New AAR : Multi-turn 3day Long Campaign

Post by Nikademus »

Well Timjot asked, and he shall receive-th.

Same spiel as Luskan said a while back......no flaming please.....this remains Alpha, and more importantly yet, is an extreme test of using multiple day turns that many have asked about, and that i've been curious about myself for a while.

While i'd never do anything but daily turns for solo play or a situation where i could get in alot of turns quickly or regularily, it has to be acknowledged that there are many people out there (like myself) who will be pretty much doing 1 turn a day on average and thus, to play a full game with the luxery of having a non-brain dead AI as an opponent for the LOOONG campaign could litterally take close to as long as the real thing!!!!!

Thus, this test. Realistically i'd probably never advertise for more than 2 day turns as some do with UV PBEM, but just for the sake of curiosity i opted to push my luck (and the game engine) by going for 3 day turns.

My esteemed comrade in arms, Pry agreed to be the 2nd participant in this little test inspite of thinking that multi-day turns are seriously Yukko. He will play the wicked, imperialistic baddies, while I will play Will Rogers and Trigger.

Hold on to your ponchos......

Conditions/house rules

1.) suprise on
2) IJN sub doctrine off
3) Japan player will not attack Manila or Singapore harbor until 12/10 (turn 2)
4) No movement/orders by Allied player.....(its a suprise attack after all)

*****

Initial observations on multi-play

1.

2. As Pry warned me after giving me turn 1, WOW......the knowledge that i would not be able to INSTO-respond to his movements allowed him to be much more bold and ambitious with his plans.....the result is what i call a rendition of the "Octopus strategem" where the player on the offensive strikes out with multiple and long tendles striking numerous important and not so important targets. Targets that a per-day turn player might save for a "2nd opeational phase" once closer targets are occupied were attacked, the most signifigant being Sumatra, Celebes (Kendari and ) and targets on northern and eastern Borneo, in addition to the usual landings at the PI and Malaya.

3. A bit of a downer to see him having no less than 3 days to land troops before i can even order them to attack.....not that it would have made any difference here, but with more powerful forces it could prove cruicial in 'some' battles.

Overall it was a bit of a wierd experience....the game felt like a hybrid of UV and PacWar. Very strange feelings of Deja Vu. It did give me a nice feeling of paralysis though.....the same feeling i'm sure went through the minds of almost every Allied General and Admiral during those three days.

Impressions now that i'm able to DO something.

well it's not nearly as BAD as i thought it would be.....as related in another thread, in some ways it felt 'more' historical because of the limitations imposed on how quickly i could react and the reduced degree of "micro-management" that i could indulge in. I actually found myself having to be far more conservative with my forces and to plan ahead vs just "react". I actually found myself using "retirement allowed" and "commander's discretion" vs the usual total control options and specific targets i usually use in 1 day turns.

More amusing is that FOW incidents and hiccups occur. Case in point the little carrier raid on the Wake Is invasion force. Managed to damage my first IJN cruiser right away and badly damage a DD. YEAH for US!!!! [:D]

This turn showed that, while much more risky and difficult, one can still make a Japan player pay a bit for employing the "Octopus strategem", a cruiser force led by the CA Houston blasted Pry's unguarded transports at Tarakan something good. Looks like he also forgot about the Dragon and Durban sitting in Palembang harbor....they managed to create some higgidy piggidy while retreating towards Java.

Overall i'm just thrilled right now to actually be six days into the war after only two PBEM exchanges........then again i'm on the defensive.....I dont think Pry is liking things as much.

**

strategem:

what strategem.....who do you think i am? MOGAMI? dont have no stinkin 18 HOURS to plot every turn......sheesh thats the whole point here! I dont have time.....besides, planning is over-rated......its all about instinct.

yeah right....actually i'm suffering from SIZE SHOCK. Been spending alot of time testing aspects and playtesting the smaller scenerios with their smaller maps. Going from that to the whole Pacific theater was almost like seeing the game for the first time again. With no staff to help me and Mogami not returning my calls, i'm left to go "HAMMINA HAMMINA HAMMINA" as i scroll from the hinterlands of New Zealand, to the vast emptyness of Oz to Pearl Harbor and the west coast, then all the way across the Pacific to Burma as i try to marshall what little forces i have. Combined with multiple day turns, the huge map is giving me a serious case of the "what the hell do i defend" blues. Right now it feels like Pry could show up anywhere, anytime....so many targets, so little time....(and so little forces!)

