we will see.. so far I´ve attacked only every second day as fatigued Japanese bombers are even more crappy than they are usual. Now I´ve decided to fly a couple of back to back attacks, perhaps this will be enough to sink the bastard... I know that I´m thinking wrong but damaging ships gives me nothing, I´m always up to sink them...

A ship for 6 month in a repair shipyard is the same like haveing it sunk for 6 months. It may be better to have them sunk forever, but some month away from the front is also worth something, no?

Ships can't be resolved in witp despite this happend dozend times in the war.
So why complain if a small number of ships survive intensive bombardements in a big harbour? Even if it isn't sunk, it'll be off the front for months...




i guess I don´t have to tell you how a CA would look like after five torp hits and 30+ penetrating 250kg bomb hits... there wouldn´t be much left that you could repair... after such hits, a CA would only be 98 independent pieces of scrap metal...

So its just fair and definitly no cause to complain.

your talking about something completely different my friend... completely

if a CA can sustain such a damage (you´ve followed how often it was hit?) in port then I wonder how good the damage routine works... there would be nothing left of this CA.

And I have yet to see a BB sink in port anyway after taking two torps. Only happens if it blows up and if a BB blows up then you can also not resolve it.

Parts of ships were solved, have you ever used a turret of a sunken ship on land? Have you ever expanded a repair shipyard as allied player?
Did the Allies ever have an agreement with the Japanese not to bomb ressources and oil wells outside Japan?
Did the Japs ever agree not to bomb China strategically? Is it realistic that a B-29 starting from Chunking to Tokyo flies over 30 airfields filled with Japanese Fighters and isn't intercepted exepct by the fighters at Tokyo (+1-2 hex)?
Was there ever an agreement of both sides not to use more than just 5-6 big carriers together (= in one hex)?
Is it realistic that my US subs off Formosa get sunk with a rate of about 2-3 per day by bigbabas DBs and LBs doing ASW - and still don't stay submerged at daylight - which would make them immune as the japs didn't have adequate radar for night attacks?
etc. etc.

It's a game and both sides are free to agree to HRs. So why whining about things you can't change? Accept them as they are, both sides can use much of them, both sides have "unfair" advantages the other side doesn't have. No need to cry - it still makes fun and it's still just a game...

I don´t feel provoked.

That´s the problem with the game. There are many things that you mention that you can adress with a hr, guess that´s not possible with everything. A ship not sinking even though it was hit by 4 dozen heavy bombs and 5 torps is something I would call a broken routine. And I wouldn´t suggest a hr that says "as soon as a CA is hit by a dozen bombs you should scuttle it". That´s hardly possible and that´s also not something I would want to have.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASW attack near Port Moresby at 53,91

Japanese Ships
SS RO-64, hits 1

Allied Ships
DD Nestor
DD Griffin
DD Foxhound
DD Van Galen
DD Arunta
DD Perkins

dejavus...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASW attack near Port Moresby at 53,91

Japanese Ships
SS RO-64, hits 4, on fire

Allied Ships
DD Nestor
DD Griffin
DD Foxhound

ouch, this time the DDs actually hit my sub... heading for Rabaul with 55 flt damage... a day without mine hits (3000+ mines resulted in two mine hits during the invasion and that´s it) and no sub attacks... another succesful resupply mission of the Allied...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day Air attack on Colombo , at 14,24

Japanese aircraft
A6M3a Zero x 48
Ki-49 Helen x 206
Ki-46-II Dinah x 6

Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-49 Helen: 2 destroyed, 16 damaged

Allied Ships
CA Suffolk, Bomb hits 5, on fire, heavy damage


Allied ground losses:
6 casualties reported

Port hits 17
Port fuel hits 2
Port supply hits 8

Aircraft Attacking:
11 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 11000 feet

another five hits on the heavy cruiser (one was a non penetrating belt hit) and guess what, the cruiser was reported sunk at the end of the turn. Didn´t exactly count the total non penetrating belt hits but all in all, the cruiser took five Type 91 torp hits and another three dozen 250kg bomb hits until it finally succumbed. No idea how much of the hits were either FOW of have been very unlucky die rolls, this goes especially for the torps.

