seems that you get some quiet turns after the furious action of the last weeks. and you use this time to train up the mighty KB and hopefully consolidate the economy and rice production[:D] at home.
the insulting anglo-american attacks on the peacefull people of PM would stop when they face 200 tojo and tonys over the target next time.[;)]

yeah, guess there will be some quiet weeks/months ahead. Well, at least against the Western Allied forces as you all know that we plan to attack the Soviet Union. But my tank units haven´t arrived in Port Arthur yet so I estimate the start of the hostilities against the Russians in three weeks as it also takes some time to move the tanks from Port Arthur to the front.
200 Tojos on Cap over PM would be funny but that´s not possible. As soon as I move the fighters to PM, the Allied immediately can see it. That´s the nice design feature we all know about, so surprise isn´t possible. And moving 150 fighters to Buna to fly LRCAP isn´t really worth it either as I would just take too many op losses when doing it daily as the Allied bombers aren´t coming in daily and I can only guess when they will show up again. But perhaps I will LRCAP it now and then.
BTW, Tonies aren´t available anyway...

... a big raid from Wyndham suddenly shows up over Darwin and once again our fighter defense has it´s pants down... out of around 250 fighters on Cap we see 176 in the air which is 70% and not that bad, BUT we get bounced!!! [:@] oh my... we defend over our base, our fighters are set to 20.000 ft, the enemy comes in at 10.000ft with the bombers (means 13.000ft for his fighters) and hey ho, we get bounced... so the first dozen Tojos are shot down immediately by the Lightnings that suffer not a single loss during that phase. Our Tojo sentai in the lead gets shredded and then my other Tojos show up, now bouncing the Lightnings, bringing the kill rate up again. When the Tomahawks show up, we get bounced again, the P-40Bs achieve a kill rate in their favour. Then the usual totally off Nikmod fighter vs bomber result, with NOT A SINGLE BOMBER SHOT DOWN during the replay!!!!!
84 bombers get damaged during the replay but not even O N E is shot down during the replay... boah, I´m getting sick...
out of 84 bombers, then 7 crash but not even O N E of the 43 damaged Liberator VI. Oh boy, Nik...
no more comment on that one... [>:]
I don´t know if this attack was due to Miller being bored or for whatever reason. At least I can´t see a good reason to launch this attack, as in the end the enemy lost 6 weeks of P-38 replacements, while we have to send two of the Tojo sentais into training schools again. Due to the fact that Nikmod never really sees the bombers being hurt, I´ve totally ramped up my fighter production and therefore I really don´t care about fighter losses on the ground anymore. My Tony R&D has nearly reached 500 ac but the date hasn´t moved forward and is still at 9/43. I hope to get this fighter at 7/43 and then I will be able to employ the first 10 Tony sentais within a month. With a better gun value, an armor value of 2 and a maneuverability rating nearly as good as the allied fighters, I hope to be more competitive as the Tojo stays totally obsolete against enemy fighters. Ok against unescorted bombers, but obsolete as soon as enemy fighters show up. Even though we achieved an A2A kill rate in our favour today, you may not forget that we fought over our own base, the enemy was on escort and we only employed pilots with 80+ exp, while I doubt that the enemy fields pilots that are equally skilled (not yet, but probably soon). I expect to face equally skilled fighter pilots within the next couple of months though.
Miller so far missed to fight a war of attrition and if he now tries to start one without of his short ranged (5 hexes) fighters then he will attrit his long range escorts ten times faster than I would run out of point defense fighters. IMO he should have tried to grab a base somewhere in the Solomons to start the atrittion war, or even better, he should have tried to immediately exploit his attack on Timor.
For the moment, all our hopes are leaning towards the arrival of the Tony, I hope it won´t be disappointing...