As such i'm being very conservative. First priority is to defend Hawaii. Pry's dastardly attack has left my defense there seriously weakened. Couldn't rule out the possibility of a return visit from his carriers so i've set up some sub pickets that will hopefully give me a heads up if anything comes up. My carriers will play it safe too for the most part and will remain around ........ yeah right Pry, like i'm going to make it that easy for you [:D]

PI defense will be pretty much my standard fare.....me and Pry have been doing alot of ASW testing as it is.....we'll see again how much damage my Asiatic fleet subs can do to his forces.

other than that it's the typical scramble to evacuate some key air units and try to organize some semblence of a forward defence and maybe prepare a suprise or two.

The multi-turns make this both easy and hard of course......another facet it forces me to make use of will be 'reaction' by home based surface TF's The hard part is trying to pre-guess Pry's moves while hiding my own. That will be difficult given he's already taken several key positions southward in the SRA. The airfields there will provide him with the means to implement an air blockade cutting off the way to the PI's.

A good turn for me in some ways, that is if you ignore the steamroller that is Pry's land offensive. Have lost numerous bases but in compensation have had some small successes at sea to make me feel better. The poor S-36 has been avenged two fold! Figured Pry would be lurking close around PH, so i've been implementing very aggressive ASW measures and struck paydirt, my planes had spotted several lurking around, and this probably helped the extremely heavy escort i attached to an outbound TF from Pearl to sight and hunt down the I-25. West of Oahu another TF bagged I-157 when it crossed their path. That helps make up for the suprising bad luck i've had so far with my own subs....in addition to losing S-36, have had 3 other subs limp back to Manila with light to moderate damage.

Alas, thats about the only good news, other than confirming another transport sunk during my counter-attack of Pry's initial thrusts. 5 merchants confirmed thus far. Negligable losses really but I figure every merchant lost has to hurt Japan in the end.

Overall i'm thrilled to be on 12/15 so soon. I do like the accelerated pace. Then again i'm on the defensive and dont have much to do. A frustration that has been revealed is that if an LCU attacks and gets O-1 odds, it ceaces to attack and goes to bombardment. in one day turns thats not an issue, you can reset. In 3 day turns though, it causes delays and is giving Pry fits. Interestingly enough.....it almost makes the pace of land combat feel better.

we discovered a bug here, that only appears in multi-turn play. I've been evacuating some bases in favor of a southern defence for Malaya, as i evacuated the bases however....they changed ownership on us!!!!!

thats why it looks like Pry is doing very well in terms of the advance.

as mentioned, the multi aspect of the turns has made Pry be much bolder in his attempts to quickly expand the reaches of the Empire.......definate shades of PacWar here. During a regular 1 day turn test....i was better able to chase around those little TF's with DD's and subs [:D]

here's the tally so far. I've made up for the loss of my poor old S boat but of course the Maryland puts Pry a good deal ahead on ship points

Just out of Curisoity, What fired the MK 15, you have a US DD in the area?

How do the OldS-Boats fair in WiTP are they easer to sink than in UV?

Kate, was using the 800KG bomb, huh... they get many hits on average with them, and what height do they go in at?

The Tarakan raid was a USN sponsored raid led by the CA Houston.

"Kates" when attacking ports use a combination of 800kg AP and torpedoes.
The height is chosen by the player same as with level bombers. Dive bombers will always be reported as attacking at 2000 feet (coming out of their dives) and torpedo attack is conducted at 200 feet.

*****

Hard trio of days for the Allies. Pry's Southern anchor strategy is starting to pay off big time. With his twin pillars of Ambonia and Kendari now stocked with G4M Datai, he has set up a virtual "Line of Death" that Khadafi wishes he had had back in the 1980's. His planes have blasted several transports fleeing the area and are making the prospect of slipping warships and merchants through this area to the beleagured PI's a very risky proposition. In addtion to this sad story, a group of merchants that i unwisely let plot a course through imperial waters on their way to San Fran got beset by major air elements which blew all of them out of the water. Nice free target practice i gave Pry there.
Balanced against this though was the successful evacuation of almost all of the merchants, support ships and the ex-CV Langley (first time i've managed to get her out!) from Manila harbor down-south to Oz waters.

