Am trying to figure out what I want to do with Southern Army Command. It is sitting at Rangoon. Am toying with lifting it and moving it to Victoria Point where it would be close enough to lend it's weight to my Sumatra Campaign. Course--thinking like that--I could just bring it down to Alor Star or TJB. Ideas here my readers?



What's its command range? IIRC, isn't it something insane like "9"? If so, figure out a spot on the Malay mainland that it could provide regional support to your efforts against Sabang. Sabang is the brass ring and deserves all the prep you can muster for it.

Status: offline 		Why move Southern Command HQ from Burma?? In RA you have multiple Command HQs. Where are the other ones at and what are they prepped for??

Sumatra - After seeing you ID get beat up, what amount of artillery do you have there?? Many of the Japanese ID have have little in the way of organic artillery. You need to bring more here.

Tojo - Double check the leaders while their resting.

Air HQ - double check their leaders that are going to be used for the following Tojo sweeps of Sabang.

Ops Dept reporting!

Offhand, I can't think of a *bad* outcome for hitting Saratoga with 14cm shells. Please tell us that you did something better or more fruitful than just one 14cm hit?

ETA: @ 2000 yards? C'mon torpedoes!

Combat Report
December 23, 1942

North/Central Pacific
Calm

South Pacific
Noumea
The 6th ID begins unloading. The TF is covered by CL Jintsu and 6 DD. Detach Nagara and a DD to return to Truk for repairs.

CVE/CVL TF
CVE not spotted this turn. Everyone will link-up tomorrow and move south. Have started shuffling aircraft to get the right planes on the right ships.

Sumatra
45,77
2nd ID arrives to buttress the 10th ID.

Sibolga
Both new Japanese Inf Div are unloaded and moving out from this base heading to 45,77. We'll take this hex and then move into Medan. In effect this SHOULD serve to cutoff four unit on the coast above TJB. This is the initial plan at least...

Padang
KB shall refuel here next turn and then head to sea carrying a can of whoop ass! USS Searaven gets a shot at CVL Zuiho but misses as they exit Batavia. So much for total surprise. Bet he is confused as to what Japanese CVs are WHERE!

Nias
Looking good. The 4th Brigades goes from no AV to 50 in one day. Will wait another and then launch our first probe of the defenses after a BB/CA Bombardment

Malaya
Construction, Base Forces, and Engineers arriving at Georgetown and Alor Star. Their range is 7 for Mister Tojo to hit Sabang.

Burma
Pt Blair
Hit by 17 4EB. AF is repairing nicely. Convoy unloading presently...

Rangoon
Both large convoys are unloading. Have numerous Sentai needing new airframes. This supply delivery should enable that easily.

Tojo Status
There are 8 Sentai of Tojo in the Burma/Malaya/Sumatra area. This makes for 312 total planes...

Indian Ocean
SOOOOOOOOO Close
As seen in the screenshot we get a MASSIVE opportunity when two Training Cruisers and pair of DDs stumble upon the Lexington and Saratoga. Range opens 2,000, goes to 3,000, and ends at 5,000. NO TORP HITS! Crap!!! Several hits are, however, scored on the Cvs. There is some damage but not near enough to celebrate. Talk about what might have been a game changer...

On the bright side, we KNOW where his CVs are!

The problem I really had was that my Australian Invasion game had ended and I still had the slow moving game with Viperpol (who was kicking my BUTT) and Dan's.

These were, honestly, very difficult decisions. Reality is that I can barely handle one game right now.


OK, John. Because you mentioned our game here...
Considering all the pros and cons, with no your turn back for two months
and all you effort put into your game with Canoerebel
I think I'll save you from the trouble and set free...
I declare our game finished.

Thank you for gaming and being my opponent.
I'll summarize the outcome in the dedicated AAR thread you started.

BTW: Pity that while we exchanged so many e-mails and messages you still don't know who you have been playing against. It's viberpol, not viperpol...

Let's say I take this as a (un)conscious mistake to highlight my viperish aggressive style of play being able to kick John's butt instead of being a fellow of good vibes...

True. Every word.

Simple reality is that when we started playing I had games with Dan and Lew going. Adding a 3rd slow-moving game (as the Allies) held great appeal. Running three games wasn't too bad but then I became the owner/manager of the store. Life pretty much went to HE** at that point. When Lew threw in the towel in the Australia game, I thought that would do it but it did not free enough time up.

