The invasion ... or rather sight see'ing tour in PI is turning into a longistical problem. Having failed to land half the troops I should have on the opening attack I'm now faced with the problem of a fully active and responsive enemy. I don't think the originally slated invaison forces for the remaining bases are suffecient with a full operation fighter/bomber force plus subs plus PT's when it suits them.
This has resulted in a new strategy regarding the PI ... I like to called it operation "Bogged Down". As in I'm bogged down there. Malaya however is going far better. Kuantan fell today. More pressure is attempting to be placed on the horrible bombing brats in the airfield surrounding my new homes there. Some Oscars where moved into Malaya for some close combat support. They where istrumental in disrupting todays allied attacks on our peacefull ships. The damage sustained could have been a lot worse if it was not for these brave pilots.
The KB dispite allied propaganda continues to sink ships in between PH and the US mainland. However the real target of our rush eastward , a 10 ship convo seems to have eluded us.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
another fair turn in an around singapore, as two wildbeast put 3 fish in two jap Ca's. around pearl his KB finnished the last of a task force damaged at pearl on dec 7th heading for the west coast. The las ship in the task force was so badly damaged, AVD Hubart, that we were force to scuttle her. The Air war over ragoon is about to begin, and signat reports more troops headed for PI.
I thought this place was a empire, now im the last, I can't be sure...
RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Well today has seen a continued air battle in Malaya. China ... could be better. The PI are actually going ok , just not as quickly as I would like. Davao landing happened and if they can take it we will pretty much have the southern PI dominated.
Sadly bombing raids on the allied air fields in Malaya are iniffective at best. Also I'm having some trouble with the auto(or lack of auto) convoy system. Bases and trasports in the system yet no convoy's are being made.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Despite recomendations from my G-2 guys, ive informed my Counter part not to use the auto convoy system until the new patch comes out. No wonder my subs arent finding anything!!
I thought this place was a empire, now im the last, I can't be sure...
RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Oh good lord. Now a WHOLE new level of micromangment I'll need to deal with. Our war effort hasn't gotten off to a stumbling start , it's fallen face first into the pavement. No matter , we will overcome. If anything it will force me to become more aware of the supply situation of my army and logistical concerns. So what if it will be the end of december before any of my bases recive supplies right ?

I have no problem starting over. This could be a major hinderence if you dont have supply anywhere.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
No need for that. I was slightly exagerating my supply "crisis". There are only a couple bases that are really short on supply. Plus , this is my first game , so it's all a learning experince [;)] Your subs will have something to hunt for soon.

well, I have to admit that for a few turns i thought you were just joking about this being your first pBEm game, as your tactics and strategy seem like a vetran. I think, despite your supply malfunction, your doing very well.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Heh well I'll take that as a complement. This truly is my first real game (aside from the turtorial). I like to think I learn quickly thow. In a way you should be happy I'm making all my big mistakes in our game My 1st turn in my new game I just started went a whole lot better [:D]

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Today saw more of the same. We advance in Malaya , China continues to be a problem. Our supply problem is not a problem actually , one of the advatanges of only attacking half as many bases as planned on day one is you have half the supply need [:D]
In any case a few convoy's are being loaded up to head out. The KB fails to annhilate a PT TF around PH that it spotted due to a misscommunication betweent he Escourt flight codinater and bombing captain. There was a lot of yelling and by the time the various captains got the whole mess sorted out the day was over. Zero's thought they where only supposed to escourt bombing runs going to PH , so the bombers refused to fly against the PT's without escourt. It was a lot of drama and nashing of teeth.

In any case a few convoy's are being loaded up to head out. The KB fails to annhilate a PT TF around PH that it spotted due to a misscommunication betweent he Escourt flight codinater and bombing captain. There was a lot of yelling and by the time the various captains got the whole mess sorted out the day was over. Zero's thought they where only supposed to escourt bombing runs going to PH , so the bombers refused to fly against the PT's without escourt. It was a lot of drama and nashing of teeth.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
well the Captain of the SS Threaser is kicking himself, as he watches the kaga sail by his periscope with a full moon and a perfect shot, and both torps miss........ My little pt's squadrons continue to play cat and mouse with KB off pearl.... I have pushed the japs out of a small port city south of saigon and china once again has a port.... for now. His landing in davo looked painful as costal guns pound a couple of ap's and some msw.
his march towards singapore continues while my aussie and brit pilots score more hits on some ap's. their morale is about shot, and I think I will pull a few squadrons soon, some to help the dutch and some to help the defence of rangoon. His air attacks in burma have been devestaing keeping my planes down and morale low, im amazed that they even fly, you gotta love the brit pilots.....[;)]

