Congratulations [:)]. However, the front looks like a bit a "trench warfare" ala 1914....

quote: ORIGINAL: Andy Mac ps supplies are simply shocking....XV Corps is all out Bur Corps is int he red now I need an admin pause to re assess whether or not I can sustain this force in Burma in the dry season never mind the monsoon Nope, I had the same experience. Whatever, they have done in the patches has "fixed" supply in Burma. As far as I can see, an overland attack from India is very difficult without major air transport assets. Even two hexes away from my built up base in North India, my units went hungry, and it was the dry season.

Interesting point to be noted by Allied and Japanese Players as well. With this, Offensive war all over Burma will be VERY difficult to carry prior 1944...

Andy Mac -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/14/2010 6:48:00 PM)
Int eh last three days I have lost over 120 aircraft my core bombing force is still intact but my fighters and perirephal types are struggling Supply is low and i am moving out of the pocket. My plan is to concentrate Burma Corps at Shwebo. Pull c 2 Divs out fo XV Corps to reinforce BurCorps and then pull XV Corps back to india to refit I will then close down Burma until after the next monsoon. I clearly need to build up all the bases and stockpile supplies before future offensives would have a chance at success Andy

I rested the entire Burma Air Force today had no choice the fatigue level was getting extreme In other news the RNZN could have just saved a lot of lives today. I love AMC's for long range middle of no where patrols they have the endurance and seaworthiness to loiter a long time on long run patrol zones, Its actually the perfect role for them I deployed my remaining ones to cover the southern and northern appraches around PH had no choice while the Japanese hold the Line Islands - today the Kiwis found the Jap fleet train which means KB is at sea I have 5 Carriers at Pearl and they will take to sea in 24 hours to see what we shall see....

Nemo121 -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/15/2010 1:15:40 PM)
Andy, from reading your recent posts it looks as though you are contemplating abandoning Schwebo as well. Is this right? I can understand the difficulty of keeping troops supplied but I would argue that holding Schwebo through the Monsoon would be of incalculable value next year. Might you gain better results from using your bombers to ferry supplies also? Some of the American four-engined bombers can ferry supplies from afar and bring in 7 or 8 tons each. 50 of them should give a not inconsiderable boost to your supplies in Burma - 8 x 50 = 400 tons per day = 12,000 tons per month. That's enough to keep about 4 divisions in combat throughout the month. RAF bombers may not have quite those loads but enough of them will still get the job done and it might be a better use of your resources than seeing them shot down over IJAAF bases en masse. I might have misunderstood your intentions though... I think though you really should try to keep a foothold in Burma. Next year gaining ground here without a foothold will be even more difficult than it currently is.

Andy Mac -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/15/2010 1:58:46 PM)
No I am trying to hang onto Shwebo. I agree its vital. I will need more AA Guns to secure the base and I have 3 more Sqns of C47's en route which will lift me up to nearly 200 transport aircraft. I have lots of hurdles to overcome but I need to pull out the XV Corps they are stuck at mandalay without a secure retreat path One Bde has been shattered already and will need to be evacced to India other units are in trouble. De facto I have enough combat power to hold the plains for next season but I am low on supplies. I need to get these bases built up ASAP. Today I had a total screw up I stood down everything but misses my Blenheim Group and they suffered badly - never do a turn when tired...it was a mistake pure and simple and cost me 30 Blenheims. If I can hold Shwebo and the Arakan through the next monsoon I will be in great shape for the battles to come next year.

This isn't WW2 it's WW1: the Somme...

Andy Mac -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/15/2010 9:50:41 PM)
lol not sure if I won or lost this one... I achieved the objective which was secure more bases in Burma and secure Arakan, atttrit his AF and generally make a nuisance of myself. After I realised how many troops he had Rangoon was never on the cards but at least I have secured a jumping off spot for my late 43 offensive. I now have a year to dig in and get my supply net ready for that attack while rebuilding my AF. After PZB chnaged tack to arttritional air warfare I was always going to lose it took him long enough to do it allowing me to destroy c 400 Tojo's along the way. It cost me but overall I think I am pleased. I can now hold on at Shwebo building forts and AF and other bases behind the lines re train my AF and generally prepare. My gut tells me this offensive was a win all I secured was Katha and Shwebo but along the way I secured Myktina and Arakan and managed to destroy some of his AF without getting my own totally destroyed. But now is thr right time to call it off Mandalay is never going to fall and I need to rotate some units and shift focus. I need to turn my focus to SWPAC, SOPAC and CENTPAC for a while without letting PZB realise I have done so

Andy Mac -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/18/2010 6:54:47 PM)
Sorry guys been really busy at day job. Lots happening KB raids along the map edges miles from anywhere but runs into an AO convoy. Lots of small battles in the deep south pacific. Front is stabilising in Burma I will begin rotating units back to India soon. Apart from that not a lot to say. I have 6 Fleet CV's and 4 CVE's ready to go hunt KB so that should be interesting. Andy

