In my pool there is 200+ zero,300+val,200+kate.
I already stop producing vals and kates to save HI.Bettys also stopped becous i have 200+ these babies.
I have 300k+ oil in Osaka along with 250k+ resources.Not a single turn cant pass without ships unloading cargo in Sasebo,Osaka,Shangai,HK,Saigon,etc.
P.S. Thanks,I will try to keap this AAR interesting,and most interesting part will be defence later in game.I just love to defend

One more thing about aircraft production,i am running heavy research program on Judys and Jills.I think i have this planes little bit earlier.

Then i am strike Soserbaya with 200 bombers escorting by 120 zeros and some oscars with devastating result.Today he lost more than 200 planes.
And now,the main thing,my emily see his surface combat TF steaming north to my invasion fleet in Batavia.TF included BB Arizona and BB Revenge with escorts.Nagumo,Yamaguchi and Teraoka lunch joint attack against this treat to my interest in Jawa.BB Arizona sunk,BB Revenge crippled.Soon,this campaing will be over.
I will earn some unexpected VPs here.

You need to be determined here and finish your job - destroy his damaged ac on the ground (should have plenty of them siting damaged on the AF) and sink his capitol ships. But don't allow yourself to get sick of "Japanese victory sindrom".... - sometimes it is enough just one unlucky turn to ruin all your effort.

IMHO, this is a vaste of supply and time. By the time when these ac arrives, allied fighters will eat them anyway. It is a better to research fighters, IMO...

Agree.
This second run over Soerabaja was devastating. His air forces should be in a very bad shape and you could easily finish his 2 BB (that do not return unlike his CVs :) )
Great job!

He doing one good thing,i spend supply on ammo for my BBs
KB sail again two hex east of Jawa and second day is covered with clouds,so no attack on cripled ships
He lunch 4E attack against my BBs in Batavia,again he lost about 30-40 planes while i lost few.
These days is good to be on Japanese side.

When he see that defeat is near,he may try to save some of his units from Soserbaya.
Plan is,when i close airprts in the southern area i will move with KB and BBs,KB will bombard harbour(i see huge number of ships there)while BBs will cover the exit.
I can smell a lot of VPs here,and i will take it.
After Jawa i will be close to 4-1 ratio.
In order to have a more VPs,Russia will be invaded.Today i will announce my plan for Russia to GH giving him more time to prepare.

Late DB and TB are a waste. All you are going to need from '43 and on are fighters.
Save the HI for something else. You won't have many chances to use your DB in '43.

Good job so far.

They have no AA to speak of, but their main battery is one of the great ship killing guns of all time. You are fortunate to be able to fight them with planes.

A very interesting battle, if you can take Java quickly it will be a major Japanese victory.

Yes,i now that.I simply cant understand why he sent surfase ships to engage my invasion forces.He now,when day is come those ships will be obliterated by kates,vals,bettys,nells. Looks like he found pirate trasure in soserbaya.
He must now that i must take Jawa asap,that means 90% of combined fleet is there. And he stand and fight,what a spirit.
In next few days he will lost all his aircraft in Jawa,then KB will came close and sink everything. He gambles too much,way to much.
Also,Tanaka is doing good job with BBs

You are right.

Status: offline 		My belief is that the land and airforce commitment may prove justified if the air units cause enough damage and the land units buy enough time. Both of these questions will be answered as the game proceeds it is too early to tell right now.

At any rate I don't believe the decision to commit them is foolish on the face of things.

But the naval commitment is getting Hoepner very little in exchange for very heavy losses. Japan in not losing ships and the land advance in not being delayed. Compare this with my Lunacy game with Mogami where the Prince of Wales hit the Japanese fleet twice and sunk the Suzuya and several DDs. The Japs sunk some of my DDs and cruisers too, it was not a clear cut Allied victory but I did get some benefits for my losses.

Hoepner is getting some payoff for his air campaign a large number of Japanese planes and pilots are gone. But the ships are not scoring, I don't think Hawker has lost a single vessel in surface combat.

