Status: offline 		Great to see the variant system in an AAR. Thanks for doing this. If I could make a suggestion, please put a turn date on your posts.

Good choices on the variants. Against the AI I usually boost production of F4F-4s, P-39s, SBDs, PBYs and photo recon (never seem to have enough of those) and fill the P-47 gap. Accelerating the P-47 and F6F should be very helpful, not to mention the CVs and extra divisions.

Did your opponent tell you his choices on the variants?

Good luck!

Cheers,
CB

CL Java should be OK, she is returning to Soerabaja for repairs.


He took Tarawa today.

He also took San Fernando today.

China might be a problem, more discussion later.

An xAK took a torp just off San Diego, probably will not make it to SD.

Nauru Island fell

Lost a base in China, I do not like all the new dot bases Andy Mac has put
into this updated scenario. I will have to take a screenshot or two for show
and tell.

Here is a picture of the Sian area in Andy Macs updated scenario 2

Notice the number of dot bases East and Southeast of Sian. I have to
maintain a garrison in each to prevent a paratroop landing.

I just lost the base with the crossed sabers. I really do not know if
I can hold him off. I have a few options.
1. Just don't worry about it and eventually lose China.
2. Evacuate many/most/all Chinese units to Burma/India.
3. Some combination of 1 and 2.

xargun is being quite methodical in his expansion. Unfortunately that means very well done also. I am being crushed slowly.

Not a good turn for the Allies.

First my raiding SCTF ran into a meat grinder:

Day Time Surface Combat, near Tawi Tawi at 72,88, Range 21,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
BB Kongo
BB Haruna, Shell hits 2
CA Chokai, Shell hits 1
DD Fubuki
DD Usugumo
DD Isonami
DD Shirayuki
DD Hatsuyuki

Allied Ships
CL Tromp, Shell hits 1, on fire
DD Evertsen, Shell hits 10, and is sunk

Then CL Java ran into a sub

Sub attack near Soerabaja at 56,103

Japanese Ships
SS I-124

Allied Ships
CL Java, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage She sank
DD Van Ghent

And then Mini-KB showed up

Morning Air attack on TF, near Jolo at 74,90

Weather in hex: Clear sky

Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 8 minutes

Japanese aircraft
B5N1 Kate x 17
B5N2 Kate x 3

No Japanese losses

Allied Ships
CL Tromp, Bomb hits 5, heavy fires, heavy damage

Force "Z" was attacked by planes from Mini-KB, she is 7 hexes East of Balkipapan.
My real problem is that I have no idea where KB is at.

I got a small amount of retribution:

Sub attack near Hengchun at 82,68

Japanese Ships
xAP Terukuni Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage

Allied Ships
SS S-40
and
Sub attack near Laoag at 81,69

Japanese Ships
xAP Terukuni Maru, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage
DD Hatakaze

Allied Ships
SS S-38

Ah, I didn't pick up on that. Thanks.

Good move on keeping each other's changes secret. That'll make it interesting.

I hope to see you continue this. I think most AAR writers use Word docs, then paste, as RangerJoe noted.

I have not been able to do much about the sub South of San Diego.
I can not seen to locate it, but I am sure it is still there. I have search
and ASW air and ASW naval TFs prowling the area. But as usual this
early in the game, my ASW efforts are not all that effective.

Not much else happening

Or is this an incomplete report, the crews flying the search aircraft are not
highly trained.

The mouse over shows about 1/2 of what I would expect KB to be.

Big oops

Tried for a mid ocean intercept, missed but found CVs
Or should I say they found me?

Morning Air attack on TF, near Jolo at 73,94

Weather in hex: Severe storms

Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 17,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 30 minutes

============================
Morning Air attack on TF, near Jolo at 73,94

Nothing sank yet, but the 2 CLs most likely will.

There was some good news, this is the only sub I have detected around San Diego.
This single hit should mission kill the sub. Probably will not sink it.

Not much happened today.

I-2 did show up on my sunk ship list, I find it
a bit hard to accept that one DC would sink her.
Time will tell

Neither CL sunk from yesterdays screwup. KB seems to
have moved North and out of range. All of the DDs made
it to Balikapapan.

Another bad day for the Allies.

A raiding SCTF did not do well. They were surprised and
both ships took torpedeos in the first round.

Allied aircraft losses
Walrus II: 2 destroyed

DD Nowaki
DD Arashi
DD Hagikaze
DD Asashio
DD Oshio

Allied Ships
CA Exeter, Torpedo hits 3, and is sunk
CL Glasgow, Shell hits 10, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk

and then KB found my to damaged CLs from two turns ago

Morning Air attack on TF, near Donggala at 70,96

Weather in hex: Severe storms

Raid detected at 67 NM, estimated altitude 18,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 25 minutes

Japanese aircraft

D3A1 Val x 21

Japanese aircraft losses
D3A1 Val: 3 damaged

Allied Ships
CL De Ruyter, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage

Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb
8 x D3A1 Val releasing from 2000'
Naval Attack: 1 x 250 kg SAP Bomb

CL De Ryter sank and CL Mauritius is in really bad shape.

I did find another sub South of San Diego

I-1 is there. I did a solid hit on her, will wait and see what happens.

Tawi Tawi and Jolo were captured by Japan today.


Another note, on Jan 1, 1942 my extra 25 per month of 40mm Bofors kicked in. Filling out those CW flak weapon slots.

I see too many regiments and not enough divisions.

He did not reduce forts either. 300 squads destroyed and 1437 disabled will take a good while and a good amount of supply to replace.

I had spent the PPs to replace a number of commanders at Singapore. It seems to have helped.
The 11th Indian Division gained 11 experience points. The 9th Indian Division gained 13 experience points. The SSVF Brigade gained 12 experience points. This will definitely make it harder for him to take Singapore. Even the III Indian HQ and the Malaya Army HQ gained 3 and 4 points.

Even with 25 pounders in some of your units you will be outgunned and he can pound you while his devices recover. Is your fort level near reaching level 5?

He took Djambi today. Initial mouse over shows no damage to the oil.
