I thought that moving more than a dozen AA units support by lots of base forces would be enough to at least not permit training runs... I was wrong after seeing how my AA units were shot up by the bombers but not vice versa... but I´m not yet done in this area and I have to live with the fact that we will provide a training target for two months or so... beware of my movements as soon as Wyndham surrenders...

Could it be that the Chinese try to kick me out of this hex to end my siege? Could mean huge trouble if they would be able to do so as then South China is all open to them. Two divisions were set to move to Kweiyang to bolster my defenses. It´s a pity I didn´t have the time and mood to take this base as it would make it impossible for the Chinese to break through here if I would have level 9 forts and the Chinese would be low on supply (which I definetely think they are).

I've finally read this thing all the way through. Congratulations on a very well-played game! I have learned a LOT just from reading this, especially regarding ground warfare and sieges - enough to take a heavily defended Noumea in my game. Thanks for the lessons! One minor question - I never have any trouble producing enough Betties to replace all Nells by early '42, yet I notice you are still using Nells into '43. Is there a reason for this decision? I never gave much thought to retaining any Nells and wonder if I'm missing something other than the one hex range advantage, which means little to me as I rarely set either aircraft to beyond 15 hex torp range.

I´ve never produced Nells and I guess there are some 60-100 left (pool and onmap together). I want to pull out the maximum out of my industry, so no reason to let the Nells rot in pool or being scrapped. I ony produced moderate numbers of Betties but have 200+ in the pool I guess. Everything focusses on the Frances at the moment, should come online in the next couple of months. This will be the only IJNAF bomber of the future together with a few daitais of Betties equipped with Ohkas.

The 100% useless nightfighters were flown out and the Tojos were replaced by Tonies and Zeroes which means that we dish out more damage today. While the enemy escorts failed to locate the target yesterday, they show up with the full number of bombers today. Even though absolutely succesful, fighting the escorts did take time and the number of enemy bombers was just too big. After fighting their way through, around 80 bombers dropped their load again and again on the airfield. [:)] Nice! But why isn´t Miller bombing my industry? [&:] If he wouldn´t have lost his Mitchells and Liberators, he could achieve something. Why? Because I was dumb enough to move out all my units that have engineers in them. Only an aviation regiment is sitting at the airfield and this could have turned out bad. If he would be able to knock out the airfield completely then he could wreck my industry because I can´t repair the airfield without engineers. My bad. But I guess Miller doesn´t know that I don´t have engineers at the base and I have already increased the number of fighters at this base. The Pe-2 are low on morale now so I guess I will keep them honest until my engineers arrive at the base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Manila , at 43,52 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 47 D3A Val x 81 A6M3a Zero x 78 B5N Kate x 82 G3M Nell x 9 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 287 Ki-61 Ic x 34 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 10 casualties reported Airbase hits 10 Airbase supply hits 6 Runway hits 297 Port hits 1 Port fuel hits 1 Port supply hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 31 x Ki-61 Ic bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Gili Gili , at 56,94 Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft PV-1 Ventura x 87 B-17E Fortress x 76 B-24D Liberator x 47 IL-4c x 9 Japanese aircraft losses E7K2 Alf: 2 destroyed Allied aircraft losses PV-1 Ventura: 1 destroyed, 24 damaged B-17E Fortress: 19 damaged B-24D Liberator: 1 destroyed, 6 damaged IL-4c: 7 damaged Japanese ground losses: 172 casualties reported Guns lost 5 Airbase hits 14 Airbase supply hits 12 Runway hits 214 [8\|] Aircraft Attacking: 6 x IL-4c bombing at 12000 feet 8 x PV-1 Ventura bombing at 12000 feet 25 x B-17E Fortress bombing at 12000 feet Miller nukes Gili Gili.

