Lambs to the slaughter (Lowpe (J) vs Jocke; BillBrown (A)) Finished

[Lowpe]

The first attack...

[Lowpe]

There is no God![:@]

[Lowpe]

New Hebrides action.

[Lowpe]

Definitely, no God.[:@][:D][:D][:D][:D]

[Lowpe]

Only a few AV short of 2-1. Really sure there is no God. Forts 0.

[ny59giants]

You will get no sympathy from Allied players when it comes to dud torpedoes. [:D] I've had a sub or two use ALL their torpedoes to get enough hits and a few explosions just to sink ONE xAK.

[Lowpe]

A bad roll halves my AV. Still, can't complain fighting in nasty terrain.

[Lowpe]

Siege of Chungking has started. How will stacking limits effect it?

[Lowpe]

1 hex away from a heavily escorted Betty strike of 45 planes.

I will attempt to draw some of his bombers off this next day.

Allies kicking me out of India.[:)][:)]

[Lowpe]

Boo! Hiss![:'(]

[Lowpe]

Allies up to no good.

[Lowpe]

I don't think I have seen anyone work on kamikazes in a pdu off game...some research here for you to enjoy.

It seems to me the best kamikazes are probably going to be Judy/Jill. These below seem to be prohibitively expensive or arrive very very late.

[Lowpe]

Other pdu off disappointments:

All Georges can upgrade to Shinden, 5 squadrons, but only after the last George.

All Jacks upgrade to Shusei, 4 squadrons, but only after the last Jack.

3 squadrons of Tojo can fly the Ki202.

4 squadrons for the Ki83, Oscar squadrons. Not bad.

Only 2 squadrons fly the Peggy T.

Only 3 squadrons for the Patsy.

No Myrt night fighters; only a half chutai for the Dinah Fighter.

[Lowpe]

I think where PDU off really hurts Japan is in the night bombing campaigns.

Japan is restricted to begin with the number of NF they can field, and given the upgrade path can't get as many squadrons flying as in a pdu on game.

I suspect that come 44 it will be very painful.

[Lowpe]

What Joy!

[Lowpe]

Back to the victory point well.

[Lowpe]

Central China goodness!

[Lowpe]

Strike force 2 cruises down to be detected...In keeping with my overall deception plan of showing very small carrier strike forces. They will head back for another operation.

This is as far south as they can go, as my land base air search effectiveness drops off substantially below here.



Allies have spotted TF Junyo north of the New Hebrides, the Yank sub picket line at the end of their naval search.

Time to go dark for a while.

[Lokasenna]

You may be asking for a carrier ambush here... he's got perfect DL on you, so he knows it's just 2.

Aren't the Toka and Tsurugi groups you're looking at training groups? Anything of 10 planes is definitely training, so those can't fly kami missions. They can train the pilots though! [;)]
