    Ciao Francesco questa partita mi sembra ormai indirizzata, invece non ho letto più niente sul forum Matrix in merito all'altra quella in cui fai l'alleato.
    Non sta andando avanti o semplicemente non aggiornate i resoconti?

    Dunque, si, questa partita era abbastanza decisa dall'inizio. Alleato ha fatto grandi errori a Dicembre '41 e mi ha consentito di andare spedito rispettando (ed anzi anticipando) il mio cronogramma.

    L'altro match e' in stand-by: ho poco internet dove sono ora e sono sommerso di lavoro. A cio' si aggiunge il CuloDiMarmoN*2 che merita l'attenzione del caso.
    Il grande guaio e' che da Alleato inizialmente hai da essere molto attento e ci sono tante cose da fare e quindi un turno mi prende magari due ore, mentre nel match che descrivo qui faccio i turni anche in 15min.

    che Odds haii? Superi lo stacking limits? HR particolari? :hilarious:

    Giuro che stavo per rispondere a ex wolf che probabilmente eri troppo impegnato valutare le nuove consistenze marmoree acquisite... poi ho visto la tua risposta :D

    Beh ho avuto anche dei culi non troppo edificanti fra CuloDiMarmo1 e CuloDiMarmo2...


    PRIMOAPRILEMILLENOVECENTOQUARANTADUETURNOCENTODICIASSETTE

    Non succede praticamente nulla.
    In NZ abbatto altri aerei alleati: i pericolosi Ventura arrivati come rinforzi d'emergenza hanno gia' subito perdite importanti e credo di averne eroso notevolmente il pool.
    In Eastern Australia approccio Brisbane, dove Alleato ha messo ben 28LCU.
    In Western Australia nulla di nuovo.
    Nelle DEI procede a rilento la marcia sulla base di montagna al centro di Mindanao: una volta raggiunta, sferro l'attacco su tutte le altre basi, cosi' da non dare percorsi di ritirata validi ai poveri filippini.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina sto terminando manovre minori prima di lanciarmi su Chikhiang in forze.
    Nel NOPAC una seconda NavGuards viene distrutta causa attrito a Dutch Harbour.
    Nel CENPAC nulla di nuovo.
    Nel SOPAC nulla di nuovo.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima

    Si, sono ottimi aerei in bombardamenti navali a bassa quota

    Decentemente armati, buon range, buona velocita', etcetc insomma sono buoni
    Ho giusto giusto perso due A6M2-Zero in CAP contro di essi

    Il trick e' avere piloti buoni, ottima NavS e farli intervenire lontano dalle CAP giapponesi

    In sostanza sono piattaforme perfette per affondare convogli vari ed allo stato attuale sono di gran lunga l'aereo migliore a disposizione di Alleato per questo compito (i Catalina lui li usa in NavB, ma e' uno spreco enorme visto che ne ha pochi e sono preziosissimi per fare NavS).
    Io notoriamente non do copertura aerea ai convogli e quindi sono una rottura di coglioni perche' mi costringerebbero a distaccare un paio di CVE per fare scorta convogli nelle zone calde, cosa che costa fuel, rischi e clicks.

    Niente di nuovo in NZ.
    In Eastern Australia colpisco pressoche' a vuoto il porto di Townsville, dove Alleato ha probabilmente dato per l'ennesima volta il comando 'scuttle' alle navi danneggiate; un CL viene comunque affondato. Bombardo senza convinzione Brisbane e Port Moresby.
    In Western Australia proseguo l'opera di conquista di basi minori.
    Nelle DEI niente di nuovo.
    In Birmania niente di nuovo.
    In Cina assalto un gruppo di cinesi intenti a contrattaccare a Liuchow e li respingo con perdite ingenti. Chikhiang, completamente accerchiata da alcuni giorni, sara' presto investita.
    Nel NOPAC non succede nulla.
    Nel CENPAC non succede nulla.
    Nel SOPAC non succede nulla.

