| Post subject: | S3 # 120 Fall of Malaya - Series Summary |
In frame 5 the IJA had clear air superiority over Singapore, but many of her aircraft (9 fighters and 3 bombers) fell to British AA gunners. The Commonwealth Air Forces, assist by the Dutch, trusted the Army to withstand the IJAAS blows, conducted a series of attacks against Japanese shipping and other transportation targets to slow the Axis advance. These efforts were hugely successful, sinking 17 enemy ships, 4 bridges and fuel dumps, but not without serious losses and the closure of two airfields at Singapore. Frame 5 Score Allies: 128.5 pts Axis: 75.0 pts First three frames were neck-and-neck, with frame 4 giving the axis what was thought to be a major victory. Massive losses of axis shipping in frame 5 severely hampered the IJA advance. The 22 Army, short of supplies and ammunition, was found wanting at the gates of Singapore. Series Total Allies: 505.5 Axis: 486.5 Allied victory in defeat. Malaya still fell. Full Series scoring here. Well fought, all! <S> |
