons in India is converting to 39Ds. My pool is too far down to replenish them, and I don't have enough Gs yet. I think another squadron converted without my say so, which I've been trying to tighten down. I'm going to need more CAS planes anyway. They're experienced enough where they can probably protect themselves okay.
My 8th CVE departed Panama yesterday with an AK.
