Convoy News

Post by StoneAge »

I have worked out that my convoy table is wrong. I had all the ships going half speed. they where moving twice as far each day.

I wonder how many people have noticed this.
6.2.3 TASK FORCE SPEED
Regardless of how fast it is, no TF may move more than 9 hexes per phase.

a destoyer with a max of 35 can only really do 30 knots. This will change the way I do Surface TF with 30 being the max.
Over time, a TF will move the right number of hexes for it’s speed, but some pulses it will move 1 hex more than others (e.g. a TF with a speed of 10 will move 4 hexes 1 out of every 3 turns). This speed applies to both 12 hour movement pulses. So on the turns that the TF has a speed of 3, it will move 3 in both the day and night phases (6 total for the day), while on turns it moves a speed of 4, it will move 4 in both the day and night phases (8 total for the day).

only TF that don't do this are traveling at 10, 20 or 30 every thing else has a remainder.

Day 15-16 of attacks from Oosthaven todays taget: No target remove fat before the allout attack at Palembang.

These numbers are good (16 days 14:3(4.6:1))

Air Attack set for Palembang next two days.
Nell Unit from Singapore Airfield (Night)
Oscar Ic Unit from Oosthaven Sweeps
Zero Unit from Singapore Sweeps
Oscar Ic Unit from Singapore Escorts
Sally Unit from Singapore Airfield
Lily Unit from Singapore Airfield

China:
AdmSpruance is doing a great job in china. I have stacks sitting all over the place with 70% disruption. Does not matter how good the troops in a stack are if 70% won't fight. I put them on reserve to lower the disruption takes a few days. Once I have them back up to full strenght. They run into the forts they spent days getting rid of. Once I send in the attack AdmSpraunce hits them with 4 or 5 Air attacks. The B-17s are the biggest problem great range and bomb load and not a chance in hell to stop them bombing. His lighter bombers can be turned away some times but never the queen of the sky. I am going to stand down all attacks for a few days and then launch all my attacks on the same day. China for me is a pain I have decided not to buy to many extra forces into the fight. so far I think I have added about 1 unit per month to the china garrion.

Check out the damage the chinese can do with air support.

I think I may have gone a little mad.

I have put two Major Make Or Break Operation into effect.

I must start destroying shipping as I am losing big time. Every day that goes past is one step closer to better ships, planes, asw well better everything really and more of it.

Plan 1) Operation "Snow Flake"
I have started moving my Carrier force 3CV to near Truk. Also have sent 1x4 BB SCTF and 1x2BB SCTF to the same area. The plan is to raid the numea area. I hope that his carriers are away or in port. Mad I know but it is all a bluff to keep him on the back foot. I Could lose the war right here. I expect him to see a lot of force waiting around luganville due to the speed this area has expanded.

Plan 2) Oeperation "Hot Coco"
below I have been seeing lots of shipping activity in this area over the last few weeks including British CV's. The plan is to raid into this area, kill as much as possiable and get out and home in one piece.

I hope to suprise him and even if there is nothing there to kill the fact that I turned up there should cause him to have to turn some of his assets around to keep an eye ont he back door.

I read all the rules and worked out 7 hex per 12 hour period so in 24 hours it should go 14 hex.

Run the turn and to my suprise TF has only moved 15 in two days. No body set to follow and not following anybody.

Does the small green circle mean that the task force does not move at all on the first day, then moves two lots of seven for the next day not counting the hex it started in. That is the only thing I can think of. Will keep a check of this next 2 day turn.

Day 17-18 of attacks from Oosthaven and Singapore todays taget: Palembang , at 48,91 Airfield
Allied aircraft losses
P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed
P-40E Warhawk: 2 destroyed
P-40E Warhawk: 1 destroyed on ground
CW-22 Falcon: 1 destroyed on ground

Unit from Oosthaven shot down no planes today (18 days 14:3(4.6:1))

Air sweeps at the far end of Java, AdmSpraunce must be wondering if I am going to drop Para's on this end of the Island as he has his men spread out down here. He also proved to me how good his Intel was by naming the unit that was moving back into Praboemoelih.
Loemadjang , at 56,106
Allied aircraft losses
B-339D: 1 destroyed
B-339D: 1 destroyed

7:0 great work, bombers go in unprotected and get out without a single loss. Next turn bombers will sit on the ground as I expect him to put CAP above Palembang.

Clark field is capture AdmSpraunce loses 10000+ in retreat including most of his armour, Good thing I had the recon unit on pursuit this turn really adds to the Cas figures.

Moved only twelve hex this time including the one it started in. Devide this by the 4 phases and it gives you a speed of only 3 hex per phase.

I really need to get this sorted as what I aim to do is (2 Day turns):
Start Day 1)
Run in 7 hex in night 12 hour phase.
Launch Attack in next 12 hour phase.
Start Day 2)
Run out of range in night 12 hour phase.
Run out of range in 12 hour phase.

I think i know what i was doing wrong I was using the patrol to set where I wanted my ships to go. I think the default speed for patrol is cruise even though the speed shows on the screen as mission.

Lets see this turn I am moving into my kick off hex.

Looks like so far he has not seen me coming.

All is ready. The carrier force will rush forward for the first 12 hoursTo put them 6 hex away from the current position of enemy TF and then they will retreat back the way they came. I expect the enemy TF's to head toward christmas island that is why I am heading to the hex I have chosen. If they do head toward CI as expected they should still be within range of my strike.

One thing I am going to try today is to have the 66th. Who are flying out of Oosthaven fly cap over the sub with the TF. 50% Cap and 50% sweep I hope the sub follows the TF and then so will my fighters.

Looking at the list of ships in this area I expect to come up against 2 British CV's (Or am I just deluding myself time will tell).

I am worried about his LBA out of Batavia, I will be attacking his airfield there with night bombers and hopefully he still has them on land attack like he has for the last couple of turns.

The farce that is Japanese Carrier operation:
Allied: Morning Air attack on TF, near Enggano at 41,99 Weather in hex: Partial cloud
Allied: Morning Air attack on TF, near Enggano at 41,99 Weather in hex: Partial cloud
Japanese: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Batavia at 46,98 Weather in hex: Heavy rain
Allied: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Enggano at 41,99 Weather in hex: Partial cloud
Aliied: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Enggano at 41,99 Weather in hex: Partial cloud

So much for sneaking up on a spotted enemy TF. I though I should have got the first attack at least. When they do attack they fly only one half assed misson of only 9 attack planes, over 2/3 stayed on the deck.

66th did not fly as target was rest over night, will not do this in the future as it did not work.

Operation Hot CoCo.

The aim of this attack is to try and destroy as many surface units as possiable.

The 3 TFs will stream down between Fiji and New Caledonia trying to keep at least 7 hex away from and land base at Luganville,Efate,Nadi and Noumea. They will then turn toward Australia round the end of New Caledonia and head back up towards Shortland. Depending on ship damage and fuel they may even make a Surface raid on Noumea harbour.

The reason for staying more than 7 hexs away from his land bases. I do not want to risk my TF launching an air strike against a TF in a port where he has major airfields and most likely major CAP waiting

TF 461 is in the lead
Followed by 129 1 hex back
with 197 following 129 in the same hex

This should stop my aircraft carriers running into surface forces first.
