ENLIST TODAY (Docup (A) vs Koniu (J) No Koniu
Moderators: wdolson, MOD_War-in-the-Pacific-Admirals-Edition
RE: Attack, Attack, Attack
ORIGINAL: DOCUP
Ok guys. Me an Koniu were just talking about our Night bombing HR's. We have it as no mor than 3 night attacks in a week this was before the patch. I accidently violated that last turn and actually scored some hits. He is open to changing it. From what I see now night bombing seems kinda right ops loses go up don't hit much. What do you all think.
The night bombing requires some skill to corrdinate and plan so I have no HR agasint it in my game. Moonlight is a very important factor .. most raids come in uncoordinated and this increases the effectiveness of flak while cutting down the effectiveness of bombing.

P38s sweep and they shoot down 2 Oscar Ia. P38s will stand down and rest P40Es will sweep tomorrow. Number of fighters went down to 28 from 100.
Henyang
We bomb the Jap units in the open hex just south. 337 KIA's have been reported. Not bad for just 2 squadrons.
Mandalay
We are planning a raid to finish off the cont unit here.
North Oz
Pulling units out.
Marshall Islands
Wojte falls. We now have control of 2 atolls. Koniu stated that this operation caught him with his pants down. We are now moving the assualt units off the atolls and moving in the follow on forces. Lots of targets now. LBA fighers are on both islands. Carriers will move back to provide some safe distance incase the KB arrives.
Intel has 2 units on board ships moving to Tarawa, and Tabiteuea. I am moving small TFs into the area. I have one CL SAG right in the middle of it all, they were spotted today. They will move deeper with hopes Koniu won't expect this. Other SAGs are moving into the area to hit the TFs when they reach their destinations. Nav search archs should spot them.

We hit the port and nail 2 xAKs both left with heavy damage and heavy fires. Lost 2 2E bombers to flak.
Akyab
Japs have now moved away from our forces.

We hit the const unit but do mod damage.
Ambon
Japs nav bombard.

Our CL SAG meets a Jap DD SAG. CL Nashville takes a couple of hits and a TT, mod damage, she should be able to make Ndeni. Unless something attacks them. I have P38s flying LRCAP. 2 Jap DDs were left with heavy fires. I hope they both sink, but they are close to several bases.
Wotje and Maoleolap
Most of the 2nd wave is on the island. Still trying to get the assualt wave off. I think I will be overstacked with all the 2nd wave units. We will wait and see.

I overstack the intial invasion always .. it is an advantage to the attacker. I just bring along extra supply and I am ready to absorb the 1 disruption per turn penality [plus the double supply penality] I am also ready with the engineers to build up the ports to get the stuff back off the Island quickly ..

RE: Attack, Attack, Attack
I did bring extra supply. I guess I can't count. I am over by 3k. I thought I was going to be closer to the stacking limit than that.

Koniu will be busy watching the Polish soccer team play tomorrow. In honor of Koniu I wish them the best and good luck. He might not be able to do a turn tomorrow, so I will take my time.
China
I am going to be sending some Hurri IIc's into China. Hopefully they will be able to sweep some bases and destroy the Oscars here. P38s are not good here because of there high maintence values. I will rotate in and out 2E bombers to take shots at the Japs.
Marshall Islands
Starting to wind down the operational tempo here. Canadian fighters are being moved down here. 2Es will make appearances from time to time.
I am probing his nav search archs, to see where I can raid. I am now going to see what fighters are best to challenge his. IE China has mostly Oscars, I want to see what will deal with them other areas have Zeros or a mixture.

RE: Attack, Attack, Attack
My thoughts
China
I am thinking of moving some British squadrons into China. These would be some of the older planes (Hurri IIb, Mohawks etc). My thinking is that they can handle the Oscars that are currently in this AO. I would pull out some American P 40E and P 39 squadrons. Not saying these are better planes, but I get more of them.
Koniu has not been CAPing bases in China. I have been sweeping some of his bases with no oppostion. Can't really blame him. I can't bomb to much or I will use up all my supply. So every now and then bomber will make an appearance.
I don't know where he's going to attack next. Luichow, Nanning or the Changsha area. I have forts up to 4 in just about all my bases and as much AV and I can in each base. I am trying to scrap up a reaction force. I don't see much going on around Sian area. I see that he is prepping for it but has a long way to go. I know most of his IDs are down south close to Luichow and Changsha areas.
Burma
Bidding our time. Waiting for more troops and planes. Not sure were going to get more planes but need some more ground troops.
P38s are repairing. When they are mission ready they will fly againist Rangoon. Once we have swept the skys some 4E's will come in and hopefully catch some Tojo's on the ground.
BB's are moving to bombard the stack of LCU's south of Akyab. I know that this can draw out his fighters and bombers. But escorts get chewed up by CAP. I have good exp and skilled pilots at Akyab.
Ambon AO
Waiting.
Solomons
Will do small raids. I think Koniu is or was expecting me to advance through here. I might make a move later on PM but I am thinking of moving on Miline Bay and Tagula Island. Koniu has built up the AF at the later. This would block most supply to PM. I might get lucky and he would withdraw from PM.
Marshalls
Makin is still in Ailled hands but unoccupied. I am planning on putting troops here. Building up the AF so I can put pressure on Tarawa and Tabiteuea. My problem is. I have 2 carriers that need yard time from TT's and the other 2 need their 7/42 upgrades. I also want to use some BB's to bombard these two bases and see if I can destroy some AC and damage the AF's. Another problem is I don't know where the KB or MKB is at this moment. They could be in the yards for their upgrades. I can get some ships behind Makin to act as screens.
NorPac
Waiting. I think that the intell of him prepping units up here might be a ruse. But I will leave what I have here untill I know for sure.
