FeurerKrieg -> October 17th, 1942 (10/11/2008 7:13:18 AM)

October 17th, 1942
Some action today.

In the Pacific, 9 Bettys attacked Johnston Island. 16 P-38Fs tried to stop them and 2 Bettys were shot down. The 7 that got through managed to put a torpedo into the MSW Catbird, sinking the ship instantly.

Enemy minesweeper sunk


In China, the weather was perfect for our raid of Chengtu. 47 Osacrs and 27 Zeros escorted 110 Lily II, and 27 Sallys from Kweiyang to Chengtu. They met a CAP of 4 I-16c and 3 I-153c. These enemy planes were all shot down and the bomber pounded the airfields hard. A bit later, 41 Liz bombers from Changsha hit the airfields also, further damaging them. Along with the seven Chinese fighters shot down, 6 I-153c, 2 I-16c, 13 SB-2c and 5 IL-4c were all destroyed on the ground. Intel indicates there are no more operational planes at Chengtu and the airbase is heavily damaged if even usable at all.

Major raid on Chengtu hits the target


In the north Pacific, Paramushiro Jima expanded its airfield today. (sz 4)




FeurerKrieg -> October 18th, 1942 - Allied air attacks (10/11/2008 7:08:27 PM)

October 18th, 1942
The Allied air forces struck back today on all fronts.

60 Heavy Bombers from India hit Kweiyang. Our Zeros and Oscars managed to shoot down 2 B-24D Liberators, and damaged 15 of the other bombers. Several Lily IIs were lost on the ground, and damage was moderate, but with 600+ engineers at the base, it should be repairs fairly quickly. A Chutai of Nicks and a Sentai of A6M3 will be brought in to bolster the air defenses of the base. A couple AA regiments from Northeastern China have also been order to move to Kweiyang. One AA unit is already there.

Payback in China


44 P-40E Warhawks flew a sweep over Mandalay and found 7 Tojos on CAP. Two of our planes were lost, to none of theirs.

In the Pacific, 75 A-29 Hudson bombers from Hawaii attacked Palmyra. Our 21 Oscars damaged many and shot down 3 of the bombers. Airfield damaged was light, although 3 Betty bombers were destroyed on the ground. Some Nicks at Port Moresby will be moved to Palmyra as well as some Zeros from Kwajelein.

Long distance attack


A probing attack by an SNLF unit across the river into Chungking was forced back across the river immediately.Intel revealed a very strong force at the city of over 400,000 troops. (Adjusted defense of the base was 79,397!!)

San Fernando in the Philippines expanded its airfield today. (sz 2)




FeurerKrieg -> October 19th, 1942 - Allied air attacks (10/11/2008 8:28:46 PM)

October 19th, 1942
More air attacks today. At Palmyra, B-24Ds attacked, our Oscars were all in the air today, and damaged all the bombers. A couple crashed on the way home. We lost 3 Bettys on the ground.

In Burma, Hurricanes flew over Myitkina in both the morning and afternoon. Both times our Tonys met them, and both times three Hurricanes went down. We lost no Tonys in the morning, but lost 2 in the afternoon.

Dogfighting in Burma


Akyab was attacked as well, and although 7 Tonys were on CAP, only 1 Liberator III was damaged.




FeurerKrieg -> October 20th, 1942 (10/11/2008 11:12:52 PM)

October 20th, 1942
Large air attack on Chungking today. 108 Lily II, 15 Zero and 27 Oscars fought through 18 P-43A and 8 I-16c to moderately damage the Chungking airfields. Our Liz bombers were due to arrive, but could not take off due to poor weather at Changsha. 7 P-43A and 5 I-16c were lost in the air and on the ground.

Some Hurricanes bombed Myitkyina today. 7 Tonys there shot one of the enemy fighters down.




bigbaba -> RE: October 20th, 1942 (10/11/2008 11:39:36 PM)

great AAR, krieg. espacialy your style by mixing reports with in game screenshots. hope you continue this intresting battle report.




FeurerKrieg -> RE: October 20th, 1942 (10/12/2008 12:03:33 AM)

Thanks! I'm trying to catch up this weekend to the game, but it tough since we play several turns on Sat and Sun. I'm treading water about 7-8 days behind the actual game. When I'm caught up I tend to spend more time on nicer screenshots and historical pics.




FeurerKrieg -> October 21th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:04:45 AM)

October 21st, 1942
27 Zeros and 29 Oscars escorted 87 Lily II bombers to Chungking. They met 18 P-43A, and 5 I-16c. In air and on the ground, 5 P-43As, 4 I-16c, and 3 SB-2c were destroyed. 4 Zeros and 6 Oscars were lost. These were A6M3 Zeros that had some new guys flying. Over the next week we should be able to put up more Nicks, Tonys and Tojo over Kweiyang to protect it from heavy bomber raids.

