String -> RE: KAMIKAZE! (8/5/2006 10:51:11 AM)
Watch out for those islands btw. Carriers don't like to sail through theses at all and try to go around. It cost me quite a few turns when fighting Andy around Timor and let quite a few of his battleships get away.

PzB74 -> RE: KAMIKAZE! (8/5/2006 1:12:43 PM)
Noemfoor has been out of supplies for 3 weeks, but the individual combat units have reserves. With his current forces it will take months for Andy to get nowhere [:D] I know String, tried to send fleet to Naga and it wanted to go around - so diverted to Roxas first. We have to use this maze to our advantage me thinks.

PzB74 -> RE: KAMIKAZE! (8/5/2006 2:22:03 PM)
No enemy AC over Zamboanga today - not even transports. We continue to reduce the place while the fleet gets into position for a counterstrike. It is risky - way too close to THE enemy fleet just 1-2 days away. The KB sorties in 4 TFs: 1. The Fast Striking Force made up by 3 new Katsuragi class cvs. 2. The Main Striking Force made up by the Taiho, Akagi, Junyo and 3 cvls. 3. The Escort Carrier Fleet made up by 5 cve's - currently split into several TFs. In all some 600 ac will linger north of Zamboanga protected by most of the Imperial AF. The Nihon Kaigun also sorties in strength: 4 Battleship TFs, a Cruiser group and an Destroyer division will close within bombardment range of Zamboanga covering the invasion TFs. The invasion fleet is made up from 3 TFs carrying 2 full Bdes and half of the 109th Div. The last half of the 109th goes into reserve in Manila. Currently loaded in 4500 size APs. Need a reload. An engineer regiment has been loaded at Manila and will also be available. I'm uncertain whether Andy will sortie his fleet for Zamboanga. If he only sorties parts of it, we may be able to outnumber him. If not, a hasty retreat within the air unmbrella in the PI will be the wises action. If we can't defeat him, we may at least delay him. A full fleet sortie will burn 100k fuel. What do the Intel Committee advice? [;)] AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/25/44 More mines from the B-29s....

Andy piced Davao as his target - again! This time the B29s were escorted not only by a large number of Lighthnings, but also Hellcats from approaching carrier TFs! Bloodbath indeed...The Franks performed on a 1-1 basis vs the P38s. Well, at least we're wearing out Andy's long range escorts. That could come in handy... [:)] Andy's cv's closest to Zamboanga including CV Hornet and Formidable didn't conduct any strikes today. Not sure he spotted my carriers, he got all his fighters on 90% CAP and few bombers on search missions. In addition a large enemy fleet is sailing NE towards Zamboanga and should arrive shortly. These TFs may include troops and supplies. I will add another post with screenies and comments soon. AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/27/44 My sub laid mines claimes a victim!

PzB74 -> KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/5/2006 10:50:31 PM)
Well, Andy is psychic...no doubt about it. Not much other to add. The KB is gone - again [8\|] Andy moved the bulk of his carriers to a perfect intercept position West of Zoambanga - evading all our surface combat intercept attempts. 300 Zekes didn't stand a chance to stop the massed air attacks that hit 2 out or 3 carrier TFs and sank all cv's. Not sure how Andy could have found out, sigint is the only explanation, but even from siging he couldn't possible have guessed that I would leave the KB in exactly the same position as yesterday. Well, can't fight divine insight, so I guess we'll just carry on until the end. Surface Fleet and remaining carriers retreating to Manila. Invasion continues under a heavy CAP umbrella. Kamikaze units put on high alert. The enemy has lost a lot of fighters and will be hard pressed to protect their own carriers and intercept our invasion. Seems like more enemy ships are streaming north from Sulawesi. We hit 2 battleships today with 250kg bombs...and a destroyer was torpedoed.

well, what can i say... i know exactly how are you feeling - not only once Andy was just one day ahead of me... at least you may re-capture Zamboaga (i hope)....

Nemo121 -> RE: KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/5/2006 10:58:42 PM)
Damn! Just keep trying to drain his fighters and then hit him with Kamis. You've got to try and salvage something from this and a fighter drain + kami tactic seems the best bet right now.

FeurerKrieg -> RE: KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/5/2006 11:00:11 PM)
I wouldn't fret too much over loss of the carriers. A bummer for sure, but if they kept all those allied planes from hitting your transports during the first unloading phase, they may have served about as useful a role as they possibly can in the late war, especially if you are able to retake Zamby. Also, you did take out quite a few of his fighters, which is a rare thing no matter what in 44.

