I should add that Nanyang is not a pocket resistance like Sinyang was. He has not captured Sian, nor anything to the northwest of Nanyang itself.

You don’t see the Nate/Tojo combo every day.

Bif1961 -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/5/2020 10:47:48 PM)
You don't see P-39 fighter sweeps every day either, there is a good reason why.

RangerJoe -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/6/2020 8:49:28 PM)
P-39s are great on defence, especially against bombers.

In Richmond, VA, restaurants have started closing for quarantine. Wishing everyone the best of health. On the plus side, mandatory work from home means... the coming week should be rife with AAR updates!

Bif1961 -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/19/2020 4:15:38 PM)
I hope you and yours are well and looking forward to catching up on all the self-isolated AARs.

quote: ORIGINAL: Bif1961 I hope you and yours are well and looking forward to catching up on all the self-isolated AARs. Thanks, Bif! It's been an interesting experience to say the least. Can't say I enjoy mandatory work from home (corporate, not state, requirement). It's hard to 'turn off' and stop responding to emails, calls, requests, etc. Think my wife and I have struck a pretty good balance of spending time and avoiding each other. How have others been dealing with that? I'd be curious to get both retired and still working perspectives. For us, the biggest challenge has been the complete lack of sports. Playing, not watching. Under normal circumstances, I have 1-2 outdoor & 4-5 indoor soccer games a week. Haven't been able to do that whole "jogging" thing yet. Does the "19" in COVID's name refer to the amount of weight you gain from social distancing?

Regarding the game, things go well. Our opponent tried another KB-covered BB Bombardment of Sydney, only to find a near empty port and wallaby-infested runways. The turn after, we noted his forces split: some went back to the KB sitting off Lord Howe, while the rest progressed north closer to the coast of Brisbane. We moved two squadrons of the old Vindicators up and into position. The next turn they dropped several thousand pounds of explosives into a nice CA (don't have the combat report handy). No airframe losses. The more significant fight has been over northern Burma. As of July 28, 1942, The Japanese are still putting planes in the air, but not getting the desired results: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Shwebo , at 59,45 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid spotted at 23 NM, estimated altitude 22,000 feet.

Group patrol altitude is 20000 , scrambling fighters between 0 and 20000. Time for all group planes to reach interception is 1 minutes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Mandalay , at 59,46 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid spotted at 33 NM, estimated altitude 21,000 feet.

Our opponent still has naval supremacy, and uses it to make these kind of milk runs: Night Naval bombardment of Akyab at 54,45 - Coastal Guns Fire Back! 2 Coastal gun shots fired in defense. Japanese Ships CA Ashigara CA Nachi CA Haguro CA Myoko DD Matsukaze DD Harukaze DD Asakaze DD Kamikaze Runway hits 9 Port hits 1 E13A1 Jake acting as spotter for CA Ashigara CA Ashigara firing at 1st Burma Division CA Nachi firing at 1st Burma Division E13A1 Jake acting as spotter for CA Haguro CA Haguro firing at 17th Indian Division CA Myoko firing at 1st Burma Division DD Matsukaze firing at 103rd RN Base Force 103rd RN Base Force firing at DD Matsukaze DD Harukaze firing at 1st Burma Division DD Asakaze firing at Akyab DD Kamikaze firing at 1st Burma Division

What's interesting is how far north he has garrisoned serious IJA forces: Morning Air attack on Imperial Guards Division, at 61,43 (Katha) Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid spotted at 7 NM, estimated altitude 1,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 2 minutes Allied aircraft Blenheim IV x 13 Allied aircraft losses Blenheim IV: 5 damaged Aircraft Attacking: 13 x Blenheim IV bombing from 1000 feet Ground Attack: 2 x 250 lb GP Bomb

Engineer Regiment 18th Medium Field Artillery Regiment 3rd Mortar Battalion 25th Army 3rd Ind. Mountain Gun Regiment 5th Mortar Battalion 3rd Medium Field Artillery Regiment 1st RF Gun Battalion 14th Ind.Art.Mortar Battalion They're effectively stopped by 1,400 AV behind Lvl 3 forts. He's been making no progress with attack. I think we have a big opportunity to trap them and if we're lucky the IGD in the Burmese jungle.

Cheesesteak -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/23/2020 7:02:42 PM)
so.... not much to report here. Our opponent has gone dark for several days. Reaching out to check on him now.

BBfanboy -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/23/2020 10:47:36 PM)
Going dark is bad joss these days. Hope all is well.

aaffins -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/25/2020 4:31:32 PM)
Worrisome times, not a word for six days now.

Cheesesteak -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/25/2020 4:50:34 PM)
A Response! He and his are healthy. Working like crazy at the office (and I believe he lives in NY state, scary stuff). Glad to hear he is alright.

Bif1961 -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/27/2020 3:12:56 PM)
NY State is ground zero right now so we all will be worried about him. In regards to your earlier comment on your views about how people are coping, I am retired and have been self-isolating for years so nice to know I now have company. Actually I drive shut-ins several times a week to appointments and shopping and other errands they need done. I have been doing that for several years now but I can't visit the local nursing homes any longer and my parents who live in MI are locked in their assisted living facility. Strange and difficult times for many and truly tragic times for some.

That game had a spike of activity, and if I had to guess I'd say we are both less than pleased with how it's going.

Cheesesteak -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (3/30/2020 2:43:52 PM)
Guch is back! So is the Japanese airforce over Burma. He swats 12 Hurricanes out of the sky over Mandalay. In return, our 4Es set fire to 2 xAPs and 2 xAKs he had sitting in port at Milne. Lord Howe is ripe for invasion as soon as we know the KB is going. He is likely trying to bait us into a move there. Unfortunately, he is suffering a bit from overextension. Baker Island should have fallen already if we had better positioned ourselves. As it is, that is likely 2 weeks away. We are starting to heavily damage some I-boats around Auckland. Hopefully some of them founder on the way back.

aaffins -> RE: Always with them negative waves... Aaffins/Cheesesteak v. RADM Yamaguchi (4/28/2020 3:52:28 AM)
Roughly what date was this in the game? VAC and I have kind of taken turns in chunks rather than an either/or...I think I've done the last 5 or so
