Just another chance encounter, goes to show though that when threats are around rather than ASW trawlers you really want surface combat groups with your CVs... shame my one is now out of ammo!

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/13/2012 1:23:30 AM)

Aside from my CVs bumming around the South China Sea just looking to wreak havoc, there's no major operation going on right this second. The air war between Mindanao and Luzon is continuing. Singapore is continuing to be slowly reduced. I'm tweaking deployments in the Filipino area which I control (moved most of the Iloilu force to Tacloban to make sure rooting those Japs out happens quickly). Mindanao is being constantly reinforced with engineers, and I'm trying to gather up various fragments and reunite them with their main unit as I hate that sort of untidiness.

However I'm slowly beginning to organise the planned Legaspi landings. Unfortunately he has 40 units reported at Manila, we're talking a Singapore scale battle to take it. There are four uncommitted American divisions at Sorong, another one at Rabaul, another two en route from the West Coast : theres no way thats enough. If Singapore falls I might have to gather up 14th Army, or a significant chunk of it, and ship it over to Luzon to hasten the end. Only fair for the CW to help out as the Yanks loaned Slim some valuable engineers.

Also I landed an African division on Java and am in the process of taking it. Java has a garrison requirement, so this means some garrison baseforces and battalions, I've gathered up a few of the tiny Aussie units to do this, not even the Cdo units are much use in '44 for much else with their tiny AV.

More supply hits now but I think it's not relevant, looks like Singapore has plenty of supply even after weeks of bombardment.

I think Singers must have had 100 b24 equivalents per day or thereabouts bombing the place for several weeks now. Probably of the order of 900 500lb bombs a day. Thats about 225 tons a day. The place has had a couple of kilotons by now. More a case of occupying the crater rather than liberating the city now I fear...

Had some guys prepped for Puerto Princesa but despite its operational value it's neither garrisonned nor built up. Which means an air bridge between Davao and Puerto Princessa is probably the most expeditious way to build it up to the point I can base a fighter squadron there, after which we'll supply it by sea and bring in some heavy equipment like engineering vehicles. b25s can range deep into the China Sea from here, so even northern Borneo is now emphatically closed to him. Another great swathe of the Japanese Empire carved away.




EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/13/2012 1:53:28 AM)

I've not been blind to Clark Field. I got plenty of recon assets at work over Luzon. Basically there's only 2 airfields of any size there, Manila and Clark. Clark up till now has been mostly empty with him concentrated at Manila but for some reason yesterday I noticed that the report said he had >100 bombers but very few fighters there. Manila meanwhile is still tough, constant bloody battles required to keep his fighter strength down.

But today I switched the focus mostly to Clarke and torched over 90 Helens on the runway! God knows what they were doing there. But a very productive day, 130 Japs waxed for about 20 Allied, that helps the kill ratio no end. Helens, Nells and Lilies being almost all the kills.

Also, another deliberate attack on Singapore, this one achieves 2:1 odds. The end is nigh for Singers soon enough. Those extra engineers were just the ticket. They will R&R in Singapore when the place falls for a while, somehow I think they'll be doing a repeat performance at Manila fairly soon.

I really wouldn't want to be a combat engineer in this war... talk about the nasty jobs.

The Royal Navy has so many submarines right now... massive British submarine reinforcements in 1944. Unfortunately the time for sub war is almost past I think and the short range of the British S-boats makes them of limited value. I'm using Palembang as a submarine base, an AS is already in position there and the fuel looks after itself obviously. British submarines are thick as fleas around Vietnam and northern Borneo but I am surprised to see any shipping there at all. This convoy was hit off the coast of Vietnam, no idea what it was doing there.

Everything went right. Everything. The sweepers all launched, and the CAP was cleared away before the bombers went in. And a very high % of the bombers made it to the drop point.

[:D]

He does occasionally say that he can't face doing a turn on that day, and he'd like a day or two off before he can handle doing it.

You need a lot of fortitude to play Japan in 1944 I think, at least in the position he is in now. But he does plan on going to the bitter end. Tanks in Tokyo!




Captain Cruft -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/13/2012 2:44:27 AM)

I was just thinking how much I would relish taking over the Japanese position at this point ... Good luck to whoever it is anyway [:)]

I have to say I'm eager to play Japan now. I'm not sure I'd have the stones to take this sort of beating without complaint, but as I have the luxury of being privy to the true state of the Allied war machine, and I'm often thinking, "If I was him, I'd just do /this/, and have a good chance of spitting in Gods eye at least!".

Not everything is going my way. The Allied heavy bomber pool is on 0, and I got a LOT of squadrons seriously understrength. I dont think he appreciates this weakness. Ditto the P38 pools. But from his point of view it probably seems like a limitless flood of firepower. Nothing could be further from the truth. If he could only give just a little bit more...

I can see the appeal of playing Japan in 1944, anyway. Though it must be sad to accept that every ship you have, all those cool toys that dominate the world in 1942, are doomed in the long run.

When we're done, I shall be rematching the same opponent as Japan, so he will get his revenge. As we're doing 2-3 turns a day on average it might even be within the year...




EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/13/2012 3:16:17 AM)

Other thing I'd do if I was him is push into Thailand out of Vietnam if at all possible. I think 75% of the available Commonwealth firepower is now in Malaya. While the other areas are not unguarded, a 2000 AV push into Thailand would mean the precipitious retreat of the Commonwealth out of Malaya. Even 1500 AV might do it. There are about 3-4 Allied divisions worth there but only 2 actual divisions, the rest are brigades/paras/odds and ends which are subpar compared to a division.

