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

QUINDICIAPRILEMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTOTRENTUNO​

Nulla di nuovo in NZ.
In Eastern Australia non succede nulla.
In Western Australia non succede nulla.
Nell DEI lancio un altro deliberate nella base ad OVEST di Darwin, base che sara' importante punto d'appoggio per l'assalto a Darwin medesima. Forse ho bisogno di rinforzi dato che il terreno paludoso non aiuta.
Nulla di nuovo in Burma.
In Cina continuo con le turnazioni a Chikhiang prima di lanciare un altro assalto contro la citta' assediata. A Tuyun altro deliberate che vede le posizioni cinesi indebolirsi.
Nel NOPAC tutto apparentemente tace.
Nel CENPAC le navi alleate che avevano bombardato Truk si ritirano. Ieri Alleato aveva perso una BB causa sub e DD vari, oggi perde un CA moderno ed un'altra vecchia BB. Molto bene. In totale ha perso 3 DD + 2 BB + 1 CA contro i miei 3 DD: bene cosi.
Nel SOPAC tutto parrebbe tranquillo, ma ha messo fighter a Pago Pago.

Situazione logistica SOPAC: ottima.
Situazione logistica CENPAC: ottima.
Situazione logistica NOPAC: ottima.
Situazione logistica Cina: ottima.
Situazione logistica Burma.
Situazione logistica DEI: in chiaroscuro (devo ancora finire di creare mini-stock di benza e supplies in basi chiave).
Situazione logistica Western Australia: in chiaroscuro, ma complessivamente accettabile.
Situazione logistica Eastern Australia: ottima.
Situazione logistica NZ: ottima.

Situazione industriale: in chiaroscuro. Ho sciaguratamente finito il pool di A6M2-Zero nonostante un'ottima produzione ed il pool di Oscar-Ic e' perennemente vuoto. Il pool di bomber e' in netta crescita dopo che ho tenuto a terra i gruppi in Cina per una decina di giorni. Il pool di DB/TB procede bene. Il pool di FP procede bene.
Pool ARM e VEH ottimi.
Pool NavShipyard malaccio ma fra pochi turni inizio a varare roba interessante che abbassa drasticamente il quantitativo di punti richiesti (1 CV e poco dopo 1 CV+1 CVL).
Pool di MerchShipyard ottimo.
Pool HI ottimo.
Pool benza/oil buono.
Pool RES enorme come sempre.
Pool supplies un poco sottotono e tale restera' fino a Giugno '42, quando e' previsto il grande boom economico imperiale.
Quantitativo di mercantili: ottimo.
Quantitativo di TK/AO: ottimo.
Quantitativo di xAKL per cabotaggio: ottimo.
Quantitativo di navi ASW: pessimo.
Quantitativo di navi supporto (AKE in primis): ottimo.

In NZ nulla di nuovo.
In Western Australia bombardo di nuovo Brisbane dal mare.
In Eastern Australia tutto tace.
Nelle DEI sono vicino a catturare l'ultima base presidiata in mani alleate.
In Burma tutto tace.
In Cina assalto le truppe nemiche a Liuchow, base in mio possesso, ed ottengo buoni risultati.
Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
Nel CENPAC affondo 2 DD reduci della battaglia di Truk ed i miei sub affondano un CL. I 2 DD sono venuti giu' grazie al simpatico intervento di un gruppo di Val imbarcati: ho infatti mosso in zona una corposa TF aerea coperta da molte navi di superficie; peccato aver mancato l'ingaggio con le navi alleate in ritirata (sono ad un giorno di navigazione ma non le ragigungero').
Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

Situazione logistica generale: molto buona. Il mese di Aprile, come pianificato, sta andando via tranquillo e mi sto dedicando a mettere in sicurezza il perimetro conquistato durante il bonus sbarchi. La situazione logistica e' in nettissimo miglioramento dappertutto.

Situazione industriale: ottima.

DICIANNOVEAPRILEMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTOTRENTACINQUE​

In NZ Alleato si fa vivo e bombarda l'AF di Palmerston North, distruggendo vari bomber imperiali.
In Eastern Australia tutto tace.
In Western Australia catturo Kargoolie, importante base alleata dato che e' il capolinea della ferrovia PERTH-SYDNEY. Adesso la zona di Perth non e' piu' attaccabile dalle truppe in zona Sydney&co.
Nelle DEI tutto prosegue grossomodo tranquillamente.
In Birmania continuo la pressione sugli sbandati e muovo sempre piu' verso NORD-EST.
In Cina lancio un ulteriore deliberate a Liuchow ed ottengo buoni risultati per il secondo turno di fila.
Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
Nel CENPAC le navi alleate sono oramai ampiamente in fuga e non le raggiungero' con le mie flotte. La mia intenzione era comunque di eliminare eventuali navi azzoppate, ma i sub hanno fatto tutto il lavoro, rendendo l'intervento delle portaerei relativamente inutile.
Nel SOPAC credo la situazione sia da monitorare attentamente, dato che Alleato non da segni di vita da un pezzo. Credo voglia usare Pago Pago come trampolino di lancio per operazioni su Fiji&co.

Situazione logistica: ottima dovunque. Sto approntando la campagna di Port Moresby, campagna che spero essere abbastanza breve (un mese circa). Altre campagne minori sono in fase d'organizzazione: Darwin e costa NORD Australia, Townsville, etcetc. La fine del bonus sbarchi rende tutto molto piu' lento, ma ho una logistica d'acciaio e quindi e' abbastanza fattibile. Inoltre, si tratta sopratutto di basi lasciate indietro e dove Alleato non ha ne' risorse navali ne' aeree per intralciarmi. Credo di poter completare questa fase entro fine Giugno 1942.
Sono, comunque, gia' sulla difensiva strategica dovunque, cosa che mi aiuta assai al momento dato che ho da ristrutturare il posizionamento dei miei asset e creare una rete logistica piu' solida.

Situazione industriale: a gonfie vele.

CuloDiMarmoN*2 mi ha scaricato tipo sacchetto dell'immondizia.
Non so se sia stato farmi sorprendere con una mano nelle mutande della sua migliore amica qui (non una bella scena lo ammetto) o se aver chiarito i miei nefasti progetti riguardo il culo, affatto di marmo, della pediatra canadese cui piaccio tantissimo ma che "non si fida". Le ho detto che fa benone a non fidarsi fra l'altro. Sta di fatto che ho molto piu' tempo per WITPAE mi sa.

Dunque.

Piccolo recap.

Non ho voglia di aprire il gioco quindi niente cifre.


Siamo a fine Aprile 1942. Sono passati circa 130-140 turni, il che ci da' poco meno di 5 mesi di operazioni svolte.

La mia grand strategy e' naturalmente segreto di stato (alcuni di voi cari lettori gia' la sanno per PM da prima dell'inizio del match), ma la visione d'insieme e' stata relativamente semplice: sfondare nelle DEI in rapidita' senza lasciarmi niente indietro e continuare con l'offensiva strategica ben in la' nel match.
Offensiva strategica che, sebbene adesso inframmezzata da pause varie, prosegue gioiosa.

Alleato ha buttato via un fracco di materiel e la cosa mi fa gioco. Le perdite in CA e CV sono pesanti e non le recuperera' a breve. Force Z annichilita ma RN ancora pressoche' intatta.

Lo sfondamento nelle DEI e' stato propedeutico ad un impegno assai in profondita', raggiungendo la NZ gia' a Marzo '42. Alleato ha commesso un errore strategico notevole a Noumea e l'ho punito eliminando le CV americane.

Con lo sbarco in Western Australia e la cattura di Perth, ho concluso l'accerchiamento dell'Australia.

Allo stato attuale, infatti, l'Australia e' tagliata fuori dal mondo. La cosa non e' inconsequenziale.

In termini prettamente strategici, l'eliminazione del vettore australiano e' importante dato che obbliga Alleato a muovere o nel NOPAC o nel CENPAC o in Burma. Opzioni complesse. Nel NOPAC puo' avanzare con copertura aeronavale modesta e fare dei piccoli salti in avanti, ma ha comunque difficolta' senza portaerei e con le mie basi logistiche pressoche' approntate. Difficilmente puo' avanzare prima di meta' 1943.
Il CENPAC e' follia senza portaerei (ed anche con).
Burma parrebbe lasciata a se' stessa per il momento.

Senza ombra di dubbio cerchera' di utilizzare l'intatta RN ed i rinforzi d'emergenza arrivati in India per effettuare un'offensiva di qualche genere. Sono pronto.
Rangoon e' estremamente difesa. Le Andamane stanno venendo fortificate. Sumatra e' attaccabile, ma sto approntando basi varie che possono essere utilizzate per parare il colpo nei primissimi giorni di sbarco; dopo, e' la fine per lui. Giava e' un suicidio.
Western Australia e' fattibile, ma ha il problema di Giava/Sumatra: sbarca, magari prende qualcosa ma poi ci resta piantato e perde vagonate di materiel.
In linea di massima l'opzione piu' saggia per lui e' rafforzare la NZ, consolidare la zona di Taithi e sviluppare decentemente gli approcci alla roccaforte di Pago Pago, dalla quale poi puo' sviluppare sulle Figi.