Andy Mac -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/20/2010 3:20:10 PM)
OK its been quiet last turn I staged an ambush and managed to bag about 30 Japanese aircraft A good result !!! I am re organising my Sqns in the Burma and Australian theatres. In Burma about 50% of all sqns are moving to reserve and training the rest are recieving trained pilots and a full allocation of good aircraft. P39's are good ambush fighters because if they hit they kill. In general Burma is going to be about hit and run for a while. I am slowly re deploying good aircraft back to Australia and resting the Burma AF. I am intending to build up AF's on the Australian mainland in order to support my next SWPAC attack on New Guinea. This offensive is probably 2 months away from being ready

Andy Mac -> RE: FAA Strikes Back !!! (8/20/2010 3:22:08 PM)
I will end up with fewer trained sqns with a good reserve of frames and pilots in order to attack in strength de facto I may try another Burma offensive this year not to actually achieve anything but merely to focus his attention on the theatre I want all of his reserves in Burma containing my 2 Corps that will give me a much freer hand elsewhere

Andy Mac -> Vegas Inspection Trip (8/22/2010 5:34:09 PM)
[:D][:D]Gone to Vegas on an 'Inspection' Trip - must be something around here I can use to justify my trip....;

traskott -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/22/2010 5:48:51 PM)
Almost sure they build supplies, and supplies are always important. [:D] Trying to catch the KB ?? Risky !!!

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/22/2010 6:01:23 PM)
Yup PZB today launched a daylight raid on Comilla catching 1 B17 on the ground - no idea why he isnt doing more of this In last 2 days I lost 4% of my B17 strength For all the Japanese players out there best place to kill B17's on the ground !!! I am redeploying within the Burma theatre and also in Australia more to follow after the end of my "inspection" trip....

traskott -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/22/2010 6:05:49 PM)
B-17s have such a so low replacement rate than been remotely closed to the front is an error, I think.

crsutton -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/22/2010 7:35:56 PM)
Yep, have to watch those shore bases too as it is way too easy to sneak a bombardment in in AE.

The raid he did with KB on Auckland in my game got him 25 heavies. Very painful!

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/23/2010 1:52:18 AM)
Comilla is my maion B17 AF its well protected by over 300 AA guns plus normally fighters I upgraded them when he hit me so they were all grounded p.s. only 90th BG is currently using B17's the rest are off in transit to somewhere else [:D][:D]

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/24/2010 6:30:43 PM)
My inspection tour of important military hardware in Las Vegas continues......<I am sure morale of any soldiers posted here would improve dramatically...I know mine did !!!> I am going to move onto my next stop tommorrow where I will begin an inspection of Los Angeles/San Diego and surrounds Probably going to stay in Hollywood havent decided yet have hire car will go where my nose leads me - looking for corruption and innefficiency of course [:D][:D]

Walloc -> RE: Vegas Inspection Trip (8/24/2010 6:38:15 PM)
Any one got the bookie odds on that Andy falls to the alure of Hollywood. Becomes a move star, stay in Hollywood and this is the end of a fine AAR?[:D] Kind regards, and have a nice vacation Andy, erm i mean inspection sorry my bad Rasmus

witpqs -> Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (8/24/2010 9:03:38 PM)
Andy, I fixed the title of the page for you!

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (8/25/2010 3:53:24 AM)
Thank you Vegas definitely Fell I managed to leave with the same amount of money that i arrived with which I am told is some feat.... (A bunch of the luckiest Canadian Girls <hammered obviously> were shooting at a craps table at 3am afrter the nightclubs emptied and I was lucky enough to be there was a 1 hr roll got me back to even :) ) OK confession time I missed LA - I know I know how can you miss a city that size.... Well on I15 I missed the turn off for I10 and kept on going so I am going to inspect Seaworld and San Diego harbour and defences tomorrow instead then head back to LA in a day or so....the title is part of a deliberate fals information trail that wiitpqs is helping me with to throw PZB off honest its nothing at all to do with my navigaion (or lack thereof) skills....

witpqs -> RE: Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (8/25/2010 4:00:51 AM)
As it's confession time - you are better off missing LA! [:D] If you like zoos San Diego zoo is one of the best.

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (9/1/2010 1:09:20 AM)
Did the zoo, did seaworld and visited the USS Midway saw a full size F4U !!! Then went to do Hollywood now back in Vegas I didscovered a new game I quite like so I am playing that and lying by the pool So far so good. Not done a turn in 10 days so starting to get withdrawal symptoms but both my turns are on my home PC in the UK ;((

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (9/11/2010 5:50:05 PM)
OK I am back done 2 turns so far I am in the midst of re deployment and build up I am steadily transferring striking power to SWPAC and SOPAC SEAC still has some strike power but its now on the defensive for a while. I will update in more detail future intentions in a few days whebn I have sorted out my plans !!!

Andy Mac -> RE: Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (9/15/2010 10:52:51 PM)
OK got a hard decision to make PZB has most of KB doing a flybye of the Marquesas Not a huge problem as I have very little in the area but about 700 miles due north I have 6 Fleet Carriers plus support its late 42 and IRL the USN would have went for them even with the RN along but i just dont know - I dont need to fight yet I can wait If I fight and lose I lose big because it will cripple my 43 offensive

Flying Tiger -> RE: Vegas Falls - LA Threatened (9/16/2010 7:08:30 AM)
how many carriers left in KB?? And what are the quality of your navy pilots compared to KB pilots?? And do you have ANY land based air you can add to the equation? Even 4E heavies - which wont hit anything obviously but just may wear down his fighters some.
