1EyedJacks VS Bullwinkle58: A knife fight has no house rules

1EyedJacks · Post by **1EyedJacks** » Wed Dec 05, 2012 11:56 am

Hi guys,

I've been transporting the 7th JAAF BF to Pegu from Bangkok with MC-21 Sally Transports that have a max load of 3k. Motorized support has a load cost of 15 but I can't seen to find the cost of the Sound Detector (J)...

In any event - I can't seem to transport the rest of this by air... I guess I can march them over to Pegu/Rangoon but I wanted to check and see if there's another solution or if I'm just doing something brain-bambaged.

Are you using Tracker? You can check the load cost in the Devices tab. It's 20 in DBB-B, possibly different in your data base.

Good call - why didn't I think of that? <grin>

So the load is 20 for the sound units and 15 for the motorized support. And the max load is 3k per MC-21 Sally Transport. So why don't they load for air-fairy to Pegu from Bangkok?

I'll keep trying for another turn or two but if nothing moves I'll be forced to march them. Is this WAD?

Because air transport has special rules. Things bigger than x (I forget the value of x) are considered too big to get into an airplane. Maybe (I forget) some types of things are not allowed on airplanes for similar practical reasons.

I'm pushing harder in China to catch up to Sir Robin (he's out there somewhere...)

I'm routing an entire army to Burma. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes to get there and should provide quite the surprise to Steve <grin>.

Balikpapan assault should hit in 2-3 turns.

I've been jumping through hoops this weekend. I just pushed out a turn to Steve but need to crash as I have an early day tomorrow.

I think the big news this turn is that Steve slipped mines around Johnston and one of my CVs ate one. The damage is not too bad - fortunately.

Singkawang fell so now I can start for Palembang in the near future.

- An xAP @ Midway? What is Steve up to?
- During operations for Balikpapin a CVL takes a fish in her flank. Not too bad though - off for repairs. Invasion should be 2morrow.
- Steve keeps flying 4Es against Miri but my Oscars seem to be doing the job on CAP. Few hits to infrastructure and lots of damage (never kills) on the 4Es. Hey - as long as I keep putting them in the shop for a few days they'll eventually roll an operational loss - right?
- Johore Bahru falls - troops are all on STRAT-MOVE to make the final push for Singapore.
- Steve is massing troops @ Clark - switching LB to pound LCUs
- I'm forward-deploying engineers with air support to bases closer to Singapore. The shorter the flight time to attack the base/troops the less pain to my air units and better survival rate for damaged AC.
- KB retires for fuel and air frames. More ASW TFs heading to Johnston. Airfield damage has dropped so I can maintain a healthy CAP. Mavis flying R10 Search and close ASW. Betties set to Naval Attack with torps.
- troops are pushing up into Burma nicely. As soon as Singapore falls I'll push another division up. That plus troops marching over from China should make Steve's eyes widen just a tad.
- I've set aside transport for two more divisions that have been prepping for PH. Another 15 days till operations kick off. Subs are cycling to Kwajalein for fuel & torpedoes. I've got a steady cycle going on with midget subs going after PH or Lahaina. He should be seeing those every 4-5 turns.

I take Balikpapin this turn. It was a little expensive on shipping though. I need to be adding a few CAs to my amphib forces... Also - every place I hit seems to have mines in the port. More sweepers in my amphib TFs too!

Still massing for Singapore - maybe 5 days before I push there.

Still running troops up to Burma. Engineers with aviation support too.

Driving in China. Steve keeps falling back but I'm starting to get a bad feeling... I'm gunna push more recon in China and see if I can pinpoint all of these damned troops that should be holding the line.

Steve flew some 4Es @ Johnston and I swatted them with Zeroes.

I'm starting a campaign to really go after his subs. Steve is getting too much mileage from them and I can do better at ASW - I just have never played an allied player that was so gung-ho about subs.

A pair of my DD get too close to Bataan in the PI and eat mines. I have no clues why they went into that hex. Maybe it was a routing thing (though I think I'd have noticed). I'm wondering if they spotted a TF of those piss-ant little PT boats and gave chase? If so then it was a Darwinian result.

I'm flying recons of bases in Sumatra to see where which air bases he'll be using and where troops are. There was a lot of activity at the northern tip of Sumatra so my wag is he dropped of defensive LCUs for some of those bases on the east side of Sumatra... But the point of recon is to see instead of guess.

We’ve been flipping turns today…

Malaya
2000 AV @ Johore Bahru resting. As soon as everyone has DF down I’ll push for Singapore.

I’m moving engineers with AC support to Johore Bahru also. Closer is better for air strikes if my AC get damaged. Plus cuts down on fatigue.

Sumatra
Yokosuka 1st SNLF Para drops into empty Djambi from Singkawang. It takes 2 turns to move a SNLF unit over with the transport AC I have there. I’ve since also moved over the 3rd SNLF and am sending over a base force for air support. This turn I sent over 18 zeroes to fly CAP.

