The big challenge as Japan is not to run out of supplies. Once that happens it goes south quickly.

I guess you just have to fight like a bastard to hang onto that oil, protect the shipping lines, and stop US forces from making it over.

War in China going well. Chunking expected to fall shortly. <Image of Japanese shock attack being shattered>

Grey is one step ahead of you here, as he's been training his troops to fight without supply from day 1. You think the Hankow veterans care about a lack of supply? They'll be shooting down B-29s with rocks fired from slingshots made with the viscera and bones of their defeated foes.

The Japanese are so adept at fighting without supply that they can shoot down just as many B-29s without supply as with it!

   Clunk!  This is one of my fuel ships as well....  The battleships are still hunting.  Where are the bloody destroyers?   This is how many troops we have bottled up in Chunking.   It was a bad day for fuel carrying ships.  This hurts. It really does.

Grey can defeat their carriers, but there is no force in all the IJN that has a prayer of actually stopping the Silent Service. Their greatest weapon against them was the defective torpedoes, and as those fade, poo poo is gonna get ugly.

You can tell because the bombardment had a retaliatory salvo. If they don't they have no supply. The same applies for anti aircraft fire. Many people bomb chunking for months to burn supply.

Out of curiosity, how many points would it earn Grey to wipe out the Chinese in Chunking and take the city?

50,000 Chinese soldiers all bunched up listening at the gate to see if it's safe, and on the other side is one Japanese guy doing a bunch of different voices.

If you dump enough supplies on Japan it'll eventually reach fusion.

In all fairness though, the Musashi is a littttle bit of a bigger target than a submarine. And certainly worth risking your bomber against the remote chance of just laying her up in a repair dock for a few months.

   We bring down a Liberator!  Hmm, I need to stop bombarding.  Equal air losses! A good day!  I must have missed a sub or something.

  I think MOST of the planes are out.  We bring down another Liberator!  Then lose a bunch of planes over Efate.   We have a very good day in Burma!   US subs are getting more dangerous.  Not a bad day in the air war.  We confirm three old kills today!

I imagine it's really hard to estimate enemy casualties when all you're doing is shelling them with artillery from miles away. Also: if I understand it right, the main point of bombardment is that it causes Disruption, which doesn't show on the battle report at all. It forces the enemy to consume supplies and makes them worse at fighting in real fights. So: good players use bombardment as an important tool in a larger strategy for taking a city.

Oh hey, a win in the air. It might actually be around a month since the last, and it's a solid one at that. Good job!

  Our Liberator kill rate is climbing.  We attack at Namoua, and take heavy losses.  Owch, that was a bad attack.  We get a couple more kills confirmed.  Its the return of the terrible graphs!  Overall, its been a good month.  We're not advancing, but we're not losing much ground either.  I hate how much base points fluctuate.  Air losses are my big worry – each one is a hard to replace plane and pilot. 424 planes were lost this month, and I can't afford losses like that! We did kill 220 enemy planes though, but that's still nearly 2-1 losses!  Most of the important pools are empty.  Here are our top pilots.  There has not been much ground combat this month.  There have been a few ship sinkings – We lost 14 ships, and sunk 86 (confirmed). That's not a bad rate.  That's 1,136 points of sunk Allied ships! I call that a good month!
