castor troy -> IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR (9/7/2019 1:33:58 PM)
Hi guys! So after coming back to the forum after my long absence due to my accident I'm also back into the game. Was aiming at a PBEM as the Allied commander but am now going as the IJ commander vs Mundy. I really appriciate playing a well known forum veteran!

Orders are given and the first turn goes in... not sure I'm happy about the outcome and at the moment I'm a tad frustrated by the workload one has to do the first turns as the IJ commander AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Dec 07, 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Midget Sub attack inside harbor of Pearl Harbor!!! Japanese Ships SSX Ha-19, hits 3 Allied Ships PC Taney BB Pennsylvania, Torpedo hits 1 PC Tiger PC Tiger cannot reach attack position over SSX Ha-19 PC Tiger loses contact with SSX Ha-19 PC Taney cannot reach attack position over SSX Ha-19 SSX Ha-19 eludes PC Taney by hugging bottom forgot about the subs around Pearl and four of them launch midgets to attack the Pacific Fleet. Have never seen a midget scoring a hit in all the years playing. Won't matter much, a single torp hit will be repaired in Pearl's shipyard probably within 4-5 weeks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submarine attack near Kota Bharu at 53,77 Japanese Ships SS I-157 Allied Ships xAKL Dai Tung, Shell hits 4, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage xAKL Dai Tung is sighted by SS I-157 SS I-157 attacking on the surface at the same time I-157 kills a small freighter. IIRC this attack is something I've always seen in my game starts... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Wake Island , at 136,98 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid spotted at 27 NM, estimated altitude 4,000 feet.

Doing better than the level bombers but not nearly as good as expected... not one torpedo was dropped, the Kates scored an ok number of 800kg bomb hits and the Vals scored their 250kg bomb hits (which don't do all that much in Babes with the reduced bomb damage). End result is probably 10-12 subs sunk, which is not even 50% of the submarine fleet based at Manila. Imagine real life 100+ level bombers plus nearly 300 carrier based bombers attacking a harbour when the main target were the subs and you don't even take out halve of the 25 subs based there... Castor is not happy... [8\|] Not that it would really hurt the Allied player to even lose all subs there, when the duds are fixed he will swim in subs anyways but taking those out early would be usually worth a damaged or sunk IJ carrier in the first year, at least that's my experience. Main reason not to go for Pearl aren't the subs though but the fact that after you attack Hawaii you have your carriers in a corner you don't need them so I opted for Manila.

Group patrol altitude is 10000 , scrambling fighters between 0 and 10000. Raid is overhead this one was extremly surprising to me in more than one way... first off, Mundy forgot to change orders of Force Z, meaning the Brits end up in my bomber range. Second, while Force Z was spotted all day long we only launch one pityful strike that is even shot up by two damned Buffalos and then around halve of my bombers attack from ahead or stern unable to hit POW or Repulse. Those that target the ships broadsides land three torps on Repulse for literally no damage. No follow on explosions, no critical damage, nothing. Repulse doesn't even end up heavily damaged after those 3 torps... what a start... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Afternoon Air attack on Nakhon Si Thammarat , at 51,70 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid spotted at 14 NM, estimated altitude 8,000 feet.

I think that it would be more effective to use the Kates, Nells, and Bettys at 1000 feet with bombs and not torpedoes on the unarmored ships. Put the Nells and Bettys on naval torpedo attack with no torpedoes available and they will carry two 250 kg bombs and four 60 kg bombs at normal range. The Kates will carry two 250 kg bombs. I have had 4 Kates attack and hit with 6 bombs. Even early Allied cruisers are vulnerable to the 250 kg bombs. Also, with the fleeing ships broken into small TFs, split your bombers to be able to attack as many targets as is possible. It is like stomping on bugs.

In my current game against the AI, the Enterprise group ran over a midget sub carrier with no reaction set. I had it going to get another minisub. Out of 8 torpedoes fired, only two hit - one for an ammmo storage explosion, the other for a fuel explosion. It did not try to make Johnston Island and go into the port there. It registered as sunk two days later near Lahina. So luck can be a factor.

One week into the war and I have just finished all changes I had to do to my industry. Aircraft, R&D, engines... insane workload, not to even talk about trying to relocate the merchant fleet to useful locations. Will take another 2 months until I have everything where I want it to be and then it's time to set up all the CS TF and get oil and ressources flowing back to the home islands.

I don't know if you do this, but if you LRCAP his air bases that will increase his OP losses. Even a 10% LRCAP works.

I doubt the enemy will move further North though, I fully expect the carriers to retire... having those two CVs in the area makes invading Rabaul impossible for the moment... when the carriers arrived on the scene I had a convoy just one turn from unloading at Rabaul so that was quite some bad timing for me... if the US carriers stay in the area I expect an evacuation of Rabaul but I'm not sure if those troops at Rabaul are really worth an evacuation operation...

Repulse might still be somewhere for repairs but she vanished after Dec 7th... no escorts with the ship, at least none that are ASW capable which seems quite careless to me as I would definitely escort a BB... might have something to do with KB's strike on the DDs that were on ASW duty off Soerabaja but there should still be enough around to have at least one with POW...
