Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy.

Post by Andy Mac »

OK it is time to finally get to play a PBEM and my old opponent String has agreed to give me a game.

TF 288 encounters mine field at Bataan (78,77)

Allied Ships

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TF 289 encounters mine field at Bataan (78,77)

Allied Ships
    AM Whippoorwill
    AM Lark
    AM Quail



28 mines cleared


That's why I only send out the AMs during the first turn. Despite the way that the Game Replay gives a message that minesweeping is in action before most other things during the night phase I suspect that is only for minesweepers that are already sitting in minefields. If they have to get to the minefield, such is the case at Bataan, then the minesweepers go out in whatever order the Game sends out TFs from Manila, and it appears to send sub TFs out first.

RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy.

Post by Andy Mac »

The battle of malaya is critical to allied success in the early days of the war the more time the japanese waste in Malaya the stronger the allies get everywhere else.

IMO there are a number of things an allied player needs to watch/note.

1. As any Japanese player will tell you the first stretch of movement is a class A swine.

Getting units to Alor Star and Temuloh over those bad (non existant) roads is a pain - armour can do it but armour alone is not enough against even the lightweight allied forces if they make a fight of it.

Keeping the Japanese OFF the rail network and away from strategic mode is your number 1 objective.

2. Dont get cut off and defeated in detail

3. The japanese have limited LCU's and a poor forward port network.

Its the balancing act of these three issues that determines allied strategy in Malaya

Eventually when the Japanese get to Malacca or Johore they can close Singapore and thats the beginiing of the end in this AAR I will run through my defence of Malaya and why I am doing as I go

My strategy is to some extent dictated by my opponent

String has committed his paras to the PI which makes my decisions easier

So I am using malay Bns to forward defend all the rail bases to slow the japanese down so every base has at least one unit in it while i am trying to concentrate III Corps at malacca

An initial line can be constructed at either of the yellow phase lines it means defending 2 hexes and neither is perfect because it gives up a forward base that the Japanese can strategiclly rail into which speeds up their whole campagn this is a bad thing for the allies.

But once the Japanese get rolling downt he coast road they can move pretty quickly anyway - a key thing is to know when to pull back avoiding gettign your Bdes cut off or retreated is important. A few Bns lost is small beer their combat utility is low anyway.

I like to have a few of them left behind anyway to try and come back onto the LOC after the main forces have passed through - the ssvf bNS and the ISF Bns are good for this they have little to add to a Bde or Div battle anyway but they can be a real nuisance int he rear of a Japanese advance and force them to leave garrisons in every base.

Malaya is a pig of a place to fight for both sides exploit it

So my plan is to have Bns covering each of the bases and concentrate in and around Kuala Lumpera on the rear of the twoyellowblue lines for now but this will not be my main fighting line.

For that I have four choices

Kuala Lumper - open terrain if i had more armour or Arty it would be perfect but I dont so I probably wont my green troops need all the help they can get.

The first Blue line is viable hard to bypass decent terrain if the Japanese land at mersing you have time to bug out - its got real possibilities.

Johore same and it cannot be flanked

Singapore I could just run for Singapore and dig in and I may well do so but a delay at either of the other spots even a few days would help

OK string is back so I will be updating again

battle of Malaya feels faster than v PZB no attack on Mersing but I think Sting is not waiting for his forces to concentrate before moving - time will tell.

Certainly been very aggressive in attacking my centre and north so I am reacting by strengthening the covering bases in the south to try and give me opportunities to get raiding forces into his vitals.

OK back to it more to follow but basically String has returned from Holiday with a bang

Still working out my strategy for this game.

He has pshed onwards so fast into North Borneo that I am going to swivel abd try to remain strong in the south.

I think he may be about to try an early atack on North Java no intel just gut feeling.

So if I reinforce Timor/Kendari/Ambon it could provide a counter weight.

Last time I played string we had mammoth battles around Timor so I need to avod replaying that game.

He definitely wont....

Anyway lots of options being considered but in general main objective is a flexible defence.

Still deciding what to do on Malaya

RE: Andy Mac v String - this time no mercy.

Post by Andy Mac »

OK still not sure what to do in this game the mass exodus from Manila has cost the usual bt by waiting I think I caufght some of his TF's low on fuel,.

heavy raids on Manila and Sinbgapore today the early capture of the North Borneo base is a real PITA that stops movement accross north DEI

I think I need to try and surge forward as many air units as possible in this game.
