ok, I know ya'll are tired of reading this... but...... another turn, another AP - a big one took a torp and 5 shell hits. Plus another AP hit a mine. Several of my subs now have minor sys damage from surface fights with his AP's, so there will be a brief break in the sub war I think. I am going to miss it, this was several turns in a row I managed to hit something over there.

Before Ralf threw in the towel, we had quite a little fight going on over Nevea. I kicked him off of both it and Wunpuko so he came back for another round at Nevea. He had the sea and air lanes pretty well covered and was flying LRCAP over Nevea from Irau and Lunga. I repeatedly flew C47s and even Catalinas into Nevea in the teeth of the LRCAP losing on average 4-6 transports per day. In spite of the losses (the C47 pool was huge) I succeeded in getting enough of them through carrying both men and supplies that he was never able to get the upper hand on the island. The Allies can sustain those C47 losses pretty well if the need is great enough to warrant risking them.

I'm currently playing my first PBEM game as the Japanese against Borner with the same strategy. I'm just not as skilled at it as you are. I was just pointing out that if the Allies are willing to sustain some losses in transport aircraft they can get enough through to make a difference in an operation. Allied players shouldn't necessarily avoid the tactic if the gains justify it.

trying to maintain a cap over the base will cost IKE more planes than he wants to loose. He always likes to keep his good pilots for the big battle in the second half of the game. He did send a bombardment group in this turn, but I think that was to see if he could catch any ships at the base

I'm impressed with how low the OPs losses are for both sides. My game with Todd is in mid Septermber '42 and I have over 500 Ops losses while Todd has over 800.

Miller -> RE: Nevea (11/5/2008 6:54:44 PM)
In the only game I have played through to the end of 43 I lost 3500 a/c to ops losses (playing as the IJN). Just flying to and from a target is a challenge for late war Jap pilots[:(]

Kingfisher -> RE: Nevea (11/5/2008 7:54:29 PM)
You guys must really be pulling your punches if the combined A/C loss is less than 500 in six months of combat.

I rotate every squadron in the combat area to the rest area, back and forth to keep them combat effective. quote: In the only game I have played through to the end of 43 I lost 3500 a/c to ops losses (playing as the IJN). This is 17 at 100%, I cannot afford 3,500 OPS losses. quote: You guys must really be pulling your punches if the combined A/C loss is less than 500 in six months of combat. This is our third game against each other. We are both looking for effective punches, not simply the number of punches.

borner -> RE: Nevea (11/7/2008 2:30:58 AM)
I am really not in a position to use my airpower effectively, so I am trying too am trying to save up a couple months extra replacements. We are probably looking at a pretty calm few weeks as my subs need some time in dock.

I36 scores a victory against a supply convoy to Nevea. [image]local://upfiles/19240/752A250531724C0C8CF2978A679DF2B1.jpg[/image]

Ike99 -> Torpedo Junction (11/8/2008 5:58:03 PM)
The water around Nevea is being called ¨Torpedo Junction¨ among Allied sailors. That´s 2 sunk in 2 days tough man. [:D] [image]local://upfiles/19240/2CFE185FE0AE47DF9BDC0B9434840D62.jpg[/image]

borner -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/8/2008 9:55:58 PM)
nice last picture of that crew... I165 takes 5 air hits and sinks

Ike99 -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/13/2008 3:29:39 PM)
10-17-42 Five weeks after landing at Nevea, Hudsons launch the first air attack from that base against Japanese shipping. Destroyers, no hits are scored. Three Hudsons are lost. [image]local://upfiles/19240/F21EFF8BB15A4FB8945707D77167E002.jpg[/image]

IKe counters by sending waves of Bettys in for a night attack on the new airstrip last turn. 16 precious Bettys were lost in the effort.

bigbaba -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/14/2008 12:50:17 PM)
the OP lose-rate of bettys, nells, mavis and emilys crafts is totaly crazy in UV.

oh, terribly. please don't try it again!!! [&o] Oh wait, you were asking it it hurt me? Sorry.

I´m laughing at your bombers. [image]local://upfiles/19240/FE827E9014794B23B7BF3BD77BE8CA7B.jpg[/image]

borner -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/18/2008 2:56:07 AM)
really? They were flying so high I did not hear anything. Just getting them some experience and seeing of you had anything based there. Also, after a few weeks of well deserved rest, my subs returned to the hunt. MSW Wa1 sunk this turn.

borner -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/23/2008 7:43:17 PM)
it is now 11-4-42. We are moaking pretty good progress. After a couple of slow weeks, my subs finally found and badly hit an APD.

marioa -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/24/2008 8:43:34 AM)
Ike please what Art Graphic Mod are you using to represent the clouds in your AAR? Thanks in advance marioa

borner -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/25/2008 3:06:56 AM)
two turns later - two ap's gone today. I am sure no worry to IKE. He considers AP's expendable

borner -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/26/2008 3:17:29 AM)
not as good this time, exchanged gunfire with an AP, and put two torps into an TK this turn

borner -> RE: Torpedo Junction (11/30/2008 4:38:49 AM)
Fairly quiet week. My subs seemed to prefer to attack on the surface, and 3 have paid the price. they also seem to be good at hitting, but not sinking, a good percentage of what they shoot at. Still, a good number of IKE's ships are out of service, and one of his damaged ML's from early on was not as lucky this time, and was sunk. 3 small ML's gone. I figure many of those i hit early in the game should be coming back online now, but it should be several hundred mines less than what IKE is used to.

Ike99 -> Oscar vs Lightning (11/30/2008 9:56:42 PM)
Who said the Oscar was not a good fighter? [:'(] Air attack on Tulagi , at 38,39 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 20 Allied aircraft Hudson x 26 P-38G Lightning x 18 B-25D Mitchell x 28 B-26B Marauder x 37 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses P-38G Lightning x 1 destroyed P-38G Lightning x 2 damaged B-26B Marauder x 5 damaged

11-24-42 A mass bomber raid on Rabaul port causes minor damage to 12 ships. One submarine heavily damaged. I like these raids. 11 heavy bombers were destroyed. Not so many of these raids and his heavy bombers will be gone. [image]local://upfiles/19240/4601F5992EA3416B9F75FEC47AA00A0A.jpg[/image]
