OK dont know if you would consider it objective but here is an analysis nontheless. Torpedo attacks at Singapore Naval base and Cavite Manila were NOT remotely possible. Never mind "NIGHT" time torpedo attacks, which is the only way a "SURPRISE" attack could have occured at those locations. Lets just hope that Pry's port attack "FIX" will be adopted in V1.3
Sembawang naval base was a target on December 8th. It's very possible that the PH attack could have been delayed two hours to allow a surprise attack on Singapore. Even without a delay it's possible ships may have been sunk nonetheless. The thing is historically there was bad weather over Singapore.
You have proven that the decision to leave litterally dozens of Allied squadrons and LCUs either out or delayed from the historic reinforcement oob is a mistake. As is the artifical on NEI/Brit a/c delayed upgraded rule. Again as you have aptly demonstrated allows the Japanese player to delay the conquest of the SRA without fear of reprocussions.
Don't know anything about this. Make sure the Matrix people know so it can be fixed.
Very nice work executing your plan.
Thanks but it can be executed better by more skilled players.

So basically you place no restrictions on JP first turn attacks?? Seems that I remember a house rule of no attacks outside of fighter cover.
Hi, The only house rules I used in the current PBEM games (I place no restrictions except the port attack on players running Japan against me) where I am Japan is I only make the PH port attack on turn 1. If the Allied player leaves ships in port in range of my LBA on turn 2 I make port attacks.
It is my personal rule not to attack outside my air control. I don't restrict the other player. Every one of my TF ends turn 1 inside my air control. I make no landings on turn 1 except for historical (I don't use the extended movement on turn 1 for landings)
As Japan I always allow the Allied player to give orders on turn 1 except at PH.
I don't mind when the other player as Japan uses the extended movement. I try to show why it is wise to stay inside air control.
I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a different direction!
Ok here is what is going on. He can take the DEI and Phillipines if he moves enough troops there. Sinapore will be a really tough nut to crack and Burma is going to be too. New Zeland is going to be hard for him to take he needs a couple of more divisions to take if he has the troops. I wonder how many troops he will leave on the Hawaiian Islands and the other Central Pacific islands.
I hope his loses in planes and ships have hurt. He has had a great start and got what he said he was going to get, but at what cost? Will he be able to put up a good defense when and were I want to counter attack.

Hi, Read my post. I allow Japan to make port attacks but the Allied player is allowed to give orders except at PH. This is the same house rule I use in every game where i am Japan so it's not something invented just for this game.
Could you live with a rule to deny movement in PI and Malaya without a Pearl Habor attack?

Sounds about right. I have enough to defend Indo-China with but not enough to take Rangoon. New Zealand is a big pain, when did the division show up by the way?
Here is what my intelligence screen show me.
Allies Japan
AA 708 781
Ground 526 421
Flak 93 1043
OPS 341 606
Totals 2064 2851
Yes, I've lost a lot of planes due to flak. However I'm not concerned about the losses. Yes, it hurts the victory point thing but I'm actually trying to put the Japanese in the strongest position possible. Huge losses of Nates, Betties, and Zeros aren't that important because there are plenty more where they came from.
Also from a realism perspective I wonder where the PI gets new B-17s and P-40s every turn from. It seems unlikely the US could supply them from the United States.
How do you find the count of ships sunk? The only way I know how is by manually doing a count and this is too tedious for me with these big numbers. Anyway the state of the AP fleet is my biggest concern. AKs have half the losses and there were more of them to begin with. The BB losses are unfortunate since one was lost in a pointless bombardment of Midway and another in a pointless bombardment of Mogami Harbor. If I did it again I wouldn't bother with bombardmenting these positions because it played no role in the outcome. The carriers I would keep away from the land-based aircraft and just patrol around MH. The APs are going to be lost anyway because of the costal guns.
I hope his loses in planes and ships have hurt. He has had a great start and got what he said he was going to get, but at what cost? Will he be able to put up a good defense when and were I want to counter attack.
The only thing that loss of planes hurt is the victory point margin. There are still enough replacements. The state of island defenses vary but there will be no particular weak points.

