quote: ORIGINAL: Capt. Harlock quote: So , there really is no chance to counterattack this early. I also wait for the middle of 1943, when i get an advantage in carriers. IMHO the American carriers can attack profitably if the following conditions are met: 1) Fewer than four fleet CV's in the Japanese TF (Don't mess with the KB Death Star!) 2) All American CV's have more than 30 fighters each. 3) Devastators have been upgraded to Avengers. (Not for attack, but the longer range is helpful for search.) 4) Escort ships with 40 mm AAA are present. You are describing the conditions in August 1942 at the earliest...poor Raver is in March 1942... that's not a good time for the Allies to have ships on the high seas... [:(] [;)] Dave Baranyi

quote: ORIGINAL: Raverdave quote: ORIGINAL: Sneer Great hunting gets even more intense dispersing ships is great tactics against aerial attacks but not against CA hunting in the dark :-) - it is far easier sink few ships in the row than few from convoy I counted 35 sunk ships since beginning of operation. I'll do my best to increase this amount. I hope I'll sink some more AP/TK as their loss shoul hurt Raver in short term may be problematic as Kates numbers goes systematiclydown as well as sorties - I will not manage to go to base , refit and come back so efficiency of aerial attack will go lower The loss of my AKs on their flight to the relative safety of the West Australian coast line is disturbing but far better than having ALL of them sunk at anchor at Karachi as would no doubt happen in the near future. I wish that I had something to use against Sneer, but there is no way that the US CVs could get to that side of the map in time, and the RN CVs have been moved to a northern port to effect repairs[:(] I could send the RN BBs to the rescue but I am not that foolish to send my Queens of the sea anywhere without air support, and so I shall continue to endure. My "turn" against PzB taught me that sending ships down the Indian Ocean was a bad thing. Unfortunately, you are learning the same. However, I also learned in that game that it is absolutely, direly necessary to have a surface force available to defend the bases that are critical. I lost Karachi because I didn't have enough surface ships, not because of the KB. I was able to keep a strong CAP in place until PzB sank my surface forces and could bombard at will. With the RN BBs in Northern Australia you have nothing to keep Sneer from closing your coastal bases in India. Also, you will find it equally hard to protect the Brit BBs in Northern Oz - maybe harder than in India. In Sneer's position I'd have the main KB heading to the Northern Oz ports at this very moment...[sm=00000622.gif] Good luck! Dave Baranyi

Sneer -> Great hunting west of Batavia finished (12/28/2005 5:11:53 PM)
ok operation officially finished 93 confirmed sunk ships - 8 TK included together with 30+ sunk by now may make supplying distant operations a bit difficult looks like my APD were quite successfull in

(Never hurts to keep an enemy off balance.) Correct, i will always be looking for a chance to snipe at Sneer, but first I must have halfway decent intel as to where his CVs are before I can even think about trying anything. What looks like a good opportunity to me should also be apparent to sneer hence the need for great care.

Dave Baranyi Hmmm............well if he really wants to send KB against Kararchi then I wouild welcome that, I still have a halfway decent airfarce and feel that any move from seaward would give me more opportunitys then it is worth for Sneer. Why would one risk KB that far north when the land combat is going so well? Pity i didn't know about the risk in sending the AKs south, though I guess that it could have been guessed at if I was in Sneer's place. Still better that they go down at sea, rather than bottled up in port like rats.[;)]

There was not immiediate risk for fleet at Karachi right now second we agreed to adjust India campaign third it is a best task for us cv early war to cover such operation few more ships are reported sunk from earlier damages As you could see I get quite heavy a/c losses but it is price paid for attempt of closing china industry AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/20/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Sian , at 47,29 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 12 Ki-21 Sally x 23 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21 Sally: 3 damaged Resources hits 8 Aircraft Attacking: 20 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Kunming , at 39,33 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 27 Ki-21 Sally x 35 Allied aircraft I-153c x 5 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses I-153c: 2 destroyed Resources hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 11 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 9 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 6 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 9 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Wuchow , at 42,39 Japanese aircraft Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 3 Ki-30 Ann x 9 Ki-51 Sonia x 50 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-51 Sonia: 3 damaged Resources hits 29 Aircraft Attacking: 24 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 9 x Ki-30 Ann bombing at 2000 feet 10 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 9 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 7 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 27 Ki-21 Sally x 52 Ki-15 Babs x 5 No Japanese losses Resources hits 20 Aircraft Attacking: 11 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 8 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 5 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 9 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 10 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chengtu , at 41,29 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 25 Ki-49 Helen x 7 Allied aircraft I-16c x 13 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses I-16c: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged Resources hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 4 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-49 Helen bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 23rd Indian Division, at 30,18 Japanese aircraft Ki-30 Ann x 17 Ki-51 Sonia x 20 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-30 Ann: 2 destroyed, 5 damaged Ki-51 Sonia: 7 damaged Allied ground losses: 46 casualties reported Guns lost 2 Aircraft Attacking: 20 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 15 x Ki-30 Ann bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 255th Indian Tank Brigade, at 28,18 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 36 Ki-21 Sally x 56 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21 Sally: 9 damaged Allied ground losses: 81 casualties reported Guns lost 4 Vehicles lost 2 Aircraft Attacking: 8 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 6 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 15 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 11 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 7 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 9 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 18,78 Allied aircraft Hudson I x 2 No Allied losses Japanese Ships CS Chiyoda Aircraft Attacking: 2 x Hudson I bombing at 15000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 12 troops unloading over beach at Manokwari, 44,75 Japanese ground losses: 49 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Samarinda Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 14670 troops, 40 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 5833 troops, 67 guns, 8 vehicles Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 0 Japanese assault odds: 7 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Samarinda base !!!

