Status: offline 		I've found that sweeps are usually more damaging to me, than my opponent, especially when up against the AVG. I know this is stock, so my experience is really with BB1.4 on this matter, but you will need to overwhelm the AVG when flying offensively and grind them down when they are flying escort missions. Mix it up, make him unsure where to base them, damage and disrupt. Oscars, IMO, should never really fly in Burma/China they just can't handle the British fighters this late in '42. Infact, use them as trainers, you are due other models soon, aren't you ?

Status: offline 		Yes I just got TONYs & TOJOs but it seems to be taking a very long time for them to become operational. Actually in the report I am about to add, 27 TONYs and several Oscars were escorting a strike and 7 P40B from the AVG intercepted along with a few Chinese I-16's. I lost 5 Tonys and several Oscars for only 5 P-40Bs.

Status: offline 		In my experience, that is usual. It is very frustrating for the Japanese player, but you have to wage a war of attrition with the AVG, escort missions cost me a lot in the past. I did better when my opponent used them to escort. I went from offensive to defensive as soon as the AVG were around... even still I lost a load of planes and pilots.

And if I did try to attack I made sure that:-
1. High alt
2. within normal range
3. well rested pilots
4. overwhelming force

And even this was so-so ... I was happy with 1-1 losses!

I'm sure others have better advice on dealing with the AVG. Stock also doesn't give great A2A results, so be careful & good luck!

Banzai!! Darwin has finally been captured. It is more a relief then a celebration. But I have forced the surrender of 44,000 Allied troops. Unfortunately everything is a mess and ALL the resources are damged. Hopefully with over 300 Engineers there, the airfield will be in working order in a few days. I will move a few smaller units towards the contested "crossroads" to the south, while giving my divisions a day or two to rest. Hopefully I will be able to shift a brigade to Broome to link up with the Unit coming from China.
 
In China my 1st use of TONYs was sub par at best. 7 P-40Bs from the AVG & 6 I-16c's shot down 5 Tonys, 4 Oscars, 2 Vals , and a Lily in exchange for 5 Tomahawks & 2 I-16c's. My fighter escort outnumbered him by more then 3:1 and I still took a beating. I can't believe that I am unabvle to push his troops out of Canton, he must be getting the multiplier for being in an urban hex. (my only guess). I plan on making another attack against Ichang soon, but I'm thinking about moving in a unit from the east 1st...one of the three units which have cut Ichnag off (hoping for something).
 
Unfortunately Floyd has withdrawn his carriers up north and is trying to bait me in to chasing them towards his tons of B-26's and B-25's at Dutch Harbor. I may tease him this turn to see if I can reinforce & resupply Adak Island.
 
My plans in the Southern Pacific will be revealed this turn and we'll see if its another folly or something better. Luganville finally upgraded to a level 4 airfield!
 
His TF with the Louisville and Destroyers were yet again unstruck by my Bettys at Kwaj and even managed to beat my MLs who were 1 hex out. They destroyed 1 and apparently got in and out before the mines were laid. WOW and I had the MLs at full speed. Oh well.

In various air-to-air combats, 11 F4F-4 Wildcats are downed.
More units become operational flying both TOJOs & TONY's.
Betty bombers torpedo several AKs off Efate.
IJA forces drive back the Australian 7th infantry Division from the crossroads. This will set him back several days and may allow me to wreck his remaining force of Cavalry.
Japanese troops land at Efate and as I feared it seems he has been flying in a large part of the 24th Infantry Division. Only time will tell if we are succesful here.
 

Also on the plus side of the ledger, the CA Louisville hit a mine while attempting to bombard Wake again. Unfortunately it was unspotted while retreating. I can't believe that my MAVIS's at Wake can't seem to spot them...not once in three attempts (all in decent weather).

Although I do have another SNLF unit landing tomorrow, plus the rest of these units.

Is it true that when you land Parartroopers in a hex they have a negative adjustment ot the defenders adjusted AV?

