So I had 9 CVEs covering this invasion force headed to Babeldoab. I figured the KB would stay under LBA at Guam. Man was I wrong! My CVEs spotted the KB first an made the first strike with all torpedo planes. [image]local://upfiles/27655/472573DC77EA4CD1AB88B012FEDB4BD7.jpg[/image]

In this game in the past when a CVE TF ran into a KB the allied CVEs would get totally sunk. Not this Time. Maybe the F4u is having an effect.!!! [image]local://upfiles/27655/F9193A7245E6439CA637AD6DFC2B7AB6.jpg[/image]

This is the frame with the jap strike on my CVE tf. Because this is the 5th day of combat for the KB it appears they are weakened in their effort. So far no CVEs sunk..I wish my DD TFs at Bebel had a 1 hex react range. [image]local://upfiles/27655/EA780FF5C6A4478E8157AA8CCDBBCD10.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: It all started at Saipan (8/6/2014 10:29:42 AM)
44-11-20: At the beginning of this turn the KB was one hex northeast of Babeldoab...with 4 allied DD TFs at Babeldoab, and a large allied invasion fleet 10 hexes SE of Babaldoab w/ about 10 CVEs in escort. The Allied Fast carriers where located SW of Guam. Two allied DD TFs are located at Pagan. Jap Naval air has been roughed up by alied lba at Pagan an the CVEs SE of Babeldoab. In this case I did not press the attack. I still need a Fleet in Being an am rumming low on Essex class CVs. So I may have lost an opportunity.

bigred -> RE: It all started at Saipan (8/6/2014 10:35:07 AM)
The fourth frame below gives you the view of the location of the KB. FatR has ordered a withdrawal back to the PI. He has left two Tone class CAs at Guam who have not yet met their fate. [image]local://upfiles/27655/8AB447D75A844C48B7A2D5465225EF5A.jpg[/image]

KB air is really weak now. May have screwed up by not pressing. [image]local://upfiles/27655/34B7216C592A484FB20E7724392F51BC.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: It all started at Saipan (8/6/2014 10:45:56 AM)
Look at this bombardment result in screen 1. The Japs are taking damage. I wonder how low the IJA supply situation is. [image]local://upfiles/27655/7BA885AE1F74452A908F7CBB8180A957.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: It all started at Saipan (8/6/2014 10:49:57 AM)
My DD TF at GT got beat up by a IJN CA TF. Screen three is noteworthy in that 2 DDs dealt out alot of damage to the Tone TF at Guam. One of my subs later sank a jap DD involced in screen 3. Screen four is another sub action where a damaged IJN CV takes 2 torpedoes inroute to PI. [image]local://upfiles/27655/D8B1CCBCB21C4B54A51DA6B918091ED4.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: It all started at Saipan (8/6/2014 10:57:08 AM)
In screen 1 the sub fired six torps. Some missed, but some hit. The replay photo says no explosion. Arliegh Burke found what he was looking for at Kendari in screen 2.screen 3 is the afor mentioned sub attack on the damaged DD. Screen 4 is the continued reduction of Rabaul and the associated increase in experience for all these second line units. [image]local://upfiles/27655/413ACE3B2E904004B40901F6B84555BE.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: Babeldab falls (9/6/2014 4:19:51 AM)
This appears to be a example of the effect of army, corp, and divisions all at 100prep going after same hex(Babeldoab). SoPac , XIVcorp, 4th marines and 93th div all lined up for this attack. 4th marines and 93th Div are in chain of command of XIV corp.Throw in the 21st Bombardment group flying b29s.

KB has showed up at Singers w at least one extra division unloading. Intel reports 240000 IJA at Bangkok. [image]local://upfiles/27655/80B1F0F9D3594F06BD84BEA8A629E15C.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: IJ counterpunch (3/10/2015 12:47:48 AM)
Jan 7th, 1945. The KB has entered the straits and delt a mighty blow to allied airpower in the area. Allied night bombing of singers continues as the moon light drops with some success. Seems the Black Widow may be a night time game changer for the allies. The straits are mined by the Japs so it is a dangerous passage for both. I dont undrstand why FatR would put the surface KB to port at Malucca unless he is planning a raid up past Georgetown. [image]local://upfiles/27655/0AD1F7C965D34965A91BC3F088DD98ED.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: IJ counterpunch (3/20/2015 3:03:29 AM)
On Jan 7th FatR sent three SCTFs up to Medan. One started at Malacca and the other two started at Singers and arrived on the second day. My LBA was badly damaged from previous turn so I did not turn on LBA NAV air. The 1st IJN SCTF ran into numerous obstacles including PT boats, landing craft and the Allied SCTF and we did have a surface cpmbat. The following 2 Jap TFs sailed strait into Medan and shelled all my b24s. PT boat combat later in turn shows the Mogambi SCTF with one DD escort. Intel reports sinking 3 IJN DDs with my loss of 2 older DDs w/ VP value of 6/7. Those Jap DDs are valued at 10 and 13. [image]local://upfiles/27655/04A72EFFD609412CB162D2F635A28F98.jpg[/image]

bigred -> RE: IJ counterpunch (3/20/2015 4:21:16 AM)
Can FatR stop the allies at Singers and also keep Balik sea route open at the same time. I bet he splits his KB. [image]local://upfiles/27655/86FC82724F1745F392B1D24ACABDA080.jpg[/image]

bigred -> Palister engages KB at 5000yds (4/16/2015 12:17:26 PM)
quote: email to fatr: Also note the engagement with the mogambi does not list on my CBRT until I play the replay. Then the Mogambi battle takes the place of the CV battle on my combat replay. Do u think we lost data in transmission?. this battle shows up on my file 20 turn listed on the combat report button. When I play the combat replay (file 1)this battle disappears and is replaced by a battle with the Mogami TF.
