I expect a visit from the last of his surface assests next turn. He has only lost 4 BBs and a few CAs so he is still pretty strong. I have mauled his CLs and DDs but the CVs are still intact too.
As far as air assests, he has to be running out. He is producing 560 Franks, 319 Georges, 120 Zekes, and 136 Tonys per month and has lost almost all he has produced. Once I whack a few factories they should stop coming back. I am bombing armament factories to stop the rebirth of mauled LCUs.
Once Matsuyama is releived I will have an airbase from whcih I can dominate the HI. There will be nowhere left to hide.
The problem is that I am trying to get to 2:1 VPs by 8/45 so every point I lose is 2 I must score. Last turn I destroyed 1050 AC but lost 550 so I actually went backwards as far as my goal.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
i had some similar results in one of my earlier games as japanese:
Day Air attack on TF at 69,36
Japanese aircraft
A7M1 Reppu x 190
D4Y Judy x 73
B6N Jill x 187
Allied aircraft
F6F Hellcat x 69
F4U-1 Corsair x 314
Japanese aircraft losses
A7M1 Reppu: 190 destroyed
D4Y Judy: 54 destroyed
B6N Jill: 171 destroyed
Allied aircraft losses
F6F Hellcat: 5 destroyed, 2 damaged
F4U-1 Corsair: 47 destroyed, 14 damaged
the hellcat and the A7M1 are nearly equalent fighters and my japanese pilots were all above 70 XP.
i go with chris about the importance of HRs about AC stacking. players should arrange something to avoid such "arcade game" results.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
Again though guys stacking was NOT the cause of these massacres. When you look at the non-stacked combat ( 250 or so Allied fighters ) you find an even worse slaughter.
The problem here is not primarily stacking ( although stacking makes it more evident ) but, rather, the combat model which doesn't account for:
a) fighters running out of ammo after engaging a set number of targets and/or
b) the fact that while fighters are killing the escorts the strike groups will be racing into the target and getting hits before most of the defending CAP have finished destroying the enemy fighters.
It is a much more systemic problem than just overstacking and "curing" overstacking will NOT yield the solution you seem to be expecting.

Well, that's that settled then.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
We are both overstacking so that is why there are huge air battles. When the defending base has 4K AC at it you have to overstack to attack it.
Attacks outside the HI are coming from multiple bases which are not overstacked.
Hopefully these complaints can be limited to the new AE forum since the problem should have been fixed.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
There was no attack at Matsuyama so it looks like my beachhead will hold. The AF is now open and supporting fighters which is good since I once again lost a ton of Hellcats and have no replacements for them.
KB and freinds is on the way so we will have a showdown next turn. I have about 20 subs in the way so I am hoping theyr can pick some ships off on the way in and out.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
I got the best of the bloody surface action at Matsuyama. I may still lose 2 BBs but so far my losses were 2 CA, 1 CL and a few DDs. My PTs never engaged.
B-25s flew without escorts for some reason and got mauled.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
Several sqaudrons did not get the memo to stop bombing Maizuru and move on to Osaka. This has been corrected for next turn.
Strategic bombing campaign is being used to prepare the way for an invasion of Japan. I am not going to just rack up points by indescriminatly bombing industry. The lawyers in Civil Affairs tell me that I have to rebuild it all later if I do.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
More confusion with my strilkes. Hopefully I have it fixed.
Flak losses are mounting. I lost 175 AC to flak last turn. It is a cost that must be paid however.
Top targets for next turn are the 175 ships at Osaka and the armament factories near by. I hope that by destroying the armament factories and the resource centers I will have an easier time of it when I land in the HI.
I finally took Sabang after 2 months of trying. The significance of this base is that it allows me to transfer RAF fighters from India to the DEI and then into the fight in the HI.

Flak losses are mounting. I lost 175 AC to flak last turn. It is a cost that must be paid however.
Top targets for next turn are the 175 ships at Osaka and the armament factories near by. I hope that by destroying the armament factories and the resource centers I will have an easier time of it when I land in the HI.
I finally took Sabang after 2 months of trying. The significance of this base is that it allows me to transfer RAF fighters from India to the DEI and then into the fight in the HI.

The quest to destroy the armament factories continues. Numerous ships were sunk at Osaka but once again with heavy (100+) flak losses.
Bad weather and the need to rest/repair will limit strikes this turn.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
Quiet turn due to bad weather. Big air drop next turn. Hopefully it will go better than the last two did.
I hope to have the Jap armament industry totally destroyed by the end of the month. The invasion will be by the middle of the month once I have worked over the resources too

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
3 airborne brigades failed to beat a single base force. Pathetic.
Bad weather grounded most of my air force so very few strikes this turn.
Several Jap TFs have been spotted forming upnear Nagoya. I have a feeling I will be getting a visit at eithe Matsuyama or Takamatsu next turn.
