Operation Kneecap - Mundy (J) vs. castor troy (A) - (restricted)

Post by castor troy »

Hi!

This is Mundy's and mine rematch, switching side.

We're going with same settings, same scenario and same house rules as our last match.

DaBigBabes B, extended map.

House rules:

cease fire in China at start
no Allied strategic bombing of Japanese held Allied territory
no 4E bombers on nav strike below 10,000ft (except USN bombers)
no IJ strategic bombing in China
pay pp for restricted LCU crossing borders
limited tactical night bombing, has to be discussed if a side starts this excessively, strategic night bombing without limits

Pearl Harbour attacked!!! In a bold move the Japanese Empire brought several aircraft carriers into position near Hawaii and launches an airstrike against the Pacific fleet...

lots of damage done but this is Babes and bomb damage isn't as severe as in vanilla but due to a magazine detonation we outright lose BB Nevada... no other BBs were lost and if there isn't a second day strike we will do just fine... actually I'm glad Mundy went for Pearl as I always fear KB in the SRA way more than bombing Hawaii's old battlewaggons even though I hate losing any major ship... Mundy kept a lot of his fighters strafing the airfield which turns out to be a disaster (for the IJNAF) as lots of them were downed even though they also did a lot of damage to the airfield and the aircraft there...

Post by castor troy »

we did lose over two dozen aircraft on the ground today with way more being damaged but that loss isn't as severe as the loss to KB's air arm... surely they haven't lost as many pilots but most likely nearly two dozen fighter pilots were lost over Pearl's airfields as the Zeroes were shot down by flak... Vals take the expected losses and Kate losses were really more than light as they are the real ship killers... only 7 lost for the damage done is an excellent trade...

as you can see there are no more ships in danger of being sunk at Pearl if there isn't a second day strike and considering the losses to KB's Zeroes I don't expect a strike even though if I always highly advocate for two if not three days of continuos strikes against Pearl Harbour if you actually go for it... as it stands now we have only lost one BB and that wouldn't be worth it for me to have KB that far away from the SRA as you can sink an old BB any time even with a single sub getting a shot at it...

SS Porpoise, Mine hits 1


there are things I often really can't believe they're happening... I know that Japanese minelayer sub is set to lay mines at Bataan by default and therefor I created two minesweeper TFs to go to Bataan (hindsight [8|]) and after creating the minesweeper TF I created all other TFs at Manila to flee the harbour with the sub TF being the last... what happens? The subs run into the minefield but no other ships at all and my minesweepers did exactly nothing... usually mines are ALWAYS spotted if they are there and you move a minesweeper into the hex... Pickerel was outright sunk by the Type 88 mine the other two subs will survive... leaves me thinking about our last campaign where enemy subs kept hitting my mines and nothing happened at all...

the USAAF's heavy bombers at Clark Field were ordered to bomb the port at Takao hitting several ships there but I seriously doubt that even one of them will sink... but the enemy should be aware of the beasts... have to get their bombing skills up...

first bigger air battle of the war and we get out ahead of the IJNAF... our pilots overclaim Zero losses but I guess we traded 1:1 which is really good plus we torched halve a dozen Nells today...

You do not need to use PP to do that . . .

they are all restricted

? Not in a normal game but then you are playing a mod. In the normal games, those air units and most of the troops are not restricted, only one of this is restricted.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

unfortunately the enemy unloaded all troops in one go during the night phase and when Force Z shows up during the day all we can do is to sink enmpty ships and most of them are nothing but throwaways... still, Mundy should be aware that we take the chances we're offered... Force Z is pretty much the only real threat within the SRA at the moment...
