As this would mean we would face hundreds of top notch Allied fighter pilots that fly top notch Allied fighters. We are barely holding our own against mediocre Allied pilots in Allied fighters at the moment with elite pilots in our crappy fighters. And even if the Tony will hopefully be an improvement, it will be far from equal to Allied fighters. Not good, not good... at the moment I don´t know what to do against those training runs. And in the long run I can´t interdict them anyway as the Allied will get dozens of bases they can fly training runs to... as soon as I run out of skilled pilots, those training runs won´t be necessary anyway as I will then field 30 exp pilots in obsolete aircraft against 50 exp pilots in excellent aircraft... but I´m not telling veteran Japanese players anything new... let´s hope for the Shinden...

Stewart MSW Finch Allied ground losses: 35 casualties reported West of the Fidjis, a medium sized AK is hit by a torp, but not in sinking condition it seems. Some troops aboard though.

Chance to survive is good but floatation is at 45 after four near misses and a hit... only damaging a medium sized AK to have a sub being more or less heavily damaged isn´t worth it. Not even sinking the AK would be worth it. If the sub survives (it´s nevertheless quite a distance to the next major port) it will be out of action for at least three months with the sys damage received and the long way to Japan...

Hi What are your plans regarding Russia? What are main objectives and probable axis of attack? Are Russian troops still situated around Vladivostok or they retreated North towards Siberia? And yes .. more pics please [:D]

[8D] Seriously, I´m pretty sure that Russia will collapse in a couple of months if Miller hasn´t suddenly become an expert in WITP ground warfare. I´ve got 18.000 assault points (guess there are "only" 16.500 in Manchuko though as a couple of divs in Northern Japan are also counted for the Manchuko garrison) and one of my most important weapons will once again be the Japanese wonder weapon - my tank units... the tanks will advance into the North to Blitzkrieg there, backed up by several divisions. First target will be the area around Borzya. My main advance will happen in the South on Vladivostok and Ughlahamensk with dozens of divisions. Of course I will also take Okha (400 oil and 600 resources) and the far Eastern island base Petropavlask. The Russian are static until they are activated so they are still where they always were. As soon as I have activated them, my troops won´t move further inland and I will give Miller two weeks time to redeploy his troops. My airforce will stay active in that time though. More pics... well, there´s nothing happening... it´s just boring so the attack on Russia will bring at least some action...

Well, i'm asking you about Russia because of this: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1733319&mpage=2&key= Jumper AAR , allied player retreated with complete Red Army towards Irkutsk and that was kind of game over for Siberian campaign. I don't know is Miller skillfull enough to do it same way but nevertheless you must use your tanks to split Red Army forces into 2 or maybe 3 parts and mop them afterwards [:)]

Rainer79 -> RE: it goes on... (5/7/2009 4:51:40 PM)
Since he has two weeks to move his troops unopposed Miller should be able to avoid getting encircled around Vladivostok. I wonder if he will move in hordes of 4e bombers to do some strategic bombing while he still has excellent airfields near Japan.

