    Ho sbagliato. Le truppe erano sulle xAK da tempo immemorabile e non è cosa buona per gli sbarchi visto che accumulano fatigue e disruption.

    Ho preferito reimbarcarmi e amen. Wake non è un gran problema ed è meglio far rientrare le truppe e farle riposare.

    Avrei dovuto fare uno sbarco un po' più organizzato con l'usuale pletora di BB/CA in bombardamento e copertura aerea dopo aver fatto sbarcare le truppe a Truk, averle fatte riposare e poi averle reimbarcate.


    Considera anche che per me è uno sbarco decisamente secondario e quindi non è che ci abbia posto tutta 'sta attenzione come avrei dovuto fossi stato più diligente.
    Col fatto che ho supremazia navale incontrastata per almeno un anno e mezzo, credo di tempo per Wake ce ne sarà poi.


    Conta infine che avevo negli ultimi turni una "to do list" infinita ed ho ancora 75 robe da fare... Mi son distratto un poco:

    Il CA Pensacola finalmente si inabissa. B-17 segati a Brisbane. Raggiungo gli ex difensori di Rangoon coi Thai per far loro guadagnare esperienza. Avanguardie ad un hex da Perth semi-deserta. Altro deliberate a Chikhiang con forts ridotti al lvl1 e truppe adesso pronte per la turnazione dopo pesanti perdite. Dimenticato i tizi a Dutch Harbor in deliberate e soffrono altre casualties. Grande riorganizzazione logistica dappertutto.

    Turno interlocutorio. Altri danni ai CL di Brisbane, che però è stata (finalmente!) evacuata da Alleato. Attraverso il fiume a SUD-OVEST di Rangoon e la 1st Thai Division si becca molti disablements, salendo però tantissimo di exp come voluto. Sbarco a Rarotonga, qualche hex a OVEST di Thaiti. Colpisco il naviglio a Darwin da Timor. Grande flusso di matériel dovunque e situazione logistica nel SOPAC in netto miglioramento. Situazione logistica in Burma eccelsa. Situazione logistica in Cina orripilante per ancora un paio di turni. Situazione logistica nel NOPAC sotto controllo.

    Affondo un ottimo CL americano a SUD di Brisbane. Alleato ha dato il turno precedente il comando scuttle ad almeno 3 incrociatori a Brisbane medesima (credo due CL ed un CA). In Burma do un altro colpetto agli ex difensori di Rangoon ma l'exp non sale molto. AA in Cina del tutto silente, che abbiano finito completamente le supplies? In 3-4 turni catturo Perth, altra vagonata di punti ed ottima posizione geografica.
    Situazione logistica in Cina: complessa. Situazione logistica in Burma: sorprendentemente ottima. Situazione logistica nel SOPAC: in fase di risoluzione. Situazione logistica in altri settori: buona.

    Brisbane completamente evacuata; pare abbia dato il comando scuttle al naviglio residuo in loco. Perth ufficialmente tagliata fuori dal resto dell'Australia. Nelle DEI tutto procede bene contro le ultime basi in mani alleate. In Cina altro assalto a Chikhiang che regge bene, nonostante l'assenza di supplies; credo sarà necessaria una terza turnazione delle truppe dopo un paio di altri attacchi. Situazione logistica florida dovunque ma nel SOPAC potrei aver portato troppa poca benza rispetto ai miei bisogni: altri cinque giorni di attesa prima che il convoglio successivo arrivi. Situazione industriale: ottima, tutto procede velocemente e la R&D mi sta dando grandi gioie.

