Don't bother with a response. I'm abandoning observing this AAR.

Good Luck!

Why did he even bother reading if he did not like what he saw? [&:]

I wish I was as confident as him that I had the game won hands down.

From first glance it may seem like you have it won hands down. IMHO, you've done the one thing that can forestall an immediate defeat for the Japanese. You've knocked him back, and kept him off ballance. The only thing that can prevent the Allies from striking back is undercutting their assembly areas.

RUPD3658 · Post by **RUPD3658** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 6:45 pm

Onime: We agreed at the start that we would override the 1943 auto victory so that game is going at least to 44. Even with this I may not be able to maintain the 4:1 VP ratio needed (currently 4.22:1) due to air losses. Most important thing is we are both having fun.

I think the moon has less craters on the whole thing that what PM has now.[:D]
Once those groups get their experince level up to over 75, someone will have his own "Death Star" to shut down bases.
I know that this is a joint AAR, but I wish I knew what each of you were planning outside of the two seiges on the mainland.

i can see why you would think i'm timid, considering in an email your advice for my besiege troops at Chungking was to launch a shock attack against 300,000 japanese troops. So against those standards...yeah i guess i am timid.

I was making that suggestion based upon the combat reports that RUPODXNHYT1497384 posted at the time showing him making a bombardment attack with a force 1/20th the size of yours.

If you want to include the contents of previously "private" e-mails maybe I should also include your pathetic deployment of submarines in the Central Pacific. [:-]

Shall I?

Your call.

Came within a hair of 1:1 odds at Karachi. Not bad against level 9 forts. The naval bombardment really helped. The fort level was lowered by the engineers

I replaced (shot) a few commanders and will try again.

I think somebody asked before, but what is the experience of all those ships that bombarded Karachi? Did you just night bombardments or also day time bombardments (requires full speed instead of mission speed, iirc)? Starting somewhere in the low/mid 70ies, I'd expect your BBs and CAs to be well into the 80ies (at night) by now...

RUPD3658 · Post by **RUPD3658** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 1:34 pm

Bombardments were done both day and night with all ships set to cruise speed to conserve fuel. Exp is in the high 70s-80s for most ships but the sys damage is in the teens to 20s too. 4 1/2 of constant bombardments will do that. The surface navy is going to spend a few months in the yard when this is done.

Fuel was the biggest problem. I had to send tons of fuel to keep the force supplied and even had to stop a few times due to shortages. Biggest pain was when I disbanded about 200 transports at Chandpur to move troops and almost all the fuel from Bombay move overland to Chandpur![:@]

Karachi fell. When I have more time I will write an in depth summery of the Indian campaign.

27 new guns showed up at Chungking. Strange.
