Saros -> RE: Game On!!! (9/14/2012 2:56:28 AM)
With your "insta airbase" idea I don't think level 1 AF's can fly LRCAP only CAP.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/14/2012 7:21:19 PM)
Saros: Thanks for that. I might be able to throw out some leaky CAP then. 4th Nov KB Truk or close to it MKB unknown Burma Japs bomb my bases in the north for little gain. Our planes don't fly. Coco's Jap bombardment decentagrates my CD unit. Had to buy it back. Marshall's Sub sinks a PB. That was about it folks.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/15/2012 3:09:00 PM)
5th Nov KB Truk MKB unknown China Bombings in the Sian area. Mandalay We hit a Nav Gd and Eng unit. 300 KIAs. We will sweep and strike again. Coco's Bombarded and bombed again. Truk Sub sinks an xAK. Japan Sub duds a bunch of TTs on an xAK but puts 11 3 in shells into it. Wotje Out of supplies. HI 2 ASW forces fail to find 2 different Jap subs.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/15/2012 3:32:32 PM)
CV TF will be in postion to lauch sweeps tomorrow. I don't know how the F4F4 will do againist A6m3a or the Tojo. My pilots are good thought.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/16/2012 1:47:55 AM)
6th Nov KB Truk MKB unknown China Bombings. I am going to put some P 40E's up at Sian to try and catch some of the unescorted bombers. Rangoon 4Es try and hit the AF at night. Not worth it. Mandalay We sweep and bomb the troops, another 300 KIA with 30 AF hits. We will do it again tomorrow. Coco's Bombed again. Marshalls Koni sends Helens escorted by Zeros after my CV TF. They get slaughtered. 15 Helens are sent out and none return. 28 A6m3a's are lost. 14 Wildcats are lost on our side. I forgot one sqd of SBDs and they flew a ground strike mission unescorted and got mauled 12 lost. This should stop some missions in the area for a few days. I see 2 subs around Wotje. I have some APDs dropping off some supplies tonite maybe they will smack one of the subs around. Carriers will stay in the area. I have 12k plus of supplies 2 days out so they will fly top cover. HI DE's again fail to find a sub. They suck. I don't think they have dropped a depth charge yet. They have decent exp.

Set the mission for ground attack and then naval attack to make sure the mission that are going out are the ones you want ... Always one check before sending out the turn ...

DOCUP -> US CV TF ATTACKED!!!!!!! (9/16/2012 4:28:08 PM)
7th Nov KB Truk MKB Timor AO China Nothing Burma We hit Mandalay again. 200 KIA reported. Britt DD's damage a sub, nothing major. Madras Japs attack the base but do no damage. Coco's Bettys (50) attack again little damage. Timor AO Subs take shots at DD's and miss. HI DE's attack a sub[X(]. They even damage it a little. Off Wotje Bettys and Nells escorted by Zeros attack US CV TF. Our CAP does wonders. After two engagements the Japs were sent home with their tails tucked between their legs. 51 A6m3a's, 11 A6m2's, 19 Bettys, 14 Nells were lost for 6 Wildcats, 9 SBD's, and 4 Avengers. US CV's launch 2 airstrikes on a BB SAG at Wotje. BB Kongo eats 2 TTs and 4 1000lber's and is reported to be on fire with heavy damage, BB Haruna eats 1 TT and 4 1000lber's and is reported to be on fire. CA led SAG will run into the area and hopefully engage this wounded ships. I am thinking of pulling out the CVs. Ent is almost out of TTs.

DOCUP -> RE: US CV TF ATTACKED!!!!!!! (9/16/2012 5:42:55 PM)
Koniu has lost around 80 A6m3a's in 2 days. In all he has lost 140 AC in 2 days. Whoa thats got to hurt. I am going to pull my CVs back to fix some sys damage and replenish its air wings. I am still sending in the CA's to try and intercept his BB SAG. Two BBs are hurt so hopefully they will slow the TF down. I doubt Koniu will do any more bombings soon. So maybe I can get some things done. Lets see what happens. Stay tuned.