To my surprise it was RN TF - it seems previous damages were small and they attacked me once more. cap was set to 100% as sorties were low and carriers were refuelling that turn. all attacking swordfishes were shot down and my small amount of kates that survived 2 weeks of flying attacked fircely enemy Both Hermes and Indomitable were hit once however as expected I lost most of my kates (strike was unescorted). again marginal victory for Japan. 2 BB CA and CLAA noticed in TF AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/22/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 124 troops unloading over beach at Sansapor, 44,74 Japanese ground losses: 36 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Wuchow , at 42,39 Japanese aircraft Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 4 Ki-30 Ann x 8 Ki-51 Sonia x 53 Ki-46-II Dinah x 3 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-30 Ann: 3 damaged Ki-51 Sonia: 5 damaged Resources hits 15 Aircraft Attacking: 22 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 8 x Ki-30 Ann bombing at 2000 feet 11 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 9 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 9 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 2 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Chungking , at 43,32 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 27 Ki-21 Sally x 48 Ki-15 Babs x 5 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21 Sally: 1 damaged Resources hits 15 Aircraft Attacking: 10 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 5 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 10 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 6 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 3 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 5 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on 56th Construction Battalion, at 30,18 Allied aircraft Blenheim IV x 10 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 41 casualties reported Aircraft Attacking: 7 x Blenheim IV bombing at 6000 feet 3 x Blenheim IV bombing at 6000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 12,77 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 40 Allied aircraft Fulmar x 4 Swordfish x 13 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses Fulmar: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged Swordfish: 10 destroyed Japanese Ships CVE Hosho CVL Zuiho Aircraft Attacking: 2 x Swordfish launching torpedoes at 200 feet 1 x Swordfish launching torpedoes at 200 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 10,77 Japanese aircraft B5N Kate x 19 Allied aircraft Sea Gladiator x 6 Fulmar x 5 Japanese aircraft losses B5N Kate: 9 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied Ships CVL Hermes, Torpedo hits 1, on fire CV Indomitable, Torpedo hits 1, on fire Aircraft Attacking: 4 x B5N Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet 2 x B5N Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet 1 x B5N Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet 3 x B5N Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Akyab Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 16081 troops, 115 guns, 20 vehicles Defending force 2391 troops, 13 guns, 2 vehicles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Sorong Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 467 troops, 1 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 3 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Sorong base !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Teloekbetoeng Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 456 troops, 14 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 5125 troops, 30 guns, 0 vehicles

Raverdave -> RE: 2nd carrier battle! (12/29/2005 2:20:30 PM)
I had hoped to catch his mini KB TF with it's ammo almost empty, but that was not to be, at the very least I gave Sneer a few more gray hairs ! I was surprised to find his CAP set at 100%.....something that I never do on my carriers..........you never know what is sailing just around the corner, but in this case it paid off for Sneer. Now most of my Swordfish are shot down, but on the other had I have made a serious dent in his Kate force. The question is will he now try and follow through?

Sneer -> RE: 2nd carrier battle! (12/29/2005 2:33:26 PM)
with 7 kates or with 3 DD?[:D] you choose I'm surprised RN BB force did not try to attack me at night - after combat and refuelling my movement radius was 1 hex and Surface TF could defend well against few kates

Sneer -> RE: 2nd carrier battle! (12/29/2005 2:42:02 PM)
cap was set to 100% as I feared enemy carriers and had no idea how 19 kates would hurt 4 US CV 3 days ago half of zeros was on naval attack as I pointed burning ship is better spotted by my surface tf at night :-) can't say this game is boring

Capt. Harlock -> RE: 2nd carrier battle! (12/29/2005 8:36:53 PM)
quote: can't say this game is boring I second that statement! We now have the interesting situation that the Allies have a force to be feared at night, just the opposite of what usually happens in early '42. (And British torpedoes work much better than American ones. . .)