Status: offline 		Well allied fighters will be scarce for several months so that the Japanese will have time to retrain their pilots. The problem with allies is that they have quantities of models each with only a driblet of reinforcements a month. PDU improve things but in a game of attrition the allies will run short of aircraft before the Japanese, the allied pilots will also get shot down before they have time to build experience.

So the Japanese meetgrinder will be halted for a while in Java but the cost in grinded units will be heavy.

The point is whether or not the extra time of resistance gained will compensate the extra losses suffered.

I think the key in allied defense is to know when to hold in order to delay the Japanese and when to withdraw to save forces tofight elsewhere in order to optimize the resistance power of your units and make the better use of them. Withdrawing without fighting is not a solution as is allows the Japanese to advance fast and without losses, fighting to the finish everywhere is not a solution either asit leads to increased allied losses and the time gained by the sacrifice of your units does not compensate for the time those units could have gained elsewhere if they had been evacuated before the end.

The answer is simple: he is Jap fanboy and he just can't play Allied side - I've tried once on the Allied side back in the UV days and played similar strategy - simple did not care about my "allied" losses.

Status: offline 		Hi all,

I dont think that his air force will survive enough time to seriously hit my ground forces.He try several time to attack my LCUs with SBDs and TBDs,even when he commit about 100 bombers result are poor and totally unaccetible by him. He only manage to disable 38 men,and these attacks cause no disruption. Only real treat is 4E bombers which he lost many. His airports at south is in hard position,two more attacks on Soserbaya AF will close that airport,also he will lost many planes at ground. He has two more airports,but these airports are treatened by my LCU. Only real airport is Soserbaya AF which i will close.
He has noumerous ships in Soserbaya harbour,with AF closed KB will come along with BB fleet and start to colect easy points.
My opinion is,
he must evacuate Jawa while AF in Soserbaya still open and provides cover. When i close this airport he wont be able to retreat and all men and ships in Soserbaya will be doomed.
His time running out,with Jawa secured and Manila is about to fall i will have 4-1.
Furthermore,Noumea will be attacked,and most important thing,Russia will be invaded in order to secure 4-1 ratio.
I make terrible mistakes in China and i must do that.

I totally agree, he must be soooo low on everything but F4F's.
He won't be able to stand his ground (fighter-wise) for at least two months from now. He must have burnt out all he had at this point.

Everything is going according to plan,Soserbaya is regulary bombarded. Today he manage to organize "cap" of 5 wildcats and 5 wirraways,he must be desperate.
My fighters quickly shot down his cap and massacre planes on the ground. Tomorrow,Djoakarta will fall. He is running out of time.

Have you cut Soerabaja off from the rest of Java? If GH has built up the fortifications and has some good combat troops and supplies it could hold out for quite a while. You don't want to let retreating troops slip in to add to the defense.

Good luck -

Status: offline 		Hi David,

I was unable to cut his troops becouse he has strong airport in Soserbaya,well it was strong airport. Now,only ruins and broken planes are there. Within a month i will have 8000 APs in Jawa,that is more than enough.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/18/42

Another day of beating the allies,now i am convinced that Jawa is big mistake for him. He will manage to delay my advances 1 month,but with how many casulties. Big mistake becouse i am after Jawa only going for Noumea (if not heavily guarded),then i will switch to defence.

Today my bombers strike again Soserbaya AF,he has no cap so my sallys ruin planes and airstrip.
New HQ of gen.Yamashita is luxury hotel in Djoakarta,troops are enter Kragen which will fall tomorrow.
Bettys and nells sinking his ships arround Soserbaya,i call it good training. After i secure Medion i will sent all my airforce there for final push,Soserbaya will be destroyed to the ground.

More troops Landing at Naga,after those man arrive in Manila i will have 4000 APs there,so Manila will fall within 10 days. After that units will embark in already ready transports and go for our final push in Jawa.

Here is some interesting AARs from previous day,
