Jorge_Stanbury -> Jan 23rd: Bataan captured (4/12/2016 2:47:08 PM)

He left Bataan, deciding to defend Manila instead,

This I believe is a big mistake, as I will now start a naval bombardment campaign with the old, undamaged battleships. I believe I can easily finish this campaign by February at most and thereby free troops for additional commitments

and this is Papua:
[image]local://upfiles/41287/FE5015CF81D6423AA87E39AD0B176CB1.jpg[/image]

I need a few more days to finish unloading Pt Moresby, then I will be happy to leave. Fuel situation is dire, but the 2 AOs moving to Horn Island will mitigate it.

Reinforcements are all coming from the 8th Division; which I had been slowly purchasing; last component, the 4th Brigade, is at Fusan. I will have enough PP points in 4 days.

And I think it is important that I remain here and successfully invade Pt Moresby. This for psycho-ops reasons: this is where his main counterattack happened, and I need to show that it is "business as usual" nothing really achieved




Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: Jan 23rd: Bataan captured (4/13/2016 2:06:35 AM)

Jan 24 is a quiet turn, main highlight:

The first oil convoy from the SRA arrived to the home islands [;)]

Jorge_Stanbury -> February 4th update (4/23/2016 11:19:36 PM)

It has been a long time, but not a lot have happened, just standard conquest.

So this is where I am at:

Java
I have 3 divisions, 3 regiments/ brigades and one SNLF at Soreabaja
1 brigade, 1 tank regiment, 1 SNLF and other minimal troops on the North
The plan is simply to grab everything except for 2 pockets: North (Batavia) and South (Malang), then move out most of the divisions to the SW Pacific for a potential invasion of Fiji and New Caledonia. I am still not 100% about it, but in any case I want to have them ready. Is April or March 1st the end of the amphibious bonus??

Jorge_Stanbury -> Long time... (5/24/2016 1:58:57 AM)

So its being a long time,

Mostly personal issues, then vacations. This game had advanced, slowly

some updates as of February 17th:
I sent reinforcements to Pt Moresby, with the objective to finally finish all Allied resistance at Papua New Guinea. This was done smoothly, and amphibious troops disembarked successfully. However, the KB and supporting cruisers run into significant enemy surface forces, and due to weather luck (one turn with no aircraft launching), KB ended in a position to run a gauntlet against BC Repulse, CA Houston, CLs Mauritius, Enterprise, Leander..
Long story short, CL Mauritius and Enterprise fought the KB, and manage to put some carriers on fire. But thankfully, damage was controlled and no carrier went out of action. In the air strike phase, KB sank Repulse, Mauritius and left Houston and Leander in very bad shape (both sank the they after after facing Japanese SCTFs)

In another news... Manila is a tough nut to crack; I initially thought that BB naval bombardments (he abandoned Bataan), would make it quite easy to capture... I was wrong

I will try again in a month or two; I am still debating if I should move out troops.. I guess at this point they are too beaten to be of any use in another theater,

jwolf -> RE: Long time... (5/24/2016 2:08:13 PM)

Was he trying to attack your carriers with the larger Repulse force? It might have been a lot worse than those 2 CL attacking. But overall that is a massive defeat for the Allies at PM. Very good work on your part.

Yes he was, in February 16th he saw Vals striking a small (xAK, xAKL) Allied supply run on Pt Moresby. He decided to move significant forces within range

On February 17t, I had all within range, but regrettably, there were no strikes: AM phase was totally lost due to weather over the carriers, while on PM phase, the poor weather covered the enemy SCTFs. and in consequence, the strike pack attacked some xAKs and APDs

February 18th: he had the alternative of running away, I would had not being in a position to pursue... but he decided instead to throw the 2 SCTFs in a gamble to hit the carriers. Only Mauritius and Enterprise found it, and only Mauritius fought. probably weather related too, On Japan, the 2 Kongos were simply spectators, they did nothing.. most of the heavy lifting done by the destroyers and in less degree the heavy cruiser.
So who knows what would had happened if Repulse, Houston, Leander and Pope found it instead. If Repulse was engaged, then most likely a carrier, if not two would had ended either sunk or heavily damaged, otherwise, most likely equivalent results as Mauritius fought like a heavy weight champ.