I was in the process of flying in another 3 sentais of Helens to Madras to attack the cruiser, they already arrived at Rangoon. I will move out most of the bombers now again... every month that passes sees India becoming more and more safe as my forts are growing as well as my troop strenght. India is an important area for me as there are a lot of resources and also hundreds of HI. Without a major amphib operation Miller can´t do anything on the subcontinent and I´m not sure if such an operation is worth it as it would take a hell a lot of time and material. I guess the Indian front won´t be getting rolling within the next 6-12 months. By then (12 months) I expect the Russian campaign to be over and lots of divisions will garrison the coast from Hong Kong to Bombay. From the actual point of view it will get really hard for the Allied to get a foothold on the continent and to make progress there. IMO, the only real possibility for Miller is an island hopping campaign or the move up through New Guinea trying to get into the SRA.

This time Suffolk really is sunk...

we´re really making progress here. Not far from a 3:1 and acceptable losses within our attacking divisions. Another two deliberate attacks should do the trick, if we get some bad die rolls, then probably a third attack is needed.

My experience is, it shows the most important hit - or maybe the first.

Do you plan to post a map of Russia soon ?  You said at the start of the hostilities that Miller was moving his forces north from Vladivostock, where are they now ?  Will you be able to cut their retreat ?



there wer several loooong discussion on the forum and I usually got shouted down because I´ve always said that this "routine" is borked also because it doesn´t show the first weapon that hit and also not the most important. I´ve once "sunk" a CL with a 60kg GP bomb (at least that´s what the sunk ship list said). The 60kg GP bomb was one of the bombs that did hit the CL (scored by a Jake) but it was sunk by torpedos. Aerial dropped torpedos as the bomb didn´t even penetrate.

It´s only correct if there is just one weapon that hit the ship. As soon as there are several, it´s just a lucky moment of the game if it picks the right one. In any case it´s not the first one and not the most important one.

I will take a screenshot of the map if I don´t forget it as soon as I come home as I´m still in the office. Miller evacced Vladivostok (mistake IMO) and ran a good dozen troops North. Most of them are now defending Borzya (mistake IMO as this is a clear hex). 1000 av are sitting at Blagoveshchensk and another two dozen units spread out furhter South in two bases. IMO the best locations to defend are the river crossings and all those mountaineous hexes of which there are a lot of them. It´s more than hard to keep the road to Irkutsk open but it´s not that hard to defend the central parts as you can fall back to a lot of fortified positions and I don´t have to tell you anyway how hard it is to force 1500 av out of a mountain hex.

In any case, 80% (rough guess) of the Russian av is cut off from Irkutsk anyway, so yes, I was able to cut them off.

“CALEDON” Class cruiser ordered from Cammell Laird at Birkenhead on 8th December 1915 under an Emergency War Programme. She was laid down on 17th March 1916 and Yard No 828 and launched on 25th November 1916 as the 2nd RN warship to carry the name, first used in 1810 for the captured French HENRI. Build was completed on 7th March 1917 and during service in the Grand Fleet this cruiser was in action against German warships in Heligoland Bight. Before going into Reserve in 1931 she served in the Mediterranean. After being brought forward for the Royal Review of the Reserve Fleet she remained in commission throughout WW2.

Status: offline 		Also CL Richmond, US light cruiser, was sunk during the Allied landings at Port Moresby.

USS Richmond (CL-9), 1923-1947

USS Richmond, a 7050-ton Omaha class light cruiser, was built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Following commissioning in July 1923, her shakedown cruise took her to Europe, Africa and South America. At the end of 1923, the new ship joined the Atlantic-based Scouting Force. During the next three years, she participated in Fleet Problems and other exercises, rescued survivors of the wrecked gunboat Tacoma (January 1924), protected U.S. interests along the turbulent east coast of Mexico, supported a flight around the World by Army Air Corps aviators (mid-1924), and steamed across the Pacific during the U.S. Fleet's 1925 cruise to Australia and New Zealand. Richmond deployed to Asiatic waters for a year, beginning in early 1927, spending most of her time there in Chinese waters. She then served briefly on the Pacific Coast before returning to the Atlantic, where she was mainly employed well into the 1930s.