    Situazione logistica: eccelsa.
    Situazione industriale: eccelsa.

    Quando CuloDiMarmoN*2 mi lascia il tempo, faro' il punto della situazione post-bonus sbarchi. CuloDiMarmoN*1 mi aveva decisamente scosso, ma il N*2 mi ha completamente fottuto il cervello, cosa che si riverbera sulla frequenza di gioco ben piu' di condizioni di vita precarie, assenza di internet ed emergenza umanitaria generalizzata.

    In NZ tutto tace.
    In Eastern Australia abbatto una trentina di aerei su Brisbane con una LRCAP bislacca di piloti novellini di A6M2-Zero. Alleato ha portato tutto l'esercito australiano a Brisbane medesima, mossa decisamente sconsiderata dato che e' facilissimo sbarcargli alle spalle.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma tutto tace.
    In Cina tutto tace, ma parrebbe che i cinesi stiano muovendo dall'area di Tuyun-Kweyiang verso Chungking: vedremo se le mie truppe che bloccano la strada a SUD di Chungking reggeranno agli assalti combinati da dentro la capitale e da SUD.
    Nel NOPAC niente di nuovo.
    Nel CENPAC niente di nuovo.
    Nel SOPAC niente di nuovo.

    Situazione logistica: in netto miglioramento nel SOPAC e a Rabaul. Complessivamente buona in Australia. Ottima nelle DEI. Buona in Burma. Ottima in Cina. Ottima nel NOPAC. Ottima nel CENPAC.

    Situazione industriale: buona, ma mancano gli Oscar-Ic, aerei necessari per sostituire i Nate dalla prima linea (resteranno fino a fine guerra nel ruolo di CAP notturna). In produzione i primi Rufe, cosa buona e giusta visto che ho diversi usi per essi.


    La faccenda Brisbane e' davvero interessante dato che potrei aver commesso un errore di giudizio fondamentale. Alleato e' ben disposto a rischiare di perdere l'Australia malamente pur di provare a tenere Brisbane. Ora, la cosa in se' non ha il benche' minimo senso e non l'avevo prevista, ma mi apre scenari molto interessanti. Ho a disposizione circa 12 divisioni di fanteria fra quelle libere da compiti vari e quelle gia' in loco. Fanno circa 5.400AV. Eliminando le truppe a Brisbane, dovrebbero essere piu che sufficienti a finire cio' che resta degli australiani. Conto 3 divisioni australiane piu' 1 americana. E truppe che formano perlomeno una quarta divisione australiana. Il che implica 1 divisione australiana a Sidney ed 1 a Melbourne and that's it.
    Forse, vale la pena far scattare i rinforzi d'emergenza differentemente da quanto previsto.
    Da notare anche come il conto degli AV alleati, benche molto superiore al mio, sia assai modesto. L'equivalente di 5-6 divisioni fra cui una americana danno circa 1,600AV, cosa abbastanza interessante: e' probabile che non abbia curato upgrade vari delle squadre di fanteria australiane e sia ancora bloccato con squadre miserande e pool semi-vuoti. Cio' e' un ulteriore fattore a mio favore.
    Decidero' il da farsi nei prossimi turni. Presumo lui provi uno shock attack a Brisbane medesima contro le mie tre divisioni il prossimo turno fra l'altro. Ci sta gli riesca, ma cambia ben poco.

