Sunk by 35cm/45 1YT Gun - Near Singapore
RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
Just a friendly suggestion (since I'm enjoying this AAR so far).
I'd love a bit more commentary and less in the way of combat text. It's more fun to read what folks were thinking and then get the highlights for just the "key" battles, than it is to scan through a whole mess of combat text looking for the "good" parts

.RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
The reason I post all of the combat report is in many ways for my own refernce. I remove the bombing altitudes to cut it down a bit. I will try to post the highlights in bold at the top so that you can skim (or skip) the rest.[;)]
Today Clark and Tuguegarao fell leaving just Manilla and Bataan on Luzon.
In Malaya Johare Buru, Singapore, and Khoto Baru are all that remain. An attack at Khoto Baru failed to clear out the defenders. My BBs may have to pay them a visit.
Recon flights show Rangoon as empty. Either I am getting bad intel or Bill has pulled back into the jungle. SEAC Chinese forces have been spotted moving along the trail to Lashio. Should make for a good fight there.
In The way South Pacific Luganville and Efate were taken to complete the collection. Now I will have to get supplies and troops to the units there before the islands just become a big POW camp.
Overall, the Jap war machine needs to pause to catch it's breath. The massive expansion early on came at the price of running out of fuel and supplies. The fact that the AVG and B-17s have not shown themselves concerns me. Not knowing where they are is making me advance much more cautiously now.

Today Clark and Tuguegarao fell leaving just Manilla and Bataan on Luzon.
In Malaya Johare Buru, Singapore, and Khoto Baru are all that remain. An attack at Khoto Baru failed to clear out the defenders. My BBs may have to pay them a visit.
Recon flights show Rangoon as empty. Either I am getting bad intel or Bill has pulled back into the jungle. SEAC Chinese forces have been spotted moving along the trail to Lashio. Should make for a good fight there.
In The way South Pacific Luganville and Efate were taken to complete the collection. Now I will have to get supplies and troops to the units there before the islands just become a big POW camp.
Overall, the Jap war machine needs to pause to catch it's breath. The massive expansion early on came at the price of running out of fuel and supplies. The fact that the AVG and B-17s have not shown themselves concerns me. Not knowing where they are is making me advance much more cautiously now.

RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
Interesting use of your BB's at Singapore for constant bombardments, in support of the troops on Mayala, will imagine it falling much sooner. Haven't seen this done yet in an AAR. Looks as if your BB's have suffered no damage thus far, as well. Question though, have you hit any mines yet? In my limited testing at bombarding Singapore i find that not having DD's in TF's are a pretty good way of preventing mine hits. Is that what you are doing?
RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
I have hit 2 mines so far one causing next to no damage and one landing the Hyuga in the shop with 24 sys damage and some floation damage. Due to the high concentration of Dutch subs in the area they have a light DD escort.
Singapore is pretty well wrecked so I should not have to worry about the fort level going up. Using the BBs for this means that I can use my AC elsewhere.
Most of the Malaya army is in Johare Baru so this is where the main battle will be. Singapore will most likely just be a footnote.

RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
Noumea is captured but attacks at Manilla and Wuchow are repulsed. The over expansion of Jap indstry is going to make supplies a bit short for the next few eeks so the pace is going to slow a bit.
Bill has abandoned Rangoon and pulled back to Mandalay. With the Seac Chinese forces spotted on the move it looks like the Irawaddi river is going to be the front line for a while.
Looks like the last of the ships fleeing the PI have escaped or been sunk

RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
I'm a bit surprised that the coastal defense guns at Singapore didn't do more damage to the bombarding ships. Wasn't it one of the most massive CD set-ups in the world at the time?
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
BBs are rarely engaged by coastal guns of any size in WiTP. Same goes for mines. I think it is a matter of range since BB main guns have a range of 20+ miles. It is much easier to hit a base from sea than to hit a ship from a base.
I tried bombarding Singapore with BBs and CAs in a previous game and almost got the CAs sunk.

Yes I was a bit surprised the Singapore CD guns didn't do more. Anyway, I'll be posting some thoughts and screenshots again within the next day or so.

RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
Attack at Khota Bharu clears out the cut off defenders but the blocking force at Johore Bahru repells an attack, thus saving Singapore a bit longer. In the north, an abandoned Rangoon is occupied. Further advances may be a while as Mandalay looks well defended behind the Irawaddi river.
DDs clear out most of the Dutch PT boats defending the DEI. Now if I only had some troops to spare for a landing....

RE: Joe Friday Vs Sherlock Holmes--RUPD3658 (J) vs Bill Durant (A)
BBs are rarely engaged by coastal guns of any size in WiTP. Same goes for mines. I think it is a matter of range since BB main guns have a range of 20+ miles. It is much easier to hit a base from sea than to hit a ship from a base.
That strikes me as a problem with WitP's combat engine. Several of the guns at Singapore were BB main guns: the same 15" models found in so many of the British BB's and BC's. Effective bombardment out of the range of those would have been very difficult indeed. And while it's easier to hit a base than a moving ship, hitting something useful on the base, such as a personnel or storage bunker, is not all that easy.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
