I've got about 2629 active pilots and here's a list of the best of them. [image]local://upfiles/16287/14565DD3691C4EAE85115EF2070CCD06.jpg[/image]

Here's all the ships that have been sunk so far. 2 BB's down the tubes for the Allies. [image]local://upfiles/16287/C079544F7406474FB1305A67DE671F29.jpg[/image]

Brian thought it might be a good idea to put together a schedule for my invasions and I've cobbled together a list of places, what TF, what destination, when I should be there and when I estimate it will fall. I've left of Kaiveng and Hollandia and Kuching and maybe some other places I've landed already. I'm mostly playing this by ear. Flying by the seat of my pants. EDIT: So far I'm slightly ahead of schedule. [image]local://upfiles/16287/8A8613EE680A48D9B4FA272624814C20.jpg[/image]

According to this ground unit withdrawl schedule I'm soon going to be losing my Viet Minh dvisions. It's fine with me, I couldn't move them anyway. [image]local://upfiles/16287/6F71032406C74310855CADC9DC0D8678.jpg[/image]

I was looking through the industry just now and found some HI places that had already paid for the conversion, all I had to do is start the repairs. Pretty nifty I think. It's going to cost some supply but I think I have enough for that. Next I'll take a look at the refineries. [image]local://upfiles/16287/79C67FFF64BE4BC696B11B8271BA21BC.jpg[/image]

There's a situation at Harbin. I have the choice to repair the LI and HI and Manpower and Munitions Plant there and I'm wondering if I should do it. It's probably going to be fine through most of the war but when the Russians get ansy they'll probably just take it away from me. Besides if I repair the LI and there's not enough RES then there's no turning the LI off. I'd have to skuddle the HI instead to leave enough for the LI units. I'm wondering if I should forgo repairing all this stuff. What say you guys? [image]local://upfiles/16287/7AEF32FC616A4D64AA39DD8D8991E0AE.jpg[/image]

Here's the aircraft and engines for 10Dec41 and I'm seeing all kinds of things to change. I'm building a/c I'm not going to need, engines that I'm not going to need, etc. and I need to take my time and go over this bad boy and figure out what needs to be changed to what and boosted PRN, so I've got my work cut out for me. Maybe I should take a therapudic nap first. [image]local://upfiles/16287/4F0A31F9B0E44018A9F741025B187008.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/29/2017 2:21:12 AM)
Okie dokie I'm up from my nap and I've been making changes here and there jumping around from one problemo to the next. I've found a situation where the carriers and AO's are all at station Texico so without thinking much about it I refueled both carrier TF's and doing so has sapped the AO TF of 500 of it's ops today. D'oh. There's an Allied sub in that hex and it's not good to spend ops points in the same hex with an enemy sub. I've got my fingers crossed he's going to make it out of the hex alive. I'm predicting it's demise, I realize. [image]local://upfiles/16287/627494FE462448CBA159C810EBC90F42.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/29/2017 2:29:37 AM)
I was going over the map and saw some ships at Wake and I couldn't imagine what ships I had that could possibly be at Wake already so I had to investigate. That two-ships symbol stands for 4 sub TF's in that hex. Now I know. I'm debating putting them all in the same TF. Since they are there for point defense it makes sense to do that. On the other hand it might make them easier to detect. What's the right answer for this situation? EDIT: Anybody? [image]local://upfiles/16287/A8DE17411FDE4C06A199166E03968731.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/29/2017 2:53:29 AM)
Task Force 137 is close enough to Miri that they will probably land sometime tonight or early morning and discharge their holds of all the stuff they brought here. I'm not real sure that the escorts can suppress the CD guns long enough for all the ships to empty their guts all over the beaches.

And another thing: There's a hex NE of Saigon that the map is calling Binh Long and it might be a coincidence but I was an E-5 carrying an M-16 when I was at "Long Binh". That's what we called it. [image]local://upfiles/16287/15E9882D782143F384BFC789C4F85D06.jpg[/image]

Okie dokie.....I just now sent my 10Dec41 moves to Brian.