Our troops began to bombard Kunming in preparation of attacking the base.




FeurerKrieg -> October 22th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:06:52 AM)

October 22nd, 1942
No air attacks anywhere today. Troops continue to shell Kunming.

Samah, Djokjakarta, and Goodenough Island all expand their airfields. (sz 4, 4, 2)




FeurerKrieg -> October 23rd, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:12:35 AM)

October 23rd, 1942
Liz bombers from Changsha attack enemy troops at Kunming as our troops launch their first attack which goes well. (1 to 1, forts 6 -> 5)

Assault on Kunming





FeurerKrieg -> October 24th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:26:37 AM)

October 24th, 1942
Allied heavy bombers return to bomb Kweiyang, but this time we were a bit better prepared. Although most bombers got through, we made them hurt a little today. Thankfully when the bombers hit the airbase, our own Lily II bombers were away supporting the ground assault at Kunming.
[image]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj283/bfeurer/kweiyang1.jpg[/image]
Allied heavys take some blows


The toll when all was done at Kweiyang was: (A2A losses/Ground Losses)
Japan
A6M2 Zero: 1/1
A6M3 Zero: 1/2
Ki-45 KAIa Nick: 0/1
Ki-43-Ib Oscar: 0/5
Ki-48-II Lily: 0/8
Ki-15 Babs: 0/1
Total: 20

Allies (all A2A & Ops)
B-24D Liberator: 7 (6 were also turned back before bombing)
Liberator III: 6
B-17D Fortress: 3
Total: 16

Not too bad, considering that most of all our pilots survived to fight again and that the damage to the airbase will be mostly fixed by tomorrow. More fighters are enroute to the area, and soon we will exact a higher price for these attacks.

The assault on Kunming proceed well again. (3 to 1, forts 5 -> 4)




FeurerKrieg -> October 25th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:43:53 AM)

October 25th, 1942
80 Lily II and 20 Sally bombers pounded enemy troops at Kunming, allowing our troops to easily force the Chinese out. The fled into the forest south east of the base. Along with the combat units, the Y'Force HQ unit retreated as well. With the capture of this base, we now control both sides of the Burma road. Only Chengtu and Chungking remain under Chinese control.
[image]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj283/bfeurer/kunming2.jpg[/image]
Kunming is captured


(Note, these Chinese retreated the wrong way and are now cut off. As such, OSO and I are going to try and get them to march north where I can attack and try to get them to retreat towards Chengtu like they should have in the first place.)




FeurerKrieg -> October 26th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:52:10 AM)

October 26th, 1942
Palmyra was hit by two Allied attacks today. First 26 B-24D's from Johnston attacked, and then 79 A-29 Hudsons from Hawaii attacked. Our CAP consisted of 17 A6M2 Zero, 17 Oscars, and 7 Nicks. The Nicks did quite well against the A-29's.

Final tally:
Japan (No A2A losses, all ground)
A6M2 Zero: 4
G4M1 Betty: 3
Ki-45-Ib Oscar: 2
Total: 9

Allies
B-24D Liberator: 9
A-29 Hudson: 16
Total: 25

Airfield was moderately damaged and with only 40 engineers here it does take a bit longer to fix. Another IJN Base Force is en route and will arrive in a week. That should help keep the base open with the extra 10 engineers.




FeurerKrieg -> October 27th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:56:16 AM)

October 27th, 1942
Liz bombers attack the pocket north of Changhsa. Also, our troops attack Chinese holding this side of the river west of Chungking. Although unable to dislodge the Chinese, more division will arrive in a couple days and we should be able to push them back then.

A small convoy of ships was spotted heading from Australia towards India via the Indian Ocean by one of our Glen subs. Our CS and CVE group at Soerabaja will sail tomorrow to try and catch this convoy with its Jakes.




FeurerKrieg -> October 28th, 1942 (10/14/2008 6:58:36 AM)

October 28th, 1942
No air action today. Our troops are again unsuccessful at pushing the Chinese back west of Chungking. They will rest a couple days and try again when reinforcements arrive.




FeurerKrieg -> October 29th, 1942 (10/14/2008 7:00:30 AM)

October 29th, 1942
No action today other than the continuing attacks against the pocket north of Changsha.

Port Blair expanded its airfield today, as did Morotai. (sz 4 and 2)




FeurerKrieg -> October 30th, 1942 (10/14/2008 7:02:38 AM)

October 30th, 1942
Liz and Sally bombers from Changsha hit the pocket to their north. Otherwise, a quiet day. Our fighters at and around Kweiyang continue to be replaced by new and better models.




