Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!!

[Capt. Harlock]

ORIGINAL: Sneer

timor is limited operation
what else ?

Don't waste posting space -- Raver is known to practice "strategic misdirection" (i.e. flat-out lies). Ask him about "Fortress Java" in his game with Luskan.

[Sneer]

I will gladly see him at timor - i have much more planes than space to use them and this area is close / very convinient / to my PI training area
if he wants to use darwin fortress area to fight against KB I can pick this gauntlet happilly
it will be good occasion to kill his remaining carriers
hellcats will not help him
it is time to stand and fight for him
he can't hide longer [8D] fight soon

[Sneer]

2 earlier damaged subs sunk ASW force
and two other hit by my high exp bombers
it is target practice on allied subs
don't be late Raverdave[:-]

21:31 loss over PM

[Raverdave]

Well do you care to give me a firm time that your KB will appear of the coast of Timor?   I thought not.   All bluster.

[Sneer]

TBF avenger seen in the middle of ocean 7.87
Raverdave gets frightened by my fast reaction and claims no invasion within weeks
[>:][>:][>:][>:]

[Raverdave]

Fast reaction ?  Hah !  It takes weeks and weeks to get an invasion sorted, just because I say I am starting the ball rolling now does not mean that you will see ships on the horizan tomorrow.

Any news coming from Timor?

[Sneer]

any
hundreds of bombers in the area running like mad in last months I don't oppose as I conserve my elite fighters for more important fights
quite a lot of subs at celebes straits - i regularly place hits from my level bombers - they can't sink them but certainly send them to base and HK groups hunts for them on their way
few conwoys noticed in pacific
avenger - certainly from carrier north of perth
i'm generally ready - any adjustment in my defences can be done within 2-3 days
from other news
i think within next 10 days i'll go for chungking again and try to lower forts to 0 with shock attack
it is even possible that final battle over the city can be done in this month
it would free 15+ art units some eng units and few tanks regiments as well as one southern area division not counting few hundreds highly experienced lavel bombers

if timor is going to be major area of operation I can only say it will be vary difficult to Raverdave - IMO it can be done with effort as 2nd or third theater - at least in 43 as china will be finished very soon there will be no offensive in india /burma/malaya unless Raverdave wants to face 25+ div force
so only aleutians / again his fleet is too weak / + cen pac + PM area + salomons - rather narrow opportunities and maybe that's why he decided to go with everything for timor but concentrated air force on japanese side is more than enough - especially I got quite a lot of TBs and long range cover during last 3 months. both sides have more planes than good bases - each side placing air units on timor will see them destroyed so by now it is pretty nice buffor area.
with current force concentration I feel rather safe
i can imagine at least two variants of more dangerous allied operations in this moment with one of the lower risk level for Dave than Timor
i will try to write more soon /turn has come/ or send on PM

[Sneer]

few turns passed it is 16th of August 43
2 days ago enemy cruisers raided koepang with little result
quite an intense sea traffic in the area

it is 5-6 days since i last saw anything else than thunderstorms over north OZ
it is too fast to claim that but weather model can be broken here to the level we have over china where are constant thunderstorms
patrols/ recon flies with reduced efficiency
strikes agaist other target than bases are rare
it would be totaly new quality and i spend time thinking how it can affect overall situation and strategy
we will see if next week will be with broken weather ....invasion will be interesting
i lost hunderds of planes over china due to weather /ops/
now Raverdave must face such difficulty

[Raverdave]

I have no difficultys to face.....except wondering if you will use your CVs to fight or if indeed you will hide.

[Sneer]

i'm sneaky
do you remember ?
i doubt you will se my CVs before you show where you are [:D]

[aztez]

The great CV duel at Timor has not begun yet? [>:][:D][:D]

[Sneer]

it will not be great duel because Ravrdave's forces are not great
let's say bigger battle [:D]

nothing more

thunderstorms again over north OZ /south dei [8D]

[aztez]

Oh, This is starting to smell like propaganda warfare [;)]

[Sneer]

nobody has better self control than me
i can even beat the one i see in the mirror everyday in the morning and he is a tough one [8D]

[Raverdave]

Propaganda is but a part of War [:)]

[Sneer]

tension builds up slowly
as in a good movie
it needs a little bit to show its full strenght
be patient Aztez
one of us is wrong and blood will cover defeated one

there is always possibility that winner will not be happy with price paid ....

[Sneer]

Chungking captured!!!!!!!
more news soon - need to finish turn first

let it be a good omen to mighty Empire before next struggle

[Sneer]

8/17/43
lot of action
fast transport intercepted
3 old japanes DDs sunk at lautem
enemy fleet seen NW of darwin carriers included - Raverdave would gladly fight there only 3 hexes from darwin
allied transport hit by mine at broome
sub warfare - 1 hit from asw planes and heavy damage to Harder - looks like I manage to kill more enemy subs than I loose to them

afternoon shock attack - i hoped not to miscalculate as my troops were far from max strenght but without 2 forts lost last time chungking proved weak
830ktroops 7.5k guns and 1150 vehicles assaulted
AV - 15.2k modified 9.8k / after shock x2 modifier - looks like we will never get known of 30% modifier's reason
enemy had adjusted 2.6k
3:1 at 1 fort and 239k enemy troops surrended

own losses 83k troops 700 guns

first day without thunderstorms
overcast today and in forecast

[pauk]

let me be the first one who congrats on great victory... Banzai!

did you followed how many victory points you've got for destroyed chungking units?

I can smell big land offensive in the India
