Hi Traskott !

Of course... It´s an epic adventure (like Don Quixote ). These ships (AMC and Argentina Maru) were valuable by spendable.. I have in my hands Singkawang, Pontianak and Kuching.. In two days, Kuching AF will be ready with 22nd Air Flotilla HQ to start a terror campaign against dutch objetives at Sumatra and Java.
My first target is blast Singapore AF to get absolute air supperiority in this area and avoid air attacks like we mentioned against AMC and Argentina Maru.
1st Mobile Force, Ambon STriking Force and Kido Butai ready to start the EASTERN DUTCH INDIES CAMPAIGN.
Long Live to the Emperor !

About Darwin, we are both restricted by H.Rules.. I must to complete DEI ops and save a high ammount of political points. It´s out of my target, but Darwin and north Australian coast will be blocked by sea and air... All will come back to stone age in two months, when Koepang will fall in my hands, my aircrafts will smashed all air or port facilities in the north coast. CMs and SS will mine their waters, and my surface forces will support with a blockade force.
Horn Island is in my hunger hands, and only way to supply Darwin is by air or by sea taking the western way... This will not be an option for Jonathan, I will avoid that :)

Best Regards
Ramón

Hello Seydlitz,
I am honored that you would take borrowed my own humble H.R. I would like to know more about these couple of additional rules that you have added to your own play, and of course, could be very interesenting to know if you will work in an AAR !... I would like to follow closely. I am very sure that many H.R. are absolutely neccesary for an realistic and historical environment. More than a play, WITP AE would be a simulation, and for it, these H.R. would be neccesary because engine would not be enough for politicals or others circumstances in early 40s in the Pacific theatre.

Thanks a lot for your comment, you are wellcomed
Best of wishes, and best of lucks in your future game.
Ramón

since you asked, here are the additional home rules that we added to our game:


-The AVG can not be transferred out of China or Burma. In other words no transfer to Singapore or the DEI for use there.
2.-Philippine based air units may not receive replacement aircraft other than by disbanding other Philippine based air units into those units.
3.-Philippine based air units may not be disbanded or withdrawn in a manner that would result in the transfer of aircraft or the pilots back into the aircraft or pilot pools. If the unit is withdrawn, the allied player must answer “no” to the reform unit in x days question.
4.-Manila is an open city. During the initial Japanese conquest, MacArthur declared Manila to be an open city. As such, the allies may not build additional fortifications there and must retreat from the hex rather than fighting battles for it when the Japanese reach the city. The Japanese player may not use this to his advantage by trying gamey tactics (like paradrop, etc) to take the city early. He can only take the city as part of a general advance from the north, south, or east. After Japan has conquered all of Luzon, all bets are off and Manila is no longer an open city.
5.-The U.S. only may run sub transport missions into Bataan only carrying supplies and evacuating units only after allied forces have retreated into Bataan or to resupply/evacuate other isolated or cut off units. There is no restriction on using surface or air transport at any time to move supplies or troops in our out.

modified rules:
2. - The territory of Thailand shall not be violated in any way by the U.S. ground forces. U.S. air and naval forces are free to operate over Thailand without restriction. British are exempt from this rule.
(The U.S. did bomb Thailand. One of the first B-29 missions was against Bangkok.)

The submarines allowed to carry marine raiders should also include Nautilus and Seawolf.

Thank very much, Seydlitz. Greats!!

I will must check about AVG, because I could be sure that one Sqdrn from American Volunteer Group fought at Singapore, but after read your post I will must check for a second time, I will post about when I´ll get references :)
Under your permission I will borrow your added H.R. to add in my own "AE Historical Game Project" (I should discuss them with Jonathan -Cantona2-, but I am pretty sure that he will not have any problem with that.)
Thanks a lot for posting and add all these H.R., are very interesting (you are right about XX B.C. mission, I got reports about Mission number 18 with 55 planes at nov.1944 with 1 plane lost from 40th Bomber Group).

Best of wishes

The AVG deployed a squadron to defend Rangoon. That was where they fought alongside the Brits until that city fell. They never went to Singapore.

I must now find a new opponent as my opponent emailed back after I did my turn 2 plots to say that he can not continue. I hate it when an opponenet asks for a game and then quits after you put the time into it. This opponent had two previous quits that he said was due to health at the time so that may be the same issue this time.

I am certain that I will find another. In the meantime I will enjoy your excellent AAR.

Thanks a lot for your comment !... I wish you the best of luck to get a realiable opponent to play your game. This is a monster game that needs compromise for a long time for both players. Could be good idea to get references in the matrix about any player that will to play with you (i.e. looking for post and AARs from his previous games).

I´ll be honored with your visits and comments.

I knew about AVG Sqdrn fighting over Rangoon skies, and certainly I can not get any report about Singapore, I remember to read about but could be that I confuse Rangoon with Singapore (both under British rule). However I told with Cantona2 (Jonathan) yesterday and both are agree to add all these new H.R. that you have comment us.

Have a nice day,
Best of wishes
Ramón
