Jun 14 - 17 On the 14th an IJN CM was lost to sub attack. CA Exeter (and others) bombarded Ramree Is. BB Hyuga and CV Junyo (in separate TFs) were both hit by sub torpedoes, but neither torpedo exploded. IJN CV aircraft attacked Noumea port and hit six ships, causing minimal damage. On the 15th an IJN CL TF (2 CL, several DDs) attacked Allied TFs at Ramree, sinking a lone DE, then several xAP and a DD, before retiring unscathed. However, the fast run in and out caused some engine damage that cannot be fixed at Rangoon, so they're off to Singapore. On the 16th A6M5 research advanced to Jan 43. On the 17th Kweiyang was captured; the light industry and resources were totally destroyed.

Jun 18 - 25 I tried doing this earlier today, but got timed out. Jun 18 - Nells from Magwe attacked a Brit TF at Ramree, hitting 3 xAP and sinking 2 of them. Jun 19 - Started city bombing Sian, targeting manpower and light industry; damage was minimal. A 5th Tojo IIa research factory reached 30(0); with research at 80% now the first advance (Sep to Aug) will happen in 4 days, the second advance (Aug to Jul) will happen in 24 days (~Jul 14). Jun 20 - Two Chinese corps crossed the river into Kweiyang, shock attacked, and were totally destroyed. Rabaul airfield reached level 7. Jun 21 - CV Junyo arrived at Yokohama with 38 system, 1 flotation, and 14 engine damage. Putting it in shipyard would increase CV Kaga's repair time from 25 to 41 days, so Junyo will be pierside until Kaga (or other ships) are completely repaired.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (3/18/2020 5:57:54 PM)
Jun 18 - 25 (continued) Jun 22 - Samah airfield reached level 7. 15 Bde, surrounded and attacked for 10 days near Tienshui (NW of Sian), was destroyed. Jun 23 - Ha-45 engine research advanced from Dec to Nov '42. Ramree Is. was lost to Brit forces. Part of each of the 4 defenders had been flown out to Rangoon and will rebuild there, saving PP and time. The 6th and final Tojo IIa research factory reached 30(0), moving availability up a few days from Jul 14. And Tojo IIa research advanced from Sep to Aug. Jun 24 - nothing of interest happened. Jun 25 - Aichi Ha-60 engines begin production at 120 per month. Two of the 6 Tojo IIa research sites were changed to IIb, then IIc (with armor), and no degradation from 30(0). Tojo IIc is scheduled to arrive Mar '44. That's 615 days from Jun 25, '42; the 2 factories will advance research by one month every 50 days, or 615/50 = 12.3 months total, making arrival Mar '43. Tojo IIb is scheduled to arrive in Jul '43, and will not likely be used. (IIb has a better gun than either IIa or IIc, but no armor). This changes Tojo IIa arrival to 94/4 = 23.5 days, or ~Jul 19.

PaxMondo -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (3/19/2020 3:42:21 AM)
Tojo IIB does not have better guns, they are actually quite a bit worse. IIC has the best guns on the Tojo line. At least in the stock scenarios. I reread your page 1 and can't find the scenario number you are playing .. Scen 1 ? That 40mm cannon on the IIb only has an accuracy of 2 … meaning it hardly ever fires and rarely ever hits. Generally, your IIb is shot down before it can hit anything. The IIc with the 4x12.7mm isn't too bad because 2x12.7 are C/L, so the accuracy is doubled. One of the best armed IJA fighters is the FRankb model. The C/L 20mm cannon are quite effective against everything.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (3/19/2020 12:18:16 PM)
Thanks for the info - I was only looking at the gun rating, not the actual armament. But, I did make one BIG mistake - I thought a one year advance on arrival of the IIc was too much (intuitively). It's way less that because my math was incorrect. Should be - Jun 25 arr Mar 44 +50 days= Aug 14 arr Feb 44 +50 days= Oct 3 arr Jan 44 +50 days= Nov 22 arr Dec 43 +50 days= Jan 11 arr Nov 43 +50 days= Mar 2 arr Oct 43 +50 days= Apr 21 arr Sep 43 +50 days= Jun 10 arr Aug 43 +50 days= Jul 30 arr Jul 43 So, rather than a Mar 43 arrival, it will be the end of Jul 43. Based on Pax Mondo's gun evaluation, the IIb will still be skipped.

