Status: offline 		Well the public humiliation continues. As you could guess (if anyone is still reading this , the war being lost and all that) Wobbly had set a nice little trap at gavinama (or what ever they call it), and my small task force encountered only PT boats, and mines.
Ca Hagurana is going home.
Worse to follow, some crazy admiral had sent BB kongo staeming south (on react?on follow TF? who knows) straight into the arms of at least 2 CVs
Bye Bye Kongo, she wont get home, and another CA, also maxed.

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This is humiliating!!!

Im going into my shell until wobbly makes a move, did you know that all it takes to get lots of ships released before OCT all you have to do is have 6 capital ships sunk!
Try it, it works well.
Another big question that now begins to loom , where is wobblies LBA, especially the B17s??
And I wonder why I dont sleep at nights:D

All quiet that turn

He is still reconning GG and Irau madly, Ive got surface forces assigned for both places

Ive ordered the capture of woodlark island, will attempt to buils a small field there,
Munda is finished building airfield wise, as is shortlands and gasmatta, Admiralties almost finished

No real troop reinforcements coming yet, but I got a carrier!, one little CVE, Ive sent her to shortlands, not sure what to do with her yet.
My big hope is that wobbly attacks too early, but I doubt it, I think Wunpunko and Gavinnama? to its north will groan under the wieght of B17s, , and these will smash me.

What to do?



have more beer!:D

Big convoy got into GG, lots of troops there now, and adequate supplies.
massive supply convoys are departing truck, and what troops I have are almost where I want them.

Im moving all my ex cv vals and kates back to shortlands, until i know where the attack will come.
Lots of planes, not many real ships yet.
intelligence (E mails) from wobbly show a desire to attack very shortly, I really hope he does, I think he will come up short.
No action , lots of tension.

Millions of transports, not enough escorts.
troops landing at woodlark, and another field being built at marilan.

having secured the far east greater co prosperity sphere, Imperial HQ relaxes, orders in the beer, and thumbs its nose at wobbly.

Getting a few turns in tonight, no more time to post, time to kill yanks.

Is it a convoy, or something more sinister?

BB Musashi is enroute, with significant escort.
Since Im now playing for entertainment, she probably wont be committed until yammato arrives, the thought of those two battlewagons together has that something IJN fans just love, and I cant resist it.:D

NO WAY

Little to report still, Ive occupied some of those small islands to the east of GG, using small forces as trip wires.
real life interfering a bit this week.

No sign of action from my honorable opponent, my supply situation continues to improve.

Status: offline 		I havent posted for a couple of turns as nothing has been happening, no sign of action, no move from wobbly

Well its on, I think.
A convoy approaching rossell island has just been smashed by a CV group just to the east of GG, and PM, as I thought it would be has been closed in one big strike, I moved aircraft out the day before, so no planes trapped yet.

I reckon this is a deception, my forces remain in harbour, and mt Betties and nells remain grounded until I get a better picture.

My tactic is this, I believe any attempt to immediately oppose an invasion will see his CVs sink my critical BBs, so Im going to hold a bit, and hope a opportunity comes up.

As a tactic poor CVE urnyo will become my own decoy, next turn she heads east from shortlands, for a big around the edge move, and make a lunge north of wunpunko, timing hopefully when wobblies invasion is fully committed.
Then I will release the BBs, and Betties.

Only 20 days then Shok,Zuikaka and Hiryo return

Can I hold. I doubt it, not yet, lets see how he goes about december with long supply lines, if this is the attack, thigs are good.

Status: offline 		Well wobbly is attacking, and boldly at that.

GG is full of warships, and some hit the mines there, one CA and a DD.
My response is deliberately weak, a single Kate strike from Dobadura, which performed pathetically.
Im so glad I didnt react with surface forces, as his CVs move boldly into the middle of the ocean north of GG. GG is full of CAs and a BB.
Unfortunately my plan for CVE uryo is bust, she got caught transitting with a convoy, down she will go.
Im trying to clear the oceans, and also get some base forces over to New guinea, Im too heavily biased to the solomon chain.

My reaction this turn will be Betties and nells from Lea Lea, one strike only, hopefully at the transports, his CVs I hope will be hitting a PG decoy force.
His LBA is awsome, PM and dobadura are now closed.
This is going to be tough.
too depressing to drink beer.
Anyone with some spare weapons of mass destruction???

If Gili Gili really is closed, using your Bettys to keep it closed once he captures it might be a good idea.