DOCUP -> RE: US CV TF ATTACKED!!!!!!! (9/20/2012 12:00:03 AM)
8th Nov KB moving towards the Marshalls MKB north of Koepang Cox's Bazzar Jap sub takes 4 more hits for a total of 9 hits 3 penetrating. I figure this sub will have to return to base for repairs, but it has to get by my DDs. Mandalay we bomb again and KIA 300 more Japs. Coco's A Jap sub runs into a freshly laid minefield. It is reported as sunk.[:D] Koepang 2 TF's are spotted at Koepang. MKB is north of it. I will have to sweep with P38s to see whats flying around here. Hudson LRs will night bomb with some B26's. HI Jap sub is attacked with 3 penetrating hits.

zuluhour -> RE: US CV TF ATTACKED!!!!!!! (9/20/2012 12:01:18 AM)
I see the tide beginning to turn....

zuluhour -> RE: Game On!!! (9/20/2012 12:02:16 AM)
Does tracker do that with CV air groups as well?

zuluhour -> RE: US CV TF ATTACKED!!!!!!! (9/20/2012 12:08:28 AM)
Interesting what we believe from allied intel sources, before the game ended and I got THINZ's password I thought I downed about 60 aircraft on the last day, but when I checked his intel it was over 130! Some of my recon in Burma was also greatly over estimated. At Mandaly I thought I was facing upwards of 700av accross the river but it turned out to be 145!

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/20/2012 12:08:33 AM)
I am not using tracker. I could not figure out how to install it[:(][&:].

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/21/2012 12:02:20 AM)
Kurt: I hope the tide is changing but not sure just yet. KB moving towards the Marshalls MKB SW of Koepang China Sian Bombed by Sally's, AF is closed down. Hengyang 10th and 104th IDs prepping for this location. Might bomb them tomorrow just to remind them their is a war on. Burma Rangoon We notice a small TF here. Forming up a SAG to go and investigate. Koepang P38s find nothing. MKB moving SW. CAP is up over Derby. I do have some ships moving away from Derby. So Koniu might find them. Marshall's KB is between Ponape and Kaussie islands. Wotje now has 2k worth of supplies with several xAKs unloading now. I might have them run from the KB. APDs damage a sub at Wotje. They will drop off supplies and run back home to get some more. Lots of subs taking shots at ships nothing goes boom. Some ASW still nothing that went boom. Brisbane I broke the Oz ID down to maybe get more replacments. They are coming faster than before but not fast enough. Can I say that I would love to go to Ozzie land, but I'd have to take my wife.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/21/2012 8:20:17 PM)
10th and the 11th Nov KB moving back towards Truk MKB unknown China Sian AF and surrounding units are bombed and bombarded for no real loses. AF is still closed down. Hengyang We kill 140 troops on the ground. Changsha Tojo's sweep and meet stiff resistance. 42 Tojos are reported as lost. Our loses are 14 P40E's, 4 P40K's, and 4 Lancers. Burma Mandalay We kill another 400 or so. Looks like these units are leaving the open hex. North coast of Borneo We miss a big tanker. Truk A sub misses a Jap CV[:@]. But we do hit the Kongo with a live one. Koniu says its probably out of the war if it survives. Maloelap Jap sub sinks an xAK. HI SC's damage I-1 reported to have heavy damage. We also nail another sub just to the south of the I-1 attack. Intel 29th ID is prepping for Wotje. Jap paratroopers are prepping for Terapo.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/22/2012 6:16:10 PM)
12th Nov KB unknown MKB unknown Tulagi Our 2E's find a troop convoy and hammer 6 ships. I suspect 2 or 3 will sink. I am sending a small SAG up to meet it. If it is still in the area. Maloelap Koniu bombs the AF and port. He sinks the ACM and AGP in the harbour. Nothing major this turn. Waiting for everything to be in place for Op Shoestring.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/23/2012 5:48:43 PM)
13th Nov KB unknown MKB unknown China Sian Japs bomb and bombard some LCU's. Wotje Japs sink an ACM and 2 xAKs. I think I will set up a CAP trap at Maloelap. I see only 75 fighters at Roi-Namur. We each damage a sub this turn. I would like to start getting supplies down to the north Burma. I thought the Monsoon season was over. If I had supplies flowing south from India I would take Mandalay and a few other bases. My Oz ID is not really taking troops. HMMM Will have to figure that out. They have plenty of supply with a command HQ in the same base on rest with plenty of replacements.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/23/2012 8:14:21 PM)
14th Nov I only have the combat replay. KB unknown MKB unknown Sian Japs bomb and bombard. Rangoon We sink an SC and xAK. Wotje Bombed but little damage. Lots of ship ASW action around the HI but no hits.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/24/2012 11:08:30 PM)
Got the turn. Looks like the 8th ID is prepping for Johnson Island. Moving troops to counter this, if it really happens. Kongo is still alive and barely moving Koniu has alot of ships with it right now. I have redirected subs into its projected travel path. Rangoon I see some more ships around. I am sending my SAG back into harms way. Wotje/Maloelap Sending in more supplies. Waiting for the grease monkeys to fix some broken AC before sending them back to Maloelap. If I catch Koniu's planes and down alot of them. I will bring in some P38s and B25s. Sian I see a chance at either scaring Koniu to move some of his forces or be cut off.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/25/2012 8:23:14 PM)
15th Nov KB moving towards Roi Namur MKB unknown Sian AO Bombardments. Rangoon Our SAG meets and Jap SAG. Our CL is sunk and DD damaged. Wotje Bombed AF is closed again. KB is moving into the area. Not for sure why. One of my subs missed an AP just ahead of the KB. I don't think its an invasion TF only 5 ships reported. So CAP trap is on hold.

