Luskan -> RE: Aussie Affair, Beta's Twilight (6/12/2004 5:48:11 AM)
|
Well the new first turn has arrived and I must say - it was disappointing.
Although I took down more of Raver's aircraft than ever, bad weather grounded many squadrons in the SRA - meaning the raids on Singapore didn't launch. Worse, my pearl harbour efforts were not nearly as good as they should have been and my aircraft got way over flakked and underachieved. Two USN bbs went to the bottom - the rest are going to be just fine.
I did manage to take Wake and Bataan island - first turn, but my troops unloading at Aparri, miri, Brunei, Davao, Cagayan, Jesslton, khota bharu, legaspi, rabaul, guam and my paratroops trying to snatch Bataan . . . well they haven't taken their objectives yet (hopefully some will tomorrow).
Had all these transports lined up to launch two parachute regiments into Bataan to try and snatch the place one turn 1 and ruin Raver's defence. The range was too great and the result was barely any troops got to bataan. Bad start.
This next turn should right a few of the wrongs I hope. I have a new plan for China, Burma and Kendari - which you will all see the fruits of very soon. Also a new plan for the PI - a brilliantly daring one this time.