Ad ogni modo, le mie posizioni difensive sono abbastanza solide gia' ora e lui ha perso le CV. Oltre che un fracco di AP/AK, essenziali negli sbarchi.

Le mie perdite sono fin qui contenute. Sto iniziando ad usare con profitto 3 CVE per fare da scorta a convogli vari che si muovono in giro ed ho praticamente azzerato le perdite per i bomber vari che vanno a bassa quota.




Il futuro prossimo mi riserva operazioni minori.
A Maggio 1942 approccio Port Moresby. La visione e' di catturare i vari dot/basi della PNG e svillupare Buna, dalla quale avanzo via terra sulla base nemica. BB varie e bomber martellano il luogo per un po' ed alla fine inizio gli assalti.
Truppe di seconda schiera (ma veterane della campagna di Mindanao) sono state preparate per l'operazione.
Credo che prendera' circa due mesi la riduzione della base nemica. Quindi, per fine Giugno 1942 dovrei averla in mio possesso.

A fine Aprile 1942 conto di eliminare anche Townsville, importante base in Eastern Australia. L'importanza di Townsville e' prettamente geografica: con Port Moresby eliminata e Darwin pure, posso inviare convogli vari li' invece che utilizzare le piu' esposte Rockhampton&co.

Nel corso di Maggio e Giugno 1942 ho anche da sbarazzarmi di Darwin. Qui il processo e' il solito: catturare Wyndham (gia' mia) a OVEST di essa, svilupparla un minimo per far affluire rinforzi e basarvi qualche caccia e poi brasare Darwin dal mare e dal cielo mentre le mie truppe si avvicinano. Usero' una parte delle truppe della campagna di Mindanao.
La campagna di Mindanao, infatti, ha avuto a disposizione circa 1,500AV cui si sommano i circa 500AV gia' disponibili per altre operazioni e che provengono dalla Cina e dalla madrepatria.
Con 2,000AV conto di eliminare sia Darwin che Port Moresby senza problema alcuno. Credo che usero' 6 BB per dare fuoco di supporto. Inizialmente, tutte e 10 le BB a mia disposizione. Forse addirittura 11 se decido di aggiungere la Yamato.

Nel mentre ho anche da eliminare alcune posizioni minori di Alleato come Canton Island, Wake e Pago Pago. Qui la logica e' semplicissima: creo la catena logistica necessaria, taglio fuori la base nemica e poi la elimino con un paio di settimane di bombardamenti aeronavali intensi. Poi, sbarco ed amen.
In NZ ho da portare rinforzi per contro.

Credo che svolgero' le operazioni preliminari su Darwin e Port Moresby (sbarchi minori, sviluppo basi, trasporto truppe, bombardamenti aerei) mentre faccio una breve campagna nel SOPAC.
Ho attualmente a disposizione 6 portaerei di squadra e 3 portaerei leggere. Piu' la CVE Hosho che si puo' volendo aggiungere senza problemi (fa 25knts come le BB ed una CV di squadra).
Entro Giugno potrei varare un'altra CV ed una CVL, ma ci sta che non le acceleri considerato il mio enorme vantaggio in fatto di aerei imbarcati.

Partendo il 1 Maggio da Onshu, posso essere nel SOPAC con TF di ogni tipo verso il 15 Maggio. Il 1 Giugno inizio gli assalti ed i rinforzi per la NZ ed il 1 Luglio ho catturato cio' di cui necessito. Resta l'incognita Wake per contro.
In tutto cio', credo di poter anche coprirmi il didietro nella zona OVEST della mappa, dove la RN, pur numerosa, non puo' affrontare la LBA imperiale.

Entro fine Luglio conto anche di chiudere la partita cinese. Changsha e' accerchiata ed Alleato ha una cosa come 5,000AV nella zona. Dato che ho gia' gli accessi alla piana di Chunking in mano mia, posso tranquillamente sfondare il settore di Changsha prendendolo per logoramento e poi muovere truppe varie fuori dal Teatro. In linea di principio posso prelevare un 5 divisioni di fanteria e le centinaia di bomber dell'IJAAF. Piu' i circa 250 caccia (quelli vanno nelle DEI come addestramento e copertura in caso di problemi).


