bigbaba has one week off, so hopefully we get some more turns done daily, otherwise there´s not much sense going on with this campaign as it´s horrible boring at the moment. And I can´t see why this should dramatically change soon as the enemy hasn´t really a competitive CV force at the moment. At least that´s what I guess. I think if the Allied put every flight deck together (CV, CVL and CVE) they could perhaps field something like 500 ac. But the high exp crews went down with all the CVs around the Gilberts so at the moment I´m definetely of the oppinion that KB is absolutely superior to everything the Allied could send in as I´ve brought up KB´s airwings up to strenght again, disbanding lots of high experienced daitais into it.

I´m not pissed because of losing (in this small area), I´m pissed as there´s just no reason for it. This is the most funny ground combat I´ve seen so far in my thousands of PBEM turns. I´ve got 3000 av sitting in a wooden hex, they are fully prepped and also have built a fort. So what does the enemy have? On the paper, he has over 300.000 troops. On the paper he has over 600 guns. But they are also completely out of supply as they´ve been starving not just for months, but for over a year already and their av has been constantly going down which is a clear evidence that those troops were 100% out of supply. But put everything together and WE get a halfed adjusted av for a reason only god knows. Sorry, only the developers know. Wooden hex gives you a 2x positive multiplier alone but we get our av halfed. Just laughable. So what´s the situation now? I complained last turn it´s just boring. This has changed slightly. We lost 20% of our troops and their morale is now below 20... lol. Where can the enemy´s morale be after being starved for a year? Bigbaba either would have to be a ground combat genius or needs another couple of such lotto jackpots like he had this turn, otherwise he will achieve... nothing... he can now move either to Changsha (and get stucked) or move to Canton (and get stucked). What will we do? We will finish off the Russian and then we will move those troops to China to finish off the Chinese ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Still lurking here Chris. Bigbaba is flogging a dead horse. I put it on the critical list and he finished it off when he lost the rest of the Allied CV fleet around Makin. Time to move onto AE (once they sort the air model out)[;)]

Time to move onto AE (once they sort the air model out)[;)] at least a couple of people are still reading. I´m not sure I even should continue the AAR because most people are over at the AE forum anyway. I wanted (and to some extend still want) to get the game into the last years of the war. Don´t know if that´s possible, at least with the strange outcome of the out of supply and starving Chinese offensive there is some challenge again. I´m closely following the AE posts, especially the combat reports and I have to say while I surely will be a fan of all the new options, I´m not convinced about the naval warfare at the moment. Same goes for the air combat. So it´s like I´ve always said, I need at least two patches to really start to get into AE, not to talk about starting a PBEM. And I haven´t even downloaded it yet. I will do that within the sale but probably won´t have a look at it as long as this PBEM is still going.

rominet -> RE: it goes on... (8/1/2009 10:13:13 AM)
I am following your AAR, especially for your comments on combat report and stupid things which occur. As a modder of WitP, i am always interested by all the small or big things in WitP which are incomprehensible. And your last ground combat at Kweiyang is a good example if i can say that. About AE, i didn't make any test concerning naval combat but about the air model combat above CV, the least i can say (after some tests published here) is that i am not convinced. This could kill the new game, to my point of wiew.

terje439 -> RE: it goes on... (8/1/2009 11:38:13 AM)
I'm still around too, come here to read your and CFs AARs and updating my own. About AE, I kinda like the changes, but still alot of stuff I do not know how to handle. Love the fact that you will not get all your planes at CAP at all times (last turn I had 36-19-14-4-1 P-40s ready over Manilla as the AI started to come in in waves). About naval combat, the only thing I've seen is my PTs vs Jap AI invasion force off PHI. The Jap had only a PB protecting its 15 or so transports. 8 transports lost to 2 PTs, both PTs sunk by the PB. But now I need to sail my PTs to Soerebaja and then to Singers to reload torps. Manilla's port is only lvl 5 and I lack some 60 pts of naval support. Terje

