but .......................


I looked at the ships sunk screen and found something unexpected. I beleive I-1 and I-2 are both Glen carrying subs. My guess is they tried to Mine Johnson Is but I beat them to the punch

December 20, 1941.

There has not been too much happening in the West. But they landed a force at Ternate and I was able to
intercept. Unfortunately, it looks like they got all the troops off before I arrived. Hopefully I sank some supplies there. I sent my SCTF back to see if they try to unload the one AK that is left.

[vettim89]

Out east things are about the same. First convoy with fuel and supply arrives PH next turn. The troop reinforcements for PH are about 3 days out. The troops for Hilo are still about a week out. Just need KB to stay away.

New invasion TF has appeared in the Solomon Sea and I got nothing in the area to help. The ANZAC cruisers are about 2/3 of the way to Auckland. Then they will run north to Noumea waiting for new opportunities.

[vettim89]

Forgot to mention that the IJA repeated the Deliberate Attack at Clark Field and again achieved a 1 to 1 which again lowered Forts to 0. However, this time the Japanese took 3000 casualties to 800 for Allies


edit : had a little moment there as far as the location

Darwin?? Did I miss something? I do believe my partner meant to say Clark Field. [:D]

[vettim89]

21 Dec 1941

Well we went from quiet to busy, busy, busy. My Minelaying TF arrived at Johnson Is only to find a IJN AMPH TF there. Two DM got roughted up a bit but several AK took it hard and the report said there were 500 troop casualties. It seemed the combat consumed enough ops points that there was no landing at all this turn. I marshalled together what few ships are at PH and sent them out in that direction. I worry about KB lurking out there and that this may actually be more of a trap than an concerted invasion. That said there were no attacks on a convoy heading to Johnson nor against a couple of AK's transitting the area that actually had fled Manila.

Troops came ashore at Rabaul and appear to be more than strong enough to take the base pretty quickly. They brought two Inf BTN and two Inf RGT. That seems like a lot. Perhaps they expected I had reinforced there. The TF seen yesterday rounding the Horn of PNG and are now three TF. There is a large TF NE of Rabual that has been lurking in the area for a few days. It's patrol pattern suggests a CVTF but cursor intel says SCTF. No intel on the TF SW of Rabaul

Again we see a Deliberate Attack at Clark Field. Again Forts are reduced to 0 and again the US engineers build them right back up. Casualties were 3000 for the IJA to 1300 for the US/Filipino forces. Still no troops at Manila.

Also a I-Boat was attacked by a KV off the Canadian coast. This was the first IJN sub spotted off the WC.

[vettim89]

22 Dec 1941

The IJN is flexing its muscles now. I had about 8 or so AKL that were trying to reinforce PM and Horn Island. Past tense is appropriate here as a BB based SCTF cleared the sea south of PM. THey are coming ashore now. Little hope to hold more than a day. Same thing up at Rabaul as the Forts were reduced to 0 on the first attack. Unfortunately I did not pay enought attention to the Port level at Auckland and the 8 " guns cannot be rearmed there. AE's heading to SoPac ASAP. My cruisers run to Sydney now for Ammo then back to Noumea. The TF with Houston, Boise and four old DD's is also heading to Noumea

Johnston Is fell to the first shock attack. My convoy that was heading to the island hoe to and was lurking south. A small IJN SCTf tried to intervene. No serious damage done but the Japanese DD all fired TT which means they should have none now. A USN cruiser based SCTF will sprint into Johnston this next turn and hoepfully cause some havoc there. The B-17 at PH all are now set on AF attack (Johnston Is) as I suspect they will be for some time. I plan to make the Japanese stay there very uncomfortable


AT this stage of the game I am running out of options
The IJA arrived at Manila finally so 3/4 of the PI fighter strength is withdrawn after the decent pilots are extracted. I have one unit left at Bataan just to keep the Japanese honest. My four-pipers missed the TF at Balabac by one turn and have retired to Tarakan. As SYST damage is building, I am sending them south.

December 22, 1941

And as normal, no real good news on the Western side of the map. They moved into Singapore this turn. I held, but it will only be a few days and they will take it. Looks like if the Allied commander wastes force Z, the Mersing gambit will work. I think it was expensive for them, I sank a number of xAKs and a couple had units on board. But, still it cuts a lot of time off of the Malayan campaign. I will have to think about better ways to combat this move.

23 December 1941

Grrrrrrr. Image says one thing: this is not going to end well for the Allies. CV Lexington SW of Canton Island was searching for two AMC that were spotted a few days ago. Instead she finds what I am guess was at least three IJN CV's. Lexington and CA Portland are sunk. CA Astoria is damaged and trying to make Pago Pago. Very upset at myself for getting suckered into this. Considering RL history where US CVTF were raiding the Marshalls and such, the USN was amazingly lucky they didn't lose a CV just like this early in the war. Only good news is the close proximity of Canton Is. meant some of the air group was saved.