    Turno interlocutorio. Nel SOPAC non succede nulla. Nel CENPAC nemmeno. Nel NOPAC figuriamoci. Nelle DEI sbarco nelle ultime basi dove c'è resistenza nemica (le altre saranno gestite dai parà). Approccio Mindanao. Altro colpo agli ex difensori di Rangoon. Assalto fallimentare a Chikhiang dove speravo di avere 1:2 e tirar giù l'ultimo livello di forts.
    Situazione logistica nel SOPAC: eccelsa; nonostante i timori del turno precedente, pare io abbia calcolato bene i consumi a suo tempo e non abbia bisogno di aspettare il secondo convoglio di TK/AO. Situazione logistica DEI: buona, ma mancano supplies. Situazione logistica CBI: eccellente. Situazione industriale: ampliate ulteriormente le fabbriche di Nell in previsione del nuovo modello a Maggio '42; sarà perso in milioni di esemplari e continuerà a servire l'IJN fino a fine guerra. Pool veicoli sorprendentemente buono. Upgrade a varie JAAF Base Force iniziato, così da dar loro il primo della lunga serie di radar imperiali; le prime JAAF BF ad essere equipaggiate sono in Burma e poi a cascata farò l'upgrade al resto mandando un CommandHQ in giro per la mappa appositamente.

    Catturo Perth senza spargimenti di sangue mentre avanzo a rotta di collo nell'area. Elimino alcuni dei pochi fighter alleati in Australia con una LRCAP di A6M2-Zero. Campagna birmana prosegue bene. Deliberate a Chikhiang buono ma si può fare di meglio.
    Situazione logistica australiana: ottima. Situazione logistica SOPAC: ottima. Situazione logistica DEI: molto male per le SUPPLIES ma si migliora velocemente. Situazione logistica Burma: complessivamente accettabile nonostante siano necessarie espansioni di varie basi. Situazione logistica Cina: di nuovo buona.

    Turno molto interlocutorio. Scopro che bizzarramente c'è il CL Adelaide a SUD di Mindanao e colpisco con una TB di passaggio un piccolo convoglio alleato che, iddio solo sa perché, cerca di controsbarcare a Geraldton. Catturo altre località chiave in Australia e mi avvicino pericolosamente a Townsville (che pare praticamente indifesa) e Brisbane, dove spero Alleato ammassi truppe a volontà.
    Situazione logistica nel SOPAC: eccellente per la prima volta da inizio campagna. Situazione logistica WEST-Australia: orrenda ma non sono previsti combattimenti. Situazione logistica EAST-Australia: ottima. Situazione logistica Burma: molto bene a SUD, male in Burma centrale. Situazione logistica in Cina: ottima. Situazione logistica DEI: in fase di risoluzione.
    Situazione industriale: buona, ma devo ridurre le perdite di 2E. Fermata la produzione di molti aerei dei quali inizio ad avere pool troppo grandi tipo gli A6M2-Zero.

    Turno estremamente interlocutorio come quello precedente. Pausa dei combattimenti in Cina. In zona Perth proseguo le operazioni di pulizia contro le ultime LCU alleate rimaste in giro. Avanzo in Australia orientale. Movimenti confusi a SUD di Mindanao dove il CL Adelaide è difficile da inquadrare e affondare per le mie numerosissime TF in zona. Sbarchi ulteriori nelle DEI. Bombardamento usuale di Darwin. Colpetto ulteriore agli ex difensori di Rangoon, da tempo senza SUPPLIES. Primo assalto a Magwe che verrà giù in pochi turni. Alleato bislaccamente rinforza Dutch Harbor nelle Aleutine, cosa più che benvenuta per il sottoscritto.
    Situazione logistica in CBI: mediocre in Burma centrale, ma sto mandando un CommandHQ da Rangoon a Magwe così da drenare 25,000ton di SUPPLIES. Situazione logistica in Australia: mediocre in zona Perth. Situazione logistica SOPAC: eccelsa. Situazione logistica DEI: in netto miglioramento ogni turno e ho finito di portare air support a Clark Field per la campagna su Mindanao ed altre isole delle Filippine, che presumo siano senza SUPPLIES; un paio di centinaia di 2E saranno temporaneamente distaccati dalla Cina per dare supporto alle operazioni combinate di IJN e IJA contro gli ultimi rifugi alleati in zona.
    Situazione industriale: buona, ma devo definitivamente produrre più 2E del previsto; in un mese e mezzo varo un'altra CV (non accelerata) e mi si liberano NavShipyardsPoints. Attendo in gloria Giugno, quando potrò convertire le STD-... in TK: allo stato attuale sono un poco a corto di TK e, sebbene sia prestissimo per i miei standard (Giugno-Luglio), ho deciso di iniziare a spedire benza a Onshu ad Aprile.

