RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
I've no longer any time for writting this AAR [:(]
The game will go on and Japan as a decent chance to win. So I think it will last 1 or 2 years before the end. [:D]

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
Just wanted to say that this game is still going on. Fdeutsch and I are still slugging it out in the Pacific. We aren't using CHS or anything, just the 1.8 stock patches. House rules prevent night bombing, moving the Kwantung Area Army anywhere except their front against the Russians (unless I pay to change their HQ), or using carrier capable air units on carriers until 1944.
Its currently 7/7/1943, and here is the situation by front from the Japanese (my) perspective:
1. Overall: My strategy has been to secure a defensive perimeter in the Pacific and Burma/Bay of Bengal and concentrate my attacks on China, and the situation seems reasonably good for Japan. My industrial buildouts are pretty much done, though there will probably be some late game tuning if the supplies, resources and oil hold out. Supply is plentiful and casualties are low. Airforce unit quality is holding up well so far However, the real Allied push and Japanese attrition is yet to come. Fdeutsch's Hellcat replacements started on 7/1/43, so he will probably start his counterattack in the Pacific fairly soon. My bases are too far from his for the Corsair menace to have an effect--yet. Fdeutsch is going to have to get moving to prevent a Japanese autovictory, because I am up a bit better than 3-1 in VPs right now and will pick up at least a few thousand more VPs in China before 1944. So, I'm sure that he will come in armada strength before long in order to attrit me enough to get below the 3-1 autovictory threshold for 1944.

I've had much the better of the naval battles so far. There have been no carrier vs. carrier actions, and not that many surface actions. Fdeutsch lost the Saratoga and the Lexington to land based air in a failed 1942 attempt to make a landing on New Guinea while KB was on the attack elsewhere. The battleships he lost were all in the Bay of Bengal to various 1942 raids by KB. American old BB losses and British destroyer losses have been very high, the Dutch DDs are pretty much all sunk. Most of the American DD losses are old flush deckers, so he is ok there. The British carriers have escaped unhurt though, and are now teamed with the American carrier force. That combined force was last seen by one of my seaplane-carrying uber recon subs off Northern New Zealand about a month ago.
Here is the situation by theater:
Bay of Bengal/Burma: On the defensive here, but holding pretty well. Fdeutsch is making a major attempt to take Akyab over the jungle trails, but he's hung up by the 5-6 veteran brigades and divisions I have moved to Akyab. Fair amount of air combat around Pagan and Mandalay, which Fdeutsch bombs fairly often. Elsewhere Sabang, the Andamans and Nicobars are built up and fine, and the royal navy has a surface group in the area but so do I. A few units from the China Expeditionary Army have filtered in over the Burma Road from Yunan to help with the defense of North Burma now that most of the Burma army is at Akyab
SRA: Very quiet right now. Allies are entrenched in Northern Oz, I have everything else. First tier of bases in Timor, Maumere and Java are in good shape, building up the second tier running through West New Guinea, Kendari/Macassar and Borneo behind them. Almost no Allied shipping left within easy range of the area or even at Perth. With the Brits worn down he will have to bring American shipping around Australia or south of New Guinea to strike here.
Solomons/New Guinea: I control all of New Guinea and the Solomons, with lots of major bases built up and garrisoned. The Allies have built up Espiritu Santo, the Townsville area in Oz and have a couple small airfields in the Santa Cruz Islands. So far he has made almost no attempts at air raids. Still, the Allies may strike at Lunga, Rennel Island (where I have maxed out the airfield), Port Moresby or Gili Gili where I have a small base
Gilberts/Marshalls/Wake: Also quiet, the Allies have built up Midway, Baker Island and the size 4 airfield about 10 hexes south of Tarawa, but there hasnt even been any recon flights out of those. The gilberts are built up except for Apemama, which fortified but undeveloped. Nauru is built up and so are pretty much all the good airfields in the Marshalls and Wake.
Bonins/Marianas/Palau: Bases are well underway here in my second defensive line.
Kuriles: Quiet here. So far not even any American bases at Attu and Kiska. I've built up or am building up all the size 4 and larger airfield sites.
Manchuria: Well over the 8000 strength needed to keep the Russians quiet. No fighting here except for some Chinese troops that the Kwantung Area Army has chased across the the border into alledgedly neutral Russia.
China: The focus of my offensive efforts in the game. If you have read the earlier AAR entries you will have seen that I heavily bombed Chinese resource and oil sites in order to knock out the supplies for the Chinese, and after some hard fighting I have now reaped the rewards. Central China has been entirely taken except for Ichang, which I am using for pilot training. Chungking and all the surrounding high VP bases are taken and garrisoned, though the remnants of about 20 Chinese units are moving around on the trail hexes near Yunan. In the North, Sian is taken and I am bombing his remaining bases from there and Chengting. About 5-10 Chinese HQ and combat units have escaped from this area and have fled across the border into the Soviet Union, but I have re-established the "pocket" and there should be no more escapees. My offensive will take his last base in Southern China next turn, and after that all that is left is about 50 worn-out units at Hanoi/Haiphong, which I am bombarding from the air. I'm sure that will be a fight, but I have scores of my divisions and brigades down there, and most of them are highly experienced after 18 months of fighting in the SRA and China. I have recaptured the small airfields in the interior of Laos and Cambodia that were lost to Fdeutsch's early-game Chinese offensive into Indochina. I expect that Chinese resistance will be entirely crushed by the end of 1943.
So wish me luck and I will come back and update again once we get towards 1944 or if the attack of the American Steamroller makes for some good reading!
Autovictory and an end to the pointless Allied sacrifice in 44'!

