Six degrees in DC this morning. The problem is that my friggen golden retrievers don't really seem to mind..

The wonders of fur...

When I was in Iowa over the weekend, it was 0. Came back to MD and the weather followed me. Stupid jet stream. At least it will be around 30 this weekend while the skies are dumping nastiness on us

I'm never understood what 0 degrees Fahrenheit was supposed to signify......I mean, 0 degrees centigrade is where water freezes (or melts, as the case may be), but what the hell does 0 degrees Fahrenheit mean?

Similar origins to Celsius, but less scientific rigor in the origins. From Wiki, which I have no reason to question:

"On Fahrenheit's original scale the lower defining point was the lowest temperature to which he could reproducibly cool brine (defining 0 degrees), while the highest was that of the average human core body temperature (defining 100 degrees)."

What has always bothered me about Celsius/Centigrade is how compressed the temperature range is.

C/C compresses the range of freezing to boiling for water into only 100 increments.

F covers the same range in 180 increments (32 to 212).

Therefore the F scale is more nuanced and accurate.

I have the same problem with the entire metric system.....lets force everything to fit increments of ten no matter how much detail we may lose in the process.

Sorry for the thread hijack....I'll go away now.

No. The readings are what matter. Decimal points (or fractions) can cover whatever little tiny variations can actually be measured no matter the units. How fine a measurement is, that's a different matter.

Should have been more clear.

The F scale is more nuanced and accurate "without having to resort to decimals or fractions".

Obviously I lied when I stated that I would go away.......

Glad you stayed!

So Fahrenheit is for the fraction phobic among us.

In northern Canada we also use gonadius as a measurement of cold: So, 0 degrees gonadius = that temperature when one's gonads freeze solid in < 1 minute!

One of the most interesting things about NYC is that it is not unheard of for it to be 100F in the Summer and 0F in the winter. didn't quite get there this year but it did go down to 2 degrees last week and we got to 98 degrees last summer. Thats range! All told I prefer the cold. 90 degree temperatures and high humidity is tough stuff in the City

I agree with this. In the relevant range for weather and human comfort the F. scale is easier to be precise without getting into decimals, which most people don't run into in RL outside of money once they leave school.

Making it harder to move between is the nature of the functions, so at very, very cold temps the two scales tend to converge. In a place like MN, where below zero F. is very common, that's confusing.

It's -2 outside right now BTW. A heat wave since midnight!

Been with family in the NW. Mom's husband (and my step dad for 24 years) passed over the holidays, so helping her get sorted and giving what support I can. She's okay though.

It was 60F (16C) in Portland, and sunny!!

Got some good time in Seattle with friends and went to Pike St Market for salmon. Yum.

Love that you guys just had a temp discussion in the AAR while I was away!

I'm constantly converting from F to C since I am american, live in the UK, work at an International school with Americans, and am married to an Australian. I find either scale of degrees pretty easy now. Kelvin is the tough one! (photography)

Never tried Gonadius though.

June 7 - 12, 1943

About two weeks behind here. Some interesting developments, so I'll try to catch up fast.

SUBS: Trigger nails Mizuho with two fish on the 9th near Truk. Not sure if she went down though.

INDIA: The Marines and armor caught up to the Japanese at Imphal and DA on the 12th. They get a 1:4 but the Japanese losses are almost as much as the Allied. Hopefully we can wear them down and run them out of supply, then get a retreat eventually. Even if not, getting to the jungle with no supply and lots of disablements in the monsoon season won't be good for them.

CENT PAC: Swept Roi Namur with Hellcats getting decent results, then had an escorted PB4Y-1 strike hit the base. I'll try to slowly weaken this base, as it's his only viable striking airbase in the Marshalls.

SW PAC: Tried some experiments in low ground strikes with Boomerangs at Lae. Not much result even with 70 exp low ground pilots. I'll try these occasionally when I see no AA units present. Made one DA here and the defenders are weakening slightly.

Saw a SCTF at Umboi on the 7th and sent in PTs to try to scout and hit it, but they ran into mines and didn't find the TF.

CHINA: Lots of bombardments, and the big news is that ALL od the tank divisions now face the besieged Chinese troops at 76,46, plus the tank brigade and several tank regiments. To fill out the hex he has some of the big siege artillery. This has worked previously, but I can get a lot of units moving in and out here, so there is still a chance to hold. I need at least another 2-3 weeks to get the zombie units arriving to move through. After that this hex is less necessary, but it's critical during that period. I don't want Chungking overstacked.

SIGINT: More gold!!!

The KB looks to be in the DEI from all indications anyway, and this would seem to confirm that with a destination near Western New Guinea. Maybe positioning for a strike to the Pacific?

CV Akagi is moving to 82,118.

