Sunk airgroups come back 2 or 3 months later I think.There's also transit time. Good catch.

Sneer -> RE: convoy intercepted (6/19/2006 5:44:45 PM)
that hurts my heart

veji1 -> RE: convoy intercepted (6/19/2006 6:16:29 PM)
ah well this is still 3 months during which he cannot mass P38s for escort duties.. just imagine the raids you manage to stop with double the amount of P38s.... So it gives you more time against his bombers... always good..

I would be a little carefull Sneer about cutting off Australia from the West Coast to much as it leads to nasty behavious by the Allied player. In one of my PBEM's it has happened to me when I lost US CV's early and my opponents raided to map edges numerous times despite my best efforts to protect my convoys. I finally got sick of it my reaction was Sod it I cannot be bothered losing convoys with no way of protecting from the full KB I am going to wait mass a huge force at Pearl wait for mid/late 44 and invade way behind the lines with overwhelming force its boring but it is effective If you close down his LOC to much you may find no Solomons or NG or CENTPAC offensive but instead a huge 4 or 5 Corps 20+ Divisional assault covered by 50+ Carriers on somewhere like Formosa/Okinawa/Iwo/Home Islands in late 44 guarded by an unstoppable deathstar. If you leave him no other option........

I think they have an agreement on map edge raiding don't they ?

Sneer -> RE: convoy intercepted (6/19/2006 9:29:54 PM)
1st . i have never been closer than 20 hexes from south edge of map - it is my enemy who uses border moving 2nd. it is difficult to go so far without replenishment TF close and such TF is vulnerable and slow and remember that i need to go fast to make use of bad weather and it is fuel consuming - it is not possible to close LOC with KB in long term 3rd. it was 1/3 of my carrier force so if it was protected it would be difficult - currently allies have similar carrier force - but it is again hidden - enemy convoys are always unprotected and uncovered - sth not possible IRL - it was allies CV duty to cover major shipment 4th. i doubt he can directly go as far as inner isles chain without giving any sign -- it is still limited by logistics BTW it is a place of my reserve force so it is not unguarded and even now it is 7+ fortified if enemy want to land far behind he is welcomed - guadalcanal type battle so late is always good

Raverdave -> The Russian question (6/20/2006 9:35:24 AM)
Seeing as this game will most likely drag on into '46, I wonder if Sneer has taken into account the Rooshan Bear? A detailed look at the boarder shows that there is only the minimum of troops stationed there. When I close my eyes I have pictures of T-34s swarming across the Manchukou boarder with the sky black with Rooshan aircraft.[8D]

Sneer -> RE: The Russian question (6/20/2006 9:52:33 AM)
i know - 1/3 of china army will be devoted to reinforcing this region but if only i reach 45 in such a good shape it will be enough rewarding game

Raverdave -> RE: The Russian question (6/20/2006 10:00:07 AM)
This could be interesting.....the USSR might beat the US to Japan[:D]

Sneer -> RE: The Russian question (6/20/2006 10:08:08 AM)
like all alternate stories and yes that would be very interesting

Sneer -> RE: The Russian question (6/20/2006 10:12:20 AM)
but there is no russian navy - no transports - so no russian unit will ever enter Home islands

Sneer -> for stat-lovers (6/20/2006 10:34:18 AM)
points for 2nd april 43

good i have already fortified kuriles

Sneer -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 11:20:53 AM)
all of them ??? interesting thing for the 1st time p-38 were spotted at chungking - 2 destroyed today on ground

Raverdave -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 11:51:23 AM)
P-38s at Chungking eh? Well well well.

Sneer -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 11:57:07 AM)

veji1 -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:02:43 PM)
Sneer, how is the Chungking thing going ? Do you think you'll manage to take it and sweep China for good ?

Sneer -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:04:37 PM)
sooner or later yes certainly before russia will enter war

Raverdave -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:07:21 PM)
Actually I had 20+ P-38s there sometime ago trying to catch you unescorted bombers. The two that were left on the ground were damaged because of the poor state of the runways...........snapped their landing gear. [image]local://upfiles/5619/DAB29BFD67D149E4814659326D36AA37.jpg[/image]

veji1 -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:08:37 PM)
So if 1/3 China Army goes to Kwantung, 1/3 goes to India, 1/3 stays to garrison the place and 1/3 is bought out for use in the Pac right ? ;)

Raverdave -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:10:06 PM)
Bah ! China will never fall !

Sneer -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:13:42 PM)
i don't need to bought so many unit for PAC - if i can switch southern army from india it will be enough + there will be few new divisions in china soon - good to guard sad news I 154 sunk today - another convoy heads to darwin ( currently east of broome)

Raverdave -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:27:18 PM)
My ASW is getting better and better.................and with the new DEs now coming online there will be a lot more being sunk soon.[8D]

Sneer -> RE: Future Allied attack paths. (6/20/2006 12:34:53 PM)
tough luck truth is that my new PC type works really good 2 subs scored and I think 1 heavily damaged by 1 hunter killer group and allied subs are no more present on my internal LOC i have 3 at this moment and next 3 will go within 2 months - meanwhile Raverdave gets dezens of good ships but it works even stronger for allied player i have little problem with naval production at the moment but expect to have everything under control within next 3-4 months when I get my new carrier division ready good news Hiyo is almost finished in shipyard Akagi well within 30's so ap 3 next months and it will be in service again Kongo - funny thing - when i spotted enemy lost conwoy close to gilberts 2 weeks ago Kongo escort TF was 60 miles from these merchants but with 6knots and 80 sys there was no fun to risk her Musashi repairs are going smoothly - ship should be back in service this year

Sneer -> RE: convoy intercepted (6/20/2006 5:24:28 PM)
little use of old Jap CLs[8\|] low firepower low ROF weak torps and of old type only agano is closer to night rider type too weak for normal combat without AAA weapons only DD leaders and fast transport platform i would be happy to see few new pre conversion kumano type CLs
