goatface posted:H81-A3 is the designation for P-40s sent out to the Flying Tigers. Why they're in Burma I'm not sure, but the fact they cheerfully chewed on some unescorted bombers is unsurprising. They originally shipped to Rangoon and were assigned to protect the Burma Road - some squadrons were in Rangoon and some in Kunming. They eventually all moved to China once their bases in Burma were destroyed.

   We take more damage from shore guns than anything else.  The enemy are surrendering here in droves now.   The Perch continues to cause trouble.  The hammering of isolated units continues.  They need to be destroyed for the safety of the populace.  There are so many of them though!   What the hell guys! Two to one odds and you get taken apart.  I thought I told you not to do this!  That's some bloody accident!   Well, that was something of a disaster! We still came out on top in points thanks to China!

A White Guy posted:You had them dogfighting at an altitude well-above their operational ceiling. The air combat model seriously overrates the advantage that a plane gets from diving on another. Unless it's a plane with significantly degraded performance at higher altitudes (which some have) or a major mismatch of planes or pilots, in a matchup of even planes the higher one will win pretty much every time. So it's advantageous to send in your sweeps and fighters at as high of an altitude as possible.

I'm rationalizing that they are just wounded men, not dead. There were just some really sharp stones on the beach. Also, this just gets stranger from here on out.....

Reminder: in the Allied LP we had a Japanese cruiser sail right into a harbour where Enterprise's TF was hanging out, doing a lot of damage before being sunk. Which is to say: weird things happen in this game.

No ship was listed lost at that landing, which I assume a munitions kaboom would produce. Maybe they just landed them into a boot-sucking quagmire as the tide was coming in.

   One of our subs takes a couple of hits.   Tanker!  Another day will finish this.  A much better day today. Why?  Well, first we sank a tanker.  Then we took Pegu without a fight, an scouts say Rangoon is empty. I can't believe it yet, but that's what they are telling me.

Obviously a prophet appeared who reminded your troops that the true Shinto is a peaceful one and they all became conscientious objectors and that peaceful path led to their easily convincing the defenders of Rangoon and the outlying cities to give up war forever and let your troops with their superior moral authority take over.

I always turn Rangoon into a fortress in my games to give China more supply. I'm in the middle of August and it hasn't fallen yet.

ZiegeDame posted:Probably shipped all those troops to Singapore. Yeah, they have to be somewhere. Here's hoping they're in the rear end end of Australia though. To confirm, Rangoon is the one you need to take to cut off the India-China supply route, yes? That's a major win there.

You only need to sever it's road connection to China which can be done at any point along the route.

Mikl posted:Reminder: in the Allied LP we had a Japanese cruiser sail right into a harbour where Enterprise's TF was hanging out, doing a lot of damage before being sunk. I'd forgotten about that, truthfully. Was that quite early on? I think I remember the Japanese stepping up their game like that after the shenanigans of the Dutch Navy cruiser detachment finally came to an end. But then again, surely the Allied AI won't make any kind of strange call like that... Grey Hunter posted:...Then we took Pegu without a fight, an scouts say Rangoon is empty. I can't believe it yet, but that's what they are telling me. Well never bloody mind then! All these years later I've still only ever dipped my toes in the shallow end of WiTP, but I'm pretty sure that if the above is true, this must be a death sentence for any Commonwealth forces in Burma who aren't a few day's march from the Indian border. After all, if Grey can just push on up the coastal roads from Rangoon towards India, surely all the troops stuck off the road aren't going to be reached by the Indian supply lines, without a port to get the supplies into? Not to mention as others have said that the Chinese supply route is stuffed even with only Pegu fallen. Hoo boy. One wonders if the Imperial Guard landing accident was a karmic backhander to balance this potential boon out.
