Ashore on Java
Nice move, Luskan. Obviously Java is going to be very different this time, contrasted with last game's psychological maneuver / bald-faced lie about Java. How are you doing on capturing the necessary Oil and Resource bases?
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

RE: Ashore on Java
Apart from the bases on Java, and Palembang, I own them all. All of PNG/Solomons are mine. All of the SRA is mine - except for Singapore, Luzon, Java and a few smaller southern island chains.
Just have a look see how I cleaned up the tail end of PNG this turn
Unfortunately Raver force marched a single defending unit into Kragen which prevented my weak early attempt at hitting it. Of course, next turn I've got a division and 3 tank regiments there now so I expect to take the place Bad weather kept allied bombers either away or way off target.
Homan falls, and I'm thrilled at the fact that a: I own the place and b: once routed, Chinese units take years to recover. Those units won't be bothering me again for a while (because I'm going to kick them up the road t Sian).
Nasty bombardment attacks from Raver at Singapore - got to get my bombers hitting him hard enough to start to attrite supply/guns.

With dancing Bananas and Storm Troopers who needs BBs?
RE: Ashore on Java
Things are developing nicely with regards all the land combat around the place. No forts left at Naga, a chinese unit surrenders, rangoon falls, all my troops are ashore at kragen (haven't stormed it yet) without loosing a single ship (eh??? allied obmbers have reverted to their original hopelessness) and Gili Gili falls. I also take San Marcelino, bomb Singapore a little bit, and loose a PC boat to an aggressive sub captain.
The only downside is that Raver's spotted my sub picket near Palmyra and is going for it with a vengeance -two subs crippled in two turns. His hunter killer asw tactics are effective.

RE: Ashore on Java
*Yawn* Wake me up when Luskan decides to actually start moving......his attacks are sloppy and slow. java should have been taken well over a week ago. His attempts at Singapore are nothing short of pathetic ( I will still be there on the 15th of Feb). Bananana boys bumbles his way north in Burma.....should have had it closed off days ago. I'm not even sure that he knows what he is doing in Burma.
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

RE: Ashore on Java
Every time Raver mouths off something bad happens to him. This turn, Naga fell, all the troops there surrendered (because I'd cut them off) which leaves Manila wide open. Also this turn, I-20 puts a torp into the lex!!!!! [:D] Of course, looked like no damage and Raver sank the sub, but it is probably enough to convince him to stop messing around with his CVs and send them back to port by 1943.

RE: Ashore on Java
ORIGINAL: Raverdave
His attempts at Singapore are nothing short of pathetic ( I will still be there on the 15th of Feb).
I admire a man with the stones to throw down a challenge like that, but if I had to bet money I'd bet Luskan will have cleaned the place up well before. He's already bombarding away with over three weeks until your target date.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

RE: Ashore on Java
An emergency dash to the hospitol to have my son's appendix removed has slowed things down a tad (btw he is fine, they operated on him at 11pm and he was home by 2 pm the next day).
But to more important things......lex has float damage of 22 and if anything the hit with the torp is more a pain in the arse as she was going to be used in the defence of PM. [:(]

Patients in Australia are sent home the next day when they get their appendix is operated?[X(] In Austria you are kept in hospital for observation for five days!

What is there to observe? They have already taken out the thing that was causing the problem (appendix). [:'(]

RE: Ashore on Java
Australian doctors tend to think the best thing for any patient is not to be in a hospital where there are lots of sick people.
Having had a wrist reconstruction, I can understand that. If something goes wrong, I'll go back to hospital - if not, get me the hell out of there. I have only 1 real fear/phobia, and that is syringes/needles/canulas (sp) - there are a LOT of these in hospitals. Nothing worse in the whole world - period. (I hate spiders too but that is more a murderous urge rather than fear).
Raver is joking when he says those CVs were going to be used in the defence of PM. The lex was over at palmyra when she got torped. PM is a week away at best speed - and he would never telegraph his moves like that. Of course, PM has already fallen anyway

RE: Ashore on Java
Sometimes this game makes you smile. Sometimes this game is about luck (I've been unlucky so far this game). However my luck is back and things have evened out a bit since I lost that BB.
Port Moresby falls. The allied troops decide to retreat over the Owen stanleys to dobadura (no base there, just a green dot). I own Buna, so this is extremely unlikey I feel.
Last turn, one of my subs put a torp into the lex and was sunk for the trouble. Raver has done an amazing job at criplping/sinking my pacific sub fleet. So good I had to pull my subs back. I only had one left in the area - armed with a float plane (to report on enemy convoy movements - not to sink them) SS-19. Her commander, Namahara is a good enough bloke. He saw the damaged Lex in his periscope and put another torp into her - He copped a depth charge ofr his trouble, but was only minor damage. He then came back and put a SECOND torp into the Lex, and has got away scott free.
Of course, he now has no torpedoes so he's returning to base when he should be chasing her down and finishing the cripple. Raver running over that sub was 1000-1 chance - it wasn't on the shipping lane, and was the only sub (after it's sister ship got sunk last turn) within a 10 hex radius!
Lady Lex is on fire, with heavy damage, 3 torp hits . . . she might make Pearl . . . she might not. Just have to wait and see.

I have only 1 real fear/phobia,
Could that be the Super Weapon that Raver has hinted about. Of course I speak of the Raver-blade2000 - a gas turbine powered machine that automatically peels banannas?

A peeled banana is even more dangerous [:D]
Besides, Raver's "Super Weapon" is likely just the manifestation of his inferiority complex. That or he's discovered velcro.

I know the feeling of seeing one of your carriers being torped. But how´s the feeling if the same carrier gets torped two times in one turn???? [X(][X(][X(]
RE: Ashore on Java
No follow up from Raver on the Lex - not sure if she sank or not - I think my sub (1 torp left) spotted some dds very close to Pearl - but no Lex. Is more likely that Raver sent extra DD escorts from Pearl to shepherd the Lex home.

RE: Ashore on Java
Elation came to a close this turn - with the last supplies at fortress PM being unloaded. I now have a heavily defended springboard from which I can cut australia off from the US.
In other news, the CL Sumatra which tried so ineffectively to sink my transports was found and punished this turn.
Raver says the Lex is still just afloat - but does that means she's just afloat and sinking, or just afloat because she's about to be dry docked?
