Status: offline 		Gasmata has fallen and the base opposite on the other coast has as well, Kid is now basing fighters there to interdict my remaining airforce.....

I have managed to sneak a convoy thru to Rabual with a regiment from the 36th division to bolster the defences which helps his airforce is everywhere ....... my barges are being sunk left right and centre but a few are getting thru to Rabual with supplies

Everything my airforce can get to fly is even old float planes are being used against the allied fleet

Kid finally committed his ground troops against Rabual after a carefully orchestrated sea and air bombardment unfortunately they were repulsed with ease this may make him rethink his plans to take Rabual

Not long to go under a month

Nice move on Hoskins by the way. I thought those were troops that had retreated into the hex so I was not worried about them. I now have Gasmata full up so you should see more planes in your area.

After 4 days of thunderstorms the day dawned clear and all eyes were cast skywards knowing that the Allied airforce would be out in strength....Today Rabual was not the target but the airfields of Kavieg were destined to be wiped from the map.....

Kid maintained his air attack on Kavieg and after 4 days of aerial bombardment the airfields there are obliterated....meaning his convoys can sail to Rabual now virtually untouched.........

There is no way to stop 150 heavy bomber raids on my airfields oh for some FW 190s or Me 262s

Crocky, to what do you attribute these losses? Numbers on each side don't seem too horribly out of whack so do you think it is lack of pilot training? Aircraft quality? Superior Allied fighter direction (radar)? What?

Just curious. I've not reached such a late date in a game of UV yet.

There comes a point though where the endless supply of fighters & bombers the allies can throw at Japan eventually overwhelms even the most elite squadrons. And I find the army fighter groups (the KI-48's & 61's) to be almost useless against Hellcats & Corsairs in a even fight.

I'll be very interested to see if Kid can grab Rabaul in the next ten days. Very interested indeed..........

Not to answer for Crocky, but if your talking about the recent battles most were lost on the ground. See the graphic I posted. If your talking about the entire campagin well thats a diffrent story.

Status: offline 		Well the last 6 months have been hell on the Japanese airforce my bases have been overrun forceing me back to Rabual and Kavieg as my major airfields which in turn brings all kids fighters closer and his combined raid are impossible to stop

If you look back thru the last few AARs you will see what I mean 2 major raids per day 1 from Gasmata now it has fallen comprising mainly about 80-100 B25s + 100 fighters
and the other from more distant bases of 150+ 4 enginned bombers plus escorts..the first couple of raids knock out the airfield grounding all planes apart from a few fighters and the follow up raids do huge amounts of damage to your aircraft on the ground.....

When Kid turned his attention to Kavieg 6 days ago the writing was on the wall now if I recall (Im at work so I m doing this from memory) Kavieg has.....
Port damage..........................60
airfield service damage?........82
Runway damage...................100

As the Japanese my numbers of pilots are lacking there are squadron in Truk with 25 aircraft and only 10 pilots there....Training level is between 40 & 45 and their aircraft are outclassed......The light weaponary is the problem they just cant do enough damage to heavy bombers .....

Having said that I have made some serious errors tactically that have cost me which I will clarify later on.......

Oh by the way Rabual in terms of game points is now 2700 (100) for both sides

Status: offline 		About 3 weeks ago (game time) I had taken Gasmata just for the victory points. To my surprise it turned out to be a major airfield and an excellent place to launch air attacks. When I saw Crocky landing troops one hex north of Gasmata, I diverted 3/4 of a division to protect it, which they did. But now I am wondering if that was a mistake. Those fresh troops might have swung the balance at Rabaul. We only have a few turns left in the game and that is not enough time to load them up and move them..
