Hi,

My first PBEM against: IrrGang , and also my first PBEM ever. I am fairly newbie, having played 1 month as South East Commander ;) But I played nearly the Full war in charge of Malaya/ABDA/China in PacWar :p

We are playing Scen 15. I will have the great role of the allied punchbag ;)

Nothing really special about house rules, we just together agreed that the game isn't suit to depict Japanese-Russian conflict so we keep still on this front, No US movement in Pacific, No Japanese landing West of Singapour, Singapour is fair game, really, just come in, please....

The only peculiarity is that I asked my brother for a joint Allied Command, I am in charge of the ABDA, India, South East Asia and China and he take care of Australia, USA and Solomon, until things get really on and I got back the Aussies...

From the start I have the very historical fighting over the use of combined asset and especially Philippines defense, and instantly dubbed my bros Mac Jarthur after his : " I will keep all my ships and subs in Manilla, he wont hurt them there as he will have too many things to bomb first". I made some comment about Subs being fairly useless fighting invasion from open decked dry docks... But he assume his decision with a very MC way ;) Funny thing is he get it right :p

The CW strategy is simple: FIGHT, I am planning to mass in Burma near Rangoon, Fight for Singapour, Fight for DEI. Every RN ships are doomed to die in combat bringing as many japaneses as they can with them. CHina will be used for intensive city bombing ASAP ( in fact from turn 1, except japanese IL4 are afraid of the dark and refuse to bomb Hanoï :( ) US B17 from Clark are aiming at a psychological first blood by targeting the Oil in Tienan but they cannot find the target either....

I apologize to WITPDude for greatly taking on his example for my AAR format...

This one come from the blue, the devious air assault was somewhat tricked by the astute redeploiment of an I-16 squadron, it exact quite a toll on the unescorted transport. Too bad they didn't turn back as they should have... In fact checking the actual intel I see no loss to thoses squadrons wich is weird as I remember seeing something about air combat during turn.. Perhaps my damn eyes... All in all they are now stuck deep behind my lines with a 2 full chinese corps and a cavalry unit ready to march in and kill them... Too bad :p

----

Kodak moment of the joint command:

Gen Mac-Jarthur "Ok,I have ordered my ships to bombard Jolo".
Admiral Van Nathman "Some of your ships ? wich ones ?"
MJ " My two CL, the Houston and the other..."
Adm VN " The Houston ? but it is my command, they are ABDA, in fact they are the full A in ABDA !!!"
MJ " Come on, cant I have some ships to play with ?"
Adm VN " You got all the freaking US Navy !!!"
MJ "Ok, ok, I guess...."

---

My devious opponent planned many landing behind our bases, NW of Naga, and S of Khota Baru... Probably aiming to isolate us.. Too bad for the KB landing but POW battle group is right there and pretty angry... Better aim at those that the 4 BB and XXX CL wainting for us in Khota :)

Also I started ordering a massive regrouping of ABDA forces in Tarakan. ML are planned operation in straits too... As naming operation seems the thrill I named the ABDA counter-attack "Operation Frenzied Flying Ducthmen", hope I dont turn up with ghost ships :(

And THAT is the event of the day, of the year even. The lone Boise make a dash approach and engage in several round a fairly larger japanese forces. Sailing fiercely he dodge many torpedo attack and deliver flaming death on Japanese light ships... Even his counterpart take some serious beating. Thoses heroes doesnt depart the battlefield without emptying their magazine. His hull marked by the impact of many japanese guns he sunk again in the night... but only to reappear later. The myth of the "Flying Dutchman" is reborn .. except that this time it is not so dutch.

Ok, this one nearly make me cry. I was assuming that I will only confront a small Japanese AK force and found myself pitted against 4 Battleships :( We fought valiantly, except the silly gun director of the POW that hammer a PG with full volley while being slammed by 4 japanese BB... DUH
Losses weren't too big and I had confidence in the British ships survivability... Especially so close of a Shipyard. But it was clear I will not be able to battle against thoses landings...

Ok as summary not a so bad turn. Quite a good one in fact. Except for the butchering of the Force Z. But the ABDA CL have a free reign in Jolo area... Except for the now usable Size 4 airfield there... All effort will be commited to have this base unusable and closed. 1st Priority.

Also major troups movement start in West coast and counter-attack is also planned in China. Philippines PT flotilla will also try to interrupt Legaspi landing and get at the CS there. Dutch forces covering Menado are also called back North to Jolo area. Tarakan is building as a massive ( for the ABDA ;) ) concentration of troups and ships. Admiral Doorman is appointed to command half the cruiser while a brilliant American Surface officier take in charge the other group.
