Great! I'll email you.

I'm looking for an opponent to play the Guadalacanal scenario against. I'm new to the game, so would like to try this to learn the ropes. Happy to go either side, and I can manage 1-2 turns a day.

Opponents found.

Chris,

Have mailed you my email address.

Cheers,

Paul

Off-ladder. Am happy with all those options as mentioned.

Cheers,

If you haven't secured an opponent, I'll play you.

I'm looking for an opponent to play either a WW1 or WW2 scenario (non-Eastern Front preferably for the latter). I can manage turns most days.

It was Fairey who built the Fulmar.

That's comforting to know, I thought I was just totally crap! I did try to hit HK first, but had the wrong ships with the wrong TF organisation.<br/>

Yes, I think from the empirical evidence of my game ...

<t> If you post piquet lines of subs around your enemy's ports then it can serve the useful function of interdicting his movements, and providing early warning of fleet sorties.<br/>

I'm enjoying this one: lots of intense action! It's really whetting my appetite for a full campaign game.

<t> As a British player of this scenario who got his arse handed to him, the key as the Japanese is to focus strength on destroying the British piecemeal. Take advantage of the British initial dispositions and try to hit the British squadrons in Hong Kong first to reduce the British numerical ...

<t> Well, the enemy are bogged down in Borneo and are attempting to reinforce it; they are unaware that I have reinforced with an Indian Brigade. However, Japanese forces have landed on Hong Kong, around 12000 men in all. Their landing has suffered heavy losses, with several transports and ...

<t> It appears that I'm successfully sucking the enemy into a meatgrinder in Borneo. His land forces have bogged down against the Brunei garrison, whilst a light cruiser squadron under Glorious has mauled his remaining dreadnought BBs and BCs. Carrier airstrikes and sub attacks have been ...

<t> As predicted, his amphibious forces have arrived off Brunei, although the coast defence forces have mauled his troop transports. Two have been sunk and he has lost around 1000 troops and 20 guns before even getting ashore. He has, consequently moved the trasnports back out to sea. I expect he ...

<t> Japanese light forces probed Hong Kong this turn: no doubt to locate my capital ships. They were eliminated, and a sub in the HK region was destroyed.<br/>
<br/>
My subs indicate that his forces continue to move to Borneo - including his BBs. My subs have launched inconclusive attacks on these ...

<t> My light surface forces from Hong Kong successfully wiped out a convoy of supply ships in the last turn.<br/>

It's great fun, even if I am getting hammered! Unfortunately real life gets in the way![:(][:D]

<t> My subs seriously damaged a Japanese cargo ship near Tatay, and sruiser task forces are reported there. Meanwile, off the south west of Formosa, my subs damaged a Jap cruiser.<br/>
<br/>
Sub reports indicate Jap forces moving SW from Formosa. So it looks like there's something afoot: perhaps ...

<t> A quiet turn: mainly sub action, with the monitor Terror being torpedoed off Brunei. British light cruisers bombarded Tatay, whilst the badly damaged BBs Iron Duke and Benbow sank at Hong Kong.<br/>

My objective is to maintain a strong fleet in being: my opponent cannot risk amphibious ...
