Andy Mac v PZB ....The Allies Fight Back
Moderators: wdolson, Don Bowen, mogami
RE: MALAYA
OK an interesting turn PZB mined the Malacca Straight last night and the FT TF with 37th Inf Div on board ran smack into it a DD hit a mine and then a sqn of betties torp one whole TF turned for home !!!
The paras land and sieze Malacca but without the follow on Infantry from the FT TF the will be on their own for 24 hours at least 50 Long Range P38's flew in the provide cover fat the AF
Singapore is hit hard by Carrier Air and Superforts successive waves of Bombers destroy the AF and most the aircraft there
Basically its job done the part and AF at Singapore is neutralsised and Malacca is siezed.
Japanese surface warships are damaged and maybe sank overall a successfull turn certainly keeps the operation within mission parameters we go on !!!!

RE: MALAYA
Follow on turn my TF's arrive at Malacca at Midnight and unloading will commence tommorow
Jap surface TF of 3 DD's tries to get in amongst the transports but runs into Iowa
PZB has scattered his ships from Singapore Port but most of my bombers were on AF attack as I MUST ensure that Singapore AF is closed and kept closed !!!
No counter invasion of Malacca by Para so my Army should begin to unload in peace tomorrow.
I now have c 60 P38's, 20 P40N's and 16 Mosquito Recon Birds at Malacca so the port should be protected from High Altitude Kamis ----my ships at sea will need to take there chances
Carrier air is going after the fleeing transports and ships from Singapore hopefully we wil take em out
So far so good I am reaonably content

[:@] I think PZB has left for his 10 day holiday so no turn for a while
RE: MALAYA
So far so good Andy. I was a bit worried about the strait being mined but didnt seem to hurt you that much. As soon as you get 2E bombers based there Sings is in real trouble.
Another thing you might want to think about with Sings is the point value its worth to Pzb. Also if you could make the harbor safe, it would give you a nice little repair yard to repair ships up to cruiser size.

RE: MALAYA
I figure PZB will think that I will head to Singapore direct.
Actually I am going to secure the AF's I need and bring in supply and stock Malaya to be the arsenal for the push on Japan.
When he returns form Holiday I will brief everone about my new 'cunning' plans !!!!!

RE: MALAYA
A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call is a weasel?

So cunning it could have been thought up by the Professor of Applied Weaselness at Oxford University
But is probably borderline in terms of sanity so..........it may not go ahead but I will enjoy speculating about it.
p.s. I am unilaterally reducing my max CAP % to 50% as well as applying my previously agreed stacking limits in this game and in my game against Simon - others may follow after I assess the impact on those two games.
Chez and Pauk will have to wait until I figure out if this fixes the UBER CAP problem

p.s not wait for turns obviosly just those games are at non critical stages

I'm looking forward to seeing those results. Tis a shame that we have to do it this way to fix something that should have been addressed some time ago.

RE: MALAYA
Well something has changed that much is obvious.
Intrepid ate a torpedo from a night bombing Grace !!!!
Damage is serious but not critical
I have 2 Australian Divs plus 1st Corsp HQ and 3 Armoured regts ashore at Malacca in good shape as the unloaded over a port.
Add to that plenty of support and a convoy approaching with armour and support troops and all is well in the West Coast.
A new TF is approaching Singapore with 2 more Divs I am tempted to land them at Khota Baru and sieze the large AF there question is the disruption from an assault landing worth the acceleration of the Malayan conquest or should I just funnel through the port I control.
Any thoughts ?

RE: MALAYA
Port. You must preserve your forces from amphibious landing. Plus with the road that Malaya has, you lose only two or three days.
Not worth IMO

RE: MALAYA
Aye I must admit I agree I am sending the initial force south towards Johore 2 Divs backed by 1 armoured regt (1 Div is 100% prepped for Johore the other is now at 5% - I hedged my bets prep points wise in case I had to assault land somewhere)
2 Armoured Regts will head west and be backed by follow on waves will head West to secure while a probe will head north.
I have about 70 Land Based Fighters at Malacca with a PBY Sqn and a recon Sqn so my carriers can begin to pull out.

RE: MALAYA
Today the allies got caught and caught good
1stly a supply convoy got mauled as its escorting carriers remained in Darwin Harbour....Port Admiral will be shot as apparently the crew of the Tico had a bar brawl with 3rd NZ Div which delayed her sailing by 24 hours [:@][:@][:@]
And then my CVE's miss the rendevous by 60 miles [&:][&:] leaving a convoy to get mangled by LBA
It was bound to happen at some stage this convoy had the aviation regt and base forces on board most should make it to harbour but its irritating as hell !!!
