Update...

I hate this game..

For some reason all of my carriers and surface warships decided to bombard fusan at 0 range and were essentially destroyed...

Ask for a redo.

The thought has occured to me. Here is what I think happened without watching all of the replay.

I had 2 carrier groups with 4 or 5 CV's each and 3 surface combat groups consisting of heavy and light cruisers.

These fleets were SW of Fusan with orders to move northeast to cover the retreating transports at Oki Shoto.

Well, NJP got his cruisers through and sunk a few CV's and damaged at least a few more. This is where it fell apart. instead of moving northeast the fleet decided to return to it's home port of Amoy but instead of moving west for some reason it moved northwest and due to the damage moved only 1 hex.

Due to that my other carrier fleet and 3 other fleets decided to play in the huge Fusan mine field and bombard the well defended base at 0 hexes including the carriers.

I have no idea what happened to the transports that were supposed to be protected.

In real life the carriers and surface fleets would never have gotten that close to Fusan and that is what pisses me off.

But I cannot totally fault the game as if I had had separate orders rather than one follow order and if I had chosen a different home base the results would have been different.

These are the lessons we dont forget...

I don't think your opponent is going to want a victory based on stupid game mechanics - I still think you ask for a re-do.

LOL!!! It is October of 1944 and I have smashed China. Shikuka is secured and I am making preparations for an assault on the home islands. He cant win the game unless he somehow develops nukes...

NJP honorably offered a re-do this morning and I am gonna decline. My ships moved northwest because he smashed me from the southeast with his cruisers. Attacking Fusan was DEFINITELY something that would not have happened in real life, thus a glitch. However, things happen in war. Fortunately the bulk of the Japanese airforce was elsewhere and it did not get to take part in the carnage.

I guess your CV's were trying to escape the IJN surface threat and headed into Fusan...you better sack some commanders!

Any enemy ships entering Fusan get attacked by those guns I think.

I guess your CV's were trying to escape the IJN surface threat and headed into Fusan...you better sack some commanders!

Any enemy ships entering Fusan get attacked by those guns I think.

If Fusan is coded as a "strait", yes. I think these are either listed in the manual, or maybe you can check via a hotkey for the map display.

Otherwise, the CD guns won't fire at ships just passing through the hex, unless they are also interacting with a minefield - and even then, not always!

It is a wide strait I believe. Fusan, has, btw 40cm coastal batteries which gotta be quite nasty!

Read the bolded portion...interesting.

4.2.1.3 STRAITS
A separate attribute of some hexside is the presence of a “strait”, or narrow channel, through
which ships must pass to move from one hex to an adjacent hex when performing naval
movement. There are two classes of “strait” on the map – “wide” straits and “narrow” straits.

Straits affect naval units in several ways:

» Vulnerability to mines: Task Forces moving through straits are more likely
to hit mines that are located in the hexes either side of the strait hexside.
» Vulnerability to attack by Coastal Guns: Task Forces moving
through straits are more likely to be attacked by coastal guns that
are located in the hexes either side of the strait hexside.
» Naval Reaction: Task Forces will not react through a strait
if there are any known CD defenses in the strait

The effects of straits on naval movement are more pronounced for narrow straits, and less
pronounced for wide straits. Narrow straits, in particular, can restrict the movement of enemy
forces if covered by minefields and coastal defense units, and should only be traversed if sure
that enemy CD forces or concentrations of mines are not present (or you are desperate).

A list of narrow straits is provided in Appendix C.

I have posted this rule before....

6.8 COAST GUN FIRE AT PASSING TASK FORCES
Every time a TF enters an enemy base hex, enemy coastal guns in the hex may fire at the
ships in the TF. This can occur whether the TF has the enemy base hex as its destination, or is
passing through the hex on its way to another location. TFs will generally try to avoid moving
through enemy base hexes when selecting their movement paths so as to avoid this kind of
attack, if possible. A TF ordered to move to Manila (43,52) would find that it must move through
the Bataan (42,51) hex to get to Manila. This will allow the coastal guns of Bataan to shoot at
these ships as they sail by.

This is clearly a "May fire"... in my game against Arto, he has sailed directly past CD guns (and a minefield, in one case!) at Palm Island to bombard Townsville. No shots were fired. I realize it's not a strait, but... the manual says "enemy base hex". I specifically took the CD guns and minefields there in an attempt to make it more dangerous for my opponent to bombard Townsville, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. Not like moving through the Bataan hex to reach Manila.

