If anything I learned from your AAR is the Allies need to have invasions take place under LBA protection or projection of it. With the weight of 4e bombers, they stand a chance. Iwo was too far away from any LBA being used.
With you CV hurting, I would plan anything else under 4e bombers and, if possible, long range fighter protection. You can use the lower experienced fighters in back water bases gaining experience while your best are in the front lines.

If anything I learned from your AAR is the Allies need to have invasions take place under LBA protection or projection of it. With the weight of 4e bombers, they stand a chance. Iwo was too far away from any LBA being used.
I think the most important thing I've learned from this, and other AARs is how important it is to pry the Japanese out of the SRA as early as possible.
It's PzB's stockpiles of resources and oil that are allowing him to recoup the terrible losses Andy has inflicted on him and keep coming back for more.
This isn't a criticism of Andy's conduct of the war. By the time he was in a position to apply serious pressure in that direction, PzB had already controlled the SRA for two years or so and had enough resources and oil stockpiled to last him the remainder of the war. While attacking in that direction was still a valid approach, doing so with the strategic goal of denying PzB resources would have been senseless. After all, once PzB had enough, he had enough and it made little difference how large his surplus was.
As to Andy's decision to go for Iwo Jima, I agree that advancing under an LBA umbrella is optimal, but it was already getting so late in the game that going deep was really the best chance he had of getting back to a reasonable timetable. It was a gamble, but the payoff would have been huge. Considering the late date of the game at that point, I think it was worth the risk.
In the end, it wasn't the air battles that stalled the offensive. While it was expensive, Andy won them and got his troops ashore in pretty good shape. It's his inability to win the land battle against a couple thousand AVs sitting behind lvl 9 forts with a terrain bonus that really hurt him, and that's more a flaw in the LC model than Andy's tactics. I think that he could have put every division he had in the Pacific on that island, parked his fleet offshore and bombed it round the clock and it would still take him months and months to win the battle as it proved impossible to prevent PzB reinforced and resupplied it.
There was no way to stop the rush of small task forces and air transport that PzB used to reinforce and resupply the island. Even with complete control of the air and sea around Iwo Jima, they were still able to get through and I don't see what Andy could have done to stop them. In this game he's tried using big task forces to thwart such tactics, he's tried using lots of small task forces and he's tried using air cover. Nothing seems to work. As long as PzB has shipping to burn, which he does at this point in the game, he can afford to send ten supply ships on suicide supply runs to the island in order to allow one to get through. After all, he doesn't need his merchant marine for hauling resources or oil, so he can afford to burn them and that's what he's been doing.
With that in mind, it seems that the only sure way to prevent the Japanese player from reinforcing and resupplying an island in the inner defensive ring is to make sure that they don't have any supplies to send.
With you CV hurting, I would plan anything else under 4e bombers and, if possible, long range fighter protection. You can use the lower experienced fighters in back water bases gaining experience while your best are in the front lines.
I think everything of value is pretty much within range of 4e bombers now, isn't it?
I'd look for the highest point value targets that PzB can't easily reinforce, and attack them, no matter they are.
Off the top of my head, I'm thinking Shanghi. LBA could be brought to bear in a significant way. Secondary landings at Soochow and Hangchow can isolate the target from reinforcement by land and there is probably just enough time left in the game to starve it into submission before the game ends.
Hong Kong, while not as valuable in points, is also attractive for similar reasons.
If an attack on the HI is an absolute necessity from a game enjoyment point of view, I'd bite the bullet and dust off the Nagasaki plan that's been discussed here before.

