2nd July KB Banda Sea MKB unknown Banda Sea Dutch sub gets a shot off at the Akagi. Big Miss Ceylon Brit CL gets TT'ed, might not make it. China My troops above Kukong are starting to break. Ndeni Nells come in at night but hit nothing. This is the first airstrike from the Solomons. Almost everything is unloaded. I am starting to pull ships out of the area. I have another op getting ready to start and need the ships.

DOCUP -> RE: Operation Dumbo (4/20/2012 2:24:07 AM)
3rd July KB Java MKB unknown Ndeni Missed oppurtunity here. 24 unescorted Nells came in they missed all ships, but I had let the carriers go. Dang Rangoon B17Es hit the airfiels for 45 points and destroy 6 Bettys. Lautem APDs drop off some troops. Ambon Bombed by both of us. Koniu attacks the port and AFs. We go after troops. Neither of us do much damage. I am having a hard time engaging Koniu's fighters except on his terms. I will start a bombing compaign that will make him bring his fighters up on CAP. He doesn't have CAP over his bases or troops. Time to make him pay.

4th July KB unknown MKB unknown Ndeni I-172 puts a TT into the New Orleans but gets hammered for it. 6 hits on fire with heavy damage. New Orleans min damage. I-122 sinks an xAK. Noumea I-1 sinks to PGs Lautem B17E's bomb 2 IRs but face 28 Zeros. 5 B17s are lost vs 10 Zeros. Rangoon B17E's hit the AF again 51 more hits with 9 Bettys and several recon planes destroyed ont he ground. North Burma Our sweep dosen't fly, so our bombers get hammered by 65 Oscars. 9 Blenheim IV are shot down.

5th July KB unknown MKB unknown Lashio Allied fighter sweeps. Hurris IIb's, IIc's, and P38s sweep. Over 60 Oscars are there. 14 Oscars are shot down to 5 Hurri IIc's, 4 IIb's, and 4 P38s. Not a good show on our part. I was hopeing for more out of the IIc's. Ops screen says Boyington shot down 2 for his 7th kill but pilot screen still has him listed at 5 kills. Night bombing doesn't do much to the AF. Ambon Small TF either lands troops or supplys. 3 LBs and a PB are seen in this TF. the 3 LBs are tore up by CD guns. Not much more seen or done. I was hopeing for more kills from the sweeps. My 4 Es need a few more days of rest before they can take on 60+ Oscars. 3 Ops are being planned. 2 of which are kinda off the wall. I am holding off on talking about them just yet want to get forces into place and watch my intel.

6th and 7th July KB off Timor MKB unknown Darwin xAP gets hit with a TT from a Betty north of Darwin. Only 2 Marletts fly to defend this TF. 2 Bettys shot down 2 ops losses. Minor damage to the xAP. NorPac Gar dudes on an AKL 13 hexs south of Attu. AKL must have high systems it was smoking in the replay. Tokyo Halibut misses a nice size TF. 2 other TFs are seen but not engaged they are heading east hmm. Is this his routing or are these TFs heading towards NorPac? Bombings and the usual. Question I remember reading that it takes 8 xAPs and xAKs to load a Div. Is this correct? I know APs and AKs unload faster. I am setting up my invasion forces and want to unload as much as I can in one day. I do plan on putting some APs and AKs in the invasion TF.

"Regular Transport Ships. (Commissioned Naval AP/AK) in Amphibious TFs, unload at a Rate of 600 points per ship per turn." So load 1200 points per ship and its unloaded by midnight the next night :) At Pearl I find 8 AP's of the 2200 troop size and 4 AK's fit on the dock to get everything loaded into one TF .. then the whole division gets off all one one swoops .. worked for me at least :)

8th July KB Banda Sea MKB unknown Hankow P40Es sweep 11 are shot down for 5 Oscars. Wellingtons attack the AF without its escorts and 9 are shot down. Ambon Japs reinforceing TF comes under fire from the CD guns. 2 CLs take a few hits nothing major. lautem SAG bombards. 2 Jap IRs delib attack. They lose around 600 to our 150. Timor Operations are on hold till the KB leaves. Can't do much. Might try to resupply a few bases when the coast is clear. Luganville Koniu bombs at night and puts a bomb into a DM in port. Most ships are being pulled out of port here. Not a good turn for us. Planning and organizing future ops. Thanks Crackaces.

