ny59giants (a) vs john 3rd (j) - the learning continues...for me

ny59giants · Post by **ny59giants** » Sun Oct 07, 2007 11:03 pm

Last week I was visiting the forum and looked at the "opponents wanted" thread and saw that John was looking for another PBEM game (I guess that he didn't have enough [:D]). Thus, we have taken the plunge and are trying out Big B's mod v1.4. I get to play the "good " guys while John is the "evil empire." I have another PBEM as the Allies near the end of 6/42 playing CHS scenario 158c (nik mod). Hopefully, I have learned some lessons that will not get repeated in this one (I would like the lessons to be new[:D]).

HOUSE RULES:

Non-historical 1st turn: The Japanese "may" move LCU's from their historical start positions to "major" bases throughout the Pacific (Truk, Kwajalein, Palau, Saigon, Camranh Bay, Formosa, Home Islands, etc.) From there they can be sent on turn 2 to invade where ever.

Multiple port attacks allowed on turn 1 & 2, but must be based on a CV/CVL/CVE. Thus, KB & mini-KB may be used in combinations non-historical.

450 planes total in one hex from CV/CVL/CVE's. No Allied "death stars" in late war stages, nor the KB plus "death star" by mid-42 when they get more CV's. OR may have CAP set to 50% instead of a plane limit.

ASW TFs cannot exceed 6 ships

PT Boats may not be included in TFs with other ships (exception: when transferring between bases - using the extra ships as portable fuel sources. PT TF may have a max of 6 ships in it 1 PT TF for a port size 0 to 4; 2 PT TF for a port size 5 to 8; and 3 PT TF for a port size 9 and 10.

No creating Barges/PT at bases smaller than size 3

No Allied CV Capable air units on CV's until 1/44 - designed to keep Marine Fighter groups off CV's

Allied player may only give orders to Allied warships (not AK/AP) already at sea on turn 1

No units of the Kwangtung HQ may be moved out of the area without first paying the applicable PP costs (Land or Air units)

AF size equals the number of 1e & 2e times 50.

No 4e level-bombing below 11,000' when set for naval attack. B-29's are not allowed to be set on naval attack.

Invasions only on base or dot hexes.

Cadre evacuations allowed.

Single-ship TFs are allowed to the end of 12/41. Afterwards, there must be two or more. This is to compensate for the game mechanics usually allowing 1 ship TF not being attacked

"Training" your squadrons in China is fine. The Allies may use "same-hex supply training" of bomber squadrons

No Japanese LCU naval invasions north of Tavoy until Singapore falls.

"Be realistic" with cutting off troops for surrender. A whole Btn would be sufficient to cut off a unit, but a few squads = no.

If you don't attack the Soviets on turn 1, please give 2 weeks lead time before attacking the Soviets (if you're going to do it), so I can come up with my own defensive posture. If you want to surprise the Soviets as well, you're welcome to beat the snot out of them with surprise on turn 1.

If you don't attack the Soviets on turn 1 (and also ambush their fleet), Stalin requires that he be allowed to relocate the Soviet fleet in a few weeks (when things have calmed down a little, you'd need to have nothing set to NavAtk around the Soviet ports so that I can move the fleet).

Allied Combat TFs at sea at start may issue new orders, but may not load troops.

Sub evac = ok. Sub invasion = not ok.

No city attacks in China for either side until 1/43 as historically there wasn’t major bombing outside of AF/ports.

No "shock with pursuit" attacks.

West map edge – Allied player allowed free passage from Aden down the 2 west most columns to row 81 to represent movement from Europe and Africa to Australia

Shoot, I wanted a crack at John III, my old UV opponent.  We keep missing each other.  He's a great opponent, in part because he's aggressive and keeps the pressure on.  Good luck to you both and enjoy!  I'll follow your AAR with interest - it'll be interesting to see how far John can expand before the Good Guys counterattack.

The Carnage begins as Johns launches CV based attacks at both Pearl and Manila. He sent the 2nd CV Division to attack the fleet at Manila and left the attack at Pearl to only 4 CV's. The results were mixed. [X(]

Observations: The normal invasion of Luzon was missing, especially the northern coast and there are no ships off the coast. Mini-KB was not in action. I see a possible attack coming towards the South Pacific and/or Central Pacific islands as first options with a quick push through the southern SRA to land quickly on Northern Australia as the second choice. With a non-historical first turn as a HR, I like to give the Japanese player the option of sending troops/shipping to another major port and then on the second day, they can head towards their objectives. I like a little "what if" without going overboard to a fantasy game (lunacy game).

Comments: John explained that he had split his 4 CV's of KB into 2 TF's and set CV Division 4 (Zuikaku & Shokaku) to follow Division 1 (Akagi & Kaga) on a full speed run from 120 mile NW of Pearl to try to capture my CV's. First, I don't know why he would separate them in the first place. [&:] There have been so many instances of the "follow" orders not working. John did not ask for a do over. Should we go back a few days and have him change the orders or re-combine KB with a new replay??

I don't know the outcome of the battle. Akagi had 15 bomb hits and Kaga got 5 bomb hits with 1 torpedo. I "think" Akagi is sunk and Kaga may not make it back.

castor troy · Post by **castor troy** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 1:07 pm

now isn´t that a cool beginning??? [:D] Sinking two IJN CVs on day two!! Congrats! I can´t see why you should ask for a redo. As you said, the follow order is just something that doesn´t work all the time. Perhaps he had the leading TF on full speed and mission speed on the following TF didn´t work. Who knows... Splitting CVs in different TFs has it´s risk and John paid for it. You have the advantage of mostly only one TF being attacked, but you have the risk of having them not follow each other.

I say: enjoy your early victory! [;)]

The dreaded "sync bug" is back, but I can live with it for a few turns. Once we get that fixed I will switch away from just Combat Reports to what is happening every few days. I find it is easier to follow AAR's that are not just reports and will add screen shots as well (I need to learn how to add text and things anyway [:D]).

Observations: More subs are popping up at various bases/ports that I had intended to use. The bad for me is that I will have to send in TF with ASW assets more than I like early in the game (which I don't have enough of). The good for me is that most of those bases/ports are in shallow waters, which improves my ASW efforts. [:D] Just about every ship trying to run "The Gauntlet" from Manila to the south has been sunk by mini-KB and CV division 2 (Hiryu & Soryu). [:(]

Observations: In the Op Report, Shokaku is spotted by PBY's in hex (105, 67) which places CV division 4 660 miles NW of Pearl. He must know I have Sara coming from San Diego and along with Lex and Big "E" I have him outnumbered 3:2 with CV division 1 either sunk or at least out of action. He did not invade Wake Island, yet. Is he going for Midway and wants to prevent me from reinforcing it without using CV's to intervene?? Or is he thinking of trying to get my AK's either leaving or entering Pearl?? Stay tuned.[:D]