With brief exceptions to participate in exercises, Richmond operated in the Pacific from mid-1934 to the end of her service. She was flagship of the U.S. Fleet's Submarine Force during 1938-40 and carried the Commander of the Scouting Force in the first half of 1941, while based in Hawaii. Later in that year and during the first year of World War II, she patrolled along the Latin American west coast and escorted convoys in the southeastern Pacific.

Richmond went to the North Pacific in January 1943 and was soon heavily engaged in the then-active Aleutians campaign. She bombarded Japanese-held Attu in February, participated in the Battle of the Komandorski Islands on 26 March and took part in the recovery of Attu and Kiska in May and August 1943. Serving in the Aleutians area for the next two years, Richmond's activities included active patrolling and, beginning in February 1944, bombardments of the Kuril Islands. After the fighting ended in August 1945, she briefly supported the occupation of Northern Japan. In October, the old cruiser transited the Panama Canal, en route to Philadelphia, where she was decommissioned late in the year. USS Richmond was sold for scrapping late in 1946 or early in 1947

Great !  If they're mostly cut-off, is it too early to congratulate you for the conquest of Siberia ?

The Russian are in a very bad strategic situation at the moment, especially as the loss of Borzya is only days away. And this means that this will free up my Army in this region to roll on. There are several things I can think of what the Russian still could do (what I would do... ) but I´m not sure that Miller will come up with such plans I´m thinking of. I´m not doing my offensive in a total hurrey style, forgetting about securing my flanks but there are always possibilities if you have to fight 6000 enemy assault points in total.

You can congratulate me in probably 4-6 months I guess. But then the time for congratulations will be pretty much over anyway. Corsairs and Liberators will kill my aircraft in the hundreds every week and we will have to rely on morale boosts when a sub or a Betty sinks an AK now and then...

We spot some 50-75 Corsairs/P-47 on Cap over PM daily, recon reports hundreds of aircraft there though. Means Miller relies on the magic Allied ability to also get fighters airborne for Cap duty when the pilots are out at the beach taking a bath. I guess he has set them not over 50% Cap (if it even is that high) and escort to see his Barracudas being escorted by a nice number of deadly fighters. The Barracudas seem to be set to 5 hexes (torp and Corsair range) as we had ships in six hexes range several times but they never have been striked.

Miller asked me what I am up to as he thinks the KB is on station at Rabaul and he told me that only god knows what plan I have again. This was the time when the spotted Cap over PM was considerable reduced, probably as preparation to fly against an expected counteroffensive with my Navy against PM...

the two Mongolian Cav Divs take the base, which wasn´t that surprising after yesterday´s 2:1 already. And that´s why I´m quite amazed that Miller didn´t move out his aircraft. Nice number of aircraft destroyed on the ground... the very short ranged Shturmoviks are not that useful but surely too valuable as to be destroyed on the ground...

Status: offline 		Here´s the requested screenshot of the situation in Russia. Only showing the central part of the Russian held territory as the North is reduced to Irkutsk and Ulan Ude (and two empty bases to the far North East). Miller has three "big" troop stacks at those bases on the railline, probably to build up the forts as otherwise it wouldn´t make sense not having all his units directly at frontline bases. We are only holding position in the Vladivostok area, trying to kill off a region fortress NE of it though. The troops that took Rukhlovo and Pokrovka arrived at Blagoveshchensk to block any attempts to move Russian units North. It´s a clear hex, if the enemy has more troops than expected that he could move in I will take my units back two hexes on the railline as this is a wooden hex and my 2000 av won´t be driven out of that one. While I doubt that he can drive me out of a clear hex, he would surely inflict much more losses on my troops in the clear hex than in the wooden hex.

The assault on Borzya is in it´s final stage already, the Russian there won´t resist much longer. This then frees up my troops to move North to assault Irkutsk. Guess two or three divs will stay in the area of Blagoveshchensk or Tsitsihar to act as a resere. I will use the units that were shot up the most at Borzya, that way I will have a reserve and the units can recover. There´s always the possibility of the Russian go mad and do a "strategic Banzai charge" into Manchuko. Therefor I still have division sized units at bases that are just behind the border and are sitting behind level 9 forts. Those bases can withstand every possible Russian attempt to break through long enough to see more units being moved in within days on the railline.

