AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Jan 12, 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submarine attack near Christmas Island at 184,141 Japanese Ships SS I-17 Allied Ships xAK Zvir, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage xAK Zvir is sighted by SS I-17 SS I-17 launches 6 torpedoes at xAK Zvir in the middle of the South East Pacific... from my feeling, it´s like as every third TF of mine going throught the Pacific meets an enemy sub at some point... this can´t just always be the lucky stumble over, seems like the subs are reacting around like wild to TFs that get mystically spotted... we´ve installed the latest hotfix with a max reaction of 1 for subs, but as long as the subs aren´t disbanded and put into a new TF the new routine isn´t working and so the subs will still react at what they´ve been set under the previous hotfix... but within the next one and a halve months there won´t be any subs with reaction more than 1 left and that´s good news... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Truk at 112,110 Japanese Ships PB Takunan Maru #5 Allied Ships SS Pompano SS Pompano is sighted by escort PB Takunan Maru #5 fails to find sub, continues to search...

Also attacking Clark Field ... Also attacking 51st PA Infantry Division ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Koepang , at 68,116 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid spotted at 11 NM, estimated altitude 8,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 2 minutes Allied aircraft B-17D Fortress x 4 No Allied losses Runway hits 3 Aircraft Attacking: 4 x B-17D Fortress bombing from 6000 feet * Airfield Attack: 4 x 500 lb GP Bomb great number of Fortresses attacking... looks like getting them to fly off the small airfield is quite hard. Out of 32, only 4 took off... granted, a couple of them surely weren´t operational but seeing only four in the air was quite depressing... one more thing that really strikes me is the fact that while the aircraft replacement rates are absolutely not matching the needs to maintain our squadrons, halve of the aircraft are lost due to the squadrons withdrawing. So first you put the replacements into squadrons and two or three months later you lose all those aircraft again because the squadrons are withdrawn... so what to do? Not using the airforce at all until late 42??? [8\|] We get 15 B-17 for example and 3/4 of my B-17 squadrons will have to be withdrawn until 9/42 so in fat the 100+ bombers I get will all be withdrawn, which leaves you with not a single heavy bomber more in late 42 like you had at early 42. You gain nothing... Now you could shred all those squadrons with suicide attacks before withdrawing but this also cuts down your experienced pilots (which you can save before withdrawing). The situation with bombers is just depressing. Not even 25% of the US Army bomber squadrons can be used in ongoing frontline service as there are just not enough bombers around to replace losses of every 4th squadron if you leave the rest on the West Coast. Don´t know how I should deal with this, the bomber replacement is just a joke... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Christmas Island at 185,137 Japanese Ships SS I-17 Allied Ships xAK Zvir, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage xAK Zvir is sighted by SS I-17 SS I-17 launches 6 torpedoes while the AK would have been lost after the first hit anyway I´m quite happy that the sub spends another salvo... it was an empty AK returning to Pearl... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 65,105 Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 960 troops, 0 guns, 144 vehicles, Assault Value = 81 Defending force 819 troops, 5 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 25 Japanese adjusted assault: 20 Allied adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 20 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), fatigue(-), morale(-), experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: leaders(-) Allied ground losses: 596 casualties reported Squads: 18 destroyed, 4 disabled Non Combat: 12 destroyed, 18 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Units retreated 2 Defeated Allied Units Retreating!

I expect the enemy to cross the river within the next week... not bad, we didn´t try to do any delay of the enemy advance outside of Singapore and it´s 13th Jan now without a single unit in Singapore... and our troops will be ready for the enemy... we won´t hold the fortress of course but I expect to dish out some damage... will take some time to mop up the PI and Singapore for the Japanese... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Koepang , at 68,116 Weather in hex: Partial cloud Raid spotted at 29 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet.

