Post by ny59giants »

More bases fall. Only 2 bases remain in NG. I am pretty much on auto-pilot until Feb 44 when I will have enough strength to make a play for Chungking.


Tom,
Are you sure you can afford to let all these bases be captured by the Allies while you wait for an opportunity to capture Chungking?? What happens if you are unable to capture it and Ken runs over some other bases??

The seige of Chungking is not weakening my forces elsewhere. All units involved are CEF or Kwangtung.

I have about 18K worth of AV in China now and I am waiting for about 3K worth of reinforcements before attcking. They will arrive in about 60 days then need to be moved into place. I am hoping to have worn the defenders down to about 8K AV by then.

I am allowing Kenny to take bases that I am willing to lose. When he hits one that I need to hold he will get one hell of a fight. [;)] I also have a suprize or two left in me.

Progress or Luck at Chungking?

Post by RUPD3658 »

Probing attack at Chungking had an interesting result. The adjusted AV was only 154% above base AV vs 254% and 290% for previous attacks. In another couple of weeks I will have to try again to see if this was just a lucky die roll or real progress.

Kenny did a frontal assault at Lunga. Same predictable results as far as the distribution of mine hits. Results are too common to be coincidence. Not something to get all up in arms about but definitly something in the code is causing it to happen. I love the game as is but I am trained to notice patterns and this is a definite one

RE: Progress or Luck at Chungking?

Post by kilowatts »

Here's a thought... IIRC the manual says that a ships speed is a factor in determining the likelihood of a hit from a bomb or shell. I've seen indications of this when air-strikes hit TF's; Getting the first hit on a ship is difficult, especially on a DD. Once the ship has taken some sys damage to reduce the speed then the hits follow quickly. This might well have affected the Parigi combat by:

1) The inital mine hits reduced her speed (probably close to 0) so that she was a sitting duck for the CD guns. She wasn't necessarily targetted more. She just got hit more often.

2) Perhaps the possibility of mine hits are also calculated using the same routine and using speed as a factor in determining hit possibility? This might explain the hit clustering. Once you've hit one mine you're more likely to hit another because your speed is lower.

Could be but you would figure that after the 3rd or 4th mine hits she would not be moving at all. I still picture the ship hitting a mine then flying through the air Wile E. Coyote-like, landing on another mine, flying through the air, landing on a another mine, ect. I guess I should be happy that I am sinking 1 ship rather than damaging 7-8. [:)]

It is definilty something in the routine but it does not happen every time. Not a big deal but odd.

Summary - 2 yrs of War

Post by KDonovan »

After my 2 weeks away from WITP due to family stuff, and board exams. Tom and I are back. So far its been just under a year since we started this game, and we played 2 years worth of game time...thanks to 2-day turns. With that in mind, i figure we have about 6-10 months left before we finish the game.

Just in case everyone forgot how we got to this point, or if your new to our AAR, then here is a summary of the last 2 years to bring everyone up to speed.

(forgive me Tom for any errors, as i made these pictures based on memory solely)

First....the year of 1942 - Japan's year

Image

the year of 1943 - Allied year

Blood and oil spilled in the DEI

Post by RUPD3658 »

Allied carrier raid on Brunei sinks a super convoy and puts over 60k worth of oil into the water as well as destroying the flower of my ASW force. Everone else is running away as fast as they can. Can I change R&D factories to work on producing hybrids? I have a feeling I am going to be short on oil soon.

Only good new for me is that a probing attack at Chungking showed that the real AV fell again so last month's attck was not a fluke.

The oil crisis has begun. Kenny used carrier AC and 4e bombers to attack my oil in the DEI. I now lack the oil to run all my HI and will have to start using up my reserves. It is going to be a long 2 years.
