Mixed results with the lnading. One TF of MSWs got there too soon and 7 got sunk. On the plus side the minefield was pretty weak and the coastal guns non-existant so losses are less than expected. Second wave will land today.
My decisions to LRCAP Pescadores paid dividends. I had hoped to intercept transports flying in troops (I shot down 10) but had the added bonus of shooting down 50+ bonbers that came after the paratroops.
For the day I destroyed 295 Jap AC for the loss of 86 of mine

RE: Target Formosa!
Massive air battle over Tainan and I came out on the short end as Franks ravaged my CVE's Wildcats. I lost 489 AC for 409 Jap AC. A few kamakazis got through and hit transports.
I have ordered a shock attack for next turn and am hoping for the best. If the offensive stalls this could be a big problem.
Used my B-29s to lay mines on the west coast of the HI to prevent surface raiders from interfering at Formosa

RE: Target Formosa!
Shock attack failed so it looks like Formosa is going to be a prolonged battle. Estimates of enemy troop strength is now about 250K . As a result I have initiated a blockade and bombard strateg until I can weaken them enough for another attack. Had I realized there were so many troops here I would have gone for Okinawa instead. Recons were showing 30-40 LCUs but not giving a troop #. I figured that these were mostly fragments that had been pulled out of the PI and were very weak. I was wrong.
I beat Gordon to the punch by putting by bombers on AF attack as a primary rather than a secondary mission and caught his escort fighters on the ground. I destroyed over 250 for the loss of only 30.
My Navy pilot pool is now dry and will most likely be for the rest of the game

RE: Target Formosa!
Another good day in the air war. My deceison to escort the transports back to Manilla paid off.
B-29s are being used in a tactical role to destroy the supply generation at Formosa. I am planning to blockade/bombard for a month or so until the supplies run dry.
I have ordered an attack at Palambang for next turn. Hopefully the weeks of bombardment have destroyed the supplies there

RE: Target Formosa!
Attack at Pamambang just missed 1:1 odds. I should have better luck in a month or so.
Bombardment of Formosa continued. Bad weather will slow things down for next turn.
The last of the tranports TFs has finished unloading and is headed back to Manilla.

RE: Target Formosa!
He's got to be concentrated against you at Tainan - what do you think you'll face (troop-wise) with your follow up invasion?
Never Underestimate the Power of a Small Tactical Nuclear Weapon...
RE: Target Formosa!
I think he is all in at Tainan so I don't think there will be much more. He did a good job of pulling out fragments from the PI so I don't know his total strength. I bombed armaments factories this turn to slow the rebuilding of these fragments.
Phase 2 landing will be at Battan Island next turn. Once taken it will serve as a refueling base for bombardment runs against Formosa
Took Palambang so i need a new objective for the 2K AV there

RE: Target Formosa!
Took Battan refueling point on the way to Formosa. I am taking a shot at Tainan next turn so I may not need it if the attack goes well.
Raid up north sank several ships but since many strikes flew without escorts I lost as many AC as I destryed so the raid has to be seen as a failure.AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 09/29/44

RE: Target Formosa!
Yorktown was hit by 2 torps before the escorts sank a persistant RO sub. She will survive but currently can't perform air ops.
Nuked Tainan good this turn. A few more of these and I will try another attack
Good thing I did since it looks like a CD unit snuck in

RE: Target Formosa!
CD unit at Tainan hit a few more ships. More bombardment TFs are on the way to silence it.
After next turn all my LCUs will be in place for another attack. I only have about 3500 AV in reserve so thgis has to work
I mined the east coast of Formosa to prevent FT TFs from running in supplies and guessed correctly that supplies were being brought in by air. My LRCAP over Taipai shot down 18 transports.
CV raid in the north got a few more ships and will try to run down the rest of the convoys next turn

After next turn all my LCUs will be in place for another attack. I only have about 3500 AV in reserve so thgis has to work
I mined the east coast of Formosa to prevent FT TFs from running in supplies and guessed correctly that supplies were being brought in by air. My LRCAP over Taipai shot down 18 transports.
CV raid in the north got a few more ships and will try to run down the rest of the convoys next turn

RE: Target Formosa!
CVs obliterated a TK TF near Okha. Some survived and will be hunted down this turn.
Last of the LCUs are ashore at Tainan. Bombardment TFs are refueling this turn so that their attacks can coincide with the ground attack the turn after next.

RE: Target Formosa!
That's got to be just about his entire remaining tanker group right there - not much left after you worked them over.
Never Underestimate the Power of a Small Tactical Nuclear Weapon...
RE: Target Formosa!
Sent another 9 TKs to the bottom so his tanker fleet is pretty well gutted. This is not that big a deal since Okha is the only oil center that is not totally under Allied air control.
Going all out for Tainan next turn. There will be massive naval bombardments followed by every bomber in theater on ground attack and then a shock attack with tye 400K troops (15K AV). If this fails I may have to start considering a withdrawl from the island as I only have about 6K AV total elsewhere to bring in.

Going all out for Tainan next turn. There will be massive naval bombardments followed by every bomber in theater on ground attack and then a shock attack with tye 400K troops (15K AV). If this fails I may have to start considering a withdrawl from the island as I only have about 6K AV total elsewhere to bring in.

RE: Target Formosa!
One final shock attack took Tainan but the troops were so beat up that they failed to pursue as ordered. Yet another delay in my timetable.
Many units are below 50% strength so I am not sure how quickly I can clean up Formosa. The defenders were found to be 4 Divisions, 2 Tank Reg, and a mixed Bgd. I am hoping that the 60K spotted troops elsewhere on the island are fragments or support troops.

Many units are below 50% strength so I am not sure how quickly I can clean up Formosa. The defenders were found to be 4 Divisions, 2 Tank Reg, and a mixed Bgd. I am hoping that the 60K spotted troops elsewhere on the island are fragments or support troops.

RE: Target Formosa!
I screwed up an left my TFs at Tainan with too little fighter cover. No ships were lost but several will be out of action for a while. Luckily the flak was able to shoot down over 40 of the Bettys that the CAP didn't stop
The one that hurts is the New Jersey. She is docked about an hour away from me and I even contributed money to her restoration fund so i have a special affinity for her.
