you put all 10BB on 1 dice roll it is better to build 2-4 separate TF

Tom Hunter -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/16/2006 5:29:25 PM)
Maybe a foolish question but are you flying recon missions over Valdivostok? Also forts can reduce the effect of bombardment. Finally the die roll effect in bombardment is pretty extreme compared to the fairly predictable results we get from air and ground combat, it might be bad luck.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/17/42 RUSSIA Tommorow is scheduled another bombardment of Vladivostok. AF in Vladivostok is closed and he fly only LRCAP with his useless Russian planes and lousy imperialist wildcats[;)]. First BB fleet will punch the shores and then air armada will be unleashed. First group of 100 transport ships approach Port Arthur.Soon Russia fate will be sealed,i will have there 25 divisions,he cant repel that. CHINA Just holding ground,he can do nothing and i cant do nothing. Status quo. PACIFIC Everything is quiet,my LBA waiting in their lairs. If he move anything there hell will unleash[8D].

hawker -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/18/2006 12:07:17 PM)
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/21/42 Another good result in bombardment. Bombardment fleet was at sea and during the night urgent message was received by admiral Tanaka. Message says that target is changed and Nahodka should be bombarded,that is because recons planes brought photos of many planes in Nahodka airport. Tanaka quickly change the course and bombard Nahodka destroying many planes on ground and closing airfield. Allied subs tried to threaten my fleet but they was quickly dispersed by destroyers on escort.SS Gato is badly hit and she probably sink. Fleet retreating to Genzan for refueling. Next night will strike again. Six divisions of Southern area army along with tank,engineer,support units disembark in Port Arthur and tomorrow will march to Harbin,other group of 100 ships approaching Port Arthur and in 3 days they will unload their cargo.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/23/42 RUSSIA Two bombardment fleet approaching shores of Russia and next night hell will unleash again. My bombers resting and reffiting but Zeros can go in battle again. I manage to retrain five zero daitai to 80 exp. Southern area army(1.contingent) marching across Russia to Harbin,i cant wait to hit him with 28 divisions. CHINA He start bombarding attacks in Canton probably to see what i have there. I still have 2500 APs in Canton,maybe thats enough to convince him that i will try to attack in China. But i am not count on that. Training missions of allied bombers almost completely stop,probably because of dreaded Zero pilots[:D]. PACIFIC I am making some regrouping in this area. 16th Army is located in Rabaul 16th ARMY: -2nd division -8th tank regiment -Base force,construction enginers In Rabaul is also located 11th Air fleet which have. -3 Betty squadron -1 Zero daitai -1 oscar sentai -1 Emily recon South seas detachment is located in Lunga along with several SNLF units and support. In Lunga i have two Betty squadron and two zero daitai along with Emily recon. In PM i have naval guard units along with SNLF and NLF units. 150 bombers will be placed in PM with enough fighters,but fighters is needed in Russia front. Also i assembled "Southern pacific fleet" consist of: 1.BB Mutsu 2.CA Haguro 3.CA Myoko 4.CL Yura 5.CL Kinu 6.CL Nagara 7.10 DDs "Southern pacific fleet" is based in Rabaul Support fleet consist of: 1.CL Tama 2.CL Kiso 3.CL Tenriyu 4.CL Tatsuta 5.CL Yubari 6.14 DDs This fleet is based in Kwaielien Everything is prepared for warm welcome to imperialists.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/24/42 RUSSIA Two set of bombardments with no so good results. I hope BBs can do better in next days. Troops are marching thru Russia while others will start disembark in Port Arthur tommorow. Almost milion men will roll in Russia[8D]. I will soon start to crush things here[;)].

Tom Hunter -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/19/2006 6:23:02 PM)
These results are why I don't support the nerf shore bombardment people. Shore bombardment has a very wide range of possible results from huge to practically nothing and that seems to reflect the actual war. It may be one of the few things that works right in the game, wouldn't that be ironic.

