AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/12/42


So i got to pay the victory of yesterday...a very bad day, even if i cannot tell the real results because i recieved only the reply...

However...he sent another SCTF...a CL and a DD got two mines at Karachi, and my subs didn't get a single torpedo finding the target[:@]
The arrived the BBs...20k deads at Karachi, base closed and my precious supplies really burnt...the base has been really NUKED[:(][:(][:(]
Then a storm of 300 japanese bombers, escorted by hundreds of Oscars stormed Malir...he paid however an heavy price for the results he achieved...

But the worst news of the day was in the Pacific.
As said the Saratoga and the Lex were going back to PH...well escorted as usual...we engaged a sub during the night...it escaped from my DDs and managed to get a fish into the Sara...Fuel Storage Explosion[:o][:o][:o]...can't wait to see how many damages she got..[:@][:@]...hope not to lose her... uffff[:(]...anyway the american Repair Yards can do magics, so i'm still confident!

Dont worry, Saratoga is only on fire. Not on fire + heavy damage. She should survive the trip home to PH.

Yes, let's hope so...i'll try to change her course not to be too predictable...let's see...think however she'll have to stay in port for some time...glad to have 3 ARs at PH just arrived from Panama...[;)]
 
Anyway my subs are becoming more efficient and that's a good news to me. I'm really seeing their improovements day by day...
 
But guys...with those BBs how long can Karachi hold? have you seen the results?-...my supplies stockpiled with so much troubles will be burnt in few days...[:o]

Could you please make a more detailed analysis of real loses after this bombardment? I mean which of your units suffered and how much, how many supplies were destroyed and such. This would give some data to base predictions on.
Saratoga should be fine, no heavy damage is a good sign.

Karachi can hold. Its a city hex, which means that your units at worst (without supply or forts) will fight at x0.25. The bombardments affect your second line troops, but your combat values should be practically unharmed. See it this way. If you have to fight somewhere in 1942, Karachi would be it. If you leave Karachi or if he captures Karachi, then all his units that are now in India will head to Australia.
 
The guy you are playing against is one of the most gamey players Ive ever come across, and the houserules you have agreed to is making it practically impossible to stop him now.
 
One question though. Exactly what are the changes he has made to the scenario? Im getting the sinking feeling that you will be up against some really magical jap fighters in 43-44...

Don't say so, please. I would like not to make this game becoming an attack against Trollelite.
We're playing CHS scenario 160, and i havent seen any changes from the normal CHS scenario file, so i assume he hasn't edited anything.

What puzzles me most is that not even a single coastal gun shot back during the BBs' run...not a single one!

No, we're playing CHS 160. What Panzerjaeger was saying is that he probably has edited the scenario. While i do not agree with this statement-

BTW, I found this in a Karachi newspaper just after that KB attack. It seems the defenders of Karachi are a tough lot. [:)]