In definitiva il match va a gonfie vele e sono ragionevolmente sicuro di ottenere l'autovictory senza problemi. Essendo ora sul 3:1 ai punti, non credo di mancare il 4:1 a fine anno.
Sul piano prettamente militare, le cose stanno andando benissimo con la Cina massacrata, le DEI catturate tranquillamente, il NOPAC contestato ed il SOPAC in mano mia. Australia accerchiata e NZ impegnata.
Qualunque azione alleata allo stato attuale rischia di darmi solamente piu' punti. Sono un po' perplesso all'idea di una serie di campagne lente e moderate in varie zone della mappa, ma credo di poterle gestire. Credo anche che non siano affatto ne' nelle corde ne' nella capacita' tecnica di Alleato e quindi mi sento ragionevolmente sicuro.

Con la flotta imperiale pressoche' intatta (salvo la Kaga affondata e due CA persi contro la Force Z), posso tranquillamente tenere coperte vastissime aree di oceano ed evitare scherzi.
I vari prossimi venturi mi daranno ulteriore vantaggio.


Ad occhio, direi che Alleato potra' permettersi operazioni su scala divisionale verso fine '43, forse inizio '44. La perdita delle CV e dei CA gli dara' grandi problemi prima. Operazioni ben concepite e svolte possono anche riuscire, ma non puo' oggettivamente controllare il mare e quindi ha davvero poco spazio di manovra. Giusto la "testa di ponte" di Pago Pago e le Aleutine sono Teatri dove puo' avanzare ed attualmente mantenere cio' che prende senza perdite allucinanti. Inutile dire che entrambe le aree sono decisamente sotto la lente d'ingrandimento imperiale.


Adesso prevedo qualche mese di relativa tranquillita', dove mi impegnero' sopratutto a svolgere le operazioni minori di cui sopra e puntellero' il perimetro. Sopratutto, cerchero' di sviluppare le basi che mi sono necessarie. Allo stato attuale, ad esempio, non ho ancora approntato basi intermedie fra Truk/Rabaul ed il SOPAC, cosa che disturba un poco la mia logistica. In compenso, pero', ho gia' quasi del tutto finito di organizzare le basi arretrate nelle DEI (i porti per le TK e gli AF per difesa in caso di mosse bislacche) ed alcune basi di prima linea sono in dirittura d'arrivo (Magw AF lvl7 per esempio o Rockhampton che sta per raggiungere AF lvl9).
Noumea e Figi sono gia' ok. Marshall procedono a rilento ma non ho fretta (assurda una manovra li'). Gilbert e Salomone meridionali da migliorare pero': qui sto andando davvero male.
Basi nel NOPAC vanno avanti spedite adesso che non e' piu' inverno. Basi nel CENPAC come IwoJima&co sono in fase di costruzione ma non c'e' fretta.

In sostanza le mie priorita' per i prossimi tre mesi sono:

1. miglioramento catena logistica (creazione stock benza nei posti adeguati, disposizione supplies etcetc)
2. miglioramento rete ASW
3. sviluppo basi
4. sviluppo forts in basi chiave
5. eliminazione di alcune sacche lasciate indietro
6. chiusura della campagna cinese
7. finalizzazione lavori su basi arretrate cosi da liberare genieri per altri compiti
8. razionalizzazione delle mie forze (dispiegare meglio le garrison, spalmare la pletora di NavGuards/SNLF in giro, etcetc)
9. creazione di una riserva strategica di alta qualita'
10. conversione bomber 1E in 2E
11. miglioramento organizzazione convogli di benza e risorse

That's all folks!

 

VENTUNOAPRILEMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTOTRENTASETTE​

In NZ Alleato muove qualche truppa.
In Eastern Australia la pressione alleata e' molto forte. Le mie due divisioni a OVEST di Brisbane si beccano un deliberate pesantuccio sul capo ed ho perdite molto alte (sopratutto disablements c'e' da dire). Sweep su Sidney deludente.
In Western Australia niente di nuovo.
Nelle DEI proseguo le manovre su Darwin ed inizio ad usare i para' per catturare basi varie.
In Burma tutto tace.
In Cina ulteriore spallata alle truppe a Liuchow, accerchiate.
Nel NOPAC nulla di nuovo.
Nel CENPAC nulla di nuovo.
Nel SOPAC nulla di nuovo.

Situazione logistica: ottima.

Situazione industriale: ottima, ho finalmente il bonus motori all'Ha-34 (per l'Helen-IIa).