Hey you guys....why would drop tanks be unavailable at San Diego? It's got AF units there, plenty of supply, etc. [image]local://upfiles/16287/C3E09C5B5E74413D8F46A274C00BCE69.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/30/2017 1:15:53 AM)
I finally got some moves from Brian and I watched the combat replay and now I'm going through all the Tracker data and I see where Osaka's supply level is falling. It fell by about half last turn and about half again this turn so I'm thinking I might have to turn off the repair of something at Osaka. Maybe everything at Osaka. I've bumped up the supplies needed so I'll let it go one more turn to see if that fixed the problem or if I really DO need to turn off repairs. Turns have been coming slower lately because Brian is taking some kind of medicine that makes his hands shake so bad he has trouble controlling his mouse. That's a tough problem to overcome. Send some healing vibrations his way okie dokie you guys. [image]local://upfiles/16287/88978345681245BBA9971F98F81845B1.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/30/2017 2:02:32 AM)
I found two factories that were producing engines for planes I'm not building and two that were for rocket engines and converted all four to the engine for the George. That way we'll have plenty on hand for when the George becomes available. Now I need to figure out the planes and convert a lot of the planes I don't need to Georges. [image]local://upfiles/16287/418699D73BCD43C8A19B5E13064FB241.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/30/2017 2:09:52 AM)
I've boosted the number of George factories to six and set the repairs to heal so maybe soon we'll have some serious R&D going on. Got the airframes and engines going, now to check the numbers. [image]local://upfiles/16287/7A1AE50D946943D79182B9DA8E4DC984.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (9/30/2017 2:15:47 AM)
The numbers say that I slightly overestimated the number of engines needed so I'll just use the overage to engine the Franks when they become available. [image]local://upfiles/16287/7A45B5BD42DD4D47A880F96BE8ECE869.jpg[/image]

Kota Bharu fell last night and the fighting troops are having a day of rest before they move out chasing the KB remnants. The base itself has some damage to the airfield and the LI took some hits. But the RES center is up and running. I've got lots of engineers there and I flew in a squadron of Nates for top cover. [image]local://upfiles/16287/003C2C87E6554455BBF4817D682FD74F.jpg[/image]

Brian drove a carrier over to Makin and ambushed my TF. They had just disgourged their troops and were unloading supplies and they were hit from the skies. One sank outright and the other is going to sink before it gets home. The Allies will finish it off tomorrow. [image]local://upfiles/16287/C389870898FE406690B31E456B2BBE6C.jpg[/image]

Okie dokie, l'm through looking through all the data from Tracker and Combat Reporter and now I'm using the buttons at the top of the screen to tell me what to do next. This is the strategic situation overall. I'm swimming in PP's. [image]local://upfiles/16287/8F88C5BB56B54F2D91106B97395860EC.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (10/1/2017 12:51:33 AM)
Okie dokie, now I'm on a mission to check my major hubs and the most major one is Tokyo and this is Tokyo now: I've got a huge HI plant there and I don't plan on expanding it any. The RES center there probably can't drive all the industry that's there and I'm depending on the flow of goodies from the other cities to flow to Tokyo. I've been thinking of using the shipyard there (15) to convert all the AKE's I'm going to need but I'm pretty sure other ports will work as well. I'm thinking Tokyo gets the most traffic of any port with the possible exception of Osaka. The auto-convoy system isn't taking up much of the slack in logistics so I've been sending a lot of convoys manually from Osaka to places that need goodies. But I can do that from Tokyo as well. Whichever has the most ships at the time is the one I use for the origination port. I'm shipping the supplies in the blind, not knowing whether or not the destination hub is going to need the supplies because 99% of the time it does need it.

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (10/1/2017 12:52:55 AM)
I got an email from Brian and he explained that I shouldn't expect any moves from him before about late evening on Sunday and it's Saturday evening now so I thought I'd best use the time to study the map and the hubs and get a better feel about how everything is going.

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (10/1/2017 1:07:24 AM)
Here's how Truk is doing right now. Plenty of supplies and fuel for now. I'm thinking of expanding the repair shipyard to size 10(0) and maybe expanding the airfield as well. I want a big airfield there to help with the resizing of squadrons and so on. Also, a big port would be a plus. I'll expand it all a little bit at a time, one at a time.

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (10/1/2017 1:13:30 AM)
Here's what used to be known as Babeldoab. In RHS-speak it's Karor or something or other. It could use another shipment of fuel and I just now turned on the expansion of the port. I need a larger port there. There's not much in the way of troops at Babeldoab to move to an invasion site. It had some AF units there but I've already moved them to Truk.

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (10/1/2017 1:23:57 AM)
Here's Osaka and I'm surprised that there's so much traffic here still. I would have thought most of the ships would have left on a trip to somewhere with goodies. The Auto-Convoy system isn't taking up the slack on the logistical chains. I'm having to build TF's by hand to do the routes. Osaka had 27K supplies last turn and I bumped up the supplies needed quite a bit and it's got 29K supplies now so I guess the supply level might stabilize close to there, maybe climb a little. So far so good at Osaka. [image]local://upfiles/16287/0DF32C3FD8A84B1BBDFBF2D2472B8643.jpg[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: RHS II scen 129 GP and me (10/1/2017 1:29:13 AM)
Here's Saigon now. I've been there. From what I saw, it's not much to look at. I'm surprised that there's no ships docked there. I would have expected somebody there to load up the RES or the oil. I'll have to look into that and see if I can't get somebody assigned to do just that. [image]local://upfiles/16287/216E75335C1E496CBB058149C301AB24.jpg[/image]
