Hello folks,
Here is a AAR of the rematch between 'Imperial' Ramjet, and I the DivePac 'Alliance'. Now I have a busy life at present, so I will load the combat reports first, then fill out commentary when I have spare time. I have played Ramjet before in WitP, and we had started a game in AE before, which I had to pull out of. So this is a rematch of that game, which I intent to fight to the end.
Basic house rules agreed on (from E-mail), and as you can see we don't like many rules.
Here is my take for turn one;
# You can attack as many ports as you like, but only with carrier aircraft.
# You can launch as many invasions as you like.
# You can not go Carrier hunting on turn one.
# I can only move formed task forces.
# My suggestion on Sweep/Cap altitudes would be a starting limit of 25000feet for a sweep, and 26000feet for a Cap. But say, starting on 1-1-43 we would have to up the limits a few thousand feet a year, to reflect the new supercharged engines coming into service.
# Carrier-borne air... I use USN doctrine, and only operate one task group in a 40nm hex. I would like the limit to be 450 aircraft though please, as I like to operate a CV with 6-7 CVL sometimes.

Yep, all good thanks Wobbly. Hope life is good for you also, and that the Quake didn't effect you too badly.
Just had to concentrate on the real-life game play for a while. Now that part is running smoothly again, I have negotiated a few hours a day for AE. That gives me enough time for a PBEM, a AAR, and to annoy you guys on the threads again [:D].

December 9. Well as you can see from the reports he hit PH on 7th and 8th, and pulled away today. Yesterday Ramjet broke KB up into two forces for the second day strike, one of 2 carriers north west, and the other of 4 carriers west of PH. Something was strange with the strikes yesterday, because whereas the 4 carriers to the west launched 4 deck-loads at PH, the 2 carriers to the north only launched 1 deck-load. On top of that I get a report yesterday that one of my PBY's on morning search, puts a bomb onto a carrier to the northwest of PH. Now I thought that a PBY on search would only bomb a ship if there was no CAP? Then today I get a report that BB Kirishima as sunk as result of a collision, but I probably think that she is only damaged. So maybe Kirishima ran into one of the northern carriers the night before last.
Today he now has KB cut up into 3 divisions of 2 carriers, and very widely spaced with one division to the northwest of PH. Then the second division is west, and the third division is to the south west of PH. They all now appear to be heading west, so I guess he is carrier hunting (which the rules allow). I'm OK as my carriers are east of him now, but if Lady Lex had of had Wildcats I would have been tempted to have a go at the northern group. The good news is that I think I can save all the Battleships at PH, and I got the damaged cruisers away last night.
Some more good news overnight also as Boise managed track down his CVE in the Philippine Sea, and badly damaged and put the carrier on fire (fingers crossed). Boise was out there looking for transports so this was a plus. Now if I can make Boise disappear for a while, he will have to escort everything coming south from Japan to the South Pacific.

When you see the Southern Cross, For the first time
You understand now, Why you came this way
Let The Good-Times Roll, DivePac (A) v Ramjet (J), Allied AAR.
Hi all, time for some complimentary;
India
Starting with India, and at present there is no activity by ramjet in that area. My early strategy in India is to concentrate building up defenses in Ceylon and Bengal areas only. The reason for this is that I believe in an 'all or nothing' principle when it come to defense, and the Allies simply don't have enough ground units for the foreseeable future to realistically defend anymore.
My plan is to install 2 infantry divisions, naval strike, medium bomber, and fighter wings on Ceylon. Along with various AA, engineer, and aviation support. I also plan to install a similar force in the Bengal, but with an extra infantry division and armored elements. Bengal will also get the bulk of AA and airfield unit reinforcements to build up numerous airfields in this area. My plan with these forces, and whatever forces that can be salvaged in reasonable condition from Burma is to be installed in the Calcutta, Cox's Bazar, Ledo Triangle.
Burma
There is no sign of any ground movement toward Burma by Ramjets forces to date. But I have already evac'd the airfield unit by sea from Victoria Point. I am also withdrawing north all forces below Moulmein, and plan to withdraw from there to Pegu when Ramjet shows up.
I am moving the remainder of the 17th Indian infantry division to Rangoon, along with extra supplies. Fighter protection for the port of Rangoon will be provided by 2 AVG, and 1 RAF squadrons for as long as practical, to enable unloading of troops and supplies unhindered. I also intend to rotate medium bomber squadrons from Calcutta one at a time though Rangoon, to carryout a night-bombing campaign (mainly symbolic) against the airfield at Bangkok.
If he brings one division across to Burma, I will be able to hold him at Pegu. But when he starts building up 2-3 divisions I will start withdrawing north. 17th Indian division will go up the coast, and the Burma division will withdraw on Mandalay. If he becomes spread-out, or follows me with weak forces I will turn and strike. To me Burma is all about delay, time to develop my airpower in the Bengal so I can hammer him.
Malaya
Ramjet has landed at Signora and Patani in Thailand, along with Kota Bharu in Malaya. He has land maybe a full division at Signora, and possibly a battalion at Patani. I have also positivity identified that he landed a full division of infantry (18th division I think) at Kota Bharu. The Kota Bharu division is now advancing on Temuloh, walking along the narrow gage railway that run south from Kota Bharu. There is no sign of any movement from either Signora or Patani, he is maybe planning to hold advancing in the north till he can take Temuloh.
It will take Ramjet around 2 weeks to advance down the jungle railway from Kota Bharu to Temuloh. By the time he does that I will have safely withdrawn all my northern forces to the Kuala Lumpur area. Then I will again withdraw to the defense line that I am building on the axis of Mersing hex-50/82. On the Mersing defense line I will wait till he builds up, if he has 4 or more divisions I will withdraw on Singapore. Again it is all about delay, and the longer he is delayed in Malaya, the longer it takes him to get to his second phase operations.
I will attempt to lift in as many additional supplies into Singapore as I can, but with not prospect of holding air superiority over the port, I will run fast transport resupply convoys. No fighting units will be withdrawn from Singapore, but the RAF group HQ's along with some base forces will be evacuated either by air or fast transport.