Jun 25 - 30 Might as well rap up this month (I'll append Jun 30 when I get the turn back) Jun 25 - Sinabang captured. Jun 28 - Batoe-eilanden captured. A small cruiser TF slipped into Ramree Is. and sank a PG and ML. Was hoping for some transports, but I guess they got out of there just in time. A sub bagged an xAP at Akyab, though. Victoria, BC was mined. Truk port reached level 7. Jun 29 - the large batch of xAK to AK conversions began to become available. The 30(0) Oscar Ic facility at Tokyo was changed to 0(18) Nick a, then expanded to 0(30). Two Oscar IIa facilities are being researched and will be available soon. Jun 30 - (waiting)

RangerJoe -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (3/23/2020 3:18:52 PM)
The Oscar Ic factory could have automatically started producing the IIa version with no extra cost.

quote: ORIGINAL: RangerJoe The Oscar Ic factory could have automatically started producing the IIa version with no extra cost. Yes, I know that, but we're not there yet (still a couple months [actually 4] to go). For some reason I decided way back when to set 2 factories to research the Oscar IIa. I probably should have researched the IIb to get armor. At this point it doesn't appear that the IIa will come in sooner than November '42, which is it's programmed arrival date, so the research has been a waste of supply. Next time (if there is one) those 2 factories will research something else.

Therefore, you get the factory finished sooner and the research started on the model that you want much sooner.

Jun 30 - Jul 2 Jun 30 - CVL Zuiho took a torpedo south of Truk (11 system, 28 flotation, 16 engine damage), so will head to Manila for repairs. The report during the sub attack said it was the CV Junyo that took the hit - wonder if my opponent saw the same thing. Oscars begin sweeping Chungking. IJA units are now north of Kweiyang, on the road to Chungking. I'll try to get a map posted, as China is where most of the action is currently. Port Arthur airfield reached level 7. Jul 1 - Betties from Koepang sank a DMS at Bathurst Is. IJA troops landed at Boela. Jul 2 - CVs Akagi and Shokaku arrived at Toyko for their scheduled June and July upgrades. CV Kaga, at Yokohama, with 20 days repair left was able to switch to pierside from shipyard, allowing CV Junyo to enter the shipyard (26 days). CVs Hiryu, Soryu, and CVL Ryujo arrived at Singapore, but will not upgrade until later in July. After reconfiguring their aircraft complement they will proceed into the Bay of Bengal to mess with the Brits around Akyab and Ramree Is.

Jul 2 China [image]local://upfiles/41215/C68515B4A3514C6586F25D9EE26B4B58.jpg[/image] The logjam just north of Chihkiang has been cleared and IJA is in pursuit. The river north of Kweiyang has been crossed, and again IJA is pursuing northward. There are several isolated pockets of Chinese well south of the front which will not be destroyed. Two tank regiments have departed Tsuyung to the northeast to threaten Chengtu. Recon of bases north of Chungking begins tomorrow. The front around Sian has been relatively quiet, with neither side having enough strength to successfully attack.

