"1. Japan--at all costs--sticks to its goal of 70% for CAs (instead of 60%). Japan is authorized to build a total of 14 CAs."

Except the quota was by tonnage; by tonnage, Japan is 110% Banzai!

Reminds me of the old Star Trek episode with the rogue Harry Mudd, who was living on some planet with dozens of hot android babes, along with one model based on his shrewish ex-wife. At the end of the show, after the Enterprise crew have "repaired" the facility, poor Mudd is mobbed by not one, but multiple copies of her. He sees with terror that one of them is numbered 500.

A noticeable lack of cursing the land combat model though. Or the sign that things are not going well enough in China?

I wonder why so many people are posting so frequently in Dan's AAR?


I wouldn't worry about it, John. They're probably just comparing notes on who can post the most whimsical, yet supple discussion of some tree or the other. Pretty soon they'll get around to taking turns and bragging about the size of their...naval bases.

So your humorous hyperbole is funny and exaggerated.... But it isn't THAT exaggerated. But I'm sure the extra tools the Allies get will be able to push out the entrenched IJ Forces out of Conquered India, China, Australia and whatever else they take in 42' and 43'.

I have to admit this mod gives Japan alot of goodies, but that's counterbalanced by all the stuff the Allies get. The RN gets three extra Vampire-class DDs disbanded in port at Port Stanely with 97% SYS damage, reflecting my reluctance to equip the Allies so. And the Americans get 200 extra Marauders effective January 1, 1946.

Status: offline 		I haven't extensively categorized the changes to the Allied OOB, but it seems to get some extra french CAs/CLs/DDs, maybe a BB, an extra Dutch CL, one BC added to Force Z, a British CV at game start, Wasp upgraded to a Yorktown-class, CV Ranger, a few extra CVEs, and some (4?) Cruiser/CV hybrids (~15 a/c) that can later covert to CVLs (~30 a/c). So not too shabby, perhaps not commensurate (can't really say), but the later Allied material advantage should make itself felt nonetheless.

Michael is on vacation, so I've set aside my economic issues until he gets back. In the meantime, I'm going to focus my efforts in places where supply is relatively flush.

Operation Ichi Goo: To this point, I haven't moved any units in China. (Did I mention that I don't enjoy the land war in Asia? If I didn't, I'm sure someone else did for me.) I'm considering which ones I want to move and where.

Easter Egg No. 1: I tweaked SigInt a bit to eliminate the use "chatter" like this:

Radio transmissions detected at Babar (76,117).

Then I tweaked it a bit to give Japan a little helpful stuff. Here's today's report:

SIG INT REPORT FOR Jan 02, 42

CV Hornet has a complement of 20 fighters, 36 dive bombers, 30 torpedo bombers
She is in TF 3 in hex 114, 73, heading due West at regular speed
Her commander is Mark Mischer
There are two other CVs in the TF
One of those is CV Enterprise
She has 22 SYS damage accuring after a flank speed run and a collision with CA Pensacoloa [another Easter Egg]
Hornet should be in hex 114, 67 tomorrow
Based upon current movement orders, she should be near Nagaoka in two days
Computer estimates raid on Home Island industry
Your nearest fighter squadrons are in Taiwan
Send every fighter back to the HI now.

Banzai!

Easter Egg No. 2: I got this surprising information. Have any of you ever seen this before? I swear this wasn't coded into my mod. I'm pretty sure. Banzai!

OPERATIONAL REPORT FOR Nov 06, 44

SS I-3506 reports having been sighted by the enemy at 180 , 107
SS I-3519 reports having been sighted by the enemy at 180, 109
Pearl Harbor reported sunk by upgraded salvo of Photon Torpedoes fired by SS I-3506 at 180 , 107
All units scheduled to arrive at Pearl Harbor erased from data base at 180 , 107

I'm pretty sure Pearl Harbor is gone, as I heard breaking up sounds.
Also, the Intel Screen reports 219 P-26 fighters destroyed "on Ground." [I bumped P-26 fighter production to 73 per month to enhance Allied air operations, since the next gen P-39 doesn't arrive unit 3/44.]

Scratch one "unsinkable flattop"!

Banzai!

Didn't Grant order his band to play "Dixie" after Lee surrendered at Appomattox and Confederate troops were marching away to dispersal to their homes? Another gesture of respect and goodwill toward brothers-in-arms.

General Chamberlain had his men render honors to the Confederates as they marched in to surrender their arms. General Gordon returned those honors.

Also the "The air fleet of 300 G5N2 Liz have started to bomb Panama canal from Tokyo. The canal is destroyed (possible in this mod!) and so further movement through it is prohibited." (uh, I feel that I have erred in this one, gave John an idea maybe I shouldn't).

And finally:
"It is 1943 and Japan is R&Ding the atomic bomb. Should come online in early 1944".



All kidding aside, it is John's mod and all who play him know EXACTLY what they are getting into - an ironman mod where Japan has a hundred of new ships and planes types led by a super aggressive and competent AI

I think we must remember that this is a game, and it IS unrealistic (Japan routinely conquers China, anyone?). So why not make a fun mod to give Japan ironman scenario toys.

Someone wrote that John's mod was made specifically tailor made to allow John to play the game with his unique playstyle - hyper aggressive everywhere. The thing is, the answer to this is "duh!". OF course this mod is made by John for John, and it gives an experienced Allied player a very challenging and fun game.

ME, if I played the Allies in this vs John, would have lost San Francisco to a Japanese naval invasion in 1942

I searched for Anarcho and John's AAR's because I enjoy Anarcho's AAR vs John a lot, to me the best AAR I have read on this game. Because of the mod, it is nonstop action. Sci fi Star Wars action but hey.