Another pretty good day for me. More troops unloaded at Efate, but for some reasons all my Sally's @ Luganville again refused to attack his troops at Efate. His deliberate attack ate up alot of my supply though. Thankfully I sink another PT Boat...why does every combat w/American PT Boats start @ 2000 yards? 
I went looking for the AVG over Ichang woth many Tojos & Tonys but didn't find it, I wonder if he is running out of planes. In China things went ok, that a little shocked at how well he did in PAkhopi, I didn't expect him to reduce the Fortifications so quickly....especially whenm itys been taking me forever at Ichang WITH Engineers!
And Yes Virginia, apparently NICKS are worthless. I had hoped to shot a couple of B-24's down....unescorted B-24's attacking Wake. I may have to withdraw the Nicks and send a Sentai of Tonys there when I can.
Them one thing I can not believe is that the TF w/Supply heading for ADak Island Did Not move an inch! Stayed in same hex and refueled itself which took 250 op pts (as I see) but come one you were to move full speed 2 Hexes! I had Zero's on LRCAP! Arrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh....now the weather isn't as bad.

I hate being right about things. My AK half loaded w/Supply was spotted as it moved into Adak Island. Not only was it hit by the searching Cornado, but it took several bomb hits when it was attacked by B-26's from Dutch Harbor (my CAP was only semi-effective). What is even more frustrating is that another IJN Destroyer is sunk by three 50 cal MG hits from a PT Boat; one which supposedly was able to penetrate and explode the DD's magazine! My PT Boats were never able to fire a shot, while the American ones fire and hit in every combat we've had!
Good News my Tonys & Tojos did a number on the AVG over Ichang downing 18 Tomahawk (in exchange for 3 Oscar & 1 Tojo). Hopefully this will add to his current poor morale...three good turns for me (in his perception)...I'm not sure this one was so pro me, but I'll take it for now.
Ground Combat in China makes no sense to me. It seems I can not kick out his troops from Canton, I can only guess that they are getting the Urban Hex bonus...even though they do not control the city (base). With hundreds of engineers I cannot reduce the level of Fortifications in com,bat after combat. With his Chinese, he does it in back to back combats at Pakhoi. The Brigade at Pakhoi and the one slowed in the forrest now appear doomed.
 
Hopefully the threat of my CVLs off the New Hebrides will scare him from sending more supply from the Fijis to Efate. I may have to use my last reserve Paratroopers to take Efate.
 
I wonder if his Carriers are still up North?

I guess I just can't figure out the land combat system at all. Once more I attacked Ichang with two full Engr Rgts in addition to several Divisions and brigades (with many Engr Squads) and once more not only was my assault massacred but the fortifications were untouched. He has been cutoff for over a month and only receiving an occasional trickle of supply from the Chinese Air Force (perhaps on those days I don't LRCAP Ichang), yet his AV was more then tripled! I thought that perhaps by moving a Tank Rgt in from the Opposite side of Ichang I might get some sort of "your surrounded" bonuc...guess not.
 
More crazy Surface Combats against PT Boats. Why when the IJN surprises the Americans do only one or two of the IJN ships fire, yet why I am surprised all of his ships open fire upon me? Am I really this unlucky? While anohther day another 50 cal MG which explodes a Destroyers magazine...although this destroyer didnt sink its only got 50 system damage. But I did sink several PT Boats.
 
An airstrike I planned on Noumeas port turned into a disaster as several Betty crews were lost for Nothing!
For some reason known only to the AI a TF loaded with the "B Rgt " of the Imp.Gd.s Div began unloading on a coastal hex between Rangoon & Akyab. I'm glad I had ordered it to proceed to akyad @ Full Speed...by the way it didnt move.
 
Only real good news was my attack on Broome, which not only reduced his fortifications but also caused him a great deal of casualties. My attack at Efate, well that sucked! My Av was adjusted way down and I might be in trouble ther as well.

Once more my forces are ravaged by American PT Boats and again they escape w/o harm; 4 PTs attack a PG, a CS, &  a DD . . . . can we at least score a hit?
We get a good bombardment to prep for my assualt on Broome which reduced the Forts to Zero! I hope I can take Broome tomorrow. I got a great Aerial bombardemnt of Efate and while the combat results said 11, the air losses page showed 19 F4F's destroyed on the ground!