June 13 - 18, 1943

SUBS: Lots of misses.

INDIA: Another coupe of DAs at Imphal go a bit worse, but still not bad for wearing them out. The Japanese finally pull out of the base and I will pursue and try again. Might get to them before they build forts, and that could be a better day.

CENT PAC: I try a small invasion of Arawe as I know he's been putting a fragment of one garrison force into quite a few different bases, including this one. He flies in paras and the small Aussie commando unit is crushed. Worth a try, and now I know how he'd lie to respond.

Got three of the old CLs into Roi Namur for a good old smash-up. They did okay with around 12-15 planes destroyed and around 50 hits on the fields in addition to other damage. The Maleolap invasion is heading in on the 19th and I wanted to make sure nothing was going on there, or at least a limited something.

SO PAC: Lots of ships at Torokina. I keep wanting to pull the trigger on my 5 SCTFs sitting in the lower Solomons, clear it out and land at Buin. I haven't had the right opportunity yet, but maybe soon.

Lae is in Allied hands! The base falls to a shock on the 13th and now a small commando unit has occupied and taken Nadzab. Construction units are on the way. To me this is more important than Buin and Torokina, as it will open up the whole area once Nadzab is built up and holds a few hundred of the best sweepers and 4Es!

CHINA: On the 16th at 76,46 the Japanese get a 1:1 but with tough losses in squads, engineers and vehicles. Luckily the Chinese still have some supply and the attack the next day

While I don't plan to use these ships against the IJN counterparts if possible, they're quick and can pack a punch in bombardments, and they can take on the old IJN CLs at least.

June 19 - 20, 1943

SUBS: The KX hits an AMC with one near Tanjoe.

INDIA: Now moving to engage the IJA between Imphal and Kalemyo.

CENT PAC: The Maleolap invasion goes in smoothly, with BBs fighting off the worst of the fort CD guns, but the troops can't overcome level 5 forts and fail to take the base. Lots of disablements so this could be a long one again. I'm going to load up for Wotje soon too, and just see how that goes since the troops are ready.

The IJN takes a stab at the fleet from near Roi Namur with the minor-KB, but weather thwarts the strikes and results in lots of kills for the good guys!

On the day over 50 IJN strike planes and fighters downed for limited Allied losses. I hightailed it out to Mili the day after but they did not pursue. Now the big wait. Lots of booms will be dropping though as two groups of Venturas have been added to the four groups of B-25s hitting the troops at Maleolap.

SO PAC: I'll risk a bombardment try at Torokina with five SCTF on the 21st. Fingers crossed.

CHINA: The IJA strike again only a few days after the last one at 76, 46. Again they get a 1:2 as our troops still have supply.

I stupidly set my Hellcats to 25k thinking of sweeps, but of course he can't sweep his own base, and they were out of play for most of the battles here. The Kittens did alright though and flak took care of the rest.

I had a lot of success using the old CLs as destroyer leaders. The last campaign they were among my most successful ships in surface combat. They just tear Japanese CLs up.

Disaster for the USN!!: June 21, 1943

SUBS: None of our subs spotted or engaged the massive IJN fleets moving to Torokina.

SO PAC: We sent in five SCTFs and right away they engaged a strong IJN fleet. The three CA and 6 DD that are the front runners suffer at the hands of IJN BBs. Two DDs and a CA are sunk for one IJN DD. Not a good trade.

Then three CL and four DD avoid combat once with the Musashi and company before finally getting reeled in and crushed. In successive battles the BBs sink two more CL and a few DDs. I think we got 2-3 IJN DDs total. Not good.

Three of the SCTFs we sent did not engage. I got messages they were retreating due to enemy presence or whatever that message is. One was two BBs and 8 DDs that was the core of the move, and had Ching Lee commanding.

CHINA: Another battle in 76,46 that leads to heavy IJA casualties. The AV for four tank divisions, a tank brigade and a few tank regiments is quickly approaching only 1,000.

The Chinese at Chungking seem to be losing a lot of guns too. Really a lot like when I was bombarding Madras. I don't trust the numbers, but they must be losing some to get this high of a CR estimate.

Like I posted on Lowpe's AAR, your SC TF go in according to TFs number (lowest first) when all things are relatively equal. He lost Yamato by her going in first to Fletchers. I know you have said that you pick aggressive leaders, but in this case did something else go wrong?? I would now go with a TF of 8 Fletchers followed by everybody else and double check the individual DD for great leaders.

I am not sure that your 2BB force would have fared any better against the IJN forces arrayed against you. It is getting late, and Japan most likely won't have many more days like that. It is frustrating when the engine does things you don't expect, but I firmly believe that is what makes the game so neat as the unpredictable can happen.
