OK guys with only 2 PBEM's and String still off on exams and PZB away for the week I decided to start a v the AI game.
Some special rules
1. This is my own personal Ironman+ mod so I am playing the allies v Japan AI on steroids
2. No PDU this is a huge advantage for a player
3. 2 Day turns to minimise my command and control advantage
4. AI set to Hard.
5. Game is set to AI v AI on normal for 3 hours and then I step in at whatever date that is to take over the allies.
Just waiting for the last few minutes of the 3 hour limit to expire then the fun begins
Andy Mac v the evil empire

RE: Andy Mac v the evil empire
January 23rd 1942 after the string of disaters encountered by the allies in first 6 weeks of war all higher commanders are immediately sacked and General Andy Mac (AKA the Butcher of Escort Carriers) has been apoointed to supreme command.
I am reviewing what I have inherited at present and trying to work out next steps
Naval Sitrep
Japanese AI has lost 3 Subs, 2 Destroyers and about 20 other ships all x AK's
Allies have lost 4 BB's all at PH with POW and Repulse still afloat but crippled, 4 Cruisers about 15 Destroyers and about 200 other ships sunk
Looks like Force Z is stuck at Singapore with POW in Dry Dock for crippling damage so getting them out will be a priority - 3 other BB's are out of action at Pearl.
OK doing the quick rounds
Malaya - looks like allies are stuck at Singapore a large Japanese army has just captured moulmien and looks like that campaign will not last long.
PI - on Luzon allies are dug in at Bataan
Borneo and Souther Celebes are under attack with some bases captured and lots of japanese TF's at sea
Rabaul has fallen and Buna is besieged, a TF is heading towards PM I may not have time to fix that one.
Canton Island has fallen.
In general the position looks desperate

RE: Andy Mac v the evil empire
on more detailed review Burma is a mess 63rd bde was destroyed at sea - Rangoon is trashed and the AVG has been all but eliminated Tavoy has fallen and Japanese forces are en route to Moulmien and I have two weak Divs to try and delay them
malaya is also a wreck with most of my precious reinforcements there including 2 Indian Bdes and 18th British Div [:@][:@] - I doubt any player would send precious reserves to malaya but the AI has - Singapore AF is still open but over 20 Japanese units are across the strait

RE: Andy Mac v the evil empire
OK interesting Singapore still has teeth I love the Vildebeestes can I place an express order for more......they are great !!!
Apart from that more or less as expected I need to evac a few more troops and think about the next line back

RE: I WANT MORE VILDEBEESTES !!!!
Yeah, I have found the Vildebeeste to be a very handy aircraft in the early going. In our PBEM in early January '42 Vildebeeste and Swordfish operating out of Singapore put three torpedoes into Zuiho and one into Hosho off Mersing. The more celebrated Swordfish only contributed one of the Zuiho's fish, so it was the Vildebeeste that made the difference. The Zuiho went down but the Hosho apparently was saved.
fair winds,

RE: I WANT MORE VILDEBEESTES !!!!
A small update the AI is doing well at keeping both Singapore and Bataan supressed and is polishing off Timor and the Celebes at pace my SCTF's are scattered and the allied AI lost a lot of DD's before I took over so i am wary of committing.
The writing is ont he wall for both of these bases.
The AI has only put a holding force in place at Bataan 48th Div and 19th Div are both missing I cannot remember what I tomld the AI to do in that particular variant !!!
The IJA launched an ultra early attack on Midway with the Guards Mixed Bde I rustled Enterprise and Saratoga out of Pearl at flank but by the time they got there the Jap ships have pulled back and the whole Bde is ashore I suspect its a matter of time.
In the South Pacific I am assembling a nice little Cruiser force at Townsville I have about a Div of Militia at both Milne Bay and PM the AI has committed me to a fight to try and hold both I am not sure its possible....

RE: I WANT MORE VILDEBEESTES !!!!
In Burma the AI is driving up from Tavoyt with the 33rd and 55th IJA Div in the lead the weakened 17th Indian Div (minus 1 Bde) and badly understrength 1st Burma cannot stop that force