Darwin´s airfield reached level 4 (99%) today... [8\|] hoped to see it going to 5 today... you may think that this wouldn´t matter anyway, the problem is that we´ve spotted enemy carriers some 12 hexes North East of Darwin coming South. Guess this is a reinforced mini KB or it´s KB itselve... don´t think it will be an invasion of Darwin but as it looks now I expect Darwin´s port and airfield being target of an enemy attack... seems like my raid to Timor with Houston, Boise and Co resulted in this appearance of enemy carriers in the area... Darwin has some nice flak so we´ll see if we can score some kills... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Brunei at 65,87 Japanese Ships xAK Kaiko Maru, Torpedo hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage PB Nako Maru #2 Allied Ships SS Sculpin SS Sculpin launches 4 torpedoes at xAK Kaiko Maru Sculpin bottoming out ....

[image]local://upfiles/13774/343B8C187DC14D008EA1E229835A0779.jpg[/image] We´ve spotted ships (probably merchants) at Makassar and sent out the Dutch again... the naval movement is completely screwed up in AE anyway it seems as we move right to the hex West of Makassar during the night (which means we did a full speed run and would have closed in during the day from one hex range ---> 100% nuts [>:]). Not just the movement is a bit off to me, it´s of course the allmighty we find, react and kill routine too that seems still to be more or less bulletprove. A superior IJN BB force takes us on in the hex West of Makassar and while the enemy was surprised, not susrprisingly, the round goes to the superior force. We damage a light CL (our 15cm guns scored several non penetrating hits on the enemy CLs, while their guns penetrated our armor) and a DD of which non seem to be in danger of sinking. We´ve lost a light cruiser and two DDs (already sunk). Yamashiro was clearly the vessel with the best naval gunnery as her 36cm guns ruled this engagement. The BBs haven´t been spotted before in this region and while I´ve got more than a dozen subs in the area we were completely surprised.

Group patrol altitude is 15000 , scrambling fighters between 2000 and 16000. Time for all group planes to reach interception is 6 minutes as expected, enemy carriers showed up North of Darwin. What wasn´t expected was the fact that we´ve faced full KB (less Zuikaku) it seems. It was good to see that the Zero on escort flying lower than our Cap is far from the UBER all killing force it is when flying stratosphere sweeps. Our Warhawks mostly had very low exp but had their air and def skill all above 50 already. And this pretty much answers my so far question if it´s enough to have skill in the mission you want to fly without having a good overal exp. The answer is yes, it´s enough to have skill in the needed area. Our Warhawks really did a good job, we just haven´t had enough fighters to break through to the bombers. We´ve shot down more Zeroes over Darwin than we lost P-40 and some Zeroes were lost on their 5 hex trip home to their carriers. What really is depressing is the fact that flak seems to be completely useless in AE. I´ve considered Darwin having a very strong flak defense, but the flak obviously did nothing to the low incoming Kates. When I think about the two IJN CAs that shot down 3 B-17 with their flak then I wonder what a hundred+ Allied flak guns of all calibres are worth. Not much it seems when we look at this result. The airfield is more or less trashed, we suffered 32 airbase and 63 runway damage. The harbour was untouched and it was obvious that 100% (yes, ALL) Vals were set to naval search as I got a couple of dozen messages of "Val spotting xy" during the replay but none of my ships has been attacked. This clearly looks like an attempt to clear the waters around KB of subs. Know this vacuum cleaner tactic from WITP, not sure it will work in AE. Going from just this attack I´m not sure it was worth it for the IJN. Will be interesting what comes next... IMO it´s a fault to have KB in this area as I can now clearly shorten my shipping lanes coming from the West Coast as long as I know what KB is doing. Wonder if we´ll see an invasion of Darwin but for now we´ve not spotted any incoming merchants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Samah at 72,70 Japanese Ships xAKL Ryua Maru xAKL Fukuyama Maru PB Yokae Maru Allied Ships SS Snapper SS Snapper launches 4 torpedoes at xAKL Ryua Maru Snapper diving deep ....

In total the IJN seems to have lost more ac today than we did so up to now it wasn´t worth to attack Darwin IMO. The P-40 really did a good job and it once again proves how UBER stratosphere Zero sweeps are when they achieve 5:1+ kill rates on those stratosphere sweeps but lose 2:1 when being on escort. Not to forget that these Zeroes shot down today are the best on the map. It makes me confident that my sweeps will be at least as effective when we start to go on the offense with far faster aircraft, which then will dive down from 30.000ft (or even higher if the enemy decides to fly Cap together with Sputnik)...