India
Starting with India, and at present there is no activity by ramjet in that area. My early strategy in India is to concentrate building up defenses in Ceylon and Bengal areas only. The reason for this is that I believe in an 'all or nothing' principle when it come to defense, and the Allies simply don't have enough ground units for the foreseeable future to realistically defend anymore.
My plan is to install 2 infantry divisions, naval strike, medium bomber, and fighter wings on Ceylon. Along with various AA, engineer, and aviation support. I also plan to install a similar force in the Bengal, but with an extra infantry division and armored elements. Bengal will also get the bulk of AA and airfield unit reinforcements to build up numerous airfields in this area. My plan with these forces, and whatever forces that can be salvaged in reasonable condition from Burma is to be installed in the Calcutta, Cox's Bazar, Ledo Triangle.
Burma
There is no sign of any ground movement toward Burma by Ramjets forces to date. But I have already evac'd the airfield unit by sea from Victoria Point. I am also withdrawing north all forces below Moulmein, and plan to withdraw from there to Pegu when Ramjet shows up.
I am moving the remainder of the 17th Indian infantry division to Rangoon, along with extra supplies. Fighter protection for the port of Rangoon will be provided by 2 AVG, and 1 RAF squadrons for as long as practical, to enable unloading of troops and supplies unhindered. I also intend to rotate medium bomber squadrons from Calcutta one at a time though Rangoon, to carryout a night-bombing campaign (mainly symbolic) against the airfield at Bangkok.
If he brings one division across to Burma, I will be able to hold him at Pegu. But when he starts building up 2-3 divisions I will start withdrawing north. 17th Indian division will go up the coast, and the Burma division will withdraw on Mandalay. If he becomes spread-out, or follows me with weak forces I will turn and strike. To me Burma is all about delay, time to develop my airpower in the Bengal so I can hammer him.
Malaya
Ramjet has landed at Signora and Patani in Thailand, along with Kota Bharu in Malaya. He has land maybe a full division at Signora, and possibly a battalion at Patani. I have also positivity identified that he landed a full division of infantry (18th division I think) at Kota Bharu. The Kota Bharu division is now advancing on Temuloh, walking along the narrow gage railway that run south from Kota Bharu. There is no sign of any movement from either Signora or Patani, he is maybe planning to hold advancing in the north till he can take Temuloh.
It will take Ramjet around 2 weeks to advance down the jungle railway from Kota Bharu to Temuloh. By the time he does that I will have safely withdrawn all my northern forces to the Kuala Lumpur area. Then I will again withdraw to the defense line that I am building on the axis of Mersing hex-50/82. On the Mersing defense line I will wait till he builds up, if he has 4 or more divisions I will withdraw on Singapore. Again it is all about delay, and the longer he is delayed in Malaya, the longer it takes him to get to his second phase operations.
I will attempt to lift in as many additional supplies into Singapore as I can, but with not prospect of holding air superiority over the port, I will run fast transport resupply convoys. No fighting units will be withdrawn from Singapore, but the RAF group HQ's along with some base forces will be evacuated either by air or fast transport.