The break in playing completely helped some but I have had to make up my mind as to only one game. This is my choice. Pretty much as simple as that. A game moving at just 2-3 turns a week vs a high profile match with AARs running made the decision easier. Would love to keep playing the match (especially since you are kicking my buttocks! ) I feel bad about the process but real life intervenes. I've apologized before and I'll do it again. Call it a command decision.

Well, with all due respect John, while you try to explain the rationale your way
but you're here wide of the mark. The facts are:

Our game started in June 2012: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3126751&mpage=1&key=
Your game with Dan started in November 2012.
So it was Dan's game that you took as a third one.
I noticed that and warned you about the commitments here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3212062

Here, again, I understand that you couldn't resist the opportunity for a rematch with Dan.
Understood. The apology is accepted. No hard feelings because you dropped our game.
Just please do not change the facts, speaking about player responsibility and commitments.

December 24-25, 1942

The pieces are now taking their places for the Aerial Campaign to begin against Sabang. Georgetown and Alor Star are nearly fully repaired and once that occurs the 1st MASSED SWEEP shall occur.

A Burma Counterstroke is now in the works as well.

North/Central Pacific
Clear

South Pacific
Noumea
The 6th ID is 75% unloaded. Supplies have climbed over 10,000 and everything looks good. Figure two days before we launch the attack to begin the destruction of five Allied units.

KB-2
The CVLs and CVEs meet in the northern Coral Sea and head for Tulagi to fuel. At that point we come south and shall watch developments.

Norfolk Island
Grabbed this earlier when I thought Dan was making his attempt at New Guinea. Did not notice that the AF is Sz-1. Am moving a BF Coy there and shall base some assets their for air search.

Have brought down my first two Chutai of Recon Judy. Am basing one of each at Koumac and Noumea.

Sumatra
Sibolga
The new pair of Inf Div move into the hex NW of Sibolga. Man! The Engineers are really cranking on this base: AF-3 on the 25th.

Nias
Time to attack. The Japanese Inf is now fully ready and the base is hit by BB Fuso on the 24th. It will be hit by Fuso and 100 bombers on the 26th. I hope to take it on the first attack.

KB
The three CV TF depart Padang on the 24th and head away from Sumatra. They will then move up and challenge the Allied Fleet. Figure this development will occur at the same time as the aerial assault on Sabang. This will be timed to cause maximum consternation with Mister ROPER.

45,77
Dan bombards the 2nd and 10th ID here to probably see what has moved into the hex. He has a full strength Inf Reg and four beat-up (forced to retreat from Sibolga) Inf units. When my fresh ID arrive, these four ID shall CRUSH this opposition and then drive on Medan.

Malaya
Singapore
Begin loading the Inf Brig that helped take Alor Star onboard ship for the Sinabang Invasion. The 48th ID will load tomorrow for TJB. It will join the 14th ID on the coast below Medan to attack from that direction.

A powerful STF of BB Yamato and 4 BC and 8 DD depart Singers for TJB. Had planned to send them to link-up with the KB but changed my mind.

Georgetown and Alor Star
Both are clearing their AFs as described above. Each will have enough Base Force to handle nearly 200 planes a piece.

Burma
Supplies flow into all my bases this turn. Bases that were marginally supplied are now at 15-25,000 pending on how important they are. Rangoon sits at 80,000+. Overnight I pick-up 125 new airframes and trade out bombers and fighters for several units. Hosannah!

Prome
The 2nd TK Div picks up 18 AV in one turn! The other Inf Div present gains 11. Am waiting for the 12th ID to arrive and then we move across the Irrawaddy and then enter the southern portion of the Allied Box.

55,48
East of Ramree sees the 21st ID gain an Infantry unit that bumps the AV up 128 points. Should help. Have two Artillery units moving there as well.

Surface Action
My little STF are doing pretty well. On the 24th, a STF of 4 DDs run into a nice convoy and sink AP Duchess of Bedford, 2 AK, and KV.

A 6 DD TF departs Port Blair on the 24th and begins hunting on the 25th.

