soerabaja was blitzed by KB in 2nd turn BTW 2-3 subs are damaged at beginning of game

Sneer -> positive surprise (11/18/2005 1:34:05 PM)
why ? cos I managed to score quite a lot of ships considering main part of cleaning is over all 5 MLs in DEI are sunk so no mine threat to invasion forces PT boats decimated only 5-6 subs in whole area estimated almost no a/c activity on Java Raver doesn't try to attack my carrier force and wait for transports sb could ask why attack soerabaja so long- to prevent any resource transport out of DEi is the answer.

I'm quite happy about result of 5-day phase one no threat to invasion places army should be able to move fast to its objectives naval forces finished job almost without losses heaviest duty was on air forces - managed to acomplish goals but losses are higher then expected. what was better then expected ? - certainly situation on luzon is very good - I managed to cut off west part of PI army - 2 divisions and 4 base forces will not take part in defence of Clark and Manila it means I should have enough superiority to finish them fast almost all light forces are non-existent in DEI - 2BB,7CL,21-24DDs,27 SS and so on Houston escaped and barely anything else also shipping fleet was badly hit so Raver should be unable to move resources out of DEI what was worse ? - follow movement bug in Hong Kong - after 5 day I need to start again high losses in Kates sqns -30 AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/12/41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 17 troops unloading over beach at Cagayan, 42,59 Japanese ground losses: 201 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coastal Guns at Rabaul, 61,88, firing at TF 130 TF 130 troops unloading over beach at Rabaul, 61,88 7 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

BTW Wake isl invasion was not attacked by Raver BTW everybody counts japanese divisions and carriers - how to surprise player who spend so many time on game last thing about fore gamers- how many times allies used force Z to strike invasion on Malaya in AARs available - knowledge about nell/betty is fore running - nobody throws 2 BB away - this is fore play

Sneer does seem to be playing reasonably fairly, with one possible exception. Total surprise throughout should not be possible. The British were aware when the Japanese troop convoys put to sea, and it seems logical they would have alerted the Free Dutch.

Sneer -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/18/2005 10:37:09 PM)
yes and no malaya invasion was a surprise clark field was cought by surprise even many hours after PH

j campbell -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 12:04:16 AM)
The primary amount of damage was done by the CV aircraft and it would be reasonable to assume - unless they were spotted beforehand that they should have equivilant success at Manila harbor or Singapore harbor as at PH. I am not an expert on AA defenses and harbor depths at these locations but the results do not seem to be so unrealistic as to be unbelievable. Note: i rarely see people opt for the Dec. 8 historical start in pbem. i suspect it is because the japanese player (imo) wants to gamble that he can make a better first turn move than was historical. We all know that the Allied players have a major adv in historical play (outside china-where it appears the japanese are abit stronger than expected). they can usually save the bulk of the singapore and manila navies-often merging them with US naval forces later. the command and coordination of ABCD forces is extremely efficient etc etc. i am not complaining abiut the game in any way i just think an option to blast manila/ singapore over PH should be possible- One has to wonder- If the Japanese had not attacked PH what targets would the japanese Cv attacked instead?

Sneer -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 1:29:43 AM)
IRL after 3 days at 10 DEC allies lost 5 BB it is extremaly difficult up to almost imposibble to sink more capital ships anyway as sinking 3 BB at PH is rather difficult then easy and no allied player will give Force Z freely. Japan decides to start to better distribute forces to overcome this problem 5 BB means 1000 VP - I scored 1150 VP for ships in 5 days - very similar result. Unless ground units deployment don't suit me I would strongly prefer playing Dec 8 scenario as it is best start for Japan

Ron Saueracker -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 3:49:44 AM)
My point is primarily with the first move bonus. It was included to allow KB to reach PH on turn 1 within the games mechanics. Should not have been given to any other TF except the Malaya invasion TF, yet ALL IJ TFs can sprint around and move basically a weeks steaming in one day. This results in all sorts exploitation by players. Perhaps the best thing is to design a scenario much like Pry's Scen 16, but have only the historical moves plotted on turn 1 so PH can still happen differently and the Malaya invasion TF can be air attacked by the few aircraft the Allies have available (given the awareness of the Allies to this convoy and the time difference from PH). Anything else on the first turn is really out there in my book.

Capt. Harlock -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 5:36:45 AM)
quote: clark field was cought by surprise even many hours after PH The disaster at Clark Field was not surprise: it was huge luck for the Japanese. Clark Field was alerted, and put fighters and patrol planes in the air. But the Japanese strike was delayed, and the american planes found nothing, and so returned to refuel. When the Japanese bombers finally did arrive, the radar operator was literally out to lunch!

j campbell -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 5:39:42 AM)
ron, Here is the problem - the task forces do not steam that distance in 1 day- KB did not do it in real life and neither does it in the game. what is simulated is the UNDETECTED movement of a task force prior to hostilities. what a non historical japanese opening does is assume that the allied forces miss all the japanese task forces (ie. they are all surprise attacks-what are the odss -i don't know) and allows them advance deployment- they all left harbor (x) amount of days beofre landfall/air assault. perhaps it would have been more "fair" to say you only get historical landings except 1 surprise movement of KB- either to peal or anywhere else of your choosing. in game terms due to the increased probability of KB being spotted if it redeployed to the china sea for an imminent (?)assault on the singapore or manila ports one could play with surprise off and non historical start - or just do the dec 8 start. I do doubt though that the allies would have pre-emptively striked KB had it redeployed north or west of the manila. they would have waited to be attacked but perhaps they would have been on alert. just my thoughts but they seem valid enough.

Raverdave -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 7:38:04 AM)
Well once again I have to put up with months and months of getting my collective arse kicked all over the Pacific. sigh Regardless of what people think of the IJN surprise vonas in the opening move, Sneer has done a very good job of placing me between a rock and a hard place then hitting me with everything that he has got. Most of the forces on the Malay Peninsula have been split and cut off so I have no real hope of combining all of the allied forces there to mount a credible defence, same goes with the PI....this sneer fellow moves with speed. I think that he is setting himself up for a move on Australia/NZ/Noumea or an attack on India. Enjoy it while you can Sneer because come '43 I am going to be doinging some slapping of my own.

sven6345789 -> RE: Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!! (11/19/2005 5:23:06 PM)
I am playing sneer in a pbem, me being allied; I do not really have a problem with japanese taskforces being spread out all over the DEI. If you take a look at what the allies got out of that area historically it isn't really that much. Most ships that sneer destroyed on turn one or two were historically sunk during naval engagements later on. Not to mention that the british actually reinforced singapore and Burma with troops, which ended in captivity. He might as well make the most of the first year to get himself into the best position possible for the inevitable allied onslought starting in 1943. Stopping the US in the central pacific will be very dificult indeed. As much as i know, there was a game where China and Russia was occupied completely. Still, in 1944 the US was fighting close to japan. Loosing battles in China or India does not corrupt your timetable to get to the marianas. problem is that the japanese player might just win an automatic victory before that.