More bad news: Johnston Island fell to the first shock attack. My cruiser TF went in and cleaned up everything invlved in the landing including a large AK and a medium sized AP. I guess I need to take my small victories when I can get them. The B-17's have already visited the island and will do some from now until the point I can retake the base.

Clark Field withstands another Deliberate Attack that came off 1 to 2 and cost the IJA 1600 to my 1500 casualties. Totaled up, this operation has cost the Japanese over 10,000 casualties in five days of fighting. They really seem to be taking an "all or nothing" approach here. The have conducted Deliberate Attacks five turns in a row - no pausing for BOMB even for a day. I get the sense that there may be some sort of hard deadline for concluding the Luzon Operation for them.

Rabaul fell this turn and PM held. My hope is that once these two bases go down, they will start to get careless again. Maybe they will try a land grab as far as the other SoPac bases where I can sneak in some SCTF to rough them up

Our opponents have continued to push hard. Considering we are not yet to the turn of the new year, and we will likely lose Singapore, Clark Field, and Manila in the next week. We have lost Rabaul and likely now PM. I suspect at least Noumea, Canton Island, and Palmyra are on the menu. I told Ken we will get the dubious honor of being the AFB who for all intensive purposes lost Luzon and Malaya before 1 January 1941.

[vettim89]

24 December 1941 (All is calm, all is bright - NOT!)

The Japanese CVTF drifted south and about did in Astoria but she's not dead yet. They did take out one of the escorting DD's though. I separated the remaning DD and it is running for Pago Pago. Hopefully the IJN will linger to take out Astoria. Good news is that this exercise cost the IJN 3 Kates and two Vals.

Enterprise made Penryn Is and has fully refueled from the AO's there. I am sending both groups south to Auckland. B-17's hit Johnston again and AF damage is up to 30. Will keep pounding away at this until its a nice medium well. At present I am considering how long I plan to let the Japanese have this base. I plan to wait at least a few weeks to see exactly what the Japanese plans are. The question is: was this just a land grab or is this part of a larger plan to possibly invade the HI? If it is the latter, I don't want to invest combat units to take it back only to have the Japanese come back in force and retake it. Ken and I will have to discuss this

The image shows one thing that has went well. Some of the longer legged AK's and the two AO's at Manila were sent toward PH on a circuitous route. As you can see they are almost home. They will all divert to French Frigate Shoals now where ASW escorts will meet up with them for the final leg. AM Penguin has already arrived at PH from its journey from Guma

The IJA backed down to a BOMB Attack at Clark. This allowed my busy little engineers to rebuild the Forts to level 1. I tried a Deliberate attack at Manila in case the IJA arrived with little supply and disrupted. That did not go well.

Remember to flip over the burger to cook it evenly - blast the port as well to make movement in or out more difficult.

Howdy vettim,
I know you guys aren't out of 1941 just yet, so I'm probably way waaaay early, but I'm on the edge of my seat with this AAR. I wonder if ya'll have noticed an itsy bitsy teensy weensy bit more difficulty building things, or fixing things, or keeping them planes flying, or finding places to load/unload/rearm.

Expect that the opening month ceremonies will play pretty vanilla, and know that the Babes nastiness won't all come together for a couple more months (for both sides), but just how does it "feel" so far?

Hey !! Tell your evil empire opponents to post some stuff too. We hurt them as bad as you, in different ways, and want their input.

Ciao Bro. J

Christmas Eve, not much happening in the West. The third Indian Brigade started unloading at Oosthaven this turn. The other two are almost done unloading at Benhoeken. The 18th British Division should start unloading in two turns. They have not attacked at Singapore for the last two turns. Probably trying to regroup.

[Nomad]

Hi JWE. I can tell you that having a maximum( unless I missed one or two ) of 3 engineering vehicles in the DEI and Malaya combined does make things a bit harder. I never seem to have enough aviation support ever, so it is always hard. I have not really looked at much else yet. I have few air units and most are not too good, except the wildebeests, they are great.

Thank you Nomad. I feel your pain. I truly do. But then I'm a bit of a sadist so get some relish for my burger from things being hard. Even though it's harder, looks like things are about the same place as nominal - suggests the other guys are finding it hard, too. Well ... stuff be happening in mid '42, so I will wait with baited breath.

