good strike....wasn't ready to go into the hornets nest of Clark/Manila yet, but it looked like i was able to tempt a few squadrons from those fields to due battle over Bataan.

Upgraded the AVG to P38J's (they were still in P40E's)...can't wait for these bad boys to be ready

Post by ny59giants »

Since Kenny has spotted the movement of over 1 million men towards Chungking I can announce that the march on Chungking has begun. The attack should come some time in the next week. Stay tuned for the mother of all assaults. Several units took a wrong turn on their way from Chengtu so the assault will be lighter than expected.

I guess that some of the lower units (regiments and battalion) level did not get their GPS navigation units yet.
ACME must be slow in their production.

You should change some of your LBA to ground attack and not just against the AF.

RE: The march on Chungking

Set up a computer controlled supply convoy between two HI bases, but only include MSW in it. Works great to keep the region clean, as the MSW doesn't even pick up supplies - just cruises between bases getting rid of mines. I had to resort to this quite often in '45 when my opponent was mining the crap out of Japan by sub and air.
Just one of the many ways that life sucks for Japan late in the war. Get used to it...

Planes from Manilla tried to protect Naga from a raid and got slaughtered.

Last of the Chungking assault force (minus the wayward units) should be in place by next turn. Due to fatigue their AV has dropped from 20K to 17K. I hope this is enough since I will only get one shot at taking Chungking.

Death or glory

Post by RUPD3658 »

The assult on Chungking will happen next turn. Final assaulting AV is 17,777. All have supplies in the white but none have double. Weather is overcast so there should be a preliminary airstrike to keep the defenders disrupted. Defender AV is at it's lowest ever recorded (9077) so I am optomistic. Fingers are crossed. All JFBs can help by saying a short prayer for my success

Death and glory at Chungking

Post by RUPD3658 »

Well the shock attack on day 1 was a success acheiving a 3:1 margin despire horrifiic losses. They did not have enough left on Day 2 to continue the progress. I will wait a few days for replacements to arrive along with the wayward units.

Elsewhere a massive air battle at Manilla resulted in many planes being lost on both sides. I did discover that Georges are a match for P-38s. I need to increase their production lines.

Submarine Warfare Report

Post by KDonovan »

Here's the stat's from my submarine warfare against Japanese shipping....

few things first...
- we are playing with Allied Sub Doctrine ON, which expired July 1st, 1943
- Allied subs torp dud rate was 40% from Jan 43' to Sept 43' and is 10% currently
- I started my submarine campaign in Jan 1943
- the current date is Feb 18th, 1944 (about 12 months of submarine warfare)

Results...
Japan Losses
- 4 DD
- 4 MSW
- 1 ML
- 33 AK
- 19 TK
- 3 AP
Points - 483 pts

Allied Losses (not counting mining missions)
- 21 SS from ASW Naval Forces
- 6 SS from ASW Airforces
Points - 275 pts

Ratio
1 sub lost for every 2.5 japanese ships lost
For every VP loss, i'm gaining about 2 pts

Not the best results. There was a time i was sinking 5 ships for every sub loss, and eventually got to up to over a 10:1 ratio. But then Tom starting concentrating his ships in well protected convoys and blanketing the sky with aircraft on ASW patrol to great effect. The result was the plummenting of my loss to kill ratio.

Despite these depressing results, i will continue with my submarine warfare efforts, as there is still a net gain in points for me...however small. Plus i'm sure it annoys Tom [;)]

For other players facing similar Japanese tactics, i can make only one suggestion. Always keep your subs moving. Its time consuming every turn to redirect my subs, but its the most effective way to keep the number of air attacks and ASW attacks down, in such a hostile enviroment.

Upon reflection of these results, this all seems very realistic. Like the germans in the battle of the atlantic i had my "happy times" period, but once the enemy started running more effective convoys with heavy air patrols, it's become more lethal to be a submarine skipper. In light of this i would suggest (and i assume Tom would also) not to waste the first turn port attack on hitting Manila harbor and all her submarines. Like the Allies in real life, the Japanese can successfully hamper allied submarine warfare efforts with real life tactics. Better to go after the BB's at Pearl Harbor or Singapore.