He is aggressive, he likes to concentrate forces and he is certainly not afraid of losing ships... this is particularly worrisome for a Japanese perspective, as it is difficult to be conservative, maintain your losses under control while the Allies pound and keep pounding regardless of losses

Even in this last battle... he lost 1 BC, 1 CA, 2 CLs, 1 DD... but nevertheless, he managed to damage 3 carriers... this is a problem for me... should I send them back to Japan for repairs? and risk a Midway? or keep them together, knowing that a damaged carrier might not get a second chance if hit again.. and he only needs one lucky submarine for that chance

Yes, he is very aggressive. And he likes to setup ambushes. We are playing BtS Lite, which helps the initial Japanese advances, but I have learned to be careful. I almost lost a Naval Air HQ to a pair of roving CL's. Had to scramble a surface force, and ended up losing a DD, but he lost one CL, one DD, and there is a damaged CL in the South China Sea. As long as I have a CarDiv around, Japanese operations are somewhat safe, but otherwise, it is far too risky. Also, he is good at CAP traps (helped by the fact that we are playing 2-day turns) and using PBY-4's and -5's as bombers. But a methodical Japanese player can steamroll him, I think.

Take a look at my ARR, if you have the time. It is a very different game (PDU ON, 2-day turns, he has lost one CV and has another one severely damaged in Pearl, different scenario), but perhaps you will be able to glean from our opponent's moves there. I know I have from yours.

Cheers!




Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: Long time... (5/25/2016 1:31:17 PM)

It is easy to steamroll in the initial phase, regardless of opponent. The catch of course is that you also need to keep your losses to minimal and that can be a challenge if the expansion is too aggressive.

I forgot to mention his fondness of using patrol aircraft on naval strike duty... I personally don't like this strategy, and I have discussed it with him in many emails. I prefer, always, to avoid using patrol aircraft for "pyrotechnics" and instead devote them to naval search, I think it is a better use... Sure I have lost a few ships to his PBYs, specially when they carry torpedoes, but nothing that is irreplaceable. In the other hand, good naval search can give me a much better idea on where to send raiding SCTFs and these can wreck havoc on enemy shipping, wiping out entire convoys/ flotillas

I will certainly look at your AAR,

Yes, he likes to use PBY's for torpedo naval attack. That is why in our game he has (reportedly) lost 21 PBY's already, and it is not the end of December '41 yet. Good LR CAP takes care of that easy (even F1M2's do in a pinch).

He also likes to send his light cruisers on raiding missions, trying to catch my amphibious TF's without protection. I am trying to be as cautious as possible, as Japanese escort CL's and PB's are no match for a pair of Allied CL's. Japanese naval air and surface forces have so far (reportedly) taken care of CLs Durban, Dragon, Tromp, and Java, and CA Chicago. There have been others damaged too, but they keep coming! Last turn CL's Colombo and Capetown bombarded Tavoy. Not much damage (1 squad disabled on 56th Inf Div), but a bit distracting.

Will keep reading your AAR. I am certain that I will learn a lot from it!




Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: Long time... (6/21/2016 1:31:21 AM)

Few updates:
- Fiji landings were successful, Suva was easily captured, the entire South Pacific islands looks relatively unguarded
- Pt Moresby also fell
- Manila and Batavia are holding

Welcome back! Was gonna ask how the game was going.




Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: Long time... (6/21/2016 1:40:10 AM)

In the Indian Ocean,
I tried a surprise invasion of Chittagong, it failed in the sense of there was significant opposition.
So instead, I invaded Cox's Bazaar

This operation was opposed by the Eastern Fleet and in the many battles that followed, I lost:
CAs Takao, Atago, 3 DDs

The Allies lost:
BB PoW and possibly Revenge
possibly CL Emerald and Hobart
2 to 3 DDs

After 3 days of fighting, the British are depleted and on retreat, with mini KB in pursuit.

Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: Long time... (6/21/2016 1:57:22 AM)

Losses:

Allied BB are highly overstated, I can confirm two: Repulse and PoW, plus maybe Revenge. All USN BBs survived
The other categories are reasonably accurate,