And I wouldn´t call it a good idea for the Allied anyway. Losing all of Russia and sitting at Irkutsk, is that a good strategy? I would just place 5000 av there and would have knocked out the Russian forever... Retreating everything to Iskutsk without a fight is not really what I would call skillful...[:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: Rainer79 Since he has two weeks to move his troops unopposed Miller should be able to avoid getting encircled around Vladivostok. I wonder if he will move in hordes of 4e bombers to do some strategic bombing while he still has excellent airfields near Japan. that could be an option for him for a couple of days perhaps but he would lose ALL of his 4Es that he moved in. I´ve moved hundreds of medium bombers to Manchuko and they should be able to take care of the enemy airfields. Like I´ve done in the past in this campaign (and like I´m trying to do in all of my PBEMs) I´m really focussing my assets in one place to knock out the enemy as fast as possible and this usually works quite fast. Japan has no chance if it has to fight the Allied simualtenously on the whole map, but if focussing on one area it usually can overwhelm the Allied. This has worked in the SRA, it has worked in the Pacific, it has then worked in India, it worked in China, then it has worked in Northern Australia (which was totally an all out operation) and I guess it will also work in Russia. And that´s exactly why it is so important for the Allied to keep up the pressure everywhere, just right from the beginning on IMO. I estimate the total number of 4Es on the map around 350-400. This includes some 100 British Liberators that have "limited" range compared to the US versions. I have dispersed my AA units in Japan where I want them to have so if he really attacks important targets then a lot of his bombers will be damaged and then destroyed on the ground. And if he damages some of my industry then I still expect to get more from the Russians than I will lose in Japan from a limited, not ongoing Allied bomber offensive. Moving 4Es to Russia isn´t really an option IMO, it would hurt him just too much to lose 200-300 of them when he gets "only" 70-90 a month in total (while 30 are British). And you should not forget that the Russian are not swimming in air support, in fact aviation support troops are limited, at least that is my experience from playing the Allied. The only question will be if the Russian fighter squadrons will be able to defend their airfields. If not, then I can knock out every airfield with medium bomber strikes of 300-400 bombers a day. Even if I don´t have 4Es available, 400 Helen at normal range can do quite some damage, even if going in at 16.000ft to avoid total slaughter by flak. IMO, the Russian fighter force will be one of the most important things. I´m sure that we have an edge in experience (probably 20 points on average, with the enemy being at 60 and us being at 80) but like I´ve mentioned earlier, the enemy fighters are more than competitive. The only disadvantage they have (for point defense) is the fact that their armament totally sucks. Gun values of 4 or 5 aren´t impressing at all and they will surely have problems taking down my fighters and bombers if they get the chance to do so. For the offense, there are some bomber squadrons around, but their range is also limited, the fighter range even more so. The IL-2s are also totally useless for example, could only be used for short range attacks... I first wanted to wait for the Tony to be employed in huge numbers to make sure we wreck havoc on the Russian fighter force but have decided that this will be too far in the future (Tony still being at 9/43 with 517 R&D at the moment). If the Tojos take too many casualties, then I will have to move in 200 Zeros to back them up. With the defeat of the RN and USN near Darwin I´m not afraid of a big Allied counteroffensive somewhere in the Pacific, so I surely have the time I need in Russia. As soon as I have knocked out their airforce, I could move out hundreds of aircraft again anyway. For the moment, I guess 250 Betties/Nells can keep the Pacific safe with 300 Zeros as escorts. Not to forget that I have KB upgraded and ready to go, so what else than a very limited attack (for example against Canton Island) can he do? IMO nothing, an attack against Baker for example would look like a suicide attempt. Considering the fact that it is mid May 1943 already, we´re in an excellent strategic situation... [8D]

The airwar over Russia has begun. We launch a huge strike, coming in combined from two of my major airbases in the region. I hoped to see both bases launch as we need a big number of escorts. One base alone could not have provided the escorts we wanted to have in this initial strike. In the beginning I was shocked as during the bounce the enemy Lagg-3 took down 7 of the Tojos for no loss. Thank god there´s not the total radar coverage like over Western Allied bases and the bounce ended sooner than later, enabling our escorts to really take a toll on the enemy fighters on Cap. What really was amazing was the fact that the enemy was quite low on morale because after two dozen figthers were shot down by our escorts, most of the enemy fighters turned back. Then the bombers smashed the airfield... I consider the Migg, the Yak-1 and the Lagg-3 as the main threat for our airforce and therefore I´m happy to see nearly 90 of those first line fighters being destroyed today. As we have spotted a lot of obsolete I-16 and I-24 also, this means the Russian are still low on Miggs, Yaks and Laggs and as soon as we have destroyed or seriously reduced the squadrons with first line fighters we have total air superiority in the region around Vladivostok... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Vladivostok , at 65,33 Japanese aircraft Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 60 Ki-49 Helen x 174 Allied aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses Ki-49 Helen: 33 damaged Allied aircraft losses Yak-1: 4 destroyed Pe-2: 1 destroyed LaGG-3: 1 destroyed Allied ground losses: 17 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Airbase hits 13 Airbase supply hits 3 Runway hits 154 Aircraft Attacking: 15 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 11000 feet all bomber strikes focussed on Vladivostok today, nearly 600 IJAAF medium bombers dropped their load over this base. 600 IJAAF bombers is the max I can field, guess I have some additional 200 spread over the rest of the map doing nav search or are reserves in important areas. If my bomber force isn´t hit hard due to running unescorted into enemy fighters I think those numbers are sufficient...