While I expected to do at least another 3 attacks, the enemy defense absolutely collapsed today and an adjusted Japanese av that nearly achieves the base av is enough to get an impressing 13:1 today. A months long siege ended with a big Japanese victory today. BANZAI! As it stands now, the operation against Northern Australia seems to have turned out as the biggest victory of the war so far and the world is impressed by another succesful combined operation of the Japanese forces. The only downside of this whole operation was the loss of nearly two dozen DDs to mines and PTs and the lucky torp hit on a heavy cruiser that blew up the cruiser´s magazine. All in all it was nevertheless absolutely worth it. We not just forced nearly 150.000 enemy troops to surrender, we also sunk two US CVs, three RN CVs, a modern US BB, three RN BBs and dozens of other ships in the range of DDs, AOs, AKs, etc. We achieved absolutely more than we could have expected. All we first wanted to do is to stop the enemy expansion out of Timor after the loss of Lautern. It was an all out attempt and while we threw in the kitchen sink, the enemy refused to do so until it was too late. IMO, there were thee big mistakes done by the Allied: a) concentrating all or most major ground forces at Broome and Derby (due to Allied intel as all my troops were planning for those bases [:D]) when I decided to land at Darwin b) not using every available bomber and fighter against my invasion of Darwin. No matter if I employed the whole IJN, with four big airbases on Northern Australia and a big base on Timor the Allied could have wrecked havoc on my ships. c) during the months long siege of Wyndham the deciding factor in the end was supply. As long as the enemy was supplied and as long as we couldn´t knock down the forts, there was no chance at all to achieve something. We could only hope to stalemate the enemy as long as possible, which would have been a success also. Then the Allied show up with all their carriers and lots of other major ships to bring in a supply convoy. No matter how many losses the Allied took in this operation, the task of the mission was to bring in supply and I guess I haven´t been able to sink a single of the supply carrying AKs. BUT and that´s a big BUT, we spotted something like only a dozen big AKs, which would make up for 66.000 supplies which is by far not enough to feed nearly 200.000 troops that are holding against ongoing attacks. And this must have been the biggest mistake that has lead to this disaster. Would Miller have used 80 AKs, then there would have been 440.000 supplies which would have been enough to hold out forever. Forever means at least long enough until I would have given up or would have been forced to give up due to enemy invasions into my territory somewhere else where I would have needed those troops that sieged Wyndham. It´s easy to speak about your opponent´s mistakes when you achieve a victory but my operation wasn´t perfect either: a) just too many DD losses... I was so pissed off by the enemy super duper mines and PTs that I just refused to accept that it´s totally off that I would lose one or two DDs to mines every time a surface or bombardment TF of mine entered one of the three enemy hexes. The enemy goes in and out of my bases without having to fear anything from 10.000+ mines. The Allied surely didn´t have more than 2000 mines at each base, yet my DDs got wrecked. I should have just stopped the bombardment tries as they didn´t achieve anything anyway. Another thing that works super well for the Allied in this campaign but nearly none at all for me. Never have seen such onesided results concerning mines and bombardments like in this game before. A smart Japanese player would have just accepted it that it´s not worth it and would have stopped them. I didn´t and suffered... b) I pulled out my tank units for the assault on Russia and opened up another huge front... too early! I could have achieved much more if my tanks would have staid at Wyndham and I shouldn´t have brought them to Russia before Wyndham fell. Then bring them to Russia and do what I´m doing there now. Would have delayed the Russian adventure by probably two or three months but would have sped up things in total. But I guess the fear of major Allied counterattacks through the Pacific was the reason why I wanted to take on the Russian asap as I could then pull out lots of divisions to garisson the continent in early 44. As it looks now, this won´t happen before mid 44 but honestly, I seriously doubt that the Allied will threat the continent before 45 anyway. After having my doubts if we would ever be able to take out Wyndham it was in the end satisfying to see the base surrendering with still so many troops left. The enemy flew out major parts of two USMC divs and at least another USARMY div. I´m sure that he also was able to pull out fragments of every unit and if he´s luckier than me then those units will rebuild. But that will take time and time is all I need. We will lose in the end, the question is only when will that be... [;)] We scored impressing 2.414 points for Allied ground losses today, now being at 25.490. BANZAI!

And here´s the screenshot of the units that finally surrendered. There were also major Allied HQs and several units more than fitted into the window of the ground combat. 1st and 2nd USMC div had only fragments surrendering so no idea how much of those units really was brought out. Miller told me he was able to bring out nearly all combat squads but not many support squads but I´m not sure if this is right or wrong intel.

I´m going in higher than the Allied do all the time but does it help me? 19 Helens lost in this attack? Why not call it the "Japanese can´t attack Allied bases mod"??? Sorry, but giving the Allied an at least ten times more effective flak is off IMO. There is no doubt that Allied flak was better, even far better, but it wasn´t that excessive. If you have 10 dozen Japanese big calibre AA guns and they do nothing against raids coming in at 10.000ft and you have two dozen Allied guns of the same calibre and get murderous flak then I wonder if the flak effect and the durability of aircraft really is right. It wasn´t just the Allied flak itself that was better, when you look at their ships, it was also and to a high degree the huge numbers of AA guns that really made a difference. But I doubt that one 20mm Oerlikon is ten times as effective as one 25mm Japanese AA gun. In Nikmod, it is... but again, what am I complaining about. I know how it is, so it´s just me being stupid to attack a base where I could expect more than one base force. And more than one base force means the Allied base is immune to Japanese air attacks...

Allied ground losses: 149908 casualties reported [X(][:D] Guns lost 334 Vehicles lost 173 BAN-f'n-ZAI!!!! Now THAT is a victory. Allied LCU, transport and capital ship losses are just horrendous for Miller. I don't see how he seriously threatens you until late '44, and even then his only option will probably be island hopping.