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
The former land army commander for the China Expeditiary Army has shot himself. He could not face returing home after his disgracefully performence. A new commander has been put in his place and we hope to see some better results. He seemed better right off when he actually issued orders to many of the troops just laying around.
An amercian CV force is spotted heading twords Oz. It's way beyond being either usefull or attackable so we are just happy to know it's not in the PI. Another sucidal attack from the PT boat captains. We are guessing it was thier brothers or something on the ships that got hit on the 7th with the total disregard for intellegent combat they are displaying.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
dec 18th was a rather quite day. In malaya most of my Air crews had the day of to rest. In the phillipines, with the exception of the landings and attacks at davo, which will fall tommorrow I think, its been quite.
At pearl, My pt boats find the KB, and put a few rounds in to a few DD's, doubtful a 20MM did much damage, they did fire torps this time, but they miss. the dd Kasami sinks 2 pt's boats with single shots each.
China contiues to go well. we sneak in the back door at canton, while most of the army is attacking honk kong. at Yenan his probe is repulsed, with little casualties on either side.
Singapore is as ready as it can be for the battle that should start before christmas.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Major Naval Contact
Reports are just comming in that a night battle was just faught last night!! The famed Ryujo CVL force was engaged by a sizable allied naval fleet south of Davao. Contact was first made at 9,000 yards. The night sky lit ablaze as DD's traded shots. Outnumbered 2 to 1 did our noble fleet abandon the fight? NO !! The rumors of ancient samuri spirits guiding the Ryujo must have more merit then originally thought, the fleet closed the distance! Now the night sky is ablaze as both fleets main line ships start trading shots. Torpedo's go sailing threw the water some finding their allied targets. No matter what the allied tried the Ryujo remained masked behind her brilliant and darning escourt. Unsatisfied with only 1 enemy ships severly damaged our brave fleet closed the distance to 5,000 yards ! Now every ship in the fleets lit open. The supiror gunnery and naval prowess of our valient fleet was shown as while only reciving minor damage the allied DD Parrot was sunk , the CL Marblehead severly damaged along with numerous of their DD's.
All the while the Ryujo remained totally unscathed , her escorts having performed in true japanese fashion. In the morning later Ryujo's sister CVL TF launched missions against her assailents , landing a bomb on the CL De Ruyter. The pittifull attempt by the allies does nothing to stop Davao from falling today.
Elsewhere - in china we are struggling however many attacks are made along the front today and in many places the cowardly chinese fall back.

Now the night sky is ablaze as both fleets main line ships start trading shots. Torpedo's go sailing threw the water some finding their allied targets. No matter what the allied tried the Ryujo remained masked behind her brilliant and darning escourt. Unsatisfied with only 1 enemy ships severly damaged our brave fleet closed the distance to 5,000 yards ! Now every ship in the fleets lit open. The supiror gunnery and naval prowess of our valient fleet was shown as while only reciving minor damage the allied DD Parrot was sunk , the CL Marblehead severly damaged along with numerous of their DD's.
All the while the Ryujo remained totally unscathed , her escorts having performed in true japanese fashion. In the morning later Ryujo's sister CVL TF launched missions against her assailents , landing a bomb on the CL De Ruyter. The pittifull attempt by the allies does nothing to stop Davao from falling today.
Elsewhere - in china we are struggling however many attacks are made along the front today and in many places the cowardly chinese fall back.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
What a great naval action!. his carriers continue to live a charmed life, between this engagement, numerous air attacks, pt boat attacks, and one submarine attack, no damage!!![X(]. I had been waiting for a chance to ambush his transport fleet at davo, an while I knew his carriers where close I thought it worth the risk. What are the chances his carrier fleet would move into my path on the way to the beaches of davo. to add insult to injury, davo falls the same day. despite the combat results, only one dd sunk, two others will be caught at first light as damage is to bad, and 1 is a drifting hulk which I should scuttle, but just maybe the oil slick an fires will attrack his two carriers attention to let the others withdraw.
China is the hot spot at the moment as attacks an counter attacks are going on in every area of the country.
He has arrived in george town much to the dismay of my aircrews who are ready to scattdaddle out, alas the bombing of the day before has every single plane left there on the damaged unable to fly list.
The first BB's maryland and west virginia arrive in frisco an go right to dry dock. I hope to have them back by october of '42, although this may be a bit optimistic.
My subs are starting to find targets, and even better hit them
The b-17c's on clarks field are having a field day on transports., damaging 3 yesterday and 1 confirmed sinking.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
After an internal review Japan has finally decided to allow flight groups to
recive replancement planes [:D][:D] . On top of that great advancement we are
even allowing some upgrades to start happening [:D][:D]. Little did I know that
none of my fighter groups where getting replacements , but I feel accomplished
having figured that out as well as solving the mystery of how to upgrade planes
While the paper pushers continue to figure out the right way to hold pencils back
home , the fighting troops are working hard with what they have despire the oversights.
Today is more of the same from the past few days , the allied naval fleet has run in
fear after getting bloodied. Meanwhile KB makes it's slow lumbering way back twords
civilization.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
We see the naval side of things dying down today after the creshendo 2 days ago. All eyes are in china as critical drama gets played out there. The chinese have moved to attack Canton , not to actually take it , merly to cut off the supply to the troops trying to finish off hong kong.
The rest of China trembles before the might of the newly invigorated IJA. Oh yea and some allied ships where sunk ... as usual.

RE: Into the deep end , ArticFire vs grey(scen15)
Quite day at sea HA!! my tankers seem to attract jap subs and torpedoes. china is indeed the hot spot for land and air combat.
The plight of the DD Barker, ends, after a night engagement the night of the 18/19 1942 against a jap task force including a carrier, she was set adrift, trailing oil and burning, hoping to attract enough attention to let the rest of the task force escape. seems it worked, she is bombed the next morning, taking 4 more bombs from a flt of Kates, turrets wrecked, cant make any steam, she is scuttled..... flying boats from DEI land to pick up the few survivors left, the Captain went down with the ship.