Without help from the American, the Russian Airforce won´t have a chance... 200 Corsairs could change this immediately though, therefore Petropavlosk is muchas importante... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 129th IJN Base Force, at 72,107 Allied aircraft Blenheim IV x 38 Hudson I x 7 PV-1 Ventura x 45 B-25C Mitchell x 24 B-25J Mitchell x 27 Allied aircraft losses B-25C Mitchell: 2 damaged B-25J Mitchell: 1 damaged Japanese ground losses: 126 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Aircraft Attacking: 6 x Blenheim IV bombing at 15000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 133rd IJN Base Force, at 72,107 Allied aircraft Blenheim IV x 15 PV-1 Ventura x 3 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 25 casualties reported Aircraft Attacking: 3 x Blenheim IV bombing at 15000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Lifou at 70,111 Japanese aircraft G3M Nell x 8 G4M1 Betty x 37 Japanese aircraft losses G4M1 Betty: 1 damaged Allied Ships AK Governor Wright AK Palawan SC SC-700 AK Chicot AK Kalgan AK Joan Moller, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Gran, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Blount, Torpedo hits 1, on fire AK Coast Trader AK Hinsang, Torpedo hits 1, on fire AK Soochow, Torpedo hits 1, on fire AK Lipscomb Lykes, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage Allied ground losses: 245 casualties reported Aircraft Attacking: 4 x G3M Nell launching torpedoes at 200 feet 2 x G4M1 Betty launching torpedoes at 200 feet Out of over 100 IJN bombers at Lunga 45 launch to attack this big TF with some two dozen spotted ships. Guess this attack has sunk 3 AKs... glad my bombers don´t attack the spotted TF at Efate that is sitting under two dozen of enemy fighters on Cap. It´s a gamble to keep my bombers on nav attack 15 hexes as they could also attack a Capped target and sinking a couple of small AKs isn´t worth losing my high exp bomber pilots... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Lifou at 70,111 Japanese Ships SS I-26 Allied Ships AK Azimech, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AK Jalatarang AK Clevedon AK Matar AK Adelong SC SC-981 SC SC-700 SC SC-522 Allied ground losses: 46 casualties reported another small AK is hit... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Lifou at 70,111 Japanese Ships SS I-26, hits 3, heavy damage Allied Ships AK Elcano SC SC-981 SC SC-700 SC SC-522 I-26 is hit again, chance to make port aren´t good anymore... a couple of subchasers is more dangerous than three dozen high experienced IJN DDs... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Karachi Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 90786 troops, 997 guns, 15 vehicles, Assault Value = 1901 Defending force 171696 troops, 996 guns, 164 vehicles, Assault Value = 2792 Allied ground losses: 11 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 63,33 Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 328149 troops, 3528 guns, 80 vehicles, Assault Value = 6079 Defending force 4835 troops, 27 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 84 Japanese max assault: 7902 - adjusted assault: 16178 Allied max defense: 60 - adjusted defense: 3 Japanese assault odds: 5392 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 304 casualties reported Guns lost 12 Allied ground losses: 1211 casualties reported Guns lost 17 won´t move further inland during the next two weeks but will destroy the destroy the static fort just across the Russian border... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 15815 troops, 181 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1869 Defending force 272256 troops, 1316 guns, 6 vehicles, Assault Value = 6359 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Tamsag Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 4860 troops, 40 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 101 Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 0 Japanese max assault: 101 - adjusted assault: 103 Allied max defense: 0 - adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 103 to 1 (fort level 4) Japanese forces CAPTURE Tamsag base !!! a base further North, just across the border... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kweiyang Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 22603 troops, 267 guns, 7 vehicles, Assault Value = 2495 Defending force 171187 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 4942 Allied ground losses: 11 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Wyndham Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 8385 troops, 287 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 5027 Defending force 156691 troops, 1148 guns, 424 vehicles, Assault Value = 3152 Allied ground losses: 46 casualties reported Guns lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Karachi Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 103756 troops, 882 guns, 12 vehicles, Assault Value = 2792 Defending force 93763 troops, 1092 guns, 15 vehicles, Assault Value = 1901 Japanese ground losses: 257 casualties reported Guns lost 16 Allied ground losses: 18 casualties reported Guns lost 2

They must have come from Uglahamensk as they are really short legged and can´t reach Vladivostok from any other base. Ughlahamensk (level 4 af) itself was uncapped though and one strike hits the base quite hard. Not enough hits on the runway to close it but 31 hits on the base facilities should make maintaining enemy aircraft here quite hard. Only one enemy unit is spotted here, so I´m sure repairing the damage will take quite long... [:D] And we destroyed over 4 dozen of Lagg-3s again... [&o] Only one out of three bases launched a strike due to bad weather today...