Most of the American DD losses are old flush deckers, so he is ok there. The British carriers have escaped unhurt though, and are now teamed with the American carrier force. That combined force was last seen by one of my seaplane-carrying uber recon subs off Northern New Zealand about a month ago.
Here is the situation by theater:
Bay of Bengal/Burma: On the defensive here, but holding pretty well. Fdeutsch is making a major attempt to take Akyab over the jungle trails, but he's hung up by the 5-6 veteran brigades and divisions I have moved to Akyab. Fair amount of air combat around Pagan and Mandalay, which Fdeutsch bombs fairly often. Elsewhere Sabang, the Andamans and Nicobars are built up and fine, and the royal navy has a surface group in the area but so do I. A few units from the China Expeditionary Army have filtered in over the Burma Road from Yunan to help with the defense of North Burma now that most of the Burma army is at Akyab
SRA: Very quiet right now. Allies are entrenched in Northern Oz, I have everything else. First tier of bases in Timor, Maumere and Java are in good shape, building up the second tier running through West New Guinea, Kendari/Macassar and Borneo behind them. Almost no Allied shipping left within easy range of the area or even at Perth. With the Brits worn down he will have to bring American shipping around Australia or south of New Guinea to strike here.
Solomons/New Guinea: I control all of New Guinea and the Solomons, with lots of major bases built up and garrisoned. The Allies have built up Espiritu Santo, the Townsville area in Oz and have a couple small airfields in the Santa Cruz Islands. So far he has made almost no attempts at air raids. Still, the Allies may strike at Lunga, Rennel Island (where I have maxed out the airfield), Port Moresby or Gili Gili where I have a small base
Gilberts/Marshalls/Wake: Also quiet, the Allies have built up Midway, Baker Island and the size 4 airfield about 10 hexes south of Tarawa, but there hasnt even been any recon flights out of those. The gilberts are built up except for Apemama, which fortified but undeveloped. Nauru is built up and so are pretty much all the good airfields in the Marshalls and Wake.
Bonins/Marianas/Palau: Bases are well underway here in my second defensive line.
Kuriles: Quiet here. So far not even any American bases at Attu and Kiska. I've built up or am building up all the size 4 and larger airfield sites.
Manchuria: Well over the 8000 strength needed to keep the Russians quiet. No fighting here except for some Chinese troops that the Kwantung Area Army has chased across the the border into alledgedly neutral Russia.
China: The focus of my offensive efforts in the game. If you have read the earlier AAR entries you will have seen that I heavily bombed Chinese resource and oil sites in order to knock out the supplies for the Chinese, and after some hard fighting I have now reaped the rewards. Central China has been entirely taken except for Ichang, which I am using for pilot training. Chungking and all the surrounding high VP bases are taken and garrisoned, though the remnants of about 20 Chinese units are moving around on the trail hexes near Yunan. In the North, Sian is taken and I am bombing his remaining bases from there and Chengting. About 5-10 Chinese HQ and combat units have escaped from this area and have fled across the border into the Soviet Union, but I have re-established the "pocket" and there should be no more escapees. My offensive will take his last base in Southern China next turn, and after that all that is left is about 50 worn-out units at Hanoi/Haiphong, which I am bombarding from the air. I'm sure that will be a fight, but I have scores of my divisions and brigades down there, and most of them are highly experienced after 18 months of fighting in the SRA and China. I have recaptured the small airfields in the interior of Laos and Cambodia that were lost to Fdeutsch's early-game Chinese offensive into Indochina. I expect that Chinese resistance will be entirely crushed by the end of 1943.
So wish me luck and I will come back and update again once we get towards 1944 or if the attack of the American Steamroller makes for some good reading!
Autovictory and an end to the pointless Allied sacrifice in 44'!