This is the situation at the moment. I´ve spotted carriers yesterday (better say several Kates and Vals were spotted by my subs first). We´ve also saw KB as a TF on the map even though we had no aircraft on search that far North (must be the same ghost that is spotting ships during the night all the time). As I´ve thought KB would (could) not be moving throught the shallow waters South of Sorong I´ve placed my subs in the shipping lane towards Kendari as I´ve thought KB would move South next to Ambon. Been wrong again and been also pretty surprised about the high speed run. Absolutely unexpected that enemy carriers could move into attack position North of Darwin when they´ve been spotted near Sorong yesterday. Not much to kill for KB in this area so wonder what will be next. [image]local://upfiles/13774/B5FDAEFB02D14C078DBF04A5D23B0017.jpg[/image]

While Kates attacked Darwin at 9000ft yesterday today the Vals came in and of course didn´t suffer from flak either. Heck, how many flak do you need to actually do some damage? Not one bomber was lost over Darwin and if you look at their attack alt then this just makes me scream... [sm=Christo_pull_hair.gif][sm=crazy.gif] We´re back in WITP where flak seems not to be existing. So far I´ve thought using divebombers against bases would result in at least some immediete losses, this attack proved me wrong. I kept those ships in port as I just didn´t care about them. I´ve moved out an AS and an AG which made it out without being spotted. A very small escort, would have been nice to see 50 Warhawks in the air, but there´s only one fridging fighter squadron in Australia at this date. Will receive two more Warhawk squadrons (not combat worthy as thei´re completely untrained) tomorrow (and two more the next week). But those five squadrons will be withdrawn 15th March again, so filling them up with aircraft from the pool seems to be complete waste, the same goes for all my bomber squadrons. 90% of them will be withdrawn in the next 6 months, so giving them precious bombers seems like a waste. But this would mean we would not have any bomber sqaudrons for attacks until early 43. Great eh? The question now is what is nearly the whole IJN doing around Timor? Makes it easier for me to route my convoys from the West Coast though, saves me a week one way to Australia... In the end, halve a dozen Vals are reported lost to ops, probably only one or two crews lost if the 6 op losses are correct anyway. Note though that the Japanese overtook us in total aircraft losses today.

As I haven´t received a turn so far today (bank holiday in Austria today and last day of my 2.5 weeks xmas holiday), I´ve succesfully installed Tracker today and toyed around with it. Wonderful little programme, gives me interesting intel and will also make the AAR more interesting I guess. So while my opponent probably is out for skiing I´m looking into tracker. Here´s the intel for the total ship losses so far: [image]local://upfiles/13774/5F95EAA63EDC4B2AA5572843C7F25EB1.jpg[/image] as you can see, ship losses on both sides aren´t dramatic at all. Needless to say, our ship losses occured mostly in the SRA (not one ship except the subs made it out of Manila for example - the uber surface "find and destroy" naval routine was bullet prove), probably two dozen ships killed by IJN subs so far. While the enemy lost two TFs to my two CVs going to Australia early on and the rest was sunk by subs.

