This is another scenario 15 for all the marbles campaign,I just want to finnish ONE!!!! We are playing under 1.795beta,jap sub doctrine on,allied damage control on.advanced weather,variable reinforcements,no Sears tower ASW stacks roaming the waters.No b24's operating out of CBI before 43'<hopefully he won't upgrade the damn things thatway,but he'll probably be using them outa java with my luck.LOL>Both of us are going to be reasonable about matters,invasions having aircover,no subs dropping squads to grab bases etc....
here we go:
Plans for dec 7th:
Production:
Aircraft Engines.I changed Nissan and issakawjimawhater to nakajima engine production. My motto when in doubt buy nakajima!
I halted all hitachi engine production turn 1. We are using player designated upgrades and i'm changing Ida to Dinah recon aircraft. The Ida's then go back to my force pool and can be used to fillout new units which i'll convert also. same with Hickory transports.I change them to Tabby's.
******Potential issue with 1.795beta,no art for my tabby aircraft! Nuts!!!!!!*******************
I did a number of production changes with more to come in the future. Taking it somewhat slowly for now.
1) I halted all R&D factories except...Tony,Tojo,Zero A6M3...other types will be turned back on closer to arrival dates. I'm going to monitor my supply levels and see what benefit I derive from this.
2) I bumped up Armament production in 3 centers,will do more in future. Again closely looking at my production.
3) Converted a small 2 mechant shipyard to naval shipyard. bumpedup 3 other naval shipyards slightly.
4) bumpedup a vehicle production center slightly.
5) Halted Shinano<180> and 5 I-boat<33>point units....Halted I-boat<26>point unit.
FORGOT TO CONVERT 10 AK's to AR SHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!
Longterm naval plan........Accelerate Tiaho and 3 Unryu's so they arrive late spring 43' for a new improved KB surprise! Also accelerate alot of my DD's so i get their use faster!
naval Air........Zero's,Betty's high experience lvl pilots. Ahh,the type of Zero,there is the rub.
Army aviation.........to be flying Tojo's and tony's till the later models arrive.
