Despite the way that the Game Replay gives a message that minesweeping is in action before most other things during the night phase I suspect that is only for minesweepers that are already sitting in minefields. If they have to get to the minefield, such is the case at Bataan, then the minesweepers go out in whatever order the Game sends out TFs from Manila, and it appears to send sub TFs out first.

The battle of malaya is critical to allied success in the early days of the war the more time the japanese waste in Malaya the stronger the allies get everywhere else. IMO there are a number of things an allied player needs to watch/note. 1. As any Japanese player will tell you the first stretch of movement is a class A swine. Getting units to Alor Star and Temuloh over those bad (non existant) roads is a pain - armour can do it but armour alone is not enough against even the lightweight allied forces if they make a fight of it. Keeping the Japanese OFF the rail network and away from strategic mode is your number 1 objective. 2. Dont get cut off and defeated in detail 3. The japanese have limited LCU's and a poor forward port network. Its the balancing act of these three issues that determines allied strategy in Malaya Eventually when the Japanese get to Malacca or Johore they can close Singapore and thats the beginiing of the end in this AAR I will run through my defence of Malaya and why I am doing as I go

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (12/19/2009 11:52:14 PM)
My strategy is to some extent dictated by my opponent String has committed his paras to the PI which makes my decisions easier So I am using malay Bns to forward defend all the rail bases to slow the japanese down so every base has at least one unit in it while i am trying to concentrate III Corps at malacca [image]local://upfiles/11987/ED01F7FCA6A44070AD2E6145AE7E8BE9.jpg[/image]

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (12/20/2009 12:01:39 AM)
An initial line can be constructed at either of the yellow phase lines it means defending 2 hexes and neither is perfect because it gives up a forward base that the Japanese can strategiclly rail into which speeds up their whole campagn this is a bad thing for the allies. But once the Japanese get rolling downt he coast road they can move pretty quickly anyway - a key thing is to know when to pull back avoiding gettign your Bdes cut off or retreated is important. A few Bns lost is small beer their combat utility is low anyway. I like to have a few of them left behind anyway to try and come back onto the LOC after the main forces have passed through - the ssvf bNS and the ISF Bns are good for this they have little to add to a Bde or Div battle anyway but they can be a real nuisance int he rear of a Japanese advance and force them to leave garrisons in every base. Malaya is a pig of a place to fight for both sides exploit it So my plan is to have Bns covering each of the bases and concentrate in and around Kuala Lumpera on the rear of the twoyellowblue lines for now but this will not be my main fighting line. For that I have four choices Kuala Lumper - open terrain if i had more armour or Arty it would be perfect but I dont so I probably wont my green troops need all the help they can get. The first Blue line is viable hard to bypass decent terrain if the Japanese land at mersing you have time to bug out - its got real possibilities. Johore same and it cannot be flanked Singapore I could just run for Singapore and dig in and I may well do so but a delay at either of the other spots even a few days would help

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (12/20/2009 1:29:55 PM)
String is now off on holiday for two weeks so this one will be quiet for a bit

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (1/2/2010 2:27:53 PM)
OK string is back so I will be updating again battle of Malaya feels faster than v PZB no attack on Mersing but I think Sting is not waiting for his forces to concentrate before moving - time will tell. Certainly been very aggressive in attacking my centre and north so I am reacting by strengthening the covering bases in the south to try and give me opportunities to get raiding forces into his vitals.

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (1/2/2010 4:18:15 PM)
OK back to it more to follow but basically String has returned from Holiday with a bang Still working out my strategy for this game. He has pshed onwards so fast into North Borneo that I am going to swivel abd try to remain strong in the south. I think he may be about to try an early atack on North Java no intel just gut feeling. So if I reinforce Timor/Kendari/Ambon it could provide a counter weight. Last time I played string we had mammoth battles around Timor so I need to avod replaying that game. He definitely wont....

OK still not sure what to do in this game the mass exodus from Manila has cost the usual bt by waiting I think I caufght some of his TF's low on fuel,. heavy raids on Manila and Sinbgapore today the early capture of the North Borneo base is a real PITA that stops movement accross north DEI I think I need to try and surge forward as many air units as possible in this game.

OK major landings imminent at Ambon he is moving like greased fing lightning. Mini KB in force in south Celebes Main KB off Rabaul Invasion TF en route to PM and Rabaul and Ambon Zeros and Betties covering north Borneo and malaya In the south cannot move becuase of carrier air In the north because of that nest of Betties Overall I am stuck its like the old zulu buffalo trick he is ignroing the places that will require LCU's and I dont have a single CW or USAAF fighter anywhere and the Dutch cannot leave their own area so I am screwed. Darwin is uncovered, PM, Rabaul I cannot do a damned thing my bombers have no cover in the places he is attacking. He is ignoring CENTPAC to achieve this o I may try something there to offset this mayhem

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (1/3/2010 1:34:45 AM)
I am moving 2 Buffalo Sqns to try and cover Darwin its all I have got. They have about 20 Buffalos between them That leaves me with the AVG (which I forgot about - so when I say I have no USAAF fighters I am forgetting them !!!) I will probably start transferring one AVG Sqn to Australia until those USAAF Sqns start arriving I am stuffed.

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (1/3/2010 1:17:48 PM)
I have very few options and I dont like committing what little I have on a hunch. He has committed KB and Mini KB to a SWPAC/South DEI including heavy gas guzzling BB support The time factor is significant because the first 30 days are when the allies are at their absolute weakest. He has used this time to isolate Malaya - fine and to hit Ambon and Ternate and take Rabaul quickly. I dont know but it feels like either a massive bluff or a PM/Darwin/East Australia offensive. I have lost the TF that passed Rabaul heading SW but I would bet its en route to PM which is very weak. Not sure what to do my gut says this is real but Sigint has said nada. Not sure what to do. I have mined Darwin and ordered 3rd Motor Bde to the end of the rail line in case I decide to reinforce other steps I need to think abouit

Andy Mac -> RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy. (1/3/2010 4:21:46 PM)
Hmm String indicated I may acrtually have gotten Nagato in which case this is a good day and its the price he has paid to attack this aggressively I need to tie him up at Ambon for as long as possible my gut says its Darwin either direct or indirect via Derby/Wyndham I have ordered a Bn to secure my line of retreat and have ordered 22nd Recce Bn to cross thedesert at best pace to cover tennant creek.