Thanks I agree unfortuantely I am weaker than I was my carriers are in tatters again so I need to think long and hard about my next move
Then it should really be India and Indochina--you might be able to get some serious points from defeating large troop concentrations in Bombay and Karachi. Maybe a foray to mainland China under the protection of LBA. Just look where the VPs are that you can get. A strat bombing campaign from Amani if possible might also get some points.
How much of your LBA can you use in India?
RE: Losses
Interesting analysis LBA attrition of the Japanese is difficult to achieve if they wont stand and fight without SEAC (which I knew when I took on this game) it is very very hard to attrit Japanese LBA.
Think about how the campaign has worked out
1. Ltd attack to secure New Britain
2. Hydra offensive towards South NG
3. Expanded Hydra towards north NG after KB destroyed
4. Switch to CENTPAC and attacks on Marshalls and Marianas
5. Failure of Mariana Attack after USN pilot pool and Hellcat pool empties.
6. Switch to Celebes/Borneo
7. Exploitation towards PI - defeated
8. Opportunistic grab at Malaya turns into major offensive
9. SEA offensive towards Hue via Bankok with supporting amphib invasions (Draws large amount of Japanese forces out of Luzon)
10. Failure of small North Borneo offensive
11. CENTPAC towards Bonins - hung up on mountainous Iwo Jima - 2nd wipe out of USN and Hellcat pools - USAAF pilot pool exhausted as well
12. Second attempt at Marianas 3rd wipe out of USN and Hellcat pools decision to bypass and go for Luzon
13. SEA Armies land at Manila behind main line of resistance allowing northern Luzon to fall after a hard campaign.
14. Subsidiary attack on India
15. Capture of Ceylon and Madras leads to major Indian offensive by land so I dont need ships and can use LBA but PZB does not engage.
16. Okinawa too hard - hit Apanami instead 4th wipe out of USN and Hellcats.
A few points to note
a. Japan has lost more Reppus and Shindens that I recieve of Hellcats and Corsairs combined. I estimate he must be producing nearly 800 of each per month.......hence my concentration on Mitsibushi engines
b. In stock map you need to capture an AF to use LBA only the P38J and P51 have the range to escort raids to bases where the Japanese have to defend.
c. Unescorted heavy bombers are crucified by defending CAP no matter what altitude they are at
d. In stock Level 9 forts, terrain and the all or nothing nature of AF capture make attacking and capturing bases the alles took historically almost impossible.
e. Until quite recently PZB was ground attack training his fighters and I had no way to intervene - when I was in a position to intervene (from my bases in SEA) after I had paid the price to attrit his AF he cried foul (and to be fair he was correct to do so as I was being opportunitsitic)
So how exactly do I attrit his LBA ? He replaces them with Gd Attack Trained pilots faster than I can, he produces more frames than I do (Only P38J's or carrier air has the range as P51's arrive very late and I only get 5 Sqns of them), I cannot attack anything vital without AF's most of which are mountainous terrain guarded by enough force to stop an insta capture until suicidal ship captains can unload reinforcements
The only place I could possibly have went a different direction was from Borneo to the PI BUT that means taking on lots of supporting AF's with few LR Fighters and he still had masses of troops in the PI so I made the call to go with the line of least resistance - the right call perhaps not but attacking a PI that could have been reinforced AT WILL from the North trying to take places like Manila with all the forces he had available before he diverted them to SEA - NO CHANCE....
The ONLY reason I was able to take Luzon was because I attacked and took Appari 1st at the end of lengthy LOC and because PZB had moved a large portion of his forces to SEA to try and save Bankok/Camranh Bay....

I kmnow it's been mentioned many a time i've mentioned it before but this irks me immensely.
How on earth can it be justified that the Japanese can outproduce the US in airframes AND pilot quality/numbers of trained pilots[8|]

RE: Losses
I agree with your analysis.
You took over an game that was almost impossible to win in the amount of time available to you.
I think, in the absence of a series of major mistakes by PzB, you've achieved near the maximum that was possible.

RE: Losses
Being a reader in both threads i will not give any detailed information - but i think that Andys Strategy often was quite risky and sometimes it worked and sometimes not.
Sure, the japanese can outproduce the allied side, something that is not very realistic. On the other hand, this is a pdu-off-game and pzb had a very sucsessfull time (including India...) so his resources and capacity is different from history.
So, if we say the allies should get more planes (hellcats, hellcats hellcats) also the losses for allied ships should have a huge impact. To be honest, i think Andy is a slaughter, he does not care losses. Something the allied HQ and the politicans never had accepted. Nothing wrong for me, but if we ask about the japanese, we should also ask abut the allied esp. the americans. If they loose 20 CVE with 20.000 men because of "we have so much of em" they will kill General Mc-Andy.
In the original game we have way too much problems, the kamikaze-problem, the coordinate-problem, the übercap-problem, the fortifucation-problem, stacking-problem, etc... the list is very long.
but both players have done a great job. I love both aars and i am very interested in the end.

Don't tickle yourself with some moralist crap thinking we have some sort of obligation to help these people. We're there for our self-interest, and anything we do to be 'nice' should be considered a courtesy dweebespit

I agree with you here, though the fact that Japan outproduces the Allied in trained pilots is nothing to blame the game. It´s just a decision Andy made in not doing on map training while PzB is doing it big style. If Andy would have decided to do onmap training he would of course have more 80+ pilots than PzB just because he has more aircraft in sqadrons on the map and he wouldn´t lose as many pilots. But that is being taken care of in AE anyway.
The airframes are another story.