Guess we can afford this, will ship in supplies from India and from the SRA. The home islands are quite low on supplies. After we have conquered the major ressource and HI sites in Russia (hopefully not totally damaged) we should produce more than enough supplies. I´ve never experienced supply and fuel shortages in any of my Japanese PBEMs but in this one, supply and especially fuel is really low, due to my continuing major operations and the fact that lift capacity of merchants was nearly reduced, which means that it takes twice the fuel to haul things around... No matter where the fleet is heading too, I´ve always having trouble to have enough fuel on hand... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Karachi Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 103775 troops, 882 guns, 12 vehicles, Assault Value = 2792 Defending force 93428 troops, 1073 guns, 15 vehicles, Assault Value = 1897 Japanese ground losses: 159 casualties reported Guns lost 17 Allied ground losses: 8 casualties reported Guns lost 1

Looks like he didn´t notice it though and in fact he was quite lucky as most of the strike failed to locate the target.

Recon tells me that over a dozen units moved to Uglhahamensk last turn. Boy, could that mean he´s retreating North with everything he has? In every case it looks like he gives Vladivostok up. Where will he hold then? Please tell me it´s not like people posted here that it´s a possible run for Irkutsk... [X(] Well, in every case, Miller has 1,5 weeks left to redeploy his troops, then I will give order to my troops to march. Every base he wants to give up is a present for me, no matter if he will end up with all his troops in one base, no matter what base. I can leave 10.000 assault points behind in Russia and those can block every Russian Army, no matter how many reinforcements there will be.

After getting this turns recon I´m 100% sure that Miller won´t defend Vladivostok and Uglahamensk as we´ve spotted one and a half dozen units moving North.

This engagement once again shows how "bad" the Tojo is as a dogfighter. Not because it still achieves a 3:1 kill rate but because equally skilled Oscars took down something like 15 enemy fighters for no loss. While speed seems to be one of the major factors for A2A in WITP, if you have a totally crappy man rating you get a totally crappy dogfighter. While the Oscar II is far slower than the Tojo, it is far more agile and this proves to be an important factor. The Russian fighters nearly didn´t get a shot at the Oscars.

The enemy escorts turned around quite quickly, the flying tanks were higher in morale and two dozen of them pressed through their attack that succesfully torched half a dozen Tojos on the ground. As expected, those IL-2 are really hard to down, nevertheless our fighters take a toll on them and I´m sure their morale is wrecked now and further opposed attacks will probably turn back... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Harbin , at 65,27 [X(] Allied aircraft P-40N Warhawk x 35 [X(][X(] B-25J Mitchell x 19 [X(][X(] Pe-2 x 40 Allied aircraft losses Pe-2: 6 damaged Resources hits 11 Aircraft Attacking: 12 x Pe-2 bombing at 6000 feet 10 x B-25J Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet now that was a real surprise!!!! During the replay I was only surprised because the P-40N and the Mitchells are CHINESE squadrons! After the replay I was again surprised because I then realized that the enemy bombed my resource centers and not the airfield. This means that this was the first Russian attack against my positions that was really worth it as it´s the first time that they achieved some damage. 30 resource points were destroyed today. That´s no biggy but it has alerted me and I am now in the process of transferring more fighter squadrons into the region to guard my important bases. Losing a couple of dozen resources means NOTHING. And that´s the point where I´m wondering why Miller is attacking resources at Harbin and NOT the oil centers, which would hurt me. Thank you Paul! [;)] I expect to conquer more than 1000 resource centers in Russia and hundreds of HI centers (if I don´t get totally sh*tty die rolls) so if I lose a hundred resource points due to Russian attacks then this doesn´t really scare me. I will have decent fighter cover over my oil centers and am also working on bringing fighters in position over my less important resource and HI sites that are in range of Allied bombers out of Russia. The transfer of Chinese bombers to Russia has increased the effective range for Allied bombers from 5 (Pe-2) to 8 (B-25J). The two big airfields in the South are abandoned but there are a couple of smaller airfields further North from Vladivostok, the biggest being a level 5 airfield. In the "long run" we will focus more on defending our important bases than to try to knock out the enemy airfields. The enemy is so low on morale already that they will mostly turn back anyway if they meet our fighters. If the enemy keeps running North, then he will abandon his airfields in the central region anyway and from his Northern bases, he can´t reach my important bases anyway (only with 4Es and I haven´t spotted any of them so far).

Next turn sees Cap here, wonder if Miller dares to attack three times in a row. I´ve mentioned that I don´t get why he´s bombing that what I´ve got more than enough of and not attacking oil sites. Thanks again!

