Pacific Rim(job) [AAR] ITAK_Linus (ASIA UNITA) vs Kaiser85 (Alleati)

Beh, l'idea e' precisamente che la nazione che sta venendo sopraffatta invii le truppe che erano in quel momento in altri teatri per salvare baracca e burattini.

 

DICIANNOVEMARZOMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTOQUATTRO
​

Turno decisivo per vari teatri. In NZ catturo Palmerston North senza problemi ed inizio a muovermi per l'isola. In E-Australia Alleato manda le truppe in avanti a NORD di Brisbane ma sono abbastanza coperto. In W-Australia niente di nuovo. Nelle DEI e nell'Arcipelago delle Filippine proseguo le operazioni di pulizia. In Birmania gli ex difensori di Rangoon finalmente si arrendono e do una bottarella anche a dei disperati a NORD. In Cina attraverso il fiume a EST di Chikhiang e sblocco la situazione, accerchiando definitivamente le truppe di Changsha: si parla di migliaia e migliaia di AV; non solo, inizio anche a dilagare a NORD di Chikhiang. Nel NOPAC non succede nulla e nel CENPAC Alleato bislaccamente manda delle BB a bombardare Marcus Island.
Situazione logistica SOPAC: sorprendentemente buona. Situazione logistica Australia: critica in W-Australia ma presto risolta. Situazione logistica DEI: ottima. Situazione logistica Burma: stabile. Situazione logistica Cina: ottima. Situazione logistica altrove: necessito di più sforzi nel NOPAC, che sto un po' trascurando.
Situazione industriale: a gonfie vele.

Anticipazione (Spoiler): ROBA

VENTUNOMARZOMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTOSEI​

In NZ approccio Wellington, che conto di investire fra pochi giorni; la cosa è ottima dato che è una base grande e utilissima.

In Eastern Australia sweeppo Sydney con qualche gruppo della KB ma ottengo risultati modesti, nonostante io devasti la CAP alleata. A Brisbane Alleato ha la 24th Infantry Division USArmy e 3 divisioni australiane a NORD di essa. Ubicazione delle rimanenti 3 divisioni australiane ignota: si presume fra Melbourne e Sydney.

In Western Australia approccio le ultime basi in mani alleate. A Truk avviene un mezzo disastro quando una TF di Alleato intercetta le mie TK veloci intente a scaricare benza e ne affonda ben sei senza apparentemente cozzare con le 360 mine di Truk medesima; il danno è grande, ma decisamente risolvibile già nel medio periodo dato che mi sono organizzato bene logisticamente.

Nelle Filippine catturo Cebu eliminando una divisione filippina e mi appresto a completare l'opera di cattura dell'area.

In Birmania tutto tace.

In Cina ho finalmente superato l'enpasse di Chkhiang sfondando sia a EST di essa che a SUD, a Kweilin; la posizione di Chikhiang è ora intenibile per Alleato e i 5-6000AV accerchiati in zona Changsha sono definitivamente tagliati fuori. Resta da capire se mi conviene o meno pulire la sacca prima di avanzare ulteriormente. Con circa 6,000AV in zona Changsha, però, mi sarà difficile sfondare in tempi ragionevoli, mentre allo stato attuale ho il nulla davanti a me.

Situazione logistica SOPAC: ottima ma la perdita delle petroliere è un guaio. Situazione logistica Australia: ottima. Situazione logistica DEI: ottima. Situazione logistica Burma: si può fare meglio quanto a SUPPLIES ma comunque ok. Situazione logistica Cina: regge, ma la cattura di Changsha e Chikhiang aiuterebbe.
Situazione industriale: ottima. Accelerato giusto oggi di un mese l'A6M5 ed i pool motori sono in netta crescita, consentendomi di avere il bonus in tempi ragionevoli. Ho deciso che mi farò il match con l'A6M5 fino all'A7M2 fra l'altro. Mi piacerebbe avere ASAP il nuovo Oscar, ma avrò da attendere un poco.

Presto il bonus sbarchi finisce e finalmente potrò iniziare a dispiegare le mie forze in modo più ragionevole e prudente. Siamo circa 2.7 : 1 ai punti e credo di poter arrivare al 4:1 agilmente prima di Giugno '42.

io però continuo ad essere contrario alla pratica di andare ad aprire il gioco dal lato nemico per conoscere dei dettagli che ritengo dovrebbero rimanere avvolti nella fog of war. Nello specifico, Io credo che il jappo non dovrebbe sapere dove, quando ed esattamente quanti siano i rinforzi NZ attivati dall'invasione della Nuova Zelanda. 1°: tu non ne hai bisogno, 2° ruba un po' di mistero e fascino dati dalla fog of war

 

