quote: ORIGINAL: JocMeister quote: ORIGINAL: Lokasenna Actually, the comment stays even if you save over it with a new scenario. As in you could have a Scenario 30 game in one save slot, but then save over it with a Scenario 6 and it would show Scenario 6 even though it was actually 30. Also, this can't really happen. Which scenario DB is being used is stored in the turn file itself. And if that DB varies from computer to computer, it will give you a warning message about database changes. If you aren't getting those messages, you're running the same version. But I´m only running 1 game so overwrites shouldn´t be an issue. I don´t have a SCEN6 game going. EDIT: Just ran a turn on my "virgin install". No mods and no updates. Had no problems opening it with my DBB install. Got a version and PWHEX warning but no DB warning. Still sounds fine. YOU don't have a Scen6 game going, but his computer is the one that writes the comment in the save file upon saving. You could change this when you sent it back to him and it would change. For example, Bullwinkle and I still have "added 150vp" that Michael added to the comment a long time ago on our save line. I could save an entirely different game in that slot and that comment would remain, even though it was not applicable to the game that I just saved in that slot. Basically, he had a Scen 6 game saved in that slot and the save file still existed, and then he overwrote that save file with his new Scen 30 game with you - but the comment was never changed. It's still a Scen 30 game. The comment on the save file is completely independent of anything within it.

West Coast _____________________________________________________________________________ Major reshuffle here as we change stance from frontline to rear area. Only mopping up left now. A huge number of squadrons and units depart for the East Coast. Most will end up in SOPAC and start prepairing for the eventual push into the lower DEI. But some construction units and fighter squadrons will go to Cape. All unrestricted units are pulled back from Camp Pendleton. The attack will mainly be carried out restricted but not yet bought out US divisions together with the armored units. 7th, 41st and 43rd divisions are still not bought out. They will from now on be on the priority list to buy out as they are prepping for targets I NORPAC which I intend to start taking back shortly. A bombardment reveals the total number of Japanese troops left on the West Coast. I think my encirclement of the Japanese army in Burma against Erik beats this...but not by much! Sorted it for convenience. quote: 1st/A Division 1st/B Division 1st/C Division 2nd Division 4th Division 9th Division 12th Division 14th Division 16th Division 21st Division 48th/A Division 48th/B Division 48th/C Division 1st Tank Division 2nd Tank Division 5th Guards Division 6th Guards Division 4th Tank Regiment 8th RF Gun Battalion 18th Field Construction Battalion 2nd Ind.Art.Mortar Battalion 57th JNAF AF Unit 8th Area Army 305th Ship Eng Coy 71st JAAF AF Bn 2nd Hvy.Artillery Regiment 12th JNAF AF Unit 18th Medium Field Artillery Regiment 3rd Air Defense AA Regiment 9th Ind.Hvy.Art.

I have 1700 AV coming in about 6 days including this 2nd and 70th British division. Another 2000 AV left Chittagong 4 days ago. Obviously they won´t make it in time. He started moving some troops a couple of days ago. Unless he reset those a portion of the troops will leave Cox in advance of the others. That might give me a chance to catch at least some of the troops.

SOPAC _____________________________________________________________________________ Most of the Fleet departs Noumea to transit "elsewhere". We no longer need it to continue forward as we can land under LBA all the way to the Philippines from here. I revised much of my earlier plans and came up with a new one. Main plan is still the same though. Move a little everywhere and force Jeff to dissipate his forces as much as possible. I even considered moving into CENTPAC but dismissed the idea. Moving into CENTPAC would remove my two advantages (land and LBA) and force me to play where I´m weakest (Navy) and Jeff is the strongest. So for now we will creep forward in Burma and SOPAC. NORPAC front will be opened up in 2-3 months. My goal is to get back Dutch before the end of 43. Should be doable. SOPAC isn´t left complete bare though. Short of the KB I can deal with most of what the IJN can throw at me here. At least as long as I can dominate the air with LBA.