Hong Kong continues to hold out though the squeeze is tightening steadily in the face of Pry's deliberate attacks. Fort level is down to 4 as my forces are slowly compressed back upon the city. Attempted to damage the captured oil fields at Palembang with my air assets out of Batavia but only managed to hit some trees and ace some manpower points. Indications are that Japanese airpower is massing at the fields captured there. This does not bode well for my forces on Java.

NEENER NEENER PRY!!!!.......you MISSED !!!!
Sister Saratoga skirts yet another Iboat attack, this time from the I-1. Memo to self.....its time to go fishing off Oahu......today's catch will be....roast Iboat!

The 81st PA militia division, in spite of barely knowing which way to point the their rifles, continues to hold off with suprisingly tenancity, Japanese attacks on Cebu Island. Looks like the failed landing at Medan was evacuated as well. Small comfort as Pry's offensive down the Malayan peninsuala continues and the advance in Burma continues. Commonwealth forces are busy setting up fortifications somewhere in the interior.

What is this???:

"Manpower hits 6 "




Were those shell Hit's on the subs because they were on the surface or from depth charges?

Are Japanese ships a bit better at asw?

One of the resources needed to run heavy industry is manpower.

All hits on submarines are listed as shell hits. (depth charge and gunfire) So if the sub is 200 feet down and hit by 3 DC the report reads "3 shell hits"

Japanese ASW is less then 50 percent of Allied ASW but even then they can still score hits and sink enemy submarines. The Japanese need to escort their TF's twice as much as the USN to protect them the same.

"Manpower" is a part of WitP's production routine. It's responsible for producing troops (home areas only of course), and bodies to work the factories. Additionally there are resource, oil, shipyard, armaments, and heavy industry centers. (+ aircraft factories)

depth charge hits are listed in combat reports as "shell hits" A little confusing i know but its been that way since UV. If bereft of the combat replay, one can find the weapon of origin (if the unit sinks) by checking the ships sunk section.

Japanese ASW is as Mog said, 50% or so of Allied ASW. we are still tweaking the exacts and are trying to account for differences in terrain (i.e. shallow hexes, vs deep water.....very important!)

So far as Allied, Pry has done fairly well against me as i've been purposely pressing the issue of shallow water/base attacks

TY for answering, I realy like reading these reports they are very informative, I take it manpower is hard to replace in the short term?


I am glad to hear that the finer points of ASW are being looked at I know in UV the ASW differances are crazy, and that atacking anything with a Japaese sub that has escort is mostly a sucide sortie in that game, hopefully this will be a bit different in WiTP.

Battle of the subs

Post by Nikademus »

Score so far:

Japan: 2
Allied: 3

Looking just at the numbers it looks like Japan is being very competetive but here the statistics are deceptive. Both of my losses were encurred in shallow water hexes. The first was an outright loss. (S-36), the 2nd one survived but had 88% FLT damage. Rather than risk a trip to the nearest base i opted to scuttle the Triton......she encurred her damage sitting in the Wake Is hex. Additionally i have had 3-4 other boats damaged by shallow water depth charge attacks.

2 of the 3 IJN sub losses were encurred in deeper water hexes. It can be very dangerous for Iboats to be attacked by TF's that have half a dozen or more DD's right now.

A thing to remember too is that Pry is being VERY dilligent about his ASW defences, unlike the historical afair. He's using alot of escorts and putting air assets on ASW as well.

After 5 very long weeks of in depth ASW tests against you and your subs, Very Diligent might be considered a bit of a under statement it's more of a fanatical obsession.

Nikademus: Could one of the programmers maybe add in a little check to see whether the
sub is hit while it's on the surface or submerged, and if submerged, list those as "depth charge hits"?

It would be a lot of fun to see in the combat report whether the enemy was able to detect the sub under water
and the crew had to endure a depth charge attack or whether they were shooting it out on the
surface with the deck gun when hit. :)
