Since I have a head start I should be far enough ahead to outrun his CVs. I am hoping that 4E bombers that transfer in will be too fatigued to attack and that the bases will not be able to support large scale strikes. He will have to cover a lot of area as I can go through the Menado Gap or past Ambonia in the South.

The plan had several goals:

At the minimum was the preservation of some of the CVs. By getting them to the IO I hoped to disrupt the Allied offensive there. The best case scenario was that the CVs made it there unspotted and then ambushed the Allied CVs.

While I am nervous now it is not nearly as nervous as I was last turn. A Coronado actually spotted my Cvs off of Ulithi but reported them as a single ship going at 30 knots. Either Kenny missed this or dismissed it as a sub.

I can not yet comment as to whether or not any ships made it through before the operatiuon was discovered. Kenny will just have to guess

I can now also reveal that the suicical AP run to Osaka was a diversion to draw attention away from the KB's run. I had hoped to make it look like the KB was trying to lure out more 4E bombers rather than escape. I also hoped that it would appear that surface Tfs were going to try a "Long Lance Drive By" against the landing fleet at Naha. This looks like it served it's purpose and kept the Allied CVs on station long enough for the KB to get away. Who knows? I might try this for real if the CVs chase the KB. What is the bluff and what is the real plan?

looks like Japan's version of the Channel Dash.....

not sure what has or hasn't gotten through the Celebes Sea, but the sighting off Palau last turn only showed....CV,CA,CA,CA. So based on that "small" sighting, and the one ship sighting last turn that i missed. i can infer that Tom has split up his capital ships into several TF's probably based on speed. Since its been 4 days since i've they left Ominato harbor....thats about 50 hex head start for ships at 32kts or faster. So theres a real possibility that the Hiryu, Zuikaku, Shokaku, Tahio, and Unyru's have made it through the straits. That just leaves the slower BB's and Akagi as worthwhile targets.

My response to this bold move, isn't the greatest. 1st all my 4E bombers flew last turn against Toms sacrificial AP's...so their fatigue was in the teens. After moving them to Leyte and Mortai...their fatigue now in the 40's. The only saving grace is that i have Air HQ's, Aviation Rgt's and 100,000+ supply points at those base's. 600 of them have been moved to intercept the fleeing japanese ships, so even if only half of them fly (with P51 escort)...that should devastate any japanese TF.

The only "ace in the hole" are my Australian Liberators IV's. They didn't fly any missions last turn, so after moving them to Zambronga their fatigue is only in the 10's. I have about 200 of these bombers w/ exp in the upper 80's and lower 90's. With P38 escort they should be a devastating airstrike, however their range is only 10. Thats if Tom decides to enter the Celebes Sea. If he goes south past Ambiona, then he'll avoid the Australian Liberator IV's and most of my bombers.

My last option is to bring my CV's from Okinawa/Formosa down through the South China Sea and see if i can intercept the fleeing Japanese capital ships. Risky operation IMHO...but worth a look.

Finally if Tom succedds in moving is fleet to the DEI, it really isn't that big of a deal. I have enough Land Base Bombers, CV's, and BB's in India to deal with any IJN move towards the Indian Ocean. And more importantly i can start my operation to save Russia sooner, with the IJN down in the DEI

Very good analysis of my intentions.

I am looking forward to Sunday/Monday's turn to see how it turns out.

My ships slipped away faster than a Mets lead

Like in the movie of the same title, not everyone got away. 3CLs, a CA, CS, and 5DDs were sunk and I fear more will be lost before they can return to safety. The Yamato and the Mushashi were pounded with 500lb bomb hits but most bounced off.

Elsewhere, Kadia was invaded and Naha's defenses are starting to crumble.

Also, The CVscovering the Okinawa landings seem to have left. I hope they are headed towards Fortress Singapore.

Like in the movie of the same title, not everyone got away. 3CLs, a CA, CS, and 5DDs were sunk and I fear more will be lost before they can return to safety. The Yamato and the Mushashi were pounded with 500lb bomb hits but most bounced off.


Too bad the 4E bombers that plastered the Cruisers with 2000lber's didn't attack the Yamato and Musashi. Instead small little 500lbers were used against those mighty battlewagens. The only possible saving grace is that perhaps the fire's will cause some decent system damage which won't be easily repaired in the DEI. The only decent repair yard is Singapore, with a 100 point shipyard......which means B29's have been notified.