JocMeister -> RE: Chungking falls! (11/11/2016 10:37:10 AM)
Allied Shiplosses _____________________________________________________________________________ Take away the 3 CVs sunk by Japanese supersubs and my losses so far would be negligible. Lex was hit by two TTs and later sunk by gunfire. [image]local://upfiles/32406/7DA5104C70174C458B88D726499B1E94.jpg[/image]

JocMeister -> RE: Chungking falls! (11/11/2016 10:47:28 AM)
Japanese Shiplosses _____________________________________________________________________________ IJN losses have been reasonably light. I doubt Hyuga has sunk as she was hit by a lone TT. Most likely she made the journey back to Pearl. MKB has been wiped out though but with the KB roaming the seas it has little strategical effect outside the VPs. More encouraging are the fact that the KB airwings have been bled try trying to maintain air superiority on the West coast. Japanese DD losses should be cause for slight concern in the Japanese high command. I count 42 DDs lost so far and with the arrival of the US Fletchers the future of the Japanese DD force is bleak.

JocMeister -> RE: Chungking falls! (11/11/2016 10:52:15 AM)
Airlosses _____________________________________________________________________________ I usually do pretty good in the air and consider it to be my strongest area. This game is no exception. The Japanese have failed to put any kind of pressure on the Allied pools. I have been able to face the Japanese using my most modern planes with trained pilots. This shows in the statistics.

Japanese Supersubs?!? [:D] Your air game here is looking great! This shows maybe what could have happened if the USAAF in the Pacific had gotten some of the better airframes sent to Europe in the war. Your flak is doing a nice job too!

JocMeister -> RE: Chungking falls! (11/11/2016 11:06:52 AM)
Fighter pools _____________________________________________________________________________ As can be seen here there is no pressure on the plane pools. This is a great boon as I can continue to field only the most modern air frames with very good pilots. This maximizes the performance and leads to a positive spiral where I got more planes to spare for training which leads to very good pilots. I now have a healthy pool of trained fighter pilots and I can now rotate out combat veterans (75+ EXP) to save them for superior AC like the P47 and Spitfire. This only leads to a small decrease in combat efficiency as their replacements are very good (60+ EXP) since they have been able to fly backwater CAP in full squadrons for quite some time. This is usually the area that causes me the most concern but so far the air war have been pretty stress free. And it will only get easier from now on. -21 days to Hellcats. -3,5 months to P47s.

You know how I hate those things! Grrrr! Yeah, any Japanese player contemplating invading the WC should REALLY take those P47s into consideration. They shot down 158 planes for 8 own losses. And this was fighting the KB airwings and LBA Tojos. Try defending against 75 P47s using Zeroes and Oscars...[X(]

JocMeister -> RE: Chungking falls! (11/11/2016 11:27:38 AM)
VPs _____________________________________________________________________________ As can be seen here the fall of Chungking had little impact on the overall VPs. He has still to eliminate the troops though which should give him some extra VPs. On the other hand I have yet the 13 divisions on the WC to harvest the VPs for. Looking very good overall.

West Coast _____________________________________________________________________________ First attack at Camp Pendleton goes well. quote: Ground combat at Camp Pendleton (226,77) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 80923 troops, 1537 guns, 3339 vehicles, Assault Value = 2762 Defending force 135049 troops, 1306 guns, 795 vehicles, Assault Value = 3149 Allied adjusted assault: 803 Japanese adjusted defense: 901 Allied assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 0) Combat modifiers Defender: disruption(-), preparation(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 7737 casualties reported Squads: 322 destroyed, 157 disabled Non Combat: 38 destroyed, 158 disabled Engineers: 5 destroyed, 46 disabled Guns lost 254 (112 destroyed, 142 disabled) Vehicles lost 60 (16 destroyed, 44 disabled) Units destroyed 2 Allied ground losses: 1210 casualties reported Squads: 15 destroyed, 328 disabled Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 61 disabled Engineers: 3 destroyed, 41 disabled Guns lost 96 (7 destroyed, 89 disabled) Vehicles lost 80 (13 destroyed, 67 disabled) The US 41st ID took most of the losses and their PP price dropped with almost 600 which is nice. Still short about 800 VPs to buy them out though. Don´t think the Japanese will last very long. Two or perhaps three attacks before they are so wrecked they stop inflicting losses on the Allies. Went through the bases on the WC and "found" about 20 more construction battalions. Half of them will remain on the WC to help expand the NORPAC region. Fresh intel reveals Japan will fight for Coal Harbor. This was a bit surprising but we have more than enough troops prepped. I expect forts to be high though. Engineers are on their way to Prince Rupert to expand the port there. It will be our main base for a long while I think. Also diverted some naval assets from SOPAC and SEA. They will arrive in about 2 months time. We will mostly rely on smaller ships but I have diverted 2 heavy cruisers as well. We also have Idaho, New Mexico and Mississippi down in California but given the geography its unlikely I will commit them in NORPAC as proving CAP would be mostly impossible. Our initial plan of starting to move here in May/June is still on schedule. Besides Coal Harbor I don´t expect much opposition until further north.