Sneer -> RE: 2nd carrier battle! (12/29/2005 10:34:22 PM)
transports not warships were attacked by zeros As far as warships are concerned or what was left from RN we will see if Raver use them offensively. till now no naval counterattack has been successful I don't treat RN as a threat. it is too small at this moment - almost all allied losses are Dutch + commonwealth US Pacific fleet has enough power to mess a bit. RN stays up to 2 slow BB + 2-3 cruisers and less than 5 DD. nothing to be worried about esecially Dutch fleet doesn't exist and UK carriers are now out of action again so there is no mobile air cover. Contrary lot of BBs cruisers and CV cover is ready for action in central Pacific. 10 BBs can tear apart any single atoll but untill KB is in good shape it will be too risky for Raver

Raverdave -> RE: 2nd carrier battle! (12/30/2005 5:58:18 AM)
I must say that I have always found that the RN CVs punch well above their weight.........yes they are light on aircraft (and good ones at that) but come late'42 with some Wildcats inplace of Fulmars the RN CVs can be a rather interesting little force. I once again state that they are usless in the Bay of Bengal (lack of suitable targets) and given some sea room they can be a force in their own right. I'll put these two little buggers in port to fix up the holes that Sneer has so rudely put into them and dare say that they shall be back at sea in 3 to 4 months time.

Sneer -> RE: CV vs. CV in 1942 (12/30/2005 4:38:36 PM)
Quiet turn today end of March is close I'll provide map and statistics during weekend I found convoy at Amchitka and asw group consistiong of old US DD kiska has airfield in use northern area become active as Raver is building up Maybe Raver's intelligence found info about preparing for Russia ??? it is old story now as I was thinking about this in early Feb with troops from Manila- they went to East India so plan "Red" was aborted attacking russia now would be a grave mistake - instead I'm slowly buying out troops and reinforcing china army - if I attack russia now I would throw away all I made on chinase front till now and enemy would airlift supply + attack my industry - japan has not enough a/c now to firght formidable soviet air force- it is crazy that in this time russian reinforcement are so high - one would expect that the more is Japan involved in pacific and india the more troops would be grabbed to use against Hitler However Raver can still be in fear as half of southern army is hidden from him and I want to carry out a small operation soon I hate to say so but expansion time is going to the end I can take new caledonia and most of south pacific now but KB is only one to keep them safe and supplied few words about China - India reports and fleet operations moved it to second place Burma road is closed northern supply sources are cut off results of my bombing campaign damaged/working oil centers Sian 18/7 Chungking 63/12 resource centers Wuchow 231/69 Sian 55/5 Chungking 254/46 Kunming 156/144 Chengtu 26/274 totals working oil 19 resource 538 HI will stop as soon as oil reserves will end - still sth like 300-400 in Chinase hands I think China is in negative supply now and when oil reserves finish it will be extremaly difficult With east india taken there is no way to airlift supply to china so they are on their own. still numbers are important and it will take long time but China is mine - it is a matter of time I'm ready for any counterattack Raver can make - forts are high - units at 100% strenght and prepped so nothing Raver really can do in a few days I'll get 3 INF DIV in China and with 30k manpower and similar armament I'll get them mostly completed and this will offer me strong reserve formation. I bought out also few artillery units from Kwantung Army to make my firepower advantage even higher / together with eng units to raise forts in most important bases. If Raver moves offensively in China ( i guess he is prepped defensively) it will make things even faster. My idea is to take area that will be immune to strategic bombing and finish unfortunate "chinase incident" if there will be counterattack I will get lot of experiance and all china army will soon be "crack" if not casualties will be extremaly low AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/27/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Kunming , at 39,33 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 27 Ki-21 Sally x 40 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21 Sally: 2 damaged Resources hits 18 Aircraft Attacking: 18 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 11 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 5 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet 6 x Ki-21 Sally bombing at 8000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naval bombardment of Kuching, at 28,56 Japanese Ships DD Wakaba DD Hamakaze CA Ashigara Allied ground losses: 129 casualties reported Guns lost 2 Runway hits 4 Port hits 1 Port fuel hits 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Imphal Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 9027 troops, 89 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 3779 troops, 28 guns, 0 vehicles Allied ground losses: 13 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Menado Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 4699 troops, 17 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 66 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese forces CAPTURE Menado base !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Akyab Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 16465 troops, 117 guns, 20 vehicles Defending force 2438 troops, 13 guns, 1 vehicles Allied ground losses: 5 casualties reported Guns lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Teloekbetoeng Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 412 troops, 10 guns, 0 vehicles Defending force 5118 troops, 29 guns, 0 vehicles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kuching Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 6803 troops, 77 guns, 3 vehicles Defending force 2971 troops, 9 guns, 4 vehicles Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 0 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Japanese ground losses: 145 casualties reported Guns lost 3 Vehicles lost 1 Allied ground losses: 51 casualties reported
