Scenario 1 - Roccia vs Gamma (Alleati) - NO GAMMA!!!

Turno 28 - 3 Gennaio 42

Lotta sottomarina

L'olandese SS KXVI è stato colpito 5 volte da una TF ASW jap presso Tawau e ne è uscito malconcio. Si dirigerà a Soerabaja per riparare i danni più urgenti.


Molti i siluri alleati inesplosi anche in questo turno ma , ciò nonostante, qualche colpo è stato messo a segno:

Luzon
Le truppe jap sono entrate a Clark Field poco dopo che le truppe alleate avevano completato il ritiro a Bataan. In città è rimasta solo l'unità di batterie costiere "static". La città cadrà sicuramente domani.
A Bataan ho raggruppato circa 1500AV con 30K supplies mentre i forts sono a livello 3 in crescita: vedremo quanto potrò resistere senza supporto aereo.

Cina
In questo momento è il teatro che più mi preoccupa: i B-17D stanno facendo un discreto lavoro martellando le truppe jap che avanzano verso le mie basi, il problema è il loro numero troppo esiguo ed i tempi per riparare i veivoli danneggiati. I bombardieri cinesi ad ogni modo stanno acquistando esperienza turno dopo turno anche se partono da un livello medio di 40


Inizia l'assedio di Kukong, dove stanno però convergendo altre unità jap:

Cina
Continua la pressione jap su tutti i fronti aperti a nord, centro e sud. Anche dove i cinesi sono forti in AV, i supplies sempre scarsi condizionano la lotta!!! Se sfrutto i supplies per alzare i forts non ho rifornimenti per le truppe, inoltre non posso attaccare per non bruciare quel poco che ho.
Nota: la via di Burma è ancora aperta, che succederà tra poco?
Ho deciso di spostare 18 aerei trasporto che si trovano a Java sotto bandiera olandese in India per rinforzare il ponte aereo di rifornimenti tra india e Cina: un'altra goccia nel mare .

Perdite Aeree
Da un paio di turni ho notato un incremento nel numero di aerei persi dai jap per usura: questo dimostra come Gamma stia dando fondo a tutta la sua aviazione per chiudere i giochi al più presto nelle Filippine ed in Malesia.
Le mia perdite sono diminuite perchè preferisco preservare le poche unità rimaste per la seconda ondata di conquiste jap cercando di colpire i suoi trasporti nelle fasi di scarco. Nel frattempo spero che i piloti alleati acquistino esperienza, visto che i mezzi a disposizione sono molto scarsi, ahimè!

 

Turno 32 - 7 Gennaio 42

Lotta sottomarina
Presso Soc Trang, il sottomarino olandese KXIV ha silurato per ben 3 volte il cargo jap xAK Tatsuho Maru.

A Truk, silurato un cargo carico di truppe (xAK Kiyoshima Maru, Shell hits 1, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage) da parte del sottomarino Spearfish.


Cina
In tutte e tre le citta sotto assedio (Nanyang, Kukong, Changsha) ho deciso di consumare supplies e rispondere al fuoco dei cannoni jap.
A Changsha sono arrivati i rinforzi cinesi e il bombardamento è risultato piuttosto efficace:

Malesia
Le truppe jap stanno assediando sia Temuloh che Kuala, bombardate dal cielo giorno dopo giorno. Teme che le truppe inglesi non resisteranno a molti assalti.


Mindanao
Sbarco jap a Cotabato.


Port Moresby
Oggi dei cacciatorpedinieri in scorta ad un cargo hanno bonificato delle mine jap, sicuramente lasciate da SS jap nello scorso turno. Questo mi fa pensare che PM sarà uno dei prossimi obbiettivi di Gamma: per questo sto cercando di accumulare supplies nella base. A Sidney sto raggruppando anche diverse unità di superficie provenienti da Java, alcuni sottomarini e anche l'Enterprise. Tra una decina di giorni potrebbe arrivare anche la Lexinton, attualmente in rotta per le Fiji. Se ci sarà l'occasione spero di far pagare un alto tributo ai jap.

Cina
Oramai è chiaro che Gamma sta cercando di effettuare una grande manovra a tenaglia conquistando a Nord Sian e a sud Nanyang. Sto spostando ulteriori contingenti verso queste due città da Loyang e Chengch. che rischiano di essere tagliate fuori dalle linee di rifornimento.