FeurerKrieg -> October 31th, 1942 (10/14/2008 7:28:54 AM)

October 31, 1942
Happy Halloween 1942!

Our fighters returned to Chungking, this time with a new Tojo unit. 21 A6M2, 27 A6M3 and 15 Ki-44IIb Tojos tangled with 25 P-43A Lancers and 8 I-16c. These Chinese fought well, and we lost a few of the lower experienced pilots in our groups. We lost 1 A6M2, 3 A6M3 and 6 Tojos compared to 9 P-43A and 6 I-16c.

Dogfight in China


West of Chungking, our reinforced troops easily pushed the enemy troops across the river (21 to 1). We now surround 65% of Chungking.

Funafuti, in the Ellice Island chain, expanded its airfield today. (sz 1)

We received two new ships today! One is the DD Teruzuki, one of the superb Akizuki class destroyers. We also saw the new 6" armed, light cruiser Agano join the fleet.

FeurerKrieg -> October Stats (10/16/2008 7:50:13 AM)

I'll see if I can summarize the strategic situation tomorrow at work. For now, here are some stats, and in the next post I'll put up some new maps.

Allies managed to lose 100 planes more than we did, so that was nice to see. Although many are just Chinese planes, they did lose a handful of B-24D and A-29s. And as you will see in a couple days - they will be losing more in early November.

FeurerKrieg -> Nov 1, 1942 Maps (10/16/2008 7:54:47 AM)

Here we have our game map, historical map and a screen shot of the China/Burma front. China has become pretty small. Hopefully by the end of the year, only Chungking will remain. The main changes since the last map are the capture of most of China, and the loss of Johnston Island.

FeurerKrieg -> Overall Update pt 1 (10/21/2008 11:49:35 PM)

Been busy IRL but actually managed to get a few minutes at the office to post. Up to Nov 15th I think in the game now. Here is a run down of what's up and what I'm doing - 'Big Picture' style. You've seen the maps before this post, so feel free to refer to those if you need a visual. If you want to see anything specific or have questions, feel free to post.

Japan/Home Island: Oil is no problem, but resources are on the knife edge at all times. So far, I've only had one interruption of HI production and that was for about 5 days - but boy did the HI plummet then. About 180 days worth of oil in the HI, but empire wide there is enough oil to last the war. However, seeing as I have an abundance of supplies at the moment, and those oil centers won't always be under my control, I have started repair oil centers in Borneo. I think there is maybe 50 damage centers there.

The resources in Soerabaja are being repaired as well. All 500 points were damaged when the base was captured, and generally I don't repair resources since it costs 1000/pt, but in this game I need all I can get and, as mentioned, I can spare the 500,000 supplies much easier than the 500/res per day.

Ships: Ryujo and Musashi will both be launched on the same day around Dec 2nd or something like that. The first three Unryu class carriers will be launch around May 1943, so I'm very happy with that. I think CVL Ibuki will be coming along a couple months later, and then the remain Unryus should be out around Fall of 43. So - if all goes well - I'll have all Jap carriers except Taiho and Shinano out by the end of 1943. Given the supply situation I may expand the shipyards a bit more.

Planes: Not going crazy with plane construction yet since there are better models right around the corner. I haven't really expanded much but once A6M5s hit and some of the planes are will be under production for a longer stretch I will probably do some expansion.

Arm & Vehicle: Good shape here. Lots of Armament points, and I think all my Armor units are at 100% and are all upgraded to the latest tanks (Type 1 and 2 at the moment).






FeurerKrieg -> Overall Update pt 2 (10/22/2008 12:07:28 AM)

NoPac: Dutch Harbor (or Umnak? the one farther west) is AF6 now and 5-10 B-25's bomb my Islands up there to no real effect. I think I'm safe here at least until the Spring comes. I've built my airfields on the mountain terrain islands to make them harder to take, but I only have around 200 AV on each as I don't want to commit to a real fight so close to Alaska. PJ and OJ (to use Admiral Laurent's terms) are both built up nicely and I will be putting more troops there. I'm much more happy to fight at PJ and OJ due to its proximity to Japan. Easier to survive and easier to reinforce. Otherwise - pretty quite up there.

CentPac: Midway and Wake are maxed out with 20,000 men on Midway and 30,000 on Wake and max forts as well (2 and 3 respectively.) Each has a Betty or Nell group on them, but so far no US ships have made any moves towards these islands. Johnston is now Allied, and B-24s from there have been bombing Palmyra.

