The Repentant Samurai RUPD (A) vs GordoNZ (J)

RUPD3658 · Post by **RUPD3658** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 2:34 pm

Invasion fleet landed at Tassafaronga rather than Lunga to avoid the mines and CD guns. I hope it pays off.

Almost every BB in my navy hit Lunga and did squat to the AF. As a result my planes got killed at a 4:1 ratio again. This could be a long, bloody battle.

The convoy headed to Darwin got hit again. It looks like only about 65% will make it through. I should have taken the long way around OZ but I got impatient again.

Jap bombers from Munda broke through and launched torpedoes at my Brit CVs. Luckily none hit.

I am now faced with a dilema. It will be at least one more 2-day turn until I have finished unloading troops. After several air battles my CV fighters are at about 50% of full strength. I have decided to stay and cover the unlaoding rather than flee before this is done. TFs have broken off to bombard Munda so hopefully this and the bad weather will limit the number of strikes against my fleet. I think I am safe from Rabaul for another turn or two since the Zeros needed should still be transferring from China. My only real fear is the KB. If it showes up next turn I am in big trouble. I am hoping that it was in the Home Islands when I landed since I last spotted it off Wake. If it returned to Truk or the Marianas after the Wake raid it could arrive in time to beat up my fleet.

The KB did not arrive so my massed CV fighters were able to fend off all attacks. I don't know if it was the massed numbers or the low Zero pilots qaulity but for once my Wildcats came out on top. I did lose my lateset top ace with 12 kills however.

The fleet has been given orders to pull back to New Caledonia. 2 Bombardment fleets will hit Munda and Lunga on the way out. Time to head to the repair yards for the 10/42 upgrades.

Kusaie Island was finally captured

Specifics. The bombardment of Munda was weak but the A2A was pretty good.

RUPD3658 · Post by **RUPD3658** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:23 am

The fleet withdraw from Guadalcanal is almost complete. All the major units have withdrawn but 4 DDs that had to refuel from an AO first got hit. 1 has sunk and 2 others probably will sink soon. Not too bad overall.

Bombardments on the way out failed to impress but the combined airstrikes should have shut down Lunga and Munda. It will be a few weeks before I can move on Lunga.

Right now about 2/3 of my ships are headed to repair yards for the 10/42 upgrades.

Aside from a landing at Kai island, just more softening up of Kwaj and Lunga.

I have spotted some CAs at Rabaul so I have a feeling Tassaforonga may get a visit soon. I will have to move some subs into the area for defense of the beachhead.

In one turn my shipyard crews did more damage to the fleet than the Japs have done in the last 3 months. It is nice to have the upgrades but my ships will be out of service for a while.

Jap bombardment TF hit Tulagi with minimal damage. I have sent subs to lay some mines to fend off future such attacks.

Bombing of Lunga continues with 8 more supply hits. Hopefully by the time my guys make it through the jungle the defenders here will have starved.

And the gory details. It looks like the KB has pulled up off Tassaforonga along with the entire battle line of the Jap Navy. Of course all my units are in PH and the West coast upgrading and repairing. I don't know if the Tf that pulled into Lunga is dropping off supplies, picking up troops, or laying mines.

I have dispatched subs to the area but will be unable to do much for the next few days but sit back and take it. Hopefully I can turn the CVs around quickly and drive the KB away before the landing is truely threatened.

Note the location of the CVs. The rest seem to be BBs including the one up by Rabaul, which I think is headed back to refuel.

Now I know how the poor guys at Henderson Field must have felt. Can't be good for morale to get shelled by enemy BBs and not have your fleet anywhere around. [:(]

Bombarded once again. The Jap fleet seems to have all headed back to Rabaul. I guess the fear of my CVs showing up had an effect on them. In reality my CVs are all at PH getting repaired and will likely be there for 2 more weeks. Subs have been dispatched to mine and patrol the slot until the CVs return. I also fast transported another AA unit to Tassaforonga to bolster the flak level there.

First mines have been laid at Tassaforonga and subs are in position to intercept ships coming down the slot. All Jap ships seem to be staying at Rabaul for the moment.

Attack will come this turn at Maumere. I hope to destroy some damaged AC on the ground when the base falls.

Maumere captured. I forgot that there was a dot base next door so instead of destroying the base force I drove it into the jungle to starve.

Supplies are running low at Tassaforonga due to spoilage. I will have to move to help soon.