Carrier Battle in the Aleutians - 9/30/2008 2:17:40 AM

Status: offline 		Well we had another carrier battle up in the Aleutians - August 23rd, 1942. My plan of moving on his flank and hiding the SHOKAKU worked. He admitted that he had no idea that I had 3 CVs up there. He thought maybe the ZUIKAKU, HIYO, and a bunch of the CVEs, but not another fleet carrier. Actually he thinks I had the HIRYU, not the SHOKAKU because of the Air Groups involved. I took of the SHOKAKU"s planes to train them in China and reloaded her eith the HIRYU's air group. Hell they've been sitting around and training since early June.
I was able to sink the HORNET, but wasted several strikes as an additional strike of 22 Vals went after the HORNET as she was disappearing beneath the sea. In the PM Phase a few Kates came in on the WASP, but they all missed! Oh what I would've given to put one 18" torpedo in to her side!
On my end I found the potential trade acceptable. I will probably lose the HOSHO now at 73 sys/84 flot; and the UNYO maybe in trouble 74/29 (but the fires have decreased to only 5). I still hope to save both the HITO and TAIYO who are in the  55/35 range. If I trade the HOSH and a CVE for the HORNET it'll be more then worth it!

Well it look the WASP & SARATOGA have retired for now. I will stay vigilent in case he tries to attack my CVEs who are beginning to straggle. Hopefully he will wait another day or two, which may allow my Bettys & Nells to factor in to things.
 
My Nells found some targets as Floyd moved a RCT in to position to unload at Adak Island. I figure they most also be bringing more supply for his Marines.
 
Down south near New Caledonia a BB the IDAHO was found escorting a large troop carrying convoy. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that he is heading for Koumac. I wonder how large a force he is bringing? I havent seen any part of the Americal Division since I destroyed a large part of it at Guadalcanal. He has to be bringing in at least one more division, but from where.....Australia? I guess we'll find out tomorrow, unles he is doing something really crazy like trying to invade Lunga or Gili Gili.

His forces invade Koumac but only with elements of the Americal Infantry Division. His bombardments were mediocore, but my planes did not strike his transports nor his Battleships-which was very disappointing no Betty or Kate strikes. My CVLs were just north of Koumac yet didnt fly a single strike. Only a few of my Betty's at Luganville flew, and they went after a Minesweeper? Come on there are Aks & Aps all over the area loaded with troops, plus a pair of Battleships and we attack a Minesweeper?

Up north his Aks & Aps finished unloading at Adak Island and there were no strikes from my two Fleet Carriers. Actually there may have been one attempted because I did see 10 Vals with an unable to locate target message, but that would be less then half the available Vals on those carriers...plus what about the Kates? Only 12 out of 27 available Nells....[not counting the 9 damaged ones], at only 20% Naval Search I thought I get a # closer to 20 in the attack.

TURN NOTES
WOW I thought...and I after checking I realized I had...ordered those destroyers to bug out of Adak Island, but for some reason they decided to stay and get slaughtered....arrrggghh.

I really though with 50+ Bettys at Luganville, I get a couple of shots at his transports or Battleships....maybe tomorrow. Once more a Night Surface Action sees over 40 Long Lances fired and only 1 hit! (the other torpedo hit was a 21 incher). Dang it...I need more hits with my Long Lances...I mean we started at 8000 yards!
I really thought I'd just need the single division to drive that 'portion' of the Americal Division back in to the sea. I mean come on, he's unloading and got to have a high disruption....oh well once more something I can get right. But if he is unloading how does his AV get adjusted up?, while mine was cut in half?

My Air Raid at Imphal was horrible! My frontline fighters from decent squadrons couldn't hold their own against outnumbered British fighters!

Troops are reshuffling in China to deal with his threat on the Southern Fornt.

Strange, but interesting turn, not sure who "won" that this turn. His subs got loks and made runs on the UNYO & ZUIKAKU and luckily neither scores a hit.
Very bummed by the 17 Betty's who could only score 1 hit against his AKs at Koumac; Floyd felt that the loss of his F4F's more then made up for it; I disagree.
He attacks in China north of Canton at 43, 40 ; and while he gets worse odds, he causes more casualties and takes less then last turns 1:1. Also in China several sentais of Army fighters choose not to fly an escort mission...I hope this is not starting again!
