Werter Cerberus,

Wir haben den werten Otto nochmals angeschrieben und hoffen auf eine Antwort. Sollte er Uns das Passwort übermitteln, so würden Wir Euch den letzten Save samt Passwort übersenden, damit Ihr Euch ein Bild von der Lage machen und abwägen könnt, ob Ihr das PBEM weiteerführen möchtet. Was die Geheimhaltung angeht, so haben Wir ja nicht viel über die weiteren Pläne berichtet und die Lage rund um Rabaul ist ja offensichtlich. Das wäre also kein Problem für Uns.

Vor allem im Segment "Forschung und Entwicklung" der Luftstreitkräfte liegt der Schlüssel zur nachhaltigen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der japanischen Seite. Wir konnten uns davon ja eindrucks- und (vor allem) leidvoll selbst überzeugen, das es für die Alliierten sehr schwer wird, im Laufe des Krieges die Luftherrschaft zu erringen, weil Japan technologisch nicht mehr (wie historisch) den Anschluß verliert.

Diese kämpferische Einstellung ehrt Euch, werter Oerty. Die Lage ist für Japan dennoch brisant. Australische Kräfte rücken entlang der Nordküste von Neu Guinea auf Hollandia vor. Die Admiralitätsinseln in alliierter Hand. Rabaul und Kavieng de facto isoliert. da die alliierte Luftwaffe über diesem Gebiet die absolute Luftherrschaft besitzt. Im Norden Burmas ist die britische Armee zur Offensive übergegangen. Nur in China sieht es für Japan recht gut aus, wobei seit Wochen hier aber seitens des Feindes nur wenige Fortschritte erzielt werden.

Wir sehen auch praktisch keine modernen Flugzeugmuster auf Seiten Japans im Fronteinsatz. Hier vermuten Wir Probleme im Bereich Forschung und Entwicklung.

Von der großen und für beide Seiten verlustreichen Trägerschlacvt. 1942 wissen wir, aber
Was bleibt einem potenziellen Japanspieler noch an Flotte? Ich bin nicht abgeneigt, aber das Spiel als Japse sollte noch die eine oder andere Möglichkeit bieten.
Zugfrequenz ist bei uns sehr nieder. Aber die Leidensfähigkeit ist groß.
Wir haben bisher nachgesagter ob ihr euren alten Gegner nicht wieder aktivieren könnt. Aber ohne Passwort wird es schwierig.

Gruß Oerty
Japan hat bis März 1943 insgesamt 5 Flottenträger und 2 Geleitträger verloren. Auch 1 oder 2 Schlachtschiffe wurden versenkt. Wir vermuten ebenfalls Defizite beim Produktions- und Forschungsmanagement auf Seiten Japans. Der werte Otto Weddingen ist leider nicht erreichbar. Wir und auch andere Regenten haben es in der Vergangenheit versucht. Also werden wir das PBEM und den AAR mit Würde zu Grabe tragen :amen:

Die Rückmeldungen aus dem Matrix Forum sind wenig ermutigend. Im Normalfall geht die Wiederherstellung eines Passwortes nur mit Unterstützung der Programmierer des Spiels, die sich aber dahingehend wohl schon vor längerer Zeit ausgeklinkt haben. Außerdem wurde das PbEM mit einer alten Version des Spiels begonnen, was zu Schwierigkeiten mit der aktuellen Spielversion führen würde. Aber der entscheidende Punkt ist wohl Dieser, den ein Forumsmitglied anbrachte:

With such losses on the Japanese side I don't think anyone would take over that side anyway....GP

So verabschieden Wir Uns von diesem PBEM und diesem AAR und hoffen, dass er dennoch in den letzten Wochen wieder zur Unterhaltung der Leserschaft beigetragen hat. Wir verweisen in diesem Zusammenhang auf den aktuell laufenden AAR gegen den werten Longstreet, wo Unsere Leidensgeschichte von vorne beginnt. Und auch der Verlauf von "Duell im Pazifik" scheint wieder atypisch zu sein. Wir sind wahrlich ein Glückskind, was Das angeht...

Aber der Verlust der Dominanz von Rabaul in der Region hätte auch so nie passieren dürfen.

