Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!!

[Raverdave]

From Sneer's current possition he could make a move into India, but he still need to secure the oil fields in the DEI, and until he does so I cannot see him making any bold adventures beyond his inital objectives, at least not for the next few months. Once he has the oil fields in his hot little hands the Pacific will be his oyster, or so he thinks. I plan to throw a few curve balls.

[Sneer]

india, australia or central pacific are campaignswhich have one cheracteristic - once you commit LCU there you will not withdraw them 3 months later to take oil fields.
So there is no way to forget about java and borneo now.
there are many ways to prepare each theater for major swing in offensive movement like securing burma for india or securing PM for OZ movement or secure gilberts and run south for central Pac movement. all can be done in the same time as dei is secured.
players can use diffrent openings but all must move to java/borneo/ sumatra till april/may unless they want to lose game. later each game is diffrent

[Sneer]

absolutely best way I think game can be played by Japan is keeping all options open as long as possible

From Sneer's current possition he could make a move into India, but he still need to secure the oil fields in the DEI, and until he does so I cannot see him making any bold adventures beyond his inital objectives, at least not for the next few months.

Given the speed with which he took Singapore and Clark, I'm not sure it will take that much time. BTW, what is wrong with your artillery? Your bombardment attacks either do nothing, or lose as many units as you destroy.

[Sneer]

allied fighted tooday a very good battle in Manila - I was in theory ready but my bombers due to weather did not supported and instead of low forts (only 1!) and numerical advantage i failed to make a progress
bloody river crossing at Yenen - mostly troops are disrupted but it will give my enemy enough time
Singapore harbour clear
Rangoon taken and 4 burmanes brigades start having problems
I'll doo my best to bring problem to the rest of burmanese army
nice action of I 171 however he missed with second AO

The river ran red with jap blood. Ha!
In the meantime my move out of Rangoon to meet Sneer at the river has come unstuck. The bugger used jap paras to to swipe Rangoon under my nose while to the north he has sent a blocking force. I now have three Brigades in some real trouble.

[Sneer]

disruption only as I don't see many army points lost [:D]

[Sneer]

for a long time I have not seen souch bad wetaher in WITP in DEC
2/3 of my mission flights was not done - moreale ok , escort ok but weather closed airfield - day ago when I had support at Manila I would bring forts to 0 and had a chance to take Manila before January
Bad luck but Manila will not stand longer then 1st week of Jan

3. - 3 bde which were caught with pants at ankles

[Sneer]

situation on PI

[Raverdave]

Well it looks like I have pretty much lost the entire Royal Australian Navy in a single sortie. [:(] I was determined to put up a big fight for PM, but as sneer has posted he spotted them a few days before had and had some CVs in position to make sure than none got home.

[Sneer]

we clean last result of beta patch bug
war relations should be restarted soon

[Sneer]

Operation agains Java begun
HK port operational
enemy ships running at Rangoon spoted - moving valuable assets out on secondary airfileds
Raver supports Akyab
probably by troops evacuated from Rangoon - My bet
