You did good to sink the Perry.<br /><br />As for doing an ambush, try to do it with land behind the Chinese. That will effect your detection. Also the weather can be a factor.<br /><br />As for detection, just because you have EW or radar it does not mean you need to use it. (One of the problems of not having a GM.) In one game of Harpoon I was able to get in close just using Merchant Nav Radar, something all ships have. They thought I was a merchant.<br /><br />Are your ships 1/2400 scale?<br /><br />JonJon Yuenglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140492307166591621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206751061359112024.post-63520429277751402262013-11-01T05:28:31.150-07:002013-11-01T05:28:31.150-07:00Thanks.

I don't field the most recent PLAN vessels, and I can't complain as my USN opponent agrees to the basic principle that USN losses weigh much heavier than PLAN losses. <br /><br />That would be no consolation to real crews, but in a game setting it means that I can afford to lose more ships and aircraft. It works out. At some point, we will start linking scenarios together as a campaign, even including more club members to help run stuff, where cumulative losses will be more important.<br /><br />I am thinking of placing a Shapeways or Denian order to get 5-6 newer PLAN ships.Chalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701809409586409886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206751061359112024.post-26840453081540810822013-10-31T18:05:57.487-07:002013-10-31T18:05:57.487-07:00Ah, the good thing is that your nation would hear ...Ah, the good thing is that your nation would hear of a wonderful victory and there would be no mention of PLAN losses against the aggressor Americans! <br /><br />Nice AAR and I'll remember your lessons when my PLAN sail out against the INS - although I suspect they will have less trouble with the INS than the OH Perry's caused.<br />Thomo the Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991783592249914130noreply@blogger.com
