Status: offline 		Just a teaser until Raver sent me the turn.

In retrospect, I am wishing, wishing wishing that I'd had a good pearl harbour start to this game instead of the average 1 bb sunk I got.

The difference is in my willingness to send surface combatants toe to toe with allied ships in closed waters. Without 4 or 5 bbs (older sure - but still) I'd be willing to have a swing at places like noumea, colombo etc. Without knowing where most of the battlwagons are though, I don't know where I can find one or two all alone etc.

enjoy.

Status: offline 		Well......just done my first turn with Luskan in some months now.........first off it took me about half an hour to remember what my password was, and then after looking at what had been sunk, I dearly wish that I had not remembered it. I am now trying to remember why I have lost 4 USN CVs.........going to have to read back through this AAR to find out what stupid move I have done. In my two other PBEMs I have only lost two CVs and they were both RN CV.

@ Capt. Harlock Nope it is March'43. Lots of nice new aircraft coming online.

Also by this stage not only are all the rear bases choc-full of supplies and fuel, but so are the forward bases.

Luskan is going to get his head handed to him on a nice big shiny silver platter.

Perhaps the reason for the error is that the bananna is low on beer? It explains much in my life...

Status: offline 		Supply situation eh? That would constitute a vast breach of operational security. But here is a bit of info on my supply in the past.

Well there have been 4 different supply disasters in this game so far, and now I'm aware of them they won't happen again in any other wars I happen to fight. Fortunately for me, if I loose a war here I can restart with the benefit of hindsight.

Supply problem 1.

As a result of my opening all out assault, combined with my opening expansion of certain key industries (mainly armament industries) by Feb 42 there were real forward supply problems. Ships that should have been hauling supply forward from day one (for bases I hadn't taken yet) were hauling troops forwards instead. This limited my forward airbase construction and squadron deployment schedules - not so much in the SRA but on the bay of Bengal, and in the Pacific I didn't have the supply for big airbases full of betties. In the pacific Raver was careful not to mess with me (he should have gone for pacific bases early on - instead of sending his CV's to swat at Kwajalein (cost him CVs) later in the game when I had corrected this error. If I'd solved this earlier, I would have scalped Raver's RN BBs, rather than just torpedoing a few and have them retire (a squadron of betties from bangkok IRC - instead of 4 squadrons of betties and some nells from all the Bay bases.).

Supply Issue 2.

When Raver upgraded to patches without telling me, he was a version ahead. This is a problem - if the game versions don't match up, for some reason jap transports can't load OIL!!!! Turn after turn I wasted with this bug, unable to load oil to get it home to make more supply and fuel. Happened several times before we figured it out. Unfortunately this crippled the home economy 3 (!) times.

Supply Issue 3. As a result of (2), there was not enough supply anywhere but China for my existing troops for almost 4 months of gameplay. This was a small contributing factor to my reluctance to invade Indonesia (the major factor was Raver's lies about having defenders lined up 1000 wide and 100 deep). Without Indonesia, again, less oil and resource to power my economy. Even if Raver had 1 000 000 men defending indonesia, the Jap player should go in with teeth bared regardless. This one really hurt my chances of winning.

Supply Issues 4. As a result of 2, then 3, Issue 4 was a lack of fuel at forward bases in the later game. More than a few of you asked: after Raver lost a CV at Kwaj, and had Enterprise damaged - why didn't you send everything in the arsenal out to Johnson Island to catch her? If I'd sent all my CVs, I would have outnumbered Raver 3 to 1 and crushed his entire CV fleet, instead of sinking 1 allied CV and loosing 3 of my own (bringing the totals to 2 allied sunk for 3 japs). I got lucky later evening this out a little - sure - but why didn't I send everything?

Of course I said that this was my reserve carrier fleet. Not actually true. They were my reserves, but when Raver ran into betties at Kwaj the two CV taskforces I had were sitting side by side in the same port. Unfortunately 1 was out of fuel and there was no more at the port because of the massive lack of forward fuel . . . the other taskforce had fuelled up a turn before - so was ordered to proceed independantly. We all know how that turned out!

Raver bombing oil dumps and things - has not affected my supplies one bit. My supply nightmares are born of my own mistakes and 1 irritating game bug that I was very slow to figure out (just get the patch you idiot!).

As for now, Home island supply is very well looked after - however a few over-effective allied bombing raids will end that. China is great too - elsewhere . . . that's classified.

I wish you all the best mate !
unfortunatly, we are battling one of the finest witp players on earth and we need to be hard as krupp-stahl, tough as leather and smart like a desert-fox

while waiting for another turn of the way-toooo-sloooowwwww banana boy, you may want to post what you think what his biggest/costly errors in your game were.

I had Luskan coming up with a few CA's, CL's and DD's near Suva, bombing Suva base. planes were removed . At Nandi I had a VSMB squadron there...he lost 1 CA and I crippled another CA. the cripple is now at Noumea and I pounded the ship to 99 SYS imho. very funny.

your impressions ?

Status: offline 		Luskan's two big mistakes were as follows:-

First...he fell for the trap of being taken in by my ...er..."mis-information" reagrding what I was going to do in the DEI, rather than actually doing recon to find out the truth....this cost him about three months which gave me the time to build up PNG and North Australia.

Second mistake follows from the first....failing to take PM.....this is vital as the jap player as it stalls the allies who have to first re-take PM before they move forward.

Also he should have taken Akyab....this base is now a major pain in his arse

Oliver Heindorf what version of the game are you currently running?

the last official version : 1.6, Sir Raver.

reading through the beta threads doenst increase my motivation using them at all, so I decided to stick with the official matrix stuff.



Ah, Akyab. Luskan took it here but only after he took awful losses. about 8 transports are gone there and one Brigade was not enough, I ripped them apart there...another brigade went ini...bang. he got it. but only after he lost 8+ transports and same number damaged. some mines here and there do wonders

He took out 7 of my planes on the ground, but no pilots.

He lost 14 planes - and probably 10 pilots ;).
