Aussie Affair III - This time its personal!

[Raverdave]

Why are my farling coastal and CD units not doing anything to stop ratbrain shooting the stuffing out of my ships??????????[:(][:(][:(]

[Luskan]

Fear.

[pauk]

i think CD guns will shot on enemy ships only in two cases:

1. if they bombard the base

2. if they are part of invasion fleet which unloads troops

Otherwise, the enemy ships can enjoy and sink your ships...

(as JFB all i can say that i also enjoy in these moments of the game [:D] - shame on me[;)])

EDIT

ORIGINAL: Luskan

Fear.

[:D]

[String]

They also shoot minesweepers that are busy off the coast.

[Luskan]

Raver sinks som barges and 3 empty TKs at Kwaj, but I sink his DDs later that turn.  Arizona sinks, and New Orleans gets sunk by a sub.  And I sink another dozen allied ships.
 
Just to show some highlights of the sunk ship tally.
 
I've lost 1 BB.
Raver has lost 4, with another about to sink.
 
I've lost 15 dds
Raver has lost 35, with a few more about to sink/be sunk.
 
I've lost 2 CLs.
Raver has lost 8.
 
I've lost no CAs.
Raver has lost 7.
 
I've lost no CVs.
Raver has lost 1.
 
I've lost 2 AKs, and 5 APs.
Raver has lost 85 [:D] AKs and 8 APs.  Awesome.
 
I've calculated that Raver has lost over 100 ships in his little stunt at Kwaj - and I am confident (now I've done some reinforcing, resupplying) that I'm a: not gonig to loose any more ground, and b: going to be able to sink anything he sends close.

[Sneer]

i think i should be a little quilty
raverdave was in strong offensive combat mode from our game when you both started

[Luskan]

He isn't anymore though [:D]
 
Quieter turn this time around.  I gave a few air groups with KB a day off today - they've launched for so many days straight!  I had a few more "cleanup" surface combat tfs whip through - I've got KB stationed across the enemy escape route - the real issue is that Raver still has dozens of ships there, still unloading supply.  i've got to sink them, clear the ports, bomb the crap out of the CD units, bombard the airbases and invade.

A quick look at the score for those of you that are interested.

I need to wipe a few more allied army points off the board - china will suffice for that.
Air to air has been VERY pleasing, since those losses are at Kwaj, but my air to air losses are generally sonias etc in china.

enjoy.

I am blown away at Raver's aggressiveness. What are ya thinking laddie?[:D]

[anarchyintheuk]

Winning with a fleet is for pansies.

[Oliver Heindorf]

uh-oh, seems that the ole Banana is back on full strengh now. time to change that !

come on ole banana, I will make a banana-split of you now



Luskan and I had to terminate our game because of a bug I never heard of so we are just days away to keep it on again. cant wait. And I read here and already got ideas [:'(]

[Sneer]

after playing with Raverdave full year i think i understand him well
i'm not surprised with what i see
unless you hurt Raverdave with each early attack he will not stop coming
short term losses are nothing important for him
you need to force him to think that going behind fence will be pointless
breaking into his plans is sth like that
forcing to abandon ideas , atacking with tempo etc
so far Luskan was far from that
and Raverdave can take much bigger punishment than any other player in PBEM

Is he in charge of the Soviet Army or the Ceylons or something? I would hate to have been a grunt/sailor/pilot under his command![:D] The "just a flesh wound" school of command!

[Raverdave]

All of the ships that have so far been sunk are all pre-war units.............you should SEE whats queued up in the shipping yards.  I can take double the losses that I have so far and STILL be uneffected in my ability to resupply and transport troops.  Luskan is in for a hard time.

[Luskan]

All pre war units eh? What about Liberty?
 
I am aware Raver can absorb the losses long term - but the point is to have sunk enough allied shipping to get my autovictory at the end of 42 or 43.  I haven't doubled Raver's score yet, but once Manila/Singapore/Java fall . . . throw in some losses in China, and another few thousand points worth of sunk allied shipping (for no cost to me) . . . you get the picture.
 
 

[Raverdave]

Auto victory??????   [X(]   Do I LOOK like I am playing with auto-victory in mind?  We are playing to the death, no stinking arbitrary  Auto-victory for us !

[Luskan]

We won't stop playing after autovictory, this is true.  The true test is to see if I "win" before I inevitably loose the war - or at least see if I last longer.
 
The trick with the late-jap game is to avoid dice rolls as much as possible.  At the start of the war, the dice go the japs way - but later in the game . . . well, CD units, minelayers and forts go a lot further than surface combat/cv assets.

[Luskan]

As you'll be able to see from the date, I forgot to post the CR for the 8th of Feb.  Looked the same as the 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, well every day in Feb really.  My planes took off and sunk allied transports and my ships slipped in and sunk allied transports.  DD Otori must have hit a mine (wasn't reported though) because she was messed up the next turn, but she'll make it.  I've had 10 damaged surface combat ships in return for probably 150 of Raver's ships sunk.  More of the same again this turn.
 
This turn and last turn my units have carefully attacked Soerbaja and reduced the fort, for minimal losses on both sides, and minimal disruption and fatigue.  I'm going to complete my southern Java conquest first, then move back north (want to isolate from Oz).  Which will mean taking Bali as soon as possible.  Soerbaja is 3-5 turns from falling - shameful that I haven't managed to knock Singapore or Manila or Clark off yet.

Luskan must be busy make beer tonight as there is no turn in my inbox.  [:(]

[Luskan]

My department had a  . . . quality control session from 5pm until 7am, when it was discovered the sun had somehow come back up and we were due back at work in 2 hours . . . just a warm up for the real deal tomorrow.
 
I've learnt never to do turns for Raver when I'm drunk anyway.  Tend to miss things.
