RE: AE AAR
Greetings.
Back to Andy's first post in this thread... yes, I understand that Japanese capabilities may be enhanced, but in an AI vs. AI gamus interruptus, the Japanese AI had invaded Australia in a semi-successful way AND the Allied AI had recaptured both Lunga and Munda, right? Add to this the news that, in testing, autoconvoy actually seems to work, barring suicidal tendencies on the part of the player...
I just want to be sure, as an AI player, that I have my mind sufficiently around what this portends... it's a "going-to-heaven" realization... thanks, guys...

Helldiver

RE: AE AAR
Thanks for the answers, Andy.
Here's a REALLY minor suggestion that you should feel free to ignore: is there any way the combat reports could say "March 4, 1943" instead of "March 04, 43"? I like reading 1943 more than 43, and March 4 more than March 04.
I can always edit my AARs, of course, to change it myself. And I certainly wouldn't want AE to be delayed over date format.

RE: AE AAR
OK before everyone gets to excited remember this is a test script an Invasion of Australia will be very unlikely in th erelease version its just to big a waste of resources for the AI
I took over a game where I was testing the Allied reacion to that invasion and had specifically told the AI to attack Australia - I aint disclosing which of the many variants may be put into the Scen 2 AI but I guarantee I will not waste precious scen 1 resources on these kind of adventures the japanese even the AI cannot afford them....
The best game the japanese can undertake if not going for autovictory is the stubborn defence a la Pauk in my game with him - conservative prudent don't waste resources is the best gameplan for the Japanese and I would be a fool to tell the AI to try these kind of adventures in all but the weirdest scenarios - far better to take what they need plus a little more and hunker down and wait for the storm...

RE: AE AAR
OK next update KB has dissapeared more or less and I have cut an run south to Canton
Tarawa Invasion is off I cannot protect that invasion force while KB is around so my forces have ran south
Looking to Australia japanese forces have cut the rail line behind me my forces are in the progress of r4e clearing the line fortuantely most of my forces are Motorised or Armoured so they move quickly
Additional forces are despatched to Akyab and to Garrison Cox Bazaar in strength

RE: AE AAR
OK just to wash the dirty linen in public a little I am struggling because I almost always out of PP's
Air and Naval withdrawals if you don't watch them like a hawk drain your PP's badly and the allies need all the PP's they can get.
A micro manager will have no issue someone like me thats a bit more careless will need to learn to watch it carefully (there is a reason the LCU's all withdraw automatically [:D][:D] - the Land Team Lead played to his own weaknesses as a lazy git)
Air is not to bad because they withdraw anywhere on map - Naval is a pain because they need to be off map at present (we are changing it for the next build to make it easier but they will still need more planning)
So I am hovering at the 10 - 50 PP level when I need hundreds to reorganise my OOB as I would like it.
Andy mac <==== rear area neatness freak...I like Corps to belong to the same HQ Sqns to belong to the local air HQ's etc etc.
Anyway that little grip aside I found 5 more CVE's and a CVL had arrived
You need to watch about 6 or 7 ports in the US as ships arrive at them all based on historic construction ports you need to get into the habit of checking them all every turn
4 Operations are going to get underway shortly
1. Re open Munda invade Shortlands and Isolate PM and Rabaul
2. Conquer PM
3. Take Tarawa
4. Attu island (ts bugging me)
More to follow when I finish re orgnanising as I need to wait for more Essex's

Air and Naval withdrawals if you don't watch them like a hawk drain your PP's badly and the allies need all the PP's they can get.
A micro manager will have no issue someone like me thats a bit more careless will need to learn to watch it carefully (there is a reason the LCU's all withdraw automatically [:D][:D] - the Land Team Lead played to his own weaknesses as a lazy git)
Air is not to bad because they withdraw anywhere on map - Naval is a pain because they need to be off map at present (we are changing it for the next build to make it easier but they will still need more planning)
So I am hovering at the 10 - 50 PP level when I need hundreds to reorganise my OOB as I would like it.
Andy mac <==== rear area neatness freak...I like Corps to belong to the same HQ Sqns to belong to the local air HQ's etc etc.
Anyway that little grip aside I found 5 more CVE's and a CVL had arrived
You need to watch about 6 or 7 ports in the US as ships arrive at them all based on historic construction ports you need to get into the habit of checking them all every turn
4 Operations are going to get underway shortly
1. Re open Munda invade Shortlands and Isolate PM and Rabaul
2. Conquer PM
3. Take Tarawa
4. Attu island (ts bugging me)
More to follow when I finish re orgnanising as I need to wait for more Essex's

RE: AE AAR
I'm surprised to see Ki-27 Nates still flying in mid 43!
Where are the Ki-61's, I'm not sure I've seen any in this AAR?
Maybe there in the rear but, there are several other Japanese aircraft I would expect to see in mid 43!

And what is going on in Liuchow?? This heavily outnumbered (by 6-to-1) Japanese force has persisted - throughout the course of this entire AAR - in launching deliberate or shock attacks EVERY day! You might want to take another look at the code driving that behaviour, because something just doesn't add up.
Finally, it would be nice if you could give us some background on what happened in Munda several pages back. A few folks commented early in the AAR about the unopposed Japanese air attacks, and shortly after an Allied Supply Task force arrived, along with what appeared to be several units of Ground based air to provide cover. And over a few days, it looked like 20+ ships (probably the entire task force) was sunk by a relentless Japanese air assault (which included lots of damage inflicted by level bombers - a supposed AI tactical mistake according to one of the early commenters). The CAP tried hard to fight them off, but was soon beaten into submission. What really happened there?