SoPac: If I had to guess, I'd say OSO will hit Palmyra next. I just delivered another IJN BF to the atoll, and it has quite a few CD guns on it already. The entire KB is at Kwaj and ready to attack if the odds look right. I'm inclined not to fight too hard for the Line islands, but given that I can base Bettys at both places, there may be a chance to do some damage. Both Palmyra and Christmas are sz 4 airfield and each have about 150 AV support on them. There is a big moat between Johnston/Pearl and the Line Islands, so only unescorted bombers and carrier air will be available to the US if they attack.

Solomons/NG/New Zealand: This entire corridor is very quiet. I think there are only some cruisers in Australia and since it is cut off from the US and India I don't THINK I have to worry about offensives from Australia yet. In that sense, the overall strategy is working well, since I don't need to devote tons of resources to protecting that flank. Of course, if there are British carriers down there, I think I can handle them with LBA.

DEI: Timor is all sz 4 AB's and forts are on the rise. Nearly all my bases across the DEI are well supplied (10,000 or more) and there are ASW aircraft at all entry points to the DEI. Java has a couple armor units for fast reaction to any landings. Sumatra is slowly being reinforced with LCUs. All the bases in Malaya have at least a base force, so we can base planes in lots of places if the Brits try to come down that way.

Burma: Sitting tight here. Most bases are up to size 7 or 8 forts, a couple are at size 9. Tonies and Tojos everywhere here. OSO has lightly attacked now and then, but he doesn't seem to like the losses he takes and so he doesn't press. Our fighters are in the rear bases so escorts will have to fly long range if they want to try and catch us on the ground. Several small units are along the border with India to detect any enemy ground offensives over the mountain trails. A large group of subs has been on station in the Bay of Bengal, fueling up out of Port Blair, so any large fleets that come through there should be spotted, but so far there has been nothing.

China: Nearly done here I hope. Chengtu is about to be besieged and then we'll work on getting enough into Chungking to simply isolate the city for the rest of the war. I don't think I'll be able to take the place, and if I can surround it with artillery and pound the place for the rest of the war while some of the China army transfers to the SAA, then that works for me.

Overall: The lack of activity is great for me. My pilots are not getting attritted and I'm sucking oil and resources into the HI as fast as I can. I think OSO still is waiting for more carriers and carrier fighters (and pilots) before launching any major offensives. However, activity has been slowly increasing so I think the 'easy days' of the Empire are coming to an end soon. If I can make it to the end of 1942 without any more major battles happening I'll be pretty happy.




FeurerKrieg -> November 1st, 1942 (10/22/2008 4:12:00 AM)

November 1st, 1942
Very quiet. Only recon flights and the continue grind on the pocket north of Changsha.




FeurerKrieg -> November 2nd, 1942 (10/22/2008 4:47:42 AM)

November 2nd, 1942
Not so quiet today.

First, in two waves, our air forces attacked Chungking. First 97 Lily II's and many Zeros flew from Kweiyang, and then Liz and Sally bombers followed up from Changsha.
[image]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj283/bfeurer/chungking2.jpg[/image]
Full attack on Chungking


40 B-24D Liberators from Johnston Island and 83 A-29 Hudsons from Hawaii attacked in two waves. Several of the enemy planes didn't make the long trip home. Damage to the airfields will reduce our ability to fly, but hopefully the enemy bombers will need some rest. A construction unit at Tongatapu is being picked up in a couple days and will go to Palmyra to assist with the efforts to keep the airfield operational.

Long range attack in the Pacific


Air losses for the day include:
Allies:
16 A-29 Hudsons
9 B-24D Liberators
15 P-43A Lancers
5 I-16c
3 IL-4
2 SB-2c

Japanese:
14 A6M2 Zero (12 on the ground at Palmyra)
6 Ki-43-Ib Oscars (all on ground at Palmyra)
4 A6M3 Zero
1 Ki-48-II Lily
1 Ki-21-II Sally

Port and airfield facilities were completed at Rossel Island today. We are going to build up the airbase their to provide an early warning outpost against any attacks against the Solomons area.

FeurerKrieg -> RE: November 2nd, 1942 (10/22/2008 5:23:36 AM)

More to come - lots of action on the 3rd of Nov. Will be up in a couple minutes.




FeurerKrieg -> November 3rd, 1942 (10/22/2008 5:32:04 AM)

November 3rd, 1942
Lots of action today!!

