[KDonovan]

MAJ Putnam had a good career. He started off defending the Philipines where we racked up 5 kills against japanese torpedo bombers. His unit was then transferred to Soerabaja where in a losing battle against japanese Zero's, managed to rack up another 5 kills. Afterwards he was transfered to Derby to defend the air space there. Once again the Japanese came after him, this time with Sally's. Despite downing 6 bombers, a Zero shot him down over the harbor. Luckily Maj Putnam bailed out and was rescued, despite being wounded. He was then transferred to Brisbane to recover from his wounds. After making a full recovery, he was transferred to an Efate to fly CAP missions for convoys heading in and out of the Noumea area. Here Maj Putnam career ended. It was the morning of the 19th, taking off on another CAP mission, that his P40E engine cut out, forcing him into the crash landing. Despite landing belly up, the G-forces were to great shattering his spine, and severing his aorta...causing his death.

[RUPD3658]

Hopefully the ground crew won't find the remains of the small bomb that made his engine cut out. SNLF hit team had been trying for weeks to plant it.[;)]

Who is your top ace now? WO Handa is still my best at 18 kills.

[KDonovan]

Who is your top ace now? WO Handa is still my best at 18 kills.

This is the ship losses as of 7/29/42

Allies (259 ships)
4 CV - Sara, Big E, Illustrious, Victorius
3 CL - Boise, Detroit, Concord
41 DD - about 1/2 loss in ambush by KB while in transit from India to Oz
26 SS - most of them lost on 1st day of war from KB strike on Manila
32 PT - a Light Cruiser worth of points and only 2 torpedo hits to show (no sinkings)
6 PG - still have the Charleston..the only PG that really matters
1 PC - only 1 more left...do the allies even get anymore?
3 AVD - lost in front line stations of my outer defensive permiter to japanese DD's
2 AV - poor Langley
15 MSW - all have respawned already
3 DMS - don't like losing these
2 ML - a Destroyer worth of points, yet have sunk about 20 ships thus far
1 AE - useless until 1945
3 AS - all at Manila
10 AO - been careless with my oilers...this will hurt me in 43' when i will need them
16 TK - who cares...
]7 AP - not bad...no 2000 ones sunk...which are the important ones for those atolls
94 AK - and i still feel like i have too many

Japan (100 ships)
2 CV - Kaga, Junyo
1 CS - Chitose, sunk by 1 torpedo from a dutch submarine
3 CL - Tenryu, Kashii, Abukuma
22 DD - add another 4 to this.......as you will see
14 SS - average about 2 kills per month...seems historical
10 PG - most sunk near Rabual by the Boise
7 PC - most sunk by CD-guns
14 MSW - japan never seems to run out of these things
1 AO - hit by a B17 at Formosa in the 1st week of the war
1 TK - Dutch sub...again
18 AP - mostly sunk in landing operations
5 AK - pathetic considering the amount of shipping the japanese have


would've liked to hit more japanese shipping by now. But i haven't really started a true submarine warfare campaign yet, as my torps still suck..my boats have no radar, and we are playing with allied sub doctrine ON...so my skippers are scared little kittens

[RUPD3658]

94 AK - and i still feel like i have too many

I can help take care of this for you[:D]

32 PT - a Light Cruiser worth of points and only 2 torpedo hits to show (no sinkings)

One of these did sink a DD

22 DD - add another 4 to this.......as you will see

Turn just uploaded. Run it and you will get to see this happen.

2 ML - a Destroyer worth of points, yet have sunk about 20 ships thus far

There is a high bounty on the head of ML Captains. Lost more to these than any other ship. [:@] Glad I have 10x as many. 1943-44 will see my revenge in this area.

I've been following this AAR (having read all of its pages in the last day and a half) and have a few questions.

How has the Allied player managed to lose most of China and essentially all of India? I know he stated he's not very good at ground combat but, that's amazing.

For the Japanese player. Having spent (apparently) as you have most of your blood and treasure in China, India, and the DEI, how do you plan to defend against the eventual storm coming through the North, Central, and South Pacific?

It is only August '42, after all. Your forces seem to be "hitting the wall" already.

[RUPD3658]

How has the Allied player managed to lose most of China and essentially all of India? I know he stated he's not very good at ground combat but, that's amazing.

I bombed his resources and concentrated my forces in China. Not much the Allies can do to prevent this against a determined Japanese opponant.

In India I flanked his troops by landing between Madras and Calcutta. This allowed the Seac forces to be defeated piecemeal. The rapid capture of Singapore made this possible.

Please don't think Kenny is not a good player. He has made me pay dearly for all of this. Every time I drop my guard or get sloppy I get smacked. In fact I was losing the air war until May and still have lost more in A2A than I have shot down. Overall air losses are about even. Against the AI I would have done this in 1/2 the time.

For the Japanese player. Having spent (apparently) as you have most of your blood and treasure in China, India, and the DEI, how do you plan to defend against the eventual storm coming through the North, Central, and South Pacific?

Mines, LBA, CD units, and the KB are the plan. Hopefully it will just take him too long to get within range of the HI. I have already felt the sting of the 4E terrors.

I have a few tricks left and hope to be able to upset the time table for the Allied advance as much as possible.

If you want to see a really agressive Japanese player see Nemo121's Lunacy and Shrewdess AAR. I am a bit more conservative and Kenny and I are more flexable in regards to in game house rule changes.

[RUPD3658]

Making progress at Calcutta. Losses are about even but since his seem to be defending at 9x their AV 1:1 losses are quite acceptable.

Flak units are doing well againt his F5A recon units. Shot down 5 in the last 6 days.
