RE: RHS Test 10A: 11 March 42 The Air Battle of Oosthaven!
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2015 11:28 pm
by el cid again
Another day, another air battle! This time for Oosthaven airfield.
In absolute terms, the Allies lost - the airfield is utterly destroyed.
But the exchange ratio is not very good for the Japanese - approaching 1:1.
There were, however, ship losses to Betty's and Nell's. The fourth Allied
carrier came out of repairs today - so the force is re-constituted.
In the South an enemy transport is spotted approaching Lord Howe Island.
Wether it is reinforcements or a withdrawal group is unclear.
Allied Password NIMITZ. The JAPANESE AAR is printed here below.
Run 001 to see the ALLIED replay and generate Allied reports.
003 is the Allied orders BEFORE combat and 008 is the Allied Situation
AFTER combat.

RE: RHS Test 10A: 12 March 42 The First Battle of the Sunda Strait!
Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2015 5:27 am
by el cid again
Limited reports by aircraft and submarine implied the Japanese might be moving South from the river to Palembang toward Western Java. Since most of the ABDA ground forces are on Sumatra, the Allies reasoned it might be an attempt to cut them off from Java by landing at Merak on the Sunda Strait. The Allies too several steps to respond to this situation:
1) The Australian "One" or "I" Corps began evacuation from Sumatra by air and by fast warship transport. Parts of it reached Tjilatjap by both means. A smaller fragment also crossed using three landing craft to the SW coat of Java (at Rangkasbitung);
2) The carriers, in two separate forces, met at a point four hexes West of the Sunda Strait, ideal strike range to cover both the strait and its approaches; one group with three carriers came from the Java Sea near SE Borneo; the other group with the newly repaired Lexington came from Soerabaja;
3) Most ABDA land based aircraft fit to fight deployed from Bandoeng on anti-naval missions except for two squadrons with sufficient range to cover the carriers; a handful of Hurricanes also flew from Kiladjati and the 10 remaining Sea Devastators flew from Merak;
4) The PT boat force survivors stood to at Merak;
5) Surface warships near Western Java not already at Oosthaven set sail for there with a view to acting as fast transports tomorrow;
6) Two of the three Dutch divisions, freshly arrived at Batavia in strategic mode, re-directed to Merak, which they successfully reached today (albeit in the wrong mode to fight).
Precisely what the Japanese plan was is not entirely clear? But it appears they planned to land at Merak, and they actually did shell Batavia, presumably with a view to destroying some of the 250 fighters based there. Possibly they intended a repeat of the massive air strikes of the last two days as well, but these did not materialize.
In fact, very few bombers flew on either side. The weather was socked in from North of Palembang to most of Western Java. Submarines and search planes reported many task groups strung out along the coasts of Banka Island, Sumatra and Billiton Island. Several submarines took depth charge hits and two Japanese ships were sunk by them. But the only proper "battle" per se was between the PT boats and the first wave invasion group - led by the LSD Shinshu Maru. Both sides disengaged without losses and apparently the Japanese attempted to "retire" back to base by going WEST into the Indian Ocean, probably because the PT boats were between them and their base. This appears to have prevented the intended landing, and the invasion group is now one hex West of the Strait itself. Its covering force and two minesweeping groups are in the strait. Several other task groups are visible near and North of Tabaoli, Banka Island. One or two others reported by submarines may be invisible on the display between Banka and the Strait.
In the South Seas the amphib group nearing Lord Howe Island "disappeared" - in spite of intensive searches and bomber strikes hunting for it. It does not appear to have landed. Another attack at Suva reduced fortifications to Level 1.
In spite of anticipated heavy air losses, there were very few: 28 Allied vs only 12 Japanese (the first time in many days the Japanese did not lose more than the Allies).

