Squads: 1 destroyed, 0 disabled
Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled

19 troops of a IJA Infantry Squad lost in surf during unload of I./124th Infantry Bn


Considerazioni:

Proseguono le solite operazioni sulle Filippine, la forza aerea statunitense inizia a dare cenni di cedimento.
Il fatto importante della giornata è lo sbarco a Singkawang, la cui posizione strategica è talmente importante da poter essere definita "Una dei chiodi sulla bara di Singapore".
Ho dato disposizioni riguardanti la guerra sottomarina, i subs andranno ad operare vicino la costa statunitense, credo che per quanto riguarda i subs si debba agire in modo più aggressivo possibile.

Considerazioni:

Ho commesso un errore da fesso, non ho considerato la scorta per i bombardieri che sono andati a colpire il porto di Singapore. Ne pago le conseguenze anche se almeno una bomba in pancia la PoW se l'è presa!
Buon colpo messo a segno contro la marina mercantile del mio avversario, spero fossero piene di supplies e fuel! Comunque è proprio ciò che voglio attuare nei riguardi delle Filippine, una guerra mercantile che riduca pelle ed ossa le forze presenti sull'arcipelago.
La formalità Guam è stata archiviata senza alcuna preoccupazione ne grosse perdite fortunatamente.
Imminente lo sbarco a Balikpapan, che conto di prendere in 2-3 turni al massimo.

Considerazioni:

Alla fine il volere dell'Imperatore ha prevalso! Eliminare il pericolo determinato dalle forze presenti nelle Filippine prima di organizzare una qualunque altra operazione offensiva. Proprio per questo alle spalle di Manila, precisamente presso Mauban è avvenuto un importante sbarco delle forze imperiali.
Nello stesso giorno come preannunciato c'è stato lo sbarco a Balikpapan, la resistenza è parsa debole, ma le sorprese son sempre dietro l'angolo.
Per il resto discreti successi contro obiettivi minori, i soliti trasporti alleati.

Considerazioni:

Ok, devo ammettere che la mossa atta a contrastare lo sbarco a Singkwang mi ha colto di sorpresa, fortunatamente le truppe erano già a terra, ma è comunque una brutta perdita.
Pesante bombardamento del porto di Hong Kong, che riscatta parzialmente la brutta battuta d'arresto subita a Singkwang.
Balikpapan è in mano nipponica, non è servito un grande sforzo bellico ma è un tassello necessario.
Ho una forza da sbarco pronta a sud del Vietnam, ma devo attendere la KB per la copertura aerea, temo però che quando arriverà sarà troppo tardi per poter ottenere un vantaggio dallo sbarco a Marsing.

 

Secondo me l'uso della KB in quella zona è sprecata , usa la mini KB.

 

Daniel... ok che sarò l'ultimo a poterti dare consigli, ma una flotta da sbarco va protetta... hai BB, CA, CL, DD che probabilmente hanno gli equipaggi che stanno prendendo il sole ne mettevi qualcuno con la flotta da sbarco e altri a protezione e portavi a casa una probabile vittoria navale.
Ti serva da lezione...
e non farlo più.
L'imperatore sta affinando la katana...

ps con un AMc sei andato?

 

...dal mare e dal cielo. Sempre.

E cerca di portare con te del supporto aereo da sbarcare (almeno quando invadi un nuovo 'continente', come appunto in questo caso); battaglioni (IJAAF Bn e/o IJNAF Unit) o al limite anche solo compagnie (IJAAF/IJNAF Coy), per poter così avere un minimo di copertura aerea in loco una volta conquistata la base.

Se non ricordo male sono TF già bell'e pronte all'inizio, in rada a Cam Rahn Bay con destinazione Miri (Borneo).

Considerazioni:

Turno di passaggio. Di importante c'è la presa di Singkwang, che ora dovrà essere adeguatamente fornita del necessario per diventare un trampolino di lancio per le incursioni aeronavali su Singapore.
Inizia la battaglia di Hong Kong, spero di non doverci lasciare troppe penne. Ho inviato un paio di TF ad intercettare del naviglio nemico che sta lasciando Hong Kong.

 

Singkwang blocca tutto il mare sotto Singapore, è fondamentale, soprattutto perchè blocca Palembang

 

E come sanno i giocatori Alleati , Palembang un pò soffre in fatto di supplies.

 

Giusto, ma devi avere in loco un airHq.

 

Un buon giocatore nipponico lo sbatte subito l'hq, vero Morrison ?? ? vero?????

 

?

 

l'HQ Aereo arriverà a Singkwang nel giro di 2-3 turni.

 

novità?

 

Abbiamo un problema tecnico

 

Quale problema? E' il messaggio che appare ogni volta che carichi un tuo save.

 

Eh non è mio, è la mossa che mi ha inviato lui.

 

Probabilmente non ha premuto End Turn, fatti rimandare il file.