I gotta say i'm rather scared by these results....in my game with Trollelite things are going as bad as when Wollby was playing here on the allied side...
However Andy did what he could...and considering where he started, he did a great Job against a great opponent.

RE: Losses
Just for clarity not having a go in any way at a great opponent. PZB has done brilliantly and deserves the position he is in.
Re Hellcats - as I have said many times I am shorted over 3,000 from historical production some of which arrive as the NF variant which I have Ltd use of.
Re Pilots I agree I dont do on map pilot training and neither does PZB (more or less) now.
I am not happy about the losses I have taken but the fact is attacking the strength I have my losses have been remarkably light !!!
Lets look at it I have perfomed over 2 dozen contested amphib landings into the teeth of enemy LBA I haven't won all of them but I have won more than I have lost.
Yes I didn't always stop to consolidate but had I done so the next level would be massively reinforced.
e.g Malaya when my paras took Malacca I had to go for it whatever the cost because to have waited would have allowed PZB to get more men behind the forts.
This is the problem stopping to consolidate ends up allowing your opponent to dig in and prepare something that kills any offensive.

RE: Losses
Another turn passes I pressed on with the deliberate attack and got another 1:1 at Ananami and Lahore falls - another victory to the Lighthorse (with 20,000 supply !!!)
Rawalpindi and Ahmaband will fall quickly and then it is time to turn back and try to do something about the SE corner - Calcutta/DH after I take them and only then will it be time to turn on Bombay and begin the siege in earnest.
So far so good
I am trying a shock attack at Ananami next turn - my reasoning is PZB has brought in lots of combat power with lots of squads but not much in the way of support I want to keep him on the run - if I can take Ananami then the next phase can begin !!!

RE: Losses
Well today Anami fell the AF is open and I have 300,000 supply in the base (my units shed excess supply when base was captured)
So far so good I brought in 100plus recon birds and moved in a Marine F4U Sqn and a P40N Group.
I am going to bring in 2 full P47Groups short term.
My P51 Sqns are at 30 xp so they need a few weeks to rest so I will bring in shorter range fighters to do the damage and try to break PZB's industry I want to crucify every Mitsibushi factory I can find single mined concentration on one type of Industry to stop the unending Reppu and Shinden streams

So far so good I brought in 100plus recon birds and moved in a Marine F4U Sqn and a P40N Group.
I am going to bring in 2 full P47Groups short term.
My P51 Sqns are at 30 xp so they need a few weeks to rest so I will bring in shorter range fighters to do the damage and try to break PZB's industry I want to crucify every Mitsibushi factory I can find single mined concentration on one type of Industry to stop the unending Reppu and Shinden streams

RE: Losses
I am going to start moving some RAF Thud II's to support the USAAF and some SpitfireXV's.
For the battle that is about to begin I want to have ready to rotate
4 Sqns of experienced Spit XV's
3 Sqns of Thud II's
3 Groups of USAAF P47D's
These are all short range fighters but they can do the job.
P40N's will be relegated to rear are protection and some sent to India to replace the RAF Thuds and Spits.
USMC and USN Sqns will all be unloaded in Manila sorted into experience bands and the best retained with my remaining active carriers.
Untrained Sqns will go to Saigon, Singapore or other rear bases to sit and train at about 50%.
Basically the next 20 days will be a period of re organisation

RE: Losses
OK just checked my Aus NZ and RAF Pilot pools are in good shape and I have 13 Spit Sqns, 2 of Thud II's and 5 RNZAF F4U Sqns on map.
They will all start moving towards the PI.
I have lots of P40N's floating about and Kittyhawk III Sqns they will move to rear areas (they were only forward deplyed on range grounds)

RE: Losses
Picking off a few rear area bases and digging in elsewhere time to re organise and get my cripples through to the West Coast.
I need a few days puase to re organise before the strat bombiong resumes.
I do prefer having B29's going after strategic targets

RE: Losses
OK phase 1 - More Mitsibushi Engines getting hit
Thuds suffered heavily but the bombers got through.
I am still reorganisning a lot of B24's are going to India to free up AF space for B29's, P47's P51's Spits and P38's
I will need to send some supply to India to help keep em going but thats doable.
