RE: New ASW Menace
Looks like Kenny is getting ready to invade the PI. The locals won't be too happy with him since he is bombing their farms and brothels. [:D][:-]

RE: New ASW Menace
Nice Frigate....ASW rating of 14 can be misleading though...here's why
- Type 2 DC has an accuracy of 9 and a explosion effect of 357
- The Allied Fletcher class DD has a ASW value of 8...however she carrys Mk 9 DC's
- The Mk 9 has an accuracy of 30 and a explosion effect of 200
- So the Allied DC is 300% more accurate, but the Jap DC is 75% more powerful
- Therefore u can stipulate that the Allied DC's are about 110% more effective than Japanese DC's
- so the Fletcher class DD really has an ASW of about 17 [:D]
- Type 2 DC has an accuracy of 9 and a explosion effect of 357

RE: New ASW Menace
It still has a higher ASW and AA rating than most of my DDs so I am happy to have it. Turn will be run when my wife gets off the one (of 3 computers in our house) that has WiTP on it.[:@]

RE: New ASW Menace
The attack at Chungking had the tanks shocking and the INF deliberate attacking. Got 1:1 on day 1 but missed by 40 points (less than 3%) on Day 2. Curious why the 3,000 engineers didn't lower forts on Day 2 with such a close result. Hard to tell what the losses were due to the pounding of Paramushiro Jima.
Allied paratroops captured a level 6 AF off of the PI and can now cut the sea lanes from the DEI to the HI. I am kicking myself for having built up the bases.

RE: Home Islands Invaded!
SS Snapper, the only survivor from the Manila raid on Dec 7th, exacted some revenge slamming a couple fish into some fat japanese Tankers...
The chinese are screaming for help, and the allies are sending there heart felt aplogies....
Paramushiro Jima landing went well (those AGC's are awesome)....
Batan Is. invasion will occur next turn, fingers are crossed as i expect heavy japanese air attacks out of Okinawa....
I am now conducting a 2 prong offensive...or is one just a diversion??[:D]

RE: Home Islands Invaded!
I recognized Battan Island as a weak spot too late. Tinas were flying reinforcements in when they were intercepted by the carrier air. Now if I can just get the Kamis to fly as a group. First attacks were slaughtered. The CV group also intercepted some of my fleeing transports.

Bugs after 400 turns....
After 400 turns sent back and forth b/t myself and Tom, bugs are expected to crop up, especially with a game on this scale. But on my side (the allies), i'm pretty happy with the amount of bugs that have occured. So here's a list of the current bugs for the allied side....
- 117th USAAF and 120th USAAF Base Force each have a fragment that is unmovable, essentially making those fragments "static"
- my 1st and 3rd USMC Para Btn's have disappeared when transferring them by air b/t bases
- a fragment of the 249th IAD FG from the USSR w/ two Yak-1's appeared in San Francisco w/o USSR activation
- the Alf Floatplane from the sub I-29, that was sunk near Emirau Is, appeared the next day at Emirau Is, available to the allies.
- my barges carrying engineers to Kai Is, would've been savagely beatened by japanese CA's, had the turn not kept locking up. Only cancelling the japanese CA mission allowed the turn to continue, therefore sparing my barges.

Unwinnable.....
Looking at the VP score i'm down about 30,000 points (21,000 to 51,000). When Chungking falls, i believe this will make the game unwinnable for me, so i'll be playing for a "draw".
While i dominate the Sea's and the Air. The Japanese Army is HUGE, dominating all of Asia. I estimate some 100 Divisions worth of troops on Japan occupied Asia and the Home Islands. So without the Chinese Army, that leaves my paltry Allied troops to deal with this massive Army...totalling maybe 40-50 Divisions.
so to head the advice..."never get invovled in a land war in asia" i forsee the following "end" to the Japanese Empire, with the Pacific back in Allied hands, and Japan left to govern the Chinese and Indians.
Thats my prediction...[:D]

RE: Unwinnable.....
Have your people talk to my people. I think we could reach a diplomatic solution. You can have the "Pacifc" and I will rule the land.

RE: Unwinnable.....
It is March of 1944, and the Allied forces are already a serious threat to the Japanese homeland. They may not be a serious invasion threat yet, but you should be able to start pounding his industry into rubble! Even the largest army still needs food, ammo, spare parts, replacement equipment and manpower... I have not read the entire AAR, but from this snapshot I think you have a VERY good chance in this game! Then again, I've not yet played past January, 1942....so what do I know? [:D]

Major surface action at Battan Island actually went my way. (See attached photos). My subs got slaughtered however. Air combat was also pretty nasty. In the end I was outscored 1292 to 822 but since I am playing for a 1:2 draw I am happy with this.
The whole logic behind sending CAs and DDs to their doom against spotted BBs was that I have already written off my surface fleet and saw an oportunity for them to take some Allied ships down with them. To lose them to LBA while in port would have been disgraceful.

Battle Disected
once again, another interesting surface engagement to be anaylized. This time comparing few Large Surface TF's vs multiple Smaller Surface TF's.
Here's what each side brought into battle
Japan (45 ships)
- 11 CA
- 18 CL
- 16 DD
Allies (36 ships)
- 8 BB
- 7 CA
- 3 CL
- 18 DD
Japan divided up here warships into 2 TF's...
TF 1 (25 ships) - 11 CA, 14 CL
TF 2 (20 ships) - 4 CL, 16 DD
The Allies divided up here warships into 3 TF's...
TF 1 (12 ships) - 4 BB, 2 CA, 6 DD (fast BBs)
TF 2 (12 ships) - 4 BB, 2 CA, 6 DD (slow BBs)
TF 3 (12 ships) - 3 CA, 3 CL, 6 DD
7 Surface Engagements were fought in all....
Japan TF 1 vs Allied TF 1
Japan TF 1 vs Allied TF 2
Japan TF 1 vs Allied TF 3
Japan TF 1 vs Allied TF 3
Japan TF 2 vs Allied TF 2
Japan TF 2 vs Allied TF 3
Japan TF 2 vs Allied TF 3
unfortunately my best TF (Allied TF 1) was only engaged once, while Allied TF 3 squared off against a superior foe in 4 seperate battles! Needles to say that Allied TF 3 was nearly obliterated. I went with smaller 12 ship TF's cause i was under the impression that only 12 ships can fight per round. Since we aren't playing with combat animations on, i can't confirm this theory, but looking at the combat reports, it would seem not to be the case, and would've been better had i divided my warships into 2 TF's instead of 3 TF. Luckly my CV-TF and LBA was able to pick up some assists and turn a major Japanese Victory into only a Minor.
Anyways here are the combined results...of each TF
