bigred -> RE: 44-1-22 (7/10/2012 4:03:27 PM)

This is a current look at the burma situation. I feel heavy pressure from the south and a buildup to the east. I sauspect FatR wants a decisive battle to destroy the 14th army. Similar to a fleet in being. Hmm, where should I fight, or should i retreat in to the jungle from where I came?.

I have not handled the defeat of his central burma army well. he probably will get about 40000 troops out. I had a chance to surround the army in magwe before I attacked, but I did not wait. I had a chance to send the 1st marines to rangoon, but sent them to tounggoo instead and lost the rangoon battle. These units retreated to the white X.

I was confused about this jap attack. I thought FatR would kick me off this road to prome. Maybe he has a supply issue. I am night bombing rangoon AF every night. Could be the heavy weapons of the Coast AA unit had an effect. I always liked the ma duce.

This was another strange result. I was concerned before but relieved after the result here also.

I lost a reinforcing CVE w/ 2 air units on it today. I see my ASW on my cve tfs is too weak. I have lost about 10 CVE so far. That is a 200 plane cap TF.

Feb 44. Hi guys . I am giving the good fight but cant seem to win for trying. This look at the VP level demonstrates the tall level of play I must make to even pull out a draw. If I go into 45 w/ a 2-1 ratio of jap to allied FatR will get a decisive victory. The china expeditionary force is on the move into burma to trap the 14th army.

YES, alot of fun and learning system from a good player. we will play 45 unless fatr demands an autovictory.

The allied TF is following an invasion Tf headed to Torokina. The jap TF is headed to woodlark where most of my TBFs are located. This battle occurred one hex nw of Woodlark. The kawachi has a speed of 34 and is able to avoid taking gunfire. The Kacwachi has been a problem for sopac over 1year. This operation was designed to bring her into the open and take Torokina at the same time. This operation cost me the Penn.

Thank god for PT boats. They nailed Kawachi 2hexes nw of Woodlark in route to patrol zone.
All my naval air was on standby but only one sqn of TBFs flew and they sank a destroyer. Really disappointed in this action. Maybe the FOW is in effect because we can see from the four Screenies abouve how the IJN TF has been carved down to size.

fyi: A essex class CV TF was in the adjacent hex west of woodlark when this battle occurred.
quote:

ORIGINAL: bigred

The allied TF is following an invasion Tf headed to Torokina. The jap TF is headed to woodlark where most of my TBFs are located. This battle occurred one hex nw of Woodlark. The kawachi has a speed of 34 and is able to avoid taking gunfire. The Kacwachi has been a problem for sopac over 1year. This operation was designed to bring her into the open and take Torokina at the same time. This operation cost me the Penn.

Today the USN CV Fleet w/ 4x essex and 2 CVLs make a port raid at Truk. Calculated risk attack. Turn in the mail to FatR.

It all started w/ a port strike at Truk on the 1st turn. Intel reported 40 ftrs in hex. But none where on cap, so the air fleet had a CLEAN SHOT INTO TRUK HARBOR!!!

TALK ABOUT TARGET PRACTICE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE SHOOTING DUCKS IN A BARREL.

In Burma, FatR is trying to turn my left flank.

bigred -> RE: IJN surface failure. (8/4/2012 5:48:56 PM)

But the shock I recieved when I saw the Kawachi Battle group go after my big carriers really scared me at first. I think the torpedo in the Kawachi from the PT boat 4 days earlier saved me. The CV TF evaded combat by outrunning the cruisers but caused me not to launch a second day of port strikes.

Then my Cvs turned on the Kawachi and ended her terror on the South Pacific. Man she was a dangerous creation by FatR and I am glad she is gone.
