Hornblower -> Malacca invasion 12/7 ?? (5/5/2009 2:35:37 AM)
Question for you JFB's out there. Has anyone attempted during the 12/7/41 moves to take Japanese troops and land at Malacca while simultaniously landing on the Khota Bharu side of Malaya? Object being to block the LOC to Singapore. I don't know if you can or Can't, or if there are HR's imposed to prevent that. Just intersted if anyone has tried it and what there results are. I'm contemplating starting a new game as the Japanese and wonder if such a move is, well, possible... [&:][8\|]

It's gamey, given that it required the invasion force to sail by the entrance to the Singapore Naval Base.

A bit Gamey, But why not try Mersing?

And dayly visits by Vildebeest and swordfish carrying torpedoes (passing through the CAP of Zeros)...Kongo and Haruna remenber my landing at Mersing (against the AI). Iwill never do it again....

I landed in Mersing during my game running now. with heavy BB suport it was taken fairly easy, with only CL Kashi taking a single torp from air operations. Landing baseforces in Sonkhia & Khota baru is something that comes in handy to supress air missions over Mersing. The Malaya Campaign is a succes due to the landing in Mersing (and despite almost 1000 AV landing after turn 1 because i screwed up some of the movement bonuses [8\|])

OK, so its "Possible" from a game standpoint, but Gamey and only limited by HR's. Which makes perfect sense. I would think someone, some ship, some plane, would see 20 IJN AP's and escorts swing past Singapore on 12/6. Unless of course they were all banged up on the Gin..

Just a peaceful training exercise. [:D]