ChezDaJez -> RE: KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/5/2006 11:14:31 PM)
quote: Also, you did take out quite a few of his fighters, which is a rare thing no matter what in 44. Yes, the fighter-fighter loss ratio for the day was only 2.5:1 in favor of the allies and considering that his carrier pilots are probably very highly trained, you did well. Yes, bummer about the carriers but they did their job and protected the transports. Andy must surely have to withdraw his carriers to replenish his losses. Andy is a wiley opponent and he can be counted on to do what you least expect! Chez

LittleJoe -> RE: KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/5/2006 11:18:24 PM)
Yes youve hurt him quite a bit as well, with his Fighter losses, that will set him back a bit. Forget your Carriers, as your Kamikazes proved earlier in the week, every base you own is now a unsinkable Carrier, from which the Divine Wind can strike ;)

PzB74 -> RE: KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/6/2006 12:12:38 AM)
Thx for the support guys! I can survive without the carriers, but a bit annoying that they die so easily. 300 Zekes on CAP were just wiped out in ONE attack. This game will indeed be more playable during the latest years with Nicks mod! [&o] I had no reason to believe that Andy would send SO MANY carriers WEST of Zamboanga. Going to do the next turn and see what happens. Will not strike for the carriers, a lot of unprotected TFs further south. These are the main objective for 7 Kami groups. Also sent several surface combat groups to Zamboanga, nothing bigger than ca's though. Battleships are flanking back to Manila. Let's hope Zamboanga can be recaptured. If not we will tie Andy's forces to the area for quite some time to come and harass him daily. The Yamato/Musashi Battlegroup was actually in the hex NEXT TO Andy's mega carrier group [:D] They didn't even see them - told this to Andy [:D]

Khorne will be pleased [;)]. Nice kami attacks there. 2-4 CVE .. has to be a good exchange in 44. the days of the imperial japanese carrier arm is long over RIP. although the loss of so many allied a/c is very good news for your LBA later on. and as you say NIKMOD might be very important late war for japan. I think we all tend to forget just how long ago this all started and most new games with various mods/patches will be rather differant in the latter years. Hats off to you though vs early stock F4U's ! .. and the F6F's got a real battering too.

ChezDaJez -> RE: KB destroyed of Zamboanga! (8/6/2006 1:47:40 AM)
Great job, PzB. I think the first CVE you hit, Natoma Bay, is one of the escort carriers that furnishes replacement aircraft to his battle carriers. I could be wrong though. If you so, you have dealt a good blow because it will reduce his ability to keep his air groups on his carriers at full strength. His fighter strength must be weakened on his fleet carriers and now they won't have as many aircraft available to replace losses. BANZAI!!! Chez "Carriers, Japan don't need no stinkin' carriers!" EDIT: I just looked at the Allied OOB. Natoma Bay is a standard CVE and not a replenishment carrier, DARN!

PzB74 -> KAMIKAZE MENACE! (8/6/2006 2:06:48 AM)
That was just a taster Rob [:)] Here is a list of all the enemy CVE's that were hit today: CVE Liscome Bay, Kamikaze hits 3, on fire, heavy damage CVE Ommaney Bay, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CVE Manila Bay, Kamikaze hits 1, on fire CVE Petrof Bay, Kamikaze hits 1, on fire CVE Prince William, Kamikaze hits 3, on fire, heavy damage CVE Natoma Bay, Kamikaze hits 7, on fire, heavy damage [&o] We hit them all the way down to Noemfoor and at Sulawesi! Ammo and fuel storage explosions everywhere! Even though only the Natoma Bay sank, the Liscome Bay and Prince William will soon follow suit. Somehow our own escort carrier TF decided to move closer to Zamboanga!? Did the Commander devise this scheme by himself? CVE Chuyo, Bomb hits 19, on fire, heavy damage sinks CVE Shinyo, Bomb hits 11, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage snks This question will remain un-answered...but his sacrifice caused heavy enemy air losses. Damage to the enemy's supply train and carrier fighter is very heavy. Andy said he did not expect to meet a refurbished KB and had hoped to hit our surface combat units. It is possible that our -costly- Zamboanga offensive actually pre-emptied the enemies plans and cast them awry! [8D] Despair one day and jubilation the next! This battle is ferocious - not sure I can take much more of it [;)] I continue to mass air units over and around Zamboanga. More Kami units have been dispatched, but the enemy must surely be alerted by now. Enemy troop transports are moving towards Zamboanga, but tomorrow they will have to turn around, cause we got 31k crack troops in place with 530 assault points. Will the sacrifice of the KB be worth the re-capture of Zamboanga and disruption of the enemys plans? The KB will once more - the last time - go back to port and repair battle damage. Only the Taiho and 2 light carriers survived the battle and will join the Katsuragi, Shokaku and Zuikaku when they finish their repairs. The CVL Ibuki today left Tokyo Harbour on a top secret mission armed with 27 of the new 'Grace' TBDs aboard.

Think it was the Bushido spirit of the Kamis that drove of the enemy fighters Kkoovoo! Now you can check the rest of the CVEs that were hit Chez, should be a replacement cve among them1? There were absolutely NO CAP fighters above them. Ground Reinforcements 06-44 Numerous new combat formations have been formed from Naha near Okinawa to Saigon in Burma. Tarakan, Balkipapan and the other bases in Borneo are no longer vulnerable to anything but a full scale enemy attack. A full division is being moved from the Marianas to reinforce Formosa. In 14 days the following Divisions and Brigades will arrive: [image]local://upfiles/1466/9645A35271B847AEAEBE946C58A0A9EF.jpg[/image]

You suffered so many terryfying defeats in the air but the backbone of your air force is not broken (do you have any backbone? [:'(] ) I dont think anyone is too far in Niks mod. But when I imagine all your massive strikes, which were wiped out by UberCap - a lot of Andys ships would lie on the bottom of the ocean. Yes, the CAP is too good in the game, but it is also to easy for Japan to outproduce Allied in ACs and to train green pilots to average level (60 - 1 month), so they are as good as Allied trained replacement.
