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

Turno 47 - 22 Gennaio 42

Lotta sottomarina

A Bataan un sottomarino jap ha colpito due mine e risulta pesantemente danneggiato.
TF 46 encounters mine field at Bataan (78,77)

Japanese Ships
SS I-122, Mine hits 2, on fire, heavy damage


Presso Kuching il sottomarino KIX è gravemente danneggiato dal caccia Sagiri. Rientrerà per le riparazioni.


Devo dire che con l'installazione dell'ultima patch i sottomarini di entrambi gli schieramenti sono diventati meno attivi mentre le azioni ASW sembrano più efficaci. Almeno per il momento.


Filippine

Cina
Come sperato la città di Chaochow era indifesa e cade al primo assalto. Purtroppo nella base i supplies erano pochissimi, solo 20 tonnellate:

Servizi segreti
E' da un po di giorni che vengono segnalate importanti trasmissioni radio intorno all'isola di Kwajalein. Forse le CV jap sono in zona con parte della forza di superficie della marina imperiale: inoltre ultimamnete i miei SS in zona sono stati presi di mira da un intensa attività ASW. Sto mandando altri sottomarini per meglio presidiare l'area.
Sto cercando di rafforzare il più possibile Port Moresby e le isole Fiji, temo che possano essere due possibili prede.

Arma aerea
Ad oggi sono state molte le squadriglie aeree richiamate dal gioco. Molti bombardieri in USA e alcuni anche in Cina dove ne ho un disperato bisogno.
A metà Marzo poi dovrò richiamare anche alcune squadriglie attualmente dislocate a Port Moresby e ho paura di non riuscire a colmare i vuoti (tra parentesi anche due squadriglie di P40E del comando ABDA per un totale di 50 aerei )

 

Turno 53 - 28 Gennaio 42

Borneo
Primo scontro tra caccia olandesi B-339D e Zero jap a Tarakan e i risultati sono poco incoraggianti.
Fino ad ora ho cercato di preservare il più possibile l'aviazione olandese in vista della seconda ondata di invasioni jap mettendo tutti i piloti in training ma a questo punto dubito che potranno comunque fare molto visto i mezzi con cui volano!

Turno 54 - 29 Gennaio 42

Celebes

Una TF corsara salpata 3 giorni fa da Java composta da 2 incrociatori leggeri e 3 caccia ha attaccato oggi il porto di Menado sfidando l'aviazione jap.
In uno primo scontro la mia TF ha superato una piccola scorta jap per poi dirigersi sul vero convoglio. Un paio di miei caccia sono usciti malconci e credo che nel prossimo turno i Betty jap finiranno il lavoro. Il resto della mia TF è invece indenne e sta scappando ancor averso Java. I danni alla flotta Jap sembrano più ingenti.

A nord di Kukong Gamma non si aspettava una concentrazione tale di truppe cinesi. Adesso aspetterò ancora un turno per far arrivare un altro corpo con circa 290 AV e poi attaccherò a mia volta. Spero che anche questo diversivo distolga turppe dalla città.

A Siam ho deciso di ritirare l'aviazione: pesanti le perdite in termini di caccia in missione di scorta anche per l'AVG . Ho spostato ciò che resta nelle basi più a nord dove posso colpire le unità di terra jap senza problemi di CAP avversaria.
Molto meglio i B17 che anche senza scorta subiscono pochissime perdite negli scontri in aria.

Dopo le pesanti sconfitte odierne si fa ancora più critica la situazione per la Cina. Non credo che a questo ritmo potrò difendere questo territorio, il divario di forze in campo è troppo sbilanciato a favore dei jap

La situazione invece si fa critica a sud di Sian, dove Gamma può effettuare un aggiramento. Un nuovo attacco ha dimostrato ancora una volta come la mia prima linea qui sia debolissima. Sono arrivati ad Ankang le prime unità di rinforzo per un totale di circa 240 AV, più altre unità sono in marcia dall'interno della Cina incluse alcune unità di batterie: spero arrivino in tempo per difendere la città.

:sbav::sbav::sbav::sbav::sbav::sbav:

bel colpo a Sian complimentoni, hai qualche idea sul perché hanno reagito così bene le tue truppe all'attacco Jap?

 

Ho messo nelle unità più importanti comandandi cinesi migliori (per quanto sia possibile), inoltre giocare in difesa in quell'esagono comporta un bonus terreno che raddoppia i miei AV. Credo che conti anche il fatto che l'aviazione jap non stia martellando le truppe cinesi in questo esagono visto che è impegnata in altri fronti.
Inoltre tra un po di turni alcune unità cinesi si posizioneranno tra le città di Sian e Nanyang in modo da ridurre l'afflusso dei rifornimenti proprio a quelle truppe. Speriamo serva.

 

Turno 62 - 6 Febbraio 42

Borneo
Oggi una TF nemica credo col compito di sminare il porto si è presentata a Tarakan.
Subito i miei aerei che erano rimasti inattivi negli scorsi turni per non allarmare i jap si sono alzati in volo e una nave risulta seriamente danneggiata:

La stessa base è stata poi seriamente colpita dai bombardieri nemici: ancora una volta i B-339D olandesi si sono rivelati del tutto inadeguati. Ho veramente paura per le loro prestazioni quando dovranno difendere i cieli di Java e Sumatra!
