TURNING POINT: Japanese Version - Tanaka smashes US Ships @Attu

Post by Coach Z »

Since my honorable opponent has decided to start an AAR I've decided to post one as well. Probably better b/c now we wont have to talk to each other as much after every turn and give away little pieces of intel which we always seem to do![X(]
But heck what are friends for!
Oh who'm I kidding will still talk if for no other reason then to try to goad each other into stupid decisions!
Since we've decided to stay out of each others AARs I'll try to explain my strategic thought and vision. This way you can better critique me![:D]

We've been screwing around with the Coral Sea scenario for a LONG time even played Feinders Midway Scenario (I think its yours?) and then moved up to the Guadalcanal scenario, this is our 1st time with the Big Boy Map! While it makes life a whole lot more complicated I have to tell you I'm loving it. I'm playing as Japan but w/o the WitP decoder. I may try it soon, but wanted to see how I handle things w/o it ...yeah I'm a glutton for punnishment. (Also I'm a computer half-literate so I'm hoping its easy to download and use).

Ok I'll put my intial strateguc thoughts in my next post!

Hi,
good luck !
I use WITPDecoder, wouldn't go to war without it (not for it's strategic use, but for its production info) ... also have a DB which feeds off the CSV files for more info ... but then I have time to burn some days ... if you're playing a limited scenario, then maybe you don't need it, but if its the whole war ... go get it and use it.
If you're interested check out my AAR ...

Pre-Game Strategy

Post by Coach Z »

I divided my thoughts in to different areas of Concentration.
 
CHINA
To maintain the status-quo in most areas and attempt to capture and/or involve most the Chinese forces in combats around HONAN & CHANGSHA. Also I was hoping to use superior numbers of OSCARS and bombers to limit the effectiveness of the AVG.
 
INDIA/BURMA
While at first I was tempted to focus my attention here and launch a major amphibious assault into India, I decided to slow my roll here. If I can restrict the use of his forward air bases I should be able to return to the India front and re-visit the idea of using the Imperial Guards Division in Medan to invade India.
 
PORT MORESBY
Since this was where the Japanese were actually planning to invade in May of 1942, I decided to make this my focal point. I earmarked 2 Mixed Brigades, 1 SNLF, & 1 HQ from RABAUL as well as an Infantry Division in Java, as my invasion force. To assist with this invasion I intended to Para-drop onto THURSDAY ISLAND on the 1st turn. I was hoping to use Thursday Island as an Air Base to provide fighter cover for my invasion forces. I also wanted to deny him a forward air base from which he could LRCAP Pt. Moresby and quickly refit his fighter squadrons at. Additionally I thought it might distract him and trigger a counter invasion, which would keep troops and supplies from going to Pt. Moresby.
To support my operations I transfered a significant elements of my Naval Air Forces to this sector. By May 2nd I would have 108 Betty's, 36 Nells, and 50+ A6M2 Zeros were based at RABAUL; two Sentais of A6M2 Zeros were also based at LAE.
 
ok thats a start more tomorrow

SOUTH PACIFIC
My main idea was to wait in the South Pacific until I had captured Port Moresby, Gili Gili, Lunga and probably Luganville and then expand into that area. But Id ecided to use Paratroopers to take WALLIS ISLAND from him. It has a good size air base, and looked like a good place to base a Sentai of Betty/Nell Bombers, along with some fighter support (convert some CLAUDES to A6M2's and either hop'em there or use a CVE to "bounce'em" there). Sending a small TF to load the BF from MAKIN and bring it there Full Speed and another small TF with some supply from Kwaj.
I felt I could use WALLIS to attrition any Carrier force that might come to assist the fighting in the South Pacific.

CENTRAL PACIFIC
The idea was to make him think I was planning to invade MIDWAY. The AKAGI, KAGA, & RYUJO would raid the island for a couple of turns then head south to support my activites there. The 14" BB (YAMASHIRO, FUSO, HYUGA, & ISE would pass close to Midway then turn North and head for the Aleutians) Additionally I started the game with 2 SNLFs (90 AV each), an Inf Bge in Palau, and several NLF units planning for MIDWAY. Figuring if he got SIGINT on one of them it might be a little mis-direction and then also if I ever do want to go after MIDWAY.....well that Brigade @ Palau....
I also increased my Air Strength at KWAJALEIN to over 60 BETTY/NELLS to give me a considerable sting if he ventured to far from home. Additionally I begain expanding the air base @ WAKE and sent additional troops there.

