I hope you're doing fighter sweeps/LRCAP and whatever else you can manage to prevent air reinforcements and barges from making this a repeat of previous problem islands.

Yup B29's keeping the AF and port closed, Carriers capping the base and heavy and light surface TF's
 
The only niggle is its an atoll and I hadnt realised it so I have stopped my troopships unloading and rejigged my fleets into a heavy supply ony TF as I dont want another shock attack yet

India seems like one giant POW camp with lot of Japanese troops and aircraft waiting to add to your VP totals.  He might be able to take out a few fragments, but in the end its a 100,000 troops or so and a lot of disadvantaged and outnumbered air units for you to rack up VPs with.  And Karachi should be an easy bombardment target for BBs and CAs as I don't see how he could have any CDs there.  I hope you're timing your reconquest to include all of India b yMarch1946.

Lets see what happens at Ananami before I make any plans PZB has hinted, implied etc that something major has happened but I dont know and its killing me....
 
I do not handle waiting overly well !!!

And now I need to go out for beers with my friends and I don't wnat to !!!! - I have never been more tempted to take a sickie and claim I am ill just sdo I could weait for a turn...
 
How sad is that !!!!

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sun Mar 16, 2008 4:54 pm

OMG what a turn...

OK I screwed the pooch and didnt realise that Apanami was an Attol - Idiot me. I assumed PZB would either play it long or throw the kitchen sink at me.

Well you all know PZB - guess what 1 kitchen sink incoming !!!

Looks like the whole dammed IJN thats left came out to play anyway I was sorta ready for them but what a turn.

The IJN went down but not without taking a hell of a bite out of the USN - not many ships are sunk but I have a LOT of cripples.

Pretty much every Japanese ship is now sank but they put up a hell of a fight.

Stacking no more than 5 Fleet CV's is a pain as reaction moves are dispersing my CAP I have now convertewd every TF to be an escort TF and ordered all but 5 CV's back to Isheak - no point in risking more I can only stack 5 plus CVE's.

I need to wait another day for my disruption to fade and my remaining undamaged BB's to rearm from the AE's at Isheak.

As I have a day or so I have odered LBA to crucify Okinawa - PZB is obviously basing fighters there so I wat to eliminate the threat as its the only Shinden Sweep Base in range of Apananami - If I was PZB I would stick 300 Shindens there and sed 150 to Sweep Apanami that way he could attrit my Carriers if I was thick enough to send em back in.

So every Black Widow, B29, P51, P38 and B24 I can raise are going to attack Okinawa tomorrow.

All my CAG's are set to 0% naval search and all my TBM's and DB's are also set to 0% search - lastly every fighter in the fleet is set to range 0 - The USAAF will need to get the job done alone...

Hell of a turn

This turn I sent the entire Heavy bomber fleet at Kadina PZB did sweep Apanami while my ships had moved out of the hex and consolidated nearby
 
I made a call to only keep 5 fleet carriers int he fight at a time.
 
My reasoning is to many TF's are reacting disrupting my CAP and pulling my forces into Shinden range. So I have consolidated into  3 TF's of which one has CVE's the others are back at Isheak replenishing ammo and will in due course take the cripples back to Manila.
 
I have ordered the two Carrier TF's at Marcus to move at Flank Speed for the battle PZB is serious about this and I will need them (should have hgad them on site yesterday but I wanted to refuel and replensih them 1st) When  they arrive they will rotate the fourt currently deployed carriers back to rearm.
 
A further 4 at Isheak will then move in.
 
I am also flyingin standby fighters and reducing the number of TBM's in the fleet (now that the Jap fleet  is gone Divebombers can take care of most units so its better to have more fighters).
 
After the destruction of Kadina I will use LBA top hit Naha tomorrow I want to fight my LBA against his wherever possible even a 1:2 exchange rate is worth it as my LBA can take the losses.
 
After Naha is neutralised I will send the heavies into hit Apanami and unload my troops and shock attack again. I will also have 4 BB's back on station rearmed to support that attack with NGS.
 
Keeping my CAG on a very tight rein is important I must not let them waste themselves against Shindens or Reppus
 
FM -2 pool is getting low
F6F is empty
F4U1D is empty
F4U is empty
Navy pilotr pool is empty
USAAF pilot pool is empty
B29 pool is empty
 
But I have destroyed c 2,000 Japanese aircraft how much longer can he go on this is a must win fight for me so if it costs the entire fleet so be it.

Thousands of Barges and flying boats are landing troops and supplies at Apanami I need to keep sending DE's and DD's and even 6 PT Boats to the hex to try and kill them but they dont get them all.
 
Too many to count.
 
Haing neutralised Kadina I am more confident that I can send the fleet back to Apanami as I wont be at risk of Shinden Sweeps

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 1:07 am

Arkansas and Texas hit Naha in advance of my B29's to try and soften it up - didnt help much still a bloodbath but hopefully a lot of shinden sqns will be stuck there.
 
I shuld probabbyl go after engine production again to try and restrict his ability to build more aircraft he has lost a lot of Betties, Shindens, Grace, Oscars and even Judys his pools must be getting low - mustn't they ?
 
Another day of heavy losses I have exactly one experienced Sqn at Apanami and that s the British Sqn it resized itself to 54 while on a fleet carrier a month ago - weird but boy am I gratefull - it draws on the RAF pilot pool so its giving me an edge with that TF.
 
My pilots are getting tired and more and more are falling but they are doing welll.
 
The ones that are left are the best of the best survive a day like today and every pilot is a veteran !!!!

A few are starting to get through but the underway replenishment of AA by USN forces in 45 is really saving my ships the AE's are beggining to run low I will need to withdraw one of the replenishement TF;'s soon - right now AE's are more valuable than Cruisers.
 
I need more ships but no more are available

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 1:12 am

Tomorow the entire kitchen sink is going after Apanami I hope to get a 1:1 to start the process if for no other reason it may persuade PZB that he cannot win this fight and stop the mass AK reinforcement convoy thats out there somewhere.
 
Problem is if I spot it my carrier s react so I am blind.
 
On past behaviour PZB will bring in a 100 - 200 AK convoy with a few Divs I need to show sufficient progress to make him realise its not worth it !!!

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:44 am

OK now that I have time to pause and think - PZB fighting it out for Apanami should have been predictable but I didnt. My surface fleet is in tatters but then his is mostly sunk.
 
well over 2,500 Japanese Aircraft have been shot down overt the last three days at a cost of about 800 of mine.
 
I cannot relly afford these losses but we shall see.
 
Tomorrow the kitchen sink goes after Apanami - every bomber, LCU and ship is going in and my Army is going to launch a shock attack to try and take the base.
 
After that base is mine I will need to spend a few weeks reorganising the fleet.

PZB is off on holiday soon so I really want a turn back to know if my attack went well.
 
If I dont get 1:1 I am soooo screwed [:D][:D][:D]
 
My losses are extreme but his are worse - surely he has to have low pools ....
 
I wonder losses have been heaviest in Bettys, Shindens etc should I go after engine production in the HI ?
 
Would a massive attack on a deep base now pay dividends while he is fighting for Apanami - if I get 1:1 I will consider it as I will probably need to rest troops anyway.
 
I think I will also order my cripples out of the theatre tehy just take up berthing space and make me think I am stronger than I am !!!

Well another nasty turn a lot more Jap planes go down as do two more CVE's

But despite 17,000 casualties the attack worked and knocked a fort level off.

Not desive but I will need to keep it up.

I lost a lot of Liberators but they did their job....
