Andy Mac v Hellenstrat (Variant Game)

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Mon Sep 13, 2021 11:02 am

NZ is looking very vulnerable in this game now and Hawaii is not invulnerable

If KB is not required in DEI then I almost have to keep my Carriers concentrated in either CENTAC or SOPAC until I have at least 4 of them

I will miss opportunities in DEI but so be it.

The Gearing class DD's are awesome AA beasts as are the Vanguards when they arrive and the 11 Tribals that I now have are pretty nasty customers in a surface fight especailly against IJN light units with radar and decent guns and good exp

By Feb I could have 5 relatively Modern BB's covered by Indomitable and Hermes (also now modern) a selection of good modern Cruisers (Houston as a Baltimore for example) and some very very good Destroyers

So you are right RangerJoe keeping a fleet in being until the Vanguards and Indomitable arrive is key but ideally I need to force him to commit KB to the West - I have to assume all KB's carriers are full complement and he will have made them all Akagi's, Shokaku's or Taiho's - I would suspect Akagi's because of the 81 capacity.

I must not waste the modern ships until I can get full value for them so watch for Betty traps

Assuming he has upgraded all IJN CVL's to Ryujo class and brings their air groups up to snuff thats what 250 carrier aircraft in mini KB - and if he added A6M2's at start he could fill their air groups almost immediately BUT IF and its a big IF I can get some DD's into close quarters with mini KB I think I can make it painful for him.

Personally, I think that instead of adding more aircraft to the initial pools it is much more cost effective to add factories - especially for the Allies. Yes, there won't be as much capability at the very beginning but it is better in the long run - which within the first year would give more aircraft.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:04 pm

Hmm not sure I have added what 200 aircraft on day 1 for 8 points v 1 more factory for 30 (or 15 for a 2E) and some of them have limited runs

I think getting 200 aircraft in my pools on day 1 is a better option remember allied factories dont generate research points and some aircraft dont have upgrades so its not straight froward

Is it perfect no but I am investing 15 points in Corsairs and Thuds that I wont see any benefit of until mid 43

The Wildcats clearly help my USN Carriers early war and the Martlet II is a CW aircraft so it can be used to fill out British, Indian, NZ Canadian or Australian Sqns

50 Wellingtons gives me a very effective early war night bombing force even if i only use 2 sqns and if he goes for oil sites early they have a nasty bomb load for a 2E
Albacoers gives my RN carriers full airgroups or gives my LB Torpedo bombers some depth
Martlets can reinforce any sqn
PBY's allow me to fill most of my USN search groups letting me keep a greater eye out and preserving my ships

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:21 pm

Put it this way I have invested 40 points in aircraft factories 8 in day 1 airfcaft

RangerJoe · Post by **RangerJoe** » Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:23 pm

Yes but the PBYs do upgrade. Check the fighter types to see if any upgrade that you have chosen and then select their predecessors.

But to each their own, everybody plays differently.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Tue Sep 14, 2021 4:54 pm

You are correct RangerJoe had I put a factory in of 15 PBY's for 5 points I would have gotten more utility long terms so I actually spent 10 points on picks to get me 250 aircraft

100 Fighters on Day 1
50 PBY's
50 Torpedo Bombers
50 Wellingtons

I am trading the utility of having 250 airframes on day 1 v the long term benefit of getting 60 single engined aircraft a month or 30 twin engined rcognising that allied upgrade paths a re bit screwy so its hard to get value out of some factories as they dont always upgradeand som e types are short production runs

So I am tradio

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Tue Sep 14, 2021 8:38 pm

I happen to agree with Andy. A Variant game is a balancing act. In my game my opponent attacked Pearl Harbor and destroyed a large number of PBYs, but
I was able to replace losses with the 50 PBYs I bought. If I had created a PBY factory it would have taken 50 days to produce those 50 PBYs. I have had
full squadrons since day 2.

Trade offs are what this type of game is all about.

One item I have thought about is to add a size 30 P-38G factory. The P-38G upgrades to the P-38H which upgrades to the P-38J which upgrades to the P-38L. Maybe my next game I will try to find an opponent for a 200 point game. [8D]

RangerJoe · Post by **RangerJoe** » Tue Sep 14, 2021 8:59 pm

Could a player also spend points to allow one airframe upgrade to another airframe? Especially if that first airframes starts production at the beginning of the game then gets discontinued? Then buy a factory for the first airframe? Yes, that is more points that way but more aircraft in total for a longer period.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:20 pm

You could for the allies its very dangerous to allow that for Japan with research

Next time I do scenaro update I will put sensible upgrade paths in for allied aircraft ie Spit Vb to Spit VIII etc the only reason we didnt do it on release is it was irrelevant as there were so few allied factories - it wasnt a design choice it just wasnt needed in a variants game it may be needed and as it doesnt impact on game play at all unless you have extra factories I think its a safe change to make it wont be ever plane just the ones with incremental upgrades of the same type

Some US types have it already because they get factory upgrades

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:23 pm

Ok agreed a couple of changes before we start

So my 4 Divs in 5/44+

Are now 2 Divs in 5/43+ and with the 2 extra points that gave me I upgraded 2 xAP's too Queen Elizabeth Liner class.....

