deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/19/2020 1:25:24 AM)

March 17,
not much is happening right now some some Aussie brigades spawned in Colombo a few turns ago and I just picked them up and moving them to Indian proper as i fear a future invasion of Ceylon might be here quicker then I think



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/19/2020 1:37:21 AM)

so once the Charlotte and enterprise meet up with Yorktown I think I want to try a raid on either port Morsbey or Rabaul will recon over the next several day since enterprise has to go back to Sydney also there might be a few carriers stationed at truk or some other base since I haven't seen any raids in the south pacific in a while. ik there was atleast 2 carriers mabey 3 plus a cvl or something in India he might have his whole main carrier fleet there with a small portion in south pacific this raid will hopefully draw a conclusion on where he has what stationed

March 18,
so invasion of Ceylon showed up he landed at Jaffna his ships are his carriers at least 4 carriers and a couple cvls maybe my battle fleet leaving Ceylon lost the Ramillies and the othe 2 bb's i had are damaged resolution looks like a goner and will be sunk but the revenge might survive also some of the transports carrying the Aussie bridges were sunk and lost about 6k men from it still around 10k left most likely he will send his carriers after them and the rest will be sunk

A classic case of our opponent running on his own time table and plan. What to do, what to do?



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/21/2020 1:19:10 AM)

ya well right now there isnt much i have the enterprise meeting the Yorktown at Sydney planning for a raid near port morseby i would say about a in game week and its march 21 so i would say around the 28th my raid should start also with apirl nearing my opponent wont be able to do as many landings as before so he trying to rush and land every he can before it runs out



Anachro -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/21/2020 1:25:07 AM)

I would advise against revealing your hand needlessly as to where your carriers are. Not to say that you shouldn't conduct raids where his KB is not, but pick your targets so as to get some transactional value from it. Giving your opponent knowledge of your CV location is valuable, you should be accomplishing some goal to do it. Have you noticed areas/ports of high enemy activity? Have you sent DD/CLs skirting around the CenPac and even Japan to find gaps in Japan's naval search coverage? In one of my past games, I was able to sneak up on Truk and launch a port strike due to finding and using such gaps, I have even tried '42 and '43 raids on Tokyo, though without success in terms of not being discovered early.

Rather than just throwing your CVs at Port Moresby, which could very well turn out to be nothing, pick your target for such a raid carefully and try to get some enemy ships in the process.



RangerJoe -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/21/2020 2:14:40 AM)

In his famous campaign, Greyjoy was able to sneak an invasion into Hokkaido in 1944 . . . [X(]



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/22/2020 12:48:45 AM)

ya the only way i would raid port morsbey if there was anything there seems like nothing is there atm i might run a ca bombardment up there and see what that accomplish and have some other ships scouting around seeing whats where and what i can do



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/22/2020 12:59:06 AM)

ya also most of my dd's are now upgrading so i wont be able to do anything for a while forgot to upgrade them earlier



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/22/2020 3:50:24 AM)

bin kind of busy lately so not posting much on here since being busy and actually nothing really happening in the game so i thought i give a little update on whats happening. Carriers that were raiding the west coast of India seem to be moving back to port for refueling the Ceylon invasion is going so its properly going to take him at least another 2 weeks to clean it up by them its just a matter of time before he invades some where else in India. Bases are getting engs and other units to help defend/build them up and units and planes from Aussie are going to India as we speak might try an route them through cape town then to Karachi to avoid Ceylon but that might take to long and i might just try my luck going super close to the edge of the map will see.



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/22/2020 4:06:45 AM)

so here's some long term plans depending on how everything goes every where else. so the plan is around September or October after some more ships and troops arrive I would like to invade these three bases. Tulagi as it's a decent port and putting some support ships there can help repair minor damage and a decent supplying area since the port level can be 7, the island to the right of Tulagi Russel island has the ability of being a level 7 airbase were I can put what long range fighters i have but more importantly my heavy and medium bomber's can now bomb Rabaul and possibly truk then Tagula island as another fighter/bomber base for rabaul and then port morsbey

Many times, The Japanese take Diego Garcia after Ceylon to try and cutoff your forces coming in from Cape Town. That might be his next target before the clock runs out on the amphibious bonus.

Usually I wouldn't post something like this ... I'm not a spelling snob or anything. But it's in the actual title of your AAR. So, with reluctance, here goes: "in tatters" means "shredded"; "in taters" means "inside potatoes".

So they are stuffed or twice baked!



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/23/2020 1:10:04 AM)

so he actually invaded Cochin this turn with what few days he has left there is still about 5 days left so he can still invade it with small forces but hopefully he doesn't



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/23/2020 1:12:32 AM)

ya sorry about the mix up i was really hungry when I wrote this and I guess I had taters stuck in my head instead of tatters



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/24/2020 11:43:13 PM)

still busy as ever so post are going to be every couple turns and i will summarize what i do between those turns for a while until things calm down when school and stuff is over



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/24/2020 11:54:10 PM)

so a a recap over the last couple turn's a small carrier versus land aircraft battle happened one carrier got torped and will be out of commission for like a month or two will hopefully be available for when the wasp arrives then I can start prepping my ships for my invasion planned late august early September if things go well.
Next i bombarded port Morsbey with a small cruiser task force not much damage done but that's since most of my dd's were out of commission and i didn't want a Hugh task force for subs to pick once the rest of my cruiser upgrade start upgrading tomorrow i will gather more ships and start doing more bombardments of his islands/bases to get ideas what he has in the south pacific plus get more recon to luganville to start the recon of the bases i want to hit with other bases to delude what i might have planned



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/24/2020 11:59:48 PM)

so this is what I've seen for Perth so far the thing i circled red is what i believe to be true the other one's i believe are diversions for the India invasion

deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/25/2020 2:24:56 AM)

most days i won't post twice but since i don't work early tomorrow i will.
Apirl, 1st
the Carrier formidable arrived in Perth today got torped on its way in for a whopping 4 sys 7 eng damage got really lucky with this or that would mean formidable and Yorktown out of commission for a few months also more sweeps happening in India like usual think i'll turn off my planes this turn to let them rest and maybe soul think he can start bombing don't know



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/25/2020 2:29:28 AM)

so that task-force circled is the 3 divs i'm trying to send to India so here a question what I did in red is the planned route i want to take to get to Goa or Karachi to avoid possible carrier's near Capetown without getting to close to Ceylon or take the long way and go off map then go up to Goa or Karachi that way?

deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/25/2020 2:32:01 AM)

more near Perth is a task force with 25 american air units intended for Aussie but now redirected towards India should i take the same path as this task force or go a different way?



Evoken -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/25/2020 3:15:48 AM)

I would suggest Capetown > Karachi way as he controls a few airfields at Ceylon you should be in torpedo range if he brings any Betties



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/25/2020 4:04:06 AM)

ya that's most likley what i will end up doing



Bif1961 -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/27/2020 3:08:45 PM)

I would say all those SIGINT hist, which seem to be China based units are either false to throw you off or forward planning when he conquers China.



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/29/2020 1:12:29 AM)

ya i would agree with that still two divs are in Aussie encase anything happens plus they are planning for future operations



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/29/2020 1:17:18 AM)

April 12, not much has happened the last couple turns lots of sweeps over India lots of dead British fighters but the american ones will be showing up within the month so they will boaster the defenses of India



deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/29/2020 1:24:58 AM)

I've also started moving brigades and support units to Hawaii for invasion plans coming later this year with planning building on them all i need to do now when i feel its close enough to that time and transports will be moved into place and units will load and move to Aussie to gather up and then launch from there
