Is Andy a Master Beta tester? Actually I was heavily invested in this with the other Japanese player. Don't worry about not being a good Japanese player, even the Japanese weren't good Japanese players.

True but I take their incompetence to a whole new level :)

PH would take a lot of shore bombardment, but it's been done, as Q-Ball can attest. You probably will have to leave a good chunk of the KB in the area to keep PH from getting resupplied or reinforced, though.

Cheers,
CB

I invaded Wake and was repulsed today
Guam is still lingering
Hilo fell which is good

But I am going to slow down a bit - I think I caught buckfever and went into a few places with insufficient force going to reign myself back in and focus on PI and Malaya for next few turns

Invaded 5 islands today no opposition small FT tF's did the job no problem

MALAYA

Army concentrating at mallaca Army Bombers and Av Support coming up just waiting for force to assemble

NORTH BORNEO

Disaster total screwup on my part Should take Mili tomorrow so I will hold Mili Sambas and Jesselton going to take a few days to rest and get my supply levels up before doing anything here

CELEBES

Kendari is mine he is keeping it suppressed at present but I have something that will change that shortly

CENTPAC

Guam still holds out will fall when I bring up BB TF's
Wake - Despite a full Div landing at Wake I didn't take the base may need to evac and come back later as its not worth having a Div stuck there
Hilo is mine so all the big island is mine waiting on supply convoys to arrive before next steps
Invaded Palmyra with an SNLF and got hung up going to evac and come back later
Christmas Island got ashore with an SNLF 2 more en route so will either fall this turn or in 3 - 4 days
Invading one of the other Hawaiian Islands with an SNLF going up against a Bn of the 298th
Baker island fell

So lots of small scale action a few invasions that I probably with hindsight shouldn't have tried (Wake had only one BB in support)

SWPAC
Assembling an invasion force to hit Rabaul - all North NG is mine no major issues just need to be carefull over his Carriers they are either here or in San Fran - I would prefer San Fran as I have lots of long range search in the area but I suspect they in NZ or Australian waters so Rabaul could be interesting - I have 2 KB TF's moving to support the invasion so this one at least will be properly mounted.

I think you got caught in one of the map's many "similar names confusion" traps. Mili is near Tarawa. Miri is the base on North Borneo. Just wait until you get to the Madang/Matang/Padang etc. trap!

Gun caliber can be estimated in two ways:
- divide the cm by 2.5
-benchmark on the inch sized guns you know and remember the equivalent cms : 16" ~ 40 , 14" ~ 35 , 8" ~ 20, 6" ~ 15 , 5" ~ 12.7 , 4" ~ 10 , 3" ~ 7.5 By this method, it is easy to guess that an 8.8cm gun is about 3.5" .

Observations on the Mod

It looks like basically Ironman Tier3 plus some extra goodies like the Liz heavy bomber

Its total utter bonkers

On the allied side extremely more capable navy and air but not massive difference at start to land units other than the emergency reinforcements are off map at start - so the allies get c 10 Divs extra

BUT I counted I have 28 Unrestricted Divs at start and can take 2k (4 - 5 Divs) out of Manchuria so in 2 months I can offset all the reinforcements allies get and still have 28 unrestricted division (+15 or so Unrestricted Indepenndent Bdes !!)

The economy is hypercharged and I have a lot of extra Air and naval assets as well too many to count in all honesty

I remember reading an old Soviet Joke about 3 Soviet Tank Generals drinking champagne in Paris after WW3 - one says to the other by the way who won the air war ??

Only if they would have surrendered!

That's what it feels like I have soooo many LCU's its beyond belief


Keep your ships out of ports if they are in range of 4Es and even 2Es if possible.

I think that the Chinese port is Wuchang, it is between Shanghai and Amoy. Bomb the port in an attempt to destroy the Chinese fuel so the Chinese HI won't produce as many supplies.