KB _____________________________________________________________________________ Remains unspotted since the raid in the Solomons 4 weeks ago. SIGINT confirmed Soryu in the area about the same time. I´m getting a lot of traffic at Truk but not enough to let me see anything. Where would he station KB given the situation? Personally I would probably put them in Singers to safeguard the DEI. He doesn´t have the troops to protect it from the ground but KB could wreck any landing attempt. Thoughts?

Almost on page 2. Sorry for the lack of updates. Life is just a nightmare right now with work, kids and life in general. Hopefully I can get something up on Saturday. We are making good progress in SOPAC and most recently Burma where we wrecked the 4th Guards ID and the 5th Division. Allied armor is racing down the coast towards Akyab. Jeff has renewed his interest in the game hitting back here and there. Last days we have done two turns per evening!

Allied armor will continue to push south. Stacking limits makes things a bit tough right now and I have many divisions unable to participate in combat due to overstacking. The push down the Imphal road came to a sudden halt. Not sure what happened but despite having armor + 2 Aussi divisions we suffered a humiliating defeat in our last attack there. I´m starting a flanking movement using 2 Indian divisions. [image]local://upfiles/32406/3767E76CEE0244CEB1C9C7AAC0A522C2.jpg[/image]

India/Burma - Per JWE/Symon, its good to have an American Marine CD LCU or two as you drive down the coastal roads. They serve dual purpose of giving you the best artillery and limited protection from naval bombardments. Years ago, I asked him in a PM why the Allies didn't have many heavy artillery to go toe-to-toe with Japan's heavies. This was his answer along with use of FBs in ground attack in RL, but which flak is usually too good to be allowed in AE. You should have enough American CD LCUs by now to divert a few this way if you haven't already.

It is nice that the game is continuing, I was concerned that someone gave up on it. Strafing by fighters would work best on units moving in the open, definitely on units that are retreating but not when some units with AA guns enter the hex in combat mode. In the game, it does not show just how good the American fighters were in that role. Also, the rockets are not used as weapons in the game which the American fighter bombers used extensively. The IL2/10 also used rockets to good effect as well. Not everything can be modeled in the game very well or it gets too big. It reminds me of another game where people wanted to attack enemy infantry with the mine clearing flail on the front of the Sherman tank, just how would you model that? If the Burma/Indian border area is well defended, are there any weakly held bases that could fall to a para drop? Then supplies and light units could be flown in to create havoc? Not to mention aviation support squads and fighter operating from said bases.

Three of them are on the Akyab road and two of those have just been routed. So I don´t think a paradrop will be necessary. This was the current Allied OOB 3. ------------------------ Allied forces ------------------------ -1st Marine Division (Being pulled out and replaced by 32nd US ID) -2nd, 18th British Division -6th, 7th and 9th Australian Division -9th, 17th and 25th Indian division. (19th Indian is en route too) -6th Chinese Corp -7th, 254th and 255th armored Brigade. -763rd Tank Battalion. Also have 4 Indian divisions in strategic reserve. None have full TOE and are bought out though.

SOPAC _____________________________________________________________________________ Moving slowly but surely. No opposition since the CV strike in late January. Only meaningful Japanese forces are at Horn Island and Rabaul. I´m still using only xAKLs for moving forward here. Its slow going but its safe and it frees up the Navy to do other things. We just unloaded about 700k fuel at Auckland, Sydney and Noumea so fuel wise we will be good to go for a few months. This brings the total up to about 1 million fuel. Supply is around 2 million.
