Could you please make a more detailed analysis of real loses after this bombardment? I mean which of your units suffered and how much, how many supplies were destroyed and such. This would give some data to base predictions on.
Saratoga should be fine, no heavy damage is a good sign.


YEs, for sure. As soon as Trollelite sends me back the file-turn...by now i have only the reply and the combat txt....

Karachi can hold. Its a city hex, which means that your units at worst (without supply or forts) will fight at x0.25. The bombardments affect your second line troops, but your combat values should be practically unharmed. See it this way. If you have to fight somewhere in 1942, Karachi would be it. If you leave Karachi or if he captures Karachi, then all his units that are now in India will head to Australia.

The guy you are playing against is one of the most gamey players Ive ever come across, and the houserules you have agreed to is making it practically impossible to stop him now.

One question though. Exactly what are the changes he has made to the scenario? Im getting the sinking feeling that you will be up against some really magical jap fighters in 43-44...


Don't say so, please. I would like not to make this game becoming an attack against Trollelite.
We're playing CHS scenario 160, and i havent seen any changes from the normal CHS scenario file, so i assume he hasn't edited anything.

What puzzles me most is that not even a single coastal gun shot back during the BBs' run...not a single one!

I don't get it - you mean he changed the scenario in addition to those house rules???




Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 3:43:47 PM)

No, we're playing CHS 160. What Panzerjaeger was saying is that he probably has edited the scenario. While i do not agree with this statement-




witpqs -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 3:48:17 PM)

BTW, I found this in a Karachi newspaper just after that KB attack. It seems the defenders of Karachi are a tough lot. [:)]

Yes, in Karachi my guys are eager to fight till the last bullet, till the last sip of british blood!

Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 4:41:22 PM)

However guys the Kaga and those 2 damned CVEs, damaged last turn were not intercepted by my subs. My Catalinas at Karachi, due to the NUKE bombardment, didn't take off, so now i'm quite blind for what concerns naval air search.....
I'll keep an aye on the naval losses screen...[;)]




Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 4:57:15 PM)

After the last bloody battles the KDAF (Karachi Defence Air Force) has many more aces!
The strange fact is that in my top pilots list i do not have a single KIA or MIA, just some WIA...well, the better! Look at the new aces! i'll try to take a track of them in the next weeks...

FO Taylor, E.M. of No.232 Squadron RAF is credited with kill number 5

Andy Mac -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 5:58:25 PM)

That looks bad but is probably not decisive.

Your principal air cover is I assume inland and therefore untouched. 20,000 casualties hurt but that will be mostly disabled.

The low number of guns or vehicles knocked out are probably from the base forces.

I would have subs at Karachi and the hex outside and more at Bombay and hope to get lucky.

What forces do you have at Aden ?

My air force is at Malir Andy, so yes, far from BBs' guns, but as you can see from the same Txt report, he started to send towards Malir waves of 300 bombers escorted by 120 oscars...and the zeros are yet to come! So my KDAF (air force in karachi) cannot really hold its ground against these odds. I simply do not have the poolls to face these numbers. No way.
I'm looking forward to come back home and see what those 20000 casualities look like...the main problem is that my AA guns will be almost completely disabled...which is bad[:@]
Anyway, hope to hold on for another month....




Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 6:23:46 PM)

At Aden i have 2 Air HQs, 2 base forces, 1 Indian tank regiment and the 6th AIF division which is arriving in few days.... problem is that i cannot bring them to Karachi with the KB there and 10 subs lurking in front of the Channell....

Considering the number of times Saratoga ate a torpedo IRL you can grin and carry on.




Elladan -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 6:33:46 PM)

Use some subs for transport. Where do you have Nautilus and Argonaut? There is enough time to slowly reinforce your troops at Karachi.




Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/11/2008 8:19:22 PM)

I'm going out for dinner (looking for G.F. Mk. X model...[:D])

The Saratoga has 26 sys, 22 flt. and 12 fires...she should make it...but will stay in port for quite a while..

At Karachi the bombardments haven't been than lethal...or..better, not to my stockpiled supplies..but my AA units and my artillery are completely out of order...the average is something like 4-5/60-70 ....so 30%killed and the rest disabled...[:(]...however the fighting units are ok[;)]

Another bad day...2 subs damaged near karachi by 2 lucky single hits and another 2 bombardment runs against my capital...this time the CAs were the protagonists...
Then he came sweeping Malir...lost 10 oscars against only 1 hurricanes but my numbers in terms of fighters are ridiculous compared to his...

The Saratoga is not well...39 sys, 26 fl. 10 fires...[:@]

He conquered Vigan, at Luzon...with 650 AVs!!!![X(][X(][X(][X(]...gotta fortify back at Clark-Manila-Bataan triangle and abbandon the rest...[:(]

\\Lurking mode off\\

Hi, I've found your AAR interesting enough to delurk and first to say that you have my deepest respect for agreeing on those houserules. I've always felt that myself I never put restrictions on others players with houserules, only on myself. The point is to have fun, winning is just an bonus IMNSHO.

Secondly, I've followed most of your AARs and I am very impressed with your playingstyle, if I weren't such an abyssmal Japanese player I'd offer you a game (not that I'd have the time for it anyway).

Thirdly, could you kindly post a screenshot of the entire Pacific so we can see what he has taken and what he hasn't? I'm sure most of your readers would find it interesting.

Fourthly, the Saratoga ought to be back as good as new in two, two and a half months. I'm not sure you can do too much anyway in that time that you need her for. Want is another matter though [;)].

Fifthly, do you think you can hold the Phillipines against those naval regiments he has scraped together? I hope so because I think he made a bad strategic blunder in throwing everything and the kitchen sink at India.

Good luck.

Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Karachi NUKED and saratoga torpedoed... (1/12/2008 2:47:47 AM)

Thx Johan for jumping in! Glad you've enjoyed this AAR..
I've posted the overall map few pages ago...didn't change much. He didn't go south of Rabaul in the pacific and i've retaken the Marshalls back!

He won't conquer the PI with 600 AVs...i have nearly 3 times his odds and i can well stay behind forts...no, the triangle (Manila-Bataan-Clark) is safe for the moment.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/14/42

Another bad day guys.
The KDAF (Karachi Defence air force) fought another great battle over Malir, shooting down 55 enemy planes (15 zeros!) but my losses are high (45 in A2A and more 46 on the ground). The KDAF is officially disbanded...only 22 fighters are left (just 6 operative[:(])...the bombers that had the legs to fly away have been moved to China, along with 2 Buffalos groups. Those who have not will stay and die.
The bulk of my aces is wounded or dead. Stevenson, flying an hurricane, has been shot down and now he's captured...he had 15 kills![:(]..may god bless him.
The skies are ruled by hundreds of jap planes...no way to stop them

Tomorrow we'll try to sneak 1 fast AP to Karachi, bringing in the first fragment of the 7th Armoured Bde....let's see if i get lucky...

In China we managed to place 2400 AVs at Changsha before he arrived! Good...now i think i'll lose Nanchang, but the inner china is safe again[8D] and that's the most important thing: stabilize the front!

My subs in India got another bad day...i'll probably lose 2 of them...[:(]

Sirs, today we see the final annihilation of the KDAF (Karachi defence air force). With some 80 planes lost today and with two major air raids led by japanese bombers, our air force is wiped out. Plain and simple. Now Karachi is left alone. No navy, no air force. Just a bunch of soldiers who do not want to be captured and who are willing to fight till the end...