LB out of Kota Bharu are flying in supplies to Djambi.

LB out of Kuching escorted with zeroes are attacking Palembang’s airfield. Steve has Hurricanes flying CAP. Steve is also flying strike missions attacking oil at Djambi.

My goal is to airlift in a pair of regiments behind the two para units and the base force. I’m hoping Steve will march over to Djambi and split his ground forces @ Palembang.

Burma
I move troops – they load up with DF – I need to rest them so I can attack. This disruption/fatigue thing is a bit much… Armored units cut through these troops like butter though .

Plenty of troops moving up the roads from Bangkok to Moulmein – it just takes time. Pretty much if I have a unit with 20+ fatigue it’ll take a week to move 1 hex. Truth is that it’s faster and less painful to amphibious assault bases whenever possible.

PI
I’ve been pounding his bases since December 7th. Keeping him sitting with several bases and then blasting the airfields eats up his supplies. He’s gotta be pretty close to empty. I’ve pounded some of his troops when they run out to retake an empty base that flips over to Japan. It’s kinda funny to watch Steve do this – it lets me pick off his units with overwhelming force. I think I’ll attack at the end of January.

Hawaii
Man! This campaign has sucked… I’m getting ready for the push though.

China
I’m racing now – pushing on him and eating up bases. Recon shows a *lot* of empty or near-empty bases. I think Steve is trying to pull all of his units into Burma… That seems totally brain-damaged to me as I can’t for the life of me figure out how he’d supply all of those Chines troops with the current bases in Burma. I’ve got an entire Army (grunts & armor down to arty & cooks) marching towards Hanoi so I can take the rail to Saigon – jump over to Phnom Penh – and then rail up to Pisanuloke. This army is gunna wear out some boots.

So around Palembang my air combat is paying dividends. Sweep then escort w/bombers. AF damage shows 27% with mouse-over, up from 20% the day B4.

At Singapore damage shows 8% while it was @ 34% last turn. I'm in the process of changing over Sally Air Groups over to Mary & Ann frames. Next turn damage should climb back up.

In China near Kweiyang I'm pounding his LCU with bombers from all over the map to suppress them. My armored units went from 0 to 30 miles in movement phase as they push to Kweiyang base. My intent is to capture that base and then lift in infantry to hold it, thus trapping several large enemy LCUs. Steve has enough Chinese units in Burma as it is - no sense letting him get more across if I can help it.

I hate to admit this but I just dee-scovered what them little stars (*) next to some of my ground units are for... I so wish I had a *real* manual for this game with all of the updates plus the MichaelM additions...

In the PI Manila should fall next turn.

In Malaya I'm still pounding the air field of Singapore. i'm pretty sure Steve is trying to do a Dunkirk and pull out troops from Singapore. I've killed a few xAP and APD that were headed to Singapore (I'm guessing from Palembang). I dropped a small surface TF with a CA/CL/DD and tapped a few of these 1-2 ship TFs Steve is using. Now he's flying TB air groups so it's time to pull this back. It was good hunting.
I also dropped in a small air combat TF that tapped Steve for a few more ships. It's good for me to bring in the ships every now and then to force Steve to divvy up his air group assignments.
I'm still pounding Palembang with AC out of Borneo also.
It looks like Steve ran Force Z or maybe a portion of it towards Balikpapan to go after some of my ASW assets. My ASW TFs are fast enough to out-run a BC (or at least they have been so far).

In Burma I'm loading up to take a swing at Steve's wandering Chinese troops. He pushed my 4ward units out of a couple of bases but the body of my forces are closing in.

In China I'm "chasing" him out of the country. I'll mass for Chungking and those bases in that area of the map plus I'll use air assets to knock his supplies down. I'm also starting to recon the trails/roads out of China to hit his troops that are on the road.

In the DEI I'm fixin to cut his forces off at the knees and work my way North.

For now Hawaii is a bust.

I’m starting to build up the Marshall Islands. In looking @ the bases available I am planning to maximize the ports, airfields, and forts of the following bases: Roi-Namur, Kwajalein, Wotje, Maleolap, & Jaluit. Defensively I’m thinking air power – Bettys or Nells are my primary mode of offense/defense. I also plan to toss in some PB for naval search, and handful of subs to forward patrol, and then keep a strong surface contingent around Truk to respond to enemy landing operations.

A question I have for fellow JFBs: What suggestions do you have for defending the Marshalls?

Imho the Marshalls cannot be really defended if you don't plan to garrison the Gilberts too. From Making down to Tabiutea (Tarawa included obviously).

Also Nauru and Ocean may need a couple of SNLFs too, in order not to give him any free entrance in those seas.

But, for 1942, i think it's wise to place 10,000 men each at Tarawa, Makin and Tabiutea and possibly an Air HQ Flottilla at Tarawa so you can cover both Tabiutea and Makin.
For 1943 everything changes, but if you manage to defend Marshalls and Gilberts for the whole 1942, you have already obtained a strategic victory
