RHS Test 9A: 19 May: Battle at Tanshia Shan!

In this report we see a somewhat unexpected carrier battle. The KB moved to cover operations near Kendari (from Amboina) - and ended up one hex SE of there. The Allied carriers moved to a position two hexes North of Dili - coordinating air power with Dili - so they could strike 7 hexes North from it (but only 5 from the carriers). These positions for carriers ended up 6 hexes apart - strike range for a Kate but one hex too far for the better SBDs. So only the KB could attack - and it did! Now both sides know where the other carriers are - how many there are (three for both) - and that the Allies are operating under land based fighter cover just as the Japanese are.

RE: RHS Test 9A: The Battle of the Mindinao Sea!!!

Post by el cid again »

Or the Death of the Houston, alternate title. The entire Asiatic Fleet was able to assemble into two task forces, and run in on the landings at Cagayan, Mindinao. Houston and company took on a superior cruiser force, and did fairly well beating it up, in spite of having their T crossed. The later force managed to engage the enemy CVL/CVE force (dai ni kiddo butai).

Meanwhile the enemy, which did no great damage yesterday at Hawaii, did not return to finish the job. Instead they set out at high speed to box in the US carriers, whom they had brief contact with and had some idea where it might be. Correctly guessing the US ships might head SW at full speed - the most difficult vector for them - they did the same thing - and long range PBY and B-17 searches have them on the correct vector. The Japanese have tankers, the Allies do not; the Allies are faster and less likely to take system damage at full speed; this may be an interesting race.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 9 Dec 1941 Revisited

Post by el cid again »

The turn was redone because Allied Chair 3 move (UK/CW/China) was accidentally not
included due to a file download to the wrong folder. This version features something new
to RHS & AE - to make China stronger and more historical - base forces are not starting
so poor in air support squads. AVG really would deploy forward - typically two squadrons
at a time - to achieve tactical surprise. This was done here - although apparently the
enemy was either unable to fly or socked in by weather. The other significant change,
which matters, was the commitment of RN PT boats - these turned back two different major
invasion groups bound for Luzon. Otherwise, the Allies do very well off Malaya, scoring
many torpedo hits with Vildebeeste - which it turns our there were 100 of in inventory
at Singapore (although only two squadrons used them). For the first time, the historically
correct numbers are modeled.

Events proceeded more or less normally in NEI, the Philippines, China and the Solomans,
but the Great Sea Chase with six carriers chasing two entered a state of confusion:
neither side can see the other. The Great Pacific Sea Chase is running generally on a
SW vector from Johnston Island area, and has damaged most of the ships on both sides,
due to running at full speed. The Japanese gave up sinking the United States Fleet battleships
to hunt carriers - thus far unsuccessfully. 7 battleships were damaged, 4 badly enough to
need some shipyard services, but 4 were able to sail on turn 2 and the whole fleet will be
operational within a week.

This turn had an unusual number of actions in many places,
but subs on both sides have been able to find the enemy, and
they took a dreadful toll. The surprisingly hard to sink
Shinshu Maru took yet another torpedo - and still didn't sink -
but surely it will - of Patani, Thailand. Numbers of other
ships took torpedoes and shells and many were sunk outright.
Yamashita's Army is just starting to find the enemy - investing
Kota Bahru by land today - and two engineer units made it to
the Western RR - to find the position defended and themselves
in danger. The active defense has very much messed up the
timetables and many units are fragmented, forced to come ashore
in different hexes from other parts of the same unit. The
bomber "hammer" fell on Georgetown today just like it did on
Singapore yesterday, but this time the enemy airplanes had left
before they arrived - none were damaged on the ground.

A surprising force, covered by the ni Kiddo Butai (CVL/CVE force),
seems to be headed for Tarakan, one hex out. Hosho joined this
force, bringing it to four small carriers. Yet another force landed
at Miri, covered by a heavy surface force.

On Luzon, many more troops came ashore South of Manila, and the
main Southern approaches fell. The two Philippine Army divisions
had attacked yesterday, seeing what seemed to be an opportunity -
a lone recon regiment in their hex. But before the attack went home
two infantry regiments arrived, and the two divisions were decimated.
They were combat ineffective today, and were lucky to retreat into
Manila. A tank unit began moving South through the Cagayan Valley
in the NE, and the leading Homma's HQ arrived at Linguyan City, where
he hopes to do something with the only regiment ashore in this sector,
supported by artillery and air power. Offshore PT boats drove away
his task forces - and there also are many submarines harassing them:
they will retire, their troops ashore with more than enough supplies.