1) non ci trovo niente di male
2) Alleato sa di default le medesime cose
3) Alleato sa di default che io prendo e non produco l'atomica o aerei super-moderni (gli alleati potevano immaginarlo ma non era mica na certezza, cosa che cambia tutto perche' chiaramente l'Alleato ha tutto l'interesse ad essere attendista all'estremo)
4) se accelero aerei, Alleato lo vede nella schermata informativa sui vari modelli, intelligence mica da nulla
5) Alleato sa perfettamente dove e come colpire a livello industriale il Giappone nel late game, mentre gli alleati storici ebbero le loro brave difficolta' ed andarono a tentativi; il fatto che molti Alleati siano incompetenti in materia perche' non conoscono l'industria giapponese non e' giustificazione


Sapere cosa e dove arriva e' anche relativamente accettabile da un punto di vista logico, visto che plausibilmente avrebbero scritto sui giornali qualcosa per calmare la popolazione. Per non parlare del fatto che le unita' in questione erano al fronte contro l'Asse e immagino Rommel si sarebbe accorto dell'assenza di qualche divisione alleata davanti a lui...

 

VENTIDUEMARZOMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTOSETTE
​

Continuo ad avanzare in NZ.
Sfondo un bel po' di DD alleati davanti a Sidney con gli incrociatori pesanti imperiali che fanno il vuoto come solito; ciò è un'ottima notizia visto che sono le ultime forze di superficie in mano ad Alleato nel settore. L'attacco aereo seguente su Sidney è un fallimento totale e perdo molti 2E IJNAF (modelli obsoleti e piloti addestrati in GroundBombing quindi superflui).
Niente di nuovo in Western Australia, ma immagino Alleato voglia fare qualcosa a breve.
Niente di nuovo nel Pacifico se non che Alleato ha rinforzato Wake. Qui ho da stare più attento: credo voglia fare una manovra bislacca a breve così come a Perth.
Proseguo la cattura delle isole dell'Arcipelago delle Filippine supportato da circa 150 Sally.
Catturo Lashio in Birmania.
Pauso i bombardamenti in Cina dato che non ci sono target utili, ma continuo ad avanzare a rotta di collo: il fronte cinese è sfondato credo e sopratutto il grosso dell'esercito cinese è accerchiato in zona Changsha.
Nel NOPAC tutto tace, ma Alleato ha rafforzato Kodiak qualche turno fa con dei genieri; la cosa non mi urta minimamente, ma devo monitorare la situazione.

Situazione logistica buona dovunque. Situazione industriale buona ma si può fare di meglio lato bomber 2E e produzione navale (attendo in gloria il varo delle prossime due CV, previsto fra pochissimo).
Un congruo numero di PP in pool e riserve strategiche ben posizionate sia nel NOPAC che nelle DEI. Il CENPAC fa (ancora) riferimento a Onshu finché non libero LCU dalla zona delle Filippine.
Forts e infrastrutture varie in crescita dovunque; sento la mancanza di genieri, piaga che accompagna il Giappone fino al '45, ma posso appunto farci poco nulla. Presto formerò le prime due divisioni tank.

per dirti. adesso sto facendo un tristissimo scenario delle marianne contro la AI: non so cos'ha nelle basi, non so cosa gli arriva, non so l'esperienza dei suoi piloti, nada de nada. Ieri mi sono trovato yamato e musashi a breve distanza dalle mie TF (che brutta fine che hanno fatto..., le due BB intendo), ma non avevo neanche idea che lo scenario le prevedesse.

i punti che elenchi tu cadono tutti se l'alleato (io) non vado a ficcare il naso dal lato jappo. e infine: i giornali avranno sicuramente riportato che vista l'aggressione al suolo patrio erano state richiamate le divisioni dal nordafrica, ma certo non riportavano (anche per segreto militare: il nemico ci ascolta!) la composizione esatta, in che porto sarebbero arrivate e quando, fino a indicare quanti aerei e quanti bren sarebbero tornati.

ma se tu e il tuo avversario non avete nulla in contrario e non ci vedete nulla di male, va benissimo. quando Tim dava dimostrazione di conoscere meglio di me il setup alleato mi dava fastidio, e l'ho accennato. Certo, dopo 6 mesi non gli era più molto utile, ma soprattutto all'inizio è un bell'aiuto: mandare a conquistare la tal base l'esatto numero di AV necessario senza sovrabbondare ti permette di razionalizzare le conquiste. chiaramente per uno come te che ha cominciato la GC 47 volte il setup alleato non è più un mistero.

 

A) Gli scenari sono un poco differenti per via del limitato spazio e tempo
B) i giapponesi sapevano perfettamente chi era dove al 7 Dicembre in termini di truppe (e, parzialmente, aerei). Meno in fatto di navi, ma sapevano le navi presenti nei vari teatri: p.ex. sapevano che c'era il CL tal-dei-tali nelle DEI ma non sapevano se era a Soerabaja o a Batavia.
C) il poter vedere quali rinforzi d'emergenza arrivano e dove e' un poco forzato ma tant'e'.
D) puoi giocare coi rinforzi variabili se vuoi e cosi non sai mai quando arriva precisamente la CV tal-dei-tali


In sostanza, se tu vuoi giocare senza vedere dall'altro lato va benissimo, ma credo tu sia l'unico a farlo. Chiunque guarda l'altro lato ed agisce di conseguenza e non c'e' niente di male a farlo secondo me.
Il cinese maledetto aveva ragione a guardare il setup alleato secondo me ed e' anche molto realistico se ci pensi: i giapponesi avevano passato anni e anni a studiare appunto la disposizione alleata e sapevano chi era dove meglio che gli sfigati all'HQ ABDA.