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 11/30/43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Pamakasan , at 24,66 Japanese aircraft D3A Val x 27 A6M3a Zero x 12 B5N Kate x 54 Ki-61 Ic x 70 No Japanese losses Airbase hits 2 Airbase supply hits 3 Runway hits 40 Aircraft Attacking: 32 x Ki-61 Ic bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Manila , at 43,52 Japanese aircraft A6M5 Zeke x 243 D3A Val x 73 A6M5c Zeke x 44 A6M3a Zero x 60 B5N Kate x 75 Ki-43-IIa Oscar x 34 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 12 Ki-61 Ic x 68 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 27 casualties reported Airbase hits 7 Airbase supply hits 9 Runway hits 112 Port hits 1 Port fuel hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 10 x Ki-44-IIb Tojo bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Paramushiro Jima , at 82,34 Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft LB-30 Liberator x 40 PB4Y Liberator x 12 Japanese aircraft losses E13A1 Jake: 1 destroyed Ki-46-III Dinah: 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses LB-30 Liberator: 7 damaged PB4Y Liberator: 4 damaged Japanese ground losses: 19 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Airbase hits 6 Airbase supply hits 2 Runway hits 14 Aircraft Attacking: 24 x LB-30 Liberator bombing at 15000 feet lots of flak but no kills, the heavies don´t take losses flying in winter storms due to their very high durability in Nikmod. Knowing from my own experience, I tried to do a major air offensive out of the Aleutans in stock as the Allied and my bombers dropped out of the air in the dozens due to bad weather. But the durability of Allied bombers is far lower in stock so the Allied aren´t effected by weather in Nikmod at all. Only effect would be a cloud above their base which would prevent them from flying. Excellent weather or thunderstorm or blizzard, it is not reflected at all. While durability of Japanese aircraft is also higher in Nikmod compared to stock, it´s still low enough that you see massive op losses if you have your bombers in the air during bad weather. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Luganville , at 72,107 Allied aircraft TBM Avenger x 19 Avenger II x 7 B-25J Mitchell x 39 No Allied losses Airbase hits 3 Runway hits 27 Aircraft Attacking: 7 x Avenger II bombing at 6000 feet some British torp bombers flying training runs... wasn´t able to identify the squadron, no idea if it´s land based or carrier based.

You may know that big inf units can build forts to level 1 (quite quickly) and to level 2 (if you´re lucky) when being in a hex outside of a friendly base. Well, small inf units or base force can build forts even to level 9 outside of a base hex. In this case, all my inf units had level 1 and 2 when they were forced to retreat yesterday and this base force had level 7 when it was forced to retreat today. So my inf units had some foxholes while the base force had concrete bunkers. One of the strange things in WITP... after sitting here for a year my inf units should have something like forts level 5 as they could dig a position that would be very hard to overcome. Not a Maginot line but at least something that is better than just a couple of foxholes... oh well... we were forced to retreat by an enemy that doesn´t even have enough food to feed his Army, no supply for heavy weapons of which he nearly has none at all. We had hundreds of heavy guns and the out of supply troops just kicked our backside. Still no explanation for it but WITP ground combat can´t be explained anyway. In two or three turns we will see where the Chinese land death star will head to. Even out of supply with probably mostly only inf squads the multipliers in WITP are so wrong that this Army still gets adjusted avs in the thousands. Even though this "Army" would be 100% combat ineffective in real life. Just like a 300.000 POW camp that has no food or supply which is guarded by 7 fully supplied IJA divisions with heavy weapons. But the prisoners kicked the IJA´s arse...

[sm=00000613.gif] Greetings, Max glad to have you onboard, it´s good to know there are still some readers. Otherwise it wouldn´t make much sense to do an AAR anyway. Unfortunately the AAR is far from how interesting it should be, there has just not been enough action since the last defeat of the Allies near the Gilberts. We´ve got half a month done this weekend and should get some more turns done until mid this week, then it will slow down a bit as I´m moving house but should get turns out by early next week again.

We had over 12.000 assault points, they were fully prepped, we had 1000 COMBAT engineers, the troops were fully supplied, it´s a clear hex and 2.500 defending Russian av was able to inflict over 100.000 casualties, 100% disable all 1000 combat engineers within two attacks and make the assault a failure. That´s ground combat in WITP. Not to forget is the fact that our troops mostly were of 99 experience while the Russian troops saw nearly no combat before... on the other side, completely out of supply Chinese without heavy weapons kicked out our high exp and fully prepped divisions worth 3000 av from a wooden hex which should give us 6000 adjusted av just with this multiplier. It´s like I said, at this stage of the game it just seems like there´s a hardcoded negative multiplier for the Japanese in ground combat as it seems they just have to lose. I wouldn´t wonder if the 2000 remaining Russian av would kick us out from Ulan Ude as this is where we will retreat now. Due to 4 failed attacks on Irkutsk (again: there were 2.500 defending av) we have halfed our assault value. From 12.000 to 6.000.