China
Begin attacks on the last Chinese position holding the RR Line from Changsha to Kweilin and such. Score a 1-2 on the 25th versus one full strength Corps and two beat-up Inf units. IF the two Japanese ID can take this hex this shall be a game-changer in China. Rapid movement along this line would be FANTASTIC.

SS Operations
12-24
Ro-68 SINKS AK Oregonian near Sabang with 2 TT

I-155 SINKS CL Ceres with a pair of Torps near Koggala

12-25
I-30 SINKS AK Barala near Cochin

I-174 SCORES a PAIR of TTs hits on BB Califonia just 3 hexes NW of Sabang. VERY Nice!

Odd and Ends
1. CV Junyo is now halfway across the northern portion of New Guinea. So far--so good.
2. Begin shifting aircraft on the CVLs and CVEs to maximize their firepower.

You are correct in your commentary in taking on the match with my old nemesis. The two of us challenged each other for for nearly four years but the opportunity to come to grips never happened due to schedules and other matches. When Dan asked, I jumped at the opportunity. Forgot that we started after our match began.

I'm glad you are OK. As stated I feel very bad about the situation and would gladly keep us going if it wasn't for my changed commitments with the store and time with the family. If that changes at all I would love to continue the game. Playing the Allied Side was an eye-opening experience and I learned BUNCHES from it. Would love to keep doing that...

Islands of Destiny
SS Sinkings/Damaged

December 25, 1942

The Japanese Sub Arm continues to have excellent success in preying on Allied shipping to this point of the war. As long as the Subs keep getting moved along to differing areas they do pretty well. Have one Ro- and thirteen I-Boat Submarine ACES right now! Three I-Boats lead the pack with eight successful attacks each (I-6, I-8, I-164). The best hunting grounds are pretty obvious from the list below.

Only 10 Japanese SS (8 I-Boat and 2 Ro-) have been sunk at that point. Have been lucky to get a number of boats home that were severely damaged but lived to fight another day.

Status: offline 		I have an SS section in the daily notes I take. I list the attack, SS, location, and type of hit/hits. Every six months I go through the confirmed ship sinking list to see if the ship is still there or has moved off it. You'll note several attacks upon the same ship. One is listed as damaged (D) and other has the sinking. What do you think?

This war has seen excellent success by the Sub Arm to this point.

It is. This is a side of the game few people keep tabs on. I really like watching to see how well the IJN SS do.

Status: offline 		RA features a lot of changes to aircraft building. Some types do not exist in this game (Jack) while others are added (the creation of a separate Zero Land-Based variant line and CV-Based variant line). All Japanese players know (or should know) how to work the research so you may bring planes in earlier if wanted. Such is the case right now in Dan and I's game. Here are the newest Fighters coming on-line along with what my production will be:

12-42 Tony: Just advanced a month and has started production at 60 planes a month.

01-43 A6M4: Land-Based Interceptor with slightly better speed then M3b and better guns (2 20mm + 2 12.7mm). Plan for about 100 a month. May bump that to about 150 if needed. Have got GOBS of M5 right now so I might shift one factory over to this model.

02-43 George: This model has advanced two months currently and amy come forward into January. I really hope so. LIKE this aircraft. Production is set for 112 planes a month.

Engines are all in good shape:
1. Need to expand my Ha-45 (George) research some so we have plenty for it.
2. Running a little short of Naka Ha-34 so will bump that another 60 or so.

Just got Nick KAIb producing and shall shift the KAIa over to this model so we have about 50 a month being produced.


Here is a current screenshot of Sumatra with my planned troops movements. Note that Dan's SS are slightly reduced. I have dedicated nearly 100 planes to ASW and have 4 ASW TF moving through the area. Am managing to damage 2-3 SS per day between the planes and TF.

Status: offline 		Is the Nick line different in this scenario? If not, I would stick with the KAIa version. Much better than the next two. I'm just transitioning away from it now in late 44 and it's been serviceable the entire war as a bomber killer and still doesn't do badly against fighters due to it's durability. Had one kill a Corsair recently.

Status: offline 		Obvert is 100% correct , assuming the rest of the line hasn't been adjusted in this scenario.. I'd ditch later models. Check the graphic with the cannons/mg added. Kala is the best plane in the Ki-45 line and the only one worth having. Note the cannons in the later models being woefully inaccurate.
