castor troy -> Operation Kneecap - Mundy (J) vs. castor troy (A) - (restricted) (9/21/2021 5:04:59 PM)
Hi! This is Mundy's and mine rematch, switching side. We're going with same settings, same scenario and same house rules as our last match. DaBigBabes B, extended map. House rules: cease fire in China at start no Allied strategic bombing of Japanese held Allied territory no 4E bombers on nav strike below 10,000ft (except USN bombers) no IJ strategic bombing in China pay pp for restricted LCU crossing borders limited tactical night bombing, has to be discussed if a side starts this excessively, strategic night bombing without limits

In a bold move the Japanese Empire brought several aircraft carriers into position near Hawaii and launches an airstrike against the Pacific fleet... lots of damage done but this is Babes and bomb damage isn't as severe as in vanilla but due to a magazine detonation we outright lose BB Nevada... no other BBs were lost and if there isn't a second day strike we will do just fine... actually I'm glad Mundy went for Pearl as I always fear KB in the SRA way more than bombing Hawaii's old battlewaggons even though I hate losing any major ship... Mundy kept a lot of his fighters strafing the airfield which turns out to be a disaster (for the IJNAF) as lots of them were downed even though they also did a lot of damage to the airfield and the aircraft there...

we did lose over two dozen aircraft on the ground today with way more being damaged but that loss isn't as severe as the loss to KB's air arm... surely they haven't lost as many pilots but most likely nearly two dozen fighter pilots were lost over Pearl's airfields as the Zeroes were shot down by flak... Vals take the expected losses and Kate losses were really more than light as they are the real ship killers... only 7 lost for the damage done is an excellent trade...

castor troy -> RE: Operation Kneecap - Mundy (J) vs. castor troy (A) - (restricted) (9/21/2021 5:26:22 PM)
as you can see there are no more ships in danger of being sunk at Pearl if there isn't a second day strike and considering the losses to KB's Zeroes I don't expect a strike even though if I always highly advocate for two if not three days of continuos strikes against Pearl Harbour if you actually go for it... as it stands now we have only lost one BB and that wouldn't be worth it for me to have KB that far away from the SRA as you can sink an old BB any time even with a single sub getting a shot at it...

I know that Japanese minelayer sub is set to lay mines at Bataan by default and therefor I created two minesweeper TFs to go to Bataan (hindsight [8\|]) and after creating the minesweeper TF I created all other TFs at Manila to flee the harbour with the sub TF being the last... what happens? The subs run into the minefield but no other ships at all and my minesweepers did exactly nothing... usually mines are ALWAYS spotted if they are there and you move a minesweeper into the hex...

Not landing real blows yet but I'm preparing to do so. Just no self runner to do so early on as the Allied. Have to mass my limited assets in one or two places and try to hurt the Japanese if a chance arises. If that goes wrong just once it can mean having run out of opportunities for halve a year or longer (if your carriers go down in that process). There should be some CVE and CVL around in the SRA and at least one of them is off Luzon.
