Status: offline 		Hi i'm deaniks and I would say i'm a intermite player at witp and this is my first time doing an arr for a game that's already in progress in march of 42 I am playing the allied side and so far things are not looking so well for me its not hopeless yet but it can change depending on what my opponent decides to go we are also using the RA mod.
House rules;
1)No CV Hunting turn 1
2)Paratroopers; Free to use fragments to capture small island bases but have to bring the whole unit if you are using it elsewhere , either in 1 turn or in the following turns if you cant bring the whole unit.
3)Units cutting retreat must be a realistic size of brigade or above ; What does cutting retreat mean = surrounding a hex completely with units and no direction to escape.
4)All PT Boats in the same hex must be in the same task force
5)No Crossing Malacca strait with surface ships until Japan controls Singapore
6)Fighter altitude limit 20k until 06/42 , 25k 06/42-01/43 , 30k 43-44 , 35k 44-45 , 40k 45-46
7)No night strat bombing until 44
8. No crossing borders without paying the pp costs for moving units of restricted commands
9) exceptions: American units can move freely in Canada, and Thai units may move freely in Burma and Malaya.
10) restricted units may move 3 tiles across national borders before paying PPs.

Status: offline 		I would suggest teaming up the Hermes with the Charlotte. Between them you have a decent carrier but do not slow down your fast carriers.

I would not move any American carriers to support India. If the KB is there, they could be sunk. They are better off training their air crews and/or raiding fast then getting out.

Status: offline 		What are your defensive plans for India proper? I'd also be wary of sending BBs, especially slow British BBs, against any invasion force if its covered by carriers, unless you have nearby strong airfields and numerous planes to provide LRCAP. Slow BBs are torpedo magnets for Japanese bombers.

As I have read your opponent's AAR up to this point, I will refrain from making any comments on the actual situation for awhile, but I will stop reading your opponents AAR so I can comment here more freely in the future.

Status: offline 		Be sure to constantly check your sigint report as it will usually show what bases Japanese troops are planning for; in my game, I got early info on landings at Ceylon (which is a hopeless case early on so best to just evacuate what you can while having some troops to slow him down in the cities) as well as at Vizagapatnum. I think your line is good, as you should be trying to avoid fighting in clear hexes and making him fight in jungles and rough terrain where you have numerous forts. It goes without saying that you should already have base units and engineers in strategic locations building up forts and airbases, while avoiding building up airbases in places he will probably take. In my game I had an early defensive line like in your picture and then planned a defensive line further in more parallel to Bombay (both lines were mostly composed of rough terrain that would be hard for Japanese forces to take against decent defensive forces). Always pay attention to the rail lines and where the major junctions are, as you don't want your opponent to take them and cut your ability to rail troops around.

Are you planning to send reinforcements from the USA?

Also, check up on the line he must cross to trigger emergency reinforcements for you in India.

Status: offline 		In my game of RA, this was the ultimate line I was able to hold in India, but this was because my opponent never tried any landing moves that seriously stressed my ability to setup defensive positions in time to meet his forces. I brought in a few US divisions, tank regiments, and base units though to help (relatively early thanks to sigint pointing to my opponent going after India), which was absolutely important. Can never have enough engineers to build defenses.

as of now nothing happening still happening but i got a sig int that the 10th artillery reg was planning for an attack on Perth idk if this to throw me off from his real ambitions in India or this is a attack but like I said before I am leaving at least two divs behind in Aussie to hold back what ever he might throw into there and move at least 3 divs to India i also think I will move a couple of air groups from Aussie to India as well to strength its air deference

Status: offline 		Too late now, but it's a good idea to send a USAAF fighter group and bomber group to Cape Town right away, like Dec 8th. Also some Marine Planes to put on RN CVs. British really need those US Air Pools in India.

It takes about 2 1/2 months to transit fully from Cape Town including the sail, but that gets those US Airgroups to Bombay in early to mid-Feb

Status: offline 		If you can manage it, try to get the US air wings that start in China into India, even if only one plane from each, as you can reinforce in India and upgrade to good planes with deep pools. I'm thinking of the 27-plane units. Also try to use air transport to extract some of the USA CAF engineer base units that spawn in China potentially. Not sure if they are there yet.

Status: offline 		You are thinking of the Chinese mercenaries called the AVG. They started at Tougoo in Burma. They fly a Swedish version of the P-40B, which is a H-81 in the game. One of those pilots later attacked over 40 enemy fighters, shooting down at least 5 of them and based on the bomber's crews reports, that pilot was awarded THE Medal.

Status: offline 		Yes, those ones; and in my game they are my top performing units by far, though I have a few other USAF units that approach them in kills. Regardless, they get access to US pools and pilots. Forgive the conditions at the moment, they will be reinforced by lots of air support soon.

They are the best fighter units the Allies have at start; decent pilots, in a good spot.

You also want to convert out before all the H-81s are lost, because the Chinese Air Units can use those planes....and that's the only decent plane they get for some time