This is why I'm not convinced that Fusan guns would always fire, although if it is a wide strait as you say... the manual lists narrow straits. Do you know where we'd find the wide straits? Please indulge my laziness! [;)]

Global Map October 30, 1944

Looking at the map I am guessing he has between 100 and 200 oil generation across the territory he has left, maybe a bit more.

Is there any point in attacking heavy industry at this point? I am thinking about prioritizing objectives primarily for Korea and China and if he is low/out of fuel are these just empty VP targets?

From what I understand, the Japanese in late game usually have no problems with HI and/or resources but supplies are always an issue.

In this case I am thinking that light industry and plane/equipment factories should be more of a priority.

What do you think?

Remember, oil gets refined into fuel creating some supply, and then the fuel is burned off at heavy industry creating more supply.

The Home Islands have three large industrial centers which should be a priority, where manpower attacks work very well and they burn almost everything.

With your bases, you should be able to sweep the skies and then target whatever you like with daytime bombing. It will be good for you and darn right ugly for Japan.

Recon everything...

It definitely is a bitter blow for you, but I think the unexpected, where local commanders react in the moment, away from the God like direction of the player, is what really makes this game great.

Captain Cruft played to maximize this kind of opportunity...where little things cascade into the totally unexpected. Collisions, reacting into minefields, etc, etc.

As an observer I think it it worked out pretty neat, and hats off for not redoing the turn.[&o]

Thanks!

There is no reset button in life. I felt it would have been unfair to take the victory away from NJP, especially the first cruiser attack as that was totally legitimate. He played it perfectly and I got too arrogant and was sailing around off the coast of Japan with no maneuver room. Lesson learned.

As I have said before, carriers are becoming less and less useful now. I have less than 5 hexes to Japan on 2 coasts. Giving away 3,000 points didnt help my victory date but I am still going to win this game. And now that we have 2 games going I really do want to take this one till the end. The latest Japanese victory just put a bigger chip on my shoulder.

My latest blunder has me re-thinking Formosa. I need time to untangle from China and have decided to move the forces from Singapore to take Canton and Hong Kong while I wait. There is 3K+ units decending on Hengchow and then to Saigon. I could peel some of those off, particularly the armor and put it ashore. It would gain me 1000VP plus whatever I could get from killing 100K troops plus 1000 tanks. Of course I would have to pay a price.

This might give me time to secure Shangahi and some of the other bases.

I am going to invade Bihoro sooner rather than later because I am overstacked at Shikuka and there is nothing better to do with all these troops. It will stress his supply situation moreover. There are 2500-2800AV of troops on Sakhalin that can do the job. It also looks like Kunashiri just off the coast of Hokkaido is not occupied. That can give me a level 8 base.

True. My thinking was that he would have enough resources and light industry to far outproduce the supply that is being created by the heavy industry. Your point is more valid though :]

Getting close to being able to sweep over those areas. A few more weeks and the bases will be developed. Then he starts to get pummeled in the tender bits.

At this point, I don't see why you'd bomb HI. No need to bomb Resources. You could hit LI...

I'd rather hit Manpower than anything. That's what will really get you the VPs. Targeting factories only gets you 2 points per damaged factory.

Hitting Manpower starts fires, which can burn up the factories entirely, for 10x the VPs. Not to mention it doesn't REALLY matter which aircraft factories you hit, beyond a few (maybe his Frank pools are low so you could try hitting those, etc.), and a scattershot approach is as good as any.

I agree with you here ... Supply is key at this point. You have 10 billion planes in the pool but if the IJ do not have the supplies .. no draw from pool
I do think concentrating on certain R&D factories first might be beneficial, than hit manpower.
Even attacking concentrated air bases at night might be worth the damaged and destroyed aircraft making complete destruction easier.
Knocking down the airbase level in a prime target hex has a huge advantage because the target then can only be defended by LCAP.
Combat resolution assumes planes go into a worm hole and pop over the target. So, it is possible to have CAP/LCAP over a prime target with a knocked out airbase but the results are frustrating for the defender ...


Drawing aircraft from the pools draws supplies .. supplies that will be desperately needed in some other part of the game.
What not to do is to pull a Goering and start with one strategy and then shift ...only to shift again.
