The Japanese aircraft losses are rediculous as compared to Allied losses. Crocky, to what do you attribute these losses? Numbers on each side don't seem too horribly out of whack so do you think it is lack of pilot training? Aircraft quality? Superior Allied fighter direction (radar)? What? Just curious. I've not reached such a late date in a game of UV yet.

It seems that Crocky did an excellent job of husbanding his airforce (especially earlier in the game) - and great playing kept his airpower viable long after the equivalent AI would be reduced to impotency. There comes a point though where the endless supply of fighters & bombers the allies can throw at Japan eventually overwhelms even the most elite squadrons. And I find the army fighter groups (the KI-48's & 61's) to be almost useless against Hellcats & Corsairs in a even fight. I'll be very interested to see if Kid can grab Rabaul in the next ten days. Very interested indeed..........

If your talking about the entire campagin well thats a diffrent story. Rick

Yeah, no kidding... 76 aircraft destroyer on the ground? Its like that scene in Independence day where the aliens attack the airbase... Cut to shot of Crocky looking out the window. Crocky see's Kid's airforce on its attack run. Crocky's cigar falls out of his mouth.

Crocky -> (9/20/2002 3:19:17 AM)
Well the last 6 months have been hell on the Japanese airforce my bases have been overrun forceing me back to Rabual and Kavieg as my major airfields which in turn brings all kids fighters closer and his combined raid are impossible to stop If you look back thru the last few AARs you will see what I mean 2 major raids per day 1 from Gasmata now it has fallen comprising mainly about 80-100 B25s + 100 fighters and the other from more distant bases of 150+ 4 enginned bombers plus escorts..the first couple of raids knock out the airfield grounding all planes apart from a few fighters and the follow up raids do huge amounts of damage to your aircraft on the ground..... When Kid turned his attention to Kavieg 6 days ago the writing was on the wall now if I recall (Im at work so I m doing this from memory) Kavieg has..... Port damage..........................60 airfield service damage?........82 Runway damage...................100 As the Japanese my numbers of pilots are lacking there are squadron in Truk with 25 aircraft and only 10 pilots there....Training level is between 40 & 45 and their aircraft are outclassed......The light weaponary is the problem they just cant do enough damage to heavy bombers ..... Having said that I have made some serious errors tactically that have cost me which I will clarify later on....... Oh by the way Rabual in terms of game points is now 2700 (100) for both sides

Crocky -> (9/20/2002 11:34:20 AM)
24 Dec 1943 Airfields at Rabual got hammered again ....totally destroyed now 2 transport TFs attempted to breakthrough to Rabual and got hammered from the air but the bulk of the troops and supplies got through... Kid tried another assault on Rabual heres the result round combat at Rabaul Allied Shock attack Attacking force 36591 troops, 427 guns, 77 vehicles Defending force 33133 troops, 300 guns, 93 vehicles Allied assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 4) Japanese ground losses: Men lost 192 Allied ground losses: Men lost 1401 Guns lost 1 Looks like I may be able to hang on to Rabual :)

About 3 weeks ago (game time) I had taken Gasmata just for the victory points. To my surprise it turned out to be a major airfield and an excellent place to launch air attacks. When I saw Crocky landing troops one hex north of Gasmata, I diverted 3/4 of a division to protect it, which they did. But now I am wondering if that was a mistake. Those fresh troops might have swung the balance at Rabaul. We only have a few turns left in the game and that is not enough time to load them up and move them..

siRkid -> (9/21/2002 10:03:56 AM)
If I'm not mistaken, we have two turns left. I also belive we are the first to complete Scenario #17 from turn one till the bitter end.

28 December 1943 The day dawned overcast and again the allies bombed the heck out of Rabual with virtually no opposition but today was different during the previous couple of night nearly 2 fresh regiments had battled there way across the seas to Rabual along with them were fresh suplies 1/2 a dozen transports and DDs lay at the bottom of the ocean in the effort to get the troops there. Now was the time to pay them back We launched our Counter attack Ground combat at Rabaul ----Assault 1 Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 29184 troops, 336 guns, 92 vehicles Defending force 37594 troops, 404 guns, 86 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese ground losses: Men lost 612 Guns lost 2 Allied ground losses: Men lost 23691 Guns lost 279 Vehicles lost 26 And Kids reply after my attack Ground combat at Rabaul Allied Shock attack Attacking force 15452 troops, 152 guns, 55 vehicles Defending force 38636 troops, 401 guns, 92 vehicles Allied assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 4) Japanese ground losses: Men lost 23 Allied ground losses: Men lost 671 Guns lost 1 Vehicles lost 1 and the next day Ground combat at Rabaul Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 28305 troops, 333 guns, 92 vehicles Defending force 14776 troops, 150 guns, 54 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 10 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese ground losses: Men lost 56 Allied ground losses: Men lost 11674 Guns lost 154 Vehicles lost 68 Rabual is in my sole possession and will remain so
