Andy Mac ...... Revenge of the Allies

[trollelite]

Anyone who is unhappy with pauk training his pilots should take Japs himself against Pauk. If any of you could survive 12 months (of course without strafing training because its so uncivilized) then perhaps you have a right to raise this problem. Shame on those who already enjoy HUGE allies advantage and still whining about other do something only to avoid meaningless Turkey shoot. Beat Pauk as Japs side and you could abuse him as well as u like.

[Andy Mac]

Trollelite - I have not abused Pauk on this issue I accept he does it as do all my other opponenets I dont like it but I accept that hwe generates hordes of elite pilots and that I cannot compete with that. If you dont think this type of training when tied to PDU gives the Japanese a huge advantage that more than upsets the balance of the game then that is your opinion I dont agree but that is my right.

Having said all that after re reading your post I have decided  I dont really care what you think as I do not like the inference that I am 'abusing pauk' to put it quite simply - IGNORE is now on bye bye !!!!

[Gen.Hoepner]

The problem isn't really the training system. The key is the replacement rate of planes on which the allies are stuck, while the japs can overproduce them...so Japs can fight for attrition while the allies cannot. That's the main problem imho

[Andy Mac]

Hmmm I dont fully agree with that but cest la vie.

It occurs to me that I shouldnt put anyone on ignore for now while I am doing AE so I will play nice for now [:D][:D][:D][:D]

[Gen.Hoepner]

But Andy, let me ask you....you aren't training your crews with attack missions on isolated bases???? If that's so i understand you're saying the method it's not fair! If he does it, i think you should simply do the same...

[Andy Mac]

I dont use ground attack training I would find using isolated Japanese bases to produce a horde of Thatches to be wrong.

As Speedy points out its not a pauk issue its a me being stubborn issue - I just simply wont do it I believe it breaks the game engine to have than many highly experienced pilots about - others disagree.

We all play the game differently and thats fine I am not having a go at pauk.

Andy

[Andy Mac]

OK just wanted to kweep track of the repairs underway

Seattle
USS Hornet - Sys 42

San Francisco
USS Enterprise Sys 29
USS Gambier Bay 33
RDN Sumatra 28

LA
USS Colorado 31
HMS Devonshire 43

San Diego
USS Lexington 83
USS Northampton 20

Pearl
Various ships at about 15 sys just knocing a few points off

I would like to get all of the above ships into the next fight except for lexington.

I think Pauk spotted my force 60 miles north of Mandalay - he should run away I think as I dont think he can stand up to the force assembled but he has proven me wrong before - I want him to stand and fight and get retreated but we shall need to see how it goes
[align=right] [/align]

[Andy Mac]

Mandalay finally falls but its a hollow victory Pauk evacced the city just in time and is retreating in an orderly fashion to the south.

Not sure where he will stand next.

If it was me not knowing abouththe southern offensive I would stand at Moulmien (Rangoon is a trap)

Lt General Auchinleck ordered both his Corps to pursue without much hope of catching the retreating japanese forces until they choose to stad and fight.

In the South Slims preparations continue the Southern offensive hits home in 3 days if it works the whole Burmese coastal axis of defence is a trap for Pauk if it works in full and I can get spearheads into Bankok - even if they dont take the base - then Pauk has a problem because the whole of Burmese supply is cut off.

Andy

[Andy Mac]

OK my army is over the river south of Mandalay and is moving South - Rangoon or bust !!!!

I have diverted Armoured Bdes to capture Pagan and taung Ghi as they are fast enough to catch nme back up and th eadditional airfields are going to be needed.

Eastern Fleet has sortied and will begin round the clock bombardments of rangoon covered by P38's and Saratoga Task Group.

I dont expect pauk to do much but pull back to Moulmien or Rahang.

Ideally I would like him to try and stand at rangoon or the hex next to it (where the programme will force him to retreat to rangoon)

But he aint that daft.

An additional Corps worth of troops 81st, 82nd and 19th Indian Div arreive very soon these fresh troops and the force already committed are enough to crush the Burma Area Army.

If the southern offensive is successfull I will cut all of Pauks supply routes into Burma at which point its just a matter of destroying supplies and finishing off the japanese forces in situ !!!

Dont like whats happening on Tinian his unit count is risning steadily I may rethink using 10th US Army and hit Marcus or another island instread (I still have time to change target and prep for units)

Pauk was saying that allied air power is overstated because a few days ago a Tank Regt on open terrain moving by railway lost 25% of its strength in a single day  (i.e. 20 ish tanks) to 60+ allied bombers and FB's that have been providing CAS to Auks fordces for 6 months in a situation where the allies have total air superiority - my problem with th eresult is that it was too low I was ready to sack my Sqn commanders for ONLY destroying 20 tanks that regt should be a 100% writeoff !!!!

Pauk and I agree to disagree on this point !!!

