Well another day in the war and this one went a little for Japan. I sunk 2 DD, 1 AP, AK and 1 SS !!! Yeah, finally have a confirmed sub kill. My subs are still shooting some duds, but they are starting to get hits as well.
I had a good day in the skies over Singapore as my bombers put many torps into Rob's merchant ships crowding outside Singapore's harbor. Not sure what he is doing with them there, but not worried as I'm killing them pretty good - and if they try to run, they won't go fast [:D]

RE: December 18
CINCPAC has reported the sinking of an enemy submaring 250 miles west of Pearl Harbor. "Disturbing, but satisfying," Admiral Nimitz was quoted as saying. Credit for the kill was given to the crew of USS Hatfield out of San Diego.
The BBC Singapore is reporting that naval officials are as pleased as could be with the recent resupply of our brave troops fighting the Japanese at Singapore. More then 30 supply ships have docked in Singapore, offloaded and gotten away. A recent major Japanese air strike sank 2 empty transports. The Royal Navy now believes that the Japanese will step up their naval attacks to offset allied attempts at resupply Singapore. However, necessary supplies have reached the troops, this time.
Recent movement of enemy troops near Rangoon has allied officials worried. It is believed that a major battle could heat up at the British base soon.
BBC Singapore is also reporting that the Royal Rifles of Canada and the Winnipeg Grenadiers continue to fight valiantly to defend the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. Despite being cut off without any hope of relief, the soldiers continue to hold off the Japanese invading hordes.

OOooooo I'd love to know if rroberson landed troops or just supplies into Singapore...........looks like he is committed to holding it which will give Xargun heartburn.
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

He resupplied at least - there are a lot of AKs there.. He could have dropped off more troops too, as I have seen (and sunk 1) AP there too, or they could be renegades from the SRA carrying whatever he felt safe loading on them - more supplies. Personally landing troops would be a mistake - especially any amount of troops that would matter - as it would make Burma alot weaker allowing me to hold him at Singapore and take half of Burma while his men starved. I bet it was just supplies and maybe some resource/oil.
I'm not worried about Singapore, it will fall, just a matter of when... Right now I have several British units trapped at Moulmein, as I control the rail north of that base - also north of Rangoon - so both bases are cutoff from supply. I basically did an end run from my base nearby (starts with an R). I also have a couple Chinese units cut off at Nanning - not sure what to do with them - kill them, or just hold them so he can't get new units.... I'll probably just kill em or drive them deep into the jungle.

So how many troops did you send ? And how many were historic ? Did you Shock Attack ?

Sent in the 38th Div, 3 artillery units and the 104th Div. Then i spent a few days softening up the HK garrison unit with bombardment and most importantly, air attack from Formosa.
I was still expecting a fight but it turned out to be a major overkill (not complaining though!) got 32:1 odds on first attack using Deliberate. With the new LCU rules, i RARELY ever use Shock Attack anymore unless i have good reason.
In fact in the entire game with Kid i have only ordered one Shock Attack so far in 3 months worth of fighting. (at Mersing.....needed to take the base and force a surrender ASAP! backed it up with a massive air attack first though!)
Given the odds, i'm figuring i could have dispensed with the ART units and maybe the extra division, but it never hurts to be careful. Every IJA squad and gun saved can be used for future campaigns + the lack of wear and tear made the 38th Division immediately available for operations in the PI's.
The biggest factor was the air attacks.....they hit the HK garrison unit very hard and disrupted it severely
RE: December 18
Every air attack I use against HK does nothing.. Kills like 5 men.

RE: December 18
You may not be using enough airpower, but keep in mind too, that its not the casualties that are the most important factor, its the disruption your attack causes. A heavily disrupted LCU is a fraction as effective in battle as a rested undisrupted one. I wasn't even looking at the casualties when i attacked HK.
Casualties only become more important when one is seiging the enemy such as at Clarke, Manila or Singapore. There you do want casualties since they largely represent men and guns becoming disabled.
I just repeated my HK preformance at Manila and only just missed doing it same 2day turn at Singapore (the latter....got 4:1 odds on day two on Fort level 4.....one more digit and Singapore would have surrendered!)

Oh good Nik give him more advice because he isnt wiping the map up with the blood of my men as it is [:'(] I feel like im fighting the combined brains of all the betas at once....
I don't believe he is going to have a lot of trouble with me on the ground in Malaya, frankly I'd be shocked if I held the ground another month, despite my recent resupply efforts. The PI is a different story, I hope to hold it well past the historical date...we shall see though....

You must be lucky. I've had 5:1 odds and such in a base with fort lower than 5 and still did not capture it..

Well its been a couple of slow days in the war. Both Air and Sub attacks have sunk 3 Allied ships and 1 IJN ship - all merchies and 1 US PT boat. I have captured Changsha (Not sure if I posted it before or not) as well as Vigan, Naga (PI) as well as Makin I and Tarawa. The battle for Hong Kong still going and it looks like Rob is trying to relieve the pressure by attacking Canton with 2 Army Corps and 2 Base Forces. The men I left behind (1 division worth) is holding him fine and beat back a deliberate attack costing him roughly a 1000 casualties to like none of my own.
There are a few other units in China scrapping at Nanning (I think) where Rob has a pair of Corps attacking my base. Basically its a delaying action to slow my advances down and the units are dead, as they have no access to supplies of any sort.
IN Burma I have Moulmein and Rangoon cutoff from further help and supplies from the north, but he can still supply via ship if he wants to brave my LBA based in Malaya now. My men in Malaya are waiting patiently for some relief in the form of supplies and HQs. Its difficult transitting enough supplies for these units while Rob has used subs, some DDs and aircraft to harrass my resupply fleets. Just now I am unloading the second wave of troops into Malaya and hope to start my offensive back up within a couple days.
Rob is promising some surprise action within the next day or two but we will see... I have several weak locations, and a couple others that just look weak. We will see what he hits and who wins out in the upcoming battle. I'm assuming its USN based along my islands somewhere, or perhaps with leftover allied ships in the SRA / Malaya area. I will see what he has.
My ASW is finally doing a better job. I have 1 confirmed kill and ave hurt two other subs - possibly sinking. My subs are still popping a few torps into his warships as he sails overtop them - especially at Canton Island area where I popped a DD and took no real damage in return.
I myself have a couple operations in progress but will not take place for about 4-5 days due to the 'fast' speed of transports. Not sure if I'll surprise him or not, but we will see.

RE: December 20
I'm surprised there are still servicable AC at Clark. How are you doing in the PI anyways?

I'm surprised there are still servicable AC at Clark. How are you doing in the PI anyways?
I have both southern bases, as well as the complete northern half... I'm missing the big 3 - Manilla, Clark Field, Bataan as well as San Marcelino and Lamon Bay. Lamon Bay has nothing there as far as my intel says so I'll skip right over it and attack into Clark Field next - or San Marcelino..
Nah there are a lot of engineers in Clark fixing those planes with dirt and bamboo. Not many flying, but a few - mostly fighters. Every few turns I bomb Clark Airfield and Manilla Airfield just to say hi to them. I also run fighter sweeps from time to time just to kill off aircraft. My zeros are better than his fighters and I can resupply / repair them easier than him.
