well my first ever AAR, so bear with me...
of course suggestions are welcome.
First off my opponent:
Joe S. from the great state of Illinois. I have played Joe twice already, in Dababs Guadalcanal and had my butt handed to me before November. I feel Joe is very patient and very well versed on the mechanics of the game.
I felt like myself boxing Mike Tyson in his early days, KO'ed in round 1. (I still have my ears)
We choose this scenario as the Allies are loaded and it might give me a chance.
In addition we are about a 10 days into the campaign. (sorry we didnt start off on day 1)
boy, what a bevy of ships/air and supply, I better not lose or I will have to go back to the Avalon Hill games.. haha.
My early goals:
1) Be patient !
2) Pound his airfields (I still have nightmares on his Betties pummeling me in Guadalcanal. Truk and Ponape are first.
3) Take Wake
4) Build an air base at Manus, now changed my mind and will attempt it at Hollandia
5) Sub patrols !!! Key for me to disrupt his shipping lanes.. The allied version of a wolfpack will be around Babeldob/Pelilu as he probably will use waypoints.
6) Move infantry and supplies to Tarawa Majuro and stage there before I hit Pagan and Tinian
7) Disrupt his supply ships is probably key to the game.
Brief update as we are at May 30.
I am pounding the heck out of Truk with B-24s/and Panape
I have CV TF attempting to 'sneak' past Truk and get into range of Babeldob area and CV TF attempting to get to Tinian to smash his air.
Wake being bombarded by BBs/CAs
DD Hancock sunk by a blasted sub...(rats !)
Screen shots will follow