Die stete Bedrohung aus dem Hintergrund durch die KB fehlt halt, da mutet die plötzliche Aktion des japanischen schweren Kampfverbandes gegen Manus ohne Luftdeckung fast wie Verzweiflung an.
Japan ist im Südpazifik schon jetzt zu diesem frühen Zeitpunkt in der Defensive. Hoffentlich finden Wir heraus, wie es weitergeht, denn hier endet das PBEM...vorerst. Wir haben das Matrix-Forum angeschrieben und um Hilfe bei der Ermittlung des Passwortes des werten Otto Weddingen gebeten. Vielleicht haben Wir ja Glück. Wenn sich dann noch ein Gegner findet, der die Japaner übernehmen würde...ein Traum :)

Die japanische Armee startete an zwei Frontabschnitten massive Bodenangriffe auf die chinesischen Abwehrstellungen. Sowohl südöstlich von Chungking, als auch nordwestlich von Changsa konnten die Chinesen ihre Stellungen behaupten. Der Feind erlitt sehr hohe Verluste, was den Verteidigern wohl einige Zeit der Ruhe verspricht. Östlich von Kweiyang beließ es der Feind beim Beschuss der chinesischen Stellungen durch seine Artillerie.

Vor der japanischen Küste gelang dem U-Boot “Harder” der Angriff auf einen japanischen Hilfskreuzer, welcher Truppen geladen hatte. Leider konnte nur 1 Torpedotreffer gesetzt werden, so dass eine Versenkung wenig wahrscheinlich ist. Bei der anschließenden Verfolgung durch japanische Sicherungsschiffe wurde die „Harder“ leicht beschädigt, kann jedoch im Operationsgebiet verbleiben.

Southwest Pacific

Manus ist zwar in alliierter Hand, doch ist die Insel als Basis noch nicht nutzbar. Ein Konvoi mit Unterstützungstruppen und Pionieren befand sich nur noch 150 Seemeilen südlich der Insel, als sie von 2 schweren japanischen Schlachtgeschwadern angegriffen wurde. Die großkalibrigen Granaten pflügten die Erde um und richteten verheerende Schäden an. Trotz der Gefahr japanischer Vorstöße soll der Konvoi weiter Kurs auf Manus halten und Truppen und Fracht entladen. Dann können umgehend PBY-Seeaufklärer auf der Insel stationiert werden, die das Seegebiet zwischen der Nordküste von Neuguinea bis Truk flächendeckend überwachen können.

Die täglichen Bombenangriffe auf die Marschkolonnen der 1. japanischen Panzerdivision östlich von Lashio scheinen zwar kaum Verluste beim Feind zu verursachen, doch sind sie der Moral des Feindes wohl abträglich und werden daher fortgesetzt, zumal die japanische Luftwaffe nicht Willens oder in der Lage ist, hier störend einzugreifen.

Als die Fallschirmjäger auf Manus kurz nach Morgengrauen auf die vermuteten Stellungen der japanischen Restverbände vorrückten, fiel kein einziger Schuss. In dem Dschungelstreifen fanden sie dutzende Leichen toter japanischer Soldaten, die anscheinend Selbstmord begangen hatten. Manus ist feindfrei. Der Kampf ist beendet.

Den ganzen Tag über war der Himmel über Manus der Ausgangspunkt todbringender Bombenangriffe. Auch die japanische Luftwaffe griff von Truk aus mit einigen Bombern in die Bodenkämpfe ein, doch das Heft des Handelns hatte eindeutig die USAAF in der Hand. In mehreren Wellen wurden die japanischen Stellungen flächendeckend bombardiert, bis kein Stein mehr auf dem Anderen war. Beim Feind müssen sich unbeschreibliche Szenen abgespielt haben.

Währenddessen brachten Transportmaschinen von Port Moresby aus weitere Kontingente Fallschirmjäger der 1. Welle, welche über den bereits am Vortage gesicherten Landezonen absprangen. Bis zum frühen Nachmittag rückten diese Verstärkungen in die Stellungen ihrer Kameraden ein. Punkt 17.00 Uhr sprangen über 2.000 Fallschirmjäger aus ihren Schützenlöchern auf und stürmten auf die japanischen Stellungen zu, Anfangs wehrte sich der Feind verbissen und Nahkämpfe flammten auf, doch der Feind war dem Ansturm der Elite Soldaten schließlich nicht gewachsen. Die Dämme brachen und bis zum Abend waren Hafen und Flugfeld in amerikanischer Hand. Nur wenige japanische Überlebende konnten sich in den Dschungel retten. Ihnen soll morgen nachgesetzt werden. Manus ist eingenommen!