I will now have some real fast transport capability.....

After the game starts I will post an updated set of variants based on what I have learned this time round but going to wait until the game starts and I can get my opponents feedback on how balanced his choices were

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:34 pm

I have a couple of seriously nasty tricks planned depending on what my opponent does the key question is will he split KB - I dont think he needs to given the size of mini KB but he could

Also will he go for Pearl or go for Sydney or manila - I would guess Pearl but you never can tell of course he doesnt know if I bought fighter sqns for Australia or moved some west coast ones there.

If he hits Pearl I need to keep my Carriers in Eastern Pacific to protect West Coast my usual would be to rush Enterprise and Lexington to DEI to delay him but it really depends on what he does.

My early game picks were pretty weighted to making the DEI harder take better US DD's and CA, more Aircraft in pools etc etc

If he goes all out for Australia or just bypasses a lot of stuff and goes deep it could get quite nasty

Andy

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 3:16 pm

OK been doing some planning

Malaya - Force Z will either move south on turn 1 to rendevous with some US Gearings to improve its AA Defence It has 4 Tribals for screen but I would like to thicken that screen a little once joined up I will split force Z into 2 TF's Repulse and POW leading 5 Modern DD's each - if KB comes to Singapore on turn 1 I will bug out if not I will wait and see what happens maybe moving 1 of the TF's to operate in the Philipines

My Dutch forces will concentrate in the Celebes and lower Borneo as usual awaiting opportunities to strike

The SOPAC fleet now centred on the Swiftsure class CL Adeilade will assemble somewhere in the Solomoms and await intel

Houston (now a Baltimore) Boise Marblehead and the other 4 Gearings will assemble somewhere in Southern PI until I spot mini KB

If any of the DD's from Manila survive they will join them as will the 3 DD's from HK if they survive

Off PH well that really depends on what my opponent does I have 6 SS, 2 CV TF's and a SCTF that I can move but I only get one movment phase on turn 1

I am not allowed to change air group orders so options

1. Sub screen to north east in normal KB strike territory probably going to do that 1 sub every couple of hexes
2. Ent and Lex either go North to try and interfere with Midway Ops, head towards Wake for same, head towards Tarawa for same, join up SW of Pearl and await developments - all are on the table have not decided which way to go
3. SCTF centred on Indianapolis probably loiter SW of Pearl until I know what he is up to no point in going to too close to PH until I know whats happening as long as I can sprint into the port or out of it is all that matters

Thats really about it on turn 1 not a lot else I can do decisions will be made in next 48 hours whenever I get the turn

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sun Sep 19, 2021 7:34 am

On 2. I suspect my opponent is a good player and the chances are he will try to maximise PH strike if he goes for PH and not Manila - (I can see good reasons not to go to PH in this scenario - the BB's he might sink a couple but the rest normally survive - more points to be had tempting me to bring them out of Pearl where he can sink them outright) and he doesnt know I didnt buy working allied torpedoes so Manila becomes a much bigger threat especially as he could be facing a very modern and effective allied fleet in the DEI (he isnt I only took about 20 modern DD's and 2 Cruisers) but he doesnt know that !!!)

So I could maybe go hunting his fleet oilers on turn 1 Lexington is going to go N towards Midway to bushwack any turn 2 invasion of Midway or Wake (unless he has taken the option to buy a couple more magic move TF's) I think Lady Lex will be in good position to hit any invasion and dissappear before KB can catch up.

Now Big E and her TF I will move just north of FFS its unlikely he has any of his Sqns on naval attack and he will be focussed on PH - its a calculated risk (I am not allowed to change orders on my Sqns) so I am stuck with one DB sqn on 50% search

On turn 2 Lex cn move towards Wake and Big E can srpint North to cover Midway with a bit of luck I can bag a couple of AO's and a few invasion transports

Or if he goes all out for Manila so be it nothing happens

Too much time to think on this one its been a week waiting for turn 1 getting antsy now

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sun Sep 19, 2021 7:58 am

Andy, he would have to know if you chose working torpedoes since he would have to set the switch when he started the game.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sun Sep 19, 2021 10:19 am

not if I spent the points to reduce it from say 80% dud to 40% !!!

