I have prepositioned Subs along the KB return route. Maybe I will get lucky and get a real hit. Should be easier w/ the DDs split between KB sub elements. And if I get lucky these carriers are a long way from safe harbor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop .
Admiral Nagumo said, on the outbound trip to Pearl, that he was "most concerned about being detected by a submarine" - so there is
somethign to this. Doubly so because Japanese ASW sensors are very primitive at this time, their ASW weapons limited to coplies of old,
small (but admittedly world standard) DC. Triply so because there are not many destroyers with KB to begin with.
Even so - I wonder how he knows what "the KB return route" might be? I have no clue myself! It isn't trying to return - it is hunting -
whatever he may think. The only question is - which direction to advance in to find the best targets???

Sometimes it is just plain luck...to nail a troop convoy.[:D]
There is not much luck here. I didn't think he was foolish enough to send a TF so far into the enemy center of power.
There are bombers, submarines, cruisers and capital ships in range - and he has expended most of his heavy ammunition
and torpedoes. Not something I expected him to voluntarily do. Also - the report continues a trend I noticed elsewhere:
except for the ships sunk, there is nothing but operational damage on the targets. Remember - a "hit" includes even MG hits.

Refueling operations are a probem for the allies early because of no ASW trained air. so ElSid has staked out my major refueling sites w/ Iboats. Already took a torp into the Pensacola at Xmas island. This is probably an IJN doctrine violation. Note both Dutch Harbor and Tahiti are covered.
The Japanese actually had submarine officers with a clue. But unfortunately for them, there was (until the start of the war) but a single submarine position of flag rank. The typical submarine staff officer at a naval HQ was a mere LT, and his job was more to tell the subs what the boss wanted than to actually advise how submarines might be effective? On the other hand, the Japanese had some very evolved concepts of submarine warfare, and in places put them into practice. [For example, merchant warfare was used in the Indian Ocean, with effect - see Norman Polmar's Submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy, long out of print, but now back in - with a chapter on submarine doctrine - as well The Japanese Submarine Force and World War II - one of the authors of which is Akihiko Yoshida - one of the more successful submarine commanders. There is also mention of the doctrine in re how it impacted submarine flagship design in Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War. Finally, see Advance Force, Pearl Harbor (i.e. the submarine force) and the ideas and hopes put on the force: SURFACE admirals expected MORE ships sunk by subs than by KB itself! [Its author is the curator of the US Army Aviation Museum on Oahu, and the one who discovered evidence of a midget success on PH day, in an old photograph taken at the time, since supported by USNI and academic forensic examinations.] I actually try to use Japanese submarines PER doctrine. Or at least per A doctrine (They had no less than six of them). I am hunting WARSHIPS - not tankers. If his tankers get in the way - not my fault!

Sid can u recap all the bases you have added shipyards?
Generally, there are three classes of territory. Heavily industrialized areas, with some locations overdeveloped in
re shipyards. Here shipyards are usually as stock, and differ only for cause. I allowed the research that went into
the rational for major yards to stand most of the time. Developed areas that are more "normal" - where the value
of shipyards is related to port development. In the Allied system (they only get repair shipyards), there is at least
one point per point of port development. If the location is noted as a shipyard center in economic references, then
it gets 10 plus the port development level. Only for cause might it be greater. [My standard for shipyard size is that
the largest vessel known to be built there must be buildable by a yard there.] These two standards sometimes cross:
I assume stock shipyards are meant to include minor ones nearby. Since I have now added them, no need to keep
them in the major center. So - if the shipyard size is really huge - it may have been reduced to something like ten
times port development size. Oh - yeah - for the Allies - "damaged" shipyards exist to increase size up to the maximum
port size rated for the location - since the Allies cannot order expansion. So their control exists now- in negative form.
If you don't think it should be built - don't repair it up!
The third zone is undeveloped. This is most common in the vast ocean areas. Shipyards are rare as hen's teeth.
The only one in the Solomans is at Tulagi - and it is tiny! You can repair a ship at Tahita, or Fiji - but not most places.
At least not using shipyard ratings.
Because of riverine vessels, we need small river yards to account for where these are built or repaired? If we do that there,
we need similar ones everywhere. IRL Japan had 1200 wooden shipyards just for small craft, and that before WWII,
not counting the stuff you see in stock. There is almost no town, never mind city, on the coast in Japan without them.
I made it so in game terms.