Good Job Esteban ^^ I think it will be hard to avoid auto-victory. I've been too bold in China [8|]
A damaged ship is only a missed opportunity

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
There aren't many games other than War in the Pacific where you could go 16 months between AAR entries and still have the game going strong. Welcome back! It looks like it has been a pretty good game so far.

So I said that I would post again when we got to 1944, and 1944 is here!!

So the Allied conterattack has started and it has been directed at the lower Solomons. Right now fdeutsch has taken Tulagi and the Russel Islands, though he only has a size one airfield built so far and he has not attempted a landing at Lunga or Rennel Island. Starting in October of 43, the lower Solomons campaign has been marked by and huge night actions that I have generally won and one carrier action that I lost. There have been the usual huge air battles as well, but overall the air war losses are not unfavorable to me. However, the losses have been high enough that I am well away from the 3-1 ratio I need to get a 1944 autovictory.
In the meantime I have completed my conquest of Hanoi and Haiphong, destroying the remains of about 40 Chinese units there. Now I have pushed the remaining units in China into Sining in the North and that will fall (ending the Chinese campaign) within a week or two. Fdeutsch has managed to get about 10 Chinese units to India, and maybe there are 6-8 that skipped across the border into the Soviet Union.
Here is the current score!

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
Here's the current situation in the Solomons as of 1/1/1944. I have light naval forces at Buin and Shortlands, with huge Allied fleets at Tulagi and some PT boats at the Russell Islands. You can also see TF markers for a couple subs Fdeutsch has a Nauru. Fdeutsch has his carriers plus about 100-150 Corsairs flying over Tulagi (overloading the airfields). There are several American para battalions on the Russells and about 4-5 divisions plus a huge stack of engineers on Tulagi.
My aircraft are at Buin and Shortlands. The airfields at Lunga, Rennell Island and Munda are pretty much knocked out right now.

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
Here is the current situation in Burma and China, which are the only other theaters where there is significant combat right now.
In Burma, Fdeutsch still has his army at Akyab, but I have reinforced Burma with units freed up from the China Expeditionary Army when Southern China and North Indochina were cleared. For now, it doesn't look like the Allies will be taking Akyab anytime soon. I am keeping recon flights over the bases around Imphal and Ledo, so if he attempts to attack Burma across the jungle trails I will have ample warning of it.
In China you can see that everything except Sining has been captured. Most of my troops are of course at Sining, finishing off the Chinese campaign. Pretty much everywhere else is garrisoned except for Ichang, which I have rechristened as the Imperial Japanese Air Combat Training Center since it is out of the way, not worth many VPs and surrounded at a short distance by major airfields at Changsha, Wuhan, Hsinyang and Homan.
Sining probably has no more than a week or two left before it falls. In fact, another attack is going in next turn and that will probably reduce the fortifications there to level 5 and may even capture the city. Fdeutsch was nice enough to fly his Indian para brigade and a Burmese infantry brigade into Sining to try to help out the Chinese, so those units will be joining the bag of PoWs once the city falls. The city will fall though, I am generating 5-1 and 6-1 odds even with the 20 or so units and originally level 8 (now down to 6) fortifications that Fdeutsch has there. Once the fortifications wear down a little more the city will fall and the mass surrender will begin. Fdeutsch did try to use his air force from Ledo to supply and bomb at Sining, but in doing so he stopped suppressing my Burmese airfields and my own bombers pasted his P-38Js, B-24s and C-46s on the ground at Ledo. As I said, the net effect of his air missions from Ledo was to throw more troops into the trap at Sining.

In Burma, Fdeutsch still has his army at Akyab, but I have reinforced Burma with units freed up from the China Expeditionary Army when Southern China and North Indochina were cleared. For now, it doesn't look like the Allies will be taking Akyab anytime soon.