[Hortlund]

Heh, its funny that he sees a problem with 60 fighter-bombers taking out 20 tanks on a road-march, but he doesnt see a problem with a movement bug that kills your CVs or the ridiculous "I'll order my 30 green fighter pilots to strafe an empty jungle base for five weeks and then I'll have 30 seasoned veteran aces"-routine.
 

[Andy Mac]

Pauks been great no complaints from me we all have things we find irritating in the game I know for a fact he thinks my stacking limits for AF's are way over the top - there are always things players do that rub the other player up the wriong way.

As long as you respect your opponent you find a way through as we have.

Make no mistake pauk has played an impeccable game taking bugs and luck out of it its hard to think of a major mistake he has made. Getting back to a draw for me is what this game is all about now.

It was me who got impatient and stupid not him !!! [:D][:D][:D][:D]

I find the ground attack stuff funny because I think of what the Wehrmacht was facing and the losses they took and to lose 20 tanks on a rail march of an entire amry to the USAAF and RAF at this point of the war would be mana from heavan to them but hey we all have our perspectives.

yeah, first thing I thought of was Panzer Lehr being wiped out by fighter bombers... Air2ground attacks are underrated in WITP, that´s for sure. But think about the effect it would have if you could really knock out whole divisions in one or two days with air attacks only. Wouldn´t be good for the game IMO.

Your both doing a good job and I think your game must be lots of fun! Keep it up!

[Andy Mac]

OK well a lot has happened

In the North Pauks timely exit has allowed my forces to advance rapidly he has ran quicker and is sensibly abandoning Rangoon.

In the south 4 shock attacks in turn have achieved 2:1 odds but cannot break his resistance I have thrown the kitchen sink in for one more attmpt to break through but in all honesty without much hope forest terrain plus his inherant fort levels are not breaking his troops

1st tank Div was routed as have been rseveral other units but the Inf remain dug in stopping Slim Breaking through - VERY frustrating.

Coming up from Bandou 15th Indian Corps is now driving on the road rail junction pursuing Japanese troops gettiong out of the culdesac.

Most of the Bdes are now combat inoperable in 14th Army you need Divs for properly constituted atttacks to sustain them !!!

One more try to break through and then we will leave it to Christiansons Corps driving north to break the deadlock
Andy

[Andy Mac]

Not a lot to say a couple of Bdes are moving on Rangoon the bulk of Auks army is moving on Moulmien and Raehang.

In the south Christianson has managed to cut the japanese supply line at the Tavoy junctio I would expect a witrhdrawal from in front of VP soon.

Slim is begining the slow refit process for his Bdes only his Divs will move in pursuit of the retreating Japanese forces.

With Rangoon in my hands my refitting of tired units becomes a LOT easier and the focus of my rest camps can move forward.

and I get 3 fresh Divs inside of 40 days.

So after mopulmein and perhaps Tavoy are mione there will be a short pause but my next move will not be long delayed...

New ships and men constasntluy arrive at Pearl and other harbours.

I will be going for it very soon....

[Andy Mac]

Summary

[Andy Mac]

OK my thoughts on the whole Burma front
 
Pauk has pulled a masterfull defence and delayed me by 9 months he will now pull back and defend SEA and probably Malaya and unless I commit the entire army to a long grinding campaign my ability to move rapidly is limited.
 
Not a lot I can do about that and we have all seen that frontal attacks don't really work that well.
 
So I have a new plan....
 
Rangoon will allow my army to rest and be supplied for future operations and Pauk has no choice but to keep KB focussed on Central Pacific.
 
I am going to pull an Army out of the line as soon as I can I want to concentrate an Indian Corps heavy on armoured forces and a US Corps.
 
This new combined arms force after its rested will be used for amphib operations in SEA
 
Andy

[Andy Mac]

Well my troops crossed the river at Moulmien and suffered badly 10,000 casualties.
 
Ouch
 
I have 300,000 supply unloading at Rangoon so all being well I should break through quickly
 
Pauk has me confused Moulmien and Tavoy are undefendable I have cut both ends of the railway so they will be struggling after a few weeks and I am in no rush in this theatre the next blow hits in the East anyway.
 
I will take Moulmien and perhaps Tavoy and then my next plan comes into operation !!!

[Andy Mac]

OK well Pauk has attacked at Rahaeng trying to get in behind me and has forced the flanking force back which is annoying I have more forces enroute so I am not especially worried but they will take a few days to get into position
 
Andy

[Andy Mac]

Not a lot to say my air force is pounding Moulmien and Tavoy as a 3 BB TF Based at Rangoon.
 
I have about 8 air fields in range and each of them is ordered to round the clock bombardment.
 
I will leave it three or four more days then begin the process to take Moulmien

[Andy Mac]

I thought I would post the combat replay just for the hell of it this time as you can see Eastern Fleet is hitting Moulmien hard he cannot survive much more of this I have a lot of bombers in range....7

Dive bombers, TBM's and Fighter bombers hit the units the heavies and mediums are hitting ground units I will shortly shift the heavies and mediums to ground attack as well but I will weaken his supply base a little more first.
