OK the intent of this game is fight it out v the AI

I asked for opinions and recieved such a mixed bag with some votes for all options that I am playing both options

1941/42 v the Jap AI
1943 v the Allied AI

OK Setting AI on Hard
Scen 2
3 day turns

My first job is to stop the Japanese offensive

I have one self imposed house rule - units may only operate outside of national boundaries if restricted if PP's are paid

As the allies I want to delay the Japanese as much as I can but avoid wasting assets.

Areas of concentration will be Fiji, Canton, PH, New Cal, PM, Java, Ceylon and Burma

Looks like Lexington tangled with a retreating KB near Wake and picked off more than Lady Lex could chew

But her SBD's managed to get a couple of hits in and the Japanese have a long way to go home

Begginging my turn 1 preparation and taking a long look around

I will find out in 13 months !!!

Just finished India

OK issues lack of deployable assets

Air I have

12 Lysander's
4 Blenheims
4 Waipitis
12 Audaxes
2 DC 2's
6 Vildebeestes  

With about 8 more Audaxes and 12 Waipitis being released for active duty in next 3 days

All obsolescent and weak - not enough to defend India.

Also the stirring up of the wear declaration has meant that Calcutta is no longer fully garrisoned so I need to find a Bn or two to reinforce Calcutta

16/5thj Mahrattas are en route to reinforce
6/9th Jats/ 6/6th Rajputs and 1st Patalia Lancers (Indian Cavalry) as well

I will need to scrape around to find forces I can deploy to Assam

At present only Assam Rifle Bns are protecting the Indian Frontier

Great work Andy, and thank you for sharing the details.
The details clearly show changes to the AI over vanilla WITP....almost a whole 'nuther game.

I admit a prejudice for one day turns, and have limited (and very recent) experience with 2 day turns, but the risk of losing Halsey goes up too darned high to even consider 3 day turns.

Maybe WITP2 might have the ability to change turn length mid-game.....

I find 3 day turns against the AI to be a lot more fun - otherwise we as players micromanage to much because of our panoramic perspective

i.e. we get to much control

Becfause I am playing this one for real I am going away from History I am not sending 18th Div or the two Indian Bdes to Malaya and beginning a mass evac using my PP's

So elements of the Malay garrison will be withdrawn as ships become avaialable

Im a little curious as to what happened in that surface action Kongo and Haruna vs PoW.

Were told maximum nighttime visibility is ~12,000yards at present. Theres no contact mention of the Japanese becoming aware of the British force, while the British clearly have a radar contact.

And then the Japanese shoot first.

Isnt this a little odd? While I have no doubt the Japanese would have responded reasonably to such a night attack, the fact that they get they drop on the British here is pretty wierd.

One explanation I can think of is the British getting a little overzealous with their illumination rounds and proverbially shooting themselves in the foot.


Of course, on the otherhand in normal WitP I've seen Warspite singlehandedly trash both Fusos, Nagato and escorts in a night action in spring 42....



Otherwise though, I look forward to this, especially once you get into 42/43.

Thanks for taking your time.

No "almost" about it, Bob. It's been said before, but it bears repeating: if you play AE like you would play stock, you'll get your backside pummeled.

For me, the lesson was to relearn to use submarines properly. Took a long time, and cost me a lot of boats.

Great work Andy, and thank you for sharing the details.
The details clearly show changes to the AI over vanilla WITP....almost a whole 'nuther game.

I admit a prejudice for one day turns, and have limited (and very recent) experience with 2 day turns, but the risk of losing Halsey goes up too darned high to even consider 3 day turns.

Maybe WITP2 might have the ability to change turn length mid-game.....


No "almost" about it, Bob. It's been said before, but it bears repeating: if you play AE like you would play stock, you'll get your backside pummeled.

For me, the lesson was to relearn to use submarines properly. Took a long time, and cost me a lot of boats.





This is more good news, and maybe I need to be convinced (sometimes) with a hammer, but if anybody has any doubts, I am ready for AE..

Six BB's sunk at PH and the Japanese come back for a second day? "Very unrealistic", "losses too high at PH", "game engine is broken" . . . blah, blah, blah. I am sooooo glad that the AI has some variability built in. This is lookin' good.

Only 3 were sunk on day 1 the others succumbed on day 2

Between those losses and POW going down today that leave NO operational BB's in the whole theatre....

I have ordered a temporary base of operation in SOPAC at Pago Pago

2 CA's and 16 DD's along with 2 AO's and an AE for support will assemble to cover that area.

SWPAC an Australian/NZ and French Sqn is assembling at New Cal

Two ABDA Sqns are forming at Soerbaja and Darwin.

All of these sqns will be light on heavy hitters.

I am going to try and make a stand on Java and at Pegu in Burma

But the loss of those heavy war ships isgoing to make it tougher

More to follow

ORIGINAL: JuanG

Im a little curious as to what happened in that surface action Kongo and Haruna vs PoW.

Were told maximum nighttime visibility is ~12,000yards at present. Theres no contact mention of the Japanese becoming aware of the British force, while the British clearly have a radar contact.

And then the Japanese shoot first.

Isnt this a little odd? While I have no doubt the Japanese would have responded reasonably to such a night attack, the fact that they get they drop on the British here is pretty wierd.

One explanation I can think of is the British getting a little overzealous with their illumination rounds and proverbially shooting themselves in the foot.


Of course, on the otherhand in normal WitP I've seen Warspite singlehandedly trash both Fusos, Nagato and escorts in a night action in spring 42....



Otherwise though, I look forward to this, especially once you get into 42/43.

Thanks for taking your time.



Actually the message is just too imprecise. All ship combat is one-on-one and we issue a message for each "duel". There's some variety in the message based on a number of things (including random) - lest we have a constant stream of "x and y fight". The check that generated the message above looks like it could use a small adjustment. I'll put on a rubber glove and sneak up behind it....

I find it encouraging that people other than testers are doing AARs. It must mean that the design team believe that they have a finished product at hand!
