Great summary, Kenny. [8D]

Meanwhile the USN has been racing through the Pacific like Governor Corzine on the Turnpike.

Hopefully their race will end up like the governer's[;)]

Our house rules are/were:

Turn 1:

No landings at bases more than 15 hexes from a Japanese base
Only 1 port attack
No hunting Allied Cvs
No Allied orders other than to AC TFs and Chineese units

India:

After India was captured Japan returned Karchi to the Allies.
Indian Ocean was a no fire zone for both sides
Allied units could not attack in India without first giving 30 days notice
Only 1 Indian unit could move from Karachi until a major city in India was recaptured
Respawned SEAC Chinese units must remain in Karachi


China:

No units could enter or exit China without changing to the correct HQ (CEF for Japan and China command for Allies to enter, any HQ to exit)
This no longer appllied after the fall of Chungking

Russia:

Japan must give 30 days notice before invading and allow the Allies to reposition
No Japanese bombing of Russian industry
Non-Russian Allied LCUs and AC may not enter Russia except to liberate a captured base


Auto victory:

Auto victory will not be in effect until 1-1-44


General:
No Japanese surface TF could pass Singapore until it was captured by Japan
B-29s can only fly City and ground attack missions
Subs may not unload at enemy bases

Other minor agreements were made during the game to keep it fun for both sides.

2 more months until we enter 1945 and the Hall of Fame[8D]

Comments for "From here to...well..it SEEMS like an eternity":

Comments begin now..well..on the next line..well two lines because the next is just filler

Have you ever wondered how Gen. MacArthur can be in the Philippines and Australia at the same time?
..Or how exactly DID they get those PT Boats to forward bases?
..Or why we fought WWII?
..Or what are the economic consequences of wartime shortages?
..Or what role did the legal profession play in WWII?
..Or where did they get all those Dutch replacement pilots when the East Indies and the Netherlands were under Axis control?
..Or how about Truman? Was he well liked?
..Or who invented the Margarita? The Darwin Antipersonel Bomb? The Ponzi scheme? Was it really Ponzi?
..And what about Eleanore? Was she..well..you know..?

Hey..don't look at me. I thought you might know.

Good one, TheElf! [:)]

New entry by Speedy:

Speedy vs Fabertong: Death to the Penguin! / Fabertong vs Speedy: The view from the Pole
Players: fabertong [Jap.] vs. Speedy [Allies]
Perspective: 2 closed AARs
Map, Mod, Scen: Stock Map, Scen 15
Settings: PDU on, 1 day turns
House Rules: No night bombing. Only 5 ships per ASW TF.
Current game date: December 1944
Comment by Speedy:

• 2H 1942: Japanese advance in force towards Central China. As such UK/CW forces have no choice but to advance en masse towards Myitkyina to try to relieve the pressure. A prolonged battle here that rages through 1942.
• Aleutians battle where US CV's sink Junyo + 2 CVL's (Faber you may have to remind me on this). In return CV Yorktown heavily damaged and sunk by IJN SS.
• PM is taken uncontested by the Japanese.
• 1H 1943: Allied LBA and attrition force the Japanese to retreat in Burma to Mandalay.
• Allies first unsuccessful attempt to recapture Wake Island. On the sea is an Allied victory with CV Soryu and Hiryu sunk + massive surface combats whichlead in 3 x Allied BB sunk + c.120 other ships (including invasion  ships) to BB Musashi/Nagato + 20 other Japanese ships. On land the attempt is unsuccesful with Allied LCU's being wrecked by CD fire/minefields. Evacuation occurs successfully.
• Allied SS campaign begins in earnest in SRA regions with several AK/TK vessels being sunk.
• 2H 1943: Invasion of Marshall Islands begins with no contest from IJN. Relatively peaceful as garrisoned islands are bypassed. CVL Independence sunk by IJN SS.
• Marshalls suppressed/captured by Allies by October 1943.
• Allied SS still continue to wreak even more havoc.
• 1H 1944: Southern SRA invasions begun in earnest on Timor. Rapid island hopping campaign initiated under cover of Allied LBA and RN ships. Surface battles lead to heavy damage to a number of RN Capitol and IJN ships but no major sinkings IIRC.
• Timor/Bulla/Babo/Maumere/Banjarmasin captured.
• Moulmein, Burma, invaded which brings the beginning of the end to the Burma campaign. Japanese pushed back towards Raheang.
• Wake Island re-invaded after 2 months solid bombing. Taken comfortablly with no IJN intervention.
• 2H 1944: Allies begin to sweep into Siam and have takne all of Malaya exceot Singapore. IndoChina being overrun.
• Mariana's invaded at Saipan by massive allied force. 80ish ships lost to CD/mines but no IJN intervention and little IJAF interdiction.
• B29's begin to dominate the area and smack Iwo Jima.
• Iwo Jima invaded October 1944. P51D's now operate to gain air superiority over Japan.
• Borneo is taken in SRA by Allies forces isolating Sumatra and Java. Further heavy sea battle around Pontianak and Singkawang leads to heavy damage on both RN and IJN Capitol Ships. BB Kirishima sunk.
• CV Franklin sunk by Kamikaze's on CV raids towards Okinawa.
• CV battle in South China Sea leads to CV Intrepid and Bennington being heavily damaged and Japanese CVL being sunk.
• Allied SS continue to rampage and find few worthwhile targets nowadays.