    In NZ tutto tace mentre le mie truppe si riposano.
    In Eastern Australia Alleato non attacca a Brisbane ed io mi tengo sulla difensiva.
    In Western Australia elimino l'ultima base alleata assieme a Kargoolie (che prendero' presto).
    Nelle DEI finalmente lancio l'attacco su Mindanao e catturo la ridotta alleata di Cagayan dove faccio 13,000 morti per la gloria dell'Impero. Anche Davao cade. Campagna delle DEI/Filippine officialmente chiusa.
    In Birmania non succede nulla e pare Alleato sia del tutto passivo su questo fronte: probabile voglia tentare qualche operazione un poco in profondita' piu' tardi.
    In Cina inizio a raggruppare le truppe per l'assalto a Chikhiang. Ho deciso per un'operazione relativamente semplice con 6 divisioni in totale: 3 per ciascuna turnazione. Credo la base nemica non regga piu' di tanto.
    Nel NOPAC, sciaguratamente, le truppe ancora a Dutch Harbor non si arrendono, non consentendomi di ricostituire i frammenti a Tokio.
    Nel CENPAC tutto tace per ora.
    Nel SOPAC mi pare non vi sia attivita' nemica dopo il fallito sbarco a Baker Island. Probabilmente Alleato sta rafforzando basi varie dell'area.

    Situazione logistica SOPAC: in miglioramento.
    Situazione logistica Australia: ok.
    Situazione logistica DEI: ottima.
    Situazione logistica Burma: traballante ma ok.
    Situazione logistica Cina: ottima.
    Situazione logistica NOPAC: ottima.
    Situazione logistica CENPAC: buona, ma mi restano solamente 250.000ton di benza a Truk. Non intendo usare la suddetta Truk come hub o snodo delle mie rotte future, quindi si va ad esaurimento scorte.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.


    Credo che utilizzero' il passaggio attraverso lo Stretto di Torres per rifornire il Pacifico meridionale. Il grande vantaggio di tale rotta e' che i punti d'arrivo sono 'a ventaglio' invece che in sequenza come per Truk. Altro vantaggio non indifferente e' la sicurezza pressoche' totale della rotta una volta che PM e zona Townsville sono in mani giapponesi.
    Infine, in caso di problemi e' fattibile stockare roba a Townsville medesima invece che dover tornare indietro come per la rotta da Truk.
    Volendo potrei anche sbarcare a Normanton e lasciar affluire la benza a Townsville e poi caricarla da li' per ulteriori destinazioni, ma non sono del tutto persuaso sia efficiente date le quantita', notevoli, di carburante che muovo nell'area.
    In campo supplies dovrei essere a posto per diversi mesi invece. Credo di fare un convoglio da 150.000ton verso fine Giugno cosi' da arrivare a fine '42 senza problemi. In caso di necessita', poi, le DEI avranno un surplus importante a breve.

    In NZ tutto tace.
    In Eastern Australia il bombardamento terrestre di Alleato fa un bel po' di vittime fra le mie fila. Io lancio vari sweep su Sidney dove ottengo un modesto 25-55 nei cieli, cosa comunque buona dato che e' praticamente la produzione di un mese di P40. Il maltempo impedisce ai siluranti di affondare il colpo sulle navi in ASW davanti Sidney medesima.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI inizio a muovere le truppe verso i porti d'imbarco a Mindanao: prendera' un po' di tempo. Si parla di circa 1,200AV disponibili per ulteriori operazioni.
    In Birmania tutto tace.
    In Cina Alleato manda ulteriori truppe contro Liuchow ma rinuncio all'assalto. Tentativo verso Chikhiang per liberarne gli assediati che fallisce dato che occupo gia' gli hex.
    Nel NOPAC ho finito da poco di inviare rinforzi e supplies/fuel vari e non succede granche'.
    Nel CENPAC inizio a ridistribuire la NavS.
    Nel SOPAC Pago Pago raggiunge porto lvl3 ed ho da dare un'occhiata a quel che succede nell'area. Prevista un'operazione maggiore Alleata (ed anche Giapponese...) a breve.

    Situazione logistica generalmente ottima.

    Situazione industriale ottima, ma non posso ancora produrre il Mavis-TR a causa di assenza di slot. Quando avro' finito i motori dell'FP Dave, cambiero' la produzione della fabbrica al Mavis-TR. Produzione di HA-33 incrementata ulteriormente (pool sempre vuoti...). Produzione HA-34 inizia ad ingranare e dovrei raggiungere i famigerati 500 motori in pool verso meta' Aprile.
    Produzione navale a gonfie vele.