A complicare le cose, la situazione a Nanyang si sta aggravando.
Il primo assalto jap ha già diminuito i forts nonostante gli AV cinesi sulla carta fossero quasi come quelli jap.

Anche a Kukong per ora siamo in vantaggio ma sono in arrivo rinforzi jap e la base è martellata dal cielo dall'aviazione Imperiale ogni giorno.

Sono comparsi degli Oscar in CAP sulle truppe jap in avvicinamento a Sian. Alcuni B17 sono stati danneggiati. Perso anche un SB-III cinese.

Sul terreno si alternano turni in cui fermiamo le truppe jap a quelli in cui migliaia di cinesi sono letteralmente fatti a pezzi. Oggi, per fortuna, i jap non sono passati:

Analisi produzione aerea

Divertendomi con il tracker, ho scoperto che la produzione alleata di aerei mensile (tolti i modelli destinati ai russi) arriva a sole 290 unità nel mese corrente. Consideranto però i modelli obsoleti ancora in produzione e quelli destinati a compiti non di prima linea (recon), questo numero scende ancora.
Per esempio: poco più di un centinaio i caccia disponibili in questo mese (solo 8 Wildcat per la marina però).
Cominciano ad arrivare nuove squadriglie in India dotate di Hurricane e anche nel pool ne ho già una decina: saranno la mia speranza contro Oscar e Zero per difendere i cieli indiani. Visto però il loro numero esiguo, dovrò affiancarli ai Buffalo ahimè.

Con questi numeri, uniti all'esperienza media dei miei piloti, è impossibile arrestare la marea jap..almeno per il momento

Cina
Ho concentrato buona parte dell'aviazione cinese attualmente in prima linea contro le truppe jap a Kukong, dove anche Gamma martella con la sua aviazione (con effetti ben maggiori).
In città il rapporto di forze è ancora a mio favore ma, visto l'esperienza delle truppe cinesi, non so quanto questo valga in effetti:

Luzon
Oggi segna la fine definitiva dell'aviazione USA a Bataan e più in generale a Luzon: perso anche l'ultimo P40B contro le preponderanti forze nemiche. Ora mi rimangono molti piloti esperti ma senza aerei (il pool è a zero).
La base di Bataan è martellata dai bombardieri nemici ma i forts sono quasi a livello 4.


Sumatra
A Medan avevo spostato nei turni precedenti una squadriglia di Buffalo inglesi da Singapore a protezione della base. Oggi sono entrati in azione contro degli Ann: 2 risiltano precipitati senza nessuna perdita nostra.


Mindanao

Malesia
Continua il martellamento dei bombardieri jap contro la base di Kuala Lumpur. Il morale e la fatica delle truppe inglesi oramai sono fuori controllo.

Intercettate delle navi jap intente a sbarcare truppe a Rabaul: da Port Moresby dei Catalina e S.23 Empire hanno impegnato le navi nemiche. In assenza di CAP avversaria qualche colpo è stato messo a segno: questo dimostra ancora di più quanto sia strategica la base aerea di PM!

A Nanyang la situazione si fa preoccupante, i miei rinforzi non arrivano in numero sufficiente a colmare il divario con i jap, che a loro volta stanno facendo affluire altri rinforzi!
Ho concentrato in Ground Attack anche i B17 presenti in Cina nella speranza di guadagnare tempo:

Buone notizie da Changsha: le truppe jap si sono ritirate. Adesso sto cercando di spostare 3 corpi d'armata per otre 800 AV verso sud dove prevedo che Gamma sposterà molti rinforzi e dove sono già in difficoltà.
Spero di fare in tempo visto che i jap possono contare su una velocità di movimento superiore alla mia.

Pacifico
Cominciano ad arrivare con regolarità i rinforzi partiti dagli USA verso PH, PagoPago Fiji e Aleutine. L'utilizzo delle scorte di cacciatorpedinieri nei convogli, se da un lato ha diminuito il numero di convogli che possono partire scortati, dall'altro sta garantendo un numero di navi che giungono indenni nei porti molto alto.

 

Turno 38 - 13 Gennaio 42

Lotta sottomarina
Altro turno negativo: ho perso un DD ed un AM in missione ASW presso Port Moresby silurati da un SS nemico, mentre un cargo che aveva finito di scaricare carburante a Noumea è stato affondato se pur scortato da un cacciatorpediniere.

