EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 10:37:49 PM) Was pretty much without internet access for 2 months! hence the delay here. Still managed to do a few turns anyway armed with USB sticks, wifi in pubs and the like, so progress has been made. No AAR posts though. UNTIL NOW...

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 10:42:30 PM) Aggressive raiding by the USN around Formosa/Taiwan by some of the incredibly awesome 38 knot USN DDs. Good results obtained as some freighters are shot up bad. Looked like a suicide run to me on the part of the Japs. Also some strategic bombing of Nagasaki again, does 1000 points worth of strategic damage more or less, though its mostly to non-critical stuff like light industry rather than the aircraft factory there. And in Vietnam British tanks push on towards Vinh.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 10:57:03 PM) Commonwealth forces thrust as far as Vinh in northern Vietnam, but there run into a big Japanese reserve. Turns out bad for the advance guard who run into vastly superior forces. This pretty much means that the SEAC front is locked up solidly now with the Commonwealth/Japanese forces evenly matches across the Thai/Vietnam front. I'm hoping the forces in Vietnam will slowly starve with Allies athwart the supply line from China and UK carriers sitting off Saigon, but in this game supply stockpiles can only really be reduced by blood in my experience...

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 11:05:03 PM) Fair bit of shipping around Aparri. The US CV force moves aggressively northwards to the mid point between Formosa and Luzon to attract IJAAF attention. Lots of Japs launch, no damage to the US fleet though and heavy casualties are inflicted by CAP. The Japanese airfarce grows more anaemic by the day.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 11:19:39 PM) Plenty of shipping at Aparri as baseforces and reinforcements are dropped off there by ship while the CVs are on patrol. The IJAAF on Formosa have been butchered by repeated ineffective naval strikes, so the time is ripe. I want to send the CVs home soon for a refit. New radars.

So they pull out to railway line again. They'll need support in the form of the divisions at Singapore, maybe, assuming I decide to increase pressure here. Somewhat at a loose end as to what to do, in truth.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 11:34:50 PM) Pretty much had enough of Manila by now. 2 US divisions are mauled to <150 AV, and while its mostly disablements, thats not good. They've been pulled out of the front. A bunch of other divisions have been bled. I peel off a USMC division, a US army division and some support units that happen to be fully prepped for Taihoku. Taihoku seems to have about 20,000 troops, so one division, tops, probably considerably less. Taipei only has 25k. I think we can make a leap to Formosa soonish, while Manila is being reduced. Further on from that, I got eyes on Okinawa and... Wenchow! Southern China looks almost empty from recon, and if I could capture some airfields on the SE Chinese coast then that would be bad indeed for Japan.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 11:40:52 PM) Given I'm thinking of invading Formosa soon, the USAAF are tasked with crushing the two major airfields there. I was expecting quite a scrap, but turns out that the air defence there is tissue thin. Massive damage is done for no Allied loss; I can only assume that no radar combined with butchery of fighter pilots against CV CAP are to blame. Either way >100 Japanese aircraft are torched on the field at Taihoku for no loss in Superforts.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (6/29/2012 11:50:19 PM) More slaughter of the IJAAF on Formosa... my opponent was quite pi$$ed off with today. He assures me had aircraft set to 40% CAP at Taipei but no CAP at all. Not sure what was going on there. Maybe the B29s Schnellbombered their way to the target before the fighters could engage? Maybe their morale/fatigue is still in the toilet after previous butcheries? I dont know. Either way almost 200 a/c destroyed today, and Formosa's airfields are out of action for no real Allied loss.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (7/1/2012 1:18:28 PM) I'm just gonna skip to October 13th, nothing much cool happened in between really. Japs at Manila bombed a lot is the main thing that's been going on. But now that I got a proper conn and all, I can afford some screenshots. First is Luzon, where the Yanks have the Japanese bottled up at Manila. But the Japanese troops there are proving hard for the US army to digest... Aparri is an airfield 7 and potentially an airfield 9, there are a lot of engineers working on that and Superforts are being moved over as damaged status permits.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (7/1/2012 1:21:03 PM) In Thailand, 14th Army are deadlocked with the IJA. The numbers actually add up in favour of the IJA, I would estimate about 6500 AV of Japanese vs 5000 AV of Commonwealth. However, a big chunk of the Japanese force has been cut off in Vietnam due to the armoured thrust into northern Vietnam, so perhaps Bill Slim has something of an advantage there? But I can't really see much progress happening in the SEAC front for a while. [image]local://upfiles/10259/D3C38F50845F472A9DD22C76763B6F33.gif[/image]

Given the Superforts on Luzon I think thats sufficient, along with a bunch of CVEs, to escort an invasion force of Taihoku.

EUBanana -> RE: Mines in the Pacific (7/1/2012 1:52:05 PM) Here's the global situation. Immediate plans : reduce Manila, invade Formosa via landing on Taihoku, got almost 1000 AV earmarked for Taihoko and there will be a reinforcement wave. Do whatever can be done in Thailand but I fear not much. Potential invasion of Samah is planned but it'll be a small job and isn't a priority. Longer range plans : I think the main plan over the next quarter will be the capture of Shanghai. When Formosa is captured, troops will land at Wenchow - only lightly defended - and then march overland to Shanghai. If they dont make Shanghai thats fine, as there are plenty of potentially high airfield bases on the Chinese coast which can then be used to reduce the Japanese homeland. Most of the available IJA in China seems to be facing the Chinese army at Paoshan, or fighting the Chinese remnant near Sian. A good 2000 AV of Americans in the far southeast might be enough to make China shatter, though the objective is merely to obtain big airfields close to Japan itself. I also have plans to invade Okinawa and Daito Shoto during this sort of timeframe, but we shall see. [image]local://upfiles/10259/CA675F31753946B2AF71A45F55A7F7A3.jpg[/image]

Group patrol altitude is 10000 Time for all group planes to reach interception is 8 minutes My raid on Taihoku did not go well, his convoy was in an out quick and avoided the DDs, who were then exposed to hostile fire. But the IJAAF is just a skeleton these days, or at least very few fly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on 706th Tank Battalion, at 80,74 (San Fernando) Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 45 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet.

Not sure if its wise of him to concentrate so far forward at the front though, but I suspect he's already written these guys off given they are cut off. That said. his troops in Vinh are moving south, so maybe there are plans afoot to try and break out of the pocket?

Group patrol altitude is 14000 , scrambling fighters between 6000 and 14000. Time for all group planes to reach interception is 35 minutes I saw where those Jills came from yesterday - this is why a night attack is a bad idea. Theres not much point attempting to preserve airframes by night attacks, unless you plan on immediate evac, when the Allies can do this. 100 Superforts meets a paltry air defence, hampered by the Japanese apparent inability to fly (I believe his pilot skill and morale is in the toilet these days, probably doesnt help). I am assured the Nicks are supposed to fly CAP but they didnt show up. ~50 Nicks and ~50 Jills destroyed. I kinda suspect that my foe does not appreciate the importance of trained pilots... OTOH the attrition at this point in the war is staggering so maybe even if you do theres nothing you can do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Paoshan , at 65,45 Weather in hex: Heavy rain Raid spotted at 17 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet.
