RE: From Imperial GHQ
Didn`t mean to sound unappreciative of your AAR, it`s a Hoot. as well as being useful in seeing how the game plays out....[8D] Thanks for taking the time.
Did the Yorktown auto retreat to S.F. harbor ?
Did the Yorktown auto retreat to S.F. harbor ?
STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!
Intelligence sources in Washington DC indicate that the Banana may have been overthrown in Japan. According to HYPO, the Banana has been locked in a fruit cellar and was last heard to be screaming
"FIGHT TO THE LAST.........FIGHT TO THE LAST"
Alas....cooler heads have pervailed. The situation is hopeless and thousands are dead on the beaches of SF and if anything the Yankee defences are stronger than ever, now buttressed at Level 9 forts.
New orders have been transmitted to Combined Fleet....."Try and get them out"
Unfortunately this will be harder than ever thanks to the Banana.....who before being aprehended...ordered Admiral Nagumo to launch a Port Attack on SF to bag yet one more Yankee carrier. Thx to that......KB is broken.
BAD BANANA!

"FIGHT TO THE LAST.........FIGHT TO THE LAST"
Alas....cooler heads have pervailed. The situation is hopeless and thousands are dead on the beaches of SF and if anything the Yankee defences are stronger than ever, now buttressed at Level 9 forts.
New orders have been transmitted to Combined Fleet....."Try and get them out"
Unfortunately this will be harder than ever thanks to the Banana.....who before being aprehended...ordered Admiral Nagumo to launch a Port Attack on SF to bag yet one more Yankee carrier. Thx to that......KB is broken.
BAD BANANA!

RE: STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!
KB retreats with a mere 116 planes left to their name. The only 'good' news is that all six fleet carriers are still afloat having only lost two CVL's (if you include the old Hosho)

RE: STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!
More bad news for the Japanese. In addition to the air losses. The TF that was carrying much of Formosa's land based air strength was sunk at sea by interposing Allied TF's. These air units were to have been used once the Banana's forces had secured SF.

RE: From Imperial GHQ
ORIGINAL: Black Cat
Didn`t mean to sound unappreciative of your AAR, it`s a Hoot. as well as being useful in seeing how the game plays out....[8D] Thanks for taking the time.
Did the Yorktown auto retreat to S.F. harbor ?
no....that was a pure game quirk. SF is the "portal" for USN ship reinforcments so she sort of "magically" appeared in harbor along with a bunch of transports. The Banana figured.....hey dont look a gift horse in the mouth. I thought it was going to be free points for the Japanese.....turned out to be the death knell of Japanese carrier aviation (for the time being) Xfring the airgroups to SF seemed the safest bet......if i'd created a CV TF, Yorktown would have been dead meat
Of course if this had been a real game.....and if i was feeling nasty, i could have done the same with the other three CV's too (land the airgoups and just launch em from SF) but i figured that wouldn't have been how the real commanders would have played it. That and i was afraid the airgoups would ahve been destroyed either on the ground or in the air.
Ah well.....yeah it was three US CV's, but in return i've banged up KB for no gain and sank two CVL's Hornet Wasp and Yorktown are still in the mix......and the SRA is safe (heh)
RE: RETREAT!
Evacuation is proceeding. Allied airplanes are ALL OVER THE PLACE........troops are reportedly exhausted but still feeling loyal towards the banana. Wondering why they've been called off. They felt they were just getting the measure of the Americans.

RE: STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!
Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow OW!!!!!! This hurts just to read!
Various semi-random thoughts: Air traffic control must be a bitch for the US.
After this, they won't speak Japanese even in Hell when the US gets done.
And one of the limitations of the game vs. reality. Sorry, Nikademus, sir, but the Japanese ships are NOT in the harbor unloading. All the port facilities are inside the Bay, not on the Pacific. You can only get to them by passing thru the Golden Gate. And you are NOT passing thru the Gate unless you control the Presidio (which basically means most of the city of San Francisco), the Marin headlands AND Alcatraz Island. Its only a mile to mile and a half wide, so you'd be facing coastal defense batteries firing at about 1,000 yards. From three directions. (Each side and directly ahead.) [:-] (But then again, you probably already know this, so I'll shut up now. [:D])

This game does not have a learning curve. It has a learning cliff.

Any bugs I report are always straight stock games.

RE: RETREAT!
The end is near for the bulk of the 5th Division and the 65th Brigade........ Much of the other divisions were evacuating though the losses at sea continue

NEWSFLASH
US Commanders have declared the battle of San Francisco to be concluded. Troops destroyed the last pockets of resistance on US soil today. All that remains now is the continued mopping up of the scattered and retreating merchant forces that were used to first ship, then evacuate thousands of Japanese troops.
(Do i know hold the record for mid-ocean intercepts?)
***
Japan:
Japanese commanders were forced to scuttle no less than 13 ships this day alone, including a Japanese light cruiser too damaged to have any hope of reaching base.
