No problem, just ask away if you have more questions. One other thing that castor did that was effective was to keep the CVs in front of the invasion TFs. Too many players don't do that which is equivalent to a nice present for the IJN.
Exploiting the KB's 1 hex range advantage for all it is worth would be my advice to the japanese players. Shattered airgroups can be rebuilt (I replaced my carrier pilots 5 or 6 times over in the course of this war with negligible effects on quality), sunk carriers can't. And IJN flattops can be brittle. Akagi was heavily damaged in early '44 near Manila with 2x 500 lbs hits and nearly sank as a result (disbanded into Manila with 90 sys and 70 fires). The CV made Yokohama in October (!) and would have still needed most of '45 to be repaired.

RE: Now taken over by IGHQ...
ORIGINAL: crsutton
Ranier,
Would you put aside the usual combat reports and write a paragraph or three on your overall status and outlook for your side as 1945 begins? How is your economy, your stockpiles, what do your pools look like, what ships are you building, Do you feel like you are where you should be by now. What are your major mistakes over the campaign and what do you feel CT did right and wrong? What did you do right and wrong? Is the game balanced fairly? What are your major beefs about balance as the Japanese player? (No, we don't want to hear about Allied 4E bombers again [:D]) CT did a good job filling us in about the Allied side. Now it would be nice to hear your take on it.
Thanks.
ORIGINAL: Rainer79
No problem, just ask away if you have more questions. One other thing that castor did that was effective was to keep the CVs in front of the invasion TFs. Too many players don't do that which is equivalent to a nice present for the IJN.
Exploiting the KB's 1 hex range advantage for all it is worth would be my advice to the japanese players. Shattered airgroups can be rebuilt (I replaced my carrier pilots 5 or 6 times over in the course of this war with negligible effects on quality), sunk carriers can't. And IJN flattops can be brittle. Akagi was heavily damaged in early '44 near Manila with 2x 500 lbs hits and nearly sank as a result (disbanded into Manila with 90 sys and 70 fires). The CV made Yokohama in October (!) and would have still needed most of '45 to be repaired.
Please... don't tell him! he'll use it against your fellow JFB (me)... [:D]
I'd rather he learnt all the hard way! [;)]

RE: Now taken over by IGHQ...
Shame this aar ended, although I enjoy seeing the IJ side. You and Christian identified a lot of issues/problems with the game. At least most were looked at, some even corrected. AE is a better game because of it.
Thanks again to both of you for the game and the aar.

RE: Now taken over by IGHQ...
Thanks. I hope that Christian will come back again in the future as he really is a good player and a nice guy (even if a bit choleric [;)]).
One thing I should probably mention is that at the moment the sub war has mostly stopped for both sides. The US subs don't want to enter the areas where I can mass the late-war E types while most of the IJN subs have been pulled pack to get their radar and kaiten upgrades.

Night Air attack on San Fernando , at 80,74
Weather in hex: Moderate rain
Japanese aircraft
D4Y1 Judy x 7
No Japanese losses
As Chris had restarted his night campaign I ordered a few small attacks of my own. San Fernando was chosen as their were a couple of ships (PT-boats?) disbanded in port.
In reality unrestricted night bombing is an area where Japan can only lose for a simple reason. The 4Es will fly regardless of CAP but the japanese 2Es are sensitive about that. They won't get suffer many outright losses but even a few planes on CAP will by their very existence start the dreaded *unescorted bombers withdraw* messages. Too bad that you can escort nightly raids...

E No.12, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage
This is what happens when you don't pay attention to TF routing. Instead of fleeing directly east the ships are routed along the Chinese coast - with predictable results.
BTW contrary to the combat report none of the attacking bombers were even damaged. Apart from a random lucky 5" hit they are pretty much immune at 1k feet. So I would argue it is not only the allied flak that has problems. [;)]

E No.5, Bomb hits 2, and is sunk
E No.14, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage
E No.12, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage
This is what happens when you don't pay attention to TF routing. Instead of fleeing directly east the ships are routed along the Chinese coast - with predictable results.
BTW contrary to the combat report none of the attacking bombers were even damaged. Apart from a random lucky 5" hit they are pretty much immune at 1k feet. So I would argue it is not only the allied flak that has problems. [;)]

The Allied Death Star vanished again though the 4Es are working over any big airfields in the area. As I am scheduled to receive some restricted IMBs on Formosa within the next two months I'll take any delay I'll get.

I've started to slowly evacuate the Marianas. While I suspect a "deep" landing in my rear is feasible with the use of the Death Star I don't see it as Christian's style. The line from Yap to Truk is also still (lightly) defended, mostly because I don't have the transport planes to evacuate them with their heavy use around Luzon and Indo-China. [:D]

I've started to slowly evacuate the Marianas. While I suspect a "deep" landing in my rear is feasible with the use of the Death Star I don't see it as Christian's style. The line from Yap to Truk is also still (lightly) defended, mostly because I don't have the transport planes to evacuate them with their heavy use around Luzon and Indo-China. [:D]

RE: Now taken over by IGHQ...
Naturally any survivors were immediately railed out. Airbases along rail lines are far preferable in the endgame to limit follow-up losses (not that the 4Es miss much on their initial runs).

The first debut of the high-altitude Kamis. The Georges come in high beyond the CAP and didn't get intercepted at all. 9 hits out of 23 planes is not too shabby either even if the BBs are unlikely to have received serious damage. In the end Christian and I came to the agreement that I would stay within Corsair height while he wouldn't bomb the IJNAF out of existence through nightly 4E attacks.

The first debut of the high-altitude Kamis. The Georges come in high beyond the CAP and didn't get intercepted at all. 9 hits out of 23 planes is not too shabby either even if the BBs are unlikely to have received serious damage. In the end Christian and I came to the agreement that I would stay within Corsair height while he wouldn't bomb the IJNAF out of existence through nightly 4E attacks.

RE: Now taken over by IGHQ...
D-Day - 1
The Death Star has taken position north of Formosa and the invasion is likely to occur tomorrow somewhere along the northern coast. The IJA combat units are mostly concentrated at Takao as defending all the coastal clear terrain hexes in enough strength is impossible anyway.
