My opponent and I have been playing UV since March and recently started a WiTP game. Once again my capable opponent takes up the Japanese armed forces while I will control the Allies. What follows is an account of Scen. 15 The Total War. Just a little about me. I’ve played UV on and off since it came off. Engaged in several play by email games and just purchased WiTP. I’m playing a Allies vs. Japanese AI game as well but this will be my first and probably only PBEM WiTP game for a while. Much like the Allies in WW2 I will be learning the details of the war as I go. So hopefully, in a Year or three, I will see you in Japan, accepting the Japanese surrender. Until then… December 7th, 1941…. A date that will, yet again, live in infamy. Pearl Harbor… Air Raid! Surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. No, really, I saw it coming. Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 76 D3A Val x 126 B5N Kate x 143 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 1 P-26A x 8 P-36A Mohawk x 4 P-40B Tomahawk x 17 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 19 destroyed, 5 damaged D3A Val: 8 destroyed, 33 damaged B5N Kate: 29 destroyed, 27 damaged Allied aircraft losses F4F-3 Wildcat: 6 destroyed, 7 damaged P-26A: 16 destroyed, 3 damaged P-36A Mohawk: 30 destroyed, 16 damaged P-40B Tomahawk: 60 destroyed, 58 damaged B-18A Bolo: 11 destroyed, 14 damaged PBY Catalina: 37 destroyed, 53 damaged B-17E Fortress: 8 destroyed, 9 damaged SBD Dauntless: 14 destroyed, 10 damaged A-20B Boston: 6 destroyed, 11 damaged Allied Ships BB Pennsylvania, Bomb hits 9, Torpedo hits 1, on fire BB Nevada, Bomb hits 4 BB Oklahoma, Bomb hits 7 BB Tennessee, Bomb hits 10, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage BB Maryland, Bomb hits 3 BB West Virginia, Bomb hits 5, Torpedo hits 2, on fire BB Arizona, Bomb hits 5, Torpedo hits 1, on fire BB California, Bomb hits 7, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage DD Chew, Bomb hits 1, on fire CL Raleigh, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Mercury, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CA Minneapolis, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CA New Orleans, Bomb hits 2, on fire AVD Hulbert, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage DD Bagley, Bomb hits 1, on fire DMS Zane, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage DD Dale, Bomb hits 1, on fire CL St. Louis, Bomb hits 1, on fire It could have been a lot worse. The Japanese did get a lot of Torpedo hits. No telling what the Japanese Carrier fleet’s intentions are for tomorrow. Will they stick around or will the fall back? Wake Island Naval bombardment of Wake Island proceeded an invasion of the tiny Island. Japanese warships dueled with Allied shore guns. The brave defenders of Wake Island held back the Japanese Invaders for a single day before falling in mass to the Japanese hordes Meanwhile Clark’s Field and Singapore fall under massive air attack, almost a hundred Nells cloud the skies over Singapore. Taking a massive toll on the destroying many planes on the ground. Landings happen all over the P.I. and Malaya, While a Japanese Carrier force takes station south of the Philippines to take out retreating ships. My opening strategy is just to be where Grraven isn't. I have no idea what I am doing in China and India. I guess I will have to play those areas by ear. Hopefully I won't do to bad trying to defend those areas. Jon Signing Off