Interesting turn. His invasion fleet sems to have just about unloaded, might be enough troops, might not be!
My mines continue to cull, it was a very big field
I think 3 aps, a DD and a CA so far have hit mines
Only one squad of Nells struck, for a fair return, one or two APs hit.
They have been sent to Wau to rebuild. 3 more squads of Betties and nells, with 1 SQ of zeros, and my 1st reinforcement sq of oscars are ordered to attack at lea. The zeros last attack culled his wildcats very well.

Ive been caught with far too many base forces too far forward, so some are being fast trans. from lunga to gassmatta.
All bases in the area are well built, it will be a game of getting base forces in place that will really count.

In what Ive really agonised over, Ive sent all shipping (less minelayers, 3 fast trans ) back to Truck, Im going to let his CVs roam in a target vacuum, build my forces, and when I strike, really strike.
In the meantime I will dribble my LBA with heaps of zeros into the fray, wear his CAP out, then really hit with all my orphaned carrier air groups.

I truly think wobbly has jumped the gun, struck with far too little support. All game he has avoided a fight, now hes stuck with one.

The next month will be deadly.
Who said this game is over as soon as the jap CVs are sunk?
Also his LBA didnt strike that turn, real uber weapons fly every day.
Dobadura is already back online!

Status: offline 		Well only another day and the garrison at GG will be destroyed, the base has fallen.

Disapointing day, only 9 Nells launched, over 50 bombers refused to fly, all high morale ect, very perplexing.
The raid that did go scored no hits, but the escorts took one for one on the wildcats, a oscar even got a kill.
3 aps finished off in the solomon sea, and uryo gone as well, as wobbly sails his CVs right up to woodlark. Surely his pilots are tired now!

I have 3 fast transport groups unloading at gasmatta, they are exposed, but I need base forces there. gasmatta is a fully functioning size 4 base if they get the base forces unloaded.

I tried an experiment, sent 4 pgs into GG, they got sunk, but, and this excites me, wobblies BB and CAs appear to have retired, having expended their ammo. If, If the fast transports survive, I will try a whoosh whoosh long lance attack now that he has had to retire major units.

Its a trick I think i will pay very close attention too.
Finally mines continue to score at GG.

Better yet, the 1st squadron from Gassmatta , 14 vals and escorts hit his ships, 3 APs hit.
Even better, North Carolina hit 2 mines today, but she doesnt seem undamaged

Im going to keep up just a steady pressure, moved heaps of AC to gassmatta that turn, I will rest now for one day, then really do a big attack...... a 4ca 6dd force is coming into the theatre.
3 fast transports TFs of 1 cl ,5dds each are refuelling, will in 3 days attack from Lea.

Hopefully wobbly thinks he has a tiger by the tail, which hasnt exposed its real claws yet.

Big reinforcements have arrived Truck.

1st strike claimed a DD sunk near woodlark
2nd gave 2 very good hits on AOs, this will matter later.
3rd strike saw 3 torp hits on BB North Carolina, shes out of the war!

Wobblie is withdrawing his CVs, Im going for another big effort, maximum Port strikes this time, Ive transferred heaps of planes back into Dobodurra, Buna, and PM, they are all up and running, gassmatta and Lea will strike as well if all goes well.

Also from Lunga a sweep or 2 has been ordered, just to keep wobbly wondering

Elsewhere, 3 small task forces have dispatched from Kavieg, long lances at the ready.
And at Truck, a massive grey lump of metal, escorted by lots of other large lumps of metal, slips quietly out, and heads south....

Status: offline 		The aerial carnage above GG continues, I truly hope Wobbly hopes he has got a tiger by the tail, The effort by my airforces cant be maintained for much longer, crippled planes are scattered all over the place.

The gamble to use dobadura and PM again didn t come off, 50 B17s hit Dobadura and closed it again, and the mediums closed PM again.
I think at the moment though I have five fields I can use, and he can only close 2 at a time. When GG gets up and running though I truly will be in trouble.

1st off my subs (which I have had in reserve for ages) return, sinking 1, and hitting another AP
The air battle was fierce, I guessed North Carolina would dock, and was right.
A squad of P39s are now in GG, and wildcats are on CAP (a carrier? detached?, where are they coming from?)
The P39s fell like autumn leaves, some wildcats too, my zeros and oscars are still in the fight, but now getting very tired
3 250 KG deck armour hits on North Carolina, just to add to the mess.
other results disapointing, far too many planes damaged for results achieved.

His CVs are leaving, at least 3 days away.
Tonight the surface forces attack, some are already spotted, but not all of them....
And my last wave of available a/c are put back to naval attack


If only I had some troops to send into this fray, I could have really fought this out, I have so many transports and DDs at truck there is no room left for the CVs and Cas coming soon to anchor.....