    In NZ nulla di nuovo.
    In Eastern Australia altro brutto turno a terra a Brisbane. Nei cieli sweeppo accanto a Sidney ed abbatto una mezza dozzina di caccia alleati senza subire perdite. Un'unita' di tank a NORD-OVEST di Rockhampton cattura un dot ma viene poi massacrata dalla mia aviazione.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI grande fermento logistico.
    In Birmania niente di nuovo.
    In Cina continuo le manovre.
    Nel NOPAC tutto fermo.
    Nel CENPAC finalmente porto avanti altri Mavis per coprire un po' meglio gli approcci verso OVEST dato che non ho ancora Wake.
    Nel SOPAC identifico ben 6 LCU alleate a Pago Pago, fra cui almeno una di tank. Iniziero' a tenere un poco sott'occhio la base dalle Figi, cosi da identificare robe bislacche da parte di Alleato.

    Situazione logistica: ottima in generale, alcune vulnerabilita' in Birmania e le DEI sono ancora in corso di riparazione, cosa che succhia un bel po' di punti.
    Il quantitativo di ENG che stanno costruendo in giro e' impressionante, eppure non bastano mai. Ho un deficit notevole nel SOPAC e nelle DEI meridionali. Andamane/Sumatra vanno alla grande. Burma procede dignitosamente. Cina non necessita di nulla. NOPAC e' ancora in inverno (credo, devo controllare) e quindi e' inutile mandarvi genieri. CENPAC in deficit mostruoso. Australia ha gia' migliaia di punti ENG e procede abbastanza spedita. Basi isolate come Cocos Island o Marcus Island sono un poco in chiaroscuro dato che il grosso del lavoro per esse e' rappresentato dal portare i forts al lvl6, cosa fattibile in velocita' se uno ci si mette di buzzo buono, ma che ho intenzionalmente deciso di fare in modo piu' ragionevole e lento.
    Gli hub logistici in giro per la mappa sono tutti grossomodo ben riforniti, difesi ed utilizzati. Sto approntando giusto adesso vari hub minori che forniranno utile supporto a quelli maggiori.

    Situazione industriale: ottima, ma avrei bisogno di almeno 2-300 Oscar-Ic in piu' per riempire i gruppi che gia' lo hanno in dotazione, figuriamoci per convertire i Nate. Credo che cerchero' di essere conservativo sul loro uso, usando gli ottimi A6M2-Zero dei quali ne ho quantita' notevoli in pool.
    Pool di bomber decisamente brutto, ma sono riuscito miracolosamente ad accumulare circa 40 Lily nei magazzini, cosa che mi consentira' di convertire un gruppo o due a breve.
    Atteso in gloria il mese di Maggio, quando iniziera' la produzione del magnifico Nell-2, aereo ottimo sotto ogni punto di vista. Con 21hex di range in normal e 26hex in extended, fara' la differenza sia nel coprire il perimetro che nel colpire in profondita'.

    In NZ nulla di nuovo.
    In Eastern Australia distruggov con la sola aviazione l'unita' di tank che avevo colpito ieri, ma subisco forti perdite a Brisbane.
    In Western Australia niente di nuovo.
    Nelle DEI niente di nuovo.
    In Burma niente di nuovo.
    In Cina la situazione inizia a farsi disperata per l'Alleato, che perdera' la vitale Tuyun domani.
    Nel NOPAC niente di nuovo.
    Nel CENPAC vedo un paio di navi a Wake ma per il resto tutto e' calmo.
    Nel SOPAC bombardo il porto di Pago Pago senza trovarvi navi.

