Once bitten, twice shy.


I used 'developers' prerogative and moved one Corp from Chengtu to Ankang when I did some things in China.

KB3 off Boela and another TF or two in general area.
Singapore - sweeps...sweeps...

Key: TT = Torpedo; bb = ground bombardment; c = casualties; b = base hits; s = supply hits; r = runway hits; p = port hits; f = fuel hits; AV = Assault Value; DC = Depth Charged; (*) = destroyed aircraft; If odds are italics, they are the Allies; BG = Bomber Group of 48 planes (4 x 12 bomber squadrons); FG fighter group = 25 fighter planes if American

Landings:

CVs:
KB1 & 2 - MIA day 4, probably left Truk, but going to ....
KB3 - at 81, 108 (2 NE Boela) - reach out to sink a PC and AVP trying to escape from Ternate with 14 Zero & 11 Vals 4 east of Kendari
KB4 - MIA day 5
CVEs - MIA day 6

Subs:
I-123 is between Borneo and Celebes and sinks a small damaged TK with single TT hit.

India/Burma:
Victoria Point - 36 Lily and 16 sally soften up the small BF before part of Thai division takes the bases easily.
Moulmein -
Pegu - No attacks here as my LRCAP 'may' have scared away his bombers.

China:
Nanyang - 2 SW of base with 14 Nate & 6 Ann
Hwainan -

Malaya: -
Singapore - 23 Sally at night. sweeps by 18 Zero, 12 Tojo, 24 Oscars, and another 26 Oscars.

SRA:
Force Z, CVL Charlotte, and American CA/CLs are ordered back to Balikpapan to top of fuel. Then, they will head south as KB3 and another TF are off Boela and at Sorong.

New Guinea/Solomons:
Three small TFs are off to north through NE waiting for... OR as bait!

Central Pacific:
Nauru -

South Pacific:
Mini Allied "Death Star" is at Townsville. I will be here for few days to totally refuel. One of my small SBD groups (from CVL) are headed to southern bases to allow upgrade from -1 to -2 versions.

North Pacific:
CV Saratoga TF is ordered to move to 2 due east of Attu. I hope to keep her here and hit a convoy before heading to Pearl to meet Yorktown in early January.

CL Phoenix & Honolulu with 6 DDs are headed to be next door to Saratoga.

Engineers:

Intel:

Notes/Plans:
Pace is kind of slow to me. Does any viewers feel that way from the cheap seats??

I wish you could have done that for me!

Watching China with big interest. Will be very exciting to see if the changes in RA will make China a bit tougher on the Japanese. Cribtop will make no mistakes here I´m sure. I doubt he will repeat his failure to knock China out as he did against Cuttlefish. He seems very methodical and thorough. So he will have done his homework.

Try to get some recon into China. Also consider moving out some of the reserves in the Changsha area to Chungking. That way you will save a month worth of travel time if he goes "all in" for a single sector like Tom did.

Main changes in China were - forts at bases to 3 if they were lower; dot bases to 2; about 25 to 33% increase in devices to hopefully give the Chinese a little better defensive capabilities; decrease number of damaged industry at Changsha and Chungking to increase supply generation; daily supply at Chungking increased by 50 per day; and carry over from RA was increased garisson requirements for both sides. Hope these help.

Status: offline 		I think the apparent potential China solution is to take away all the VP's you can for conquering objectives and add garrison requirements for empire.
I agree that empire auto victory should not be heavily influenced by China results or strategic bombing.

Aside - I never have thought that strategic bombing should have any VP's associated with it on either side of the ball. You do it to reduce future capacity, but there isn't a game bonus to it.

Great pic, but I find the word "bigger" a bit off-base. The Boise had essentially the same displacement and three more main guns, but fewer 5" guns.
The real advantage of the Clevelands was better layout of the guns and excellent fire control, which Boise got in later upgrades.
Perhaps the word "younger" or "newer" should be used here.

So Cleveland's can be considered 'bigger' in size by a few tons.
Boise had another turret of 6" guns so she could be 'bigger.'

