ORIGINAL: AdmSpruance
TITLE: THEY WERE EXPENDABLE: Nagumo vs Spruance
PLAYERS:AdmSpruance(A) vs Nagumo(J) (Bison Frontier)/Freeboy/Belphegor
MAP/MOD:Scn 15, stock map
SETTINGS: 1 Day Turns, no PDU's
CURRENT GAME: ALLIED AUTOVICTORY 1/1/45
COMMENTS: After overunning the SRA in 4/42, Japan builds up in the Marshalls for an assault on the Gilberts. Meanwhile, the Allies build up in the Gilberts for an assault on the Marshalls. Major meeting engagement between virtually the entire IJN and USN in the Gilberts in 7/42. Massive "Meeting Engagement" attritional battle fought from 7/1/42-9/1/42. Japan made a huge "Death Star" with 8 CVs and 3 CVLs. Over 600 Allied naval bombers were destroyed in 3 major carrier engagements with no CVs lost on either side. Massive BB, CA, CL and DD losses on both sides. Eerie stalemate between opposing airforces and fleets from Sept. 1942 to Feb. 1943. After massing 300 plus P-38s, the Allies launch "Operation Rolling Thunder" on 2/1/43 and destroy over 1000 Japanese AC in one week. After that, the back of Japanese land based air is broken and the Allies advance thru the Marshalls/Marianas/New Guinea/Palaus/Iwo/PI/Okinawa to achieve a 2:1 VICTORY on 1/1/45.
Game started in v1.3 and ended in v1.8. Its very interesting to see the air war change as new WitP versions are released.
Great, another Hall of Fame entry! [8D]
I found the link to this AAR, BTW. [;)]

I vaguely recall an AAR where the allied player held the Phillipines & Singapore, causing the Japanese player to throw in the towel...anyone else recall more on that one?

BTW, does anyone know/remember the name (or exact location) of the Japanese-side AAR that was the "other side" to the Allied "Fear and Loathing" AAR?

Thanks, and a small update:
Carrier battle near Samoa Islands, Yorktown and Saratoga ran into KB and sunk, with minimal damage to the Japanese.

Hi guys,
Just to say that Fabertong vs Speedy's game has come to an end in March 1945 with an Allied Victory.

Almost forgot about this list - I've started a new one a bit ago.
Title:
Rising Sun Over the Rockies
Players: Feurer Krieg [Jap.] vs. OSO [Allies]
Perspective: Japanese closed AAR
Map, Mod, Scen: AB Extended, Scen 160 CHS 2.08
Settings: PDU on, 1 day turns
House Rules: EXTENSIVE HRs to try and address some game engine issues. Most significant:
ATOLL STACKING RULES
Current game date: Game on March 3, but AAR is a couple weeks behind that.
Comments: Japan captured Johnston, Palmyra, Christmas Island, Luganville, most of DEI. AAR Style is no
report pasting. lots of pictures and general descriptions of main events. An easy read I think.
Link 1:

Link 2: None started yet. Maybe if you flood OSO's mailbox... [:D]