idiotic! Why? Guess those of you that have been reading this AAR for quite some time know that except a BB and a CA that was sunk due to a lucky torp that caused a mag explosion I have also lost some two dozen DDs to mine hits at those Northern Australian bases. Well, I´ve never seen such a BS before but I thought, well, what is good for the goose... so I´ve sent my MLs to mine Luganville. There are not only a couple of mines now, we´re talking about thousands. At the moment, there are 3874 mines!!! No idea how many mines the Allied had at Wyndham, Derby and Broome (when 9 out of 10 times a surface combat or bombardment TF hit a mine) but I doubt that those two Allied MLs could lay that many at three different bases until they were sunk.
Does a single Allied ship hit a mine here? No. Do they even encouter the mines? No. Do they get their nuke they are used to in 95% of the cases in this campaign? Hell, of course they do!

let´s continue with idiocy... I´ve deliberately kept this damaged MSW at Derby to trigger an Allied port attack as I wanted to lure them into my flak defenses. We have 4 AA rgt/btn, three base forces and a special base force there, the enemy comes in at 6.000ft!!!!! we damage only 27 bombers and how many are lost??? N O N E!!!! Those are the bombers that flew 14 hexes yesterday already...
Guess how many milk run aircraft we lost today? 7!!!!!

Tatsuta will have a hard time trying to make port... one torp is enough to sink an IJN light cruiser, but usually not enough to sink a small Allied AK...

let´s continue with idiocy... I´ve deliberately kept this damaged MSW at Derby to trigger an Allied port attack as I wanted to lure them into my flak defenses. We have 4 AA rgt/btn, three base forces and a special base force there, the enemy comes in at 6.000ft!!!!! we damage only 27 bombers and how many are lost??? N O N E!!!! Those are the bombers that flew 14 hexes yesterday already...
Guess how many milk run aircraft we lost today? 7!!!!!
idiocy...

how great... one of the atolls turned into a level 2 airfield and Miller moved in TBFs... I didn´t pay attention and of course opposite to the Allied player, I can´t see the Allied air transfers anyway... Tatsuta will have a hard time trying to make port... one torp is enough to sink an IJN light cruiser, but usually not enough to sink a small Allied AK...

RE: it goes on...
A feel your pain - I too am playing Japan at this stage of the war. Everything you are saying is like Dejavu to me. In my game my opponent regularly bombards my bases with thousands of mines and misses every mine. One base had over 8000 and not a scratch. The worst I think is the fact the Allies know where we move our aircraft and can move theirs accordingly and when they attack we only get 50% CAP.
Anyway - you're doing amazing. This AAR is a must read for me and I hang out for updates.

thanks, glad you enjoy it.
Well, most of my issues are just the usual emotional rant of mine, perhaps I should have called this AAR "The rant goes on part II". [:D]
I don´t know why, some things like I´ve seen in this PBEM is something I´ve never seen before. Whenever my TFs entered a base in Northern Australia they hit a mine, lost something like two dozen DDs. There surely are a lot of mines, but surely not as many as I have at my bases - this just because of the fact that I´ve got far more MLs as the Allied lost most of them. The fact that Miller seems to be able to nuke my bases 9 out of 10 times doesn´t make it any better. Both things is something I´ve never experienced before and I´ve played thousands of IJN PBEM turns before.
The issue with the Allied player seeing Japanese aircraft transferes immediately is something that is changed as well as the stupid air balance number.

if I can´t interrupt the Allied training runs or make them at least more costly then we will run into serious problem in four months. As this would mean we would face hundreds of top notch Allied fighter pilots that fly top notch Allied fighters. We are barely holding our own against mediocre Allied pilots in Allied fighters at the moment with elite pilots in our crappy fighters. And even if the Tony will hopefully be an improvement, it will be far from equal to Allied fighters. Not good, not good... at the moment I don´t know what to do against those training runs. And in the long run I can´t interdict them anyway as the Allied will get dozens of bases they can fly training runs to... as soon as I run out of skilled pilots, those training runs won´t be necessary anyway as I will then field 30 exp pilots in obsolete aircraft against 50 exp pilots in excellent aircraft... but I´m not telling veteran Japanese players anything new...
let´s hope for the Shinden... [:D]

why, just why are my escorts never able to prevent a sub from attacking?? [>:] Attack near the Philipines, Tullibee missed and that´s what saved the big AK. The PGs achieve one hit and two near misses... the sub isn´t on fire so I guess the hit was just FOW or it was a very bad die roll that did nearly no damage...