OK it seems I only left over two areas of concern:
 
NORTH AREA/The Aleutians
I intend to invade ATTU & then KISKA basically with a couple of APDs worth of troops, protected by the SORYU & HIRYU. Then load up the 7th Infantry Division and attempt to take DUTCH HARBOR. I'm going to load a Base Force at Tokyo and bring that to Attu asap so I can get some aircraft MAVIS' for recon in  addition to the typical sentai of BETTY?NELL bombers and a sentai of A6M2's. I also intend to take ADAK ISLAND and transfer a Sentai of OSACARS trhere during the battle for DUTCH HARBOR. I will be sending several Glen carrying subs in the area between Pearl and Dutch Harbor to act as a trip wire ...an early alert system for my 2nd Carrier Diviision. If I detect his carriers (Enterprise, Hornet, Saratoga) I plan on withdrawing back towards ATTU under my Air Umbrela and draw them in to BETTY/NELL torpedo range! Also I can always reinforce the Northern Fleet with the JUNYO or the CVEs in Tokyo.
 
AUSTRALIA
As Port Moresby is being secured, assets will be put in to place for an invasion of Northern Australia. I plan on bringing sveral on the Tank Regiments that begin the game near China as well as the 2 Divisions and 1 brigade from the Phillipines in to this operation. Paratroppers will be used in conjunction with amphiubious assaults. I plan to jump both in to bases and behind them to cut off their supply lines to the rest of Australia. I feel I can do this with out risking major naval units. Depending on situations I might earmark either the JUNYO to cover these invasions or a mini-KB of the SHOHO, ZUIHO, & RYUJO; supported by several cruisers. SInce the NAGATO & MUTSU will be in the area supporting the Port Moresby Operations, they maybe available for bombardment missions as well.

For the most part the 1st 2 days went well except for one major bonehead move and a stupid a$$ mistake! I had intended to switch the forces involved in the Tulagi & Lunga invasions, since the Lunga invasion was more likely to be opposed I wanted to land there with the stronger force...but I forgot!

======================================================
TURN NOTES:
US LRCAP From MERAKUE Denies Air Transported Re-supply & Reinforcement to THURSDAY ISLAND. Even though we have based a Sentai of OSCARS there!! But at least some of the Aviation Support did get through. Damn me for forgetting about the AVG (P-40B’s have an extended range of 7) and losing all those SALLYs. Hopefully I've restricted the use of Kohima as a forward air base for any early foray he might have been thinking of in to Burma.

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES:[/font]
[font="times new roman"]My Planes in the Rabual-Solomons sector were unable to spot Floyd’s Fast Transport of troops into Gili Gili as well as those in Lunga. Great job by him, but I can’t believe how unlucky I’ve been with those planes there. Still only around half my Betty & Nell Bombers are participating in any operations on any one day-very frustrating. I have enough support and a large enough air base so I am perplexed. [/font]
[font="times new roman"]The Merauke/Thursday Island situation continues to be a thorn in my side. It seems until I reduce his base there will no way I can affect his LRCAP. Troops moving to reinforce invasions @ Gili Gili and Lunga (Guadalcanal). Moving a large Naval Guard Unit group (70 AV) to Lunga and sending another SNLF there in addition to ordering 4 Heavy Cruisers to bombard. Hoping force @ Gili Gili can hold out for a day or two and then a SNLF from Rabaul will reinforce them. Using Floyd’s trick LRCAP to prevent FMG from reinforcing or re-supplying his troops at those locations. Disappointed I was unable to catch his carriers but my Air Combat TF would not go where I wanted it....I guess they didnt want to be caught at night in a coastal hex...so they refused to chase his carriers at full pseed and give me a chance! He was just SE of unga and I was Just NW of Lunga 6 hexes from him! As Knavey says "THE GAME'S BROKEN" [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Darn I must be obsesing already![/font]

