My Allied Check List till the End of 1944 ' 1) Figure out where to land the US 6th and 8th Army 2) Destroy the Imperial Japanese Navy 3) Secure one of the major Cities in India 4) Break the stalemate at Shikka 5) Decimate all Japanese Industry from Sendai to Kagoshima 6) Save the USSR at Iman

RUPD3658 -> RE: What is Tom up to?? (8/2/2007 5:41:26 AM)
Japan's checklist for the rest of 44 1. Find a way for the IJN, INAF, and IJNAF to go out in a blaze of glory 2. Finish off Russia 3. Not lose[:'(]

RUPD3658 -> Allied CVs in the Indian Ocean (8/2/2007 5:53:22 AM)
Allied CVs made their first appearance in the IO and made me pay for it. I had thought that India would be a land based campaign so I had been careless with my surface units. Time to change my defensive plan yet again. The only highlight for me was sinking 3 Allied subs and plastering Etorofo Jima with my BBs. Hopefully my CA that ate two torps will make it home.

KDonovan -> Possible CV Battle Next Turn...stay tuned.. (8/7/2007 3:39:49 AM)
Well the KB has finally come out and play. Looks like the IJN has decided to snatch Etoforu Is. back from the Allies. As luck would have it, i have Spruance sitting off the Japanese home waters with TF58 ready to pounce with about 1,000 Carrier aircraft at his disposal. Orders have been given for the "decisive" battle, of the war. To the north of the battle, the entire 11th Air Force at Paramushiro has been put on high alert. 300 B24's have been put on 100% naval search, 400 B25J's have been set to Naval attack, as well as 100 P47 Thunderbolts. 100 P38J's have also been assigned to provide LRCAP over TF58. In addition, 60 Black Widow's and 40 Catalina's have been assigned to night naval attack missions. Despite all this firepower, i somehow dread the upcoming battle. Would be a waste to lose this game after 1 and 1/2 years of game play in late 1944 as the allies. [:(] [image]local://upfiles/18184/04CD3AD6CF214977A7A5EF7E30773031.jpg[/image]

No carrier battle but my feint towards Etorofo drew Allied 4E bombers beyond the range of their fighter escort and to their doom. Over 200 4E bombers were shot down yet I still lost close to 50 fighters. Many of these were Kamikaze units flying CAP so maybe they rammed. In India I retook Bangalore with a counter attack force. If my estimates are correct I may have more AV in India then the Allies do. Let's see if I can take Karachi a second time.[8D] The sad thing is that is good as this turn went for me, due to strategic losses and shipping losses Kenny still outscored me nearly 2:1 (654:347). Still, any turn in which I am only slapped around and not totally pounded has to be seen as a good turn[;)] AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 09/15/44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Air attack on TF, near Etorofo Jima at 76,37 Allied aircraft Catalina I x 15 Allied aircraft losses Catalina I: 1 destroyed, 12 damaged Japanese Ships CL Noshiro CL Oi DD Sagi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Etorofo Jima at 76,37 Japanese Ships DD Shirakumo DD Sagi DD Kari DD Wakaba DD Take DD Hagikaze CL Noshiro Allied Ships SS Pomfret, hits 4 (Isn't this what the French call french fries?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Etorofo Jima at 76,37 Japanese Ships CA Ashigara CL Noshiro CL Kitakami CL Oi DD Hagikaze DD Wakaba DD Shirakumo DD Take, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk DD Sagi DD Kari Allied Ships PT PT-249 PT PT-250 PT PT-251 PT PT-252 PT PT-262 PT PT-263 PT PT-264 PT PT-295 PT PT-301 PT PT-455 PT PT-488 PT PT-489 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naval bombardment of Etorofo Jima, at 76,37 - Coastal Guns Fire Back! 4 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

Allied subs continue to sink ships at an alarming pace. I would rather lose ships to air strikes and hope for a flak or ops kill. Once again my fighters intercepted a fighter sweep.

I am currently reading Richard Frank's "Downfall" and this gave me an idea. Japan was planning a suicidal air drop on Tinian to destroy the B-29s base but it was foiled by Ultra and the transports were destroyed on the ground. When I saw an AF icon but no troop icon at Ketoi Jima I decided to see if I could try something like this. I ended up destroying 8 Coronados on the ground. Not as dramitic as raiding Tinian but still fun when you are 99% on the defensive. I only see 3 LCUs at Tinian so I have not ruled out a raid yet.

Okinawa landing is a prelude to my invasion of the home islands....to see how fast i can land and establish a beach head

RUPD3658 -> RE: Okinawa invaded! (8/22/2007 2:38:26 AM)
Just remember that once you land in the home islands, I can commit my reserves for a counter-attack. Not so on Okinawa.

RUPD3658 -> RE: Okinawa invaded! (8/22/2007 5:07:27 AM)
A TF of damaged ships was offered up as target practice on the hopes of scoring a few flak kills. No such luck. [:(] Still, it is more honorable a fate than to be sunk in port. It is interesting, however, that even though ordered not to fly without escorts, the Alled 4E bombers flew unescorted. Once the Allied CVs leave the area I may see if I can lure more 4E bombers to their doom.

No turn for the weekend as Kenny is away. Loyal readers should stay tuned as Kenny just discovered that the KB has made a run for the DEI. [sm=scared0018.gif] They had a 4 day head start so it will be interesting to see if they make it. Fingers are crossed[sm=innocent0001.gif]

Mike Solli -> RE: The Great Escape..... (8/25/2007 12:38:54 AM)
