ny59giants: Yeah. Definately BUT a lot of things need to happen first. A) I need destroy bulk of his navy and airforce. Dave has a lot of AP's lying around South Pacific, Philippines, Singapore and DEI. I would hate to see him start some crazy amphibitous offensive. B) Secure few bases more for my LBA's so I can isolate Japan compltetely. Dave has still strong forces all around. This kind of an huge operation cannot commence before late 1945 though. String: [:D][:D][:D][:D] Pauk: Actually very good question. I would assume he is flying Kamikazes at max ceiling just as PzB is doing. I will ask what his trick is when using Kamikazes. (He has hit quite a few ships with them) Dave has used his fighters at defensive missions. I guess that gives somekind of bonus to his planes. It has been very fierce battles all around. Game date is 3rd of February 1945 Tokyo Day Air attack on Tokyo , at 66,43 Allied aircraft SB2C Helldiver x 262 Allied aircraft losses SB2C Helldiver: 26 destroyed, 110 damaged Japanese Ships SS I-201, Bomb hits 9, on fire, heavy damage Japanese ground losses: 291 casualties reported Guns lost 15 Port hits 33 Port supply hits 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Tokyo , at 66,43 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 70 P-61A Black Widow x 11 B-24J Liberator x 223 Allied aircraft losses B-24J Liberator: 2 destroyed, 23 damaged Resources hits 129 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Tokyo , at 66,43 Allied aircraft P-38J Lightning x 16 P-61A Black Widow x 3 B-24J Liberator x 146 Allied aircraft losses B-24J Liberator: 1 destroyed, 28 damaged Resources hits 74 ....Dave launched some Kamikazes and thankfully these planes did not hit anything! [8\|] Day Air attack on TF at 65,49 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 20 A6M3a Zero x 24 Allied aircraft FM-2 Wildcat x 378 F6F Hellcat x 382 Hellcat II x 30 Corsair IV x 13 Japanese aircraft losses A6M5 Zeke: 20 destroyed A6M3a Zero: 24 destroyed Allied Ships CVE Salamaua CV Hornet CVE Long Island Operation Wipeout has begun. We should see some action in due time. ...also *Operation Whale* has begun too. More news on this coming soon. RAF is very active in Burma supporting my troops there. Japanese really due have an strong forces in the area. We should see a lot more action very soon. [;)]

Operation Wipeot: This operation is should reach its target next turn. I will launch an large airstrike againts enemy ships anchored at Manila. Last turn around 400 ships were reported. It seems that Dave has a lot of fighters stationed at Luzon so I do expect heavy resistance. US B29's will conduct an unescorted airfield bombing run againts Manila in support. I do expect heavy lossess but these are affortable. Operation Whale I have dispatched some allied ground units towards New Caledonia. These troops should land within few days time. This operation does not have air support so it might all go down the toilet. Worth the gamble though. Elsewhere allied troops are making steady progress towards Mandalay.

A couple of positive things to mention... Pauk wondered how Dave got his Kamikazes through. Well, he is using the same method as PzB in his game vs Andy. This is ok though since we do not have any houserules regarding maxium ceiling Kamikaze strikes. I don't have the turn back BUT dave did email me and said that he lost more than 700 aircraft last turn. So, I gather the Manila offensive did quite a lot of damage. ...and the biggest positive news is that we had new arrival to our household. A newborn daughter saw the light this morning.... [:)][:)][:)] ...this leaves me severely handicapped since now I got an "better half" + 2 young daughters....

Congrats Aztez! Of course, that means twice as much jewelry to buy, and two weddings... I've got two boys myself (1 and 2 years old). -F-

He is busy and I intend to keep him busy in our game too! [:D][:D]

This is a very risky operation so if it faills than so be it. The troops start to land at Noumea next turn. In Burma allied troops should reach Mandalay within next few turns. Dave has some 24 units waiting there so it is going to be bloody.

I'am withdrawing whatever I can into NZ. This was an gamble to begin with so I'am not disappointed. Too bad my ships did start to unload 1 day too late... (this would have succeeded otherwise) I'am keeping my CV's near Luzon for at least 3 days. This ought to cause Dave a lot of harm and headache. I do expect heavy resistance and some Kamikaze hits too. Just need to be aggressive here. Allied troops should also reach Mandalay next turn. I'am considering moving B29's into India to support these operations.

quote: ORIGINAL: String LRCAP'ing P38's and P51's can intercept the highalt kamis. Thanks String! [:)] I thought so too. At the moment LRCAP is not an option for CV cover since I'am forced to operate way too far ahead. I'am hauling supplies into Iwo Jima and Bonin's for the next assault. Currently looking for an invasion possibilities either at Naha or Okinawa. The base needs to be in range of Home Islands so I can deploy my 2E bombers and some short ranged fighters into action too. Also to isolate the Japan totally. ...but supplies first [:)] ...allied CV's, troops and late war assaults will eat a lot of supplies... could not imagine this before I started. [8\|]

I swapped some fighter squadrons around by placing P51 Mustangs into Iwo Jima. This will give my 4E better escorted range when striking againts Home Islands. Allied CV's have also headed out to sea. They are ordered to strike againts Nagasaki airfield and harbour. It seems Dave has moved some 50 AP's in there plus have seizeable fighter cover put in place. I want to cut off whole Japan and hopefully this will serve as message. Dave has hurt quite a few CV,CVL and CVE's with his Kamikazes and naval strikes. These ships will return into Pearl Harbour for repairs. Thankfully I can replace these ships with my reinforcements and reserves. The combined allied assault at Mandalay was unsuccesfull. The bright side is that enemy losses were higher than mine so I will continue to bomb the place with LBA's. (Actually some B29's will join up the action soon.)