RE: Let The Good-Times Roll, DivePac (A) v Ramjet (J), Allied AAR.
Just reading your AAR.
Maybe its time at Luzon to nigttime Catalinas attack? Task Forces unloading over the beach are easly to detect by ground forces/bases and there is no CAP during torpedo attack.
Have you still some figters over Luzon? I dont see your CAP there

RE: Let The Good-Times Roll, DivePac (A) v Ramjet (J), Allied AAR.
Hi Sly,
Was going to get to a complimentary on the Philippines soon. But basically my tactics are that PBY's are for naval search only. I know you are correct, and the PBY's can do real damage to un-CAP'd landing convoys. But my tactical doctrine for the use of PBY's is search only, and with their limited numbers I cannot afford to lose any.
Ramjet is sweeping the main Luzon airfields at present, and I will lose my fighter strength if stand up to that tactic. So all my fighters are dispersed in sub-units all over the Philippines area, and I will concentrate them in Luzon for ambushes when he thinks he has air-superiority. My heavy bombers are now concentration on Cagayan, and will be use for ground attack on his beachheads when he lands on Luzon.

Let The Good-Times Roll, DivePac (A) v Ramjet (J), Allied AAR.
Quiet day really...
He is lunching small invasions on northern Borneo, and his covering cruisers get in among some of the shipping escaping from Hong Kong. At Hong Kong; Ramjet's assaults have knocked the forts down to zero, so the city will fall in the next few days.
He hammered Bataan AF again with naval air from Formosa, but not a problem at pulled the PBY's two days ago. He took Aparri, Vigan, and Legaspi on Luzon today, so I will start firming-up on Clark Field. Guam also fell today, and a task force in heading north to ward Wake.
In CENPAC he still has his 3 carrier divisions spread-out, and carrier hunting I suspect. I have eyeball on two; one is just north of Palmyra, while the other is passing south of Johnston Island. I suspect that the northern one is closing in on Wake, and the 12 Wildcats are still there, so hopefully they knock-down some more of KB's airgroup.

He is lunching small invasions on northern Borneo, and his covering cruisers get in among some of the shipping escaping from Hong Kong. At Hong Kong; Ramjet's assaults have knocked the forts down to zero, so the city will fall in the next few days.
He hammered Bataan AF again with naval air from Formosa, but not a problem at pulled the PBY's two days ago. He took Aparri, Vigan, and Legaspi on Luzon today, so I will start firming-up on Clark Field. Guam also fell today, and a task force in heading north to ward Wake.
In CENPAC he still has his 3 carrier divisions spread-out, and carrier hunting I suspect. I have eyeball on two; one is just north of Palmyra, while the other is passing south of Johnston Island. I suspect that the northern one is closing in on Wake, and the 12 Wildcats are still there, so hopefully they knock-down some more of KB's airgroup.

RE: Let The Good-Times Roll, DivePac (A) v Ramjet (J), Allied AAR.
Situation in CENPAC southwest of Pearl Harbor, carrier hunting maybe.
Or they could be returning to Kwajalein

Basic house rules agreed on (from E-mail), and as you can see we don't like many rules.
Here is my take for turn one;
# You can attack as many ports as you like, but only with carrier aircraft.# You can launch as many invasions as you like.
# You can not go Carrier hunting on turn one.
# I can only move formed task forces.
# My suggestion on Sweep/Cap altitudes would be a starting limit of 25000feet for a sweep, and 26000feet for a Cap. But say, starting on 1-1-43 we would have to up the limits a few thousand feet a year, to reflect the new supercharged engines coming into service.
# Carrier-borne air... I use USN doctrine, and only operate one task group in a 40nm hex. I would like the limit to be 450 aircraft though please, as I like to operate a CV with 6-7 CVL sometimes.
DivePac, great to see you in action again!
I was wondering about your logic for limiting the Japanese on Turn 1 port attacks to carrier aircraft only?
I generally play Allies and allow port attacks by LBA. There appears no reason the Japanese could not have struck the forward ports if they chose to do so instead of the forward airfields. The Allies on the other hand significantly underestimated the range, performance and skill of the Japanese pilots.
I usually negotiate setting the CAP over Manila at 30% consistent with the starting CAP% for the Brits at Singers. Seems to work out pretty fairly if the Japanese player wants to hit the Asiatic Fleet instead of MacArthur's airforce. The ships at Hong Kong are doomed...

Hi Simon, yes he could be heading for Kwajalein, but I'm starting to wonder if he might be going after Canton or Palmyra given todays air-search.

Hi Mate,
I think my ordinal thinking about the one port-attack is that I want to factor in the Japanese thinking and planning at the start. It has been my option that the Japanese wanted air-Superiority over both Malaya and the Philippines for their up coming landings. But I do concede that given the Japanese concern about, and later attacks on Allied shipping in both areas, that more port attacks might be in order. I just hate the though of losing all that beautiful shipping and submarines in Singapore and Manila. [:(]
