quote: ORIGINAL: BBfanboy The big BFs there are US and I have bought one or two out on occasion and transported them to Australia where they moved to inland bases to work with US bombers and to help develop airfields. Once the threat of Japanese invasion of Oz passes they move to the coast and follow the path of invasions going back to Japan. But I know the allocation of PP is always tough so I understand that you will have other ideas. I will be reading and learning - thanks for the AAR! [&o] Last game I pulled out near as many units as I could both from the Philippines and from Malaya, then from the DEI when the time came. This time I am mixing things up (we both are!) and am going to use those PP to release units from CONUS faster and some other things. When I did that last time I used ships and flying boats, hence not really sure about bombers. BTW my plan is the same with Dutch units - leave all/almost all in place to save the PP. In all three cases I am hoping that the forces last as long as possible and slow down the Empire. With the rapid pace of advance and large forces seen on Luzon I think the devious one is bent on eliminating resistance on Luzon by speed and power as quickly as possible. That will free up large units to smash Singapore and the DEI in whichever order he chooses. A good plan. How can I counter it? Back on salvaging units, I am pulling out the 223 and 224 RAF Air HQ's from Malaya by flying boats to Java. They and the (most or all non-Dutch) air units will be pulled out of Java when the end is near if the Empire does not thwart the effort. Devious Admiral Wa has also mixed things up by deploying a fleet carrier to work with the small carriers covering Philippines operations. Small, expendable invasions are being used for many places where larger forces and air support can follow, and for secondary theaters like New Guinea, New Ireland, and the the Solomons. Doubtless that will continue. Many of the invasions have succeeded with only punitive interference as our combat groups destroyed ships after most troops were ashore. Only Kavieng was actually (for now) saved from invasion by our surface forces (Jolo was an accidental encounter and will be invaded tomorrow, I think). What I really want is a shot at the carriers with our cruisers and battleships, but the IJN is watching very carefully. Last game we nearly got them and you can bet he remembers that.

I just checked - the only transport option the game offers for bombers is supply transport.

Boise/Marblehead will head there too, but Houston is in port at Balikpapan with heavy damage. She can make 17 knots but with hostile surface forces about would not get far. Her main guns have 1 ammo each. The good news is that all the enemy mines at Balikpapan have been cleared. For all the smoke and fury, we lost 1x DD and 3x AM on the day. Clearly more ships will be lost in this battle but things could have been much worse already. • The Dutch squadron should make Ternate by the end of tomorrow. • One flight of B-17's got 5 Oil hits on Miri, but we need to pull back those groups for logistical reasons. • Imperial sweeps over Singapore hurt today. That plus need for CAP at Soerabaja has resulted in most fighter groups moving. • Our ground troops held in two spots on Malaya.

1941 December 15 • Repulse has several inoperative AA mounts and both torpedo mounts. Prince of Wales has some inoperative AA mounts. Given the heavy system damage to Repulse and the risk presented to POW operating with increased visibility and alone (as a BB), they shall withdraw to Cape Town for repairs. Their destroyers will peel off past the submarine danger zone and return to the battle area.

jwolf -> RE: 1941 December 15 (12/13/2017 1:02:26 AM)
I liked that line that "the expendables were expended" which sounds about right for PTs. But with luck they may have knocked out a BB for a few weeks.

CHANGED OWNERSHIP Sibuyan is occupied by the Japanese Japanese forces CAPTURE Digos !!! Japanese forces CAPTURE Batangas !!! Japanese forces CAPTURE Jolo !!! • Aside from submarines around Hawaii no IJN sightings in the Pacific east of Babeldaob. • Two Pearl Harbor BB's, damaged Arizona and undamaged Tennessee are on their way to Bremerton by a circuitous path. They hugged the southern side of the island of Hawaii passing near Kona and evaded submarines operating close to PH. A separate TF of 8x DD heading to Christmas Island to relieve the Clemson's escorting Saratoga were attacked by a sub but sailed on unharmed. Three more BB's will take a more direct route to San Francisco and environs when more escort is available, perhaps those Clemson's plus others. Two BB's currently repairing light damage at Pearl will remain their for upgrades to spread out the work even more. They could be more quickly available to bombard a captured Midway if it comes to that. • Aus 53rd and 39th Bde's convoy has just begun unloading at Port Moresby. They are strategic loaded at a size 1 port so that will take a while. • An IJN convoy was encountered by Snapper on its way into Babeldaob. • We got two more B-17's out of Luzon today. If attacks on Cabanatuan remain light or nil we might get more out in the next couple of days. • Two RN MTB were lost to a pair of destroyers in the Sulu Sea. A tanker will make its way south along the coast from Tarakan to evade IJN cruisers about. Another IJN cruiser force showed up near Ternate - attacked without effect from the air - trying to engage the Dutch squadron but it was gone and is now thought to be unspotted by the enemy. • These Imperials plus others moving directly from Mauban will soon be at the gates of Manila. quote: Ground combat at Batangas (79,78) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 9060 troops, 37 guns, 110 vehicles, Assault Value = 318 Defending force 4075 troops, 38 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 103 Japanese adjusted assault: 149 Allied adjusted defense: 11 Japanese assault odds: 13 to 1 (fort level 1) Japanese forces CAPTURE Batangas !!!