In the Central and South Pacific, The Great Carrier Chase has slowed
down - the Japanese are refueling and hunting for the Americans -
and the Americans are trying to find fuel. The destroyers, shed two
days ago at Canton Island - have all refueled in three packages - and
are headed SE toward Tahiti - hoping to draw the enemy off the scent of
the big ships. The carriers and cruisers had to refuel at sea - and
the refueling op went wrong - so the force had to divide into a unit
with many ops spent, and one with much fewer spent, a carrier in each.
Advised to turn SE and try for Tahiti - which might be unwise given
the destroyers might lead the enemy there - they lack the legs to try.
So they continue SW - still opening the range with Saratoga group -
which now is closing on Tahiti - but many days out. Sara will pick up
an oiler out of Hawaii en route. At the moment it seems it will only
be able to "rescue" the destroyers from Halsey's force - and Halsey sails
on with 6 CA and 2 carriers - all suffering from systems and engine damage
in the high speed run. The Japanese presumably have similar damage,
but don't seem to be going home. The KB, commanded by Vice Admiral Ozawa,
appears to think its mission is to hunt down the central Pacific carriers.

Today recon out of Canton Island reports THREE different carrier task forces - all well North of the island -
apparently it is hunting the US carriers still. It did sink a large AP. The US carriers are several days
ahead of them and may get a way - their problem being fuel. There are few possible sources of fuel - only Auckland and Sydney are close to good enough. But the US carriers likely can refuel and escape before these ports can be approached.

This turn actually represents a "lull" in the pace of operations in most
areas, because the Japanese are moving to contact, because in two
areas they have exhausted air groups which are resting during the
march to contact, and in a third area they have lost contact with and
are seeking contact with the enemy aircraft carriers. For that reason,
it features a great deal more submarine and anti-submarine action
relative to other kinds of attacks. In spite of this, more locations fell
to ground and airborne assault (plural in both cases), and troops continue
to conduct landings. The Japanese team is experienced and not very
distressed by problems of various kinds.

In the Philippines, Homma elected not to even move to contact on the two
mane "fronts" - facing Clark from Linguyan in the North, and facing Manila
from either hex South of it. There is but one line regiment in the North,
and 65th "Brigade" ( with three two battalion regiments ) has not even landed
yet. Although supported by a HQ and two artillery units, and in spite of wholly disorganizing two Philippine Army Divisions plus two nominally "better" US Army
units, including armor, and throwing out an entire corps, including HQ and
artillery in support - Homma wants to let his men rest before moving on Clark
with an even stronger defense. In the South, two regiments beside Manila are
wholly unsupported - a recon unit formerly with them in combat (when they
utterly wiped out two Philippine Army divisions in their first attack) - went South
to claim the RR LOC so units still farther South can move forward. Many units,
amounting to two divisions, have waded ashore all along the SE arm of the island,
but need days to get into position. Meanwhile, every air unit on Formosa, Luzon
and Mindinao is tired - and so most are resting - while the troops continue to land
and move forward to the "fronts." Mindinao is similar on a smaller scale -
a minimal force that seized Cagayan (Dole Pineapple Plantation, the B-17 base)
is in defensive posture, waiting for reinforcements, after two different regiments
managed to challenge their invasion (separately). Air support has landed, but
air units transferred in are not yet fit to operate. Some troops were lost, in
particular to submarine attacks, and some ships were damaged when Asiatic
Fleet combined briefly for a two pronged assault on ships at Cagayan.

In Malaya, Yamashita is in a surprisingly similar situation. Losses of ships
were due to submarine and air strikes, and the problem of too few important
landing sites making it easy to tell where to focus attacks. This was compounded
by the bad LOC (which turns out to be a map error that we should fix) - no
primary or secondary road from Singora to Alor Star. So the Japanese were
forced to bottleneck even when they got ashore. They got ashore all broken up,
ships moving to different hexes because of submarine and air attack issues,
and the force is still sorting out. Days of air defense were followed by air attacks
to insure Kota Bahru fell and the forward road junction was captured - so the
air units are tired - and generally resting. Armor at last has reached the Western
main road - and will attack Georgetown tomorrow. Kota Bahru has a similar
LOC problem - only a trail moves along the RR South of it (also a map error) -
so it will take time to go that direction. This army isn't so much distant as on Luzon
as merely disorganized and in different hexes not connected by good roads -
so needs a similar period of days to sort out before it can be truly an offensive force.
With two forward air bases, and three more that will fall in a few days, it will
be able to mount a powerful offensive soon - just now now.