castor troy -> RE: AE = Alpine Edition <-> Rainer79 vs. ranting castor troy (1/6/2010 3:28:38 PM)
Using Tracker, I´ve also took a look into the stats of some important aircraft and I can´t say it was amusing. While our Warhawks are dead meat against Zeroes (and more or less Oscars too) I looked at the P-40K which will show up in late 42 in quite nice numbers (will be the main Army fighter until mid 43). So I´ve compared it with the expected main fighter of the enemy that we will surely face in far higher numbers than we have fighters in total, the Ki-44-IIa Tojo which will probably be produced until early 43 or even longer as the IIb has a wrong db entry and has completely useless 40mm cannons. So I wouldn´t be surprised if Rainer will keep on producing the IIa in high numbers until the IIc which has the armament of the IIb with 4x12.7MGs. [image]local://upfiles/13774/1403C30A5B1E4E5C8FB5343F110D5E6B.jpg[/image] But back to the IIa which we will face in 42/6 at the latest. It was a shock for me because first I´ve thought the P-40K would have quite nice stats, especially being faster than the enemy aircraft until I´ve looked at the Tojo. Oh boy, the enemy fighter is again the overall far better aircraft and will eat ours for lunch, just as the Zeroes do with our P-40E. This is the scenario with the slight (?) advantage for the Japanese and we´re also playing with non realistic R&D, so we could even face it earlier in big numbers. There´s the hr about keeping R&D somewhat realistic which means not producing sped up aircraft earlier than a couple of months of their normal arrival. But still, I´m pretty sure the Japanes will completely outproduce us with first line fighter aircraft until mid 44. Can´t say I´m amazed and with the absolutely easy pilot training (of which I´m sure Rainer will do extensively), you have combat ready pilots within a month. I´ve set my rear area (and most frontline) fighter squadrons on training right from the start and all of them have reached air and def skill between 50 and 60! So within one month the useless replacement pilots gained enough skill to be quite a match for the enemy (as seen over Darwin when my Warhawks took on KB´s UBER Zeroes on escort). Ok, the Japanese get fewer replacement pilots so it probably will take them longer (perhaps 2 months) to train for frontline duty but this still means they won´t run out of skilled pilots for a very very long time, as it seems easier to have combat ready pilots in AE than in WITP now. In WITP it took me 3.5-4 months to have combat ready pilots for frontline duty when doing onmap training (not the training order but bombing runs). I´m not impressed at all by the Allied...

Then I even looked at the aircraft that will clash in the far future. The P-38J will be the most important escort for our heavy bombers as there aren´t any other long range fighters available in higher numbers at the time the J-version of the Lightning will arrive. By then, the enemy will have the first version of the Frank coming out of the factory and again it was a shock at how good the fighter is in comparison with what we will field. Not sure if the 29mph speed advantage of the P-38 is really a killer and it´s probably compensated by the twice as high man rating of the Frank. The Frank carries enough guns to be a killer and as we´ve mostly will meet them on Cap while we will be on escort it could become a real mess for us.

And here´s the bad news of the day, although already expected anyway. The enemy is going to invade Darwin. After invading Port Moresby in late December we are now probably facing more than one division invading Darwin (accompanied by the whole IJN it seems). The pace has been SLOOOOWED down, can you feel it? [8\|] [image]local://upfiles/13774/1CDB5CA0DDF74A29AA195411BA827751.jpg[/image]

[sm=crazy.gif][sm=crazy.gif][sm=crazy.gif] this is the complete joke I´m talking on the mainforum about... the only way for the invasion to lose troops is due accidents... what a fridging joke... up to now, the counterfire accounted for 22 casualties... this is what happens in the game if you do an opposed landing that should shred a good part of your troops to pieces... it´s just not working, the game as it is now is in a better Beta state and that´s it... sorry... how this slipped through the testing is beyond me though. The devs decide to take out the routine that fires on the landing troops completely and were obviously thinking that the only cause of dead/wounded during an opposed landing would be accidents? Looks like they´ve watched Rambo too many times... if this is true for the Allied later on too - and I guess it will as it´s the same not working routines - then landings will be funny... it´s like unloading in a friendly port when the TF is too big to dock and you lose some equipment during disembarking... so if the troops will be prepped it will be a cakewalk to land a dozen division on a hostile beach because a) the CD routine is complete bullocks and b) the routine about the beach being defended is not existing anymore - which is even more ridicoulos as the CD routine is just not working but the other one was taken out of the game... let´s stay talking about films: don´t watch Rambo but watch the first 10 min of Saving Private Ryan... landing on a hostile beach is no PICKNICK, unfortunately in AE the devs made it being a picknick as the routine was taken out...