9th July KB Banda Sea MKB unknown Canton Nells show up and sink an xAP. It's been along time since I've seen any Jap AC in this area. Hankow Forgot to change my B25s mission. They took off and bombed Hankow's AF. 2 B25s are lost 6 Jap 2E bombers are destroyed on the ground. Not much else going on.

10th July KB Banda Sea MKB unknown San Fran Jap sub sinks a good xAK. Been awhile since one has operated in these waters. ASW efforts have been increased. Banda Sea Pompano dents the Soryu. That sucks but atleast we see and hit it. Maybe this will scare Koniu. It looks like he is moving his fleet out of the shark infested waters. Lautem 46 4Es strike the ground troops. 64 KIA recored. I am dissappointed in these results, Jap bombers do better with less. Got 36 P38s today. I am working on getting them into the pools. I have 12 in now and tomorrow I should have 12 more. I think I will send these guys to Darwin. I can use some range and offensive punch. Looking around I spotted one of my RAF HQ LCUs. They have been running thru the jungle for a long time now. They still have there TTs. I bet those guys are happy

I have had ~46 4E's strike @8000 in clear terrain, clear weather, 50% accuracy, 70 skill, unopposed by flak or CAP and take out 500~ .. I have struck @ 10,000, rain, rough/jungle, 40% accuracy, 50 skill ... and took out 40 ..lots of variables .. IMHO) The solution for the IFFB's is not to bork ground bombing with house rules.. but to avoid defending/attacking clear terrain without air superiority. I have had excellent results attacking IJA units moving in the open, no flak, no air cover with 4E's ...

I will have to look at the previous turn Crackaces. 11th July KB Java MKB unknown Nor Burma Japs sweep with 74 Oscars, 7 of them are lost but we lose 15 P40Es and 4 Hurri IIbs. Saumlaki We engage a PB with 2 DDs. We won't see that PB again.

Crackaces -> RE: Operation Dumbo (4/29/2012 3:18:58 PM)
I am no Alfred ... but note your shore batteries are 6" guns ... and the CL's were mauled .. Note this .. 172 Coastal gun shots fired in defense then 199 Coastal gun shots fired in defense So not only did the CL/DD's act as a sponge, but did not have the fire power to supress the shore batteries as more shots fired on the second phase than the first ..even with the CL firing at the guns .. I have a CL hit by a 5" gun and it is 7 sys .. those 6" shells [150mm CD Gun Battery engaging DD Makigumo at 12,000 yards ] I would say did something like 10 maybe 15 sys to Makigumo . having not seen the animation and observing any critical hits ..the fires I understand continnue to do damage to IJ ships at a faster rate than the USN? Just a couple of thoughts ..

DOCUP -> RE: Operation Dumbo (4/29/2012 5:05:49 PM)
Thanks Crackaces. Yes, I know those 6 in guns ripped him apart. I did see some fire and critical damage on a few ships. I now have 2 DDs reported sunk. I don't know about the fires doing more damage to IJN than USN. I can only hope. 13th July KB Java MKB unknown Changsha Massive sweep by the Japs 136 Oscar Ic and 12 Ib (haven't seen that one in the war before). We lose 15 to his 12. Not bad. Lautem Bombarded by 2 Jap CA's, bombed, delib attacked. We aren't doing very well here. Tom we are bombarding, bombing but not attacking. Lets hope we can kill some of Koniu's troops here. Rangoon I have been able to sneak a DD TF close enough to attack a 4 ship ASW TF. This will be an open water intercept so let hope the hit it and run. I do have some LRCAP if they can get back to it. more later