RE: RHS 101 v 3 Test 4B: Malaya Report
The first stage is over - seize the ports and airfields of the Kra Isthmus - and land the 25th Army on them. Elements of the 18th Division pushed SE from Singora and Pitani to seize Kota Bahru - with little resistance - it fell to the first assault by barely more than recon elements. These, joined by a regimental combat team, are pushing South, with reinforcements strung out trying to catch up. Air power has been decisive here - and there is almost nothing left of the defenders of KB. 18th Division is in danger of taking mid-Malaya before 25th can make the longer trip down the main rail line on the backside.
25th Division - one of the more elite in IJA - over equipped with LMG - and semi-motorized - is finally assembling one hex North of Taiping. It is all ashore, but it (and considerable support attachments) are still strung out almost all the way back to Singora). It is dividing into two assault teams - a reinforced recon element is moving to seize undefended Taiping. The larger one is moving due West to take Georgetown - while the remaining elements catch up. It already took Alor Star. The drive South may be fast - recon is unable to find any defenses at all.
Guards Division is ashore and united into a single, gigantic combat team - but just starting to move down the rail line from the East Coast. Still more divisions are landing or en route from Bangkok - the entire Army assigned to Burma is en route here - so it need not wait for the fall of Singapore to start heading to Burma. But elements can be used if required in Malaya. We intend to mount the invasion of Burma out of Georgetown - by sea.
Prospects are, conservatively, the 100 days required to take Malaya will be more than cut in half. I think it is a nearly universal error for Allied players not to send reinforcements to Malaya. It fails to grasp the politics of the time. Nor is there any need to keep Percival as boss - he is the worst rated land commander of all - by far. Giving up the base complex and supply and resource generation of Malay early and cheap is in my view a strategic error. But on land, the most common Allied strategy is "bastion defense" - and it is hoped it takes a long time to reduce Singapore. I think taking more time to fall back allows for more supply generation to make it stronger. I also think reinforcements are essential - the early units are not enough to stand up to Yamashita's force, the best field arm IJA ever fielded.

RE: RHS 101 v 3 Test 4B: Philippines Report
Luzon has fallen except for Manila, Clark, Bataan and an obscure hex SE of Manila
called Gumaca. Manila is the economic heart - also the location where most reinforcements
arrive at - so we will take it out to minimize what the bulk of the forces - at the moment
on Clark hex - gat to eat. Mindinao has landings in the North and West - and is losing its
supply and resource generating hexes as well. It SHOULD be a bastion for air attacks (see
test 5A) - but it won't be.
The enemy is not defending the Philippines effectively. One attempt to
engage a single small combined arms team was the only attack. It failed.
[A regiment of infantry, an armor battalion and an artillery unit supported by
a HQ were enough to defeat a corps scale attack] Prospects are that the
Philippines will fall very much sooner than IRL.
Defending the Philippines generates reinforcements locally. NOT holding means the numbers of land units - and ships - do not appear. [RHS added many dozens of US Army patrol and transport vessels; stock already had most of the Philippine Army reinforcements] Most reinforcements appear at Manila, but some also on Mindinao. Also, Manila has significant industry and will generate supplies IF you keep it free of enemy units.
Not defending the Philippines means the enemy has bases - and forward supplies - to move against NEI sooner than history. I believe an integrated Allied defense should contest the Philippines and Malay hard, and fall back on an NEI that had time to build up fortifications. To that end, similar to the national defense policy of Australia today, I would commit every available aircraft and naval unit - and the higher quality land combat units - to engage forward - buying time - confident that the reinforcements to follow will permit defense of territories behind the front line by the time needed.
I do not have confidence in the bastion defense. Particularly in RHS with its focus on modeling logistics - land units of any given size cost more to feed than in stock - and on realistic air power: I am finding it is even possible to wipe out units before ground combat units can execute an attack ordered in the orders phase. The withering effects of bombardment on units that do not have enough supplies compound each other. Buy time, build fortifications, and contest everything you can.
Note that the Baguio City hex is malaria free - mountainous - a valuable resource center - and generates considerable supplies. It also has an airfield, and a garrison which is mobile (the Fort John Hay Column unit - stronger than any of the independent PA battalions - a thousand strong - with numbers of US officers and men mixed in its Filipino majority - and useful heavy weapons). Yamashita defended this area effectively enough we decided it was not worth the trouble to force his force into surrender - but got him written orders from Hirohito to surrender - a violation of Japanese law.
I am not saying you can hold the Philippines - it depends on what they throw at you - and how? But you can make it costly and time consuming to reduce. Units in mountains with supplies should be hard to reduce.

RE: RHS 101 v 3 Test 4B: The Cat is Out of the Bag
I lost that group that raided Truck - don't ask how? - never
mind lots of planes and ships (like the Bismarck really)
But we have our own raiders at sea - and they found a small ship
near Horne Island - which means he now knows the two other
TFs (presumably of transports) in the area have a problem:
this is a composite force of seaplane carriers, capital ships and
a cruiser/destroyer flotilla. It is not the only one either!

RE: RHS 101 v 3 Test 4B: Christmas Eve 1941
Those surface ships near Horne Island found a hole and hid in it. So did the CL and her
destroyers that raided Midway. Never mind, we are on the offensive - embarking troops
to invade targets at several points - and trying to disengage KB from detection -
which is why we raided Midway yesterday. I think the combination of B-17s and PBYs
is very hard to evade. A pair of strange PT actions today.

destroyers that raided Midway. Never mind, we are on the offensive - embarking troops
