AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 01/28/42

I ws extremly lucky this day.KB attack port of Soserbaya sinking ships there.I manage to sink several DDs one CL and submarine.
He engage KB with Beuforts and other obsolete plains from Soserbaya and somehow manage to break Zero protection with heavy losses on his side,but two torpedoes struck Akagi[:@].
Becouse i was west of Jawa i am making great gamble,all KB will cover wounded comrade to safety,that means that i must repeal another attack.Becouse of damage Akagi taken(flt 50,but right now no fires and sys at 14)i must take shortest route to Balikpapan.
Akagi was escorted by two deastroyers and covered with KB.All fighters on KB are on 90 CAP.
Akagi can make 20 knots so we rushing to Balikpapan.The night falls and his damned PT boats rush to engage my ships.Two BBs hit by torpedo but minor damage.I am survive the night!
Day is come and he lunch attack from Soserbaya,zeros this time did a good job and he score only one hit with bomb on Yamashiro and one DD is hit.Tomorrow CVs are on safe.
I am really furious right now,Akagi will be away approx two months becouse of repairs[:@].
He has 48 units on Jawa[X(],that means India is unprotected.As soon as Singapore falls i am going for India,he will pay for his ignorance.
Manila is bombard every day and soon will be only dust.

oh, that was bad one... that's reason i never stay so long in dangerous area (I learn this lesson on my skin too unfortunatly). Even mighty KB can be wounded with lucky punch....

hawker, do you have some time to post some screens (air losses, naval losses, oil&resouce situation and general overview of the theatres)... ?

STRATEGIC EVALUATION

All plans for Australia are rejected by imperial command.We now developing the new plan.
There is are two main battlefields to concern:
-SW Pacific
-Jawa

JAWA

This island is must be taken.Plan is simple.
After we liberate Manila and Singapore seven divisions,5 tank regiment,4 eng. units will be deployed for quick conquest of Jawa

SW PACIFIC

This will be our last attack before going to defensive.
Eight divisions with support units will go for Noumea.I plan to invade north tip of New Caledonia and start bombard from there.
After Noumea is ours,Luganwille will fall too.
Then i will determine defensive perimeter,
-Wake: level 5 AF with two squadrons of bettys and two ditais of Zeros.
-Kwaialein
-Tarawa
-Lunga
-Noumea
That will be front bases.
Supply rear bases,
-Truk
-Rabaul
KB will be stationed in Rabaul for quick response on everythig he do.
With any luck i will be able to hold this perimeter and prolong the war.

i assume that GH posts screenshots in his AAR,i need someone to look in his AAR and mine also,see the screenshots and tell us does we play on diferent maps.
THANKS!




pauk -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 6:16:06 PM)

hi, i think you are playing on the same map - AB? but just to be sure here is pic from his AAR (don't worry, this is the old one, from decembar)

[image]local://upfiles/4569/AC0C955514104BFC95042940E5EA4631.jpg[/image]




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 6:27:45 PM)

Yes AB,but which version,on my map thare is a road between Moulmein and Tavoy,and there is no river crossing south of Yenen.His units south of Yenen seem to approach from "nowhere"




Sneer -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 6:28:57 PM)

why so many (55) ships lost by japan?




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 6:31:32 PM)

Hi Sneer,
Lost ships is most due to his subs.Furthermore,i make several runs into Manila bay and Singapore,there i lost ships.
He sunk only one with aircraft.




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 6:42:52 PM)

There is problem,
Pauk sent me partial map around Moulmein,in GH map Moulmein is "river cross hex",on mine there is not.Also,in his mapthere is railway between Tavoy and Moulmein,on mine there is not.
HELP!!!




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 11:20:45 PM)

I sent e-mail to GH with house rules i proposing.
Here is the e-mail:

I think we must agree with some house rules in Burma becouse,
-If we have same map,i would conquer Rangoon long time ago.
-you can move fast in your map while i cant.
Proposing house rules:
1.You must pull your forces north of Rangoon or left only small garrisons there
2.I cannot move with these forces north of Rangoon(I mean those two divisions which advancing to Moulmein)
3.If you agree with these house rules i will cancel attack on India with 5 division already loaded in Singapore.
4.Attack on India will be postponed four months
Its your move now.