    Situazione logistica: in lento, ma costante, miglioramento dovunque. Sopratutto, sto andando abbastanza spedito con i movimenti di truppe e fuel/supplies in giro per la mappa, cosi da poter ridispiegare le mie forze per la fase 2 della mia campagna offensiva.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    In NZ non succede nulla.
    In Eastern Australia Alleato ritira qualche LCU da Brisbane dove ho infatti perdite piu' accettabili. Nei cieli abbatto una sessantina di caccia alleati contro 50 perdite mie fra A2A e ops. Sidney non reggera' a lungo.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Birmania tutto tace.
    In Cina catturo come previsto Tuyun, vitale snodo ferroviario.
    Nel NOPAC nulla di nuovo.
    Nel CENPAC via vai di navi a Wake.
    Nel SOPAC bombardo Pago Pago e scopro che due delle LCU sono il 7th Marine defence batallion e l'8th.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    In NZ nulla di nuovo.
    In Eastern Australia sweeppo a vuoto Sidney e nient'altro.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI tutto tace.
    In Burma elimino un'altra LCU alleata.
    In Cina inizio a bombardare Chikhiang dove soffro diverse perdite causa FlaK.
    Nel NOPAC tutto tace.
    Nel CENPAC si fanno vivi due gruppi di CV USA distanziati di vari hex a SUD di Wake. Il che indica che Alleato ha ancora 2 US CV in giro.
    Nel SOPAC niente di nuovo.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.


    La presenza di 2 US CV mi fa pensare di averne affondate solo 3? Forse una e' una CVE scambiata per CV pero'. Potrei in teoria cercare l'ingaggio ma faccio il bravo bambino e vedo come si sviluppa la situazione.
    In tutto cio', sto ancora muovendo dozzilioni di truppe dovunque, quindi ci sta sia saggio neutralizzare le US CV nel caso rimangano a ballare in giro nell'area. Mi stuzzica l'idea di usare Betty/Nell, ma mi stuzzica un po' meno l'idea di dover cambiare manualmente i piloti e poi doverci rimettere quelli in GrndBmb.
    La cosa interessante di tutto cio' e' che pare Alleato abbia rinunciato a muovere in soccorso dell'Australia, isolata da qualche settimana. Con le US CV a SUD di Wake, prende un bel po' per farle arrivare nel SOPAC (senza parlare della catena logistica necessaria per rifornirle) ed usarle come copertura ad uno o piu' convogli verso l'Australia.
    Al suo posto, avrei provato a forzare il SOPAC per rifornire l'Australia almeno una volta prima che io chiuda a chiave l'intera zona della mappa. Con un singolo convoglio ben fatto potrebbe portare tranquillamente un 750.000ton di SUPPLIES e 500.000ton di FUEL, consentendo a Sidney&co di reggere. Per non parlare di eventuali LCU di rinforzo.
    Molto probabile, comunque, che le abbia mandate li' per coprire uno sbarco di rinforzi a Wake, che sa verra' assaltata prima o poi. Io, placidamente, lo lascio fare.

    Turno interlocutorio.
    In NZ non succede nulla.
    In Eastern Australia nemmeno.
    In Western Australia tutto tace.
    Nelle DEI muovo i vari convogli as usual e nient'altro.
    In Burma niente di nuovo.
    In Cina niente di nuovo.
    Nel NOPAC niente di nuovo.
    Nel CENPAC le CV USA si sono portate a NORD delle Marshall e parrebbero dirigersi verso Truk. Che voglia perderne altre?
    Nel SOPAC tutto tace.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima, accelerato di un mese giusto oggi l'A6M5, il cui ingresso in produzione e' previsto in tempi ragionevoli.