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sun Sep 19, 2021 10:49 am

I hadn't really thought things through. If the Allies choose working torpedoes then all the USN torps can be changed in the data base quickly, the same with no withdrawals, using witpaeload all withdrawals can be set to 0 in just a few key strokes. And the Japanese player would not have to be notified.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sun Sep 19, 2021 4:40 pm

Aye there are a few tricks and strategies I wont use in a game be interesting to see if my opponent will !!

I wont use training sqns to avoid CAP
I wont bombard at max range so places like Truk are safe if I go there I will pay the piper unless its like 6" guns
I wont try to run a fortress Palembang - its just too cheesy for me (not that I will be given the choice !!)

My opponent has been working on his turn 1 for a week+ so either he has been busy or its going to be a work or art.

Now if its a work of Art that gives me some info - he may be min/maxing either his strikes on Pearl/Manila/Brisbane or Singapore (or any 2 of these)

If he is I may be able to take some risks and get some early strikes in on turn 1 - more to follow

I have too much time on my hands to think about this while I wait on a turn - the more I think the more creative I get for my turn 1 and turn 2 actions - I would kill for a couple of magic move TF's to screw with his opening !!!

He could have a 450+ strike on Pearl and a 250+ strike on another base on turn 1 it is possible but that would be a lot of points - based on questions he asked me he definitly resized KB Sqns so the 450+ KB and a load of Akagi's are almost certain

It really depends what he has done with mini KB if he has reized all the air groups and filled them up 50% of my plans are suicide - if he hasnt I could cause mayhem in the DEI for a week or two

Of course if he has 6 Yamato's covering his invasions POW and Repulse even with support from Gearings and Tribals are in trouble. Hindsight is a wonderfull thing but I should have converted Repulse into a Vanguard class and not bothered with one of the R class.

Without knowing his pointpicks I am not sure...

He did say he had a lump coming in 43 so like me a lot of his points have been spent mid war so convert all the KB's to Akagi's yes I suspect he has done that and filled them up with extra aircraft, convert all his CS and CVL's to Ryujo class - yup he will have done that

What else could he have done to the opening

Convert Kongo's to Yamato Class ??
Add a load of Akitsukis converting less efficient types yes
Maybe convert some small tankers into the massive ones
maybe convert the crap training CL's to better classes or even into Mogami class CA's

All of the above is possible but he also let slip that he loves CS carriers so I suspect a few of those have been converted as well

I dont know caution or aggression in my turn 1 response

Going to sleep on it as i dont expect the turn today my gut says go all out aggression as he will expect me to Sir Robin but I could be wrong and get my fleet sunk on turn 1 !!!

Where could he go where would hurt me the most

If he wants India a Mersing Gambit
If he wants Australia - Rabaul and New Cal on turn 1 - maybe Fiji as well
PH a day 2 or 3 landing in hawaii
NZ he doesnt need to do anything weird in his opening
West Coast USA e.g. Portland can he land on the West Coast on turn 1 and if he does well thats a bit crap because the game will be over fast when he fails ??
Blitkrieg PI with massive force ?
Soviet Union - unlikely
Maybe a fast grab at Palembang or maybe Timor or North Borneo

Some of these I can cover off but not all need to think about what I cover.

Definitely need to cover Mersing the rest I will make the call when I eventually get the turn

Andy

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Oct 01, 2021 12:01 pm

And we are finally off not sure what to say beyond 2 weeks of wait while he planned this turn and it was the single nastiest turn 1 I have ever seen

I think I lost 5 BB's on turn 1

Havent seen my turn yet so not sure

Utter disaster

I sent Big E toward hawaii and I was breakign HR on turn 1 as I was moving towards where I thought his Carriers were and we had a no hunting carrier on turn 1 rule (that I forgot applied to both me and him)

So I redid my turn sent them south west of Pearl only to be told I had initiated yet another carrier battle

So I redid it a 3rd time with turning my air groups off not sure what he was up to in the north but anyway I will find out

As you can see he has landed in Lahaina and my TF that went to Mersing POW/ 2 CL's and a DD found nothing

He hit Rangoon, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore and utterly crucified Pearl.

I now understand why folks have the house rule limiting port attacks on turn 1 - its a bit naff given Singapore and HK were not surprised and neither was Manila although I do think the Air Force was caught on the ground in PI

Anyway read it an weep he is clearly going for HI now what I dont get is if he is going to HI why land in PI ??

Landing in the PI given the limited LCU's he will have is only really usefull as a deception for a turn 3 or 4 landing in Hawaii - he landed in Hawaii on turn 1 so why take the risk of landing in PI and going for Rabaul at same time all of that is pretty risky

Imade him pay a little at Kuantan but it was second string that found them
I then
