Saros -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/21/2012 2:57:19 AM)

Palembang can pretty much manage to repair its own oil centers with the supply output of the refinery (980 supplies a turn in your case).

Oh wow, I hadn't thought of that. Good catch. Thanks.


EDIT: Okay, Jimbo, I've sent my moves to you Sun. 06:03 am and the ball's in your court.




larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/21/2012 2:17:29 PM)

I started to list all the fuel / oil levels of the Northern PI area but quit half-way done.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 1:30:58 AM)

Okay Jim....it's Sunday pm ( 17:58 ) and I've received your moves. What follows are the combat results from 13Feb42:


Wow, five hits on a sub in one attack.....it appears that the DD's are doing better ASW work than the PB's are doing.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 1:48:17 AM)

Uh oh, it looks like I may have some ships in trouble. The Allied PT boats are starting to swarm and I'm not sure my air cover will take
care of them all. I may have some surface assets that can help though.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 1:54:12 AM)

And then there was this night naval bombardment of Cebu. Not very many casualties even though we had three spotter aircraft
up spotting. The Allies must have been dug in tight.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:03:51 AM)

Oh no my Midway operation may be in jepardy........I lost a key AO and now there's no way to refuel all those combatants
at Midway. I'll have to see if I can round up another AO or scale back my actions around the island. Or something.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:06:55 AM)

And then my carrier-borne Zero's do a sweep of Midway and bag another Buffalo.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:09:45 AM)

And then there's this Jap air raid on Singapore. It went rather well I guess.

[image]local://upfiles/16287/70AF4C82836546E1BF71ED8F29C1D6B5.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 13Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:12:16 AM)

We had even better results with this air raid on Manila:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/01CB8C64FF594192BAB694797E4DB1B0.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:15:18 AM)

And then there was this Jap air raid on Port Moresby that didn't seem to do much:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/0B67D515E8D547038B68473EAC4D9431.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:17:31 AM)

But there was a productive raid on Manila by my Nell's:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/C812B7D1198E41258D4A8CD17DA4AFDC.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:20:16 AM)

And then there was this ground attack on the 8th Indian Bde

[image]local://upfiles/16287/BDE82B5A22464125B719DB738E32E769.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:24:28 AM)

This air attack took place shortly before the ground attack that captured the base:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/095420F8B12849D291727734600F839F.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:28:38 AM)

And then there was this furball in China against the AVG:

larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:31:27 AM)

And then there was this rather unproductive air raid on Java:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/FCFBBAF9561A429BB214715A71DD1BDC.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:35:55 AM)

And then there was this ground attack near Kuantan. I'm attacking at not so great odds because I'm in a hurry to get to Singapore.

[image]local://upfiles/16287/56C9188E07F94F6F8445237A0F9E8822.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:38:54 AM)

And then there was this attack on Manila....I've turned off the bombardment by the INF groups and I'm bombarding with only the ART
elements and the losses in people for me is less this time. That's a good sign. The beat down continues.

[image]local://upfiles/16287/069672A210994F5E87B8D7E23BB52FA0.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:41:54 AM)

And then the Japs captured Probo:

larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:46:56 AM)

And then there was a ground attack at location Bear Claw that saw some good results:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/073B75A4243D44DE81CA05F965C4EBF5.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:49:06 AM)

And then I did a nearly worthless bombardment attack at Port Moresby:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/EE13C160C3FB489CACA78814297A42C3.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:51:13 AM)

And then the Allies did their bombardment attack at Port Moresby and I lose a lot of people again.

[image]local://upfiles/16287/555841864FA54E7ABA5CCAAD31269127.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 2:54:05 AM)

And then the Japs capture their first port on the west side of Sumatra:

[image]local://upfiles/16287/5C236732AA904F91BADF0CFDF03A2C6E.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 4:02:15 AM)

I'm going to have TF 394 bombard Cebu again but I'm going to give them a home port they can't reach next turn so that they will be at
sea and will not have rearmed themselves yet. And this image below is the "before" shot to see what the AKE's have for supplies
before they rearm each ship. And I'm planning on returning TF 394 back to this base one at a time so we can see what it takes to
rearm that ship. In the case I have multiples of each kind of ship I'll just return that kind of ship and divide the number of supplies by the
number of that kind of ship in order to get an average figure about the ships of that class. Like a scientific experiment or something.

larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 4:13:15 AM)

Here's me setting TF 394's mission with a distant home base so as to leave them out over the water somewhere at the start of their
next turn so I can return them to base one at a time.

[image]local://upfiles/16287/B70A23D5715344B09989F8C108D9208D.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/22/2012 4:18:45 AM)

Here's me moving an AKE to another base so as to have two separate re-arm bases and so we can take statistics about two ships
at the same time next turn(s).

[image]local://upfiles/16287/5C0E4C50267E4CEB9D213E34BB46F881.gif[/image]




larryfulkerson -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/23/2012 2:39:45 AM)

Okay Jim: it's monday 18:38 and I've just sent my moves to you.

EDIT: It's 08:47 on Tuesday am and I've just received Jim's moves. Talk about a fast turnover. I'm impressed.

Hey you guys, Jim and I talked it over and we've decided to let this AAR lapse and for me and Jim to create our own AAR's for this game. So um.......I'm going to start an AAR where this AAR left off and continue on and Jim will cover the war from his perspective.




moore4807 -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/23/2012 5:00:13 PM)

It's Tuesday October 23 1145a and the turn is back over to Larry.

moore4807 -> RE: 14Feb42 combat results: (10/23/2012 5:26:27 PM)

!!! Alert !!! !!! Alert !!! !!! Alert !!!

"Now hear this"

It has been mutually decided by Larry and I that we are going to do seperate AAR's. Its only 3 months into a long war and it's been pretty obvious that Bullwinkle/Moose was right and it is difficult to maintain OPSEC even with our best efforts.

So coming soon is 2 "N E W" AAR's following the travesties and triumphs of the Allies and thier nefarious arch enemies the Japanese!

I'm taking suggestions for the new Allies AAR name,

"That Is All - Carry on"




moore4807 -> RE: New AAR / NO LARRY :) (10/27/2012 12:15:40 AM)

The AAR has split!

Larry Fulkerson has moved onto his own AAR. Best wishes and many thanks for his participation.

I originally was going to start another AAR but I couldnt see abandoning this one, as it is recognized and already started...

Sooo

Now that Larry isn't reading this, I can be a little freer with opinions and plans... I will try to post more pix but I'm not as talented as Larry and I will not be doing a daily AAR. I think a weekly report will fill in the blanks and will comply with any requests or advice if I'm able.
