Aussie Affair III - This time its personal!

[Luskan]

I haven't got enough helens or helen production, so i'll be sticking with massed sallies for the moment.  Raver will go to massed 4E raids, but he won't do it from China for the same reasons they couldn't in real life.
 
Quieter turns as thunderstorms world wide hamper air battles.  Raver has run out of ships in the Pacific - so I'm rotating some ships home for R & R.  I have made the decision to evacuate the remaining troops from Tarawa before they are destroyed - I can garrison Makin and Apanama with them while my heavy units race in.

Not true though. I only lost 8.


This turn I chase down another little chinese unit and execute it. Only 1 left behind the lines. Raver tries to land ships on Tarawa again, looses ships and men.

Well, I lifted out the last of my battered Tarawa units and continue to bomb singapore.  Taraaw, Wotje and Maleaop, all Raver's . . . shameful.  At least he had to bleed for them but still.  He's lost a lot of ships, and a lot of drowned troops, and I'm going to make life there very difficult for the next few months but he's got airbases, engineers and fighters within range of my major pacific islands and I'm in trouble.

[castor troy]

Why don´t you put a dozen PTs at those bases Raver? Should cause Luskan some trouble... [8D] When you lose some, just let some new pop up...

[2ndACR]

Okay, I would ramp up helen production. Takes some time, I do this from day 1, so by end of January, I am at full production of roughly 60. Same bomb load, Helens are just more durable, less loss to damage.
 
Once you pound Singapore, manila etc to dust, I would shift alot of Sally's to Kwajalain and pound non stop Ravers bases there. And keep pounding them. Major port attacks to keep him from doing any construction of forts or airfields. Also airfield attacks to keep them shut down. just like the large raid you did above. But I would alternate the attacks. Do major damage to the port first, because it is harder to repair.
 
 Anything that kills off his supply. And then you can really start on his troops. maybe keep some CA's and a BB or 2 down there around kwajalain to run bombardment every 2-3 days. I would keep my Betty/nells on naval attack to prevent reinforcement, supply runs (too valuable) and the range is short enough for Army bombers. I would shift at least 2 27 or 36 plane Sally's down there ASAP though. Just to start pounding. You should be getting a helen unit soon or already have it.

The Sally and Helen are nearly identical in stock, I think it shouldn´t matter at all. Different in mods like Nik´s where the Sally is unarmored and Helen is armored and much more durable. Never seen an effect in stock.

[2ndACR]

OOPS, been along time since I looked at stock.

[Luskan]

Pt boats too gamey for us.  Auto-"create"? bah. 
 
In the headlines today I drowned another 5000 allied troops (I'm guessing - but not sure - that it was one of Raver's EAB forces) trying to land on Tarawa.  Last turn my CAs smacked them up a bit - this turn my BBs made it very plain that hey weren't landing on Tarawa.  Raver's lost 4129 army points to my 200 (?) or so thus far in the war.
 
I take another base on Java, and my armoured spearhead drives north after the fleeing allied units into Jakarta (or one of those bases).  Not long now for Batavia - Raver has empited Java of everything useful.
 
Another big air hit at Singapore - but my attack there failed to reduce the fort.  Grr.

Things are starting to go sour at Singers.   The chaps have done a wonderful job but it now looks like the writing is on the wall (was there ever any doubt?).  But at least they have done a wizard job at keeping the japs tied up for longer than they expected.  Must also say that the boys in the PI are also doing well considering that they on their own.

[Luskan]

Raver's CVs struck this turn - starting drowning my men at Apanama - didn't see it coming (well I did, but I thought they were a fast transport tf headed for Mili - so my surface raiders were 10 hexes north (thankfully) and safe.  Raver had better run away before my CVs show up.

Have to agree with that, at least! IMHO Luskan's deliberate attack last turn was a mistake -- trading nearly even will eventually get him Singapore, but at a cost that will hurt him when it's time to defend in Burma.

[Luskan]

I've got 3 divisions in Burma - plus half a dozen smaller supporting units.  Burma is ok.  Singapore isn't.

[Luskan]

I strike back at Raver's tankers this turn - couldn't find his CVs.

Too bad that was not a TF full of his big fast AO's. That would hurt for a year or more. Hope you got them going into port and not out of port. Hate to think he managed to unload that much fuel.
 
How about some screen shots of the different areas. Burma, South Pac, Gilberts, PM area etc. Helps to see the extent of your advance and such.

[Raverdave]

Ha they were homeward bound !  I would GLADY trade six TKs to find out where his CVs are.  And now that I know I can decide on what to do.  It was IMHO a tactical mistake to allow the jap CVs to hit a target such as the tankers.   The US CVs ARE the only target that bananana boy should be looking for (where are the scouting units for KB?) at this point of the game.  We are now in March and I have CV upgrades for the lady Lex this month, and the the rest of the fleet carriers next month.  More of a worry for the boy wonder, his Zero bonus will soon end.
 
Singers STILL in allied hands at the begining of March......will wonders never cease?

[Raverdave]

This is where Luskan is at as of the 1st of march '42

[Luskan]

Well, my cvs were going to get spotted adn Ravers were already running for home, so I took out some tankers instead.  Raver is a CV down (and Lex is probably still damaged) so my refits for KB over the last few weeks have been important.  KB will hunt for US CVs for a while longer - I think I know where Raver is steering anyway. 
 
Raver's troops on Jaluit surrendered today (and last turn another 5000 chinese surrendered).  So out of 4 gambles (Maleaop, Tarawa, Wotje and Jaluit) Raver pulled off 3.  Although I've started bombing Wotje now and am meeting no resistance. 
 
I continue to hurl troops at Singapore for no result.  I bomb the place flat regularly too.  Depressing really.  I blame the patches.
 
 
 
Enjoy.