    NOTA DI SERVIZIO: plausibilmente il match subirà qualche rallentamento causa mia. Oggi parto per l'Italia da Praga e lunedì parto per un paio di mesi ad Haiti quindi non so quanto riuscirò a giocare. Credo ben poco, ma dovrei, molto ottimisticamente, riuscire a fare un turno al giorno comunque.

    Ultime due settimane di bonus sbarchi, non che cambi molto anche dopo con le 4 CV USA affondate.
    Errore di settaggio dei Betty me ne fa perdere ben 11 sui cieli di Sidney, dove in compenso scopro quanta caccia è rimasta ad Alleato in Australia; piloti dei Betty decisamente sacrificabili (quelli buoni sono in pool dall'8 Dicembre 1941). Avanguardie arrivano alle porte di Brisbane. Colpisco nuovamente gli ex difensori di Perth ed un battaglione si arrende. Un MG Bn che aveva provato un controsbarco a Geraldton viene spazzato via. Bizzarramente Alleato manda 4 BB e 5 CA a bombardare Baker Island, dove manco ho NavS. In Birmania gli ex difensori di Rangoon sono oramai sul punto di crollare del tutto. Catturo Magwe pressoché intatta e, sopratutto, ho già in loco un fracco di AA e AirSupport. Il CL Adelaide fra Celebes e Makassar si rivela una difficile preda per le mie TF, cariche di uomini ed in FastTransport; comunque non è più una minaccia: è senza munizioni e credo Darwin non possa né riarmarlo a dovere né rifornirlo decentemente. Movimenti vari nelle DEI. In Cina do un paio di turni di tregua agli assalti a Chikhiang e continuo a bombardare un po' dovunque per tenere alta la disruption e far sprecare le oramai nulle munizioni dei tizi accerchiati a Changsha. A Dutch Harbour sembra Alleato non abbia portato altra roba dopo quella sbarcata ieri.
    Situazione logistica SOPAC: adesso ottima. Situazione logistica Eastern Australia: per ora molto buona. Situazione logistica Western Australia: male come sempre ma non mi mancano munizioni per le operazioni. Situazione logistica DEI: in fase di risoluzione. Situazione logistica Burma: credo migliorerà drasticamente a breve quando porterò il CommandHQ a Magwe. Situazione logistica Cina: ottima. Situazione logistica NOPAC: bene, ma devo prestarvi più attenzione e matériel.
    Situazione industriale: ottima, ma sono sempre assetato di DB e TB per l'IJNAF. IJAAF perennemente a corto di bomber 2E, ma va bene così: la produzione subirà un'impennata quando entrerà in linea l'Helen, bombardiere standard dell'IJAAF per eoni.

    Turno interessante. Nel SOPAC bombardo Auckland con la KB facendo pochi danni al naviglio in loco. Nel mentre in Eastern Australia colpisco con due siluri il CL Java che però parrebbe non affondato (non ho controllato se porta FP però). In Western Australia proseguo le manovre. Sbarchi vari nelle DEI dove inizio ad approcciare le isole minori dell'Arcipelago Filippino. Altro colpo agli ex difensori di Rangoon. In Cina riesco in un'ottima e promettente manovra.

    Primo turno Haitiano.
    Turno estremamente interlocutorio. In Australia orientale Alleato fa avanzare la 2ndAustralianDivision che mi pare assai a corto di rimpiazzi con solo 270AV sugli oltre 450 teorici. In Western Australia non succede nulla. Nelle DEI non succede molto. In Burma altro colpo agli ex difensori di Rangoon e finalmente arriva il Southern Command HQ a Magwe, sperando riesca a drenarvi supplies da Rangoon; avrò da ampliare Tuongoo con tutta probabilità. Ottimo posizionamento raggiunto in Cina.
    Situazione logistica: ottima dovunque. Situazione industriale: ottima.

