Scenario 15 stock Closed
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 11:44 pm
Looking for a Jap opponent for stock scenario 15. I have owned the game for over two years and quit in frustration after 3/42 because of the totally useless AI. Not to mention the joke of a automatic convoy system. After looking through all the postings the best requirement that i see is for respect. Respect for historical accuracy in execution and your opponent. If you think its beyond the pale it usually is and should be discounted. Transfer units from one theatre to another you will pay the PP. I can play one to two turns a day. More on weekends.
HR
1 day turns
historical first turn on
allied damage control on
advanced weather effects on
sub doctrine on for myself. Opponents preference for Japs
sub auto ops on for me. Opponents preference for Japs
my HR would be:
Reinforcement schedule historical
-only one port attack on turn one, no abuse of the turn one movement bonus (means no landings on turn 7 in Australia or something like that)
-No amphib invasions in India or Burma till Singapore falls
-No naval operations by Japs east of Pearl Harbour till PH is taken. Alaska is fair game anytime.
-When you take a city you must leave a credible garrison there. Take Calcutta and leave ten cops and a old dog as a garrison is unacceptable.
-max. aircraft on airfield max. 50*airfield size (+about 10%) eg size 4 = max around 220 planes (around means perhaps 223 but not 238!! )
-max. aircraft in sea hex = "around 450" (= 5 Essex carriers or the equivalent size 9 airfield). Can be adjusted to around 550 also if you like.
-Japanese are not allowed to do strategic bombing in China! Far too easy to destroy all the ressources, HI and OIL. Japanese may bomb everything else of Allied territory.
-Allied are not allowed to do strategic bombing of JAPANESE OCCUPIED ALLIED territory. This should prevent the Allied player to do suicide attacks e.g. with carriers to destroy some oil facilities (which I´ve seen enough) and for the reasons mentioned under above point. Allied may bomb everything in Japan, Korea, eastern China, Thailand = everything Japan held at 1941/12/7. If you want to starve Japan, take the bases or sink the ships!
-B29 aren´t allowed on naval attack
-B29 only on level 6 or 7+ airfields, this should limit them to places that were big enough in real life.
-4Es on nav attack min alt 15.000 ft
-ASW TF max 6 ships
-PT boats max 6 at a base (1x6 PT TF or 2x3 PT TF. Not 6 TFs with single PTs!)
-no sub invasions
-no mini para drops. As many para drops allowed as wished but they should involve at least 500-1000 men at min.
-cutting off units only with "real" combat units, not some 10 assault point base forces
-no use of dozens of small barge, MSW, ... TFs to guard ports (engine can´t handle dozens of small TFs in one hex)
-no exploit of dozens invasion TFs going at one base, means: if you need 300 ships for an invasion, put them into 5, 6 or 7 TFs but not in 60 TFs with 5 ships each.
-a maximum of 2-3 divisions at atols like iwo jima, midway, wake. Someone explain to me how you fit two to three dvisions on an atoll plus support troops????? This makes no sense to me but I will go with the flow so to speak.