In the South Seas, the Allies were hit again at Canton Island by one element of the Kiddo Butai - attempting (unsuccessfully today) to put out the "eyes" of the USN -
its PBYs. Recon shows three task forces North and NW of the island - and wasn't
looking East - so there might be another one in that direction. The Japanese are
spread out over a line 600 nautical miles long - in their quest to find the Allied carriers.
They have taken the time to refuel all the KB divisions (there seemed to be thre of
these yesterday - and likely still are today - the other formation being a combination
tanker/replacement destroyer formation. They came to hunt with support - and
may have brought other aviation ships and submarines as well (two raiders with
aircraft were sunk on the first turn). Not mainly hunting battleships, they are not done
hunting carriers. Big as the Pacific is, the problem for the Japanese is less daunting
than it may seem: Allied carriers, forced to run at high speed, are out of fuel. Not
many places can supply it, and the Allies (unlike the Japanese) did not start with
tankers in position - or very many tankers at all in the area. [There are two replenishment ships in the South Pacific - a slow one that is full and a fast one that
is empty] The Americans, if they do not want to run to bingo fuel, must go to or near
Sydney, Melbourne, or Auckland in the next few days. So KB probably will keep on
coming until it has established they are not in fact in that area.

In China things continue to be a whole new game situation. However, Hong Kong showed signs of cracking today: fortifications were reduced to zero, and for the first
time Allied casualties were greater than Japanese. Also for the first time, the Japanese got 1:1 odds. Hong Kong probably will fall tomorrow. Other fights have not gone well - and the Japanese are still trying to clear their LOC and flank a few of the
forward positions - or move to contact in others. Chasing guerillas which badly cut up
the LOCs has prevented any serious attacks from being mounted except on the new
Axis - a minor RR in rough country running NE from Sian. Surprisingly, the first fight
went well - and the Japanese are moving to contact for the next position - which is
in real mountains and may be tough.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 14 Dec 1941 Good and Bad for Both Sides

Post by el cid again »

It was a dismal night for Japanese surface action intercepts,
but a very good one for US and Philippine PT boats - with 9 hits
on three ships - all sunk of course - at Cagayan, Mindinao where
the Japanese continue to have a battle with a regiment of Filipino's
who refuse to leave the base hex. In spite of that, Mindinao is
a disaster for the Allies. The B-17 Force was hit before it could
fly (technically two planes attacked) - and 2 of 3 squadrons were
wiped out. The three regiments of infantry are widely separated
and one at Surigao will never recover. The one at Cagayan is not
allowed to leave or retreat - so it too will die in place. Leaving
only one to contest Davao. The several units that should form up
on the island never will get the chance.

Subs scored on both sides - a plague - as indeed they should be.

RAF bagged the first capital ship on either side in the game, sinking
Hyuga with an eventual total of 24 MORE 500 pound bomb its - adding
to three plus three torpedoes the day before - all from RAF bombers.
Hyuga may have sunk under the sheer weight of ordnance!

However, Hong Kong fell today. So did many other locations, by default,
to ground assault and several to air assault. Luzon in particular is
rapidly being processed into a Japanese island. Recon indicates Homma
has begun his move on Clark from Lingayen City - never mind 65th Brigade
has not caught up with him. But the larger force in the South is still
moving to contact or even attacking and securing the route - with one
more assault to go before it is entirely under control. Geogetown
fell, and the advance elements of 25th Army will move on Taiping by
primary road - a single day for the fragmented armor units.

The Kiddo Butai continued its SW journey, strung out in a line NW from
Canton Island. It is blindly groping because it is beyond the range
of Mavis searches - from now on it must find targets on its own. To
that end it has formed three two carrier divisions. US carriers are
out of fuel and forced to proceed at cruising speed, but are about three
days ahead. Until they refuel they cannot change course.

RE: RHS Test 9A: Analysis of the carrier chase

Post by el cid again »

Experience in previous tests with "a great raid" conducted by Kiddo Butai into
the Nanyo (South Seas) seems to be confirmed by the Test 9 case. In Test 9,
a skilled Japanese team adopted a non-standard opening gambit. It appears they
tried to have their cake and eat it too - to take a shot at catching the US carriers and,
if that failed, to do a strike at the battleships in port at Pearl Harbor. In the event,
they actually DID make contact with one US carrier (a different one) in each case - Test 9A and Test 9C. However, the initial contact was at surface range, and failed to produce engagement. Test 9A failed to make contact via air strikes, while test 9C did - and both sides got hurt. Overall, the strategy failed if viewed in terms of ships sunk at game start - damage at Pearl Harbor was greatly reduced because only 3 carriers attacked it - while the other three were tied up with the carrier fight. THIS analysis, however, is about OTHER effects of the strategy - not the sinking capital ships dimension.