MSW Finch
Allied ground losses:
35 casualties reported
West of the Fidjis, a medium sized AK is hit by a torp, but not in sinking condition it seems. Some troops aboard though. The single MSW wasn´t enough to prevent our sub from achieving a hit, not even with the excellent Allied ASW...

but just a moment later, an ASW TF attacks, damaging our sub and bringing it in a bad state. Chance to survive is good but floatation is at 45 after four near misses and a hit... only damaging a medium sized AK to have a sub being more or less heavily damaged isn´t worth it. Not even sinking the AK would be worth it. If the sub survives (it´s nevertheless quite a distance to the next major port) it will be out of action for at least three months with the sys damage received and the long way to Japan...

Allied ground losses:
35 casualties reported
West of the Fidjis, a medium sized AK is hit by a torp, but not in sinking condition it seems. Some troops aboard though. The single MSW wasn´t enough to prevent our sub from achieving a hit, not even with the excellent Allied ASW...

SS I-177, hits 5
Allied Ships
SC SC-738
SC SC-708

but just a moment later, an ASW TF attacks, damaging our sub and bringing it in a bad state. Chance to survive is good but floatation is at 45 after four near misses and a hit... only damaging a medium sized AK to have a sub being more or less heavily damaged isn´t worth it. Not even sinking the AK would be worth it. If the sub survives (it´s nevertheless quite a distance to the next major port) it will be out of action for at least three months with the sys damage received and the long way to Japan...

Sub attack near Lunga at 67,97
Japanese Ships
AK Nosiro Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage

SS Pollack
Pollack sits at Lunga (10.000 mines). The big AK is dead after one torp hit... The sub has been spotted for at least a week, but from my experience this has nothing to do if a sub is more vulnerable to ASW forces or air attacks...

we spot a (probable) supply convoy that reached Efate (staging base of the enemy fighters doing training runs to Luganville) and out of 100 IJN long range bombers I´ve moved to Lunga, only 18 launch. [8|] Efate is 12 hexes so no Zeros on escort. Was quite a gamble as Miller could have thought of putting his fighters on Cap as long as the TF is around. Will stand down the bombers next turn as he probably will then put up Cap. A Dinah III has been flying recon over Efate for weeks and will do so tomorrow, then we will see if there´s Cap or not...

once again the damned "follow unit" order isn´t working. Have set my Army in Manchuko to cross the Russian border, the lead unit stopped moving today and has reset itself to defend. [:@] Oh those bugs...
my troops should have crossed the border today, guess ALL but the lead unit will cross it tomorrow...

RE: it goes on...
Hi
What are your plans regarding Russia? What are main objectives and probable axis of attack? Are Russian troops still situated around Vladivostok or they retreated North towards Siberia?
And yes .. more pics please [:D]

main objective? [:D] Knocking them out! [8D]
Seriously, I´m pretty sure that Russia will collapse in a couple of months if Miller hasn´t suddenly become an expert in WITP ground warfare. I´ve got 18.000 assault points (guess there are "only" 16.500 in Manchuko though as a couple of divs in Northern Japan are also counted for the Manchuko garrison) and one of my most important weapons will once again be the Japanese wonder weapon - my tank units...
the tanks will advance into the North to Blitzkrieg there, backed up by several divisions. First target will be the area around Borzya. My main advance will happen in the South on Vladivostok and Ughlahamensk with dozens of divisions. Of course I will also take Okha (400 oil and 600 resources) and the far Eastern island base Petropavlask.
The Russian are static until they are activated so they are still where they always were. As soon as I have activated them, my troops won´t move further inland and I will give Miller two weeks time to redeploy his troops. My airforce will stay active in that time though.
More pics... well, there´s nothing happening... it´s just boring so the attack on Russia will bring at least some action...
RE: it goes on...
Well, i'm asking you about Russia because of this:
tm.asp?m=1733319&mpage=2&key=
Jumper AAR , allied player retreated with complete Red Army towards Irkutsk and that was kind of game over for Siberian campaign.
I don't know is Miller skillfull enough to do it same way but nevertheless you must use your tanks to split Red Army forces into 2 or maybe 3 parts and mop them afterwards [:)]