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
Other than China, Burma and the Solomons the situation is the same that it was in my last AAR at July, 1943. Things in the SRA, New Guinea, Gilberts/Marshalls, Wake, Kuriles and Manchuria are all very quiet for now. A couple of the airfields on Timor have been knocked out by raids from North Oz, but thats about it.
Now I will go over the changes in VP status and losses since 7/7/1943:
Aircraft: On July 7, 1943 VPs the Japanese had lost 6910 aircraft, with 7086 aircraft lost by the Allies. Those numbers are now at 14197 and 12095 respectively. So you can see that the Japanese have lost nearly 7300 aircraft and the Allies 5000 aircraft in the last 6 months of game time. This is mostly in the Solomons, where the Allied carriers and long-range fighters and bombers have been heavily engaged. Once he builds out his airfields more, we will see more Corsairs and Thunderbolts in action. Also, per our house rules Francois and I can start using carrier-capable air units in combat roles on carriers now, so there will probably be Corsairs on many of the Allied carriers before long. This is good for Francois obviously, not only because of the power of the Corsairs, but because he has lost thousands of naval aircraft in the Solomons, so his previously huge backlog of trained naval pilot replacements has probably been mostly used up by now.
Ships: In July, 43' naval losses by class were:
Class Japan Allies
CV 0 2
CVL/CVE 0 0
BBs 0 10
CAs 0 5
CLs 1 8
DDs 7 39
Subs 23 57
Total 67 463
You can see the total numbers in the first post with the 1/1/1944 scoring above. So in the last 6 months I have lost about 90 ships and Fdeutsch has lost almost 160. Nearly all of these were in a series of night actions and air raids in the Solomons. Since July 43' the losses by class have been:
Class Japan Allies
CV 1 0
CVL/CVE 2 0
BBs 2 7
CAs 6 9
CLs 7 6
DDs 21 43
Subs 6 8
As you can see, Allied BB losses in the Solomons have been very heavy, and they were already heavy going into July 43'. At this point, I think the only old Allied BBs left are the Mississippi and the Nevada (which are both significantly damged), and all of the 4 Alabama/South Dakota class new BBs have been sunk as well. I think that at this point the only operational BBs the Americans have left are the North Carolina and the Washington. For my part the major losses have been the Akagi, Zuiho and Ryujo, which were lost a couple months ago in a carrier engagement near Guadlcanal. Most of my best surface action light cruisers have been sunk, but other than that none of my combat ship classes have been seriously impacted. KB had its air arm badly shot up in the carrier action I mentioned, but training of the new pilots is proceeding well and new carriers have arrived from the shipyards to replace the ones I have lost. My repair yards are full of the survivors of the battles around Guadlcanal, but repairs are proceeding well and nearly all the cripples from the battles are safe now.
Army losses since July 43' have been about 2500 points for the Allies and 400 for me. Most of the Allied losses were in China and North Burma. About 50 Chinese units surrendered at Haiphong when the fighting in Indochina wrapped up, and about a dozen more worth about 500 VPs surrendered when Yenen was taken a couple months ago. A few more units were destroyed around Myitikyina when they tried to escape into India. My army losses in the Solomons have been very light, since Fdeutsch has avoided my well garrisoned bases at Lunga and Rennell Island in favor of the smaller, lightly garrisoned islands.
So where do we go from here? Who knows! Fdeutsch seems to finally be trying to soften up the SRA a little bit, but he has no shipping in the area to launch any invasions. Within a week or two the vast majority of the China army will be available, so I will have to put them to work somewhere else.
I'll post another round of this AAR once we get towards the middle of 1944, unless something dramatic happens in which case you will get an update before then!

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
This game has reached mi-1944 and is now ended. Due to new job, I have no time to go on.
Thanks to Esteban to play with me 3 years

RE: esteban (Japan) against fdeutsch (Allies) : alternative strategy with historical means
Yes, we are calling the game in late May, 1944 after 3 years of play. The Allies control Apamama in the Gilberts, most of the Solomons, lower New Guinea up through Lae and Finschafen and the islands directly north from Darwin, including Kai Island. The Allies are stalled at Kai Island, where the airfield has been closed for months by the Tokyo Express and bombing from Amboina/upper New Guinea, but they are advancing elsewhere.
I invaded Russia with the troops freed up from China. We had to put in some new house rules to prevent it from being a complete Japanese walkover there, but now the bulk of the Russian army are set up in defensive positions at Chita or around Ulan Bator. Pretty much everything between Chita and the Pacific Ocean (including all the resource/industrial cities) has been overrun, but a couple bases and trapped units are at Rukhlovo and Prokhorvka (spelling those from memory, so maybe wrong on exact spellings) are holding out for the moment.
The VP count has the Japanese just over 60,000 and the Allies at about 31K-32K. So we are most certainly not getting a Japanese autovictory in 1945. Allied I can't say opn the autovictory in 45', but they would probably have to invade Japan at this point to generate the VPs to win the game.
I'd like to thank Francois for sticking with this game since September of 2005! As you can see we have pretty much been able to stay on a 1 turn per day schedule during that time. We have completed nearly 28 months of the game in the last 39 months of real time and given the VP count we would probably be continuing on into late 1945 or all the way into Spring of 46' before we finished.
