I don't think so (and it was an ASW attack, not a sub attack). Apart from that, IIRC, I do not think the combat report always give ...

RE: Ship Name Quiz

Anchises was Aeneas' father, IIRC. And a whole class of ship could be named after Anax-philosophers: not just Anaximander, but Anaximenes and Anaxagoras as well.
As for warriors with an A, how about Awesomest Maximus? (Just look it up on IMDB [:D])

Orphan Annie and Wake

<t> In my Allied game vs AI Japan, I have got the usual orphan annie messages about singapore etc. Now, I just (Jan. '43) invaded japanese-occupied Wake Is. and (due to poor intelligence & preparation) was firmly kicked off the beach. When my troops unloaded over the beach, so actually before the ...

RE: The Good The Bad & The Indifferent

Wow, things coming to a boil! Well done so far. Would it be possible to send your damaged TF's north (true) to Calcutta and then west (true) to Colombo, hugging the coast as it were, to avoid his wolfpacks?

Are you intentionally silent about the objective of your 'new amphibious plan', or have I missed something? (May well be, since we dutch have been celebrating the crowning of our new king for 2 days)

In that context, there's no way that the Allies would so deploy troops with the intent of having them killed or captured as you've so done. <br/>

RE: The Good The Bad & The Indifferent

<t> I agree with CR's analysis: up to the end of 1942 the IJ player can be expected to have the strategic initiative and force the Allied player to react. CR's various operations (Gilberts, Birma) have reversed this: maybe John had some ideas for large operations in 1942, maybe not, but these will ...

RE: The Good The Bad & The Indiffident

Suppose that John comes to Bay of B. with the KB and lots of BB etc. He'd probably be able to gain supremacy there for a while and deny supply & reinf. TF to Ramree, right? If so, do you think will you be able to hold it if he comes for it, over land or sea?

Given that he probably believes you to have an interest in Cocos I., woudn't he keep some strike force in its vicinity? Otherwise I have no idea on numbers of CV's, but I do not mind adding to your post count in order to defeat Greyjoy. [:)]

<t> Well done in Burma, CR. Another question about that (sorry for pestering you with them, but I learn a lot from you AARs): will supply not be a problem for you? E.g., when the 6th Aussie Div. is in its intended hex, it will be 2 full jungle hexes from a hex with a yellow road; will supply still ...

One more thing I've learned about this game, then. Amazing. Btw, are you going to let him come for Milne Bay (and thus not defend it with your 32nd Div)?