Jul 3 Ship Repair Status [image]local://upfiles/41215/517323773E9A4ADEB0412AD0E0B75E21.jpg[/image] Agaki and Shokaku are in scheduled upgrades; all the others are fixing battle damage. CV Zuikaku and BB Kirishima have been sunk; all other CVs, CVLs, and BBs are operational.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (3/31/2020 3:30:56 PM)
Jul 2 - 5 Jul 2 - Boela was captured. Netties bombed Chungking airfield. Jul 4 - BB Arizona bombarded Milne Bay. I expected more fireworks for the 4th of July, but this is all there was. An Allied xAP was sunk by submarine torpedo at Addu; a TK was hit there, also, but didn't sink. Jul 5 - Oscars from Magwe swept Ramree Is, losing 6 planes to 3 Allied. Nicks from Magwe swept, downing 3 Allied planes. Oscars from Rangoon swept, but no Allied fighters were left for CAP. CarDiv 2 (Hiryu, Soryu, Ryujo) attacked the British battleships at Ramree and got one Val bomb hit on Royal Sovereign, Revenge, Resolution, and Ramilles, but likely did little damage. An xAK there was sunk. There was no afternoon attack. Oscars from Chihkiang swept Chungking, losing 1 plane to 3 Chinese. Nicks from Kweiyang swept, losing 1 to 1. Sallys bombed the city causing 677 fires. A 1250 TK was sunk by submarine torpedo between Medan and Georgetown. Later an IJN ASW TF got 4 hits on SS Truant near Victoria Point.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/3/2020 11:46:41 AM)
Jul 6 - 9 Jul 6 - After a fighter sweep by Oscars and Nicks (1 lost for 3 Chinese), Sallies bombed Chungking manpower causing 1254 fires and some manpower hits. Jul 7 - Helens bombed Chungking airfield at night causing no damage. Oscars and Nicks again swept Chungking, but were meet this time by ~40 Warhawks (lost 6 to 5 Allied). Jul 8 - Night bombing of Chungking airfield continued, but little damage was inflicted. Jul 9 - Ha-45 engines advanced research to Oct 42. CVL Zuiho arrived at Manila with 13 system, 24 flotation, and 13 engine damage; 31 days in shipyard repair is needed. The map of China below shows a meeting engagement of land forces may occur one hex west of Chungking when the Jul 9 turn is played. The IJA stack of 736 AV is in move mode crossing the river, while it appears some Chinese force is moving out of Chungking to intercept. It's hoped the IJA force moves first, thus not resulting in a shock attack. The size of the Chinese force is unknown, but cannot be too large as there has not been a large force at Chungking due to a small number of respawned units. The red "stars" show where additional deliberate attacks will happen on Jul 9. [image]local://upfiles/41215/54BF5312610C44C285A5BBE531406F93.jpg[/image]

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/5/2020 11:39:27 AM)
Jul 9 - 11 Jul 9 - Helens bombed Chungking at night to little effect; Sallys bombed Sian at night, again with no damage. The stack crossing the river west of Chungking did so without resulting in a shock attack. Only one Chinese corps moved out of Chungking to oppose the crossing. Jul 10 - BB Colorado took 2 sub torpedoes from RO-63 west of Milne Bay, then another 2 from I-24 after separating from BB Arizona. Sinking sounds were heard. My opponent confirmed by email that Colorado sank. BB Arizona went on to bombard Milne Bay. The Allies also bombed Milne Bay by air at night, neither bombardment caused significant damage. An Allied xAK was sunk by sub between Suva and Noumea. West of Chungking the 84 Chinese Corp was easily swept aside, and retreated back into Chungking - quote: Ground combat at 75,45 (near Chungking) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 24443 troops, 234 guns, 333 vehicles, Assault Value = 757 Defending force 5748 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 257 Japanese adjusted assault: 355 Allied adjusted defense: 13 Japanese assault odds: 27 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 33 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Allied ground losses: 3695 casualties reported Squads: 164 destroyed, 149 disabled Non Combat: 55 destroyed, 22 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Units retreated 1 Defeated Allied Units Retreating!

The 15 Div, close behind, will turn northwest to Niekiang (sp?). Jul 11 - CVs Hiryu, Soryu, and CVL Ryujo began their scheduled July upgrades at Singapore. Night bombing of Chungking continued (no damage) targeting the airfield and light industry. A sub sank an Allied DD at Darwin, while another put a torpedo in a tanker at Perth.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/12/2020 5:29:38 PM)
Jul 12 - 14 Jul 12 - IJA troops entered Chungking. Jul 13 - A bombardment attack at Chungking discloses a weak defense - quote: Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 23359 troops, 234 guns, 157 vehicles, Assault Value = 767 Defending force 34232 troops, 211 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 435 Japanese ground losses: 33 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Assaulting units: 9th Armored Car Co 12th Tank Regiment 22nd Division 36th Division 3rd Hvy.Artillery Regiment Defending units: 2nd Chinese Cavalry Corps 16th Construction Regiment 6th Construction Regiment 93rd Chinese Division 22nd Chinese Corps 48th Chinese Corps 98th Chinese Corps 84th Chinese Corps 39th New Chinese Division 65th Chinese Corps 39th Chinese Corps 89th Chinese Corps 8th Construction Regiment 12th Construction Regiment 9th Group Army 18th Chinese Base Force CAF HQ 4th Heavy Mortar Regiment China Command 14th Chinese Base Force 1st Chinese Base Force 16th Group Army 41st AA Regiment 20th Chinese Base Force 20th Artillery Regiment 7th Artillery Regiment 39th Group Army 3rd Heavy Mortar Regiment 1st Artillery Regiment 25th Group Army Central Reserve 18th Artillery Regiment 49th AA Regiment Jul 14 - BB Mutsu was able to change from shipyard to pierside repair and reduce the repair time from 48 to 39 days! 12 Tank Rgt moved west out of Chungking to ensure that that hexside remains in Japanese control. If a Chinese unit follows me into Chungking by that side I can't retreat out (if I have to). And, a Chinese unit moved into that hex from across the river on this date, as well, and will be attacked. Night aerial bombardments continue to no effect. Sweeps at Chungking cost 8 planes per side, Oscars for Japan and Warhawks for the Allies. CVL Shoho went on a solo mini raid toward Arorae and found a CVE(?). Seven SBDs were shot down by CAP, three got through, but didn't hit anything. We lost 5 Kates to the CVE(-71) CAP and hit nothing. A deliberate attack at Neikiang reduced the forts to zero - quote: Ground combat at Neikiang (75,44) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 10473 troops, 112 guns, 69 vehicles, Assault Value = 315 Defending force 6460 troops, 64 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 99 Japanese adjusted assault: 272 Allied adjusted defense: 93 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 1) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(+), preparation(-), experience(-) Attacker: leaders(+) Japanese ground losses: 222 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 17 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 1 disabled Allied ground losses: 305 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 27 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 6 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 5 disabled Assaulting units: 15th Division Defending units: 26th Chinese Corps 4th Chinese Corps 37th Chinese Corps 20th Chinese Corps 14th Construction Regiment 46th Chinese Corps 29th Group Army 19th Group Army 17th Chinese Base Force

