E: The 14th brigade was part of the 3rd division and for some reason you can't combine the various sub units to create the whole division.

Since Grey captured a lot of pixel people early on, can he reuse those pixel people as labour or part of his army?

All the prisoners were herded into large vats and rendered down to their constituent Victory Points.

A lot of grogs get weepy when their kawaii-force Wehrmacht or Mecha Musume engage in atrocities, especially if they have to play it out rather than read even reminders. - Thanks, Gradenko! RA Rx fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jan 26, 2017 |

To achieve that goal it'd probably just be easier if you played as Great Britain.

I faintly recall a Rule the Waves LP (or maybe it was its prequel) where you actually did beat Britain as Germany, except that because of the retarded rules of the game, it wasn't actually possible to beat Britain, despite trashing their entire battle fleet in a disaster that would've seen Jacky Fisher himself hung from a lamppost in front of the Admiralty.

   They still have a few duds.   I told you morons to stay home!  The Kates get a hit at least.  Efate needs some extra troops to do the job.   We hit a troopship.   We keep on ploughing through the forts.   Time to throw some more guards units into Efate! Luckily its not a long distance to travel.  A slow trickle of losses.

I've been stuck in Dutch Harbor for 9 days with very little to do and I've read through this whole thread. Now I'm reading other AARs and about pilot training on the Allied side. Does Grey have a program for this or does the Japanese side not have that luxury?

  That should be the last of the little buggers.  I need to check to see if the runways here are still working.  No more troops on my island thanks.  Another liberator downed.  We come out on top in air combat here. A rare experience at the moment.  Keep up the pressure!  Only one layer of forts remain now.  We lost a lot of planes on the ground, but had a good day in the air!  Down you go!

I think it was more of a counter-offensive move by the Chinese deathstack than a proper defense.

  Its always the tankers.  We stop more troops arriving at Efate.  It looks like they are rushing in support – into our air cover.  Unfortunately, their own air support is less distracted this time.  We still come out on top though!  Not that I'm happy with the Battleships taking hits.  at least we are getting men ashore.  Another bloody day at Hankow.  No forts left for the enemy here!  That was a nice day for sinking allied ships.  Shame about the tanker.

500lb SAPs can definitely hurt battleships. I assume none of the damage was major?

Honestly, your BBs soaked 12 bombs that could have sent that entire reinforcement convoy to the bottom. I'd take that any day.

I think that it is counting the number of times a plane got damaged, and three of the Bettys got damaged twice.

I just did a test, first turn, 27 G3M2 Nell's attack Wake Island. Initial Allied Aircraft = 4 F4F-3 Wildcats During combat, 5 more F4F-3's were scrambled. Combat results show "F4F-3 Wildcat x 4", the initial number of CAP aircraft. Edit: Morning raid on Iba, initially only 1 P-40B Warhawk in the skies above. Combat progresses and 7 P-35s are scrambled. None of them show up on the "Allied Aircraft" list. Jobbo_Fett fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jan 29, 2017 |

goatface posted:12 launched, three turned back with mechanicals? If 12 launched and 3 turned back due to mechanical failure, they wouldn't show up in the combat log since they never made it that far. Edit: If 12 made it into combat and 3 turned back due to engine failure, it would show 12 aircraft in the Axis Aircraft, since it counts initial numbers.

  All the big ships are here!  Apparently it's lose a liner day!  We take some hits as well.  The Fuso is hammered.  The Liberators are massing again.  We're slowly winning here.  While our battleships have been hammered, we also hit a few big ships – not enough to sink them I think, but lets have a look.  The enemy dive bombers are killing us.

29 January 1943 US cruiser Chicago, torpedoed by IJN aircraft in the Solomons, then again while under tow. British AA auxiliary Pozarica, damaged by torpedo aircraft near Bougie, later capsized during salvage operations.