Per me, se ti disturba che uno guardi l'altro lato prendi e giochi coi rinforzi variabili. Il setup iniziale e' conosciuto ed e' realistico lo sia (paradossalmente, gli alleati hanno informazioni che quelli storici non avevano). I rinforzi sono variabili e quindi non puoi sapere precisamente quando la nave A arriva o la B se ne va. I rinforzi di emergenza sono noti e non puoi cambiare la cosa ma tant'e': se si attivano hai ben altri problemi da gestire che la conoscenza giapponese della loro entita'.

Alleato per contro ha un'intelligence immensa potendo vedere le date di arrivo previste degli aerei giapponesi. In capo a pochi mesi puo' farsi un'idea chiarissima di cosa ha organizzato il giapponese in termini industriali.
Esempio: vedi che il buon A6M* non avanza (molto) come data finale e ti fai l'idea che il giapponese voglia saltare a pie' pari la linea A6M ed andare dritto per dritto all'A7M2 Sam e, plausibilmente, avere un late game piu' tranquillo. Il che implica il dover premere come un matto nel '43 e nella prima meta' del '44 per sfruttare il vantaggio relativo che va a sparire quando arriva il Sam. Ugualmente, se vedi che il buon Judy non avanza a grandi falcate, significa che il giapponese si sta lanciando sul Grace e valgono le considerazioni di cui sopra.
Vedi che Oscar-IV e Tojo-IV avanzano veloci? Molte fabbriche R&D su di essi e plausibilmente meno su aerei late game: significa che una politica un poco piu' attendista da parte alleata e' magari saggia visto che Frank-R e compagnia cantante arriveranno relativamente tardi. Vedi che Oscar/Tojo/Tony non avanzano? Il giapponese e' andato giu' violento su aerei late game ed e' quindi meglio premere piu' che si puo' finche' si puo' perche' se uno ti si palesa con il KI-94-II a meta' 1944 sono cazzi da cagare.

​

In NZ continuo ad avanzare rapido e senza troppi interventi alleati.
In Eastern Australia mi appresto ad investire l'importante base di Townsville ma ottengo risultati deludenti nei cieli di Sydney, dove la mia caccia spazza via quella alleata ma i bomber falliscono l'affondo.
In Western Australia tutto tace.
Nelle DEI&co proseguo rapido l'avanzata nell'Arcipelago delle Filippine e sono gia' all'assalto di Mindanao.
In Burma tutto grossomodo tace e semplicemente inseguo sbandati in giro mentre preparo le mie infrastrutture.
In Cina niente di nuovo.
Nel NOPAC niente di nuovo.
Nel Pacifico piu' profondo avviene un altro sbarco bizzarro di Alleato con un gruppo di raiders a Baker Island. Il primo turno reggo e credo di poterli ricacciare in mare dato che mi sa hanno piu' poche squadre non disabled.

Situazione logistica: ottima dovunque tranne che nell'Arcipelago delle Filippine, dove ho deciso di andare decisamente corto per non appesantire la mia rete, speriamo di aver fatto bene i conti.
Situazione industriale: non ho avuto tempo di controllare.

​

Turno estremamente interlocutorio.

In NZ proseguo l'avanzata indisturbato.
In Eastern Australia i miei Betty/Nell falliscono per il secondo giorno di fila l'attacco su un gruppo di navi alleate a EST di Rockhampton. Raggiungo Townsville.
In Western Australia Alleato manda un fracco di tank a Kargoolie, importante terminal ferroviario, e respinge la mia povera LCU di ARM in loco. Non capisco bene la logica di Alleato nel buttare sempre tutto avanti, ma tant'e'.
Nelle DEI continuo gli assalti nell'Arcipelago delle Filippine ed oramai restano piu' poche basi in mani alleate; atteso lo scontro finale a Mindanao.
In Birmania tutto tace mentre proseguo la costruzione di infrastrutture varie.
In Cina mi appresto ad assaltare Liuchow e pare Alleato si stia disimpegnando in alcune aree intorno a Chikhiang. Il Teatro e' vinto da un po' e sono molto soddisfatto di come stanno andando le cose.
Nel NOPAC niente di nuovo.
Nel CENPAC niente di nuovo ed e' confirmato abbia rafforzato Wake.
A Baker Island respingo il secondo shock attack alleato che ottiene un miserando 1:3; credo i poveretti si arrendano domani, ma mi dispiace non aver affondato i due APD dato che credo Alleato non ne abbia creati molti e ce n'e' sempre un bisogno enorme da parte alleata. Inoltre, ha perso un fracco di AK e AP, cosa che riduce notevolmente le sue capacita' anfibie.
