Got the wrong turn from the Allies...with three games going this happens.

Allied bombardments are always super strong. Three runways closed...plenty of units to absorb the bombardments, even the Wake CD unit at one base, 500 plus mines, all to really no avail.

Ha, you must have gotten mine because I definitely got yours! [:D]

This is why I have different installation folders for each game.

Hi Lowpe - did you have your FP on night recon for this bombardment? I've found that night time recon during a bombardment makes a big difference.

Back to the yards.

Nagato managed to disable one non-combat squad.

See post 2783 for combat report which includes the Jake spotter.[:)]

Lots of sub encounters, Sallies strike Chungking for about 30 HI damage but they leave their Oscar Escorts at home...

Argh.

Ouch.

Air losses...

No attacks on the embedded Kongo....while Japan got focused on Prince of Wales.

Good day for the Allies....

Pitiful. Me, that is.

Here we go...

Wow, ouch. You had position and CAP, but your CAP simply failed you miserably. [:(]

89 A6M vs 10 F2A should have been a 'Turkey' shoot, but it wasn't. So sorry to see this ...


Junyo's, well they think they saw a bomb and they sink in my experience. They are like a CVE wrapped with an AKE for ignition and a TK center to burn.

Hard to tell without the rest of those combat reports - was the attack low while the CAP was high? Weather? Out of position CAP? [:(]

Yeah.....

Jeff is a trooper. He'll be even more dangerous in future games, because any set of circumstances he faces won't be as challenging as what he's dealing with now. What will it take to rattle him?

The Enola Gay with fighter escorts? [:D]

It is like your 'random roll' is stuck at suck.
If you have been running this game all on one machine, I would look at doing a clean install, patch and migrate the next turn over to another platform.

This much bad luck is unnatural.

Is your copy of 'My Little Pony' still helping or are we at the 'What Dreams May Come' level yet (Orpheus in the Underworld).

There is no point in attributing all these results to just bad luck.
 
The logical answer is that the Allies are doing many things well and Japan is operating in the opposite direction.  What is needed is a forensic analysis of what has transpired to see where improvement is possible and how to specifically counter Allied settings.

Jeff hasn't attributed anything to luck, so far as I know. He's just soldiering on quietly in a difficult game. To the extent others have, they are being polite, seeking a respectful way of offering support.

I'm not discounting your thoughts. And I agree with Canoerebal that Jeff has not bemoaned the gods of dice during this game.

Still, for a minute there when I first read your post, I had a flash-back to younger days watching Star Trek on the telly. You sounded remarkably Spock-like in this post - lol.