    Sbarco in NZ con un congruo numero di truppe e gli attivo i rinforzi di emergenza. Alleato lancia in avanti ben tre divisioni di fanteria australiane a sbarrare la via per Brisbane; insieme fanno quasi 800AV contro i circa 1,350AV teorici e secondo me non è stato affatto diligente nel controllo dei pool. Vari aerei alleati abbattuti a SUD di Townsville, che spero di investire a breve. Continuano manovre del menga in zona Perth. Sbarco un po' dovunque nelle DEI. In Birmania colpisco varie colonne di sbandati mentre mi occupo di mettere in sicurezza le zone intorno ai punti più strategici. In Cina situazione tesa come sempre.
    Situazione logistica SOPAC: potrei fare meglio in campo SUPPLIES ma credo di avere anche troppa benza; interromperò il flusso di TK dalle DEI al SOPAC per qualche settimana almeno. Situazione logistica Eastern Australia: ottima. Situazione logistica Western Australia: sorprendentemente in caduta libera, credo di aver bisogno di un convoglio di dimensioni medie che finisca questa tarantella. Situazione logistica Burma: buona. Situazione logistica Cina: ottima.
    Situazione industriale: molto buona.

    Unita' attivate coi rinforzi di emergenza e commenti:
    51st Highlander Division Cape Town: dovrebbe essere una divisione di fanteria inglese. Coi pool striminziti di BritInfSquads che si ritrova, non credo possa aiutarlo molto.
    2nd Army Tank Brigade Canada: non conosco il TOE, ma se e' bravo a gestire i pool alleati puo' rompere veramente il cazzo. Non credo pero' che Alleato sia molto sul pezzo sulla parte gestionale.
    32nd Army Tank Brigade Aden: vedi sopra.
    4th New Zealand Brigade Aden: ottime brigate, ma col problema non indifferente dell'assenza di rimpiazzi di NZInfSquads. Il che implica un problema gigante nel loro utilizzo. Sono unita' one shot e forse nemmeno quello.
    5th New Zealand Brigade Aden: vedi sopra
    6th New Zealand Brigade Aden: vedi sopra
    2nd New Zealand Division Cavaly Regiment Cape Town: vedi sopra
    28th Maori Battalion Aden: non ho idea di cosa sia ma credo sia un battaglione di NZInfSquads.

    Il grosso dei rinforzi sono ad Aden e prendera' poco tempo prima che li faccia arrivare a Karachi e da li' in India. Poco male dato che ho messo in sicurezza Burma. I rinforzi a Cape Town prenderanno un poco di piu' ma niente di trascendentale.
    Dubito impieghi queste LCU in operazioni offensive dato che allo stato attuale (e per un anno e mezzo e passa) non puo' garantire alcuna copertura aerea. Per un'offensiva via terra in Burma mi pare messo assai male e quindi non vedo un problema nemmeno li'.




    Reinforcement Convoy:

