AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 01/30/43
"After years of trying to negotiate over hex 66:31 with the Russian leadership all the Emperor was receiving was the middle finger response. Each day that passed internal pressure grew on the Emperor to respond. The people in Manchukuo wanted their lake front properties back.
On the 31st of Jan the Emperor -(Gordonz san) signed the order to retake the hex. And issued further demands to the evil Russian leadership (Comrade RUPD385). These include the immediate withdrawal from Mongolia and the immediate return of Okha. Russia leadership has 1 month to respond, at which time if our demands are not met there will be a state of war between our two nations."
Dark days are ahead for both nations.
The count down has began - on the 28th of Feb/1st March I begin offensive opps. All aircraft have been stood down and Tom gets 1 month to move his troops into position.

RE: Operation Bear Trap
If RUPD mines a base that you control, those Allied mines are offensive minefields and either side can be hit by them while you control the hex. If RUPD sends ships into the Kwajalein hex, he has the same chances of hitting them as you do.

Ouch. mental note: bring lots of MSWs [:D]
youd think your own sides ships would be able to avoid friendly mines [:D]
but then a destroyer and a transport ran into a defensive minefield in August 42 just before Guadalcanal IIRC, so whaddo i know [:D]

RE: Operation Bear Trap
I am pleased to announce 'Operation Bear Trap' - The destruction of Russian Far East Command
The below map points out the general axis of advance.
ARMY
In the East we have the Kwantung Area Army advancing on Vladivostock from both the south and west. 400k men
Attacking out of Helio is the Chinese Area Army. They will work their way back east. 500k men
In the West I have 4th and 6th Army's. Their job is to capture everything west . 180k men
I have a reserve of approx 100k men to crush any counter attacks. Every base is level 9 forts.
It looks as though TOM is not going to defend Vlad and Uglah very strongly. He has put the bulk of his forces it IMAN.
AIRFORCE
Well what can I say almost everything is here - except my training units and a sizable force in Burma. I got Jacks a month early [8D] and all units are high 70's plus. Looking at the Russian airforce in the Jun 43 scenerio I am quietly confident. They don't seem to get the really good units until May 43 and Late 43. I still expect this to be bloody. Most of the Russian airforce is hold up in IMAN.
NAVY
Beside the early bombardments of Vlad they wont take part. KB is in the south pacific ready to halt any advance.
Your thoughts are welcome.

Besides being smacked on the airfield for 400 aircraft losses something even worse happened, 6 of my Div's moved into woods and mountains. Moving at 1 mile per day it will take them two months to move out. [:@][:@][:@] I am really pissed off with this game and feel like giving up at the moment. It is incredibly frustrating and would ask for a redo but Tom did so well at beating up my airfield it wouldn't be fair on him.
I don't know what to do now. My offensive is halted I have just lost 120k men for 2 months. [:@][:@]

Besides being smacked on the airfield for 400 aircraft losses something even worse happened, 6 of my Div's moved into woods and mountains. Moving at 1 mile per day it will take them two months to move out. [:@][:@][:@] I am really pissed off with this game and feel like giving up at the moment. It is incredibly frustrating and would ask for a redo but Tom did so well at beating up my airfield it wouldn't be fair on him.
I don't know what to do now. My offensive is halted I have just lost 120k men for 2 months. [:@][:@]

RE: Operation Bear Trap - phase two
hmmmm.... taking on Russia usually ends up being more than most can chew!! You are not the first to learn that lesson - not in witp, and not in reality!!
Dont quit! A very interesting AAR so far. The game has certainly changed from here on in, but it is not all over yet.
And as you sit there frustrated be encouraged by the fact that 'they' have promised better movement routines in WitP:AE - so hopefully those units wont go wandering off in the woods any more!!

RE: Operation Bear Trap - phase two
Thanks for the post Flying Tiger - This major setback will only slow me down at best. Tom and I both know he has no chance in Russia. In two months time he will have at the most two bases left.