If you are not going for auto victory, leave at least one level 1 airbase in the kamikaze activation range. Capture it on 2 January, 1944 . . .

Supersize extra float plane groups and train them on Low Nav. These can be your kamikaze pilots. Get their experience level up as well.

Every pilot that you pull out as a trainee will save HI but it will still cost you supplies to train them. If you put your experts in Tracom, your pilots will train faster saving HI. You can pull out the expert fighter pilots later and put them into night fighters.

Mostly importantly, have FUN!

Andy, good thing that you are so good at the AI scripts; not sure you would have made it as a beta-tester.



So shoot me I underestimated their air power - not used to the mod also slightly astonished at what 1 heavy cruiser managed to achieve

What? Shoot you? NEVER!!!

As for this mod, never played it as I never understood it … I'm a simple person and need things explained using small words …

The problem is I simply don't know how bad the PH guns are v an invasion as I have never tried it am I looking at 50% sunk of invasion force or worse ??


It's not that bad...figure on losing 2-3 transports a day while you are unloading. So unload fast. Anarcho vs. me managed to get 9 divisions ashore in OK-ish shape. He did lose a bunch of transports, but you have to break a few eggs to get an omelet

My CD guns rarely hit bombarding warships; if you set-up an AKE and refueling station on the Big Island, you can do daily bombardments.


So maybe PH is possible then

Very possible. someone just did it in an AAR .. I forget who and what scen/mod they were using ...

No, the one that I am referring to is on the coast. It also has HI so it will attract Chinese fuel. The AI likes to send damaged subs there.

Status: offline 		Olorin's invasion of Pearl on Feb 5th, pdu off scenario 2 dababes type mod.

- PH is finally indaved, 28 days later than originally planned.
- The beachhead is 2300 AV strong and in relatively good condition. Ironically the only division with 100% prep was the one to be disrupted the most(65). Disablements are acceptable.
- Losses to CD guns and mines: 7 DMS & 20 AMc trying to clear mines, about 30 10 knot xAKL and a couple of AMC.
- BB Fuso hits a mine (29 fl dmg).
- KB launches a port attack and hits the two remaining BBs pretty hard. Was hoping to get the 5 subs also in port, but they were shielded by the BBs.
- Will probably need 4-5 days to consolidate the beachhead. Ise, Hyuga & Yamashiro will conduct daily bombardments.

Now that was an Ironman scen and maybe this scen AI doesn't use PH as a staging area as much ... I haven't done it since as I am not usually looking for a short game ...

So a few days have passed.

North Borneo continues to be a didaster I try to resupply he stops me with ight forces, and some nasty knife fights happening

I am concentrating in Clark Field and Malaca ready for the assault

Western A;eutians are mine

Rabaul is mine and PM should be hit tomorrow

A lot of effort on setting up resupply convoys and getting my logistics established and moving forward HQ's

North Borneo still a car crash - Sambas and Singkawang remain a pit but I have decided not to throw good money after bad for now and will concentrate elsewhere

Malaya now under control bomber bases established and starting the move to Singapore

Clark is under constant bombing and I am planning a second attack soon

PM is invested by 16th Div - the extra shore guns caught me by surprise at PM so I am marching over the Owen Stanleys other forces - a supply TF will move to resupply the whole Army in about 10 days

Control has been challenging on a laptop so next few turns back on my desktop will help me regain control I hope !!

Anyway situation continues to develop

Decided to try PH getting all the pieces into place will take time but going to try an invasion in a month or so

PM has been resupplied and reinforced and when my Div walking over the Owen Stanleys arrives will be ready to try an attack - the co op reinforced the base so should be a nice haul when I take it.

Clark has had 3 attacks each one reducing forts but relative AV remains nasty

Singapore 1st attack with Southern HQ in support range achieved 121 so that was good

130,000 troops at Singapore and 50,000 at PM will be a nice haul

Apart from that relatively quiet turns as I redeploy for the invasion of Pearl Harbour