With the IJN now in the DEI a new threat is directed at my flanks. Therefore i've had to assess Tom's possible forces in the area. My current estimate is as follows....

At most....
8 CV
5 CVL
5 CVE
12 BB
1 CA
5 CL
30 DD

With such a force i can expect several things from Tom.
1) move his way into the Indian Ocean and take on the Royal Navy
2) raid the Australian Cities and Heavy Industry
3) raid my supply lines

i will therefore have to attend to these matters, while my offensive continues to roll on near the Japanese Home Islands.

PS: turn sent Tom

I was wondering why there were 8 B-29 Ops losses last turn. Now it all makes sense.

Pretty accurate estimate of my OOB and intentions. Keep in mind that since my naval yards are the only thing I have left to spend HI points on, I can accellerate ship production.

They were too far in to turn back and not far enough to make it through. With this in mind the brave captains made a dash for Davao and bombarded the base. This deathride drew the attention of every Allied AC within 500 miles but in doing so it allowed the rest of the fleet to escape.

Nasty little surface engagement at Entoforo sank a bunch of PT boats.

Naha held on for one more turn. I doubt it will survive another.

I tried sending my PCs back for another round at Entofo but the PTs had left. As a result most of my PCs were sunk by Allied CVs.

Naha also fell today. Things are looking bad for the empire.

Operational Review

India
Unfortunately early in the campaign several important units got lost in the woods, preventing quick victories at important locations. So instead of grabbing one of the major cities early on, i've got the japanese holed up in the major cities, while i own the countryside. Haven't figured out how to deal with this yet, but i'm leaning towards just letting the japanese retain Madras, Delhi, Bombay, and Calcutta, thereby isolating them as "landlocked islands".

DEI
Here's where the major units of the IJN have moved to. Unfortunately i neglected to establish a base in the DEI...so other than subs, i have no idea whats going on in those waters. That will soon change as i will be sending in some ground forces in a limited campaign to capture key bases from which to eliminate Fortress Singapore and the refueling bases at Batavia and Palembang, thereby denying the use of the DEI to the IJN.

The KB
The Japanese CV's have been lost to Allied intel at the moment. Best estimate puts the Japanese CV's in the Indian Ocean. I figure there intentions is to raid the Australian Cities on the western coast. I've therefore dispatch 2 major, 1 minor CV battle groups to the area to hunt for the illusive prey

Japan
Japan continues to burn under the relentless bombardment of B29's. Will update soon the percentage of lost industry so far. In the meantime, allied forces are wrapping up the Okinawa campaign. Once done they will move onto their next object (somewhere north)

After 320 days in the woods, the defenders of Lunga were finally wioped out. A relief force landed at Tasaffonga the same day. A day late and a yen short

Elsewhere, bad intell led me to believe that Pagan was an atoll defended by only 3,000 troops, mostly support troops. A fast transport raid showed that this was wrong and cost me several DDs and CLs.

Breakout from the Home Islands resulted in the loss of 4 BBs. Better to die at sea than in port.

More ships sunk as they make a run for it. At least I am saving points by scuttling.

I am very disappointed with the AA fire from my cargo TFs. I had hoped that with AA ratings between 2-3K they would shoot down some Allied carrier AC.

Kenny has said that he is not going to be distracted from his offensive by my rear area raids. To up the anti I took Rabaul and Biak back today. To quote Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction: "I will not be ignored"

Elsewhere, Allied forces have moved into Bombay and have started bombarding the defenders. Hopefully they can hold out for a few months.

Takamatsu fell without much of a fight. Fortunetly there is no way off the island so I don't have to worry about a land battle yet.

The AP/AK turkey shoot continued today.

Note to prospective Japanese players: Halt construction on all AP/AKs after 1942. You don't need them and they will only score points ofr the Allies.

Kenny forgot to note that I hold (for now) Rabaul, Wewak, and Tassaforanga.

Blizzard in the North limited the bombing of Iman. Elsewhere my boat-people barges continue to take rear area bases and Tokyo got hit

Nice map, Kenny.

quote:

ORIGINAL: RUPD3658

I am very disappointed with the AA fire from my cargo TFs. I had hoped that with AA ratings between 2-3K they would shoot down some Allied carrier AC.

My theory is that the low crew experience of the AKs/APs make their flak almost useless.