RE: Submarine Warfare Report

This is what would have happened with a deliberate assault instead of a shock attack:

Day 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ground combat at Chungking

Japanese Deliberate attack

Attacking force 1082816 troops, 11626 guns, 1776 vehicles, Assault Value = 21139

Defending force 263235 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 9060

Japanese max assault: 20485 - adjusted assault: 4383

Allied max defense: 7344 - adjusted defense: 1765

Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 9)

Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 8


Japanese ground losses:
94806 casualties reported
Guns lost 2728
Vehicles lost 86

Allied ground losses:
5115 casualties reported

Day 2:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ground combat at Chungking

Japanese Deliberate attack

Attacking force 945301 troops, 7735 guns, 1632 vehicles, Assault Value = 14739

Defending force 256494 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 8696

Japanese max assault: 5318 - adjusted assault: 961

Allied max defense: 6828 - adjusted defense: 1569

Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 8)


Japanese ground losses:
31008 casualties reported
Guns lost 910
Vehicles lost 80

Allied ground losses:
5740 casualties reported

End result would have been that I would have lost about 100 less VP worth of troops and had far less disrupted. On the flip side I would be facing lvl 8 forts. Either way this is going to be long and bloody.

What I can't figure out is why my 3000+ engineers have not lowered any fort levels.

i probably leveled all the oil facilities on the first bomb run, therefore no targets for the 2nd run

Thoughts on Loading Infantry Divisions....

Post by KDonovan »

Most Allied players will realize that when they are planning offensives into 1944, they will find themselves severely short of AP's and LST's. For example, currently i only have enough LST's to carry 3 Inf Divisions. (despite only losing 1 LST in the war) While the number of AK's available is ridiculous (by that i mean, i have too many)

Therefore i've devised a loading technique to get the best use out of your Transports when loading Infantry LCU's. Lets use a US Inf Division as an example. You will notice that if you take one transport of any type (AK,AP,LST,etc) and load an Inf Division, that the heavy equipment will load first (ie Howitzers, Mortars, etc..) Now if you look at the capacity points of the 3 major transports in the game you will see the following...

AP - Troops (1 pt), Artillery (3 pts)
LST - Troops (2 pts), Artillery (1 pt)
AK - Troops (6 pts), Artillery (2 pts)

as you can see the LST is your ideal Transport for loading Infantry LCU's as its the most efficient. While the AK is only good for loading Artillery and AP's are only good for loading Infantry. I already told you that i only have enough LST's for 3 Divisions, which means i need to make use of the my numerous AK's and less numerous AP's. Unfortunately you can't manually separate the Artillery and Infantry in a Infantry Division in the game to make utilization of AK's and AP's more efficient. But i've come up with a way how....

Since Infantry Divisions will always load Artillery first...its best to load an Infantry Division with AK's first. So if you load an Inf Division with 2 AK's (7000) on turn 1, and 1 AK (7000) on turn 2. You will load 99% of the LCU Artillery and only 20% of the Infantry.

*Loading 3 AK (7000) on turn 1 is less effecient, than splitting the loading 2 AK (7000) and 1 AK (7000) in separate turns.

Now that most of the heavy equipment is on AK's (3 of them), you will be mostly left with Infantry and Support squads, which require AP's. This is more straight forward, in which i find using 4 AP (4000) to be the most ideal.

So in the end i have 7 ships carrying a US Inf Division (3 AK, 4 AP). If you were to just use AP's to load the entire Division, you would need 6 AP's to carry a US Inf Div. So my method will save you 2 AP's per Division, which adds up quickly in 1944. For example, if loading 10 available Divisions in 1944 using my method, you will save 20 AP's for use elsewhere (ie carrying HQ's)

I've also downgraded my method for use in RCT, in which i find 2 AK (4500) and 1 AP (6000) to be the most ideal. Or for ANZAC Bde's [1 AK (7000), 2 AP (2000)]. Soon enough this method will be tested in combat.
