The port at Kobe is smashed, all of the ships in port sunk. Air battles wage across the skies all day. Then the armies begin to clash. A mountainous hilltop known as Kofu yields to the allied army. A nothing place, you might not even know it was an army base. However, the trail of wounded traces back to the city of Tokyo, just a few miles away...
The allies have gained the mountains just west of the city and now look down on the Capital of Japan.
With western Japan all but lost, and the capital under the merciless eyes of the allied horde there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
To prevent the further suffering of the Japanese people the leadership has agreed to an unconditional surrender. The game has ended sooner than I predicted on January 26, 1945.
Final score is in post 2169. Not many people noticed the game was won weeks ago. I would have to go back and see if I could find an old copy of a previous turn to get plane losses.
The closest I could easily find was 1 week game time before the end. Here is a screenshot of the top aircraft losses.
There were several important points to the game in my opinion. The first was when NJP got out of position and had a conflict with a carrier force southwest of Australia. His carrier fleet suffered damage and required repair.
The next interesting point was when I coordinated 3 attacks up the coast of New Guinea bypassing his first line of defense.
In India I almost managed to trap an army and then later in the game in 1943 grabbed Ayuthia without contest by surprise and cutting off his forces in indochina.
Finally, I managed to isolate Formosa and trap 1000 AV of troops and over 1000 tanks and work my way up the coast of China and cut off 3 major Japanese armies. Once that was completed he no longer had the troops for a determined defense of Japan.
Another major move was to bypass the Jima's and take Shikuka which gave me a devastating advantage on the east side of Japan.
This was my 2nd campaign against a human player. The first one ended in May of 1942. That game ended due to real life issues and the fact that the Allies had already mounted a counter attack early in the game.
This game was DBB which is Da Big Babes Scenario 1. There are major differences between this game and the stock scenario. For one, it uses an extended map which is slightly different than the stock map. The game uses stacking limits to more realistically model troops that are packed up on top of each other. And the AA fire is much more effective in these scenarios. I preferred this over the stock game.
What I have learned over the 3 AI games and 1.5 human games is that the crux of the game lies with the Japanese carriers. Once Japan loses naval superiority the game can go downhill quickly. NJP still had a decent carrier force left when the game ended but against well trained allied carrier pilots in Hellcats he couldnt gain a tactical advantage.
Another major thing I learned for myself is that distance is a huge factor in air wars. I read about how much better this plane is compared to that plane and about air tactics, etc. What I dont see much is any discussion about the advantages of home field advantage. I look at 5 hexes or less to be within range, not farther than that. If an enemy has to fly 6 or more hexes to a target I know that I have a significant advantage.
My weaknesses in this game were lack of follow through planning on several major moves. Also, I got cocky and got 3000 points of AV losses handed to me because I played too close to the Japanese coastline. Other things include ignoring certain regions when conflicts heated up elsewhere, etc. I did not utilize all my troops effectively, 2 or 3 divisions sat up around alaska for a year or two before they were utilized, that sort of thing.
I watched you shotgun multiple landings and marvelled at how you could plan, assemble and execute so many complex ops at the same time!
No wonder he had difficulty finding a way to defend.
Gotta hand it to both you and NJP for hanging in there when the going got tough. You could have quit when you lost all those carriers that reacted into Fusan's mines and forts, but you hung in to see how an invasion could go. He had far less defence than I thought on the home islands.
Now hang in there in your rematch and make it as much fun to watch once you get some toys!
