Beer Wars: Nik vs Ron GC-15

[kaiser73]

I expect Java to fall by end of March. Then problably Nik will need to rest a bit his troops. Let's say 2 weeks.
So by mid April he will be ready for a new major offensive (if he chooses to).

Where? So far the Pacific has been pretty quiet. he didn't even conquer Baker. In 1 month he will meet a much stronger resistance in the air, and this time with decent aircrafts.

I've always wanted to visit Alaska......

I heard San Francisco is better...more sunny. why don't you land there? i swear to you right now i don't have many divs there

[Nikademus]

of course not....they are all enroute to Karachi [X(]. One reason why i didn't like the auto accelerate rule. It s the ultimate saftey net and allows Allied players to denude the rear area in favor of the forward.

The Banana knows this well...... [:D]

well, look at the good side: you don't even need to spend PP to redeploy units from China to Burma [;)]. and they get there faster than my units from US coast.

Seriously, in the first year Allies haven't PP to move lot of stuff. Maybe just some air squadrons [8D]

Dont worry...i'd never do that to you. [;)]

I'm not above retaliating with a little strategic bombing though, even if it is ridiculously easy to hit them. [X(]

[Nikademus]

The end is near in Java. Imperial troops have gone over to a full fledged shock assault. The Defender's lines are giving way. Spearheads are reported within the city limits itself as fierce fighting continues. Northern pincer is now less than 120 miles away but it is looking like they will only be needed to complete the entrapment. Yennen is attacked again. Major damage is reported to her industrial areas. Port Morosby bombing continues. 4 more B-17's bite the dust.

AK Katsurahama Maru

[Nikademus]

oh Japan is careful, Japan just didn't count on bomber groups, transfering to PM the same day would be able to operate at full strike capacity. Could have sworn that there was a built in delay that prevented insta attacks of this nature but apparantly i'm wrong or outdated. I was definatley not comfortable with a LRCAP at nearly 8 hexes. I doubt it would have made much difference

Also counted on Rabaul continuing it's suppression but that backfired. ah well.....the ships were empty. [:D]

[Nikademus]

Have to admit too......i'm wondering about the validity of having Beaufort's carry torpedoes as a default weapon. I recall there was a big flap about this back in UV days but the details escape me.

Dutch units retreating to Kragen (or whatever it is called) for a last stand.

Japanese G4M1 bombed Port Moresby again meeting no opposition by Allied fighters. But Losses are reported to be minimal

With the upcoming fall of Java, it is uncertain what will be next move of Japan.

[Nikademus]

I dont think Japan knows either. Talk about historical authenticity! I always feel exactly like the Japanese GHQ did at this point in the game

which way do i go now?

[:D]

[Nikademus]

Well, i have no Witp test or mod testing to do. and 2 of my opponents are not very regular (1 turn every 2 days average).

And after the first 6 game months PBEM turns get faster.

how long does it take to do a PBEM turn (after first months in game i mean; first 2 months have very long turns). ?
