PacFleet HQ, Pearl Harbor Hawaii, 14 December 1941 The sound of quick footsteps can be heard outside the war room, as Commander Ryan walks in, breathing hard Marky: Why do i get the feeling im about to have a heart attack... Ryan: Sir, weve recieved a report thast Baker Island has fallen. Marky: Baker? Thats right near the convoy routes to Australia. The 2 officers walk over to the grand map, as Nimitz walks in Nimitz: Whats up? probably bad news right? Ryan: Yes sir, Baker has just fallen Marky: Commander what do you think this is? Is it just a quickie grab? Ryan: It could be sir im not sure Marky: You think this is an attempt to cut off Australia? Ryan: sigh Its possible sir, but we of course dont have much intel on it Marky: All right Commander i want you to find out what we can deploy and do ASAP, and get me some kinda intel Ryan: Aye aye sir.

Baker is a direct threat to the convoy lanes to Australia as soon as i can i intend to eliminate that threat!

marky -> RE: Baker Is FALLS... (2/28/2007 4:13:16 AM)
Thus shall begin a nother "Battle Of Baker" [:D]

Pac Fleet HQ, Pearl Harbor Hawaii Ryan, Nimitz and Marky are looking at the map, adding what has been lost Ryan: And that about sums it up sirs. Nimitz: Hmm, theyre moving faster than we thought Marky: Indeed. We need to accelerate those convoys. Ryan: Yes sir the Lexington and Enterprise will arrive within 48 hours. Marky: What if we abandon Canton? Ryan: I wouldnt suggest abandoning anything sir, or the enemy will move right in Marky: Hmm indeed, but we dont neccessarily have the resources to defend everything Commander Ryan: No sir, but we must defend the lines to Australia, and Australia itself Marky: You think the japs will contemplate an invasion of Australia? Ryan: sigh Its possible sir, but itd be a hell of a job to do, and theyd need alot of troops and ships and material and aircraft, and certainly all their carriers to support it, itd be a big gamble. Nimitz: I thought Washington and Marshall didnt think the japs would even try that Marky: Yes they did say so, but i dont know, theyre pretty strong right now and look how far theyve advanced Ryan: Yes sir Marky: They could always just cut Australia off and leave em be Ryan: Yes sir they could Marky: We gotta look at the big picture here boys. What is the singular thing that would hurt us most? Aside from losing Pearl? Nimitz: Hmm. Well theres alot of things they could do to hurt us bad. Marky: True, but we ghave to try to put ourselves in their minds. The last time i knew the japs were ardent believer of Mahans theories, and supporters of the "decisive battle" Ryan: Yes sir marky: So its possible that the japs will go after something so valuable that we HAVE to fight for it, thereby luring us into battle with all those carriers they got in their fleet. Ryan: Yes sir Nimitz: Agreed, that makes sense Marky: So gentleman, what will they decide to go after IF they decide to go the route of the decisive battle? Lets assume for the moment theyll want to knock our fleet out and sink our carriers. What will they do? Nimitz: They may go after the South Pacific, to try and lure us out, since theres not many good airfields in that area they wont have to worry so much about land based air Ryan: I agree with that sirs. Marky: Do you think theyll eventually go after Hawaii? Ryan: Im not sure sir, its a possibility, but recon and our subs have spotted alot of enemy shipping around the Marshalls and Truk Marky: So first theyre going for the Solomons and Rabaul? Ryan: Possibly sir, we just, we need more intel Marky: all right then, lets get some more subs out there to spot and get these convoys movin faster Nimitz: Aye aye sir Ryan: Aye aye sir Marky: ALl right bouys lets get back to work....

Good luck to you Marky. I am playing against Dive right now myself, and would love to see you spank him!

AU Tiger_MatrixForum -> RE: Baker Is FALLS... (3/1/2007 6:21:41 AM)
I will tell you this about his play: he is a careful player and supports naval advances with LBA very well. In land combat he doesn't rush in, he sits back, builds planning levels and rolls forward. He does have a tendency to grow bored and do something not well thought out - that is your opportunity against him. More details would give away too much of what you have to face, but he is a good opponent, and very regular with his turns. He does tend to spout Jap phrases at you in e-mails that I have no idea what they mean, so I reply with Suzukisushinissanhonda or something of the sort. I will be following your AAR closely to see how you handle him. I have a question though: tell me about your strafing with your fighters, is your morale suffering? The attacks don't seem too effective from where I am sitting. What are your thoughts on this?

marky -> RE: Baker Is FALLS... (3/1/2007 6:28:34 AM)
hmm, thankys [:)] my experience with the strafing is they get experience from it, plus it causes attrition, and eventually they start following the bullets up with bombs its mainly an annoyance thing but it does casuse some damage

But im trying to fall back on Manila and Singapore and turn it into a slug match ive replaed Percival and Macarthur with Downing and Short and im builing up more forts my hope is that this "easy victory" will help to lul DB into a fall sense of security, and maybe infect him with victory disease he must know im an inexperienced opponent concerning long scenarios, and i intend on using that to my advantage i want him to get cocky then...

quote: ORIGINAL: marky and while in the short term jhes gonna roll over the Pacific, in the long term he cannot hope to win this war A Fabian strategy. Sort of a scorched earth strategy in the water of the Pacific. Marky, just don't forget to read the automatic victory conditions.

Oh, and Marky, Baker isn't such a direct threat to your Aussie bound convoys. Canton Island's fall is. Neither cas be held if Mr. KB and the Japanese really want them at this point, but, Canton is doable if you acted quickly at th ebeginning of the game to get INF reinforcements to it. Good luck in your game. Your strategy is interesting and, in my view, realistic. I'm sure you'll choose your fights carefully.

PacFleet HQ Pearl Harbor Hawaii All is calm as Adms Marky and Nimitz are looking over the grand map, as Commander Ryan walks in... Marky: Commander, any news for us? Ryan: Yes sir, we know the location of the enemy carriers Marky: What? where? Ryan: near Rabaul sir. It looks like theres at least 3 or 4, possibly more judging by the estimate of the number of Vals that attacked Marky: How many? Ryan: Almost a hundred sir, possibly more Nimitz: That sounds like Kido Butai to me Marky: Indeed Nimitz: What about all those convoys down there? Ryan: Well sir, we know that there was a jap sub near Canton, and they may know were reinforcing the base Marky: But they may not know all the carriers are at Pearl, they may not know at all where they are Ryan: Yes sir Nimitz: You thinkin of droppin in on em? Marky: Possibly, but wed still be outnumbered, outgunned. sigh How many carriers do we have available? Nimitz: 3. Enterprise, Lexington and Saratoga. Yorktown is on her way to San Francisco, but she might not make it here in time. Marky: Well then lets tread lightly, and carry a large carrier task force... Fade to black