Status: offline 		Dive bombers operating now out of GG, PM and Dobadura both closed for good, with planes stuck there too, it aint looking good.
I lost my 1st minelayer to them.

I will fight on!
3CA,1CL and DDs swept into GG last night, claimed yet more pt craft, and 2 DMs, but never bombarded the field.
Another, yes another group will be having a go tonight
Ive ordered a BB attack as well, 2 days out I think, this is a gamble, the CVs might be getting close by then

For planes, Im withdrawing all bombers(ex CV), for the big operation down the track, my Betties and Nells are moving to Munda, here I plan a night air campaign

I intend to get as many zeros operating over GG as I can muster

Long term plan, in 40 odd days time 2 full fresh divisions arrive, and 3 CVs ( i hope)
The CVs can become a decoy, while I send a huge invasion fleet to GG

IF wobbly invades anywhere else between now and then I have a easy plan. Do nothing
His LBA will dominate , so I just cant give him targets until then, and I must conserve my airpower.
Thats the plan. For what it is worth :rolleyes:

Not much else happening. Bad weather keeps us pretty quiet.

Status: offline 		The weather begins to clear and wobblies CVs begin the softening up process, hitting Dobadura, where a AP and a DD die quickly.
I only have about 5 other ships anywhere in range, I will probably lose them, ce la ve.
I have 2 BB, 1cvl, 9ca, 3 cl and 20 plus dd at truck, and so many aps its not funny.In 35 days I will have 6 new regiments.
Wobbly is going to hit Dobadura or Buna next, and will capture it/them. all my combat troops are coming back over the mountains from PM, but wont arrive in time.
What to do. Well hope dobadura falls, not buna. get the troops back, and try to tie him down.
Load up every ship Ive got when the 6 regiments finally arrive, and re take GG, cut him off!
Thats the plan.
For what it is worth Ive ordered 60 plus LBA for a night port attack from munda to gg, hope something comes of it.
His LBA closes dobadura, only a dozen cripples left there now.
Desperate times, will he over extend?

His Cvs then hit my only forces at sea, 1cl, 4 dd sunk.

Situation - Im buggard
My only air power left is at Munda, about 60 A/C there, and 60 A/c at shortlands, and 100 zeros at Truk
elswhere my fields are closed, or I have no base forces available. its mainly the later that is hurting.
Shortland continues to night attack GG, with success, 1 or 2 ships hit every night, for little loss.If only his CVs would come over so Munda Vals will get into the game
Dobadura is his target, it will fall, no assualt troops there at all.
Buna is moderately defended, but a full division is marching over from PM, its really a race I think
Wobbly Cvs are now just 2 hexes south of gasmatta, showing how helpless I am at the moment.
I continue to grit my teeth and say, thankyou sir, may I have another!

Status: offline 		Not many turns this week, Wobbly has a few things to sort out.
His invasion fleet has hit dobadura, a full division of troops, he will have a pleasant surprise at the lack of troops there, Buna is stocked Ok, but its a good move by him at the moment

GG is empty of ships now, so my LBA has been stood down.
Interestingly it seems very low on assualt troops. A grain of hope for me down the track.
The keep out of the way plan is still on, though he has a nasty habit of appearing in unexpected places.
Not enjoying this a bit at the moment, roll on the next month :rolleyes:

Moved the remains of my short range air to Gassmatta last turn, set it to naval attack.
What happens, a single small raid from GG and his CVs closes the place, and my planes dont launch. Very angry that they didnt launch before his strike arrived, I knew it was a risk, but just 1 strike closing the place from light bombers...... OUCH!!!!

Dobadura falls.
My Regiments 2 to 3 days from Buna at worse.
Hes having a cake walk at the moment
Ship release is at high, and 2 CVs sit at japan, finger up bum
A third is 15 days from arrival in Japan ( Shok, Zuik and Hiyo) I have shoho here at Truk already.
So many transports available its funny, and more coming.
15 days for 1st troops.

Objective for the next 15 days, base force evacs from buna.

Status: offline 		****** off yesterday, smiling today
yesterday heaps of my A/C got stuck at gasmatta as his raids closed the place, today my fighters flew, the engineers are going well, the fighters culled a healthy number of hudsons over gassmatta
Almost by accident Ive discovered a new tactic, and its going straight to the pool room( aussie joke) I knew wobbly has some minesweepers in GG, they are my No1 target, as I have mines all up the coast of New Gunea, but they have been hiding in Port.
I sent a minelayer submarine into GG, she laid a few mines, the minesweepers activated, and my DBs from Gassmatta got them!

