Status: offline 		It may be too late, but what about your PBY placements?? As soon as their Morale gets to 99, those that can be moved away from the USA (including Eastern USA) head for the Pacific - Seattle, Dutch Harbor, Midway, Pearl, and then beyond.

I go with having them at Midway, Pearl, Johnson, Canton (now that she's gone), Palmyra or Christmas, Pago Pago, Noumea, and Brisbane. Patrol at 50%, Training at 20 or 30%, and Rest at 20 or 30%.

In USA, your small HQ bomber groups (5 planes or less) that are restricted and withdraw in mid-42, I rest until Morale is 99, then 100% training on ASW at 1000' and eventually to do some training at LowN. You may need to set some now like the PBYs so you can find his subs. Your ships will be harder to hit if your DL is higher on his subs.

I'm training them up near Seattle, I moved two groups to Midway from P.H. (used them to evacuate 1st Marine Def Bn & WakeCNPAC), one of the groups to Palmyra, two others need filling out (50-60% currently) at Pearl Harbor. Plans to set up Johnston Is as a seaplane/S boat sub base is in the works.

Thats pretty much what I do... 50%Search, 30% Training, 20% Rest The other option is if they are a single outpost I will go 40% ASW/40% Search/20% Rest. Beats them up but they get experience quick!

Good points - So far I'm trying to get the bombers into some type of organized training and flow out to the Pacific... My trick is I take one of the BG's (even if I have to buy them out) and put the B-25B's in them. Then I enroute them to Aden or Cape Town for deployment to CAF. The B-25's escorted by AVG are a wicked good force for stemming the Japanese hordes advance in early '42... The downside is I'm forced to play monkey balls switching the restricted group's b-25's out for B-18/B-10 BG's for the first couple weeks. Also since the CAF is Larry's playground I don't know how/what he has in mind for them... but anything is better than just losing them doing nothing.

West Coast PBY's & Floats are set to 80%ASW/20% Rest right now and my B-17's are 50% Nav Search/30% Training/20% Training to spot the subs.

Agree /Disagree?

Status: offline 		I just posted a question to Larry about our Pearl Harbor based damaged BB's... Here's the list and you will see that 4 of them are mildly damaged.

I was going to ship them to the West Coast when a divine inspiration struck, Why not make a SCTF and put them to use? I have Lex and Saratoga formed into a CVTF, just load them up with fighters and CAP/LRCAP the SCTF at a range of 4 trailing hexes and aim the SCTF at his CVTF returning home since the Kaga got damaged by the DM?

Its way over the top and foolhardy, but also a golden chance to slow down the juggernaut. I figure the slow BB's have value later but not as much as a solid chance to sink a couple carriers (He has 2CV and 2 CVL/E's in the TF) this early in the game...

Later on those BB will be worth their weight in gold to help with land battles.

The voice of reason and sanity... Larry just told me you posted on here, anyway I figured out after I posted of course that two of the BB's are in the shipyard so it would take 3 days for them to be ready and the window would probably be closed by then anyway

Whats the saying? Late night brilliance that can't stand the scrutiny of the following light of day...

other things. I'm wondering if I should move ALL the planes to Singapore for self protection.

Have you a plan for defending India or Oz in place? because he's going to go for one of them, and India in particular is very weak at the start.

Pago Pago is just too close to Canton Island and John can sortie DD's to hit my port etc.

I was sorta planning on defending both of them. I've already started moving the LCU's in the interior of Oz to the port cities. And
India.......well, I guess I was hoping the British in India could somehow handle the Japs. British and Indians together.

with the ship and docked it so the fire would go out faster. I'm hoping to xfer it to Darwin to be fixed properly.

Oz might be alright without reinforcement (much more and better morale/experience units) but India certainly won't be!

It might behove me to look around for some reinforcements for India. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, let's disband it in port and see how fast the fire goes out. Experiment, scientifically.

RA keeps the IJA the same as stock scenario 1. Only the IJN is changed.

If you set your FP at 1000' for Naval Attack, they will use their LowN skill vs NavB skills.

Cape Town - I would send two American divisions here via Eastern USA by Strat Mode. You don't have to spend PP point until you need to move them out of CT. Thus, they can go to either India or Australia.

Device/Squads - Like others have stated, you will need to use the "Stockpile" option to "Y" for certain things. See screenshot for what i have now. I messed up and had had the Lewis MG as "N" and a divided Indian division had the "B" upgrade from Vicker MG to Lewis. Other players can give you other devices/squads that you may want to do.

Here's the list and you will see that 4 of them are mildly damaged.


Yes, but half of them are Nevada and Oklahoma, which are inferior even for the WWI-type battlewagons.

happened to the Allies. They just happened to have some ships at the right place to defend Oosthaven and defend they did.

Thats the kind of result that keeps the Allies going at the start

Status: offline 		Excellent Job! just watched the #01 file John sent and it shows you also had a battle with a Jap SCTF (1-CA 4-DD) and put a good hurtin on the CA before your slaughtering the transports...

One bit of advice - RUN Forrest RUN!!! - John has a CVE TF coming southward and a SCTF with 2BB's just outside of Oosthaven - its time to skedaddle back to Colombo and save those ships! The Brits don't get many replacements and those are few and far between... Also you should probably consider Singapore lost and save the DD's sitting there - they are just going to be bomber fodder and lost soon too.

I'll start working on the AAR soon and have it updated by tonight...

Again Larry, great Job!

He's probably (and very sensibly!) pulled all his supply into Manila or Bataan (depending on where he's making his stand).



Exactly what I did! The gumby part is John hit so fast that several outposts still had small amounts of supply left. Manila is the bastion I created - but it never lasts too long, John has brought sufficient forces to grind me to dust quickly,