[8\|] no, Singapore and the PI or Burma are not uncontested, they will fall at the usual timescale, if not earlier (Burma is overrun by the IG div already)... with the Amph Bgd not landed and the rest of the troops aboard the ships, I guess Rainer has planned to land 800+ av... After the loss of PM I´ve planned to move the 18th Brit division to Darwin but the TF was two days out when we spotted KB moving on Darwin, so we turned around again... once again the Japanese can move so fast that we can´t do anything... the 18th div is coming in on a transport TF by default so I first had to unload at Perth to form an amphib TF to be able to unload them at a smaller port again... with the British, I would have had nearly 700 av behind level 2 forts... I was able to bring in an Indian bgd earlier, which now proves to have been a fault as we´ll lose for sure... only advice I can give myselve is that you can´t defend anything but the West Coast if the Japanese player wants to take it and knows how to take it, therefore, don´t even try to bring in troops if you can´t bring in the hammer... and you can´t, because the hammer would have been three front line divisions for Darwin and that´s impossible to do until mid Jan 42 because the unlaoding alone would take the Allied three weeks at this level 3 port and probably not even all equipment could be unloaded... that´s the next joke, I´ve got things on ships that I can´t even unload from an amphib TF at a friendly port size 3 for example, the Japanese unload everything over a hostile beach all the time... lol... I´ve also tried to pick up things from atolls (6 inch CD guns for example) and couldn´t load them onto amphib TFs, probably due to load restrictions... another time lol, if I can´t pick them up from a size 1 or 2 port onto an amphip TF, how did the fridging things get there? Ahh, they were probably manufactured at the Pago Pago arms company... [8\|] I´m getting all the time messages of TFs (amphib) that they can´t completely unload at some friendly port (up to size 3), the enemy keeps throwing heavy weapons onto hostile beaches... nice... Darwin is lost, expected to happen within the next two days... slooooooowlyyyyyyyy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but the biggest joke (my first impression) is coming here: Ground combat at Singapore (50,84) Allied Shock attack Attacking force 32781 troops, 394 guns, 180 vehicles, Assault Value = 1210 Defending force 51418 troops, 579 guns, 571 vehicles, Assault Value = 1578 Allied adjusted assault: 522 Japanese adjusted defense: 1889 Allied assault odds: 1 to 3 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), leaders(+), fatigue(-) Attacker: shock(+) Japanese ground losses: 1390 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 96 disabled Non Combat: 5 destroyed, 88 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 36 disabled Guns lost 7 (0 destroyed, 7 disabled) Vehicles lost 29 (3 destroyed, 26 disabled) Allied ground losses: 3933 casualties reported Squads: 146 destroyed, 399 disabled Non Combat: 237 destroyed, 285 disabled Engineers: 3 destroyed, 42 disabled Guns lost 16 (6 destroyed, 10 disabled) Vehicles lost 49 (15 destroyed, 34 disabled) Assaulting units: 3rd SSVF Battalion SSVF Brigade 2nd Loyal Battalion 11th Indian Division 27th Australian Brigade 1st Manchester Battalion 2nd Malay Battalion 1st Hyderabad Battalion Singapore Fortress 3rd Cavalry Regiment 2nd Gordons Battalion 1st Mysore Battalion 2/17 Dogra Battalion 5/14th Punjab Battalion 1st Malay Battalion 22nd Australian Brigade 9th Indian Division 24th NZ Pioneer Coy 111th RAF Base Force 224 Group RAF 2nd ISF Base Force 1st Indian Heavy AA Regiment 112th RAF Base Force 109th RAF Base Force 22nd Indian Mountain Gun Regiment 110th RAF Base Force 1st ISF Base Force Malayan Air Wing AHQ Far East 2nd HK&S Heavy AA Regiment 3rd Heavy AA Regiment Singapore Base Force 223 Group RAF 1st HK&S Heavy AA Regiment III Indian Corps 3rd HK&S Light AA Regiment Malaya Army 109th RN Base Force Defending units: 55th Infantry Regiment 15th Guards Regiment 23rd Ind.