Marblehead is in port at Soerabaja to make some repairs before setting out. Boise has replenished there. An RN CL TF has also and will head for Kuching to work with a USN DD TF nearing Singkawang. Another RN TF with 2x CA, 1x CL is also at Soerabaja. Houston only made 3 hexes from Balikpapan and will need 2 or 3 more days to make Soerabaja to repair flooding before leaving the area. DD Stewart (USN) made 2 hexes on the same journey and will be lucky to make a port with time to perform full repairs. Soerabaja might be a viable naval base for a while, or the Empire could strike hard at Celebes and south to put Soerabaja in jeopardy. I will make use of it for small repairs, temporary repairs, and substantial repairs to small ships if they can be made quickly. • I was relieved the IJN pulled back from the Makassar Strait today. They did expend a lot of ammo and sagely did not want to face reinforcements while low on ammo. The closer they get to Soerabaja the more serious the threat of effective Allied air attacks. We do now have all torpedo squadrons in the area there with numerous fighter escort. • We have SigInt "23/33rd Division is loaded on xAK Kagu Maru moving to Bangkok." and have assigned the two nearest subs, both Dutch, to lurk in the waters near Bangkok. • Hong Kong officials are renaming the fortress there "King Kong Fortress" after today's battle. quote: Ground combat at Hong Kong (77,61) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 18813 troops, 288 guns, 180 vehicles, Assault Value = 408 Defending force 7263 troops, 122 guns, 72 vehicles, Assault Value = 145 Japanese adjusted assault: 96 Allied adjusted defense: 605 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 6 (fort level 1) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 491 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 24 disabled Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 7 disabled Engineers: 15 destroyed, 2 disabled Allied ground losses: 118 casualties reported Squads: 20 destroyed, 8 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 2 (2 destroyed, 0 disabled) Assaulting units: 38th Division 19th Ind Engineer Regiment 66th Infantry Regiment 20th Ind Engineer Regiment 2nd Ind.Hvy.Art.

The Empire is determined to make short work of Wenchow and we are determined to hold it as long as possible. Complete combat report attached.

1941 December 17 INVADED Amphibious TF 120 offshore of Zamboanga Clark Field, Manila, Changchow are also invested. CHANGED OWNERSHIP Boac is occupied by the Japanese Japanese forces CAPTURE Wuchow !!! Japanese forces CAPTURE Chuhsien !!! Japanese forces CAPTURE Georgetown !!! Japanese forces CAPTURE Brunei !!! • A large convoy carrying fighters and medium bombers is departing San Francisco for Brisbane. • So far none of our merchants and transports making their way from Australia and New Zealand to the US West Coast have been intercepted by IJN submarines. Nor have any of our outbound convoys. The inbound stragglers and un-escorted convoys have yet to approach the lanes leading directly to the West Coast, but the outbound convoys evading contact might mean the Empire is doing something else with their subs. We know there are several around Hawaii and certainly they hope to catch badly damaged battleships leaving those waters. Are they also scouting for KB? Are other IJN subs transiting to other waters for other operations? • The two USMC regiments to reinforce Pago Pago are about a week out. A USMC Pioneer Bn tagged along to speed building. • Unloading at Port Moresby is going faster than I expected likely due to choosing small ships that can rotate through the small dock instead of being restricted to using lighters. Only the mortars and AA MG remain to be brought ashore which is perfect because a supply convoy will arrive in three days. • Another B-17 made it out of Luzon today, 3 more to go. All will possibly be ready to fly tomorrow if the Empire does not hit Cabanatuan for one more day. • Already 24 bombers and 29 auxiliaries at Jolo: the Empire no longer needs carriers to menace Makassar Strait from the air. • Air raids on Singapore's port hit a number of ships, sinking two. Virtually all remaining ships will leave tonight. The two air HQ being airlifted out are the only units which will be evacuated. quote: Morning Air attack on Singapore , at 50,84 Weather in hex: Heavy rain Raid detected at 40 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.