RE: RHS Test 10A: 13 Mar 42 Day 2: The Battle of the Sunda Strait!
Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2015 6:31 pm
by el cid again
This was one of those days! Both sides were fully committed to a battle they cannot lose, and regional or even strategic victory may hang in the balance. Long laid ABDA plans for precisely this sort of situation - the reason there are such numbers of Allied troops, air units and warships in the area - paid off substantially.
Offensive amphibious operations are the most complex of all human activities. There are many things, all of which must be properly managed, or it can go very wrong. The first thing that went wrong was mine clearing. Two mine clearing task groups had been sent to the Sunda Strait yesterday. Interrupted, apparently by PT boats in the area, they retired to their base at the Southern end of Bankha Island. Nobody noticed - until the mines began to take their toll. [This is reported - not visible here on the Allied replay - but you can see the AM and DMS show up in actions near Banka - making it clear they are not at the Sunda Strait.]
The second thing that went wrong is that the first wave landing, intended for yesterday, went in today at a fairly predictable point - and so numbers of Allied submarines (usually not effective in defensive operations) had time to concentrate along the approach route and at the target. Although several took serious damage both yesterday and today, the toll was high.
The third thing that went wrong is that not enough air power, and too little naval power, was tasked to deal with the carrier groups - which refueled in place but remained exactly where they were the day before. The point - an all sea hex permitting 100% air operations (if weather allows) - is at ideal strike range for the strait and its approaches - and also ideal for land based fighter cover from Kiladjati, Bandoeng and Semerang. Only one destroyer attacked (and remarkably managed to score shell hits on USS Enterprise), insufficient to defeat the force. Only one air strike flew - by a group of land based JAAF dive bombers - with grossly insufficient escorts to deal with no less than twelve different types of defending fighter planes on CAP.
One thing that nearly went right is the destruction of the main forward Allied airfield at Bandoeng. It has 95% runway damage - and substantial aircraft service damage as well. Most of the Allied aircraft losses of the day occurred there - on the ground. But this damage didn't happen soon enough, nor extensively enough, to prevent offensive anti-naval strikes from that base. The first of these crippled the landing and covering forces at the Sunda Strait. At the same time, it substantially cleared the strait of defending combat air patrols. The first of two 100% strength carrier air strikes which followed was easily able to penetrate, adding 1000 pound bombs and torpedoes to the generally lighter weapons of the land based bombers. The second - still amazingly able to contain 100% of the carrier bombers (meaning not one was even disabled, or for any reason unable to fly) - had no fighter opposition at all. Large numbers of transports were hit - many with troops still embarked - and so were large numbers of warships - including three battleships - two of which appear to have been seriously damaged. Recon reports indicate about 16,000 men got ashore - from two divisions, the 25th Army HQ and at least one artillery unit. And not just from any units, but 25th Division (the elite division of the IJA and the only combat division in history in which every line infantryman had both a light machine gun and a rifle - which to use was chosen just before each firefight) and 16th Division (which isn't even part of 25th Army at the start of the war - indicating it is being used as a reinforcement). These units are sufficiently valuable the Japanese may feel they cannot be abandoned, in spite of massive air and naval losses today and the utter impracticality of supporting the position. The horns of a dilemma if ever there was one!
In China, an airfield was flattened at Yenan. In the South Pacific, enemy carriers and transports "disappeared" from intensified search efforts, backed up by all available bombers on naval strike duty (potentially expensive as they have no long range fighters to escort them). What happened is unclear!

RE: RHS Test 10A: 13 Mar 42 Day 3: The Battle of the Sunda Strait!

by el cid again
A relatively quiet day. Night torpedo attacks failed to materialize. About 11,000 more Japanese landed at the Western tip of Java, joining the 15,000 already ashore. Enemy carriers were spotted South of Norfolk Island, a threat to an incoming battleship South of New Zealand. Yet another landing occurred on Fiji.
This is just the replay. Orders and situation after combat follow (due to email size issues of some).

RE: RHS Test 10A: 14 Mar 42 Day 3: The Battle of the Sunda Strait!
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2015 6:57 pm
by el cid again
A relatively quiet day. Night torpedo attacks failed to materialize. About 11,000 more Japanese landed at the Western tip of Java, joining the 15,000 already ashore. Enemy carriers were spotted South of Norfolk Island, a threat to an incoming battleship South of New Zealand. Yet another landing occurred on Fiji.
This is just the replay. Orders and situation after combat follow (due to email size issues of some).

RE: RHS Test 10A: 16 Mar 42 Day 5: The Battle of the Sunda Strait!
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2015 3:27 am
by el cid again
Another day of deadly air strikes by both sides. More troops landed at Merak. More Allied troops walked into the hex - including Aussie 8th Division from Batavia with supporting artillery. Allied carriers hit ships at the Southern tip of Bankha Island, Nagato among them. Also, B-17s scored big at Noumea. Air attrition was heavy, but strongly favored the Japanese.

Japanese Unit(s) Wiped Out at Kalidjati [Java] by attrition!!!
RE: RHS Test 10A: 18 Mar 42: The Air Battle of Tjlitjap!
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2015 12:06 am
by el cid again
The Japanese detected Allied surface and air task forces in the central Java Sea
yesterday. Their heavy surface group and amphibious force one hex off Kilatjati
left the area - returning to the advance base at Tabaoli, Bankha today. Another
amphib force apparently is loading troops from Merak on the Sunda Strait - the troop count dropped again today. Their offensive move was to attack the Wesernmost
Allied airfield not damaged at Tjlitjap - in force. A disaster, because not one zero flew escort! There were 111 planes shot down (vs 3 for the Allies)!
An entire enemy field army left Shangshow in China - indicating the major force - a group of armies - near Sian - may be withdrawing (or partially withdrawing) - to free up troops (for Java???).
Two divisions of the KB are near the Western end of South Island, New Zealand. They detected a battleship in port yesterday - and at sea to day - so it is at risk tomorrow.

