Aussie Affair III - This time its personal!

[pauk]

Wait guys, Banana boy and Raver didn't even started yet... few more turns and you will all falling down with from the chair[:D]

Luskan, 30 planes lost at PH is average result - i think this was introduced in one of earlier patches...

As for the Boise....well... sorry to say that this is is also common result[8|].. you are not the first one...

[2ndACR]

Yep, everyone knows that Boise was re-fitted in a earlier patch to have photons and force fields.[:D] I hunt Boise down with baby KB everytime. I get her most of the time too. Forget about taking her on with surface ships. I hate that blasted ship.

hehe very true, Luskan is Boised poised becasue against me, he even lost 1 CA & 3 DD's and a 4th DD got away with damage. Of course, Boise was lost but in return of a CA and 3 DD's [:'(]...

[Nemo121]

Aye, Boise a 2 CA committment in my games. And even then sometimes a daitai of Nells is needed to finish the damned ship off. The best way to kill the Boise is to destroy it from the air. I destroyed it and all it sister ships at PH in a couple of weeks of aerial attacks. Cost me a lot of good pilots but saved me some even more irreplaceable CLs and CAs.

Sometimes the best way to fight a certain ship is to just approach it from a different angle.

[String]

Well, she's a Brooklyn class CL. Basically a CA with CL guns. And lots of good CL guns btw.

Operation Deviation - almost total failure. My best surface combat admirals let me down - I intercepted all six of my targets - however I only nailed 1 of them, let three of them escape without damage, and the two lone CL targets Boise and Tromp king hit me. The tally is 4 destroyers already sunk, 4 more sinking (won't float long enough for Raver's air crews to finish them), 3 destroyers crippled and about to be sunk by dutch pilots, and 2 destroyers with a chance of surviving. All up 11 destroyers - gone on turn 1. Not to mention two shattered CLs that won't make it back alive.

Operation Deviation was supposed to make Raver so mad at loosing all his surface forces, that he would send in PoW and Repulse - hopefully to Kuching or Khota Bharu and that would be the end of that (I don't mind revealing this part of the plan because it ain't gonna happen now!!!!!!!). Christ - he may still show up and I'd loose 4 BBs to his 1 damaged. grrrrr [:@]

Raver is still luckier than he has any right to be.

My sympathies -- I remember one game of Pacific War where my PH strike went in beautifully, except that none of the many bomb and torpedo hits I obtained were critical. The BB's were repaired in three or four months, and that set the tone for the rest of the game. Raver is indeed lucky, but I think the results against Boise are fairly realistic. It's useful to remember that she was actually a heavy cruiser with 6" guns, and lots of them. Once the Long Lances miss, the Boise outranged any of your IJN guns, and she was theoretically capable of squirting out two shells a second.

The best laid plans of mice and bananas !   Luskan was given a huge free swing on the first turn and he muffed it.  He had a chance to recover on turn two, and guess what?   He muffed it a second time !    Little does he know that he has left a wide gap in his lines which will be suitable exploited in the near future.    Ratbrain is right about Pearl Harbour….from the Japanese POV it is better to damage a lot more ships rather than sink them as it the presents a huge resource drain for the US repair facilities on the west coast.  Not only that but by having all of the repair yards choked with broke ships, it impacts on the ability to do ship upgrades.
 
China is quite and so far there are no signs of any moves towards a fast rush for Burma
 
 
 I wonder if I can bluff him in Java a second time round?  

[Andy Mac]

Ohhh that would be evil even Luskan wouldnt fall for THAT bluff twice you gloated to much the first time round [:D][:D][:D]

[Luskan]

Java is already mine.  Wouldn't worry about whatever Raver says in the meantime.  I also love it when he talks about the Japanese POV . . . if only he'd ever played the japs he'd be able to talk about it with any credibility!
 
He is right about muffing the first strike . . . and the second unfortunately.
 
I've got a different strategy in China - storming over the Chinese didn't work last time.  This time I'm going to be careful (and unstoppable) by over preparing every battle, stacking the odds way in my favour.
 
Boise . . . disappeared on turn 2.  Raver's sent her due east probably - in which case she'll get picked up further out.
 
Of course, my dismal performance has excited a raft of opponents eager to get a piece of my banana.

Gee they write some crap on the back of wine bottles, listen to this............." Following fermentation this wine underwent oak maturation, resulting in a soft and round wine with good length of flavour."     Now fellow readers, I ask you, how the fluck to you measure a "good length of flavour" ??????   These wine companies must hire the biggest ponce that they can find to write this crap......Oooo wait a second......I just remembered that banana boy works for one of these types of companys.  Are you a ponce Luskan?   ( Damn this is a good drop of wine *hic*)

The woman who wrote that label (most of the labels on wine in Australia in fact) is hot, so she gets away with it.

How hot is she? Got a pic?[:D]

My money is on the Aussie who lives just south of Melbourne!

I think Banana boy's plan was alittle ambitious. It seems he was counting on the Allied surface units to just roll over and sink when the lookout shouts "many strange ships sighted port side...about 25,000 yards at 285 degrees closing fast!!!!!". Captain announces..."all hands abandon ship, the Japs got the drop on us...no sense in fighting on!"[:D][:D][:D]

Hey Dave, hows life in the weekend Navy? Get to drive any fast boats or fire any large weapons? Say hello to the Wife unit and the kids, Kim and I wish you all well!

G'day Mark VII ! Yup Wife Unit Mk 1 is doing fine. We don't have any weapons in Coast Guard as we are here to save lives and educate people about safe boating. However on the my local boat we can get 40 knots out of here, not bad for a 22 year old shark cat [:)]


Please pass on all my best to your Wife Unit and give the pet units a pat on the head.

[Luskan]

Raver needs to stop yapping on the forum and send me a turn.

I've got leave from work (at last).  I've had two days off this week, having friday and monday off, spending tuesday with work people at the track (melbourne cup) before I have to get back into it.
 
Rather than relaxing I'm sitting here agonising about turns that people haven't sent me yet!
 
Sad isn't it?

[Raverdave]

Well bollockchops, unlike you I have to work..........which what I am doing right now.
