Status: offline 		This will be the AAR for my game as jap v john 3rd.

I see a thread created by john for the game against me. So i will do a AAR that will show my plans. This isn't going to be a full AAR more just for people who are reading johns thread so the have an idea of what i am thinking and what i am doing. i will assume his will have all the details, if it is anything like this AAR v mandrake and tabtub.

Will do the first update tonight.

He also doesn't like cutting and pasting the text of the combat reports, which is nice because we don't have to scroll down line after line of less-important air attacks. A suggestion: you might want to copy just the major combats, such as carrier duels, or surface actions, or the taking of significant ground strongpoints, and paste them into this AAR.

I will post major combats and also offensive and defensive plans of mine. Plus since this is my first big b game and first jap game some questions about how to function as japan.

I did all the normal landings on the first turn except I canceled the wake landing and held that group in port. I also canceled the landing at the south of Luzon and instead on turn 2 sent the wake attackers to take canton so I can establish a betty base to harass and slow down his shipping and sent the southern Luzon for after ambrosia.

I have landed small forces at Puerto Princessa and am landing a naval guard and base force next turn at jolo to create a airbase for bettys and to start the clear the PI and DEI of enemy aircraft. I currently have the 2 divisions that start the landings at northern luzon plu 2 more divisions on the way. I want to clear mindanao first so i have sent 1 bde and a full jap divison to attack. the only problem is i forgot to send any ships with supplies. so currently they are holding station till the transports arrive then the will land at cagayn

The 4th mixed brigade is preping for batavia.
meanwhile i have landed 2 bdes with another on the way at kauten to hopefully cut off some of his retreating forces i have 2 division and a tank reg crossing the thai/malay boarder next turn and they will proceed down the west side of the country to isolate singers. hopefully this force will be strong enough to take singapore. I have setup air bases at both of my captured bases and will be starting a heavy air campain to destroy brit airpower at singapore in 2 turns. also i am sending the nlf snlf and naval guard units to capture the small bases on the northern coast i have also dispatched the mini kb to patrol these waters and make the capture of this area quicker. The brunie landings are not doing so well i forgot to include supplies again with this landing. anm air dropping supplies in hopefully they can capture the base next turn.

have landed and captured amboina and will be moving a aviation reg in there in 2 turn will be moving at least 2 squadrons of bettys/nells to shut down shipping in this area. had a ap and a msw sunk when my invasion force meet pt boats at manado am sending a dd and a dd/cl sctf to deal with this. also a kendari invasion force is about 5 turns out. I want to shut down the ability to resupply java asap as such the kb is on the way back to japan to replace plane losses and refuel and will be heading for the dei imediatly afterwards.

Here i am going to try and take the undefended island. plus mount a good attack on wake but otherwise the only goal for this area is to make johns convoys have to go longer to get to australia and NZ. as such most islands like canton will be little more than nell/betty bases.

If you get a chance take Wuchow early, before his mobile forces from Changsha, Hengchow, and city (E of Wuchow) reinforce ... even maybe, before HK. It's much harder later ... Anything in the SE is up for grabs, but make sure you destroy them, no need to give him more mobile forces. I think Wenchow(E of Amoy, was weak in the beginning too ???)

As you know from the release notes: (but for less informed readers, I include)
"This vastly increased China has been counter balanced by the fact that most of it is static and may not move. Only 20 Chinese Divisions and 30 Chinese Corps start the game mobile. The rest are tied down in static positions that are immobile – Unless attacked and forced to retreat bythe Japanese. Thus, the Japanese player may ignore the Chinese juggernaut –so long as he does not activate them himself by attacking them. The idea isto recreate the quagmire that really existed for Japan in China.Also Chinese territory has been brought in line with CHS as to the 1941 start lines." but less supplies in 1.4.

I'm playing as Japanese, BB1.4 PBEM, my opponent has used his mobile forces well to harass my supply lines, it has kept me busy clearing them. And little time to combine forces to attack bases.

So I guess what you do is up to John's play, if you just fight in one locale, so-by giving him the chance to combine them, 10+ Chinese mobile Div's in one place might be a bit formidable. ...
Isn't a good defence a good flexible offence, as long as you don;t activate those static units, you're all good ...

I've made a play for Yenen up North, but the going is tough so far, with the view to go E-->W, cutting Burma, eventually ... BUT maybe it's just flawed !

My Southern troops, now couldn't even take candy from a child, they failed at Wuchow, as I waited too long to attack, and gave him a chance to get reinforcements... now Nanning and Pakhoi are out of the question.

Anyway look forward to reading what you do ... my AAR is http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1579074&mpage=1&key=

Well i am going to have to screen my landing forces with better units john kicked my but last night. And it appears i lost chitose to a glitch. when i issued my orders it showed her and her convoy one hex east of ambrosia and empty and heading for palau but then the next turn it showed combat with a sctf at ambrosia and that the transports still had supplies on them.....oh well.

Hi Bobo

Don't know if you are including the Aleutian islands in with Alaska, but if so I'd recommend you reconsider. They are a backdoor into the home islands via Para-watsit Jima and O-thingummy Jima nextdoor to Sakhallin. Backed up by LBA at Attu (which can become a huge airfield) a drive from the Allies in this area can be very hard to stop.

