Andy Mac ...... Revenge of the Allies

[Andy Mac]

Andaman Island is possible

Basically I do like re invading Malaya

1. Pride I dont like losing real estate [:D][:D]

The real reason

2. Subs dont work in PBEM the Japanese just are to organised with to many ASW 90+XP planes the Historic sub interdiction just DOES NOT WORK to shut down resource and oil the no 1 place for doing it is Malaya with its big harbour, lots of bases for LBA to attack from, good rail net, some local supply generation and a decent repair yard.

As a forward base for threatening Japan Malaya is unmatched if it can be taken late 43/early 44 - it is easier and less risky than trying the Marianas.

IF it can be taken......

If I go for it it will be everything plus the kitchen sink - no half measures.

Pauk is also raiding my convoys he damaged 3 or 4 AK's near Johnsotn Island  this turn the rest are fleeing for the nearest defended base I have B26/ 25J and B24's all looking for them

[Andy Mac]

Its the Seafires that are getting the job done as interceptors and CAP fighters that climb rate is worth its weight in GOLD (or Fuel in this case)
 
It really was my screwup not to notice they are running on fumes !!!
 

[Andy Mac]

Well its 1st blood to the japs Victorious eats lots of torps and goes down because some fucking USN pilots couldnt learn how to DITCH and not make my nice carrier unoperational

39 aircraft on Victorious after diversions from Yorktown so Victorious despite have 27 OPERATIONAL Seafires and about 12 Wildcats (from Yorktown) on deck couldnt laucnh to defend herself as she was made over the 15% above max level which is 38 ---- I lousy Wildcat to many ditch guys come DITCH

Extremely frustrating as I think I could have survived with my tanker and additional carriers 1 day away

Ah well cest la vie going to get drunk sometimes I hate mechanics in this game all it would have taken is one bright spark to kick one of the Wildcat pieces of junk over the side and I would have had 30 fighters in the air contesting todays battles

[Andy Mac]

p.s. not complaining its not a bug its just a bad mechanic *hic*
 
everything feels better after BEER

[Andy Mac]

In the cold light of day I am still incredibly pissed off about the loss of those Seafires and Victorious sometimes I despair of game mechanics.
 
I went from a carrier with 24 or 27 (I cannot remember) operational fighters with elite pilots to a floating coffin with 39 !!!!
 
Andy

[String]

How does this affect your burma op?

[Andy Mac]

Personally I am not sure I suspect Yorktown will go down as well the fuel issue is what killed me it was my own stupid fault
 
Assuming Hornet isnt quick enough to save Yorktown I am not sure
 
I would rather lose Yorktown than Victorious any day of the week

[Andy Mac]

Ok YORKTOWN WENT DOWN THE REST SHOULD MAKE IT OUT NOW THEY ARE REFUELED i AM PISSED OFF BUT SO BE IT TIME TO MAKLE PAUK PAY !!!!!

OK guys time to think through what next.
 
with the loss of those two carriers I would now need to sut down SWPAC in order to lauch the Burma op and I am not sure it is worth it.
 
He has 170,000 men at Mandalay so I have achieved the objective of stretching him out I just dont have the carrier power to do what needs to be done especially with the need to cover the Marshalls with carriers.
 
I think the next step needs to be a
 
1. CENTPAC offensive against the Marshalls
2. SWPAC moves to isolate Rabaul
3. SEAC keeps up the pressure on Mandalay.
 
I would prefer to land behind him but I jost dont think it will work

Quiet couple of turns I am starting to move FT TF's to Gili Gili and amphibs toi PH and Suva

I am short of ground forces for the assault on the Gilberts - 7 Divs are available 3 at Suva prepping for Maloep, 1 at PH/Palmyra and Baker prepping for Mili

I have 1 more but its not really available being tied to guarding my flanks at Narau and Nanomoe

[ny59giants]

I think us Armchair General/Admiral's need a screen shot of Burma and some more details on the force disposition over there. It looks like Mandalay is not going to fall with a head on attack. [:(]
Need to think about by-passing it for now, if possible.

[Andy Mac]

I will upload one tomorrow but I agree Mandalay is invulnerable he was able to reinforce quicker than I realised.
 
He now has 200k men in the line agaonst me.....
 
BUT
 
That creates opportunities elsewhere !!!!

[Andy Mac]

I have about 3 1/2 Divs in India that could be used to help the assault or land behind the lines I have not decided what or where to hit I am on a timetable so I need to get moving soon if I am to progress
 
The next major offensive will be at the Marshalls I need to spread Pauks troops out
 
Andy

[Andy Mac]

Pauk hits some APD's forces are gathering 10 days and I will be ready !!!

[Andy Mac]

Not really a lot to report all is quiet at present 10 days till Hellcats
 
Pauk just made a joke asking if I intend to use Hellcats on CVE's ---as though I could afford to I get 144 per month in a pdu game where Hellcat/Wildcats dont upgrade to corsairs ....
 
I fully expect to have Wildcats on CV's in 44 never mind Hellcats on CVE's !!!!!

[Andy Mac]

All quiet as I continue to assemble forces for operations in the Marshalls

ORIGINAL: Andy Mac

I have about 3 1/2 Divs in India that could be used to help the assault or land behind the lines I have not decided what or where to hit I am on a timetable so I need to get moving soon if I am to progress

Options are certainly available. Can't say too much detail my end in case Faber reads but you know the options available in due course...............

[Andy Mac]

Oh the options are a lot of fun Burma/Malaya/Sumatra are all possible Tavoy is a good target as its hard to cover