In test 9A, the KB assumed (correctly) the US carriers would flee to the SW - the hardest vector for it to catch them. This chase has not yet ended nor resulted in any damage to Allied warships (although other ships have been sunk incidentally). But the threat presented by the KB in the South Pacific has had profound effects along the lines of a "cumulative strategy" - originally called the "guerre de course."

First of all, it is unsafe to send slow transport ships along the normal Sea LOC between the USA and Australia. All ships originally leaving the US West coast ended up diverted to Hawaii (broadly speaking, including Midway). All ships leaving Australia for the US West Coast have either diverted to Panama or to going around South America. Ships sent to Midway and Johnston were engaged effectively by submarines staking out both islands. No other location along the SLOC has received supplies, fuel or reinforcements of any kind - except the main Hawiian islands. The lack of units and supplies means there is virtually no construction going on, and very little defense for these bases or potential bases or operational capability in them as well. This amounts to a delay of the normal Allied developments along the SLOC.
As well, many ships have left Australia bound for Capetown instead of the USA or Panama - a longer route (exaggerated by map projection issues and problems with the distance between locations table related to off map use). While these ships probably will not be sunk, they are effectively denied to the Allies as useful assets for many weeks.

Second, the Allies cannot know when or what direction the KB will change course to? It might "turn right" and "go home" up the East coast of Australia - catching the coastal traffic and ships inbound from China, the Philippines and NEI - laden with resources and/or oil as well as local traffic vital to locations like Sydney and Melbourne - both of which need resources and oil in excess of what comes in by RR to be fully productive. Or it might "turn left" and head along the standard SLOC - catching slow ships using this route - some of them loaded. It might turn half left, go farther South - and then turn still more left - and sweep the bottom of the map - a route nominally "safer" than the standard SLOC. Or it might NOT turn at all - but go "strait on" -
and circumnavigate Australia. For these reasons, all traffic from the Gulf of Carpenteria to South Australia, and all traffic on the standard SLOC has been diverted to "safer" routes. These diversions generally mean the shipping will not be used efficiently, and will not be in position to do normal logistical duties in this region for many weeks.

Third, the United States Fleet (i.e. the battleships and their supporting vessels) has not been destroyed, nor even long delayed. Four battleships, in two groups, with escorts, have already departed Hawaii for the US West Coast - entirely repaired. The other four could follow (unless a mission for them is found somewhere else), within a month. This is the main downside for Japan - it has failed to alter the ratio of capital ships in its favor. The loss of one Japanese battleship was offset by the arrival of Yamato - so the ratio remains unchanged.

Fourth - the US carriers have survived, but in a damaged state, and they are widely separated - by two weeks of sailing or more (in the sense that USS Saratoga is far to the East of the original pair - half an ocean apart - while USS Yorktown - just arrived - is at US East Coast). That is, the US carrier force has not been able to concentrate, and will need many days of repair if ever it does reach safety. This isn't as ideal (from a Japanese point of view) as being sunk, but it means the carriers are not much of a threat to operations in the near term either. The Japanese chase has prevented the US carriers from going where they would go if some plan existed for their use. The potential still exists one or two might be lost. That is, the jury is still out on the initial exchange of capital ships - because the Japanese might still catch the US ones.

Fifth, there is a real difference between KB with a significant tanker train, and the US carriers, with none at game start. The US ships lack the range to go into a logistical desert - and ultimately are forced to go to one of a very small number of locations to refuel - or to split up. The apparent slight advantage the USN ships have in mobility is negated by the significant advantage the IJN ships have in tanker support. That was improved by pre game diversion of the tankers to a location farther South than usual.
Starting the game near Kwajalein instead of NW of Hawaii meant they were in a better position to support the KB if it had to move SW - which in the event it did.

Sixth - variations of the outcome was possible. The USN carriers could have not moved together - and went in different directions. They could have reversed and tried to sneak by KB in the night. They could have "turned left" and made for the US West Coast (and USS Saratoga) - at the risk of being detected early on and being engaged by a vastly superior force. Note the carries DID shed their destroyers which WERE able to "turn left" and disengage - although it is possible they were allowed to leave the area so the chase could continue.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 19 Dec 1941: Rabaul Falls!