BBfanboy -> RE: Game On!!! (9/25/2012 8:32:55 PM)
Just caught up on this AAR - enjoying the tension as both sides still have claws! I think those 5 APs are likely for withdrawing units - the Marshalls are now a lost cause for the Japanese.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/25/2012 8:52:54 PM)
Thanks for reading and posting BBfanboy. I can only hope that he thinks that. I am kinda weak here at the moment all my supplies are gone and supplies take forever to offload. I have seen fewer fighters at his bases the past few days. I have to causing a huge drain on his fuel by now. Yes the game is full of tension. Both Koniu and I are about equal in experience, but I think Koniu is a better player than me. I do think its time that he started to make his defenses and halt most major ops. I can see some holes in his lines. I have been quiet in some areas because of this. Just waiting for my toys to arrive.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/26/2012 9:37:59 PM)
Updated to new beta. 16th Nov KB around the Marshalls MKB unknown Sian AO Jap bombards our Chinese LCU's. Hengyang We bomb his ID's in the open hex. Maloelap RO boat puts a TT into an xAK unloading supplies. DDs will later put a big hurt on it. I think it may have sunk. Helens attack the DD's and miss. Supplies are to low for fighter ops. That 5 ship TF that I spotted moving towards Roi Namur. Well it was 3 DD's and 2 AR's. They are not at Kuasie Island with the Kongo. KB disappeared off my Nav search radar. Lots of sub and ASW action this turn.

BBfanboy -> RE: Game On!!! (9/26/2012 11:06:26 PM)
Should "not at Kusaie Is." read "now at Kusaie Is"?[&:] Seems like a strange negative reporting in the first instance.

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/27/2012 9:22:04 PM)
17th Nov KB unknown MKB unknown Sian AF bombed. LCU's bombed and bombarded. Don't know what Koniu is trying to do. My supply lines are open and working great. All he is doing is giving me good exp. Hengyang We bomb the troops across the river. 250KIA Merak SS Trust hits a mine and will sink tonite. N Borneo We miss a tanker. Maloelap Japs close the AF. Johnston Island xAK is TTed it might make it to Johnston port Japan We sink an xAK. BBfanboy you are correct. The convoy is now at Kusaie Island

zuluhour -> RE: Game On!!! (9/27/2012 11:11:18 PM)
Map of China pretty please...

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/27/2012 11:23:14 PM)
Since you asked so Nicely. [image]local://upfiles/35564/F7F0DCEC181E41E98889AC5F8C95C18E.jpg[/image]

zuluhour -> RE: Game On!!! (9/28/2012 7:11:35 PM)
Do you know whats east of Sian? SE of Siam requires risky math IMHO trying to keep him at 1:2 odds. You have terrain but also supply issues I imagine. Let me know if you need the supply multipliers from Alfred. The #2 hex is the key. I do like the way Chinese formations can shred an IJA unit if they get to uber confident. I imagine he is bombarding for recon, a feature I abhor, and knows your AV but not your adjusted AV?

DOCUP -> RE: Game On!!! (9/29/2012 2:01:15 AM)
18th Nov KB unknown MKB unknown Sian Japs bomb a stack and kill 600. Henyang Koniu set a CAP trap. I lost 29 to his 19. Most of these were Chinese, so not replaceable. N Oz CL sinks and xAKL and AM. Wotje AF bombed and closed. Kurt: There is 2 units in one hex and 2 in another. Iknow of 1 ID and 1 BDE. I see that he is moving atleast one unit towards my Chinese stack to the east of Sian. I have over 1200 AV behind atleast 1 fort there. Lets see what he can do with them. They are ok in supply.

zuluhour -> RE: Game On!!! (9/29/2012 2:54:39 AM)
Actually, judging by the map, you have done something right in China to have supply to all the major cities on the Yangtze. 1200av in urban terrain supplied could be a IJA squad buster. Don't forget to check leaders. Something must be wrong with me, I am getting attached to the Chinese front.