Ambassador -> RE: it goes on... (6/16/2009 1:45:20 PM)
I quickly went through the last few pages - I've been too busy lately to fully follow. Congratulations, Chris, this really was a large scale operation which paid back every invested penny - with a 666% interest rate ! Even if the Allies get plenty of everything, building back all those LCUs will take a long time. I wonder if many of them became ghosts.[&o] Now, it's time to finish the conquest of Australia.[:'(]

castor troy -> RE: it goes on... (6/16/2009 2:38:37 PM)
thanks guys The Allied do get plenty of everything, except ground units, better say major infantry units. IMO, there are only two ways of hurting the Allied. Sink lots of shipping or destroy lots of ground units. While we are far from sinking lots of shipping (some 600+ ships lost so far) we aren´t doing bad in destroying Western Allied ground units as we´ve destroyed several divs/bgds in India and now we did the same in Australia. Even if the divs in Australia aren´t destroyed or haven´t turned into ghosts, it will still take at least 6 months to get a div from 10% back to 100% I guess. 6 months means they won´t be ready by mid 44 and until then I will have also received the next major bunch of ground reinforcements when speaking of divs and bgds. And what we shouldn´t forget at the moment is the fact that I´m putting pressure on Miller and not the other way around. Even though he could throw those 2000 assault points he landed on Canton Island somewhere else but I don´t see that happening within the next 1,5 months as I wouldn´t use them for an atoll assault if not at least 70 prepped. Otherwise what can he do? Not much I guess as those troops that assaulted Canton Island should be it more or less. And the rest of the Allied combat units is trying to defend the area around Cairns and Townsville. I´ve got more than 4000 av at Charter Towers and have now also freed up 4000 av from Wyndham to be used somewhere so this could result in the next bloody ground battle. When there´s one thing the Japanese have during the whole war then it is ground units. They by far don´t have the firepower of Allied ground units but you have loads of them and while you need a lot of units to defend a large area, if you are on the offense and you attack one area, those high number of troops can be pretty devastating in the end. And as long as I keep up the pressure with the ground units, Miller has to more or less focus not to lose more troops in Australia than to send his inf units out to attack one of my places.

Allied LCU, transport and capital ship losses are just horrendous for Miller. I don't see how he seriously threatens you until late '44, and even then his only option will probably be island hopping. The LCU losses were in fact horrendous so far for Miller, don´t think that the capital ship losses were that bad for him though. Even though he lost four US and three RN CVs (not counting the CVEs), he surely already has or shortly will get the first US CVs back that were sunk long ago. And there surely will come new ones out of the shipyards too in the next months. I guess he already or will shortly be able to field a full CV force (with 450 carrier based ac). This means he already has offensive capability, what he needs are the ground units for it. He has lost half a dozen BBs and probably a dozen cruisers but I guess he must have something like 20 BBs and dozens of cruisers. Same goes of course also for the DDs even though we´ve sunk a lot of them. Island hopping may be an option but you should not forget that in WITP (other than AE) you can make islands or atolls more than a tough nut and if I would decide to make Marcus Island, Wake or another atoll a super fortress than there´s no possibility to overcome the defender. Same goes for the mountaineous islands, with level 9 forts, ample supply, a mountaineous hex and 2000 assault points there is no way to take the base by amphibious attacks. IMO, the only way for him isn´t island hopping, but going up the way through New Guinea as this is the place where he can hop from base to base within his massed airforce. And you can´t put 1500 av at every Japanese base on New Guinea to defend it. But it will of course be a slow and bloody way to fight your way into the SRA and I can asure you I will do my best to make it really bloody for the enemy.

Point taken. I was thinking Miller's few successes have come from his atoll assaults using the patented "search plane empowered bombardment" technique. However, when he hits an IJA division on one of those atolls it could get ugly. Still, he may think the same way I did. Perhaps a trap can be baited in the Gilberts?

However, when he hits an IJA division on one of those atolls it could get ugly. Still, he may think the same way I did. Perhaps a trap can be baited in the Gilberts? The first time that the massed Kingfishers weren´t used pre bombardment were during the attack on Canton Island. And it was obvious that the bombardments did not have such an effect as if he would have used three dozen floatplanes. But the outcome was the same. After "normal" bombardments of one and a half dozen BBs there was nothing left on the atoll. All CD units and base forces were 100% knocked out and the inf units mopped up my base in no time. I won´t really fight for anything until a line Marcus Island - Guam - Truk - Rabaul. If he comes island hopping then this will be the line I will draw and that will be strongly defended. This doesn´t mean I will just watch the Allied taking Tarawa or Kwajalein but I won´t throw in the kitchen sink like I did it at Timor for example. One IJA division would not have been enough to stop the assault on Canton Island for example as I had 400 av from inf units at the base and another 100 from base forces. The base forces were wiped out by the BBs which left 400 from the inf units but they could do nothing. So we are more or less speaking of 2 IJA divs on an atoll to really cause trouble.

With that production capacity I plan to actually build something like 200 a month.
