RHS 105 Test 9C Control Test Second Day: Unintended Sea Battles!
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:25 am
This is a test of the same Axis start moves as in other Test 9 series
except the Allied moves are almost entirely computer controlled. A minimal
amount of hand correction was done - for example to insure production and
repair of future aircraft types is set to OFF.
The Axis team - the same one as in Test 8A - has come up with a creative
variation on the standard start turn. For example, they used a different
approach vector to Hawaii (within the limits permitted by code - if you get
too radical the ships won't make it to their launch point). This had interesting
results - and in fact the Kiddo Butai - which here is split into two forces - half
did NOT make it to its planned launch point vs Oahu. Instead it engaged in a
completely ineffective surface battle with Enterprise group, and then returned to
base (apparently retire was set) - but on the way back was able to salvage the
situation when air searches revealed the same target group within strike range.
Similarly, they elected not to hit Clark with all their bombers - as most players do -
and split their force (which was also done historically) with more than one target.
They did a standard landing at Singora, but not at Kota Bahru, and effectively covered
their invasion groups with land based fighters all along the coast of Thailand. They
hit some of the traditional small initial island targets, but elected to change others.
A fairly interesting start turn.

USMC Legation Gar Wiped Out at Peiping [NE China] by attrition!!!
except the Allied moves are almost entirely computer controlled. A minimal
amount of hand correction was done - for example to insure production and
repair of future aircraft types is set to OFF.
The Axis team - the same one as in Test 8A - has come up with a creative
variation on the standard start turn. For example, they used a different
approach vector to Hawaii (within the limits permitted by code - if you get
too radical the ships won't make it to their launch point). This had interesting
results - and in fact the Kiddo Butai - which here is split into two forces - half
did NOT make it to its planned launch point vs Oahu. Instead it engaged in a
completely ineffective surface battle with Enterprise group, and then returned to
base (apparently retire was set) - but on the way back was able to salvage the
situation when air searches revealed the same target group within strike range.
Similarly, they elected not to hit Clark with all their bombers - as most players do -
and split their force (which was also done historically) with more than one target.
They did a standard landing at Singora, but not at Kota Bahru, and effectively covered
their invasion groups with land based fighters all along the coast of Thailand. They
hit some of the traditional small initial island targets, but elected to change others.
A fairly interesting start turn.