DOCUP -> RE: Operation Dumbo (4/29/2012 11:54:47 PM)
14th July KB unknown MKB unknown Lautem We bombard at night. Koniu bombards during the day. We both bomb ground troops. His Zeros take a beathing. We lose 3 Beauforts, 9 Zeros are reported as Op loses. We lose Lautem. Rangoon Our 2 DDs sink 3 SC's and they are still close to Rangoon. I see another ASW TF 1 hex away. I will divert them to attack them and then get the heck out of dodge. Changsha Oscars sweep again but this time they come in smaller groups and pay for it. Akyab Oscars sweep and meet Hurri IIb's. Air war total today. 37 total Oscar Ic's, 9 Zero's, several recon planes to 7 P40Es, P40Bs, Hurri IIbs, 3 Beauforts and what was left of the Dutch AF stationed at lautem. Tomorrow we will smack Koniu in the face with a wet fish. [sm=00000030.gif] This TF has been waiting here for about a week for a TF to come by. Its time to attack. This should make him mad.[:D]

Alfred -> RE: Operation Dumbo (4/30/2012 3:55:22 AM)
Technically fires on ships do the same damage to both sides. What is different is the Allies have better damage control parties (if it was toggled on at start) who can fight the fires better. The longer it takes to put out a fire the greater the odds that it will spread and cause more serious damage. Regarding the land combat situation on Timor. Try using only one unit to bombard instead of the entire stack. That way you conserve supply for your own forces, allows for the other units a better opportunity to recover morale/disruption etc and is just as efficient in dishing out disuption etc to all the enemy units which are in defend mode. The potential disadvantage is if it results in the enemy having a distinct advantage in artillery tubes engaging in counter battery fire, you could suffer more casualties to the unit. Alfred Edit: forgot to mention. Nice move on Shikkuka. Although in future you might be better off sending only DDs rather than a mixture of cruisers and destroyers.

DOCUP -> RE: Operation Dumbo (4/30/2012 4:40:39 AM)
Thanks Alfred. Long Time No See. Hope all is well with you Alfred. Folks, I have been thinking. Yes, it is scary. I think its time to pull out of Darwin. He now has 3 AFs within fighter range of Darwin. I won't be able to get supplys in or keep ships safe anymore. I think it will cost more than I have in the area to resecure those bases. But I may be wrong. If I am tell me now, so I can get moving on it. I should of kept with my plan to fortify that area from the begining. If I would of then things would of been different. Another newb mistake. I can supply Ambon by sub like I have been. She should be able to hold out for awhile unless he brings in more LCUs. I am just now building up Bathurst Is. Just to let you know what I have in Darwin and around. 2 CA TFs, 1 CV (Brit) TF. Alot of subs. 7 Fighter squadrons 12 bomber squadrons. I have 3 brigades 28% prepped for Saumlaki 2 tank units 30% prepped for it also. I have enough transports to drop them off. But not enought fighter support to protect them. I have an ID prepping for Koepang. So tell me your thoughts guys. I think I can come back to this area in the future but right now, it seems like a loseing fight.

Crackaces, Your right, I wasn't ranting. I expect it to happen. 20th July KB unknown MKB off Derby. Derby Koniu sends in a SAG made up of 2 CAs and 2 DDs. He meets 2 of our TFs consisting of a CL and 2 DDs each. Koniu lost a DD (Probably) we lose 2 CLs and 2 DDs. He says he will be back. I see another TF coming towards Derby. I have scrapped together a hodge podge group of ships to help defend Derby. 3 AMCs only one has 6 in guns. 2 DDs are patroling but low on ammo and fuel. I am rushing a CA led TF to Derby they will prob meet this Jap TF after it attacks my cannonfodder. Ambon Japs try to sweep my minefields. They pay for it. 2 DMS's take hits from our CD guns and an SC hits a mine. more later

2 turns to talk about. 21st and 22nd July KB unknown MKB north of Derby Derby Our 2 CA SAG meets a 3 BB SAG off Derby. Not good. We lose both CAs and maybe 2 DDs. I don't think we sunk anything. We damaged his ships but not that bad. Nanyang Small air engagement. We lose 2 Lancers for 1 Oscar. Port Morsby We sink an ACM in a port strike. Will have to rethink my plans now.