Wenchow is now short of supply due to our success in getting additional defenders there. • At least one Imperial unit is seen leaving Hong Kong. Most likely it is all of them pulling out before suing for peace. • Doomed units have cut Imperial Railway Service (IRS) tracks in two in places in China, a situation that will last... until the end of next turn.

The Clemson's will then head back to the West Coast via Pearl for ASW duty and conversion to APD's. • We are going to pull Lark Force out of Rabaul and back to Port Moresby. Let's hope that's not where the IJN carriers are operating next. • None of the 3 B-17 at Cabanatuan came ready today and the Imperial paratroopers have arrived. With luck, tomorrow. The Empire faced a number of P-40's from Manila during it's raids today so might be tempted to hit Manila hard tomorrow. Let's hope so. • Houston has made it back to Soerabaja wihout incident. She and Marblehead will sortie in two days to leave the area for repairs. • That cruiser/APD TF is exiting the Ceram Sea at Waigeo and apparently was part of a multi-TF force hunting for the Dutch squadron. The Flying Dutchmen shall be hard to catch. • Haruna was attacked by our aircraft (without effect) just NW of Tawi Tawi. In that vicinity a CL/DD TF sank most of our RN MTB escaping from Hong Kong. The first battle was at night and close range but all torpedoes missed. They did set a CL afire with a single .30 cal MG hit. • All of the non-combatant non-support ships from Soerabaja have transited to the Indian Ocean and most are making their way to Australia but a few to Tjilatjap. There were one or more IJN submarines prowling the waters near Soerabaja and the straits quite effectively so our timing was fortunate. • Damaged ships and gunboats remaining at Singapore were sunk by heavy bombing raids. The airbase is damaged at the end of the turn, first time so far. Fortifications are 2 + 43%. Hopefully there will be enough breaks in the bombing campaign to get them higher. • 6th Indian Bde was pushed back into Taiping but has little if anything left to give. • Some ground action in China but nothing big. The Empire is trying to cut off our repositioning troops and we are trying to avoid it. • Amazingly our positions on the vital IRS in China will last at least another day, probably two until Imperial tax collectors arrive.

No big problem so far but a number of enemy units are closing in on Nanyang, racing some of our units there. We have a big speed bump position slowing them and that unit will certainly suffer.

1941 December 20 KB2 and the invasion of Sidate. Dutch flying boats tried to intervene but were no match for the carrier fighters. [image]local://upfiles/14248/0FC4A8A070CC44819815C9261CA7FF82.jpg[/image]

