Status: offline 		This is the Japanese Side of the AAR in our 2v2 game.
Offenseman (Mike) and Seydlitz (Don) agreed to take on LoBaron (Lenny) and Rob Brennan (Rob) in a scenario 1 matchup.

We did have a two turn false start that was quite humbling while it lasted. All parties agreed to a restart because some of the game settings were not correct and one involving replacements was significant.

As such, we went into the restart knowing that we had to alter our plans since we had shown our hand in the original start.

Our choice this time was what we had almost done the first time....we went for Manila.

We placed the KB in the Sulu Sea and hoped that we could mop up during the first two day turn.

I will let Mike tell most of the story since the KB is under his control, but his flyboys did an excellent job.

Boise went down on turn 1 with 3 torpedo hits.

Status: offline 		Rumor has it that we also sunk at least 15 subs at Manila. We must have done ok, because here are the comments from Rob and Lenny:

From Rob:

Holy C$%P ..

Thats a 1st for me and PBEMS , Manilla and 15 subs sunk outright .. (according to the combat replay .. can't see the turn for obvious reasons so not giving much away) . Marbelhead and Boise sunk .. yikes .. and what are you feeding your destroyer crews on ? popeye spinach and asterix's super-strength druid potion ? :) .

Actually i think its a good move . those S boats would cause you more harm than a bunch of obsolete BB's miles from anywhere. Frankly I'm amazed the houston didnt get it as well (she's my ship despite being yankee .. and knowing where i sent her i'm in disbelief )

so will the KB continue to rampage the DEI ? go on tell me i wont take advantage of it :) .. honest guv'nor.

Well hats off gentlemen , that has really screwed up my/our initial plans for the forseeable future, congrats on wrecking my somewhat hopeful belief in defending the DEI :) ..

Now where is the british senior naval submarine commader and his dutch liason officer ? General Melchett will be wanting a chat with them on the 15th when he finally figures out that there is a war on.


And Lenny:

I can only second Rob´s sentiment! Marblehead was the victim of my persistence to pull the same stunt twice. ;)
Great move guys, lets see if it also pays off on the long run.

15 subs down, ugh, one of my favourite weapons is reduced to shambles before I can even deploy.
There goes our DEI strategy. Rob, plan B was to chicken out right? =D

Salute!

Lenny


In case I didn't mention it earlier, in the original start we went for Pearl Harbor and had a very weak result while American subs poured from Manila and had a field day.

Hopefully Rob and Lenny will get their side of the AAR cranked up and rolling.

Status: offline 		Also, and this is classified as we want them to figure it out,

I am playing the role of the Imperial Army and Air Force. I also have control of the merchant marine, escort forces, raiders including the old light cruisers, and the sub fleet. Mike is in control of the Japanese Navy and Naval Air Force.

To further complicate this, we have theater controls:
1. I am doing China, Burma, Korea, and the Home Islands
2. Mike has Malaya, the DEI, the Philippines, and the rest of the Pacific.
In those theaters, he controls the ships and troops embarked on operations. I ALWAYS control the army air.

We are mutually controlling the industry and production.

Our play styles are somewhat different, and I am certain that (at least because I am going to make sure to play up the historical rivalry) you will be able to see a lot of the Army-Navy game peaking through. I want to keep the historical friction between the services going while prosecuting the war.

Here is a perfect example of what I am talking about:

During the initial plots, I pulled my 80+ Nates off of Singora because there was no AV support. I moved them over to Cambodia to fly CAP not wanting to risk something happening where the navy failed to land the support unit on turn 1. Mike moved his Yamada Datai of zeroes oer in their place. Just enough AV support landed to handle the Yamada. I would have been partially grounded had I stayed. My Nates flew top cover using drop tanks.