Post by el cid again »

Allied tracks show the KB is still operating in three divisions deep in the
South Seas. Two are near Fiji and both came on SW. The third, SW from
there near Tonga, turned back NW - possibly to refuel. The other two groups
spent several days proceeding slowly - and presumably refueled before they
came on again at full cruising speed.

Meanwhile raider Thor ran into shipping running Westward South of Australia,
sinking several ships and revealing there is shipping in the area. Thor
has an aircraft and radar, and greatly complicates Allied options should they
attempt to run to the West with the carriers Enterprise and Lexington. Now
refueled, they have the theoretical option of running almost anywhere.

British forces in NW Malaya were unable to survive Japanese air strikes long enough

assault force.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 21 Dec 1941: Combat on Luzon and in China

Post by el cid again »

The Great Carrier Chase continues, but at a desultory pace: the Japanese carrier groups
are now widely separated near Fiji - and the US carriers are out of their detection radius near
New Zealand - where they refueled. With the range to go literally anywhere, the Allied force,
which shed its destroyers along the way, is now split into two groups - damaged and not
so damaged. The lesser damaged ships - including Lexington - will attempt to link up with
Saratoga's group headed SW from San Diego. Enterprise group will try to evade and hide,
needing repairs before it should attempt a long ocean crossing.

Once again - Thor played cat an mouse with five groups of two warships - mainly cruisers -
not far from Adelaide - and while contacted more than once - managed to evade combat.

The main battles were for Clark and Manila - both were reduced in fortification level at great
cost to the Japanese - neither fell. Otherwise there was a battle near Canton which also
reduces fortification levels but also didn't fall.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 22 Dec 1941: The Fall of Manila!

Post by el cid again »

I have never seen the Philippines taken apart so comprehensively or so fast, particularly in the
hands of an offensive-defensive minded Allied player who actually attacks! Tacloban was invaded
today, Cebu Island was invaded yesterday at Bogo on its Northern end, and the multiple units
there no doubt are marching on Cebu City. Today a follow up attack utterly wiped out the
defenders at Manila - who I expected to retreat to Clark - which is still in Allied hands and which
had two units walk out to from Manila only yesterday.

The enemy, a team of mainly professional US Army and USAF counterinsurgency types, is
continuing with The Great Carrier Chase - now approaching New Zealand. They have nothing
in sight but continue on - on principle - and have achieved something of an operational success
in the form of denuding the area of shipping - so nothing is being built up. Instead, the US
carriers stripped NZ of fuel to the point all HI has been shut down - and nothing is inbound to
replace it - meaning supply production will be significantly less. They also have a tactical
victory unknown to them in terms of damaged ships - several destroyers that diverted to
Christmas got stuck there by lack of fuel - and only now are headed to Hawaii to repair (the
first convoy finally having reached the first island in the SLOC). A number of cruisers are
significantly damaged and need more than a month to repair. Both Enterprise and Lexington
are going to be out of action for many weeks due to transit time to anywhere useful plus
repair time. In China they demonstrate a grasp of counterinsurgency concepts, and are
anything but as disorganized as the badly divided and poorly directed IJA of history. The main
reason they are in trouble in China is the changes to Chinese geography and units have forced
them to concentrate and to support with air power in any situation not in clear terrain. In fact
the Chinese have an actual movement to contact for a major attack at Nanchang - a move
alarming enough to have caused its aircraft to be evacuated. But the Allied Chinese player,
who is more or less a professional wargamer, is pessimistic. Against a typical player who
ignores China, maybe China can launch offensives. Not against these guys, he says.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 23 Dec 1941: Lexington & Ryuho Torpedoed!

Post by el cid again »

The Great Carrier Chase included, apparently, more than the Allies knew: submarines
with aircraft in addition to Thor and the Kiddo Butai split into three divisions. The disappearance
of most of the subs from Hawaii should have been a warning that might be the case. Today,
one of the subs got lucky and put a fish into Lexington. She may well survive one such hit,
but now the KB and other subs know where she is, it may be difficult to leave the area. This
is along the extreme Southern map edge - SE of Auckland and SW of Taihiti - in the second
row up from the bottom.

Not to be wholly outdone, the Allies torpedoed Ruyho off Tarakan. She was able to launch
an air strike anyway.