I've played around with my catch phrase and may change it later, but if you go over to Olorin's AAR about my other game, I thing he feels my Cleveland's are nasty enough to 'nuke' his AF at Sorong.

Here's the other I put together if you decide you like this as an alternate.



Best of luck in your game!!

St Louis and Helena the only two members of the St. Louis Class were interesting. I believe the Japanese refered to them as machine gun cruisers for their rate of fire
but that may have been the Brooklyn Class.

KB3 remains off Ambon protecting transports.
Phase 2 objectives may be coming as transports and KB4 are off northern coast of Borneo.

Key: TT = Torpedo; bb = ground bombardment; c = casualties; b = base hits; s = supply hits; r = runway hits; p = port hits; f = fuel hits; AV = Assault Value; DC = Depth Charged; (*) = destroyed aircraft; If odds are italics, they are the Allies; BG = Bomber Group of 48 planes (4 x 12 bomber squadrons); FG fighter group = 25 fighter planes if American

Landings:
Ambon with 1st Kure Assault Division & BF

CVs:
KB1 & 2 - MIA day 6
KB3 - at 77, 111 (3 SW Ambon) - 33 Zeros escort in 42 Kates to hit troops, but cause no casualties through the rain.
KB4 - at 66,83 (3 NE of Miri) - 13 Zero fly over with 15 Kates to sink 3 HDMLs at Tarakan.
CVEs - MIA day 8

Subs:

India/Burma:
Moulmein -
Pegu -

China:
Nanyang - 1 LCU now at base
Hwaiyan - Shock attack takes base by Route Brigade.

Malaya: -
Singapore - Sweeps by 18 Zero, 12 Tojo followed by 49 Oscars escorting in 20 Lily & 68 Sally. Forts had made 3 three days ago and may not go further. Almost all my planes have left a few days ago. Some are still at Sabang (air lifted part of Air HQ from Malaya over to Medan before RR up to base) and at Port Blair on way to Burma/India.
Temuloh -

Philippines:
Manila - First day of attacks by LB - 12 Lily & 6 Sally. Despite this, forts go up to 3 and building is stopped.
Clark -

SRA:
Ambon - CA Nachi is embedded in Amphib TF, but doesn't seem enough. 14 CD shells hit two transports at night. 24 Betty hit troops at dawn. 13 Zeros are on LRCAP from KB3 and easily down 1 of 2 Dutch fighters and 3 of 7 Hudsons. 2 more Hudsons are lost later. Two sinking sounds are heard later in the day, so maybe..... Undamaged air groups leave.

New Guinea/Solomons:

Central Pacific:

South Pacific:

North Pacific:
CV Saratoga TF and 2 CL, 6 DD TF are now just east of Attu.

Australia:
Townsville - Mini Allied "Death Star" has completed refueling. One of my small SBD groups (from CVL) has moved back from Brisbane, but I need the other 5 airframes to use RR to get back to base so I can reload them.

Engineers:

Intel:

Notes/Plans:
Naval Search - I don't use my valuable PBYs and Catalina in any Naval Attack as I feel they are more valuable keeping track of Japan's moves. Right now I have some at Dutch Harbor, Kodiak, Midway, Pearl, Johnson, Christmas, Canton, Vaitupe, Rabaul, Cairns (BF and some troops just left Port Moresby for OZ), Horn Island, Kendari, and Singkawang. Once Ambon falls, I will have a gap in eastern SRA and another in lower Solomons. I'll move the PBYs that were at Port Moresby, but are now back at Cairns to Darwin to close that gap. I need to get some AVPs or a AV with 2 DDs at Luganville.

Christmas Island troops leave San Diego. ETA is 12 days. Reports show they were spotted by Glen.

Fuel - 13 x 14 knot TKs with 3 escorts leaving LA with 141k worth of fuel for NZ. I tend to use San Fran for troops and supply and LA for fuel.

ASW groups - I am training up the small 5 plane bomber groups that will withdraw in June/July '42 along with the FPs taken off the damaged BBs. I just got my fourth 18 plane Kingfisher FP group at LA. Only one has rested to get Morale to 99 and start ASW training. Some of the others will follow. In RA/BTS, I allow these 4 groups to upgrade to SBD-3 and beyond. I have 4 of 7 Wirraway groups doing so in Australia. Plans here are to upgrade some of these to the LR Hudsons later.

