I'm not for sure. I will have to check.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/2/2012 10:03:22 PM)
28th Apr KB unknown MKB unknown Ndeni 10 ship TF (recon says xAKLs) 1 hex NW of Ndeni. Not for sure its xAKLs this TF moved 6 hexs in one day. I wonder what it is. KB and MKB moves in 10 ship TFs. SAG won't reach it before my CVs get into striking range. My LBA hasn't yet attacked it. Burma Koniu is bypassing Rangoon. His troops are at Pegu and moving north towards Toungoo (15 units). Jap unit(s) appear close toTaung Gyi. This unit(s) is a long way away from proper air cover. I will wait then bomb it to death. Troops are withdrawing from Rangoon now. Most will make it out of the hex tomorrow. China Bombings at Ichang SS Drum bags another xAK. Java The Dutch soldiers are putting up a good fight againist an IG Div. They have with stood 2 delib attacks.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/2/2012 10:06:27 PM)
Zulu I have 15 with the possibility of more. I still have a few old DDs that can convert. I was waiting on converting them to DEs. Might trade some for one old BB named Wee Vee[8\|]

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/3/2012 11:46:47 PM)
29th Apr KB unknown MKB unknown Burma Pegu has troops heading towards Rangoon and up towards Toungoo. 2 units are heading towards Taung Gyi. I have ordered Fulmars are going to straf Pegu. 2Es will hit the others. Sweeps will also lead the bombers. Ndeni I sent a 4 DD TF to find out what the 10 ship TF was it was an 8 xAKL and 2 DD TF. We sink DD Odi (how is Garfield going to take this news) damage the other DD and rough up 4 xAKLs. 2 of those were in sinking condition. They were carrying troops. DD Cummings did most of the damage to the Jap TF. She took a shell and is lightly damaged. The other 3 DDs will go after a 4 ship TF, heading back to Laguna. Most of Rangoon is evacuated. Our bombers again didn't fly after the TF. I even put a fighter unit on Escort to help them out but no. Kendri 25 B17Es hit the AF mod damage and 11 Nells destroyed on the ground with 4 Mavis. His Oscars swept Ambon and found nothing. Christmas Island IO Captured by the Japs Christmas Island PO 2 Jap sub encounters. 1 US DD eats a fish and is in a bad way, with only 1 hit on the sub. Adak US IR is on its way along with a sqd of Helldivers and Canuck fighters. Zambonoga (sp) Invaded by Japs Puerto Princissa Invaded and Captured. Pu

1st May KB unknown MKB unknown Rangoon AF bombed large damage. Thats fine I don't need it anymore. We do lose 2 Fulmars and 2 P38s on the ground. Our ground bombings leave alot to be desired. Tulagi and area 15 ships sighted in 3 different TFs. Not much else to report besides DD Chushing sinks at Christmas Island PO.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/5/2012 5:10:13 AM)
2nd May KB SE of Ambon MKB unknown Rangoon The last of the troops will be leaving in 2 days. I figure about the same time the Japs roll into the hex. Koniu trys to bomb the main body of soldiers that left Rangoon. This cost him over 20 Sallys damaged with 4 shot down by flak. N Burma Sweep of 32 Oscars comes across my Hurris and Mohawks. Both sides losing around 5 AC. Darwin If the KB makes a port calling here, she will be met by 130 fighters. Lets hope he comes. China Hes moving his forces around. I have my foces at Ichang, I will test the waters tomorrow with a bombardment attack. Java IGs Div shock attack our Dutch troops here. They stand tall again. Adak Intel says an AA unit is prepping. I am trying to move some CD guns and more AV here before he gets here. I think I can get 250 AV here pluse maybe 16 155 CD guns. Lets hope. Besides ACM's what else will manage minefields? I don't see anything the Brits have that can do that. Also can an ACM manage minefields that are not MK 6 mines?