Nice! Since this game is very close to 1945 I've added it to the 'Hall of Fame' immediately. [8D] Also added to the HoF: 2 AARs in 1945 by aztez, which I had placed in the wrong category (apologies!), and 'Battle for New Jersey', which ended in Nov. 1944 - close enough to 1945 for me. Congrats for a game well played! [:)]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record [;)]: everyone can add his own AAR here. Advanced or brand-new, elaborate or succinct - it doesn't matter.

[Widell]

I'll bet no one would ever think of using the nice Wiki to store this kind of information? But then again, why would anyone want to do that? [:'(]

http://witp.kodapa.com/index.php?title=AAR%27s

Thanks!!!

Widell is absolutely right, the wiki is a much better place for this! In a wiki everyone can write and edit their entries, and there's no need for me to keep the first post updated. Coincidentially, this also reduces my work load... [;)] Furthermore there's a nice clickable table of contents at the top of the page, which is AFAIK not possible for me to do in a post.

Since I can link to all AARs in the wiki from here I'll probably remove all data from this thread soon, and turn the first post into a duplicate of the table of contents. People can still post their entries here if they don't want to edit the Wiki. It's really easy to do, though, and I can only advice everyone to go there and have a look. If you want to add something just hit the edit buttons (they are all over the place) and login (no personal info required). The template for the AARs and instructions can be found at the bottom of the page.

TITLE: THEY WERE EXPENDABLE: Nagumo vs Spruance
PLAYERS:AdmSpruance(A) vs Nagumo(J) (Bison Frontier)/Freeboy/Belphegor
MAP/MOD:Scn 15, stock map
SETTINGS: 1 Day Turns, no PDU's
CURRENT GAME: ALLIED AUTOVICTORY 1/1/45
COMMENTS: After overunning the SRA in 4/42, Japan builds up in the Marshalls for an assault on the Gilberts. Meanwhile, the Allies build up in the Gilberts for an assault on the Marshalls. Major meeting engagement between virtually the entire IJN and USN in the Gilberts in 7/42. Massive "Meeting Engagement" attritional battle fought from 7/1/42-9/1/42. Japan made a huge "Death Star" with 8 CVs and 3 CVLs. Over 600 Allied naval bombers were destroyed in 3 major carrier engagements with no CVs lost on either side. Massive BB, CA, CL and DD losses on both sides. Eerie stalemate between opposing airforces and fleets from Sept. 1942 to Feb. 1943. After massing 300 plus P-38s, the Allies launch "Operation Rolling Thunder" on 2/1/43 and destroy over 1000 Japanese AC in one week. After that, the back of Japanese land based air is broken and the Allies advance thru the Marshalls/Marianas/New Guinea/Palaus/Iwo/PI/Okinawa to achieve a 2:1 VICTORY on 1/1/45.
Game started in v1.3 and ended in v1.8. Its very interesting to see the air war change as new WitP versions are released.