1941 December 20 Certainly the Makassar Strait is dangerous for the Empire in the opening phases of the campaign game. Coupled with that is the need to protect Oil production once captured, well illustrated by our little successes so far hitting Oil production at Miri. Any strategy approaching the Makassar Strait indirectly makes sense both to manage the risk to IJN assets and Imperial troops, and to prepare safeguards for Oil production at Tarakan, Balikpapan, and Samarinda. Ternate is an obvious target and was identified in SigInt, plus now Sidate/Manado is invaded. While obviously serving both of the goals above, the spectre is also raised of a deeper eastern DEI thrust down to Timor and possibly even Darwin prior to a major push on central and western DEI. Such would severely impede reinforcement and withdrawal of forces to/from the DEI. An obvious drawback is some fashion of fortress Palembang would have more time to develop. I am not doing so, but presume DAW's spies and analysts are not aware of that. Suppose the EMEP (Empire's Master Evil Plan) is to invade deep in the eastern DEI, what is planned to counter/stop/neuter Allied reinforcement of Palembang? - Suppress Singapore air complex. DONE - Marshal adequate ground forces to seize Palembang fairly quickly when directly invaded early. I have not attempted to catalog the forces currently in use at Malaya, Luzon, and Mindanao, but it seems those commitments might well be leaving adequate forces available. The advance down Malaya goes well for the Empire but seems more methodical than blitzkrieg. Forces on Mindanao are modest and unless reinforced will take time to clear the island. Luzon is heavily besieged but I have only gained a partial view of Imperial ground forces there. There might be enough combat power there to crush the Allies redoubts of Clark Field and Bataan but maybe not. There is certainly enough to confine resistance to Clark and Bataan. Further, the armour and perhaps other units could be pulled out and used against Palembang and then Java once Allied units are confined to Clark and Bataan. - Establish air superiority (or even supremacy) over Palembang. IJN fleet carriers can do so practically at will and it is easier earlier due to the greater disparity in pilot quality. Waiting allows training of existing pilots and reinforcement by other squadrons. In the present case the USA fighter squadrons on Luzon are trapped and will not be a factor. Other USA squadrons will not be available for some time. The Singapore fighter squadrons are on Java and can oppose but have poor airframes. The Dutch fighter squadrons have both poor airframes and unskilled pilots. Dutch bombers are (mostly) decent aircraft with good ordnance for the task, but the pilots are low-skill. Other Allied bombers in the DEI are a little better in terms of pilot quality only. The Allied torpedo bombers are a more substantial danger to the IJN and to troop convoys but they are very vulnerable to fighters and very unlikely to penetrate current IJN fleet carrier CAP. - Establish LBA CAP of Palembang. - Rapid follow up invasion of western Java to overrun airfields. - Suppression of airfields as possible prior to their overrun. - Cleanup of remaining DEI. - Cleanup of Luzon and Singapore. The greatest danger to Oil production in this plan is the USA B-17's, but early seizure of Oil production allows more time for repairs, so the real trade off is not long term Oil production but supply consumed in repairing it. Early capture of various places might mean more capture of Allied supply to mitigate supply given up to repairs. Obviously I do not know if this is the EMEP, but I think it a viable plan that I should be working to counter. I am toying with the idea of positioning the USN carriers for a strike on Palembang Oil in the early days after its capture.

1941 December 21 INVADED Amphibious TF 147 unloading at Sidate Clark Field, Manila, Cabanatuan, Davao, Taiping, Hong Kong, Changchow are also invested. CHANGED OWNERSHIP Polillo is occupied by the Japanese Japanese forces CAPTURE Atimonan !!! • Eidsvold dodged a bullet yesterday but not today. quote: Submarine attack near Channel Islands at 223,78 Japanese Ships SS I-4 Allied Ships TK Eidsvold, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage TK Eidsvold is sighted by SS I-4 SS I-4 launches 2 torpedoes Our convoys carrying aircraft bound for Australia, some PBY's heading for Hawaii, and the seaplane support for Midway have all cleared the danger zone near the coast. We've added USMC dive bombers to the naval search roster and eagerly await those destroyers. • The B-17E's flying to Australia are now at Brisbane but will have to wait for adequate air support. Training only for now so no big deal. • Lark Force is loading aboard ship at Rabaul. Cross your fingers... • We traded 2x B-17D's for 4 more Oil hits at Miri. A group of Falcon's from Tarakan also attacked Oil production at Brunei but made no hits. • Houston has only a few points of minor flooding to resolve and will deal with that en route to Repairland. An IJN sub is lurking near the strait east of Java so care is the order of the day. • Brit 223 and 224 air HQ's are both now on Java and will bolster air support at Soerabaja. The British and Dutch flying boats are performing other duties now while the two USN PBY-4 squadrons have moved to Soerabaja to begin airlifting unrestricted air support units from Mindanao. There are only a couple with others needing to be bought out, so I will have to decide between buying them back + buy out later or buying them out now for higher price. They are very small units so I might just buy them now to use their services on Java and in Australia. • Chengchow has held for several days with only the shattered shell of a unit left to man the walls Foreign Legion style, with the fallen occupying 19 out of every 20 fighting positions to give the illusion of numbers. Finally the lone Imperial unit first on the scene has been heavily reinforced and just now conducted recon. quote: Ground combat at Chengchow (88,44) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 504 troops, 35 guns, 54 vehicles, Assault Value = 434 Defending force 815 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 3 Allied ground losses: 7 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Assaulting units: 35th Division 5th Tank Regiment 3rd Tank Regiment 7th Ind Engineer Regiment 7th Ind.Hvy.Art.

Still impossible to tell if DAW has ordered a quick overrun of all Luzon or will withdraw key, powerful units once Clark/Bataan is sealed off. • The airworthy fighters remaining at Manila have been flown to Cagayan to continue resistance. It seems unlikely that any of the grounded birds will make it out. • Two more! quote: Morning Air attack on Brunei , at 65,87 Weather in hex: Overcast Raid spotted at 44 NM, estimated altitude 5,000 feet.
