RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
I know that AAR's can be pretty dry without pictures and commentary and I apologize for that. This game is fascinating.
I attempt to sortie another division out to Babeldaop and find myself in the middle of a submarine minefield that I did not even realize was there. The Saratoga takes a torpedo causing an Ammo Storage Explosion. Fortunately it only does 12 sys and 16 flotation of which only 8 is serious.
However, it caused me to realize how unprepared I was versus NJP regarding the setup. I started looking over the entire game and realized how lax I had become with logistics and preparation and spent 2 days in planning.
Anyway, here is a picture of my fleet with their dicks hanging in the wind. Given his apparent prep, I finally convinced myself not to go through with the reinforcements. In fact, I plan on turning the almost disaster into a left hook landing on Mindano if possible.
The much dreaded and feared Fiji Commando Battalion is planning an airborne landing at dieos or whatever on Mindano. It is the 2nd base north on the island in Jungle/Rough terrain. It appeared empty to the search planes a while back. IF their landing is unopposed I may just drop the division heading for Baelbob into here as reinforcement. He has a larger base built on northern Mindano but the bases south of the island are building quickly and the dreaded B-29's have almost arrived.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Thailand February 23, 1944
NJP has continuously withdrawn in this area giving up Rangoon and Moulemein without much of a fight. I am worried he is setting up to encircle me and cut off a large portion of my troops so I am trying to move cautiously.
Shock attack going in at Tavoy next turn.
The other possibility is that I denied him any significant resources and/or fuel in India in 1941 and 1942 and he simply does not want to waste good resources in this area.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Northern Sumatra - Malaya
I have been moving down the coast and NJP is again retreating. I would be worried but I have 1100+ av at Sabang including most of the paratroops, 600 AV at the base in between and plenty of supply at Medan if he managed to cut me off.
I am hesitant to invest too much in Malaya before getting ready to set off the Kamakazi's. Right now I am pivoting my forces toward the Pacific, and Phillipines. Once I isolate Palembang it seems like the peninsula of Malaya is useless to the Japanese.
Within 3 months I would like to do a deep sustained strike to the coast of China hopefully with millions of tons of supply. That would certainly hasten the end of the Japanese war machine.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
February 22, 1944
I have all the ships move to the northwest as if to get away from the subs. And I am trying to do that too.
One of the interesting things about this movement is over the next 3-4 days his subs will chase me tracking west. Unbenownst to him, I have fully loaded transports with all kinds of base force goodies rolling in right behind completely unopposed to those hidden demons.
2 fleet bases and 5-6 group bases are rolling in from the west coast. Finally the AV support is catching up to the planes. It is my fault for ignoring logistics for a while. This game is all about logistics.
Predictably, he was looking for the Saratoga to be seeking port. The ship has already repaired the 8 non serious damage and will be keeping to sea. Therefore the move to the northwest was not predicted and no subs got a chance at my ships.
Also, a nice quick load and unload of troops at Oosthaven.
The Fiji Commando Brigade has done it's work and the beaches of Dieos are ready for the 2nd marine division.

I have all the ships move to the northwest as if to get away from the subs. And I am trying to do that too.
One of the interesting things about this movement is over the next 3-4 days his subs will chase me tracking west. Unbenownst to him, I have fully loaded transports with all kinds of base force goodies rolling in right behind completely unopposed to those hidden demons.
2 fleet bases and 5-6 group bases are rolling in from the west coast. Finally the AV support is catching up to the planes. It is my fault for ignoring logistics for a while. This game is all about logistics.
Predictably, he was looking for the Saratoga to be seeking port. The ship has already repaired the 8 non serious damage and will be keeping to sea. Therefore the move to the northwest was not predicted and no subs got a chance at my ships.
Also, a nice quick load and unload of troops at Oosthaven.
The Fiji Commando Brigade has done it's work and the beaches of Dieos are ready for the 2nd marine division.

Paratroopers take Phucket. Why the Phuck not?
Subs have been chasing me for about 4 turns now so I do what they dont expect. I do not move for the turn. Predictably they do not look for me in the same spot I was yesterday. No sub attacks again. This has worked out pretty well. However, it is not a fair game.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
February 25, 1944
Allied forces CAPTURE Denpasar !!!
Allied forces CAPTURE Siquijor !!!
NJP letting me take Siquijor may be a trap or just an oversight. The base actually has an airfield so I can have troops there next turn. I like doing these penetrating attacks where I take a base like Digos and then immediately capture an objective farther up like Siquijor. It diverts attention away from the previous capture and puts one of them in more of the back lines.
Another attack that seems particularly successful is a shotgun attack. Next turn I have the 2nd paratroopers dropping on both bases on the island with Puerto Princessa and the closest two westerly bases. If I only attacked one base then there would be one clear target. By attacking multiple bases either by airdrop or amphibious assault or both it confuses the issue and makes it less likely for opponents to attack back.
I am pulling all troop transports back from Mindano so I do not have to do any escorting this turn. My carrier forces are going to move up and north again to prepare to support the landing of a division and support troops. Likely they will land at Puerto Princessa but it is based upon what my paratroopers find as well. Most of the bases were scouted at one time or another and all are thought to be empty although there have been some weird sightings on the northeast corner of the island. We shall see.

