Marseille (Japan) vs Fletcher (Allied) CHS 2.08 Scen 158

ny59giants · Post by **ny59giants** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 5:22 pm

I am playing CHS Scenario 158 (Nik Mod) using 2 day turns as the Allies (12/19/41). [:D]
I will have to monitor your AAR to see how things are going differently for you vs. me.

I noticed that your map is somewhat different, which one is it??

I downloaded from Cobra Aus webpage:
http://www.prycom.net/cobra_aus/Maps.html
I think is one of the best map with rhs level 7.

Cheers from Spain !

I'm not going to do an AAR for my game.
If I could offer any advise is to watch for invasion of bases that have an AF of 4 or larger (he can place Nell/Betty on them with torpedoes [:(]) or those that are level 3 already and can be improved to level 4 quickly.  I will probably go to RHS level 7 for my next game (waiting for this game to progress for a while and for RHS to get more errata fixed). I will then use the digital map. [&o][&o]

ng59giants thanks for comments, but my strategy with Marseille will be very hazardous, I suggest you take another game to compare with yours, like Kaiman vs me when I am going more conservative but with a piece of aggresive spirit with allies at the beginning to get as time as possible.

Cheers

Like my other AAR, after put an eye on the revolutionary Feinder vs Bilbow AAR that under my own point of view is a very hard and nice work, I think that I need to change my owns AARs trying to mix between graphic AAR and Roger Neilson II spreadsheet (its let me to know quickly the actually overall situation). I´ll try to comment with SitMap report for active theatres (like DEI or Malaya) and the more interesting screenshots from combats. I am leaving out the text AAR option trying to improve thanks Feinder AAR ideas and Roger Neilson II simple and practical spreadsheet.

From enemy broadcasting:

Message from the HQ of the Imperial Japanese Forces.
In a great feat of arms our valerous fliers have sunk the great ship POW. We have send a "couple" of Pete's float planes to rescue and search for any survivors at the scene of the sinking but UNFORTUNATELY only oil, debris and corpses were to be seen. The effect of the loss of this capital ship is enormous. The general effect on British morale and confidence is certainly disastrous. The will to resist is now deteriorating rapidly..

HMS Prince of Wales have been sank by enemy torpedo bombers off Kuantan when search enemy transport ships near Malaya east coast.

the general situation is spoilling quickly. HMS Prince of Wales sank, and Noumea has fallen in dirty japanese hands.

A Diversionary mission against Kwajalein have been planned for USN Carrier Force. Yesterday enemy patrol floatplanes have spotted our carrier 180 nm east off Kwajalein heading west fast speed. Kido Butai is far away at north New Zealand after bombing Auckland and Wellington facilities.
Weather is bad at Marshalls (today rainning and tomorrow forecast rainning too). If it will not possible to achieve air mission against Marshall, it will be canceled and our ships will be back home to Pearl.

The enemy have launch an offensive vs. Australia, landing at Wyndham, and launching air attacks over Sydney. Several ships have been hit by enemy bombers at port, with a ML sank off Sydney.
At Burma, 55th IJA Division have captured Moulmein.
Hong Kong hold on after 28 days under siege.
At Singapore front, BB Haruna was hit by a mine and BB Fuso ate a torpedo off Mersing launched by a dutch submarine.

USN carrier force, under VADM Halsey have launched an air attack over enemy air facilities at Wake island. It have been like an training mission before return to Pearl.

From Dec 24th 191 to Jan 10th 1942 the total ammount of victory points get by the enemy was 4.316. Manila and Singapore hold on but when this bases would fall in japanese hands i will lost 3.200 points in my score. Several main tools like Eastern East Fleet and AVG volunteer group have been destroyed trying to defend Singapore. 18th Divisions with 44th Indian Brigade get to relieve Singapore garrison with 65.000 tons of supplies, but every capital ship from Eastern Royal Fleet have been sent to the bottom. I thought with a wrong idea to reinforcement Singapore as strong as possible and as soon as possible with troops, aircrafts (P40 from PI and AVG), and trying to
keep open the south approaches with naval assets.
I can not understand why only 30 fighters ready from 250 at Singapore airfields when I have there 250 Aviation support, enough for quick repairs.... It was stunned with it.

My beginning idea have been beaten by a good player, aggresive, dinamic and clever ...he was not a newby !!.
I have not ideas for retaken another defensive strategy after the blow (Singapore besieged with RN ships at bottom, and Australia east coast under attack). I will not try any more a strategic defense of Singapore with reinforcements. I think this is impossible at WITP (it is ahistorical i think, British get relieve Singapore with 18th UK and 44th Indian Brigade in several convoys).
I am unmotivated to follow, and I suggest a surrender. he accepts it.
Greetings to Marseille for his victory.
