Pacific at War v.3.63 Jorge Allied Larry Japs

Post by larryfulkerson »

I don't have enough monster games going yet so Jorge volunteered to play me in a game of PAW and I'm the Japs and Jorge is the Allies and I've already started the game. I'm doing CSV moves as a priority since the turns are short. And then comes the FITE moves since Ian and I started that game next in the line of games. And then PAW that has just started. I figure I can do about two turns per week of each game. That's my goal. I hope nobody is in a hurry.

I used a subchaser to go around looking for open ports and I found one at Laoog and moved some troops there: the Kanno Rgt, the Tanaka Rgt, and the 65th Independent Brigade. They have spread out on the PI and I need more landings yet; some on the east side of the PI.

I found some more open ports so I invaded with some more troops and I'm getting ashore and spreading out and taking up good positions to defend. Just in case Jorge gets adventuresome.

Here's what's going on in the south of China right now. I've got troops marching north along the roads and rails to get to the cities they lead to. Supply levels are low already.

I didn't bring enough ships to my mission to clear Manila's harbor. I evaporated the Ft. Drum CD guns unit on Corregidor but it cost me a CA and some damage to other boats in the group. And I still have to face what Allied ships are in the harbor. I see what appears to be a CA group and perhaps a CL or DD group and I've got two BB's so that ought to do it. But that's what I said about Ft Drum too. It doesn't bode well.

Okay, I scooted further into the harbor and my BB's, with a range of 3 didn't fire until I was 2 hexes away so that means the Allied ships shot first and my counter volley sank both of them. They got some hits on one or more DD's but I think I may have some replacements for that. There may be more ships to sink yet. I need to drive closer to the Manila hex.

Here's the results of the three-dot Pearl Harbor Strike, and as you can see there were only 4 BB's in that hex and there must be another hex that has the rest of his capital ships and now I need to decide if I want to do another Pearl Strike or not. I'm going to have to think about that. The air shock would still apply. No Allied aircraft flew....does that mean they are all on "rest" or bad weather over the runway or low morale and failed a check or something.

I did an three-dot amphibious assault on Lingayen and forced my way ashore so that I'm cutting off the retreat of a Phillippine division I believe it is. I'm pretty sure I'm sitting on a supply source now but I could be wrong. I need to get Manila soonest so I'm planning on taking the entire division with me for that task.

Larry it looks like there were 8 BBs there, 2 of each class. Or am I reading it wrong?

That's entirely possible, but I didn't check out the enemy units very much so I don't have any proof one way or the other.
I know that some of the CV's have two CV's in the unit to hold the fighters and the bombers both simultaneously. But whether or not the BB's were pairs too I'm not sure. I'll have to check that out and get back to you.

Larry are you going to apply the rule that your carriers need to return to Japan after the Pearl Harbor strike?

This is the Hanoi area right now. I don't intend to go much further north in this area because there's so few roads and

rails. No way to supply my units out in the middle of the jungle. I'm going to try to work my way up the road next to the

river and see if I can't cut off the flow of supply coming from India.

I've gotten a unit up to the bridge NNE of Kwellin and I dropped it to impead the flow of Chinese headed this way

from Mongolia via the rails. I'm surprised they aren't here already. I can repair the bridge later, when I need

it, but right now I need it dropped. I can see the need for more troops in this area.

The 6th Infantry Division has the mission of protecting and repairing the section of rail that passes from the north

bridge to the south bridge. Others are responsible for the rest of the rails. So the 6th div elements on the west side

bridge are trying to eject the communists from the bridge itself so that the Japs can place their man on the bridge and

repair it in case the commies blow the bridge anytime soon. I'm going to need some CS for this job I believe. I'll fly

some more planes in and dedicate them to this mission.

Here's what the Phillippines looks like now. I've cornered some partisans in the north country and the group near

Legaspi haven't been moved yet; I'm hoping to get one of them to the RR heading north from Legaspi to block it. I

need some people to land in the south of the island to stop migration of targets. Grab all the ports, that's my goal.

I sent the HQ unit on ahead of the armor just for a lark, just to be risky, and I captured Palembang without a

fight. I'm guessing it was never garrisoned. I've got a division working on Balikpapan even as we speak. I drove

by Tarakan but there were no open ports. I've got some Allied company near Singapore in the form of a "Heavy Naval"

unit sitting in the water. I've got to dispatch one or more of my BB's to go check that out.

I was driving my subchaser around Sumatra converting open ports and I noticed some Commonwealth ships to my west,

sorties from Ceylon I guess. I've got to rid myself of that threat to my landings at Jakarta by driving some

carriers out there and sinking those ships. Either that or some exciting drama with surface ships. I've got some

Bettys at Bangkok that probably has them within range already and I can probably get rid of them without any

major intervention needed.