    108 NZ Inf Section: 108 squadre di fanteria vanno via super veloci quindi niente di preoccupante.
    48 3" Mortar: i mortai sono sempre un guaio e dargliene ben 48 mi secca, ma poco male
    48 Bren AAMG (x2): device abbastanza inutili
    72 18 Pounder Gun: device magnifici dei quali c'e' sempre e comunque bisogno. Ben 72 in pool. Un brutto colpo per me.
    30 Beaverette: inutili a bestie e genti.
    24 Vickers Section: si e' sempre a corto di Vickers Section come Alleato ma sole 24 squadre non cambieranno il mondo
    240 Motorized Support: per questo momento del match Alleato dovrebbe aver grossomodo risolto mancanze al riguardo
    72 Valentine III: ottimi carri, del tutto impenetrabili per gran parte dei tank giapponesi. I valentine iniziano ad arrivare verso Giugno 1942 e sono eccellenti. Questi 72 maledetti saranno duri a morire.
    108 Brit Inf Section: brutta cosa ma non risolve assolutamente la gigantesca mancanza di BritInfSquads di Alleato nel '42.
    36 NZ Combat Engineer: utili ma cambia poco.
    12 PBY-5 Catalina: pochini e Alleato usa i suoi bomber/PA in missioni d'attacco invece che di NavS, manna dal cielo per me anche se perdo piu' mercantili del solito.
    36 SBD-3 Dauntless: non ha le CV quindi poca utilita'
    24 Hudson III (LR): non sono malaccio ma nemmeno niente di utile
    54 Kittyhawk IA: puo', credo, impiegarli nei gruppi australiani e la cosa lo aiutera' un poco ma si tratta comunque di aerei molto abbordabili per i miei A6M2-Zero e quindi niente di preoccupante. In ogni caso, i suoi piloti hanno pochissima exp e vita breve dato che li impiega molto e non mi aspetto che questi fighter siano pilotati da gente che sa quel che fa.
    24 PV-1 Ventura: ottimi aerei e utilissimi in mille milioni di ruoli. Il guaio e' che non credo abbia produzione per il momento e 24 a/c si rompono in fretta. Se trovo il gruppo che li usa, poi, provero' a massacrarlo a suon di bombardamenti dell'AF.
    24 Vildebeest IV: niente di preoccupante
    24 Vincent I: hanno una buona bomba (1,000 libbre) ma range modestissimo e sono molto abbordabili persino per Claude/Nate. Niente di preoccupante.



    In sostanza, Alleato ha ricevuto un buon quantitativo di rinforzi ma sono sopratutto robe che non hanno rimpiazzi e sono quindi fragilissimi.
    Considerata la sua postura, credo e spero che li impieghera' in qualche sbarco balordo tipo quello che fece a Tarawa. La cosa e' per me ottima.
    In linea di principio, comunque, potrebbe iniziare a rafforzare l'India ed organizzarsi per un'offensiva in Burma fra un 4-5 mesi. Non credo sia nelle corde di Alleato, ma penso sia una minaccia credibile.
    Diciamo che in un mese fa arrivare i rinforzi di emergenza in India, li dispiega e organizza (cambia i leader scarsi, setta gli obbiettivi etcetc). In 38 giorni fa East Coast - Cape Town via ferrovia. Piu' circa 10 giorni da West Coast a East Coast.
    Il che ci da' circa 48 giorni. Da Cape Town a mettiamo Cochin ci sono circa 120hex e con trasporti che fanno anche solo 6hex a turno sono 20giorni. Piu' 4 per imbarco/sbarco.
    Il che ci da' 72 giorni.
    Da Cochin (o dove per essa) alle basi fra Calcutta e Burma sono circa 10 giorni. Il che significa che fra 82 giorni puo' iniziare a tirar su le basi del settore per far affluire le supplies verso il confine.

    Quindi, diciamo che con qualche ritardo del caso e' credibile Alleato possa iniziare a creare la rete logistica verso Luglio 1942.

    Il monsone e' dal 15 Maggio al 15 Ottobre, quindi ha grossomodo 3 mesi e mezzo per preparare le basi e posizionare le LCU deputate ai vari movimenti.
    Quindi, ottimisticamente, verso inizio Ottobre inizia le operazioni e le fa entrare a pieno regime a fine mese.

    Cio' significa che ho sei mesi per organizzare il mio di posizionamenti nel settore.


    Alternative a cio' ci sarebbero anche, ma richiedono tutte un discreto impegno aeronavale, impegno che Alleato non puo' permettersi assolutamente.
    In linea teorica, comunque, puo' provare a mandare le truppe nel SOPAC (Taithi&co) e da li muovere passo passo verso OVEST cercando di riaprire la rotta per l'Australia. E', oggettivamente, la soluzione piu' interessante nel lungo periodo ma richiede grande disciplina e capacita' a livello operazionale, specie senza copertura aeronavale. Trovo la cosa abbastanza improponibile perche': A) non ha sviluppato l'area del SOPAC necessaria per fare cio' (Taithi&co); B) non ha portaerei; C) dato il punto A), non ha una logistica proponibile; D) ha perso un fracco di AK e AP, rendendo gli sbarchi molto difficili; E) le LCU di emergenza hanno pool poco profondi e quindi sono poco adatte a battaglie sanguinose come gli sbarchi anfibi; F) le sue forze navali di superficie hanno subito colpi non indifferenti nel campo degli incrociatori e le BB lente non sono affatto adatte a questa situazione; G) Alleato, ed e' il punto piu' importante, non mi sembra essere metodico ed organizzato nei suoi interventi fin qui e quindi questo genere di campagna non mi pare nelle sue corde.