=================================================
TURN NOTES: A very disappointing turn results wise. Once again I was unable to spot an Allied Naval TF well within torpedo range of my "peoples' in Rabaul.  Most of those Sentais, Datais, & Chutais are on 10% Naval Search, but I have over 20 MAVISes & EMILYs in Rabaul & Kavieng plus another 7/8 EMILYs at SHORTLANDS all on Naval Search! This is becoming a very annoying consistent occurance. So Floyd got to bombard Thursday Island and get away with it somewhat...perhaps will hit that TF tomorrow.
 My Naval Bombardment @ Lunga occurred after the SNLF force landed for some unknown reason-the CAs were faster & closer to Lunga? All in all, none of my combat results were very good. Guess I’ll chalk up the turn to bad luck. FMG didn’t try to reinforce either Gili Gili or Lunga so we’ll see what happens this turn. He was surprised by the # of G4M1 Betty’s @ Rabaul and confused by the bombardment of Darwin.

TURN NOTES: Another disappointing turn results wise except for the air raid @ Darwin. I forgot to cancel the raid on Imphal and it cost me several planes. My 22 OSCARS did not make a dent in his 17 Hurricane IIs!!
Once more my planes @ Rabaul refuse to strike any Allied TF-even if it is spotted. His Cruiser force which again bombarded Thursday Island was spotted early in the turn right next to it and-no strikes! Thursday Island is running very low on supply-under 100 now.
A US TF with a RCT was unspotted last turn by the SORYU & HIRYU @ Attu and began to unload. (I was sitting 2 hexes west of Attu w/20% Vals searching plus several Float planes!) They unloaded enough force to destroy my APD launch invasion force. Since I only had a few squads of SNLF w/several support squads & guns I’m guessing that the SNLF squads were the ones lost[disrupted] on landing and everyone else was destroyed w/o a formal combat. Well that was probably a stupid and rash move and I paid for. I though that with the MAVIS' @Paramushio, my Subs,  and  my carrier planes I'd find his ships trying to transport troopos into Attu.
While I have been flying a bit by the seat of my pants, I can not believe the lousy luck I am having in failing to spot his TF’s as well as in my planes @ Rabaul just not striking when they haven’t taken large loses or been over used! 
He did a great job getting reinforcements into both Lunga & Gili Gili, but that's just going to force me to improvise...which isn't a big problem....except up in the Aleutians!

MAY 7th
 
Well the best laid plans of mice and men! I screwed loading the baseforce @ MAKIN and then left it for a day without moving it! I'm going to need to be more carfeful, but with all these TFs moving around its easy to get confused.

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES: Well the US Subs made their presence known today, and even in shallow water I was unable to do much against them. A transport TF knew where a sub was and still lost an AK to it (Off Kyushu). [/font]
[font="times new roman"]A little confused about his attack @ Lunga. The 5th SNLF should have had an AV of 40+. The guys already there had an AV of 15 and the guys unloading were at 27! But I guess I lost a bunch of guys unloading (141) and lost a lot of effectiveness to disruption + maybe the sub attack added to the disruption (only claimed to have killed 30 men). Anyway I thought I could keep my toe hold for another turn till the other SNLF arrived. Now I think I’ll have to use the AP’s involved in the invasion to ferry the KURE 5th SNLF back to Lunga after the other SNLF lands. Lost alot of men attacking ICHANG, w/o any gain. Maybe the results will improve next deliberate attack.[/font]
[font="times new roman"]My “trap” for the AVG would have been perfect if weather had canceled all flight operations in Burma! He had only 9/10 P-40B’s available for CAP. I’ll try gain this turn, but I’m afraid he went send as large a force to Hanoi since he is getting such lousy results.[/font]