A nord i jap si sono aperti la strada per Sian, sfortunatamente le truppe cinesi in ritirata sono andate a sud e non a ovest quindi i jap hanno l'occasione di interrompere la strada tra Sian e LoYang senza altri sforzi. Sto spostando altri contingenti da Loyang verso Sian per interrompere il flusso di rifornimenti alle spalle ai jap una volta avanzati, non posso fare altro per ora.

Sumatra
A Medan i Buffalo inglesi hanno abbattuto altri 3 Ann jap che si sono presentati stranamente senza scorta. Colpite lievemente le truppe a terra: qui Gamma sta riproponendo la strategia usata in Malesia: stremare le truppe con bombardamenti aerei per poi ridurre i tempi di conquista.

 

Turno 39 - 14 Gennaio 42

Lotta sottomarina
Il sottomarino jap I-160 ha urtato una mina nel porto di Bataan: non risulta affondato però.

Presso Cam Ranh Bay, è stato silurato il cargo jap xAK Lisbon Maru da parte del sottomarino olandese KXI.

Malesia
Ho cercato di sorprendere le truppe jap di stanza a Johore Bahru con un bombardamento di aerei olandesi partiti da Sumatra, ma ho avuto la peggio: molti i Nate in CAP. Ho perso stupidamente 5 bombardieri 139WH-3 prima di arrivare sull'obbiettivo.

A Nanyang continua il massacro delle truppe cinesi, asserragliate in città: i miei rinforzi sono lontani mentre ho individuato nuove unità jap in avvicinamento, non si mette bene.

Luzon
Gli aerei jap hanno bombardato il piccolo porto di Bataan affondando un PT e un AK già danneggiati nei primi turni.


Malesia
La quiete a Singapore è finita.
Numerosi caccia Oscar in missione sweep sono apparsi oggi sulla città: i Buffalo inglesi hanno fatto il possibile ma inferiori di numero e in mezzi hanno avuto la peggio. Ho perso in un'unico giorno 12 apparecchi contro solo 8 Oscar (che partendo da basi più vicine hanno piloti meno stanchi rispetto ai primi turni).
Molti i Buffalo rimasti danneggiati: a fine giornata gli apparecchi operativi erano solo 6! Ho subito spostato i 16 Buffalo di Medan a Singapore per riequilibrare il prossimo scontro ma temo che non potrò resistere molto con queste perdite.


Mindanao
Cade Malaybalay al primo assalto: nonostante la base avesse ancora supplies e i forts fossero quasi a 3, i soldati filippini si sono arresi in massa!!!
Credo che anche qui i bombardamenti aerei abbiano influito pesantemente sulla volonta di combattere delle truppe alleate. Adesso tutta l'isola è in mano nemica.

Nanyang è caduta. Come temevo la differenza di forze in campo non mi ha lasciato scampo. Pesantissimo il tributo pagato dalle truppe cinesi. Le unità adesso si stanno ritirando verso Sian.
Con la caduta così improvvisa della città si è aperta una falla nello schieramneto difensivo:Ankang è totalmente indifesa. Sto facendo convergere nuove truppe dalle retrovie, ma se il grosso delle truppe puntasse in questa direzione si aprirebbe per Gamma la conquista dell'intera Cina centrale!

Visto gli sviluppi negativi che sta prendendo la campagna di Cina, ho deciso di giocarmi il tutto per tutto sferrando un po di offensive a sud dove credo che il rapporto di forze sia ancora in parità se non addirittura a mio vantaggio. Spero in questo modo di alleggerire la pressione Jap a Nord.

A Kukong, ho sferrato un attacco pur sapendo la condizione tragica dei supplies. L'attacco è fallito ma almeno anche i jap hanno avuto perdite come i cinesi: è già qualcosa!

A Liuchow, ho notato che le truppe jap si stanno ritirando: ne approfitterò domani per sferrare un attacco anche se il rapporto di forze qui sembra più paritario, ma almeno in questa base ho supplies.

Da Kweilin farò adesso scendere alcuni corpi d'armata per inseguire le truppe jap in fuga. Successivamente le truppe adesso a Liuchow si uniranno a quelle di stanza a Nanning per tentare un'offensiva verso l'Indocina.


Truppe cinesi sono entrate a Chaochow che sembra lasciata sguarnita da Gamma: proverò domani l'attacco, spero che nella base siano presenti dei supplies visto che le mie truppe ne sono quasi a secco!