It´s not just 100% destroyed, it´s destroyed destroyed, so completely destroyed... ehm, destroyed... I´ve got something like 800 engineers at this base and when I look at the base, the airfield is still 100% destroyed. During a turn, first the attack, at the end the repairs. If 800 eng can´t repair a single percent then this means the airfield was something like 150% destroyed... just crazy. And usually only hits the Japanese as the Allied most often have so many eng vehicles that it doesn´t matter if the airfield is 100%, 150% or even 200% damaged. It´s repaired within no time. Same as the fact that those eng vehicles can build a maginot line while being assaulted by 500.000 enemies within 3 days.

This was confirmed by the DinahIII that are daily reconning Karachi´s port. First I had no doubt that this convoy will head towards Australia but soon I had to find out that this TF was heading towards Ceylon. So what the heck is my opponent thinking? To some point I can understand a lot, but in this game we have left this point of understanding far behind us... This TF is reported as mainly consisting of AKs, there are also DDs and obviously also CA Sussex. But there´s only one CVE loaded up with some Corsairs and that´s all this TF can field regarding Cap. Ceylon is within strike range of several of my bases and I can move in a hundred bombers and fighters within no time. Would I really have believed that this TF was heading towards Ceylon (and it took me long to believe that such a move could come to the Allied commander´s mind) I would have had far more bombers and fighters ready. The Helens performed exellently in this attack, putting at least a dozen bombs into Battler before the first torp has hit it´s target. Needless to say that the CVE was finished off and sank during this attack before all bombers finished their attack runs. The rest of the convoy is unharmed but Bigbaba loses another CVE for... nothing... and I don´t get it... I just don´t get the moves of my enemy... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Blagoveshchensk Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 48254 troops, 481 guns, 2 vehicles, Assault Value = 1500 Defending force 82318 troops, 843 guns, 261 vehicles, Assault Value = 1601 Allied ground losses: 26 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Cairns Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 160288 troops, 1829 guns, 19 vehicles, Assault Value = 3341 Defending force 70572 troops, 520 guns, 51 vehicles, Assault Value = 1116 Allied ground losses: 40 casualties reported Guns lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Townsville Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 7684 troops, 248 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 5720 Defending force 136369 troops, 1154 guns, 550 vehicles, Assault Value = 2291 Allied ground losses: 165 casualties reported Guns lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 21412 troops, 225 guns, 14 vehicles, Assault Value = 1340 Defending force 126974 troops, 217 guns, 12 vehicles, Assault Value = 2405 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Blagoveshchensk Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 65096 troops, 747 guns, 261 vehicles, Assault Value = 1601 Defending force 73624 troops, 734 guns, 7 vehicles, Assault Value = 1500 Japanese ground losses: 74 casualties reported Guns lost 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Iman Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 3921 troops, 33 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 567 Defending force 20765 troops, 209 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 433 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Chungking Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 17574 troops, 169 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 2405 Defending force 67949 troops, 652 guns, 14 vehicles, Assault Value = 1340 Japanese ground losses: 23 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Karachi Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 113045 troops, 940 guns, 16 vehicles, Assault Value = 3396 Defending force 73027 troops, 703 guns, 15 vehicles, Assault Value = 1500 Japanese ground losses: 241 casualties reported Guns lost 11 Allied ground losses: 11 casualties reported Guns lost 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Townsville Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 68437 troops, 898 guns, 6 vehicles, Assault Value = 2289 Defending force 292771 troops, 3209 guns, 24 vehicles, Assault Value = 5720 Japanese ground losses: 94 casualties reported Guns lost 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Cairns Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 46848 troops, 489 guns, 3 vehicles, Assault Value = 1112 Defending force 196495 troops, 2003 guns, 19 vehicles, Assault Value = 3341 Japanese ground losses: 39 casualties reported Allied ground losses: 5 casualties reported