TUNRN NOTES:
Looks like a Good Turn after a few bad ones! Got decent results against his subs; even the one Sub torpedo hit was a scratch (2% sys to AP).  Although bad weather foiled my planes to raid Midway I’m hoping my 2 day presence in the area has drawn enough attention to the Central Pacific!
My air attacks against Pt. Moresby both worked well (even though the Rabaul strike came in unescorted-yesh). Probably should transfer another squadron of Army Bombers to New Guinea soon. They are much more effective against the air field then the BETTYs and NELLs. All though logical they should be, they carry twice the bombload.
The 1st wave of troops hit Gili Gili uninterrupted by Allied Air and will attack tomorrow. The SNLF will be joined by a large Naval Guard Unit (70 AV). This plus the supplies and aerial-bombardments should be enough. (Also assigned 2 CL to bombard – The Furutaka Group Cruiser TF is standing by as well).
My raid/ “trap” vs. the AVG also finally worked after being grounded for 2 days by bad weather. He sent the majority of his planes against Lashio, where all OSCARS were grounded due to the weather (but he could fly there?). Anyway my Zeros and Nells from Rangoon hit Kunming hard, even though 17 turned and fled during the air-to-air combat which I dominated (But the SALLY’s from Mandalay and OSCARs from Lashio were still grounded).
Still wondering how to handle the 2nd Carrier Division....may have to return to base. I really dont want to have to abort the DUTCH HARBOR Operation, but the longer it takes to gain control of Attu, the greater the risk of a counter strike I run. I hope he thinks I'm going after MIDWAY!

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES: Dont know why my OSCARS didnt escort my SALLYs to Kunming, so once more the AVG shots down a bunch of SALLYS {DRAT!} My bombers did a GOOD job on DARWIN, so I'm pleased there, but still no attacks on his spotted TFs from RABAUL...OK I rested a third of the sentais (squadrons) but some of the rest can strike! I think I'm gonna take Gili Gili tomorrow![/font]

We had spotted both his carrier task force which attacked my troops unloading at Lunga and his task forces headed to Thursday Island. I dangled the ZUIHO out as bait, after her attack @ Ndini, and then ran her back to Shortlands towards the SHOKAKU, ZUIKAKU, & SHOHO. Reports say he's chasing, but my carriers didnt react.[/font]

TURN NOTES:
BANZAI!!!
We got a couple of good torpedo hits on the Lexington! My carriers were under a squall! They were 5 hexes away! It would have been perfect! I could have hit him w/o a chance of a counter attack. But once more he bashes a bunch of my light forces and possibly destroys the chance of me taking Lunga.Not sure why the 5th Carrier Division didnt react, I guess they were out of movement points. Rats!!!

MAY 13th
 
Interesting, Floyd's been sending BLENHEIMS from India to raid Akyab, but so ar they haven't hit a thing! There were many ASW attacks vs. Allied subs with no hits that I edited out....only the more siginificant combat reports. PLUS  I swept some minefields at Saipan & Kwajalein.
Some B-17C's raided Gili Gili (@9000ft) but they had no effect.

TURN NOTES: Unfortunately the Lexington and Yorktown limped away and I was only able to catch a Heavy Cruiser. The SHOKAKU, ZUIKAKU will continue to pursue south. The CVLs (SHOHO & ZUIHO) will move east in case he ran in that direction and possibly driving him into Nagumo's 1st Carrier Division which has been steaming south from the Central Pacific. Still disappointed in the air attacks versus the Allied TFs @ Thursday Island.

[font="times new roman"]That damn MAVIS unit @ Naru Island had its Search Value at zero. I was sure I had raised up to 100.  That probably allowed the YORKTOWN and the damaged LEXINGTON to slip away unnoticed. Therefore w/o knowing where he is, I will have to pause and refuel the KAGA . It looked like a good plan the SHOKAKU & ZUIKAKU would chase them down, or the SHOHO & ZUIHO were driving the American Carriers right to where the AKAGI, KAGA, & RYUJO where going to be. Ah the best laid plans of mice & men.[/font]
Lunga is proving a TOUGH NUT to crack! He has reinforced there again! That must be way his carriers were up threre!