What do you think guys?




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/15/2005 11:22:12 PM)

If he disagree with these house rules i will conquer India and put Yamashita staff in Karachi[8D].




Tom Hunter -> RE: Problems!!! (11/16/2005 10:17:51 PM)

Why bother, you have the right map, he has the wrong map. Hoepner should know about it so that he can fix it, but it does not sound like the game has been affected at all.

I would not have told him about the attack force. He may not be afraid of it anyway, and I am not sure the offer is really relevant.

You want the same maps so that your game plays correctly, not because of strategic advantge to one side or the other. I would just ask him to get on the same map you are using.




mc3744 -> RE: Problems!!! (11/16/2005 11:50:33 PM)

He has overwritten v. 3.0 and now our game is stuck because 3.0 is no longer available on Spooky's or Andrew's sites. [:(]

At least now yours can go on [8|]




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/18/2005 5:52:39 PM)

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 02/19/42

First of all,i am sorry for not updating this AAR last days but i was constantly "on the road".
I have a hard time even for making turns.Now,this AAR is back to life.
There is no need for house rules becouse GH has upgraded map.
MC,i am sorry[&o][&o]

JAWA

Everything is ready,next few days 25th army will be loaded on transports and sent to Jawa.
Imperial HQ is decided to land in Merak after that base is taken with our brave paratroopers.
Then 25th army will unload under umbrella of fighters from KB.
Next move will be Batavia,he has some 5k troops in Batavia and base will be taken at first attempt.
Then,i will put fighters and bombers in Batavia and sealed his airfields arround Jawa.After that our mighty armies will march
south and take Jawa.Simple plan.

25th army:
-5th division
-Imperial guards division
-18th division
-35th bde
-4th mixed reg.
-21st mixed reg.
-23rd mixed reg.


After finishing campaign in Philippines 14 th army will join 25th army in Jawa.

14th army:
-21st division
-16th division
-38th division
-7th tank rgt
-6th tank rgt
-4th tank rgt
-3th eng.reg.
-4th eng.reg.
-5th eng.reg.
-5 artilerry units


He start to bombard Balikpapan with B-17s,but it is only little bother[:D].
Manila should fall in one week.I manage to destroy all forts except one,3 days from now i will deliberate again.
PM,Lunga and Rabaul is developing very well,this will be future perimeter along with Noumea.
In china i start my offensive and allies retreating in all fronts.
This theaters will be elaborated later,now i post screenshot with future invasion of Jawa and current point status,

Sneer -> RE: Problems!!! (11/18/2005 5:59:49 PM)

3 div will be enough for Java
as fara as subs are concerned [8D]
I sunk 27 of them during 5 first day of my new PBEM with Raver
so my conwoys goes unescorted now




hawker -> RE: Problems!!! (11/18/2005 6:13:06 PM)

Hi Sneer,
He has more than 45 units in Jawa according to last report,i plan to overcomitt there.After Jawa i will only take Noumea,then i will go to defensive.(well,except China,and India)[8D]




Sneer -> RE: Problems!!! (11/18/2005 7:11:28 PM)

i fear you overextend your forces
there is no way allies can reinforce Java by more then 1 aus inf bde by Jan 42
so there is nothing what 2 -3 division coudn't cope with
remember that refreshing division after fights take up to 2 weeks - tested in previous PBEM
you will loose close to 6 weeks with almost whole army I think




String -> RE: Problems!!! (11/18/2005 7:19:22 PM)

Better to overcommit than undercommit.




Sneer -> RE: Problems!!! (11/18/2005 7:22:08 PM)

lost time is the only one mistake you can't overcome early in the war as Japan
still enough sallys and battleline can support if needed
there is small time frame window in which you can attack Australia or India and it ends in April/May