To my reader - anything on PBY/Catalina placement or usage you would do differently?? What about ASW training?? I have one of my PBY-5A in USA doing this also.

Yeah, I usually look at standard displacement because so much of the full load is fuel and ammo for all those AA guns, not to mention all the crew needed to fire them.
No arguments at all about the NASTY part of the description!

Sulu Sea - very nice artwork on both versions! About the Brooklyn class vs Helena/St. Louis - the latter two were considered Brooklyn class with some minor differences that made them a sub-group.
All of the Brooklyns and the Clevelands had the same rate of fire that kept a constant stream of shells heading for the enemy. I saw a video of one of these cruisers firing and the rate of fire for the main guns was every five seconds!
Nashville (AFAIK) was the only cruiser to decide a land battle directly when it shelled a Panzer division which was counterattacking the Salerno landings and was about to overrun the allied troops. Nashville's fire flipped Tiger tanks and wiped out most of the
supporting infantry and half-tracks. No wonder the Germans selected these cruisers for the first few targets of their radio controlled glider bombs.!

Cribtop is taking a different approach for capturing the peninsula. See screen shot.


Philippines:
Manila -
Clark -
Cagayan - 20 Nells at night

SRA:
Ambon - another day of rest for troops. Probably will not last much longer.

New Guinea/Solomons: three TFs remain between Truk and Rabaul not going anywhere

Central Pacific:
Makin - 51st Nav Gds capture empty base.

South Pacific:

North Pacific:

Australia:

Engineers:
Seattle - P7; Sydney - P9; Chungking AF5; Hobart - F3

Intel:

Notes/Plans:
KB3 - with the third part of KB now headed east from Ambon area, does Cribtop have big plans in Central and South Pacific while I move to interfere with the capture of SRA.

Singapore - I have 873 AV behind level 3 forts. Not enough, but hopefully a large enough speed bump.

Notes/Plans:
Central China - Looks like this is main effort by Cribtop. I've been able to retreat in good order and 'hopefully' can get a few levels of forts built. See Screen shot.

Lesson learned !! - I had sent Saratoga TF to Aleutians to intervene at wars beginning. Then, I sent 2 CL with 6 DD from Pearl as soon as KB left. I had ordered Sara to head back towards Pearl three days ago. To compound this error, I had my SC TF stay between Attu and Amchitka. Thus, Cribtop was able to drop off troops at both bases and avoid any consequences. I should have left Sara there and placed my SC TF at one of the bases rather than try to react to enemy moves. Now, my SC TF will head back to Kodiak to refuel and then go to Umnak and stay there!!

Status: offline 		That is a very impressive early war sledgehammer. I eagerly await the results when you unleash it, specially since KB is being split. I'd even be comfortable with a CV exchange considering the force pools, but I think you will get the better of it.

Your deployment suggests you are going to surface counterpulse on AP's at the same time as drawing out a favorable CV battle?

Are you going to hide these puppies in nondescript small base(s) disbanded and wait - to make them harder to spot?

From the cheaps, it seems more and more like a China focused approach. Quick recoveries in DEI may the course of action with your CV power. He can't get to auto victory only in China, so he has to come out to play somewhere else.

Notes/Plans:
Penrhyn - I just finished unloading an EAB and Port Maintenance Unit (second came a reinforcement). I also have an AS, AE, AR, 2 AV, PC, & DD based here. Plans are to build port up one level to 2 before working on AF 0(0) getting up to level one (111 engineers present). If the Allies keep the Line Islands, this base can be stop over to shuttle planes from Pearl over to Pago Pago and beyond.

Enemy CVs - screen shot shows three separate CV/CVL/CVE type TFs. However, the number of planes in each TF is not great. I believe these are KB 1 & 2 along with CVEs and the numbers are wrong as the PBYs out of Ellice Islands have NavS skills of just 34.

SC TF is 3 west of Babeldoab. It shows as just warships as it heads west. I will have my DS refueling at Balikpapan next turn.