TURN NOTES: Was happy to see that the AVG was forced to abandon Kunming after all my attacks and bombing raids. As I said I was very disappointed with my Naval Bombardments of both Dutch Harbor and Port Moresby, but very happy with the results of my aerial bombardments of Port Moresby. I am refueling Nagumo's carriersjust north of Tulagi, within striking distance in case he reinforces Lunga (again). The 3rd & 5th Carrier Divisions have moved in to a position to cover the Port Moresby invasion force. The CVLs have transfered their KATES to Shortlands and are loaded with nothing but Zeros! These extra 'squadrons' plus the RUFES from Gili Gili are preforming LRCAP over my invasion TF with the 65th & 21st Brigades. The Kure SNLF and more supply will follow and then the 8th Area Army HQ and more supply will arrive all from Rabaul. The 2nd Infantry Division is also on its way from Java!

TURN NOTES: Troops begin unloading at Pt.Moresby ! Banzai!! Great to see the air base is down and that no strikes flew so my reecon of last turn was correct. I will wait a day or two while my forces build before making an attack.
Begining to become very concerned about the Aleutians adventure. Undecided if I should just go now and invade Dutch Harbor (Throw caution to wind) or pause and follow the plan to take Attu (and now Kiska) so as to have an air base for at least Naval Search missions. [&:]
Confident in whichever decision I make it will be the wrong one[:'(]

MAY 18th

OUR FIRST CARRIER BATTLE!
NAGUMO catches the Yorktown 180 miles west of Ndini!

My Surface Ships catch some AKs & APs hanging around Thursday Island. I had feared that he had some Cruisers there and placed that TF on a high react with orders to head in that direction.
Plus both of us spend a good amount of time sweeping sub laid minefields!

TURN NOTES:
Well he brought the YORKTOWN out, and I sunk her! I’m guessing he was using her to protect the TF which maybe filled with reinforcements for Lunga (Guadalcanal) and I sunk it w/ the AKAGI, KAGA & RYUJO. Apparently with the SHOKAKU & ZUIKAKU protecting the Pt. Moresby invasion he though he was safe, so my attacks on Midway worked to through him off. My BETTYs actually struck some of the Cruisers leaving Thursday Island, but I lost too many damaged for just 1 torpedo hit. My subs are starting to take a beating. Having trouble launching a Recon GLEN over Pearl.
LUNGA/Guadalcanal is a damn mess! I'm just gping to go ahead with my other plans and let his troops sit there. He has no Air Base so frack'em.
Problem is now I fear for the Dutch Harbor Invasion after all the delays taking ATTU. He has to know something is “a foot”. I may just have to call that off.

Well I nailed a bunch of his Cuisers who had escorted the Yorktown and others who had either just Fast Transported to, or were about to unload @ Lunga.

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES: Unfortunately the company of Paratroopers were unable to take Ndini this turn. I'm sure he'll put LRCAP over the base tomorrow, so I'll have to wait a few days till the TF w/SNLF arrive. Once more I probably delayed when I should have just "gone for it" days ago! I really plastered those cruisers with the 5th Carrier Division, and it could've been worse! The first attack @ Pt.Moresby was a huge success, reducing the Fortifications by 1 already! That has got to cause Floyd great consternation. Perhaps I wont even need the 2nd Infantry Division coming over from Java?[/font]

[font="times new roman"]TURN NOTES: The Company of SNLF quickly overran KISKA which will at least provide a base for fighters and MAVIS’ till I can take Attu. I probably should have postponed DUTCH HARBOR or just gone there w/o taking ATTU, but what’s done is done. Still having issues trying to RECON a GLEN over Pearl. [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Looks like I got a bad set of rolls at Pt. Moresby. The results where very surprising, considering the fact that I had reduced the Fortifications one level last turn. He has to be hurting for supplies at Pt. Moresby. I’ll just detail another small AK from RABAUL just in case this goes longer. Well the 2nd Division is still on its way.[/font]
[font="times new roman"]My Carriers chased down another fleeing Cruiser and punished it. As expected his LRCAP intercepted more PARAs heading for Ndini. Another opps I had left the TF w/SNLF for Ndini @ a waypoint so I just delayed that by a day or two. [/font]
