Final score on 1-1-43 is 43885:10278 (4.26:1) in favor of Japan. We had agreed to ignore the auto victory and play on when we started so this is meaningless but it shows just how hard it is to get a 4:1 as Japan against a good human opponant. I am sure this ratio would have been much closer (Or even less then the 4:1 needed) if Kenny felt the clock running out.

The bloodshed continued today at NG. My inexperienced fighters ran into a buzz saw at Thursday Is. Final losses for the day were 150 Japanese planes vs only about 50 Allied.

Ships contine to unload supplies at PM but they are not hitting mines or getting shot at by the CD guns. Weird.

Confirmed sunk today were 6 AP, 3 AK, 1 DD, and 1 DMS.

If PM can he held the losses don't matter. It is all downhill if I lose it.

Good turn overall. Shot down more than I lost and sunk a ton of ships thanks to a DD raid at PM. Subs have been spotted everywhere from the HI to Wewak. I even lost my first resource carrying AK.

Confirmed sunk this turn:

5 AP, 11 AK, 1 SC, 1 SS (4 more damaged by AC)

sounds like the fighting spirit of the historic japanese during the Guadacanal campaign from Aug 42 --> February 43. Hopefully this battle won't last this long.

Kenny,
You might want to break down your TF's off of PM to smaller sizes, to increase your survivability of them. I imagine that some are trying to get back over to the safety of Cookeville and make it back to port.
I hope you have some AR's in Cairns and Townsville to help save some AK/AP's.

I had hoped to level Thursday Island while the majority of fighters were flying LR CAP over PM. I guess I picked the day they decided to cover their home base instead.

Total air losses were 308 Japanese vs 146 Allied. Hopefully I have more planes in reserve (albeit with crappy pilots) then he has.

Allied ship losses were 5 AK and 2 AP sunk

That's insane. If anything, you have to be glad that your bombers got away (relatively) unscathed. Results like this scream for NikMod in my next PBEM.

Can someone post a sceenshot of the strategy map?

totally agree. I don't even have Corsairs, Hellcats, Thunderbolts in the air yet, and its still massacre type results. Next PBEM will definitely be some type of mod for me, even though i will miss having 600 4E bombers flying around the map in late 1942

Here's the strategic situation at this point. As you can see i'm inept at Land combat and managed to loss pratically all of India and China. But at least i was able to hold him at bay in the pacific.

Airdrop on Tenimbar bagged some patrol AC. My air commnader at Gasmata got hopped up on Saki and tried another raid on Thursday Is. He has been shot. At this point brave and stupid is not going to cut it.

Surface raid on Thursday got spotted and sunk before it got there.

Once the allies have high experience units on patrol, the Japanese are dead.

In the game I took over with mc3744, my ships and subs are being creamed by his patrol aircraft (both dedicated and bombers on naval search).

He doesn't really need to worry about attacking my merchants with naval attacks, they all get hit regularly anyway.

Even my only way of moving troops around the frontline - barges- are practically useless. One bomb from his uber-spotters and glug,glug,glug they go.

It's another wacky function of large bomb loadouts - with high XP Japanese aircraft on patrol, you get occasional hits on allied ships/subs - but with high XP Allied patrols it is multiple hits every turn.

thats good to know, since i've lost a crap load of ASW platforms in this game. Should become even more deadier in the future, as i'm almost done upgrading all my PBY's to PBM's..which carry a higher bomb load

We are back to an even 4:1. I forsee the score being even and bombs falling on the HI by the end of 1943. Now it is my turn to get beat up.

My only option to hold on longer may be an invasion of Russia.

Next time I will play the Allies.

damn. Bad part about playing 2 day turns is, if you take the base on the 1st day...it leaves it open to air attack on the second day, since you can't reinforce it. Now i gotta figure out how to make that Level 6 AF operation for my 4E bombers so i can blast the surrounding AF's

Your level bombers had already made PM unusable. My bombers just made new craters in the old craters.

I would put some of those Coronados/Catalinas on night naval attack (those that have an experience level above 70) and drop the altitude down to 5,000. It will give him pause about sending a bombardment TF around to PM.

He is going to try to keep bombing PM to keep it closed as long as possible. One you get your CAP set up over the base and base some of your heavies there, then Rabual's life expectancy just got shortened.

Even though I have been an Allied player to date, I feel the Japanese have to make a strong push into the East and South Pacific to keep the Allied, especially the USA, at bay for some time. The conquest of India was great, but it seems to me, the USA was able to build up too much and they are the force that wins or loses the war.

If I had it to do over again I would go after Noeuma and invade Australia. I could fight a land war in India longer than I can stop an island hopping campaign against 600+ 4E bombers.

Time for the diplomats to make nice nice.

That would be an interesting strategy. We've seen the India/China strategy by yourself and PzB....We've seen the Pearl Harbor/SOPAC strategy by Admiral Laurent. The only one i haven't seen yet is the southern, or Australian strategy. There seems to be a consensus that its almost impossible...but i think it can be done

Feel free to try it in our rematch. After a year or so of holding back the Allied juggernaught I should be an expert on defense and ready to hold off the Japanese.

I agree that an early seizure of these areas would work. With the USA-OZ life line cut OZ should be easy pickings. An invasion of India in late 42 might even still be possible.

The big mistake I made was getting spooked by the B-17s in April/May and not continuing a southern push.

I think a East Pacific strategy that may or may not include the occupation of Hawaii, followed with a push south to take NZ and maybe northern Oz is a good one to try.
I believe in the old saying of "divide and conquer." Isolate USA from Oz from India. Then you have three separate areas that you can focus on. If you want to go after Australia, then the Allies cannot get reinforcements to it. Admiral Laurent has come the closest to date (I hope he eventually does).
If you try this strategy, I think it will be easier using stock vs AB's map.

NZ is definitely the key to the survival of Oz. If NZ is taken, then japan can effectively cut off all supplies and reinforcements to Australia. Australia then would have to rely on India to supply its needs, which can easily be interdicted by a couple japanese CV's based out of Java.

For this reason, in the beginning, i always try to ensure the safety of NZ first. I'll usually ship a couple Artillery units with a Bde or two, just to firm up its defenses there, before i reinforce Noumea.

Without supplies being shipped in, Australia can't support the type of 4E bombing campaigns so loved by the allies.

I am desperatly trying to keep PM shut down. My bombers are not as good as the 4E Allied ones but they are getting the job done. My ASW guys even bagged an old S-boat and damaged another sub. Not too hard to do since you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. Damn things are everywhere.

Don't worry. You'll get him back within 60 days. He'll just pop back into F1/Ominato after he heals, even if the daitai is full up with pilots.