All in all is the Russain campaign really going well, but it isn´t won yet. I have moved a lot of fighter sentais out again to do training runs in the Philipines as the losses they took were replaced by 30 experienced pilots. And when 80+ experienced pilots lose 40:0 against Corsair and Thunderbolt then you can imagine what would happen if I would use 30 exp pilots.

He tried to run for Irkutsk as one suggested to him and wasn't able to consider that the two weeks you give him are by far not enough. It was obvious that you'll try to cut the railroad north of Borzya but still, he hoped that you won't do it and gave up all good positions while trying to reach Irkutsk...

Isn't it way too easy for you to play him?

next deliberate attack and again we miss a 3:1, but we´re close. Russian max defense doesn´t look that good, nevertheless the adjusted av wasn´t bad either... I´m confident, in two attacks the Russian will be finished... Miller will lose 15 units at Borzya which probably means something like 20-25% of his total assault value available. Like in most of my operations against him, I was able to focus my strenght while Miller kept his units more or less dispersed. I don´t think it would have been possible to stop my Army in the North at the border but there are a couple of hexes where 3000 Russian av could have blocked me easily. To defend one hex North of Borzya was a mistake IMO. Not keeping the retreat path East of Borzya open was definetely the mistake that will result in the destruction of all those valuable inf units here. One or two Russian divs would have been enough to keep the retreat path open. As mentioned before, it seems Miller has moved out troops from Borzya via air transport, I have no idea how many in total but I guess fragments of each unit, so we will have to take out Irkutsk before those troops really begin to grow again...

Isn't it way too easy for you to play him?



Like I´ve mentioned in the discussion that arose in this AAR about the Russian possibilities, I never intended to do the "Northern strategy" but have massed my troops in the Vladivostok and Uglahamensk area, the North only had enough troops to hold position easily and to take weakly defended targets. The reason for that was that I absolutely see no sense at all for the Allied to do the "run away with everthing". The two weeks time he had after activating the Russian would have been enough to see a 70% chance to at least achieve what he had planned, but he would have needed to play it out differently. And recon showed that there were troops marching towards Irkutsk, no idea how many there really are now, I would expect something like 2000 assault points.

Blocking my units further North East of Borzya, keeping strong units East of it would have done the trick. I could not move further North as I would then be cut off. I could hardly move further East as then the troops from the North would have the chance to cut me off. It´s a gamble for the Russian as I have the edge in total assault strenght but he can also mass a lot of troops in no time nearly every where as the railline makes moving pretty fast. Holding position somewhere with 1000 av in a wooden hex or even mountaineous hex can block quite a lot of my troops for quite some time, this means he could move an Army of 3000 av to counterattack me somewhere else. Imagine what would have happened if he can break through somewhere! Would mean my offensive would collapse immedietely. I´ve got more experience as the Japanese but played the Allied often enough to know what I´m speaking about (though always only on the stock map as I was just too lazy to accomodate me with AB´s wonderful and far better map). Twice did I face a Japanese attempt of taking out Russia, once I stopped the Japanese cold, resulting in a stalemate. Once I drove into Manchuria as the Japanese advanced with most of his troops in one direction, enabling me to stop him in the mountains and flank him on the railline = game over.

I don´t think Miller is a bad Allied player nor do I think I´m a real good Japanese player, he surely lacks the experience in the special WITP ground war. Though I´ve thought that the war in China, India and Australia would have helped him to put up a stiff defense of Russia. Doesn´t look so at the moment, but again, I think running for Irkutsk is definitely the wrong Allied strategy anyway, no matter if it turns out to be a succesful run or not. All I´ve did so far in this PBEM is to try to mass my forces, no matter if land, naval or air. And that´s what I´ve been doing in every of my PBEMs. Easier to do for the Allied as they get so much stuff, often a gamble for the Japanese. But if you mass your troops and the enemy doesn´t do the same thing or doesn´t secure the flanks in his strategy then it soon looks like as I´ve you were outplayed.