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/5/2012 4:59:54 PM)
Thanks Zulu and Stickler 3rd May KB Timor AO MKB unknown Ichang Ichang we loose 1,000 troops to air and art bombardment. Japs have 2 reg IDs and one Temp ID with 2 eng rgts. We have 1,650 AV to his 1,000 AV. I don't think that I can do anything positive here. So I am thinking of withdrawing the troops. Changsha we shoot down 3 Oscars for no loss. Our guys didn't even go after the bombers.[:@] Rangoon Koniu trys to bomb my main column of forces and suffers again. Around 20 damaged Sallys with 5 shot down. No damage to my troops. I am hopeing the last of our troops will be out of Rangoon tom. He must of had his troops on move orders because they are in Rangoon now. I do believe that he brouth alot of forces with him. I do see atleast 2 tank units. His troops are moving fast up the roads. Thanks Alfred on the heads up to move early. I didn't expect them to move this fast. Lauteum xAK is sunk by KB trying to escape. Subs have are being moved to intercept the KB. Pacific Ocean I see several convoys but can't reach them with anything. I don't think he has many AC in this area either. I am getting away with alot of movement close to his lines.

Makes it difficult to understand why the American unemployment rate remains so high when there are so many jobs going at HQ Zuluhour. Surely there are enough TWITs over there to allow for job rotation through DOCUP's HQ. Alfred

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/7/2012 1:07:26 AM)
You still got a job Alfred. 4th May KB South of Kendri MKB unknown Bases Captured Rangoon Zamboangna Iliolo Darwin Jap sub misses an xAK but hits an xAP. ASW TF is moving this way. Burma Jap forces are moving quickly. May have to retreat to northern Burma. China No more free supplies. Not much more going on. Troops, supply, and fuel being moved. Beefing up Adak, Burma and India coastlines. It looks like Koniu has alot of forces in Burma. 3 IDs with supporting troops to a recently abondoned Rangoon. A total of 21 units are moving around in Burma. I know of 2 tank units, 2 IRs, 2 AA, and 5 arty units. So thats 11 units Id'ed. There was 4 IDs in Java, can only confirm the IG Div now. China is full of troops. PM has a ID plus supporting troops. I know there are several Bdes around Rabaul and the surrounding islands and those prepping for Adak. How much more does he have?

Alfred -> RE: Happy New Year (2/7/2012 1:13:47 AM)
IIRC, in scenario 1 Japan starts off with 10 unrestricted divisions (plus several unrestricted bdes/regts). Of course 6 months down the track additional units could have been bought out with PPs. Alfred Edit: sheepishly replaced "done" with "down"

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/7/2012 1:20:09 AM)
Thanks for the Info Alfred. Lets hope he dosen't have eyes for the Timor region. I am beefing up the subs in the area. I also have 8 fighter sqds in the area also. Is it wrong to name a ship after your opponents home town?[:-]

Alfred -> RE: Happy New Year (2/7/2012 1:35:46 AM)
You have a reasonable chance that he might have placed Timor on the back burner. Seems that he is serious about conquering Burma quickly so he won't take away units from Burma. Particularly as you extracted yourself successfully from Rangoo. Those undefeated Burmese area units combined with the quality incoming fresh units will create a serious obstacle to further Japanese advance. Bear in mind two facts about Burma. 1. The monsoon season is about to start. The value of enemy supply depots therefore becomes much more important during the monsoon season. 2. Look carefully at your LCUs which have Burmese squads. You should consider giving those LCUs priority to take reinforcements because those squads don't get better with time. Best to use them in battle whilst the delta with the enemy stats is not too bad. 3. Given time to gain experience and fill out their TOE, the at start green Burmese area units can become useful. The secret is to not suffer unncessary defeats, hence the point of abandoning Rangoon rather than trying a fighting withdrawal. Alfred