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/18/2020 12:39:57 PM)
Jul 15 - 19 Jul 15 - Neikiang was captured, along with 5000 supply. Batavia airfield reached level 7. Jul 16 - Allied cruisers bombarded Terapo, and he continues to dribble in parts of more defenders; AV is about 1 to 1, but with high disruption due to bombardment there's no prospect of a successful attack. A6M5 Zeros advanced research to Nov 42 arrival. Jul 17 - Brit BBs were sighted at Ramree; sending in subs as there's too much fighter cover for bombers. Sweeps have not been effective enough, with losses around 1 for 1. CL Yura is sunk by a sub near Victoria Point. Jul 18 - BB Yamashiro switched from shipyard to pierside repair and reduced repair time by 6 days (38 to 33). I switched from night to day aerial bombardment of Chungking; the bombers went in before the fighter sweep and got mauled (still flying unarmored Helens and Sallies). The situation on the ground around Chungking is deteriorating, even though the Japanese have plenty of supply and the Chinese don't. Withdrawal from both Chungking and Neikiang is required to prevent encirclement. Part of 15 Div moved SE from Neikiang to block the river crossing, but got there in move mode and lost the battle. It will move there again, along with the 2 divisions in Chungking, to try to open a withdrawal route. Reinforcements are coming from the Tuyun/Kweiyang area, and from the east, but may not arrive in time. [image]local://upfiles/41215/CE2BA1E265074ADBB0FB0C4431FB76CC.jpg[/image] Jul 19 - Tojo IIa fighters begin production at 120 per month. First priority is some Oscar squadrons in 3 Air HQ flying in Burma and China.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/19/2020 2:53:11 PM)
Jul 19 The Allies switched to night aerial bombardment at Buna, Lae, and Milne Bay, all ineffective. A major naval battle occurred west of Milne Bay. On the 18th an IJN TF of 2 fast BBs and some destroyers advanced toward Port Moresby, but targeting 1 hex SW of PM where several 1 ship TFs had been sighted. Several indecisive battles occurred, with both sides taking some damage to destroyers. On the 19th our battleships retired to Milne Bay, and 2 damaged destroyers retired at cruise speed. The Allies pursued with a TF consisting of BBs Maryland and Arizona. An IJN sub intercepted and put 2 torpedoes into Maryland. quote: Sub attack near Milne Bay at 99,134 Japanese Ships SS I-19 Allied Ships BB Maryland, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage BB Arizona DD Blue DD Humphreys DD MacDonough DD Hull DD Clark SS I-19 launches 6 torpedoes at BB Maryland The Allied BB TF overtook the damaged IJN DDs and damaged them further. quote: Day Time Surface Combat, near Milne Bay at 99,134, Range 26,000 Yards Japanese Ships DD Amatsukaze, Shell hits 6, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Wakaba, Shell hits 1, on fire Allied Ships BB Maryland, Shell hits 2, on fire, heavy damage BB Arizona, Shell hits 1 DD Gwin DD Grayson DD Mustin DD Blue DD Patterson DD Reid DD Phelps DD Clark DD Hull DD MacDonough DD Humphreys This additional damage took Maryland out of the fight, but a pursuing cruiser TF sank the IJN DDs. quote: Day Time Surface Combat, near Milne Bay at 99,134, Range 24,000 Yards Japanese Ships DD Amatsukaze, Shell hits 3, and is sunk DD Wakaba, Shell hits 7, and is sunk Allied Ships CA Chicago CL St. Louis DD Morris, heavy damage DD Gridley But, unbeknownst to the Allies, BB Yamato and 3 other IJN BBs sat at Milne Bay and reacted to the advancing Allied naval force quote: Day Time Surface Combat, near Milne Bay at 99,134, Range 26,000 Yards Allied aircraft no flights Allied aircraft losses SOC-1 Seagull: 3 destroyed OS2U-3 Kingfisher: 1 destroyed Japanese Ships BB Nagato, Shell hits 8, heavy fires BB Yamato, Shell hits 4 BB Fuso, Shell hits 12, on fire BB Ise, Shell hits 6 DD Hatsushima, Shell hits 4, heavy fires DD Ariake, Shell hits 1 DD Oite, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Hayate, Shell hits 5, on fire DD Sawakaze DD Namikaze, Shell hits 4 Allied Ships BB Arizona, Shell hits 34, and is sunk CA Chicago, Shell hits 4, and is sunk CL St. Louis, Shell hits 6, on fire DD Gwin, Shell hits 1, on fire DD Grayson, Shell hits 4, heavy fires DD Mustin DD Blue, Shell hits 1 DD Patterson, Shell hits 1, on fire DD Gridley, Shell hits 6, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Reid, Shell hits 3, on fire, heavy damage DD Phelps, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Clark DD Hull, Shell hits 15, heavy fires, heavy damage DD MacDonough Then sub I-19 put another 3 torpedoes into Maryland, and she sank (although the combat report doesn't show that) quote: Sub attack near Milne Bay at 99,134 Japanese Ships SS I-19 Allied Ships BB Maryland, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage DD Humphreys It was reported that 4 of the Allied DDs also sank. As BB Yamato retired from this fight an Allied sub fired several torpedoes, but missed. The 3 BBs with Yamato will require yard time to fix damage, but Yamato is fine, as are the 2 fast BBs. All need ammo. But, 2 more US BBs are out of the fight for good.

