RE: Blood bath at Matsuyama
Taichu finally fell but now I am short of supplies in Formosa so things may go slow for a while.
Massive #s of fighters have moved into range on the west coast of Kyushu. Despite the bad weather and low supplies I have ordered massive air strikes against the consentrations. I took out 300 AC today, mostly on the ground

Naval disaster at Amani
Gordon committed his surface fleet to a raid on Amani. My surface fleets, esecially my BBs, performed horribly. In the end I lost 3 BBs, 1 CL, and 37 DDs and only sank 2 BBs and 10 DDs in return. Even my naval air arm couldn't do anything right.
The Jap fleet has been spotted at Kagoshima, 3 hexes away, leaving me with a dilema. If I stay they will no doubt return for another round. If I leave I would have to move all the AC off Amani in case of a bombardment and I would abandon several heavily damged ships in port to their doom.
I have decided to fight and hope to make Gordon pay. I have moved in B-25s with very high exp and set them to naval attack at 100 feet. I have more surface elements that will arive in the AM phase but the night battle will be brutal.

The Jap fleet has been spotted at Kagoshima, 3 hexes away, leaving me with a dilema. If I stay they will no doubt return for another round. If I leave I would have to move all the AC off Amani in case of a bombardment and I would abandon several heavily damged ships in port to their doom.
I have decided to fight and hope to make Gordon pay. I have moved in B-25s with very high exp and set them to naval attack at 100 feet. I have more surface elements that will arive in the AM phase but the night battle will be brutal.

RE: Naval disaster at Amani
I screwed up and order my B-25s to attack a target 5 hexes away and set my fighter escort to 4 hexes. It cost me 120 B-25s. I acn't afford too many more screw ups like this.

RE: Naval disaster at Amani
Quiet turn due to bad weather.
An examinitaion of Gordon's industry showed that he is low on engines. I will have to target these soon
Big attack at Taipai next turn. I really can't do much until that base is captured and operational. Supplies have started to arrive so I can go on the offensive again soon. A plan is starting to form.....

RE: Naval disaster at Amani
Weather continues to hamper my plans. I am making some bold moves next turn inspite of the rain. If the strikes all fly Gordon is going to have a very bad day.[;)]
I finally took Taipai so things are progressing. I am taking a turn off to allow supplies to catch up to the troops before mopping up the survivors.

RE: Naval disaster at Amani

Stressed at work but what else is new. New job is challenging but i don't adjust to change well.
Neither do I.
Good luck.
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.

Ambush at Matsuyama
Turn after turn Gordon has been using Matsuyama as a milk run to train his pilots. Fighters flew attack missions with no escort. I finally put an end to that.
I placed P-38s and P-51s from Amani on LRCAP and slaughtered the strikes. Between this and the leveling of the undefended Tsingao I destroyed close to 2200 AC for the loss of just over 200. Hopefully this will turn the tide at Matsuyama and allow me to save the beachhead.
Massive strike is going against the home base of the Jap airforce at Hiroshima next turn.

I placed P-38s and P-51s from Amani on LRCAP and slaughtered the strikes. Between this and the leveling of the undefended Tsingao I destroyed close to 2200 AC for the loss of just over 200. Hopefully this will turn the tide at Matsuyama and allow me to save the beachhead.
Massive strike is going against the home base of the Jap airforce at Hiroshima next turn.

is it still fun to play if one side loses 2000+ aircraft on one day? [&:] With the more than huge raids I notice all the time, may I ask if you have any hrs on aircraft stacking limits? It doesn´t look so to be honest and it once again convinces me that this is the numero uno hr every PBEM should have.
RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
I was particularly interested to see the combat in which 181 Allied planes shot down over 620 Japanese fighters + a few hundred more bombers ).
Even if looked at purely on the basis of the number of minutes it takes to shoot down a single fighter you end up with a situation where 3.5 fighters each have to be shot down by Allied fighters before they can get stuck into the Japanese bombers. On a pure time basis this would take so long as to allow the bombers to get into position to strike before the Allied fighters could intercept them.
So, it isn't just down to stacking. After all, 181 Allied fighters at a base isn't utterly unrealistic. No, it is down to the combat model not taking such issues ( or running out of ammo ) into account.

Well, that's that settled then.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
Another bloody day. Had my CVs stuck to their orders and restricted their air strikes to 2 hexes it would have gone much better. Wildcats are still easy kills for Franks and Georges.
Fast transports brought enough supplies into Matsuyama to stave off the first attack. Massive amounts of troops and supplies will arrive next turn. Looks like the cavalry will ride to the rescue just in time to save the day.

RE: Ambush at Matsuyama
I'm amazed that he still has aircraft to feed into the meat-grinder you've created. By my count, he's lost almost 5000 aircraft over the past week, not to mention pilots. You just murdered his minesweepers & his remaining surface assets have got to be just about under your guns as well - what is your best guess for what he has left?
