Sadly , I want a no rules game but the effect(manchuko garrison used in china) borks the chinese in this senario. I must also apologize to you for changing the long run effect of this game. I should have assumed command using the original house rules.

I hope I have played a good china. It is possible I am to blame for the failure. feel free to publish this request on your AAR.

FatR: I can't activate Russians right now, as I'll need to complete some troop movements before that, even with the assumption that the border won't be crossed. Will it satisfy you if USSR will be active by approximately January 10?

Will it satisfy you if USSR will be active by approximately January 10? no, I want it now.[:D]
I note IJA army hq prep for USSR so your intentions are clear. I should be given time to relocate my troops as needed anyway instead of being forced to sit still and let u maneuver across the border for a best position...

Email to FatR.

I do wish for u to activate the russian front to supply the chinese.

Situation dicates no futher garrantee.

If u undergarrison the front i will attack, which would be in the long term interest of the russians.

Because of the above political comments I hope u do activate the russians and I hope u do provide a goodly amount of Manchuko garrison to keep me from attacking..

I have run many games with Active Russians and NEVER seen an Allied player act badly
When I pushed the envelope - invading Mongolia - they replied - locally - in Mongolia - until the cost
was so high I left the country

Russia and Japan cannot afford another major front in 1941 or anytime soon after that - so neither
should let it happen

But active Russians means the Japanese must garrison Manchuria - with planes not just troops - just as IRL.
IT also means the Allies can move things, control construction, etc - and that is simply the way it should be.

and more p70. I am looking for some night kills. These are not full sqns of 12 planes, but rather detachments of 4. The effect of radar seems to be that all the planes of the unit show up for the fight.

Night Air attack on Woodlark Island , at 104,133

Weather in hex: Heavy rain

Raid spotted at 15 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 4 minutes

Japanese aircraft
Ki-49-IIb Helen x 7



Allied aircraft
P-40N1 Warhawk x 10
P-70A-1 Havoc x 3


Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-49-IIb Helen: 1 destroyed, 4 damaged

No Allied losses



Aircraft Attacking:
6 x Ki-49-IIb Helen bombing from 10000 feet
Airfield Attack: 4 x 250 kg GP Bomb

CAP engaged:
35th FG/40th FS with P-40N1 Warhawk (10 airborne, 0 on standby, 0 scrambling)
10 plane(s) intercepting now.
Group patrol altitude is 9000
Raid is overhead
418th NFS with P-70A-1 Havoc (3 airborne, 0 on standby, 0 scrambling)
3 plane(s) intercepting now.
Group patrol altitude is 7000
Raid is overhead


Some CAP have air radar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Have yet to see one whit of difference in the capabilities of radar equipped night fighters over conventional planes. I have the black widow now along with night F6F, corsairs, and beaufighters. All have proven to be a non factor and have no more kills over the non radar equipped planes (what few kills there are) However, any fighter unit on night CAP regardless of type will severely lessen the impact of any enemy bombing attack. My only point being don't worry about night fighters as anything will do. They have no more use than any other fighter at night. Sad but true. It is an excellent way to make use of the small New Zealand fighter units or units with 2nd line aircraft.

This was my original letter to FatR.

I see my diplomacy is alittle off the original base when at first I did recieve a warm response.
quote:

FatR: I can't activate Russians right now, as I'll need to complete some troop movements before that, even with the assumption that the border won't be crossed. Will it satisfy you if USSR will be active by approximately January 10?


Then i began to press my original position with this:
quote:

bigred: no, I want it now.
I note IJA army hq prep for USSR so your intentions are clear. I should be given time to relocate my troops as needed anyway instead of being forced to sit still and let u maneuver across the border for a best position...


This is where I may have goofed up:

So give me an inch and i take a mile. In my first transmission I promised not to attack then later I said I would attack. Dont ever let me be a diplomat.




bigred -> RE: 2day turns (4/16/2012 10:34:31 PM)

Just converted tracker to 2 day tunrs. Intel made a auto load. never seen that before.

I agree. Any fighter on night mission appears to disrupt bombing runs with an "accidental" kill now and then.




bigred -> RE: 2day turns (4/17/2012 11:56:33 PM)

I suggested to FatR he needs to play to win..we started talking about russian rules then i realized I am causing problems.

quote:

I like the no rules game we have had. Let us stick to our original no rules game. Within a no rules game context redo your turn and have fun crushing a surprised russia(my complaining about an impending jap attack is a violation of our no rules agreement as I am trying to create rules).

Or not attack--please do what you think you need to do to survive...

to be clear--ok redo the turn.

no problem from me...


I do think at end of game we will have a real after action review and this will be part of the discussion moving forward. I am lucky to have FatR as a gaming partner. He is raising my skill level.




bigred -> RE: 2day turns (4/18/2012 1:30:04 AM)

With this look a victory point I suspect FatR is tempted to try to invade USSR and pick up 10000vps for a 44 auto victory. I would bet if he can form a pocket at Vladivostok he might get what he wants.

I had to reset tracker for 2 day turns so I dont have any history yet. I thought I had the VP situation under control but now I am not sure w/ the increasing threat of action in the far north.

bigred -> RE: 2day turns (4/18/2012 1:41:31 AM)

Sometimes it is helpful to me to paste the rules on the AAR so I can make a quick review of the rules.

Stanislav did not redo his turn. Looks like he cancelled his invasion of USSR.

bigred -> RE: 2day turns (4/18/2012 5:18:27 AM)

So I reviewed the russian setup. I found I was able to transfer out some planes from the vladavostock area and did so to avoid a 1st turn strike. I reset all land units to combat. The big problem is I dont have enough supply at Vlad. So I turned on the resupply from USSR to max out Vlad. should get to max in about 2 weeks. If FatR attacks in the next 2/3 turns I cold have a real supply problem. I can see the IJA intentions by the unit location mass.
Another problem is I have failed to upgrade my infantry to 43 class infantry. This could be a problem also(8000av 1943inf saved).

bigred -> RE: 2day turns (4/18/2012 5:27:19 AM)

In other news, the haabiki was sunk by a PT torpedo. A Jap DD flotilla bombarded Normanby island after I dropped a half strength tank battalion on the island. Engagement occurred in 0 moonlight. I dont like to fight surface engagements in 0 moonlight unless I have PTs in shallow water.

Then my day one airstrike arrived as ordered. Not much resistance as the armor cleared the area. But on day 2 the bombers switched targets and went into lae without orders as normanby island had fallen to the allies.

43-12-1: FatR wanted some action. So I wanted to see the effect of a daylight bombing mission over a two day period. City Attack.