    In NZ scopro un convoglio di 10 navi che cerca di passare a SUD di essa. Alleato puo' ancora forzare il mio blocco navale verso l'Australia, quindi non e' cosa inaspettata.
    In Eastern Australia un perfido sub mi colpisce ed affonda una AO, mentre un raid di incrociatori pesanti affonda un paio di cacciatorpedinieri alleati e ne danneggia gravemente un terzo.
    In Western Australia mi appresto a completare la campagna di cattura di basi minori varie.
    Nelle DEI sbarco a OVEST di Darwin. Il CL Katori (CL d'addestramento da 18knts) viene colpito da ben 4 siluri ed affonda come un sasso nelle acque di Soerabaja. Molto male.
    In Birmania tutto tace.
    In Cina tutto tace mentre mi appresto a far turnare le truppe che combattono a Chikhiang.
    Nel NOPAC sto iniziando un buildup logistico ed infrastrutturale non indifferente. La mia visione e' di tenere sotto pressione le basi alleate nel settore e niente piu'.
    Nel CENPAC le CV americane si portano a soli 6hex da Truk ma non lanciano. Non so se sia un problema di meteo, settaggi o se proprio intendesse non lanciare. 6hex e' la distanza che le BB lente possono fare in full speed, quindi ci sta che voglia bombardare l'AF e poi lasciare il campo all'aviazione. Vedremo.
    Nel SOPAC sono un poco a corto di navi, ma tutto procede grossomodo adeguatamente. Sto iniziando giusto adesso le operazioni preliminari intorno a Port Moresby, base che da circa una settimana tengo sotto pressione con una cinquantina di Sally basati a Rabaul.

    Situazione logistica NZ: ottima.
    Situazione logistica Eastern Australia: ottima.
    Situazione logistica Western Australia: mediocre.
    Situazione logistica DEI: ottima.
    Situazione logistica Burma: miglioramento costante.
    Situazione logistica Cina: ottima.
    Situazione logistica NOPAC: ottima.
    Situazione logistica CENPAC: potenzialmente ottima, ma devo muovere lo stock di Truk.
    Situazione logistica SOPAC: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima. Fra pochi giorni varo un'ulteriore CV ed ho la KB disponibile al gran completo fra pochi turni; per ora, solo una parte di essa e' in grado di combattere (comunque con ampio margine sulle CV USA restanti).
    La produzione di ARM e' buona (70.000 in pool) ed i VEH tengono ancora botta (1.000 in pool). Motori in chiaroscuro con HA-33 e HA-35 in perenne penuria ed HA-34 che approcciano i 500 in pool.
    A6M5 procede rapidamente. Helen-IIa procede rapidamente. Oscar-IIa si ripara abbastanza bene. Judy si ripara bene. Tony sta migliorando in termini di riparazioni e credo di poter iniziare la R&D vera e propria fra pochissimi mesi. Altri aerei grossomodo ok.
    Produzioni di A6M2-Zero e Oscar-Ic vanno avanti a pieno regime.

    Nulla di nuovo in NZ.
    Nulla di nuovo in Eastern Australia.
    Nulla di nuovo in Western Australia.
    Nelle DEI finisco l'imbarco delle truppe che hanno catturato Mindanao.
    In Burma nulla di nuovo.
    In Cina turno di riposo.
    Nel NOPAC le truppe rimaste a Dutch Harbour finalmente si disbandano.
    Nel CENPAC Alleato pressa l'attacco su Truk e combattono contro le mie povere TF in loco. Subisco danni e ne infliggo complessivamente pochi.
    Nel SOPAC nulla di nuovo.

    Situazione logistica: ottima.

    Situazione industriale: ottima.

    Nulla di nuovo in NZ.
    In Eastern Australia mi ritiro da Brisbane per riposare.
    In Western Australia nulla di nuovo.
    Nelle DEI nulla di nuovo.
    In Burma nulla di nuovo.
    In Cina nulla di nuovo.
    Nel NOPAC nulla di nuovo.
    Nel CENPAC colpisco malamente coi sub un DD (andato giu'), un CA (spero rallentato assai) ed affondo la BB Maryland con 4 siluri (FP fra le ground losses e quindi confermata). La BB Idaho ha ricevuto un siluro ed un fracco di cannonate ieri, quindi ci sta che sia in giro mezza affondata. L'operazione di Alleato e' andata malaccio ma le sue perdite sono relativamente contenute.
    Nel SOPAC tutto ok.

    Situazione logistica: tutto ok.

    Situazione industriale: tutto ok.