    Esiste anche la bizzarra alternativa del NOPAC, dove non ho ancora stroncato la sua opposizione, ma prenderebbe molto, molto tempo.

    CENPAC e' al sicuro.

    Perth la vedo durissima.

    Sumatra e Giava sono al sicuro.

    Rinforzare l'Australia e' improbabilissimo.


    Ergo, o Burma o SOPAC. Credo SOPAC sia l'opzione di gran lunga migliore e che, individualmente sceglierei.
    Creazione infrastrutture SOPAC (Line Islands + Samoa + Taithi&co) prende circa 4 mesi con uno sforzo concentrato.
    La logistica (creazione stock notevoli) puo' credibilmente essere fatta nel mentre.
    Le truppe da Aden/Cape Town arrivano nel mentre.
    Verso Agosto 1942, puo' iniziare a muovere in avanti. Primi step verso le isolette fra Line Islands e Pago Pago e messa in sicurezza dell'area di Rarotonga.
    Da li', muove verso Vava'u o come diamine si chiama e verso Pago Pago medesima. Canton Island e Baker Island da riprendere a NORD.
    Userei le brigate NZ come copertura delle basi conquistate e dei centri logistici, lasciando ai cari vecchi marines il difficile compito di fare gli sbarchi. I tank partecipano agli sbarchi invece.
    Se mette in sicurezza Baker Island / Canton Island + area Pago Pago + area Vava'u, puo' ragionevolmente sperare di muovere su Suva a inizio 1943 col target di riprendere Noumea verso l'estate 1943.
    Da li, poi, ha da fare la campagna delle Salomone&co condensata negli ultimi sei mesi del 1943 e puo' riallinearsi alla storia e sperare di bombardare Onshu in tempo per fare i punti necessari alla vittoria.

    In linea di principio, poi, puo' addirittura provare a fare un'offensiva nelle Marshall partendo da PH a inizio 1944, cosi da accelerare le cose e sperare di arrivare alle Marianne con un ritardo modesto (+ 3-5 mesi).
    Se libera Noumea a meta' 1943 e da li muove in aiuto dell'Australia, poi, puo' anche provare a far di necessita' virtu' e tentare il passaggio verso Mindanao dalle DEI, cosa molto complicata.

    Individualmente, proverei SOPAC con l'obbiettivo di iniziare la campagna delle Salomone nella seconda meta' del 1943 e sbarco nelle Marshall + fine campagna Salomone a inizio 1944. A meta' 1944 dovrebbe poi riuscire ad approcciare le Marianne, anche se sarebbe comunque un azzardo.


    -Una campagna ben fatta nelle DEI nella seconda meta' del 1943 non mi pare plausibile.
    -Burma ha poca rilevanza strategica visto che la Cina e' andata.
    -Il NOPAC e' improponibile perche' geograficamente impossibile per lui evitare di essere ingaggiato dalle mie CV e dalla mia LBA in concerto.
    -Il CENPAC senza SOPAC e' infattibile perche' non ha la logistica per supportarlo


    Tutto cio' senza considerare l'autovictory giapponese, cosa del tutto probabile. Gia' adesso sono molto vicino al 4:1, anche se non credo di raggiungerlo prima della fine del bonus sbarchi. Verso fine Aprile, credo, raggiungero' il target del 4:1 e dubito di perderlo da qui a fine anno, anzi, probabilmente riusciro' ad andare molto oltre.