Well, I´ve thought that this is my chance to throw them out again with more or less the complete Malaya Army as the enemy must have a disruption of 85 or even more, therefore their adjusted av today would not be higher than 3-400. Hoorey, we order a shock attack. And what happens? We lose 500 av in this attack and Singapore won´t hold much longer. I ticked out completely, cursing blody hell in front of my monitor making my gf asking me if I´ve gone nuts. Compared to the enemy adjusted av from yesterday, today´s adjusted av was 23 times higher and this lead to a disaster of course. So how could that happen. Rainer explained it in his next turn´s email: in AE, only a part of the attacking troops is shock attacking and most of them are coming over the river in perfect shape. This has been changed from WITP and while it perfectly makes sense to me, I didn´t know. Wanted to read it up in the manual but couldn´t find it either. I could also have seen it in the cr of yesterday as only 15.000 enemy troops shock attack, the base av was 1743 though, which could not have come from only 15.000 troops... but this detail I haven´t noticed either of course... I welcome this change in ground combat, for this PBEM it has wrecked my day though and because of this, I will lose Singapore at least two or three weeks earlier as the defenders are completely wrecked now... GREAT! [:o]

The enemy lands yesterday in perfect shape (hey, hey, don´t forget the 400 disablements from accidents and the 50 disablements from counterfire on the invasion [sm=Christo_pull_hair.gif] [sm=crazy.gif]. Clearly seen also is the fact that not even disruption is something you suffer anymore from counterfire and so it´s the expected cakewalk resulting in the first attack completely butchering our troops while the IJA suffers nothing... oh wait, 1 combat squad destroyed and 11 disabled... we have 85 destroyed and 66 disabled... must have been a perfectly realistic combat against an entrenched defender with a loss rate (death) of 1:85 in favour of the attacker. This is just stupid, the CD routine made it even worse... god, AE is getting me more pissed off than WITP at any time and this is more than surprising to me... [8\|] there are so many wonderful new features (some working, some not - many will be improved) and there were so high expectations to see ridicoulos things in WITP being improved, but some have been made even worse.

I´ve flown 40 Dutch bombers to Palembang and set them on 2 hex nav strike at 6000ft. This hopefully means they won´t kill themselve in an attack against mini KB´s Cap but attack the invasion TF. But they will all probabyl go after the heavy cruisers and not much other than flak damage will happen probably.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Jan 26, 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Babar at 75,118 Japanese Ships xAK Nichiren Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire Allied Ships SS KXIV Japanese ground losses: 41 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 1 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled SS KXIV launches 2 torpedoes at xAK Nichiren Maru Sub escapes detection a troop loaden AK is hit. So far I wasn´t quite happy with my sub attacks while Rainer wasn´t quite happy with his losses to my subs and with his ASW. Well, if both players are complaining it usually is good game wise. [:D] Nevertheless with this turn I have started doing statistics about my sub attacks, taking notes on the sub torps and their results: hit, dud, miss. Will do this until 1/43 (when the dud rate drops for the first time). Will be interesting how my did rates will look like by then. Can´t be seen as duds per torp but dud, hit, miss per SALVO though as we don´t get info on how many torps hit and were duds. As I´m taking notes on the salvoes, we should get a better result with our torps than the set dud rate (eg. 80% for the MK14) as you´re always firing more than one torp (mostly 4 or 6 at once) and there are most often more than just one torp hitting the target, hence giving you the 20% chance of a "boom" more than once per salvo. We´ll see... am thinking about giving an update on this every month until the end of the year. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Palembang at 48,91 Japanese Ships CA Takao CL Jintsu DD Sagiri DD Arashio Allied Ships SS Truant SS Truant is sighted by escort Truant bottoming out ....

He´s of course not that dumb to allow me to do this. Within the next couple of days Broome, Derby, Wyndham and Darwin will be in Japanese hands. Unfortunately Rainer is of the same oppinion as I am and noticed that the axis Rabaul - Port Moresby - Northern Australia is the one to take out as the Japanese asap as especially Northern Australia is a comfortable staging area for attacks directly into the SRA. With PM in Allied hands to it would be easy to support operations out of Northern OZ. By taking all these areas within the first 8 weeks of the war he has already knocked out my plan to exactly attack out of these areas. With KB being superior to anything the Allied can field until early 43 and with us not having any long range fighters that could reach the enemy, it has delayed our major strategic counteroffensive by at least 8-10 months. Of course I could try an invasion somewhere, but if KB shows up it would get uggly and this would further delay us. Even if the IJN would lose some carriers to, a delay would hurt us more than the IJN to lose 1-3 carriers. As we would be out of the offensive for 6 months again if losing a couple of carriers. And until the Hellcat I guess we still would lose more carriers than the enemy if a 1:1 force would clash. The Pacific islands (except those close enough to bomb Japan later on) and atolls being more or less useless in AE, I have yet to figure out a new plan what to do... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amphibious Assault at Derby TF 117 troops unloading over beach at Derby, 64,127 10 Support troops lost overboard during unload of Sasebo 1st SNLF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invasion Support action off Broome Defensive Guns fire at approaching troops in landing craft 9 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

