Roosters vs Robins -- 2x2 -- Japanese only

[Mynok]

And so it begins.......

This a 2x2 game using 2 day turns. The 'Rooster' side is ChickenBoy and me. He's a poultry vet and I'm a Gamecock football fan, thus the chicken allusion.

The Robin side is USS America and AW1Steve, both somewhat fans of the Sir Robin defense.

House rules are pretty minimal. It is possible another will be added based on our observations of the effects of bombardment on supply of the defender.

Two day turns are new for all players I believe. That will be interesting to say the least.

This is the Japanese side AAR thread.

[anarchyintheuk]

It's actually started. Looking forward to it. Crush the imperialist aggressors, etc., etc.

[Cribtop]

Mynok, my homeland is Texas, but the homeland of my ancestors is South Carolina. Go Gamecocks and Go Robins! Should be fun to watch.

House rules are pretty minimal.

Will Space Modulators be in evidence, then?

For those of you that waited, thanks. Here's the combat replay. I'll wait for tomorrow for additional commentary from Mynok and I:

Mind giving us a rundown of who is controlling what again, please? [&o]

I'll have to run that by Mynok. We're restricting that information for OPSEC for the time being.

Haven't decided yet, have you? [:D]

First interesting thing I noticed:

27 x B5N2 Kate bombing from 9000 feet
Port Attack: 1 x 800 kg AP Bomb

I'm not sure how armament is determined in AE now. Anyone know?

I thought it was pretty much the same as WITP - including the calculations about the chances of using bigger bombs.

[Mynok]

Hmmm...well, I obviously got a lot of 800kg bombs. Just not a lot of hits. [8|]

Sub attack near Lahaina at 185,107

Japanese Ships
SS I-19

Allied Ships
AVD McFarland, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage



SS I-19 launches 6 torpedoes
Sub escapes detection

[:D][:D]

Sinking the fleeing hordes.......

[Mynok]

I ran tests against the AI with the exact same KB setup and got two really destructive attacks....with a lot more torpedo attacks.

It sounds like some kind of multi-dimensional butterfly effect. Perhaps if you had breakfasted differently that October morning when you were six (Martian) years old...

At the slightest scent of the water board, Mynok begins to blab and violates OPSEC by using the singular first person pronoun.

KB.....Admiral Mynok-san

Very light air losses for the KB...but damage to Allied aircraft on the ground not that great either.

[Mynok]

[:D] Well, you at least know who set up KB for that op.

The light air losses were one of the goals. There are more valuable things needing sunk down the road than junk aircraft.

The primary reason for keeping our division of command low profile is because we have played our opponents before in both Witp and AE. If they knew who was running what, they would have experiential knowledge of what to expect.

This is certainly true and there is the classical maxim of attacking in the seam of enemy commands which is absolutely true in 2v2.
