Pacific Rim(job) [AAR] ITAK_Linus (ASIA UNITA) vs Kaiser85 (Alleati)

I cinesi cercano la fuga sulla strada a N-W di Changsha, ma la vedo male.

Io ho circa 800 bomber che colpiscono il nemico quotidianamente.


La cosa interessante è che Kaiser ha stipato circa 350.000 cinesi in un hex con SL=245.000 e quindi dubito le sue truppe siano in forma. Anzi. Ci sta che si faccia prendere dall'entusiasmo e lanci un assalto ai miei dentro la città fra l'altro, cosa che dovrebbe aiutarmi nel lento lavoro di logorio dei suddetti cinesi.


Nel Pacifico tutto tace. Credo.

beh, però l'affondamento della kaga e dei CS è un bello sgambetto, lui cos'ha perso, una BB?

 

Si. Ho fatto una cazzata io, giocando malamente da quando gli ho affondato le CV ed ho iniziato il match sul forum matrix.

La Kaga ha 10x200mm e per qualche bizzarra ragione ha deciso di ingaggiare le navi nemiche in un duello d'artiglieria. Cosa divertente, vero, ma anche pericolosa assai.

Ora ho deciso di riprendere a giocare con attenzione, sto scherzo qui mi costera' un 75.000 supplies per ampliare i NavShipyard e poter accelerare la qualunque, cosi da compensare per la Kaga andata giu'. Non che sia un gran dramma dopotutto.

L'AAR e' aperto, quindi non posso specificare oltre, ma ho piani ben delineati in termini di produzione navale. Credo di poter agilmente mantenere la superiorita' in termini di aerei imbarcati fino a meta' 1944. Chiaro, lui avra' dozzilioni di CVE, ma conto di "neutralizzarle" a modo mio.


Le CS sono una seccatura invece, io ci faccio sempre molto caso. Peccato davvero.

La colpa e' mia che ho giocato col culo dopo che gli ho tirato giu' le 4 US CV.

 

La domanda vera pero' e': che fai te alle 0200 a commentare l'AAR?! ahahahah

 

lavoro! tra una cassaintegrazione e l'altra...

 

ma lui ha perso una BB o manco quella?

non che gli cambi molto

 

La vedo male male a Noumea.

Per gli amanti di logistica e industria.

Gli alleati hanno perso due reggimenti di fanteria US Army a Tarawa e presto Noumea.

Fanno 162 USArmy RifleSquads.

Al tasso di 60 rimpiazzi al mese, significa che per circa 3 mesi gli americani sono senza rimpiazzi di fanteria. Non male.
Per non parlare dei vari devices.



Inoltre, il 21st Infantry Regiment ed il 19th Infantry Regiment sono parte della 24th Infantry Division, che quindi e' fuori dai giochi per diversi mesi, fattore non indifferente dato che e' una delle pochissime divisioni USArmy disponibile subito, con TOE pieno e senza costi di PP. Per non parlare del fatto che, avendo 2 reggimenti a PH, e' anche facile da trasportare (c'e' da preoccuparsi solo di quello nella West Coast).



Dispiace non aver eliminato anche truppe australiane a Noumea, ma tant'e'.

 

Mi sa che a Changsha hai un filo esagerato...

 

In che senso?

Dici che ho portato troppi AV?

 

Sempre peggio in Cina...:

Nel senso che hai rischiato di perdere tanto con questo shock, per come io interpreto i combat report...

Ground combat at Changsha (82,52)
Japanese Shock attack
Assault collapses, survivors seek cover

 

No beh una sola unità di tankettes ha fatto la shock attraversando il fiume a OVEST di Changsha e si è immolata catturando il bordo dell'hex. Il resto dello stack era placido in difesa o (le ART) in bombardamento.

Ho perso un'unità di tankettes, ma tant'è... L'importante è aver preso il bordo dell'hex, lasciando così una sola via di fuga ai difensori, sempre più in difficoltà.

 

Ah, bona, non avevo capito....

 

Nouméa sopravvive un altro giorno, in Cina la stiauzione nemica è compromessa.
