What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J) = Allied Victory Jan 26, 1945

Mike McCreery · Post by **Mike McCreery** » Wed Mar 05, 2014 9:53 am

I have a headquarters question...

My plan is to assault Columbo.

The British Command HQ ABDA is located at Diego Garcia. The command radius for the unit is 9 hexes. Given that the command radius x2 = the operational distance to the target, the distance is 18 and the distance to Columbo is only 17 hexes. I believe this means that ABDA can act as the command HQ without needing to get closer to the battle. This unit is 100% prepped for Columbo.

The HQ Malaya Army, which is designated an Army HQ is assigned to ABDA. It's command radius is 5 hexes. If I strategic move this unit into Trivandrum it will be exactly 5 hexes from Columbo. Given that is the operational distance to the target this unit should be able to act as the Army HQ. This unit is 28% prepped for Columbo.

If I let the Malaya army reach 100% prep, will this give me the max possible bonus to the amphibious assault of Columbo? Also, what quality do I want to look for in the commanders of these units to maximize my potential bonus?

I just realized the 70th British division is not going anywhere as it is restricted. I have the 18th division at Diego Garcia but it will take some effort to get it up north as he still has excellent search capability.

It appears that some of the troops in India are strat moving somewhere. That means I am not going to trap him in a footrace to Dacca. It also makes the Columbo op more likely and more dangerous.

Now that Tojo's and Nicks are showing up it will be a while before I can gain air superiority again.

Since he is so far-flung already, I think it would be an excellent idea for you to convert all those Clemson DDs into APDs. They're perfect for using Fast Transport (or even Amphibious) to rapidly land at an uncontested location with a mostly-infantry force (Marine Raiders, Kanga Force, etc.). They also get an ASW upgrade when they convert.

I am looking in game quickly and have a bunch of Clemson class DD's in Sydney harbor. The upgrade for them is not until 4/43 and it is to a DE class.

Am I looking at the wrong type of Clemson or something?

If it was an either/or upgrade that you had to choose at the time I likely missed it as I have been trying to be religious in automatically updating my ships (but not changing class).

I have never done any significant upgrading so suggestions in this area are helpful.

Lokasenna · Post by **Lokasenna** » Thu Mar 06, 2014 6:50 pm

It is a conversion, not an upgrade [:)]. I am unsure if it remains available once you upgrade the ships for the first time.

You can look in Tracker on the Conversions tab for ship upgrades, and select "Convert to: APD".

India July 19, 1942

I am slowly moving troops toward Dacca. Couting all the troops in India I have over 7000 AV. The plan is to use 3000-4000 and move toward Dacca and use another 1000 or so to take out Darjeeling and the dot base(s) to the east.

I expect NJP to escape through the jungle toward Burma with many of the troops although he might just dig in around imphal.

NJP has 300-400 fighters massing at Dacca and Columbo and is starting an air war against me. Knowing that I will not receive a good amount of planes for years and wont start to see any until at least October I am pulling my air forces back. I do not want to lose all my good pilots due to inferior aircraft.

Hopefully the Flak will keep him ineffective at bombing.

Fiji July 1942

I am building up Savaii and moving a division to the island as Pago Pago is overflowing with troops. Once Savaii is built up a little bit I plan on moving troops to Hoorn or a nearby island. NJP has no problem throwing untrained troops at islands to overwhelm opposition so I need to move in 200 AV plus bulk to ensure survival

Also, reading the previous AAR's, NJP likes to use amphibious invasions as focal points for naval battles, he is really aggressive with his navy and likes to use it. My plans are for more hit and run tactics at this point.

Suva is not well fortified, most of the recon I have been able to gather lists around 3000 troops. Also, the bombers there do not have torpedo support. Noumea has an air flotilla or other device that allows betty's to use torpedoes.

It makes sense since point wise, Noumea is a much more valuable base.

Anyway, my objective here is to land 2 divisions plus support troops at Nadi and be gone before NJP can react. I am considering using the AP's that land the divisions and moving them west to aid in a consecutive invasion of Esperance but that is a lot of assumptions.