Means Malaya is cleared, Borneo, Sulawesi, Northern OZ, New Guinea cleared, Philipines on the edge of being cleared too, Burma already in Japanese hands. Leaves us with Java, but Java is a cakewalk for the Japanese, so I wonder where those 5000 av will turn to. The enemy has 5000 highly experienced av, his troops will all be in very good shape as they more or less never took squads/equipment destroyed, the only shortage he perhaps has is shipping. But to be honest, I seriously doubt that and I also doubt that the enemy industry will run dry in 43 when the IJN keeps doing big style operations until mid 42. Too many industry reports posted in AARs already and all show a steady increase of everything, even during the expansion phase so I can´t see why it should run dry when the enemy secures far more res/HI/ref/oil than he actually needs. And even if so, just turn off some arm or nav factories and you can build as many ac as you want. And the aircraft are the main factor that keeps the Allied honest IMO. If Rainer decides to move on with his juggernaut it will be interesting where he will move to and how it will turn out. Some things are for sure already, if he moves on, he will soon reach the line where I will actually try do throw in everything to stop him. If he decides not to move on, we will see the most boring 6 months of an AE PBEM ever as I will just try to build up to be more or less ready late 42. It also takes another 6 months to get my damaged carrier out of LA´s shipyards again... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Clark Field (79,76) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 54381 troops, 599 guns, 926 vehicles, Assault Value = 1827 Defending force 40098 troops, 750 guns, 522 vehicles, Assault Value = 1035 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 0 Japanese adjusted assault: 809 Allied adjusted defense: 2254 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 0) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), preparation(-), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 1022 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 60 disabled Non Combat: 6 destroyed, 106 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 44 disabled Vehicles lost 47 (2 destroyed, 45 disabled) Allied ground losses: 3075 casualties reported Squads: 88 destroyed, 165 disabled Non Combat: 106 destroyed, 176 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 7 disabled Guns lost 6 (0 destroyed, 6 disabled) Vehicles lost 66 (50 destroyed, 16 disabled) Assaulting units: 20th Ind.

Sys already at 70+ so it will sink due to being out of fuel anyway. I´ve got one more problem at the moment, as I´ve got several subs going back to their homeport and they are ending up out of fuel way BEFORE they get there. Seems like the routine that sends them home for replenishment is sending them back way too late or they are reacting around too much and therefore running out of fuel. In any case, it´s a mess as this is the next argument that is absolutely speaking AGAINST using the new patrol feature. Once again, good idea, not so good implementation. I guess it doesn´t make sense if you start losing halve a dozen subs due to being out of fuel because they have not been sent home early enough and were kept patrolling around. Don´t like that at all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Cam Ranh Bay at 62,76 Japanese Ships DMS W-5 PB Eifuku Maru DMS W-6 xAK Kuroshio Maru xAK Kashiwara Maru xAK Ayato Maru E Shimushu PB Sozan Maru PB Eiko Maru Allied Ships SS Sculpin SS Sculpin launches 4 torpedoes at DMS W-5 Sculpin diving deep ....

Perhaps two dozen restricted on the WC and that´s it. With the withdrawals the frontline numbers won´t change a lot until early 43 when I start to get "some" more... while the months 5-12 in 1942 could be very boring in WITP, I fear they will be even more boring in AE as I just don´t have stuff to use.

