even more so when there are two in a row... I'll leave it to you if it was succesful or not, a sub doesn't even carry enough gun ammo to sink a single unescorted small freighter... always been that way... [8|] not a single torp was fired...

lol, been a long time since I have seen that silliness happening... the sub is of course undamaged but the skipper obviously hasn't got a 90 agression rating so the not so smart thought out routine forces the sub to submerge without doing any damage...

Cuttlefish seems to run several unescorted freighters to his cut off bases...

Oh boy.....I really doubt anyone would blame you if you drop this game.

Moulmein area and the latest development... the majority of our Army has crossed the river and is continuing to march SW to cut Moulmein off, one unit was set to march West to let Cuttlefish think we would move onto the base already while the whole Army will try to close a ring around Moulmein with the spearhead then moving into the base to start the battle... we are operating 6500 av against the Japanese that have several divisions at Moulmein (including a tank(ette)[;)] Division)... two more divisions were spotted to come into the area from the East, it's now a race who will be in the hex SE of Moulmein first where also one or more units from Moulmein are moving to... could also be a full retreat though but I doubt that, if Moulmein falls, all of Thailand is threated...

Oh boy.....I really doubt anyone would blame you if you drop this game.

the game continued all the way into 43, we are about 2 months ahead of the AAR. The AAR will stay the same as it has been for over the last 6 months but believe it or not, the game is actually heating up a bit. Could be the last Japanese attempt to at least slow me or the start of really organized resistance.

as you can see on last post's screenshot we had a cruiser squadron going into position to bombard Moulmein which took place tonight... the cruisers do a good job even though halve of them targetted two enemy divisions which is nothing but a complete waste...

this is one of the things I don't understand at all... while CF has been slowly increasing his defense and seems to be a little more into the game lately, he allows me to bombard a base in an area where he should have total air superiority... it's late 42 afterall so why should the RAF/USAAF have air superiority in the area with nothing but Hurricanes supported by 75 P-40E and 200 bombers of all different types, the majority being crappy Blenheims...

my cruisers weren't spotted, if I had to guess I would say he doesn't even have patrols in the area... fighters, patrols and some Betties would mean total air and sea superiority for the Japanese, so it's just another example when he misses his chance while my Army is rolling forward...

Lol a year into the game and you have lost 11 a/c to flak.

ORIGINAL: Miller

Lol a year into the game and you have lost 11 a/c to flak.

this PBEM is more than special with the absence of CF's will to fight. Usually the targets that are bombed don't have any flak at all. Would it be a normal PBEM the numbers wouldn't be high either as we're used to, probably around 80-100 lost to flak at that date. That I have only lost 50 on the ground pretty much also mirrors that this is a very unique PBEM with one side having fallen asleep on all fronts until up to now at least.

for this boring PBEM it was an even more boring turn than usual...

that's been an interesting attack happening in the hex SE of Moulmein, the most important spot in the battle for Moulmein because if the Japanese can't hold this hex they will soon be either surrounded in Moulmein or they have to give up the base... we meet three IJ elite divisions, once more without having any support (common for Cuttlefish) and while we take slightly more losses we completely trash one of the IJ divs while our disablements were spread out over all my units which means pretty much nothing bad... got no doubt that we can kick out the enemy, problem at the moment is that our Army isn't well supplied because with the currently given supply line our units are fully filled up only once every four or five days so we'll have to wait a little...

as you can see on the screenshot the three enemy divisions have already been ordered to move West towards Moulmein... I am absolutely positive that we have already won the battle for Moulmein with the given situation as Cuttlefish just reacted far too late, he should have tried to stop my flanking maneuver weeks ago instead of just sitting in Moulmein with something like 6 divisions watching my units crawling through the jungle hexes... the Moulmein area is perfectly suited for defense and if we won't be stopped here, I am absolutely positive that we can overrun all of Thailand in the coming five or six months...

we also got our cruiser squadron moving into position once more to bombard Moulmein...

CT,

Are you playing with the BETA or the Official? If you are playing with the BETA. Are you seeing the kind of crazy fragmentation I posted about in the techsupport? I´m getting 200 plane bombings fragment into 15-20 pieces.

I see you are getting some fragmentation but not nearly as bad as that!

CT,

Are you playing with the BETA or the Official? If you are playing with the BETA. Are you seeing the kind of crazy fragmentation I posted about in the techsupport? I´m getting 200 plane bombings fragment into 15-20 pieces.

I see you are getting some fragmentation but not nearly as bad as that!

Hi

latest official patch. Have gone away from the betas as it meant upgrading the PBEM just too often. The way it is in my game is the same as it has always been. First one or two "big" waves, followed by the usual small raids < squadron size. So as soon as I will fly those 400+ aircraft strikes beginning some time in late 43 I have to get used to see about a dozen incoming "waves" per strike. And the size of these waves has always been nothing but silly and got nothing to do with any realism nor common sense. It's just what it has always been in that respect. Sorry that I can't comment on the latest beta as the official patch is far beyond the new beta.

I don´t want to upgrade either... But that HQ fragmentation bug is problematic to say the least [:(]

If you think fragmentation are bad in the official...wait until the BETA becomes the next official and you will have close to a hundred fragments per turn! I foresee my ESC key being worn out at a rate of 2 per month... [:'(]

Luckily haven't experienced that HQ bug so far and re the fragmentation, I am not so much against fragmentation, what I find ridicoulos though is the way the strikes look like as it just makes no sense and it sure isn't realistic because strikes didn't look that way 70 years ago, neither in the ETO nor PTO...

no less than 7 bombers lost to ops today of which 5 are 4E... milkruns against undefended targets, no enemy fighter in the air within 1000 miles and 5 4E crash on landing... what should one post in those "it's 42 and I can't fight B-17" threads? You get 15 B-17 per month until mid 42, then two dozen B-24 per month and you lose all of them to ops if you use them once a week without ever encountering a single enemy fighter so why should a somewhat competent IJ player not being able to completely shred the 4E bomber force until mid 43 when finally some usable escorts are available...