China
Expecting a counter attack at Kweiyang, we sent all the Lily's to bomb Chungking again, with a lighter escort of only one A6M2 Sentai. Meanwhile, all the fighters in the area flew CAP over Kweiyang, waiting for enemy heavy bombers. They arrived and we actually had to opportunity to inflict some noticeable losses. Even though many of the bombers still managed to hit the target, since our own bombers were gone, losses were light.
[image]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj283/bfeurer/kweiyang2.jpg[/image]
Enemy bombers receive a warmer welcome this time


We lost 2 Tojo and 2 A6M3 in the fight and 5 Lily II's were hit on the ground. The Allies lost 10 B-24D Liberators, 6 Liberator IIIs, 4 B-17D's and 2 B-17E's. It appears that all of the bombers that made it home were damaged.

In the pocket north of Changsha, the 37th Chinese Corp surrendered today and 5,000 POWs were taken. The 6th Bde should arrive at that pocket in a few days, so the rest of the Chinese troops there should surrender soon.

Burma
About 10-12 of our smallest mine layers were sent on a dangerous mission to lay mines at Akyab, under the enemy's nose. Today several 2 engined bombers attacked our small ships, sinking 6 of them. All the ships did managed to get their mines placed before they were attacked at least. The remaining ships will try to escape tomorrow.
[image]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj283/bfeurer/akyab2.jpg[/image]
Small ships are sacrificed



Pacific
As an IJN Base Force was being unloaded at Palmyra, enemy A-29 Hudsons from Hawaii attacked our ships today. Thankfully none were hit, but the escorting destroyers have been order to head to sea to the south out of range of the enemy bombers. If the AK's get hit, so be it. We can spare AK's - we cannot spare any Destroyers.

Also, I-32 was hit by a PBY between Pearl Harbor and Johnston Island. It suffered a fair amount of damage and will try to reach Kwajelein.

Indian Ocean
As hoped, our CS and CVE group intercepted an enemy convoy spotted by Glen sub a few days ago. Six AK's were spotted and all but one was hit by at least one bomb. Most of the Jakes flew attacks in both the morning and the evening. Many of the dive bombers missed, but they will have the chance to redeem themselves tomorrow. We'll move slightly south, expecting the enemy ships to flee towards Australia. They cannot move fast enough to get out of range of our Jakes which can fly nearly 500 miles and still attack.

Six ship convoy intercepted in the Indian Ocean




FeurerKrieg -> November 4th, 1942 (10/22/2008 5:47:57 AM)

November 4th, 1942
The enemy ships in the Indian Ocean spread out a bit, but we are able to take shots at all of them still. Three, AKs Orestes, Dardanus and Autolycus are pounded with 6-10 bombs each. Asphalion takes a bomb but Ulysses and Talthibus are both missed today. We will move farther south to make sure they do not escape their fate.

Near Akyab, enemy heavy bombers pounded our tiny mine layers. Some Tojo's were on hand to take some shots and then did manage to bring a couple enemy planes down. A B-24D dropped a 1000lb GP bomb on one of the small ships, instantly vaporizing it. Three more of the mine layers were lost today.

Our mine layers are attacked



In the South Pacific, Rarotonga finished its airfield today. (sz 4)





FeurerKrieg -> November 5th, 1942 (10/22/2008 5:52:53 AM)

November 5th, 1942
Our Jakes continue to hit the enemy ships in the Indian Ocean. Autolycus is reported sunk.

Otherwise it seems to be calming down again.




FeurerKrieg -> November 6th, 1942 (10/22/2008 5:59:13 AM)

November 6th, 1942
Enemy bombers returned to Palmyra today. Although we lost 7 planes on the ground, we did managed to shoot down 4 B-24D and 5 A-29. The A-29 attacked our ships unloading supplies, and 1 AP and 2 AK were hit. They will continue to unload and will leave as soon as possible.

In the IO, Talthibus took around 15 bomb hits today and will be a goner. The only two ships that could survive now are Ulysses and Asphalion, both of which have only taken one hit since the convoy was intercepted. To ensure they do not get away, and to make sure British carriers at Australia (if there) don't sneak up and hit our CS's, 3 pairs of destroyers will go hunting for the enemy AK's tomorrow while our CVE/CS groups begins to head towards Java.




FeurerKrieg -> November 7th, 1942 (10/22/2008 6:04:19 AM)

November 7th, 1942
Yugumo and Kasumi located the AK Dardanus, but before they can even fire a shot, the enemy ship slips below the waves. Our Jakes managed to put two bombs into Ulysses and Talthibius is reported sunk. Asphalion is no where to be seen so it may have managed to escape to the south. Ulysses is still in decent shape, but our destroyers will attempt to catch it before it gets out of range tomorrow. Orestes is also still afloat, but much slower, so we can go back for it if needed.