Thats actually why I was careful to take Sumatra as soon as it was possible, because then even if he relieved Singapore the oil is still interdicted and so the strategic goal of the Commonwealth advance is still achieved.

That said, even so, I'd be doing it anyway just for the sheer pleasure of delivering a major counterblow to the Allies and cutting the CW off from the Americans. As it is Singapore is almost linked up with Jolo, though heavy escort is needed. Dangerous route.

Unfortunately the bulk of the IJA seems to be at Paoshan right now, and has been countered by the river and mountainous terrain there. All part of the defeat of China, but the trails mean redeployment would take a very long time. He did actually begin a redeployment there but he doubled back on himself - thats actually how he managed to take Paoshan in the first place, I saw him move away, didnt expect him to come back.




EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/14/2012 6:13:54 PM)

A CV raid is ordered for the Formosa area. It's essentially a recon in force. I'm starting to prep LCUs for the Okinawa/Formosa area and I want to know what is out there.

(turns out that there are 20,000 reported at Takao, 20,000 reported at the other end of Formosa in the base name I forget, about about 10,000 reported at Naha).

The other objective is to make sure the area is free of IJN units as I'm going to attempt to reduce Manila with a BB bombardment.

Wouldn't be a raid without surface combat, so a couple of flotillas of DDs who have been waiting to go at Babeldaob are ordered in as well. [:)]

We're into August now. My god, 1944 is almost over. How time flies.

Manila is filled with disbanded units, amazingly. Anything disbanded in port cannot be defended against air attack. Night bombing is still rather too accurate I think... though bear in mind that the solution appears to have been 'X strays because of night', so the vast majority of the bombers ordered in didnt actually drop or appear in a combat report. I think a lot of them were damaged but obviously not badly damaged given even after a bomb hit, no heavy damage.

Manila promptly gets emptied, but the CVs are closing in off the east coast of the Philippines now, hopefully out of air recon range...

The CVs approach Shanghai as so many Japanese TFs are detected around there... most of them have fled east, but this one is caught...

Float planes aboard the fleet are reconning various locations while the killing is going on. I'm a little wary of staying here too mucuh as I believe the IJN still has half a dozen CVs or so, wouldn't do to be caught without any sorties left, though it is unlikely.

The raiders dont have rich pickings because the CVs have blasted everything to scrap within range. But they do find /some/ stuff. The submarine fleet around the PI will be glad that so many hunter-killer TFs have been hammered.

Naval Attack: 1 x 18in Type 91 Torpedo


The Japanese finally decide to attempt to reply. With night bombing, and luck on the first hit. Stargazer takes 40 major floatation damage and her speed drops to 19 knots. Sorties are down to about 30% now so I'm in the process of withdrawing anyway but a hit like that means the CV is going to be out for a goodly while.

I'm going to swap out the Avengers aboard Stargazer for some Corsair night fighters I think, so this is less likely to happen in the future.

Assuming she makes it home, but 0 sys 40 flot, she probably will unless hit again.

I noticed that he'd disbanded a lot of the shipping into the port at Taihoku. Unfortunate that I noticed and acted accordingly. [:)] Naval/port orders prove the right choice this turn.

That said I guess he has little use for merchants these days, its warships that are the true prize now. Yamato is still out there somewhere... and a bunch of the crapper and later war CVs. The Unyos, Hiyo, Shinano...

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/14/2012 7:03:48 PM)

With the CV force speed at only 18 knots extricating the CVs from the battle zone takes a while. Fortunately there are no more lucky hits.

Another day of max effort at Manila, but it doesn't really go the Allies way. losses are 60 for 80, with the Allied heavies again getting mauled. This won't do. Manila remains operational despite the USAAFs best efforts, and the Legaspi assault force is being loaded right now, so something needs to be done.

I've amassed old battleships at Cagayan, and I'm going to try a naval bombardment. CVEs will escort the BBs and there will be LRCAP as well. There is also a cruiser SAG to protect them from surface action, but given the USN raid at Formosa still ongoing I think the path will be clear.

The Legaspi assault force is ENORMOUS. A 100 ship amphib TF, must be about 25 APAs alone. There are four divisions plus support embarked, theres an AGC command ship along for the ride with amphib HQ. There will be a second wave as well, but the plan has always been to move up units in Mindanao, Jolo, Panay and Leyte to Luzon. The Japs holding out at Butuan has put this slightly behind schedule. Legaspi is weakly held so I'm confident that I can establish a lodgment to reinforce from, the problem is Manila itself.

I think the Allies will need some Commonwealth support as well to crack Manila... I Australia Corps might be mostly available and mostly intact.

So you've, uh, checked for mines at Bataan, right? That one always gets me right at the beginning...would in theory expect a whole bunch there right now, though I haven't checked how many mines the Japanese produce late-war.

Yeah, I've already raided it with DDs and nothing happened, and there are DMSes included in the bombardment group just in case.

If there are mines, cant be very many, as the DDs would have caught them otherwise. I think it's fairly safe... well, as safe as a base bristling with "dismounted" carrier air can be anyway.

Mopping up continuing at Butuan. Without the forts Allied artillery proves devastating at Singapore now.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (4/28/2012 11:37:08 AM)

There is another USN raid ordered for the Formosa area - but the Fletcher DDs which have done so well in the past have met their nemesis - kamikazes.

They don't seem to do much damage but they are very accurate, accurate enough to reliably hit a DD even when the pilot is untrained or semi trained.

Meanwhile on Luzon, bombers turn their attention to the ground units defending Naga, which is an open hex after all. Heavy damage is done - dont even dare defend in open terrain in 1944...
