I thought they were reduced to like no AV. How are we taking 10:1 casualties in a deliberate attack?

Losing a 5th of the (tanks?) you brought in the first attack is probably not a good sign, yeah? I mean, yeah, most were only disabled but...

Where do the two Chinese units destroyed in Chunking go? I'd assume back to Chunking but there's no way that they can regain their strength again with the battle going on. If they did, it would be impossible to capture the city, which players have done before.

IIRC most people who capture Chungking do it by taking the city while most of the Chinese troops are out and about elsewhere. Grey's paradoxically kinda screwed himself by killing basically every Chinese unit on the board because now they're all in Chungking instead of spread out across the country.

The battle of Leipzig is the only one in the modern era that exceeds it at around 124,000 casualties, assuming that you are looking at battles that only involved soldiers and not also civilians. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 19:00 on May 19, 2018 |

So yeah that just cost you 250 points worth of army losses. Keep this up and you'll have won this in a few centuries when the engine hits a max limit of numbers and just goes "gently caress this, you've lost -2554 points total in army losses because gently caress you and your numbers"

Ffffffucking hell, I see this playthrough's machine spirit has decided that without KIAfeng (from the US run) to keep up the blood price, Chungking shall have to take its place.

Only 4 more fort levels to go! It should get less bloody from now on if you keep the Chinese from rebuilding.

It isn't that bad though right? Without supply they can't rebuild those level 5 fortifications either. Now to figure out if the points lost are going to be greater or less than the points gained by taking it.

Make sure you're bombing the airfield in Chungking every day so they can't rebuild their forts or gain supply!

Operation Ichi-Go was at least 600,000 military dead, so it wouldn't surprise me if this operation was similar.

So even being surrounded the city is permanently in supply and can keep on generating, even while under seige/bombardment and possibly air attack if Grey ever finds a nearby airfield to launch raids from?

wedgekree posted:So even being surrounded the city is permanently in supply and can keep on generating, even while under seige/bombardment and possibly air attack if Grey ever finds a nearby airfield to launch raids from? if Grey manages to strategic-bomb the factories into nothing, they will stop generating supply, which can then run out, which will then result in a low/no supply penalty. Chungking will always respawn the destroyed units (after 30 days IIRC) as long as it's still controlled by the Chinese.

It looks bad now, but the AI often likes to counterattack the day after you send your own wave in, so it's possible tomorrow will be even bloodier if the unsupplied Chinese troops attack.

A few mechanics notes: Destroyed units in Chungking respawn after 30 days, but they do so at 1/3 strength. Repairing a single point of industry damage costs 1000 supply. Aside from limiting the city's ability to produce more supply, bombing industry will burn what's there very quickly as well if the AI decides to repair it. Consider setting a LRCAP over the city to intercept any air transports. Not sure if the AI's savvy enough to try this, but if they are, hey, free plane kills! As others have said, bomb the airfield to burn supply and prevent their engineers from restoring forts. If you have a spare squadron of recon planes, have them fly daily missions over the city. The "detection level" of a hex factors into your dice rolls during combat, so anything to increase it will help. Finally, the manual alludes to a "daily allotment of supply" in certain bases, including Chungking. That could explain why we aren't seeing a supply (-) modifier in the combat report. The manual doesn't say how much supply's generated there, because of course not.

Why did they go with that dumb abstraction? Couldn't the supply generation have been split more pseudorealistically around the map, supply convoy arrives here, coal is mined here, factory is here, cut a couple roads and no more supply?
