<t> I'm rather new here. I used to play WITP and post on occasion a few years ago. Recently I bought the Admiral's Edition and I was wondering if and where patches may be found. I have found a few bugs, probably ones already posted about. For instance, Suva underwent an air attack from carrier based ...

<t> ABDA, SW Pacific, & Aussie Commands:<br/>
<br/>
"Hold until relieved" keeps ruuning through my head. We've been digging in, moving men and material, assembling aircraft, and training ships crews for months...and now it's just a waiting game.<br/>
<br/>
We have no clue where the Japs will ...

<t> From what I know, which could be wrong...I think Allied ships coming back from war patrol had a "homecoming"....a little celebration at the harbor it was returning to...maybe a a fireboat sprays the harbor...tugs and other ships blow their horns...a small band on the pier...a little crowd of ...

I forgot to make a comment on the sinking of the U.S.S. Bulmer, an American four-stacker.<br/>
<br/>
This DD was escorting a convoy consisting of two AK's and three PG's. What I find amazing about this sinking is the Japanese subs I ...

I want to apologize for ignoring my duties for the last few weeks. I've been busy, but I should have taken the time to update my command area.<br/>
<br/>
Right now...with the fall of the Philippines and Singapore,...Australia ...

<t> ABDA, SW Pacific, and Australia Commands:<br/>
<br/>
Big B needs to get our Combat reports updated, but here is the situation as of 22 FEB 1942:<br/>
<br/>
Situation remains the same throughout the commands. Supply situation has eased, but we are still in need of fighter and bomber aircraft ...

<t> ABDA, SW Pacific, & Australia Commands:<br/>
<br/>
It's hard to report without revealing to much, but I've decided that it really doesn't matter much. The Japanese have a very good idea what's going on, so I might as well talk about what's up.<br/>
<br/>
My Iron Triangle of Koepang, Kendari ...

Southwest Pacific Command:

From Port Moresby: "Send us supply!"

From Amboina : "Send us fighters!"

From Kendari : "Send us bombers!"

From Koepang : "Send us Japs!"

Southwest Pacific, ABDA & Australia Commands out.

<t> If I may pipe in for a moment.<br/>
<br/>
I think the reason there are such high loses in PT boats, and a good deal of ship loses on the Japanese side against PTs as well, is because Allied players in the game are actually using the PT boats as they were originally intended to be used.<br ...

Meanwhile, the ABDA and Australia Command dig in and wait.

<t> ABDA here:<br/>
<br/>
Everything is falling into place. Units have moved into position and we are finally set to await the Japanese assault. Can't say to much without revealing our strengths and weaknesses...but I don't think we have any weaknesses. Port Moresby sent some recon aircraft over ...

<t> ABDA here:<br/>
<br/>
Except for nuisance air raids on some of our bases, we are strengthening our position. Supplies are still critical, but we are shifting our resources around and making every place we plan on making a stand effective. We are looking forward to the day the Japs mistakenly ...

<t> ABDA here:<br/>
<br/>
Well, we got caught with our pants down at Amboina. We have no choice but to stick around and get as much men and supply off as possible. But an air attack and the loss of a ship is not going to stop our resolve to hold the base. Any landing attempted there will be met by ...

<t> ABDA here:<br/>
<br/>
Sorry I haven't posted as often as I should. It's busy in the East Indies. Men and material are being shuffled about. Japanese presence here is almost nil. We're fortifying strongpoints and expect to put up fierce resistance to any Jap attempt to take anything at the ...

Temper! Temper! [:-]

However, the men are requesting a few cases of plum wine to go with the coconuts.

<t> ABDA here:<br/>
<br/>
Evacuations still underway. Ship losses have leveled out. Our main concern at the moment is supply. The men are eating nothing but coconuts and sawgrass and washing it down with Foster's. Thank God the Foster's makes even sawgrass palatable.<br/>

<t> ABDA here...<br/>
<br/>
We had planned on trying a new strategy in this game...but then the few surprises from our Jap opponent were enough to make us go back to our old strategy. What the heck, we've never played a war out long enough to actually see the ABDA's plans come to fruition, so this ...

<t> Without revealing to much, because our worthy opponent has spies on this board, the ABDA is having a logistical nightmare. We pulled much more out of the P.I. than we ever have before, but the addition of these troops has led to a lot of problems with scheduling transports. And then the Bettys ...

<r> For those of you having a hard time following our developments, here's the surprising elements of our game so far:<br/>

Dec. 21, 1941, and the Japs are on Guadalcanal and Tulagi, they've taken Baker Is., and they've landed at Attu. ATTU! Looks like we might be in for a long game. It ...
