That has to be every Allied players dream in the first couple of months, seeing Force Z vectored onto something juicy and vulnerable.

this is what mostly CA Haguro did to our cruisers:

As per usual then the Japanese punched well above their weight.

A Japanese heavy cruiser at anchor, pants down, outnumbered and outgunned by several orders of magnitude, in broad daylight, managed to damage quite badly 2 light cruisers and a DD.

that's why I think a USN CA spending 1500 shells should also be able to hit two enemy DD in broad daylight.

Sub attack near Babeldaob at 91,96

Japanese Ships
xAK Teiryu Maru

Allied Ships
SS O16

SS O16 launches 2 torpedoes at xAK Teiryu Maru

yeah, Allied subs, they suck... as great as I find split tubes, I wonder if that means having reduced the hit rates by a ratio of 2 or 3 too... usually my subs just miss targets like slow freighters, in this turn two attacks, both missed...

was there anything done to accuracy of the torps or whatever to model real life hit rates with real life spreads compared to the fantasy stock game spreads and the resulting hit rates? I guess there was, so is this just bad luck or will the total hits just go down to 1/3 of what was low in stock already as the subs are now firing only 2 torps instead of 4 or six on ships like freighters?

ouch, that was a pretty severe bombardment... I'm 100% sure the enemy will bring enough to take the atoll easily, he knows exactly what I have there so figuring out what is needed to take the place isn't all that hard... too early for me to have a chance to react, the small number of convoys that have left the West Coast with meager reinforcements for the Pacific will arrive weeks after the Japanese rushed through the area...

184 mines cleared

seems like the enemy wants to move out that div that helped taking Hong Kong as soon as possible so he clears the whole minefield in a day or so... it's really a pity that the number of mines was so drastically reduced in AE (which was good) but the ability to clear mines was untouched so we may now have a more realistic number of mines at bases but still an unrealistic way to clear them... oh well, don't think mines will sink more than a dozen ships per side in the whole campaign so it's only an annoyance...

two freighters tried to move through that area but here one can again see that it has been a failure IMO to create a bullet prove mid ocean intercept routine... two ships moving alone during the night in a 45 mile hex with 0% moonlight and both ships are of course intercepted... yeah... there should be die rolls if the ships are found or not and not 100% of the time an auto surface combat happening no matter how good or bads the conditions are or if it's an armada of 1000 ships or 1 small xAKL... my 2c on the matter, like it or hate it, agree or disagree...

the enemy was spotted to move on Merauke (spotted as DD/DD/DD/DD - so I was sure it would be a fast transport, also from the speed it was moving along) and I had British cruisers in the area so I guessed the enemy would go to Merauke and I set my cruisers to intercept... this again shows how well bluebook is playing, even though he didn't spot my cruisers last turn, he placed two TB right South of Merauke, right in the way of my incoming cruisers... very well done for that...

now what am I supposed to say about the naval engagement... my cruisers suck once more, at 1000 yards they are not able to deal with two IJN TB... very well done, very well done... this not enough, firing a dozen shells and not causing any frigin damage, this also means my cruisers TURN BACK and are not proceeding to Merauke to attack the fast transport there...

well done, very well done...

Yep he seems to be very good. You just have to let him have his way some times and make sure you do not lose anything that you can't replace. Territory can be recovered-dead carriers can not. That was a nice pimp slapping you gave him in the DEI. Not going to win the war but will make him play a little more closer to the vest.

he is, he truly is. As it stands now (nearing Feb in the game and the AAR being behind) he really seems a guy who's going to bring me to the edge of defeat if he continues like this. But as you say, territory can be recovered and I'm usually careful enough not to lose my carriers early enough but you should never say never, who knows what he's going to pull out of the hat. I´m trying to catch up with the AAR asap, doing usually two turns on weekdays and more on the weekend I think I am hard pressed to follow the game with the AAR. [:D]

But I can already say that this campaign will be an interesting one, really interesting.

if we ignore what happened at Kendari where he took the risk to send in his invasion without any cover force (mind you, nothing would have happened if Force Z wouldn't have been waiting nearby) he would have overrun me without any real losses so far which perfectly shows how well he puts his invasions forward. Ok, of course he knows exactly what I have where at this stage of the war and there is nothing I can do about it but still, never experienced such an enemy advance in all the years. Pheewww...

It'd be interesting to see how he does when the war becomes more reactive in nature. I think in the early war the script is well known, and an avid planner can make hay given full knowledge of the map and all the old tropes which are going to play out.

Later on, it's much more up in the air. Fog of war descends on the globe, and the game becomes much more open ended as well, with much wider scope for operations.

after the two TB that were placed South of Merauke were able to fend off the attack (without suffering damage) of my two Brit CL and two US DD, we had another Brit CL/DD in range and sent them in to Merauke... we arrive, locate the fast transport and put four shells into it... well done Allied Navy, well done...

xAK Knoxville City, Shell hits 10, heavy fires, heavy damage
xAK Crown City, Shell hits 8, heavy fires, heavy damage

so much about that... in the middle of nowhere around Alaska, two enemy cruisers drive right into that empty convoy that was heading into the area... my convoy was not spotted before, my 12 PBY in the area didn't spot the enemy cruisers... result is the whole convoy sunk, all ships... pretty much what I said earlier, you don't have to fear the AMC of the enemy but you do have to fear a cruiser with some escort... pure luck to stumble into this convoy, but well done, a nice raid... this is my ONLY convoy bigger than 2 ships in the whole region North of San Francisco... the cruisers sure retire, they probably spent most of their ammo and if the IJN spends some shells it's well worth it... losing those AP is a loss, the KV and xAK, well, those are expendable...

if our heavy cruiser firing 1500 shells can't hit two enemy DD at 10000 yards, how can an enemy DD hit a PT boat at 17000 yards? I bet one could even find an explanation for this one if he has enough fantasy... [:'(]