While the Allied flak is super duper deadly as it always was in Nikmod (enough to make bases immune to airattacks, without having a single fighter there), the Japanese flak is in total LESS effective than in stock. Why? Because Allied bombers are so highly durable that the increase of flak effects seems to not even nearly compensate that. Allied bombers are more dangerous to Japanese flak than vice versa. There are three totally undamaged and fully supplied base forces at Port Moresby and we damage 2 (in words: T W O) enemy bombers going in at 12.000ft, which I would consider quite low. Ridicoulos. 3 bombers are lost to ops at least. Hey, three bombers lost to ops is a success... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luganville , at 72,107 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 38 F4F-4 Wildcat x 38 Barracuda x 37 Avenger I x 21 PBY Catalina x 4 Beaufighter VIF x 20 P-36A Mohawk x 27 P-39D Airacobra x 45 Allied aircraft losses P-39D Airacobra: 1 damaged Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 40 Port fuel hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 6 x Barracuda bombing at 16600 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luganville , at 72,107 Allied aircraft PV-1 Ventura x 80 B-25J Mitchell x 43 B-26B Marauder x 57 No Allied losses Airbase hits 8 Airbase supply hits 4 Runway hits 224 Aircraft Attacking: 3 x PV-1 Ventura bombing at 10000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Wallis Island , at 93,107 Allied aircraft TBF Avenger x 52 Allied aircraft losses TBF Avenger: 1 damaged Japanese ground losses: 29 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Runway hits 36 Aircraft Attacking: 39 x TBF Avenger bombing at 22400 feet flying 5 hexes a day (max range) doesn´t mean they would suffer... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Khabarovsk , at 70,27 Japanese aircraft Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 93 Allied aircraft MiG-3 x 15 Yak-1 x 8 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-44-IIb Tojo: 5 damaged Allied aircraft losses MiG-3: 2 destroyed, 6 damaged Yak-1: 5 destroyed sweep before my bombers are coming in... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Khabarovsk , at 70,27 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-IIa Oscar x 60 Ki-49 Helen x 340 Allied aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses Ki-49 Helen: 7 destroyed, 51 damaged [8\|][8\|] Allied aircraft losses P-40N Warhawk: 4 destroyed Pe-2: 2 destroyed MiG-3: 15 destroyed B-25J Mitchell: 2 destroyed Yak-1: 2 destroyed Allied ground losses: 119 casualties reported Guns lost 7 Vehicles lost 1 Airbase hits 26 Airbase supply hits 7 Runway hits 159 Aircraft Attacking: 15 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 16000 feet and that´s the performance of Allied flak... Going in at 16.000ft and our strike is hit hard. While we do nice damage on the ground (not devastating though as the enemy flew to attack Harbin - where this strike is coming from) the damage from flak fire is insane and something we can´t sustain... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Khabarovsk , at 70,27 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 27 A6M3a Zero x 54 Ki-43-IIa Oscar x 26 Ki-49 Helen x 149 Allied aircraft Yak-1 x 2 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-49 Helen: 6 destroyed, 29 damaged Allied aircraft losses Yak-1: 1 damaged P-40N Warhawk: 3 destroyed Pe-2: 3 destroyed B-25J Mitchell: 1 destroyed MiG-3: 1 destroyed Airbase hits 3 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 22 Aircraft Attacking: 26 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 16000 feet have set this strike to attack in the afternoon and due to going in at extended range we achieve a totally crappy hit rate, while flak is again murderous... No there are not a dozen AA units here, in total we´ve spotted 7 units, but surely not all base forces... damn flak, really make Allied bases immune, as attacking them is just stupid if you decide to do that... 26 Helen lost today [sm=Christo_pull_hair.gif], 24 crews dead...

[8\|] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, at least you know not to do that again. [;)] I will have to do it again though. Even if the chances to take out this base are very small, there is a chance to do it. But it´s about the same thing as it was before the (succesful) Allied resupply attempt: supply. If they run out of it, the base will fall. If not, well... The good thing is that I have A LOT of divisions available. A new one has just arrived in Japan and will be shipped to Darwin also. And as long as Miller can´t do a big style offensive as long can I try to take Wyndham. If he loses all those troops here, I don´t know what divisions should mount an ongoing offensive in early 44. But to be honest, looking at those adjusted av still makes me thinking about a joke. His troops are fully prepped and fully supplied, sitting behind level 9 forts. My troops are fully supplied, fully prepped, even in range of the Southern Area Army and still get an adjusted av that is just ridicoulos. As ridicoulos as the Allied adjusted av, that nearly was multiplied by four... [8\|]
