Personally speaking if you are running into a bug in which no air action is possible then the absolute minimum that AndyMac should do is agree to simply stand down the entire Red Air Force and agree not to base ANY Allied planes out of their bases. It is silly to pretend this is any sort of reasonable "game" when you can't launch attacks and he can. Ideally he'd stand the whole theatre down but I doubt he will do this... He wants to win and he has made so many mistakes with his CVs and amphibious landings that now this may be his only option for a guaranteed win within the timeframe.

Gen.Hoepner -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/1/2007 7:53:30 PM)
Agree. Ask for a stop of the air ops in that theatre

ahh PzB didn't realised that was Mech corps...[:D]... i suggest game on hold until experts solve (lets hope) this problem... I'm not for such hybrid solution as Nemo121 proposed...

Regarding the ground movement, I have experienced something similar in my PBEM. As japanese I have surrounded 80k allied troops in Darwin. I had tank regiments on all hexes around it just to be sure that enemy will not retreat to wilderness, but made a mistake and sent the tank regiment sitting on the railway south of Darwin to the city to join my 3 divisons there and launched shock attack. I thought the "J" is satisfying to prevent allied movement from shared hex. In the same turn my oponent tried to order retreat with the target base Charters Towers. And it WORKED!!! Despite the fact that half of the railway between Darwin and Charter Towers was in my hands (signed by two NLF advancing to Charter Towers to "J"). The Darwin was taken, as there were no defenders, because the whole enemy force marched south to the "J" hex in the same moment as my 100k troops attacked north. Somehow it happened they didn´t meet each other :-) We just changed the positions and now it was me, who was surrounded in Darwin with 2 australian division blocking the railway.. my reaction was "WTF!!!!"..

Do you think the experten will have time to fiddle with the code on this so close to December 7th?

PzB74 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/1/2007 9:10:23 PM)
Thanx for the input guys! The reason why I'm not too keen on just standing down all air ops and go on with the show is that Manchukuo is the _one_ theater were Japan has complete air supremacy. We will loose a lot of points from not destroying the Red AF, bombing resources, industry and interdicting enemy LCU. The latter is vital to slow the Red Steam Roller down and maybe inflict enough fatigue and disruption to tip the scale in our favor in THE most important battle (e.g. for Harbin). We've already lost valuable time, for 10 days the AF should have been pounding ground units and hitting Red airfields. Have to reach an agreement with Andy about what to do....

Tooooooo baaaaaad to say good bye to andy's red army so soooooon.......[:(][:D]

PzB74 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/2/2007 1:26:58 AM)
Andy came with some suggestions and I sent mine back. In short; We will fight for Harbin without air forces. The Red Air Force will stand down. If Harbin falls I will retreat the Manchukuo Armies to Korea and then we will stand down all further combat. Andy suggested that no army units should be moved out of Manchukuo but I said that my Southern Area Army units have been moved to Manchukuo to defend Harbin. If Harbin falls I would like to be able to move them back to the Home Islands. A compromise with a stand off at Harbin in other words. I _know_ I can't hold - but will not yield without a fight. The good thing for me is that all of my Manchukuo Army will not be squashed even if I loose....and the Armored reserve will come in handy in the Home Islands. Can't say I'm really happy about this...

PzB74 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/2/2007 11:52:29 PM)
Seems like I'm able to move troops from Arshaan even though there are numerous Red Army troops to the SE. Just like the AI doesn't know that Japan is at war with the USSR...only that the USSR is at war with Japan [8\|] I'm moving our Air units out of Manchukuo - they will come in handy in the Home Islands. 150 Shindens and 150 Franks as well as 500 level bombers will be made available.

Naskra -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/3/2007 6:55:35 PM)
PzB, have you tried targeting a Soviet base in order to trigger a two-sided Russo-Japanese war?

