OK the intent of this game is fight it out v the AI

I asked for opinions and recieved such a mixed bag with some votes for all options that I am playing both options

1941/42 v the Jap AI
1943 v the Allied AI

OK Setting AI on Hard
Scen 2
3 day turns

My first job is to stop the Japanese offensive

I have one self imposed house rule - units may only operate outside of national boundaries if restricted if PP's are paid

Looks like Lexington tangled with a retreating KB near Wake and picked off more than Lady Lex could chew
 
But her SBD's managed to get a couple of hits in and the Japanese have a long way to go home
 
Begginging my turn 1 preparation and taking a long look around

I wonder how badly those two Japanese carriers were damaged. A 1000 pound bomb hit can ruin your day...

I will find out in 13 months !!!
 
Just finished India
 
OK issues lack of deployable assets
 
Air I have
 
12 Lysander's
4 Blenheims
4 Waipitis
12 Audaxes
2 DC 2's
6 Vildebeestes  
 
With about 8 more Audaxes and 12 Waipitis being released for active duty in next 3 days
 
All obsolescent and weak - not enough to defend India.
 
Also the stirring up of the wear declaration has meant that Calcutta is no longer fully garrisoned so I need to find a Bn or two to reinforce Calcutta
 
16/5thj Mahrattas are en route to reinforce
6/9th Jats/ 6/6th Rajputs and 1st Patalia Lancers (Indian Cavalry) as well
 
I will need to scrape around to find forces I can deploy to Assam
 
At present only Assam Rifle Bns are protecting the Indian Frontier

Great work Andy, and thank you for sharing the details.
The details clearly show changes to the AI over vanilla WITP....almost a whole 'nuther game.[:D]

I admit a prejudice for one day turns, and have limited (and very recent) experience with 2 day turns, but the risk of losing Halsey goes up too darned high to even consider 3 day turns.

Maybe WITP2 might have the ability to change turn length mid-game.....

I find 3 day turns against the AI to be a lot more fun - otherwise we as players micromanage to much because of our panoramic perspective
 
i.e. we get to much control

Becfause I am playing this one for real I am going away from History I am not sending 18th Div or the two Indian Bdes to Malaya and beginning a mass evac using my PP's
 
So elements of the Malay garrison will be withdrawn as ships become avaialable

Im a little curious as to what happened in that surface action Kongo and Haruna vs PoW.

Were told maximum nighttime visibility is ~12,000yards at present. Theres no contact mention of the Japanese becoming aware of the British force, while the British clearly have a radar contact.

And then the Japanese shoot first.

Isnt this a little odd? While I have no doubt the Japanese would have responded reasonably to such a night attack, the fact that they get they drop on the British here is pretty wierd.

One explanation I can think of is the British getting a little overzealous with their illumination rounds and proverbially shooting themselves in the foot.


Of course, on the otherhand in normal WitP I've seen Warspite singlehandedly trash both Fusos, Nagato and escorts in a night action in spring 42....



Otherwise though, I look forward to this, especially once you get into 42/43.

Thanks for taking your time.

No "almost" about it, Bob. It's been said before, but it bears repeating: if you play AE like you would play stock, you'll get your backside pummeled.

For me, the lesson was to relearn to use submarines properly. Took a long time, and cost me a lot of boats.

The AI now does a second attack on Pearl Harbor? Does this always happen with AI set on Hard?

Glad to see subs now hitting mines.

Great work Andy, and thank you for sharing the details.
The details clearly show changes to the AI over vanilla WITP....almost a whole 'nuther game.[:D]

I admit a prejudice for one day turns, and have limited (and very recent) experience with 2 day turns, but the risk of losing Halsey goes up too darned high to even consider 3 day turns.

Maybe WITP2 might have the ability to change turn length mid-game.....

No "almost" about it, Bob. It's been said before, but it bears repeating: if you play AE like you would play stock, you'll get your backside pummeled.

For me, the lesson was to relearn to use submarines properly. Took a long time, and cost me a lot of boats.




This is more good news, and maybe I need to be convinced (sometimes) with a hammer, but if anybody has any doubts, I am ready for AE..[:D]

Six BB's sunk at PH and the Japanese come back for a second day? "Very unrealistic", "losses too high at PH", "game engine is broken" . . . blah, blah, blah. I am sooooo glad that the AI has some variability built in. This is lookin' good.

Only 3 were sunk on day 1 the others succumbed on day 2
 
Between those losses and POW going down today that leave NO operational BB's in the whole theatre....
 
I have ordered a temporary base of operation in SOPAC at Pago Pago
 
2 CA's and 16 DD's along with 2 AO's and an AE for support will assemble to cover that area.
 
SWPAC an Australian/NZ and French Sqn is assembling at New Cal
 
Two ABDA Sqns are forming at Soerbaja and Darwin.
 
All of these sqns will be light on heavy hitters.
 
I am going to try and make a stand on Java and at Pegu in Burma
 
But the loss of those heavy war ships isgoing to make it tougher
 
More to follow