Uncivil Engineer -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/20/2020 9:44:32 AM)
China Update It appears the Chinese have resorted to guerilla tactics - he's started sending units overland to interdict roads. I'm working on opening the main road into Chungking from the southwest, since my 2 divisions in Chungking aren't getting much supply currently. My 2 recent attacks to clear Chinese from the major road 2 hexes south of Chungking resulted in his units retreating into the woods/rough hex SE of CK. These should attempt to move directly into CK, but that will take some time. His major stack of 25 units is in the hex SW of CK; I have about 1600 AV moving into that hex from the SE soon, and a dribble more coming from the SW. His CK defenders, although numerous, are only slightly over 500 AV, but probably with level 6 forts. [image]local://upfiles/41215/11F28579E0A94B738651182B7A646E51.jpg[/image]

I recently found out that my opponent has been using PP to reassign Chinese corps, thinking they would get no leadership bonus if assigned to an Army different from the one stacked with. He's also had CV Indomitable stuck at Colombo when it should have withdrawn, suffering 65 PP per day. The casualty count is 1 IJN CV (Zuikaku) and 1 IJN BB (Kirishima) to at least 3 US CVs and 4 US and Brit BBs, without a Pearl Harbor strike on Dec 7. For these reasons and others, I've offered to restart the game, and he readily accepted. I'm undecided whether to do an AAR for the new game, but if I do it will be in a different format. Thanks for watching. OUT.

Bif1961 -> RE: Wait... What! (NO Chris) (4/25/2020 4:16:40 PM)
I hate when a withdrawing vessel is too damaged to repair in time to withdraw and not damaged enough to scuttle. It turns into a PP drain. I try to run them at high speed to increase their damage enough to scuttle if possible.