PzB74 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/3/2007 7:11:32 PM)
The traditional and war mongering government in Imperial Japan believes in the traditional war cries Pauk-San [:D] Brann is a team from Bergen, some way north of were I come from. They won the Norwegian League this year and could give a good fight, but they lack international experience... Lost 0-2 for Hamburg in the last match. Not only have I targetted a Sovet base, we marched into Okah in Sakalin and captured the place... [:'(]

PzB74 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/4/2007 1:51:47 AM)
Afraid I've tried most tricks in the book to activate the Russo-Japanese war properly [:(] Now it's too late and I'm moving Base Force units to Korea and re-basing the Air Force. Today's air strike from the Taiho met almost 100 CAP fighters and the AF at Pagan decided to take a break day despite clear weather. Only 3 dive bombers got through but all failed to hit the carrier Hornet. The enemy ships sailed a more south easterly course than we thought they would and our surface interceptors found nothing but empty ocean! Nothing else of interest to report really.

pauk -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/4/2007 8:55:07 PM)
i can not understand why Andy keeps sending transports to Russia too... perhaps he gathering because he wants Russians in the Home islands too? Nice work, PzB... it is depressing that you can not conduct air attacks, but i'm not sure that air supperiority would help you a much against Red bear (especially if/when Andy split LCUs)... perhaps IJA and IJN AF will have a better job to do in HI? Do you know why he is waiting with A-bombs? (perhaps he will drop them just before invasion?).. And, please, can you count your all Ki-102 airgroups - how many of them you have? Soon i will recive them too, but i don't want to convert too many bomber groups to this FB. They will be quite useful for defending HI skies against B-29 until Andy can add figher escort to Superfortresses and thus will free figher groups for frontline duties...

saj42 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/5/2007 3:02:28 PM)
PzB, I think that to correctly activate the Russian and Japanese forces you may need to move a unit over the border on the road to Vladivostok. I remember reading that there were problems in the early release of the game and that was a Dev's 'work-around' to the problem. Could you give it a try?

Honda -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/5/2007 4:23:48 PM)
Maybe just to drop a few paras on a Soviet base...

soeren01 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/5/2007 5:20:48 PM)
Maybe just a sub landing at a soviet base ?

PzB74 -> RE: 2 Ohkas hit Essex carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (11/6/2007 10:53:29 PM)
I will count how many Randy units I got Pauk - still got one light bomber unit with Lily's to expend the last ac. They're useful interceptors, but as soon as long range fighters arrive they're toast. There's no reason to hold back the A-bombs - the longer he wait the longer our production centres will remain intact! Maybe he's having problems? Veery nice Bonsai's [:D] (Why are the links dead today?) We have already dropped paras on the Soviet base of Okah Sakalin, didn't help. Troops are marching towards Vladivostok. Will arrive next turn - Andy is busy these days so no turns.

Thanx guys, it is mostly the general interest all readers have shown for this AAR that keeps it alive! [:)] It is a bit demanding to play in 1945 - old bugs is one thing, the challenge is to keep full focus at times. Andy is doing a great job, but I suspect that he isn't putting all heart and soul into all his turns. Bombers are sent enmasse to targets without regards for losses and all our isolated bases are mostly left alone, allowing us to hit unescorted troop and supply convoys at will. If Andy wanted to he could have smashed all these 'nests' in his rear, kept our forward air bases suppressed and escorted his convoys. As it is our 'victories' are a bit empty, like shooting clay pigeons. Thousands of B-29s are pounding smalls islands from 5-7000 feet while ships are moving in the the Sea of Japan. At times I wonder if I should just pack it up and call it quits - what else is there to show and achieve? Right now I'm trying to re-build the Fleet for one last stand.

I take a few days break when I feel that I don't have the motivation to finish a turn 'properly' by going through the entire routine; checking all squadrons, ships, factories etc. Can easily understand that this is a monstrous task for the Allies in 45!! Just the US subs require lots of time to place and move. Talking about subs, with more than 60% of our ASW assets blasted or busy with other tasks, it would have been a true menace to have them in our remaining supply and com lanes right now. Fortunately? not a single sub has been spotted lately. I haven't seen anything of the nuke's yet either, strange....we're just a few days away from the historical VJ day.