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/7/2012 1:41:43 AM)
I see what you were saying about leaving Rangoon now. I've lost a few of the Burmese units to bombings. I think I will pull back from the open terrain to better defensive terrain and make a fight. I also think Koniu has moved most of his AF here. I haven't seen much in the other theaters. I am hopeing to beef up Adak before he comes. I think winter starts in a few months. I know he can still land and win but I have hopes. Get Adak up over 300 AV with CD guns, high forts and supply. Maybe I can throw another defeat at him.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/9/2012 10:28:54 PM)
Thanks Alfred 5th May KB around Kendri MKB off coast of NW Oz NW coast of Oz MKB suddenly shows up. Sinks 4 Empire class xAKs. I have alot of shipping in the area. Crap. They are running for there lives right now. Burma Japs are moving north. We bomb 2 IRs cause 60 cas. christmas island PO 3 DD TF runs out of DCs in 3 different attacks on 3 different subs, only 1 hit on these 3 contacts. more later

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/11/2012 1:01:36 PM)
6th May KB Makassar MKB IO NW Oz Kukong 1 hex north Japs delib attack one of my flanking forces. Japs loose 1,200 men to our 700. Ichang Chinese forces are withdrawing. They were bombed today, no fighter escort or sweep took place. Will LRCAP these troops, we might get lucky. Toungoo Japs attack destroying an RAF BF and a Burmese Bn. IO NW Oz MKB did not attack any of my xAK TFs this turn but some have been spotted. ACM sunk by Jap sub outside PH. I have a 1 CV TF in NorPac. With the KB and MKB away from this area. I may turn this carrier loose to go hunting either convoys or hit the HIs.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/11/2012 1:33:04 PM)
I am thinking of doing an airborne assualt on Terapo. I have 3 Ozzie Coy units prepping for it. I also have the reminats of the PM gang heading that way. I think Koniu will LRCAP Terapo when my PM gang arrive. I don't know if they can take the 1st Raiding rgt by themselves. Does anyone have an idea or thoughts on this move.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/11/2012 9:49:36 PM)
Zulu the ACM was heading to baeses that I was going to mine. I have a bunch. I converts some of the YMS's. 7th May KB North of Makassar Split MKB IO near Cocos Island Kukong North 1 hex A delib attack by the Japs comes off at 1 to 1. We both suffer around 800 lost. These troops and those at Kukong are not cut off but can retreat. I have 16K of supply at Kukong. Rangoon North 1 hex We lose 2 Burmese Bns and one Brit BF gets mauled. We provided some LRCAP over them. 3 Fulmars to up againist some Zeros and Betties. 1 Fulmar and Zero shot down and 2 fulmars crash on landing. Unescorted Anns show up18 of them went down in flames for no loses of our own[:D]. Chang Myi We did a nite AF attack. 3 Oscars and Sallys burn on the runway. IO near Cocos Island SMKB runs into a 2 xAK TF both retire then his SAG runs into it and sinks both ships. Atleast I know where he is. Timor Moving troops forward will start again in a few days.

I was hoping to find a thread on paradrops, let me know if you find one or keep me abreast of the results. DOCUP and zuluhour, There isn't a really good consolidated hex covering all aspects fo para operations in AE. There are however several smaller threads which between them cover the subject adequately. Usually the key issues regarding paradrop operations which concern players are what/where can be dropped air transport plane supply/troop capacity defence against paradrops As the specific aspect of concern regarding paradrops was not identified, I have ... ahem ... taken the liberty and selected the following thread as the single most apropriate for your needs. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2214610&mpage=1&key=air%2Ctransport%2Ccapacity� At first glance you might think it only deals with plane supply transport capacity but read more closely and it is more expansive. Don't make the common mistake made by many players of trying to attach too many expanded definitions of what constitutes a "point". In AE a "point" is merely the base measurement unit which is applied across the board. Alfred

Jap subs sink an xAK and TK. Operation Gamble is getting ready to go. More on that later. 2 air battles. One over Burma and one over China. We lose 13 AC to 15. We also burn 5 AC on the ground.

DOCUP -> RE: Happy New Year (2/14/2012 2:55:14 PM)
Just got the replay. That will be all for today. We get an engine hit on a sub off Chirstmas island. Jap subs miss off PH. A US boat puts a hot fish into a Jap AO heavy fires and heavy damage reported. This was off of Turk. Dutch at Malang repulses a shock attack. Chinese units above Kukong repulse a delib attack 1,000 Jap to 900 of ours.
