fdeutsch (Japan) versus skrewball (Allies) : Alternative strategy with historical means

Post by fdeutsch »

I'm back again but this time I'm the Japanese and I bring a bigger house rule list [:'(]
The philosophy remains : alternative strategy with historical means.
I'm interseted in seeing if the so terribly weak Japanese can win in V1.6. As in my other AAR, I'll publish commented combat report.

The option choosen are
Reinforcement (japanese & allies ) +/- 60 days
Turn cycle 1
Japanese Sub Doctrine OFF
Allied Sub Doctrine OFF
Fog of War ON
Historical First Turn OFF
Advanced Weather effect ON
December 7th surprise ON
Allied Damage Control ON
Player Define Upgrade ON
Automatic Submarine Option OFF

Turn1 rules :
1. Allies can only give orders to ships that are not in port on turn one
2. Allies cannot give orders to any ground or air units except for China Command units on turn one. Allies can give any construction or HQ change orders
he desires to any of his bases on turn one.
3. Japanese can only make turn one landings at allied bases that are within 15 hexes of a Japanese base
Exception: the Japanese may always invade Wake on turn one.
4. Japanese are limited to one port attack on turn one. This attack may be at any port that can be reached by Japanese aircraft.
5. Japanese carriers must end movement within 5 hexes of an allied or Japanese base hex on turn one
6. The Japanese may not sail past Singapore to the north on turn 1 (no landing at Johore to cut Singapore off from the rest of Malaya on turn 1)

Time Limited rules :
7. No Allied skip bombing (100 ft. altitude naval attacks with level bombers) until 1/1/1943
8. No air missions except for transfer to base/ship can be flown off of carriers by carrier-capable air
units until 1/1/1944. Carrier-trained units may fly any missions that are available to them.
9. No Attack of Russia or West Coast before 1/1/1944

Bug related rules :
10. For Isolated that can't retreat to base. After 2 successful deliberate attack, the unit cannot be move or evacuate until it is fully supplied again.
11. If big ressource point is taken with heavy destruction after the first successful delibarate attack by a Brigrade or Division, another ressource point is evacuated. The big ressources point are
Brunei
Tarakan
Balikpapan
Kendari
Kuala Lumpur
Palemberg
Batavia
Soerabaja
.12 As the weather is supposed to be clear in the whole map, any major airstrike cancelled at turn 1 will trigger a redo turn.


Rules :
13. No night bombing attacks allowed
14. No invasions or recon raids using submarine
transport missions. Sub transport is for supplies and evacuation.
15. CV airgroups may not leave their ship except to base on the airfield that the CV is docked at if the CV is crippled by damage. Airgroups may be recovered and based anywhere if their home carrier is sunk.
16. No 4-engine bomber missions (against either land or naval targets) below 5000 feet
17. Japanese "light" sentais cannot be upgraded to Sallys, Helens or Peggys. Light Sentais must remain
dive bombers, Lilys or fighter-bombers.
18. Allied bomber units may upgrade to any 4 engine bomber, if those units either are or divide into 12 aircraft groups. The 16 aircraft allied bomber groups may only upgrade to a 2 engine bomber at the most.
19. PT boat cannot be mixed with other ships
20. Fast TF can only target bases in LBA range or CV range


A damaged ship is only a missed opportunity