The divison showed up a week or teo before you came a callin. Yes I counted the ships by hand. I know he has many planes in reserve, the thing is how many of his skilled pilots have been killed, because I have better planes than he will very soon.

Hi, It's never about the aircraft. Japan can build them much faster then she can train pilots.
The A6M2 has a combat bonus early in war.
Once the bonus is gone and the groups have 30-50 percent untrained pilots Japan will not win any protracted air campaign and the Betty/Nell stop scoring hits on moving TF and strikes against targets with CAP lose much of their effectivness making the defense of Japanese bases that much more difficult.
But in terms of pure numbers of aircraft Japan can put up there will never be a decline before Allied bombing hits aircraft or engine production. Try the 1944/45 scenarios to see how fast Japanese pools decline.
Will Japan be able to keep up with loss in this game? Not after 1943. Losing 100 aircraft to score 1 hit on a single transport makes it pointless to try. 10 USN CV will put up 150+ fighter CAP and 150+ escorts for their strikes. Japan even with good pilots can't stop this.
Check the USN ship arrival list to see how long before the USN has 10 Essex class.
Add 6 months to this time to arrive at date when it will be apparent Japan has lost this game.
USe the intell screen "sunk ships" to count lost ships. Just sort and count by type.

Hi The Japanese bombed Kuala Lumpur ? Have you bombed the oil center at Palembang yet to prevent the Allies from hauling oil to OZ?

I am confused by this. Maybe I should go back and read the whole thread, but why would Japan bomb oil centers it intends to capture? Don't I want these intact to supply oil once I capture them? Am I missing something?

No, I will need that oil. I've got enough resources though for a good long while. On supply planes I've got a lot of experience with them already. Dutch transports will not be able to ship that much supply. Plus there won't be any Dutch transports after Java and Sumatra are invaded. Singapore will be totally cutoff and then they can starve.
Do you mean to say Chungking will starve very soon since it is no longer producing resources? How long do you think this will take?

Singapore has over 100,000 supply at the moment and the british are dug in all over the place. I have moved over 400,000 oil points between Oz and India.

Hi, If Chunking is cut off from supply moving from bases in rear then it will run out of supply. I cannot predict since I do not know how many units are present. You can interpolate just by checking your supply requirements there.

I feal so dirty when I sink convoys with 4E bombers, makes porn feal wholsome. - Brady, Founding Member of the Japanese Fanboy Club
Sembawang naval base was a target on December 8th. It's very possible that the PH attack could have been delayed two hours to allow a surprise attack on Singapore. Even without a delay it's possible ships may have been sunk nonetheless. The thing is historically there was bad weather over Singapore.
Yes, as was Singapore proper, but they were night level "bombing" attacks and they were tracked by radar miles out and were NO surprise. I personally dont have a problem with "level" or "dive" bombing attacks on any ports. Just cant agree with carte blanche torpedo attacks in protected ports (especially by multi-engine LBs) and accross the board surprise. Both Singapore and the PI as oppose to PH were on "HIGH ALERT", both locations Tracked incoming raids prior to attack, in fact USAFFE tracked, scrambled and vectored fighters to intercept a IJN probing flight the day before the PH attack. The incredible circumstances that caught the planes at Clark not withstanding, I doubt very much any surprise to the degree at PH was possible at Singapore or PI, IMHO.

This should be factored into the base defenses to give a protection bonus. It may very well be, I haven't looked at the Manila or Singapore base forces to check. I know some of the Japanese BFs have a sound detactor, not sure what it does though.

Hi, If Chunking is cut off from supply moving from bases in rear then it will run out of supply. I cannot predict since I do not know how many units are present. You can interpolate just by checking your supply requirements there.
There isn't a whole lot of supply up that way anyway. Without Chungking it is not going to be enough to feed all those hungry Chinese.