So Im happy.
Im moving all my aircraft back to the shortlands now, as my GG invasion fleet will have to come via the gap between shortlands and Munda, Woodlark now has a small field, all going well the invasion convoy will have some LRCAP all the way.
Wobblies CVs are going home, via E mail Ive been telling him of a grand plan, carriers about to arrive, desperate deeds ect,ect,ect (bit like Tokyo Rose), I hope he is now thinking herbie is going to go for a auto victory suicide run , and wait in ambush for a bit, while I ferry in a few fuel runs to shortlands and the admiralties
Buna troops arrive tomoorow.
A fast transport run is headed to buna to try to pick up some base troops for evacuation.
I still think this isnt over by a long shot

If anyone has any ideas on how I should tackle GG, lets hear em

3CV, 1cvl, 2BB, 9CA, 3CL, 20 dd, 40 ap available. 2 divisions available ( or shouldd be in 2 weeks time)

counted DDs at truck, actually nearly 25 there, so a 2nd fast force has been formed, and heads south, Tanaka in command

Status: offline 		The battle for Buna has begun, my shock attack failed, but my total number of defensive troops exceeds his total. How long will it take wobbly to get 2 to 1 odds.
that is the question, the answer, lots of dead allied troops , I hope.
a few ships lurking in port at GG, so tonight another mass night attack from Munda. Tanaka approaches at the head of a small task force, another approaches Dobadura as a fient, just to keep wobbly guessing.
A large fast transport is headed towards Munda, Im going to base it there, and evac rennel island, Wobbly is reconning Irau like crazy, so thats his next target, so no real need to keep troops at rennel to get bypassed.

But Buna is the key at the moment, Ive just recieved half a regiment at Truk, I think we will feed it into the battle, to force wobbly to commit more troops.

I think he is stretched, especially for transports. His LBA is not closing me down , in fact I now regret evacing all my engineers from PM, as i think I could have got it open.
Another lesson, putting Jap mavis and co on night naval attack is a waste, nothing doing there.

Submarines are retiring to truk , readying for the offensive, their role will be mining. Also heaps of barges are now at madang, they will be ammo spunges, emptying wobblies coffers before the big boys arrive.
Well thats the details. Operation GG still on, send a turn or two wobbly, Im eager to strike back!!!

Status: offline 		!st I really hope wobbly isnt reading this, as the phyc war has begun. Sent him the next turn with a message (good old tokyo rose) that went like this: a large army (but not large enough) deep inside enemy lines, with an exposed supply line, stretched, an enemy resurgent with conserved planes and ships, and reinforcements flowing in, and a opponent willing still to go for a auto victory.
:D
Love to know his thoughts
The action.
Bombed Townsville!!!!!, with a mavis strike. Thatll get him(totally irrelevant but it should stir him up a bit)
Then his LBA hit Buna again, not nearly as effectively that time.
Then in beatiful clear skies my Betties and Nells struck from Munda at GG
6 AK hit, 2 should sink
1ap hit
1 tanker hit
Cl leander smacked!!
CA portland hit, out of the war!

losses were heavy, 22 betties lost(out of 50 plus used), but it should really give him pause.(still some in pool)
Where are his CVs?. Im beginning to think back at pearl, or preparing for Irau invasion.
Fine, get tangled in two fronts!
I have 23000 troops at Buna, he has 16000

1st very successful evac from rennel island last night, totally undetected, half a regiment out, now at munda

Tomorrow 27 betties, 50 zeros are tasked to attack from gassmatta, target, shipping.
man I like this game.

During the day buna sees more heavy raids, and bombardments from both sides. Strangly enough, now that my troops have some support, they are losing some disruption. it will take another full division to take Buna.
gassmatta air raid, 12 betties, 40 plus zeros, a even fight, wirriways copped it, so did his (must be very fatigued) p40s
Another AK, and another MSW hit hard!!!

now i begin a guessing game, the planes have moved now to Kavieg to rest, but a number of kates and vals have moved to Lea, I have 4 fields I can hit him from, 5 if i deploy all A/c, surely he cant close all of them, and bomb buna, and have naval strike available.

Another evac run to rennel island departs munda.

Status: offline 		The aircraft that moved to lea got jumped, that base is closed for a little while, but not before(about time too) they got in their strike. 4 vals and six kates lost, only 1 zero I think, for at least 4 wildcats, claimed anyway.
kates did well, 2 torpredoes into the CA salt lake city, the vals sold themselves dear as well, hitting a CL heavily, although I think she will stay.
Not much else to report, Im loading half a regiment at truk, it might get to lea, it might not, me thinks only several thousand more troops at buna and it will be very difficult for him to eject me.

PM airfield back online(sssshhhhh), dribbles of a/c evacuating the place.