The biggest problem is supply. Not surprising, I was NOT aware that there are several HI/resource sites in China that are damaged and they are all set to repair by default. Hey, great idea, I´ve spent ten thousands of supplies to repair them until I figured out that I´m running out of supplies in no time in China. This was around turn 45 or so... Chungking alone has probably used up 60k supplies for this as there was always enough supplies to actually do repairs. Wouldn´t something like this be better to be set to "do NOT repair" by default instead having the player notice it when it´s far too late? But who am I? Just a stupid player that thinks there are things that could definetely be enhanced... Using tracker I´ve notice a decline of 2k supplies in China daily, and since I´ve turned the repairs off, there´s an increase of 1.500 supplies on average per day. So this means on average there were 3.500 supplies spent per DAY in China from turn one to around turn 45. Lol, that´s nearly 160.000 supplies. But you only start to wonder when you check your frontline bases, seeing them with 40 supply (yes, 40, not 40k) while there are 3.000 av sitting in this base and being destroyed due to starvation. Stupid I´ve thought then and checked it. Just to see my rear area bases with damaged industry set to "repair". Surely something you check on day one as a PBEM player because you have to think about everything. I didn´t, so I´m stupid. Makes it quite easy to overrun China as I´m already out of supplies. Tracker says I´ve got some 55k supplies left. No wonder I´ve got several front line bases, alltogether with 10k assault value and alltogether with 200 supplies. [8\|] When repairing industry sites can be such a huge factor in the game and it can ruin the game then I just don´t get why such things are not just set to "do not repair" by default. I just don´t get it and am not trying to discuss anymore anyway. Why can it ruin a game (only talking about PBEM)? Because if the reason why you lose China would be supply and you don´t have it because you were unaware of your 100% useless repairs to your industry, then this can lead to following situation: China is knocked out completely and only a handful of Japanese units left there, the rest moves on... go figure... Russia is a beast in AE but as seydlitz shows, even without taking out China you can take on Russia it seems (it´s hard though), but if China is knocked out, Russia can be too. If the Japanese player thinks Russia isn´t worth the risk though, India definetely is. And show me how you defend India against the 99 exp Japanese divisions that result in 10.000+ av marching overland into India. THIS could be the point where I would think the non existing supply due to industry repairs would ruin my game. You can do your best, but without supply... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Tarakan Base Force, at 68,92 (Tandjoengselor) Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid spotted at 49 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet.

Townsville has just reached level 5 and can now launch the bombers with normal loadout. Excellent weather and I´m absolutely satisfied with the hit rate. What was surprising to me was the fact that there was no flak fire at all. During the Japanese invasion there was the 4th div and the 8th base force (IIRC). Seems like the base force isn´t there anymore. The af or the port have not been improved since we´ve lost the base. Intel still shows 24.000 troops there though. Probably only building forts. But no flak defense? Would mean no aviation support either and no ac at the base. Hmm, not making much sense to me at the moment... one bomber was lost to ops, this means at this hit rate we could fly a strike every second day to keep our bomber numbers stable with 15 per month as replacement. But what if we encounter any resistance...

Spending 150 pp to replace Percival wasn´t worth it at all, but what really broke our neck was my absolutely stupid shock attack the first day as I wasn´t aware of the new rule about river crossings. Without this attack we would have held out a week or two longer. That way, we lose Singapore 1.5 weeks earlier than real life. A result not to be proud of. But it also shows that two divs are enough to take Malaya as there seem to be so many rgts around that you still field an unstoppable juggernaut. Don´t forget how many other divs are marching through my territory at the same time already... except those in Burma, all have been moved around by ship and landed without losses. Can´t see what was slowed down, can´t see it. But me, I´m just stupid... as it stands now, I expect either an attack on India or Australia. OZ´s North coast is Japanese already anyway, so I would guess on India... got my two divs out of Burma undamaged so I´m ahead two divs compared to what is "normal". Both divs are in good shape but as it stands now, I´m not sure I can do anything when I look at the results so far. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kanhsien (81,57) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 3516 troops, 38 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 127 Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 0 Japanese adjusted assault: 122 Allied adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 122 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese forces CAPTURE Kanhsien !!!