JWE,

Thanks for stopping by. Well the first thing I hit was not being able to reload my cruisers at Auckland - ouch. I am convertng some extra AE's to help with this. As far as the loading unloading thing, Ken may be better able to comment on that as some of the nefarious things he's doing in the DEI/CBI might better reflect DBB's nuances so far. One thing I am doing out of necessity is a lot more AMPH TF vice TRANS. Also AKL's are you friend in this mod as not being able to dock is a bad thing with so little Nav Support around.

This stage of the war is good for me as I am getting some good feeling for what can and cannot be done. Our opponents aggressive course does mean we need to pull back a little deeper into the eastern Pacific to set up my initial bases. I do not want to risk losing any of the major BF's with good Nav Support.

I am not deep enough in to feel the Av Support squeeze yet. That will require some more planning in the very near future

[vettim89]

25 December 1941

The first Christmas

CA Astoria succombs to her wounds during the night. The rest of the USN ships in the SoPac are retreating to Auckland now. The TF with CA Houston and CL Boise has arrived at Noumea and has refuled. They joined with a couple of RAN/RNZN cruisers to make a nice little strike force. CL Marblehead and four DD's are heading that way too but will probably stop at Sydney to repair some minor damage.

The second Marine Div is unloading at Hilo now along with some BF help, CB, and some Av support. Question is to I put the whole stack at Hilo and concede Kona if the Japanese try a HI invasion or do I split the AV between the two bases. Really need to get some more troops ashore on Maui too. Lihue will just have to wait. I get some little in terms of unrestricted infantry over the next few months. With Ken using a lot of PP to move stuff in the DEI, I will just have to make due with what I have.

Johnston Isl. continues to be hit but to my horror I discoverd the B-17E's caannot reach there from PH. THe -D model can so those units will not upgrade for a while. My LB-30 pool is growing and one of the -E sq may get those or one of the B-18 sq scheduled for that model may be upgraded and sent to PH.

The IJA did nothing at PM this turn. Do not know if that was just an oversight of if there are issues are far as supply and/or disruption. With my NavSearch units pulled from PM I am not a little blind in this part of the map.

The IJA went back to Deliberate Attack at Clark Filed and we hold again. The image shows the losses. By my count we are in the neighborhood of 12k IJA casualties here with a lot of destroyed vehicles. That will cost our opponents a lot of HI to rebuild. Forts are at 90% to level 1 again; so if they don't follow up with another immediate Deliberate attack this turn the will be back up next turn. Huge mistake on our opponents part here not allocating more resources to elminate the USAAC forces on Luzon. When I have played the AI, it always has destroyed the P-40 strenght there by the end of the first week. The bombers are then able to roam free to damage Clark and Manila to keep the forts from building.

My note to Ken about the situation is we are doing quite well. Yes we are being pushed hard but the Japanese aggresive opening moves have cost them a lot. They have lost over 100 Nellies to date and almost 50 A6M2. With some important battles pending, I suspect the losses will be even worse for them in the coming month. Their shipping losses have been relatively severe with several invasion forces completely wiped out after the troops were ashore. This means that what troops did make it are short on supply too. Anxious to see where our opponents decide to head next as SIngapore, Manila, Clark Field, and Hong Kong are all haning by a thread right now.

[Nomad]

Well, Christmas day. Things are not looking too bad. Our opponents have done some intense expansion, but at times it seems disjointed and not well executed. Why did they not cap the convoys at Mersing? they lost a number of ships there and some troops. Why did they take Kendari in the first two days of the game and then do nothing more for over a week?

Anyway, I now have three Indian Brigades in or around Palembang and the 18th British Division will start unloading next turn. Much of the III Indian forces that were in Malaya are now in Palembang. I have been moving all of the Dutch forces I can to Palembang or Oosthaven. I have changed the HQ on some of them and moved them by ship and the ones that are permanently restricted I have been moving using some of the patrol aircraft. When Singapore falls, which will not be long, I will then use all of the patrol and transport aircraft I have to move PR Dutch units. Roughly speaking, I expect to have some 1500 to 1800 AS in the Palembang area soon. Plus, all of the British air units from Malaya are there too. I now have minelayers in Palembang with about 400 mines loaded. I am reserving them and will try to lay mines just before the invasion arrives. I am also thinking about putting 4 Dutch/British CLs at Palembang also. It is a river entrance and large ships( ie BBs ) cannot enter. It might be a cheap surprise.

I still haven't seen any move into the Southern part of the DEI. I have a small CL/DD force and some bad Dutch MTBs at Ambon. I'm mostly just waiting form them to try and expand further without proper support.

BTW, we will be continuing, one of our opponents has had some long RL days that are supposed to be over after today.

[Nomad]

I am going to try and put two pictures from tracker of the air losses. I am quite happy with our air war so far.

I am sorry about the quality of the pictures, but I am restricted to 1MB size.
First is Allies:
