So your CV action: Wow.

You took a serious risk putting the KB so close to Rabaul. If the allies had been able to put LBA there, it could have been a perfect trap on the allied side. BUT, you clearly analyzed is correctly: they didn't (couldn't?) get the air assets in place and your gamble paid off HUGE!!!

JFB dream scenario: Jan 42 and the allies are without any CV's of consequence until Mar '43. Sure Hornet and Wasp and a couple of Brits, but you are now fully able to create 2 CV TF's that are unstoppable until Mar '43. WOW!!! And even a mini-KB out of CVL/CVE is pretty much self sufficient.







Yeah, carrier superiority a IJ commander usually only dreams of. Mundy had LBA at Rabaul but think about the date, there is no Allied LBA at this stage of the war KB has to be afraid of, especially as I've upped its strenght with the CVLs. I really didn't see it as a gamble, was more like a bluff on Mundy's side and I called it with a straight flush. No Allied carrier should go within 30 hexes of KB until mid/end 42 at the earliest, at least that's what I usually do as the Allied.

Good show Caster Troy. So with control over the seven seas, whatever will Imperial Japan do? Inquiring minds want to know.




Thanks! I'm not going to do anything really outside the box I guess, there's no need to IMO. The goal is to inflict as much losses on the Allied while suffering as few as the Japanese, that's what I'm always trying to do. Destroying ships, destroying LCU is what counts the most. Not losing ships is what counts the most on my part, lost LCU can be rebuild, same for aircraft but ships can't.

second BB TF goes in to bombard and due to the absence of CD guns also the destroyers fired at the base doing quite some damage both to the base and the base forces there... another dozen aircraft destroyed... the full defeat in the carrier battle aside, I think trying to hold Rabaul is suizide... my airfield on Kavieng is already the same size as Rabauls and I've got Truk next to it with all the assets the IJ gets early war so Rabaul and to some extent even PM is a death trap for the Allied...

after three heavy naval bombardments of Rabaul I've thought it was ok to bomb the base with KB's air arm but it wasn't... usually I'm not bombing bases if I don't have the chance to kill enemy ships or if I'm sure AA will be light but in this case I decided to do so... while we kill a number of precious Warhawks also KB loses 7 bombers so that wasn't worth it...

Status: offline 		with the loss of all four USN carriers and the loss of the Allied Navy in the DEI I fear this AAR is going to be a rather boring read for the next months ingame time if Mundy won't do anything special as I'm going to mop up the rest of the DEI now and then I've already achieved more than the Japanese actually achieved in WWII... goal will be to destroy more Allied shipping, more Allied land units and to build up defensive lines that will lead to even more enemy ships lost, destroying enemy land units will be more difficult on the defense, this would require counter landings... not much action so you'll mostly have to live with my rants I guess...

BANZAI! We destroy the enemy units at Bataan and yet again I have to wonder why the enemy has spread out his troops over Luzon... that way we can destroy them without suffering real losses and take base after base... recon reports some 60.000 troops at Manila so I estimate about 35.000 defending the city, many units only being suppport units... Mundy could have some 500 av more there to defend and inflict losses within my divisions winning time but those were all lost for no gain...

fully underestimated the strenght of that Dutch unit at Pontianak... have to bring 2 tank brigades to crack the defense...

Recon reports no less than 28 enemy units at Rabaul, troop strenght 65.000 which means Mundy is also reinforcing Burma... while not as dramatic as Rabaul I'm unsure if this will do him any good... he does seem to like forward defense though... seems like this was an empty transport going back to India without any escorts...

CT,

one suggestion that has come out in the last few years and you may or may not be aware:
play around with your bombing altitude. AA guns have 'holes' in their altitude coverage. different guns, different holes. But once you learn where they are it isn't that you won't have AA losses so much as you will have minimum loss for maximum number of hits. Once you figure it out for a specific gun, make note as it will always be there. I've worked out a few …


thanks for the info, wasn't aware of this. But do you really think the crap hitrate of the Kates was due to the attack altitude? The torp bombers were at default alt when they were going in and dropping torps is always at 200ft.

TB's no, as you note no issue as they always have final attack at 200 ft. I was referring to your LB (Sally's etc). I'm not sure you were using optimal altitudes at Singers or Palembang.

ooops! Have just broken the truce in China with this attack as one of my units was crossing the river into this base resulting in a shock attack. Glad nothing severe happened and I've apologized.


Do you have an HR on this? Must have missed it earlier above … what other HR's do you have in place?


cease fire in China until 1 Feb 42
no Allied strategic bombing of occupied Allied territory at any time, Allied strategic bombing only allowed on Japanese held territory of 12/7/41
no Japanese strat bombing in China
no Allied 4E bombers on naval attack below 10.000ft. Valid for ARMY 4Es, not valid for any Allied NAVY heavy bombers at any time
PP for restricted units crossing land borders like going from Manchuko into China or India into Burma
no restrictions for nightbombing concerning manpower, if either side goes out of whack concerning the IMO still broken tactical night bombing in the game this should be discussed during the game

Ah, thanks. sensible HR's ...

So your CV action: Wow.

You took a serious risk putting the KB so close to Rabaul. If the allies had been able to put LBA there, it could have been a perfect trap on the allied side. BUT, you clearly analyzed is correctly: they didn't (couldn't?) get the air assets in place and your gamble paid off HUGE!!!

JFB dream scenario: Jan 42 and the allies are without any CV's of consequence until Mar '43. Sure Hornet and Wasp and a couple of Brits, but you are now fully able to create 2 CV TF's that are unstoppable until Mar '43. WOW!!! And even a mini-KB out of CVL/CVE is pretty much self sufficient.







Yeah, carrier superiority a IJ commander usually only dreams of. Mundy had LBA at Rabaul but think about the date, there is no Allied LBA at this stage of the war KB has to be afraid of, especially as I've upped its strenght with the CVLs. I really didn't see it as a gamble, was more like a bluff on Mundy's side and I called it with a straight flush. No Allied carrier should go within 30 hexes of KB until mid/end 42 at the earliest, at least that's what I usually do as the Allied.

Agreed. And he paid the price in full ….

seems like Mundy tries to slip in another troop convoy to Rabaul... convoy was spotted last turn by one of our RO subs and was attacked three hexes off Rabaul by our Nells today... one transport is sunk with quite a number of troops, no combat squads lost so this must be another base force reinforcement... absolutely amazes me that he still tries to push troops into Rabaul, he must be convinced he can hold the base...

didn't expect to see the small convoy survive as I had nearly 80 bombers ready to attack but in the end we only sink one of the transports outright and the convoy will reach Rabaul tomorrow... I doubt the transports will get out again if not totally lucky but a good number of troops will most likely reach Rabaul instead of being sunk on the ships... 13 Nells attacked DD Stuart which is of course total waste...

B-17D coming from Port Moresby and I am shocked not to see any CAP above my convoy... looking at the position I could go nuts again as the convoy should have moved 5 hexes to Lae but only moved 4 (could move 6 and didn't have to refuel so that's just borked again)... means the 90 Zeroes on CAP at Lae are one hex to the West doing nothing...

when the B-17 couldn't hit anything Mundy's Banshees again perform excellent... never seen those low skilled Army divebombers really achieving something but he gets results like I do with highly skilled KB bomber pilots... the difference is that my Vals drop 250kg bombs that do **** and his bombers drop 1000lb bombs that sink freighters with one hit... all three freighters are so heavily damaged and burning that all will sink... this convoy brings base forces and engineers to Lae to build up the base... no imagine the convoy moving as ordered and the 90 Zeroes on CAP waiting for the enemy... had way too many screw ups in this campaign already, can live with wrong decisions of mine but things like this are just pissing me off...

the IJNAF couldn't keep that troop convoy from reaching Rabaul which is quite a shame considering the number of bombers around and the chances we had so we had to send in a surface combat group that was sinking the remainders of the convoy sitting at anchor at Rabaul... we still kill some troops but I guess parts of the base force(s) have reached Rabaul... has still cost the Allied three xAP, one xAK and DD Stuart plus the majority of the troops drowned...

I guess I've underestimated Ambon's coast defense in every campaign I've played and I've always forgot to include a couple of light cruisers in the amphib convoy... oh well, losing a couple of freighters isn't nice but I will just swallow it...

I've started recon over Port Blair a week ago or so and have not only discovered a strong ground presence there but also convoys going in and out... by now there are reported 13 units but only 10000 troops in total so we are talking mostly small base forces I guess... a cruiser squadron from Singapore was ordered to move North trying to catch some shipping... I'm not happy to engage the Royal Navy with their cruisers but thought it was worth a try and the first convoy we meet is still unloading, probably motorized support that is unloading really slow... PC Jumna looked like a small cruiser in the replay, it's a 5pt Indian PC...

would have loved to kill that minelayer, IIRC it's the fastest ship in the game going 40kn... that would explain why a couple of hundred IJN shells all missed the CM while Abdiel was hitting three of my heavy cruisers with 4inch shells doing no damage... no minefield was detected so the CM might have just arrived and we intervened with the minelaying...

xAP Lancashire, Shell hits 2, Torpedo hits 2, and is sunk

Allied ground losses:
Guns lost 106 (96 destroyed, 10 disabled)
Vehicles lost 29 (25 destroyed, 4 disabled)

and the last target is the worthiest one, two big xAP that seem to carry arty, AA or coast defense units as we kill no less than a hundred guns on the ships together with some more motorized support most likely... sending those cruisers North was definitely worth it as we killed 10 ships plus their loads for no damaged within our ships... it really amazes me as Mundy keeps trying to defend far forward like he does at Rabaul and Port Moresby... recon shows troops at Moulmein, lots of troops at Rangoon and he also pumps troops into Port Blair which only has a level 1 airfield at the moment but can be built up quite quickly if he has the engineers to do so...

probing bombardment... first I thought I'm going to wait for another two tank Rgts but have decided to deliberate attack tomorrow... 450 Dutch av does look more than it really is as it's just the sum of all those small units that aren't really combat worthy... I'm glad Mundy is defending at Batavia as I never do this as the Allied, as soon as the Japanese are attempting to land on Java I retreat all Dutch inf units into the mountains into prepared positions and I've had some really nice good results with them when 600+ av are holding a base in the mountains and the IJ only brings one or two divisions plus smaller units...

that was totally crazy as I-165 attacks another unescorted freighter on the surface missing with ALL the torps the sub still carried... was looking at the replay seeing like five times torps miss... WTF? the freighter is fully loaded with fuel so the ship will be dead and I-165 retires to Singapore to replenish...

PM has fighters on CAP so we had to send in the Zeroes on sweep first so our bombers can go in escorted... the Zeroes are coming from Lae and were quite unlucky as they should have shot up the P-40 badly but every burst from the P-40 was actually a kill for them so in the end we lose four fighters over PM to double the number of P-40... nearly all 24 airborne P-40 were damaged but 2/3 made it back to the base...

guess the tally today are four ships sunk (1 AMC 3 xAP) for 1 bomber lost... the sweep has cost us 4 Zeroes but we also claimed 7 Warhawks today... add in the troop losses aboard the ships and it's yet another costly mission to Port Moresby... haven't spotted any ships going to Rabaul lately...