IMHO this makes it more important than ever to cut the Burma Road. China can then be ignored, or just the high-value bases taken. If things go well and you have spare troops you can think about invading Australia. But, so far things are not going all that well. You may have to settle for just taking the initial objectives, and then setting up a strong defense.

Status: offline 		Forgot to grab screenshots. i have setup nell/betty bases at mandano and jolo and have landed forces at kuchin(i have 4 nlfs at the place right now and am still not able to take it). I have just landed an snlf and a special baseforce at palamaburg i have 2 more nlfs on the way in 1 day. I also put a torp into pow about 3 turns ago.

Right now my 2 invasionfoces are leaving one for balik it is currently departing hinan island with an snlf a tank reg and a naval guard. it will be covered by a ca force.

my other invasion is leaving palau with an snlf and a special base force covered by a bb force for kendari. my goal here is to cut of the southerly flow of supplys into java(did i got to light here?).

I captured rabaul and am now sending the south seas force to capture lae. The kb is currently lurking here incase of an attack by the american carriers that were in the Gilberts area.

sorry fogot to take pictures last turn.
also in the attack for rabaul i spanked a australia ca tf.

Status: offline 		The dei. I have had a number of horribly planned and executed landings in the past 2 days. but have learned a valuable leson if you can't go with over whelming force don't go at all.
Currently at tarakan are 2nlfs my landings were attacked last turn by a cruiser tf. he took out a pc and 2 aps and i hit exetor and one dutch cl with 3 torps apeice. one other cl took a torp.
At kuching i have 1 base force 1 naval guard unit 1 slnf and 3 nlfs. but level 4 forts i can't make a dent in. i am rushing a tank reg and a combat engeneer unit to try and fix the situation.
I am pulling the naval guard unit off jolo to try and finish taking tarakan.
I have 2 major landing that i am moving ships and men for as we speak.
First 1 naval guard unit plus 1 tank brigade plus 1 special base force plus any units that are still usable from tarakan will assault balikpapan these will be screened by a cruiser force of 3ca 1 cl and 5 dd.
I am also planning to land at kendari about the same time. this force will consist of 1 naval guard 1 nlf 1 base force plus the 2 nlfs at manado. this will be covered by a sctf of 2bb 2cl and 6dd.
both ops will be covered by the mini kb.


damn it just had to retype everything cause of IE

on the way to singapore are the 5th div the 18th div the imperial guard dive and 2 bdes and one mixed brigade. If this isn't enough i have one dive from osaka/kobe on the way(forgot it's name. hopefully i can take singers by the 15th of jan.

the palembang landings have been covered by a 4ca 4dd sctf and now by a large bb tf.

I've used FireFox for some time, and in fact it's an official standard at the compny I work for (a major Fortune 500 corporation). They're even talking about "sunsetting" IE because of the numerous security issues. And, of course, it's a free download.

The balik landing went well forces landed captured the base and were out of there minus one tf i forgot to give orders to before johns' sctf could get there. plus i put 3 fish into one of his cl java as it is retreating. only mistake here was that i forgot to issue orders to a small tf of 2pc 1msw and 3ap to get out of the way of the sctf costing me 2 aps and 2 pcs. other problem here is i forgot to land the base force with the origional landings so it is 3 days out at least

Kuching fell 3 turns ago and now has 75 torpedo bombers based at it.

Palemburg finaly fell last turn it now has 1 9 plane formation on nells and 1 27 plane formation of bettys plus 1 27 plane zero and oscar squadrons based there.

also tarakan finaly fell 2 days go.

now for the good stuff and the screenshots

Sent the 4th mixed reg and a tank reg to deal with teloekbetoeng. captured singkawang with a suplimental landing of troops bound for kuching when it fell. also bombarded bratavia with a tf of ca's will bombard next with a tf of bbs and cas just leaving saigon this turn. My plan here is to build up kuching singkawan and palembang to wear down the dutch/british airforce.

Status: offline 		Fun. here the baby kb is meeting up with my new cvl and will proceed down the slot between borneo and celebes to try and catch his shipping and his major surface combatants in a battle it will be joined in this by the kb. also balikpapan will be turned into a major airbase as soon as my base force arrives.

I think my next invasion thrust here will be to grab bali and makassar so i can start a major air campain over soerabaja

That is the american kb i have confirmed at least enterprise is in it. it has also spoted my kendari invasion force and i am hoping will take the bait. that is the kb just north or morotai i have instructed it to move to the hex north east of ambonia in hopes of catching john being greedy. i will continue to have the kendari invasion force move in its current direction as bait.

The landing at kendari will consist of the these units in the current taskforce steaming west.
31st special base force 9th af consturction b
shuzan naval guards
sasebo 2nd snlf
And these units moving from manado.
kure 2nd snlf
21st nlf

they are covered by a sctf conisting of
BB fuso
BB yamashiro
BB hyuga
CL yura
CL kinu
Cl kitakami
DD sawakaze
DD yakaze
DD yukaze
DD wakatake

future objectives for this theater will be the quick seazing of lautem and koepang.