1275psi -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/19/2006 11:58:39 PM)
i agree -bombardments are fine -some work -some do not! half the fun of this game is trying to organise them -and balancing potential results to possible losses -you might win, or for a lousy couple of planes, you may lose a BB or -even 2 (like i just did)

hawker -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/27/2006 10:31:36 PM)
I am back online after my internet provider decide to fix my connection(DSL modem burn). Some thoughts about Russia: After SAA disembarks i will have 28 divisions in Russia. Because of bad timing(Jawa) i am very afraid of Russia. Reason,he can bombard my industry in Japan from there. I must make quick victory in Russia and release troops of SAA for other fronts. I am playing very risky,in my point of view that is only way to play with Japanese. I am also counting on "special war"-show my forces everywhere,run arround with KB to scary him and i must say that my "special war" gives better results than front results. Whenever zero shows his AC runs away,if anything that looks like KB shows he runs away. The truth is,i am weak on several fronts and i am depending on LBA to protect my gainings,KB is in Japan,resting refiting. If he attacks now my whole front is in great danger,but if he wait for two months he will be in bad position-very bad. Its a gamble,but it is only way to win this war. PRODUCTION I lost 1200 Zeros till now,but pool are full(268 pc.),i stop production of vals and kates. Zeros are almost retrained(75-80 exp.) He has strategic advantage but he is not use it,in 15 days that will change and hordes of zeros will fly again. He made a big mistake,last month not a single zero daitai was in Japan. He didnt attack industry there(because of scary factor)and now he cant(because of Zero factor). In two weeks troops of SAA will be in position for final attack on Russia and nothing can stop me there. P.S.When i finnish with Russia troops of Kwantung area army will march to China without paying PPs because Russia will be crushed so this house rule will be discarded. I think that is logical

moses -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/27/2006 11:15:47 PM)
Has Russia been activated already so that he can move about?? This should be interesting as it is later in the game then most Russian assaults. He should be dug in at level 9 at all spots and might be able to put up a good fight. My invasions were with 25 divisions in late dec 41 and Russia could not move until I attacked. Having their forces activated and dug in should be worth more then 3 divisions so you're task may be difficult. Good luck.[;)]

He dug in Vladivostok. With 28 divisions i will kick him out to Alaska[8D].

Tom Hunter -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/28/2006 2:54:21 AM)
Glad to see you back this should be fun to watch

jwilkerson -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/28/2006 3:48:19 AM)
Moses, these guys played a house rule that allowed GH 30 days notice before the Japanese attack went in, so GH had good amount of time to prepare.

moses -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/28/2006 6:00:00 AM)
With 30 days to prepare I would think Russia would have shifted forces away from Vladavostock to the center so that with the center solid he will not have large numbers of forces cut off and captured. If he does this it will be a long and costly war for Japan. The first couple months would have Japan capturing the area around Vladavostock and Russia fighting a delaying action in that area while holding everywhere else. But I think after a couple months Japan will be halted. With 28 divisions he must have taken a lot from China and southern area Army.[X(]

Tom Hunter -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/29/2006 4:00:53 AM)
I think the strategy is sound, if he takes out Russia then he has tons of victory points and a huge army to play with. Exicution is everything, both Hawkers attack and Hoepners defense and efforts to counter attack elsewhere. I was a little bit dissapointed that Mogami never went for Russia in the lunacy game so this is a vicarious thrill for me.

hawker -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/29/2006 12:42:05 PM)
GH is still out(probably vacation[:)]). Few thoughts about industry: -I am not expand any of naval shipyards,Shinano is stopped from start and i will stop RO subs.Also,CV scheduled to come in 1945 will be stopped. I was thinking of stoping Musashi but i like big ships[;)]. With these changes i will be able to accelerate Taiho and other CVs without expanding anything. I hope to get Taiho few months earlier. Too bad i cant order my shipyards to produce 5-6 Shokaku class CVs[;)]. -Merchant shipyards i will not change-TK is essential later in war. AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION -Zeros is on 200+ pcs. per month-just enough. -Pool of Sallys is low because of extended bombardment attacks since start of war,i will expand one factory. Not a single Lily is not PDU transfered to Sally. This PDU thing is a bit gamey. -Production of Vals,Kates,Bettys is halted. -Only aircrafts still in production is Zeros,Sallys,Emilys,some transports,all others are halted beause i have enough of everything -A6M3 is on 72 pcs per month-enough because A6M2 goes to A6M3a and i am not converting anything to A6M3. -Not a single Nate is convert to Oscar Not a single HI is not expanded,i am saving everything i can,i am not engage in pacific and DEI must be preserved long as i can. Oil and resource flowing to Japan in astonishing rate(stockpiling,stockpiling,stockpiling) -With Russia i will get big oil plant in one town,i forget the name but i think that is on shores of Okhotsk sea. That will compensate for losses in elsewhere.

hawker -> RE: Zeros bite again!! (1/30/2006 11:14:11 PM)
Gen.Hoepner has some e-mail problems. He will be online this night. I am eager to get this match underway[;)].