On our turn 2 plots, he told me that his navy pilots were tired and that I needed to fly some units over to provide top cover at the beach head.
Well, the real problem is that his victorious pilots were hung over from celebrating their 32 victories on turn 1 and had hangovers. I checked my glorious Army aviators and saw that all of the units were sitting at 65 to 68 fatigue from flying LRCAP over the transports. Not wanting to lose good pilots to exhaustion during the first week of the war, I stood down the units and informed the navy that we would not be able to fly LRCAP over the beach head during turn 2.

Here was my note:

You will get no LRCAP from the army over your ships unloading in Malaya this turn. The Army reports that the pilots are too tired to fly any missions the next two days. All of my units, including the Oscars, are at 64+ fatigue. I am resting them this turn and they will be available next turn. I am moving a base unit from Phenom Penh over to Singora via a fast single ship TF so that we will have a base unit to support the move next turn.

Your zero unit is only at 26 fatigue so if you fly them without drop tanks you should be ok.

Don


He replied:

Don-san
Already the Army is letting down the glorious Naval forces! May your sake' always be served too cold! ;) The Commonwealth air forces in the area might be too demoralized to fly much anyway. Some of those units were chopped up real well.

Perhaps this will cause Yamada to down another 20 or so. I converted the Yamada det to Zeros and those 9 should be ready for the next turn.

MIke


So, this should be fun. Hang around and enjoy a good read.

Now some propanda....

Status: offline 		Yamada deserved a day off!   What will a 32:1 claimed kill ratio in two days do for you?  Most of the 18 pilots went up in experience, half had 2 or more kills, almost everyone got a kill.  The current turn is in Allied hands and when we get it back, I am sure that the valiant and skilled Naval Air Arm will again shame the Army pilots (term used loosely), shooting down all the aircraft, stealing all the girls and drinking all the Kirin.

seydlitz summed up the Sulu Sea action well.  The odd thing for me in that exchange was that not one torpedo hit a target.  The two IJ DDs expended their entire stock and Marblehead's group launched many as well.  Inazuma is retiring to repair some minor damage and should return to action within 9 days or so.  The other DD is sailing to join KB and assist in keeping the remaining subs in the theatre at bay.

Elsewhere in the main area of operations, troops were landed at Cagayan to disrupt Allied B17 operations as well as Puerto Princesa.  Both should fall during the upcoming turn.  It is hoped the loss of Cagayan and the pounding being given to Manila and Clark should help to keep the heavies hamstrung for awhile.  An AV is ready to take up station at Puerto Princesa when it falls and a unit of float planes will be stationed there to keep an eye on survivors of Manila as they try to escape.

I think that Lenny may hold off evacuating until he thinks the KB is gone. By that time I will have some of the old CLs on station off Busanga and I have already moved some subs to block the most likely paths.

May the landings on Luzon be swift and decisive. It is important that we liberate our oppressed Philippine brothers from the clutches of the Yankee Imperialist Supressors as soon as possible. I am certain that they will enjoy a better life as part of our Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

And now, more propaganda....

Status: offline 		The Luzon landings are underway with Appari already under the Emperor's most magnificent rule.  Laong is also under seige and expected to fall shortly.  Another invasion force is heading toward its target with landfall expected any day.  Cagayan has also been captured, thus denying the Imperialists an excellent air base and providing an anchor for our forces on the north side of Mindanao. 

A force has landed at oil rich Miri under escort of a SCTF composed of several BBs.  The expected liberation will be celebrated in the coming days. 

On other fronts, Operation Octopussy is being organized and will unveil itself soon.

As mentioned by my esteemed colleague, the 1st Special Naval Landing Force, with assistance from the Imperial Army, consolidated their beachead at Aparri this turn. The local airfield was captured intact and the Army is flying in two fighter units to provide local CAP over the area while further troops and supplies are landed.