I need start burning his supplies here before the Russians enter the war.

Hi, I think that the "Combined Fleet is located..." message reffers to HQ and not the ships.. Just a thought..

Noticed in my IJN CHS PBEM that there is an Combined fleet HQ unit there. Thank you for pointing this out. [:)] As things stand and IF the Okinawa operations go as planned we might see an invasion of Home Islands in the Autumn of 1945. Not guaranteed though.

Nothing special last turn. I guess the biggest news is that we will clash again after this game is over. Me as Japan and Dave as allies. (He gets a chance to payback all these developments) We will be using stock game with Andrews Map mod. Naturally multiday turns this time around with 2 day cycles. Other houserules we will discuss later. Well back to the current game. I continue to bomb resources at Home Islands... Try to advance in Burma... and now prepare for the oncoming invasions at Okinawa. After that... I don't know! Home Islands and Korea seem only viable options allthough I would like to have Russia active if I enter Korea.

Ground combat at Mandalay Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 183716 troops, 546 guns, 2389 vehicles, Assault Value = 3520 Defending force 82027 troops, 236 guns, 2 vehicles, Assault Value = 1474 Allied max assault: 3052 - adjusted assault: 1949 Japanese max defense: 1414 - adjusted defense: 6267 Allied assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 6) Japanese ground losses: 2554 casualties reported Guns lost 48 Allied ground losses: 2376 casualties reported Guns lost 38 Vehicles lost 30 Despite huge RAF bombing raids the odds remain unfavourable. Hopefully, the spirit of the defenders will drop soon enough.

Hi Jari Catching up here in lieu of Pauk and PzB being on holiday (should not be allowed) [;)]. Crikey a lots been going on since i last read it (page back or so). How are you finding the high alt Kamis ? . Joe and I are just hitting that territory, with max 4 carriers per hex would 'normal' attacks get through or is uber CAP still an issue ? ~I think Mandalay must be the bloodiest hex on the map for several AAR's , your doing an andy there arent you [;)] could you post a piccie of the whole pacific as it'll be interesting to see what japan has left, noumea came as a suprise to me. So did the strength of the defences. good luck as ever

So did the strength of the defences. good luck as ever Hi Rob! Everything is ok in Britain I assume? [:)] Since we do not have maxium CV houserule per hex I won't mind having the high altitude Kamikazes in the game. These guys have hit quite a few carriers and even sunk some. Dave seems to have "endless" pool of pilots and Zeke's available even though I have bombed the HI to dust.... but to answer your question the high altitude Kamikazes are an menace and IF you have CV per hex houserule I would assume that they are deadly. (Much more than what they ought to be) [:D][:D] ...Yeah, I'am doing definately Andy at Mandalay. I don't even know how many soldiers have become casualties there. Here is the piccie you requested...

Everythings fine over here thanks Jari, How you cope with 2 small kids and 3 AAR's is beyond me [;)] Thanks for the piccie .. and OMG ! thats 1945.. wow .. really differant game you have there Dave must be a great player to hold on to all that. Hats off to you for getting to 1945 without losing the west coast or india [:D] Could you do a multi division (pref the tank divs) drive to isolate mandalay? worked for me vs Joe, if you do go to the west of mandalay and then drive SE , might at least force some men from mandalay. and as your not planning on amphibs in SEAC I assume you have tons of men available. anyhoo just a suggestion How is it now you have to go back to work? hope the boss isn't as prattish as before Good luck ..

Hi Rob, Yeah. Dave pretty much declined every attempt.. unfortunately for him CenPac was his achilles heel... to be honest I think he have actually won this one since he repulsed me everywhere. I doubt the encirclement would work at Mandalay. Dave has some 24-30 units near Rangoon so he could easily wipe out any such an attempt! [:(] ...that is an sad truth to be seen. Actually I don't have tons of men available. Most of them are fighting in Burma. I cannot abandon India since he has sizeable forces with transports which could sail right in! So, at the moment amphibitious operations are on hold for time being in SEAC. Dave will be out of town from Tuesday - Thursday so maybe 1 more turn before he leaves. As for RL. It is hectic at best! [:D] ...those 2 daughters ain't exactly calm... I think the older one could be portrayed in an Duracell battery commercial... " going... going... still going!" As for work.. well plenty of to do it! [:(] ...I guess it never really slow down in IT world.. unfortunately. The boss is somewhat ok I guess he has come to grip with reality of things. Allthough he was full of energy today! [8\|] [:D] ..I try to run some Witp before I goto work in the morning. At least the combat replays and maybe even do a turn. (That saves some time) ...and after work when ever I get a chance try to finish my turns and find sometime to update the AAR's. I would love to do more indepth AAR's with a lot of extra stuff but... well I'am out of time! [:(]
