I think at the moment what we're seeing is both players being over-ambitious to start and scaling down their short-term operational aspirations. I think it paid off more for Alikchi than it did for Windy at the start, though. I think we'll see Windy back off his Philippine defence hopes entirely, but Alikchi probably got a good scare almost losing his CVL's in a dumb engagement.

Zeroisanumber posted:I'll be interested in seeing how the carrier battle actually shapes up. Alikchi likes to call himself a gambler, but sending two light carriers against an American fleet carrier was so rash that it was almost worthy of a wartime IJN officer. Gaishu Isshoku!

Pimpmust posted:The Japanese still seem to have carrier(s) flying A5M Claude, so the Buffs aren't that terrible in comparison. Doing 1 on 1 with carriers at this stage is pretty drat risky for both sides. I want a post a day and then the spergiest milhist goons doing a goddamn seminar breakdown every day. Too much to ask for, I know

Xenoborg posted:Is the scouting just super unreliable or was the timing just incredibly unlucky? From Windy's thread we see that he more than quadrupled the AV in Port Mosbey sometime before Jan 22th. Jan 23rd was Alikchi's last recon showing only 4k men. 28th was the landing, less than a week after his last scout because he switched to attacking. In WITP that's a very long time.

A shameful display by all the pilots and Windy. With more fortune or if Windy knew what he was doing one side could have got loving wrecked.

It was actually this close to being a terrible blow against Alikchi but I suspect he will be equally upset he didn't get an American flattop given how aggressive he is.

The loss of any flight decked ship is a gigantic pain in the rear end for the Japanese but given Ali's tempo and success so far it's not too bad if it sinks. It may well - Japanese have poo poo damage control. The question is will he count his blessings or gamble with the KB more to try to get the American flattops.

Does Alikchi still have a lovely supply chain in this mod, do we know?

WITP is to the Pacific Theatre what Shattered Sword is to the history of the Pacific theatre. The most grognardy creation ever made

I think Windy is pretty distracted which is probably why updates are infrequent and mistakes are frequent, aside from the fact he evidently isn't that adept of a player.