Status: offline 		Our Philippine allies who were doing their duty in spotting Imperialist Yankee ship movements in an out of Cavite Navy Yard reported that the American Submarine Porpoise, SSN-172, struck a mine and sank near Fort Drum (the concrete battleship). While it is possible that she hit an American mine, we believe that she actually struck one of the 20+ mines laid in that area by one of our subs on December 8th. She can join the 15 other subs that are on the bottom in Manila Bay.

Near Bangka, I-156 caught the Dutch tanker Iris trying to flee the ever advancing Japanese forces. In a night surface engagement, she hit the vessel with two torpedoes and several shells, sinking her in a glorious 45 minute action.

Status: offline 		Not far away, near Billiton, the I-165 spotted a Dutch sub in the moon streak charging batteries. She fired two torpedoes, one of which hit the sub, identified as the KXVII. Based on the explosion and the size of the target, there is no way that the Dutch sub could have survived the hit.

Status: offline 		At Cam Ranh Bay, the Dutch submarine KXIII struck a type 4 mine while attempting to penetrate the anchorage at night. Filling rapidly with water, the crew managed to beach the foundering vessel in an area of shallow water. This is the view of the vessel the next afternoon at low tide.

While the crew did manage to destroy some of the equipment, we were able to capture several items that will be valuable to our intelligence services. Most of the crew have already been rounded up and will be sent to a prisoner of war camp that is being constructed in Dalat.

She put two torpedoes into the transport Manzyu Maru, which sank in shallow water four hours later. Luckily the ship settled slowly and only 36 men were wounded during the attack and abandonment.

Also shown are the Army Aerial ASW patrols that are being conducted to minimize the submarine threat. Even if the aviators are not successful in sinking the subs, merely spotting them allows us to route all shipping clear of their location.

Again the Army Air Forces have been successful in spotting these pirates and we are preparing a warm reception for them should they turn up off the coast of the home islands.

I love the hot sub on sub action so far. I've never seen that in any of my own smaller games up to this point. It was beautiful!

(Felt a pang of sadness about the Marblehead... she was a valiant girl with nice lines... she deserved better than she got.)

Status: offline 		lb4269- Welcome aboard. I hope we are able to entertain and inform you enough to be a long term reader.  The game itself should be excellent as our opponents are creative and knowledgeable. 

In other news, Miri and Laong were subdued and occupied, Legaspi was invaded and will be taken next turn.

The Allied forces have assembled what appears to be a dozen or more single ship TFs with the intent of sneaking them to safety. In addition there are several multiple ship groups in the Legaspi area. A small SCTF led by two CAs and Mini-KB have been sent to deal with them.  An aggressive net of air search/attack groups and small SCTFs are trying to round them up and sink them.  Their surviving subs from Manila are having to elude a complex network of air searches orchestrated by seydlitz. 

Operation Octopussy continues to come together....  more on that in a few days.

Status: offline 		Yes, our aircraft may not be killing many subs --yet-- but they are spotting them and even getting in some attacks. Here are the sub spootings and attacks from the turn's ops report.

I noticed that it spots way more targets on day 1 of the 2 day turn.

At any rate, on Dec 11th the Army, which is flying the bulk of the ASW patrols, had 134 sub spottings resulting in 4 attacks and 3 reported hits.
The Navy aircraft had 18 additional spottings which did not result in any attacks.

On the 12th, The Army had 47 spottings resulting in 1 attack and 1 reported hit.
The Navy had 5 spottings with no attacks.

Keep in mind that if you set up a good density of aircraft patrolling the area, multiple aircraft will spot the same sub, nicreasing the detection level on that sub. Also, successful spottings help to raise the ASW skill level of the spotting aircraft.
I like to achieve good density by trying to stay all green in my search patterns. Green is searched in the AM and blue in the PM air phase. It only goes to blue if it can not cover the assigned area with green. Being green with excess planes flying puts multiple planes in the search area, further increassing chances. I do all of these plus will often have multiple units searching overlapping areas.

At the end of the day I want it to be hard for him to move his subs without being detected.