NJP letting me take Siquijor may be a trap or just an oversight. The base actually has an airfield so I can have troops there next turn. I like doing these penetrating attacks where I take a base like Digos and then immediately capture an objective farther up like Siquijor. It diverts attention away from the previous capture and puts one of them in more of the back lines.
Another attack that seems particularly successful is a shotgun attack. Next turn I have the 2nd paratroopers dropping on both bases on the island with Puerto Princessa and the closest two westerly bases. If I only attacked one base then there would be one clear target. By attacking multiple bases either by airdrop or amphibious assault or both it confuses the issue and makes it less likely for opponents to attack back.
I am pulling all troop transports back from Mindano so I do not have to do any escorting this turn. My carrier forces are going to move up and north again to prepare to support the landing of a division and support troops. Likely they will land at Puerto Princessa but it is based upon what my paratroopers find as well. Most of the bases were scouted at one time or another and all are thought to be empty although there have been some weird sightings on the northeast corner of the island. We shall see.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)

Northern Sumatra - Malaya
I have been moving down the coast and NJP is again retreating. I would be worried but I have 1100+ av at Sabang including most of the paratroops, 600 AV at the base in between and plenty of supply at Medan if he managed to cut me off.
I am hesitant to invest too much in Malaya before getting ready to set off the Kamakazi's. Right now I am pivoting my forces toward the Pacific, and Phillipines. Once I isolate Palembang it seems like the peninsula of Malaya is useless to the Japanese.
Within 3 months I would like to do a deep sustained strike to the coast of China hopefully with millions of tons of supply. That would certainly hasten the end of the Japanese war machine.
Don't let the threat of kamikazes stop you from pursuing good targets. They are a bothersome threat but just like Japan in real life, he won't be able to win the war with them. I would gladly trade the threat of kamis for Singapore-a critical port for the Allies to own.

Why do you feel Singapore is critical? I am interested because as I am encroaching upon Palembang and will have it isolated within a month. I look at the map and do not see Singapore as that important a target. In fact, I hope he is piling up thousands of troops there.
Singora just accidentally went over to the Allies the last few turns. Ooops... Hopefully that doesnt trigger the Kamakazi's.
Also, if you look closely at the map it is possible to take Singapore and I believe at least one base to the northeast without triggering the Kamakazi's.
My current plan centers on isolating Singapore while landing on the coast of China in an attempt to supply them. This IMO may help more with AV by having them push the Japanese around the mainland. It will also burn Japanese supply fighting back. I am looking at that island with 2 bases, the clear one on the north side. Maybe 2-3 months, maybe sooner depending upon what happens in Thailand.
I just grabbed Puerta Princessa plus 3 other islands which should allow me to isolate 1/2 of the remaining trade route to Japan.
Any suggestions on late game set up would be appreciated. Currently my plan is to pivot and head directly for Japan through the islands such as guam but also through the phillipines. I am encouraged by what I have found but expect an iron ring inside the Kamakazi circle. FYI, I am not worried about the Kami's, just want to be in a position to exploit the advance when it has to happen. I have struggled with this wondering if I should not pay attention to the rule as the Allies didnt know it would happen in real life.
However, it is a game and each side has advantages and disadvantages. So, I may already have troops landed on Luzon before I trigger the Kami's. Who knows??
Edit: There is a base Pakhoi? I believe in China where you can land without triggering the Kamakazi's. I am not going to exploit this because it is an obvious exploit. By the time I hit the coast of China planes will be happily driving into the sides of my horrified naval ships.
Again, suggestions are appreciated as I head for the finish line in this game.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Apparently, Singora transferring over to the allies did activate Kamakazi's so that is a moot point. Kudo's to NJP to give me a heads up.
I cant complain. It is not like he is getting them a year early.
Here is an intense little naval battle just outside Palembang.
NJP just sunk one of my heavy cruisers by putting 3 torpedoes into her. I return the favor by putting 5 torpedoes consecutively into the side of Takao. The ship acts predictably... Gotta love them fletchers!!

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Singapore is important as it is one of the only large shipyards. It also commands a strategically important strait, which isn't modeled as well in the game, but there it is.
The shipyard thing is the biggest impact. It's the only yard, in Asia, south of Hong Kong that can (from game's start) accommodate a capital ship. Many people expand Manila or Soerabaja... you'll be able to tell without recon over a base if your opponent has done so: simply mouseover the base and check the shipyard size. Industry always appears (1) larger than it is in actuality - this seems to be a display "bug". So if it says "Repair Shipyard (11)", you can rest assured that it's a size 10 yard.
Singapore starts at 50. Soerabaja starts at 8 or 10. Manila starts around 20? Hong Kong also starts at 50, I believe. And that's it, outside of Japan (/Shanghai?) or your respective Allied home ports. Which makes it hugely important as a place of repair for ships damaged by kamikazes, etc. Of course, it doesn't do you much good to have Singapore if you can't get a damaged ship there from off the coast of Luzon, but from your western thrust it would be invaluable, I'd think.