RE: RHS Test 10A: 19 Mar 42: Nevada Escapes!
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:44 am
by el cid again
Never mind the Japanese divided up into several carrier task groups,
nor the problem that South Island New Zealand prevents some movement
options, Nevada and her escort escaped - entirely disappearing from
Japanese tracks!
Otherwise it was a relatively quite turn. Sian airfield took a pounding.
The Allied front line on Sumatra held yet again - never mind the arrival
of two infantry brigades yesterday to beef up the attack. Clearly the
Japanese are withdrawing from Java - only 2 units left ashore now.
Both sides elected not to send bombers into hexes critical to the enemy -
so no air combat. But Saratoga nearly took a torpedo in the Java Sea!

RE: RHS Test 10A: 23 Mar 42: KB Hits North Island!
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2015 3:48 am
by el cid again
Strong ABDA naval forces, including 2 battleships and 4 carriers, gathered
off the Southern coast of Borneo in the Central Java Sea - covered by bad
weather. Even so, at least on of the task groups was spotted by aircraft.
Apparently 4 carriers hit North Island at two points today. The advancing
enemy ground force on Sumatra reached Kotabumi - a large town one hex
North of Oosthaven - and the reason there is a one hex long major road
North from Oosthaven.

RE: RHS Test 10A: 24 Mar 42: 2nd Air-Ground Battle of Bandoeng!
Posted: Sun Dec 20, 2015 12:00 am
by el cid again
With the exception of the Cruiser-Minelayer Abdiel, all the ABDA ships
in the Western Java Sea aborted their plans to move forward - because of
being spotted by enemy aircraft. The carriers moved to the SE corner of
Borneo - with a view to covering Balikpapan and attacking Tarakan, a base
which has been harassing Balikpapan. The battleships and shorter range
surface ships - a total of 29 vessels - retired on Batavia. This became a
fighter base, along with Kilatjati and the existing fighter force at Semerang -
and these bases covered Bandoeng and Batavia, in anticipation of possible
enemy bomber strikes (since both had bombers and no fighters spotted by
enemy recon yesterday). All the bombers withdrew from both bases - in
favor of rest and building up still more striking power - now around 130 planes.
The enemy took the bait, and the main event sequence of the day was a series
of bomber raids (escorted) or sweeps over Bandoeng. Every single raid was
met by 15 types of Allied fighters! The air-air loss ratio for the day was 17
Allied and 62 Axis. The Abdiel had a real adventure - twice encountering
some kind of enemy ships and four times being the target of exactly six
Betty's or Nells - all of them escorted by fighters. She laid 140 mines in the
enemy line of communications and took no hits.

With the exception of the Cruiser-Minelayer Abdiel, all the ABDA ships
in the Western Java Sea aborted their plans to move forward - because of
being spotted by enemy aircraft. The carriers moved to the SE corner of
Borneo - with a view to covering Balikpapan and attacking Tarakan, a base
which has been harassing Balikpapan. The battleships and shorter range
surface ships - a total of 29 vessels - retired on Batavia. This became a
fighter base, along with Kilatjati and the existing fighter force at Semerang -
and these bases covered Bandoeng and Batavia, in anticipation of possible
enemy bomber strikes (since both had bombers and no fighters spotted by
enemy recon yesterday). All the bombers withdrew from both bases - in
favor of rest and building up still more striking power - now around 130 planes.
The enemy took the bait, and the main event sequence of the day was a series
of bomber raids (escorted) or sweeps over Bandoeng. Every single raid was
met by 15 types of Allied fighters! The air-air loss ratio for the day was 17
Allied and 62 Axis. The Abdiel had a real adventure - twice encountering
some kind of enemy ships and four times being the target of exactly six
Betty's or Nells - all of them escorted by fighters. She laid 140 mines in the
enemy line of communications and took no hits.

Allied Password NIMITZ
A major heavy task force hit Batavia at the end of the day, after several large attacks on the airfield at Kilatjati. Allied bombers hit the enemy ground forces moving South to the bottom of Sumatra. Japanese bombers hit two Chinese corps on the front line in China. And US heavy bombers conducted an expensive but effective daylight attack on Noumea. Enemy carriers appear to be continuing to move East in the waters East of North Island, New Zealand. US carriers reached the Eastern tip
of Borneo - striking at Tarakan and at tankers fleeing from it.
