deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/29/2020 1:33:25 AM)

the British fleet will go to Aussie since i want to gather my carriers there then send them off to raid places. but the French fleet no idea where i want it the Dunkerque class are really nice bc that will help a lot guarding carriers but since they start in balboa they can go either to Aussie or India any ideas where they should go?




Bif1961 -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/29/2020 6:38:30 PM)

It has the speed to escort carrier TFs and with forward firing 8x 13 inch guns she is a flexible design going forward, they gain no advantage crossing it's T. it has a power 16x 5.1 DP guns should do well against air targets as well.




RangerJoe -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (8/29/2020 7:15:29 PM)

I consider them Cavalry types of ships since they are meant to charge the enemy and not to run away. [:D]




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (9/2/2020 1:33:44 AM)

As usual a update from me so as of now not much still happening on most fronts the china front has bin active for a while and a Hugh force of 2 to 3 divs plus other units marched and cut off south china for now about 50k units in that stack moving north with at least one brigade or less covering his supply hex. about a day ago a small ca task force went on a suicide run to tackle a carrier fleet bombing Bombay did some damage to some of the enemy carrier but nothing much might be out for a week if that. but otherwise not to much happening

[image]local://upfiles/64373/8263601E58284E438A3539EBD4E30283.jpg[/image]




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (9/5/2020 12:45:18 AM)

May 1,
so in the aluetions he finally moved some zeros up there to stop me from bombing him more bombings and sweeps in India not much their I can do until I get better planes plus get some more air groups in India. but right now i have about 16 air groups in India i can put them all in one place and focus on one area maybe Calcutta and leave a couple near Karachi to defend that port.




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (9/5/2020 12:49:57 AM)

looks like a possible cve near adak

deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (9/8/2020 11:27:46 PM)

May 13,
Stuff as normal India is slowly getting pushed lots of stuff happening in china lots of units on Japanese units that tried to cut off the entire south from the north but not much else i could do against that since its all rough terrain that can seriously hurt what corps i have on those hex. also lots of more brigades and at least one more div going to India from USA right now they should all be there within the next month or two and hopefully my situation isn't bad there.




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (9/8/2020 11:31:01 PM)

As of right air war in India is look not the greatest most of my fighter are off in the back getting some r&r and getting to max squads so i can base them together try to bomb his airbases once i find where they are. i think my first thing is to get him out of south India so my goal with this is to group my fighter and bombers out of madras and start bombing units while i move some tank's down there to encircle and trap units while my dis move forward. once he kicked out of south India if i can do that i will focus all my units to defend the north and try to recapture what i lost.





deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (9/8/2020 11:49:30 PM)

this is the plan so far 27th USA div will move to Bangalore to stop the Japanese from taking that position while the 70th British with an arm brigade will move down to cut off the rail hex while the 40th USA div and the 26th India brigade will move to push back the unit in front of Salem while to arm Brigades will move south along that rail hex and move towards the roads to cut it off. if all goes well he will move reinforcements from other bases/regions to stop it or risk losing this region.

Bif1961 -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/5/2020 4:53:35 PM)

Don't apologize, we appreciate you keeping us informed on the Allied side of this contest.




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 2:17:23 AM)

so its bin a while and i've bin really feeling like posting in here again I wont update you on what's happen while I was on hiatus and not posting since my opponent soul has bin keeping you guys up to date but i'll give you guys a run down of what I've bin doing and what i'm going to do here soon




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 2:24:35 AM)

so right now here what I have going on i will have some pictures here soon showing off what doing where from scouting around and some intel reports I believe that his carriers are on there way back to truk so with that knowledge I will be moving in another division, regiment and another combat engineer to Adak island for reinforcements. Right now I'm waiting on some yms to move near Kodiak so I can sweep mines at Adak before i invade the island, plus my bb's need to fill up there 16 inch ammo. But here's a question for you guys does ake's fill them up or should I head them back to Seattle to refill them?




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 2:51:00 AM)

so this is the task force at Kodiak I have 3 old bb's plus one of my 28 speed one's guarding the invasion task force in addition to some ca's and cl's plus numerous dd's. the reinforcements I plan on lading are 1st marine division, the 34th combat engineer regiment, 22 marine regiment, and the 802 combat engineer battalion. I plan to send those all to Adak within the next few weeks I'll have plenty of air cover from p-38's sweeping at cold boy plus a couple of cve's to guard the air for them.

deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 3:19:16 AM)

right now this will be my next operation invading Socotra and Masirah to open the path for ships to start going back to Karachi and possibly Bombay this will take at least a couple months for units to move into position and air units along with the my cv's that will move other there while I believe most of his carriers are near truk or some other position near Adak since that's the last time I saw them and he still believe my carriers are in the Aleutians .

deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 3:23:58 AM)

also for those invasion i will invade with a minimum of at least 2 divs each plus combat engineers and possible a regiment as well




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 3:55:14 AM)

another question for you guys how does pt boat creation work for the allies like where do I look to see where I get reinforcements or do i create a certain amount per month?




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (10/30/2020 6:00:30 AM)

I also forgot to mention that my main carrier fleet is heading over to the pacific ocean as well Yorktown, Wasp, and Charlottesville just got to balboa and are about to head to cape town I estimate around 20 days for them to get there then Enterprise was in Sydney repairing and is heading off to Perth then Cape town this should take here 4 to 5 days to Perth then at least another 20 to 25 days to head to Cape town.




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (11/1/2020 2:13:20 AM)

nothing much happened over the last couple days still have stuff moving into position for the reconquest of the islands off of Karachi this operation I hope launch by the middle to end of November we will see what happens depends on how long it will take for me to refit and repair ships at cape town while planes and ships gather there for offensive operations




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (11/1/2020 4:28:04 PM)

deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (11/1/2020 7:08:00 PM)

just had a convoy reach Perth with lots of planes for aussie out of those 9 groups of them are heavy bombers once there filled i can then use them to bomb him relentlessly at bases here and make him divert more fighters from other areaa to stop my bombing and some of these airgroups will now divert back to capetown as well since I now plan for opening Karachi back up and will need airgroups back up in there for when I liberate the siege




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (11/3/2020 12:59:27 AM)

29000Kevin -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (11/3/2020 11:08:21 PM)

Aww my AMC heart has been crushed.

But Japan has no business parking those ships out of Perl Harbor and expecting to not get caught when the weather turns clear.

I could complain that killing them with a Catlina is inhumane since since the normal TB and DB planes need the experience for attacking targets when their moved into hot war zones but why would I do that.

But then again the Catlina was the only US plane to successfully torpedo a Japanese ship during the battle of Midway so I give it that credit.

Good job with the kills.

2 out of 13 Japanese AMC's have been lost now, unless the RA mod provides more AMC's to Japan.




deaniks -> RE: (RA) Allies in Taters Deaniks(A) vs Soulsilver(J) (11/4/2020 1:57:19 AM)

actually a lot more I think I've killed 5 Japanese amc's now.
