We do too. Unfortunately for me, my opponent has been way too smart to leave vacant bases for me to train upon. So I have to train under-fire. It slows down my training a lot, but I do get some good pilots out of ...

Well, Stock is Stock. One needs to learn how to play within the constraints of the Game and ignore what you know about history.<br/>

<r> My game against my Chinese opponent continues since I last wrote about the battle between my Tonys and his 4Es over Rahaeng, and the stalemate has also continued, although that will likely change as my opponent starts to build up, train, and field P-38 Units. But as of the third week of October ...

My B17s don't seem to want to attack a big Jap TF near Rabaul despite their being in range. They are set to Naval Attack and 0% patrol. What am I doing wrong here? They are at the edge of the black line.

<t> Go after Noumea in a VERY serious manner. You get lots of points and you hamper the Allies in a big way.<br/>

If you are playing against the AI, expect it to go after you with everything it has.<br/>

If you are playing pbem, expect some serious diversionary attacks.<br/>

<r> I still have one pbem going; this one against another strong opponent who happens to live in China. I started this pbem in the same fashion as my pbem against AuTiger, but the difference was that I had PDU set to "on", and I started it later than my game against AuTiger so I was able to correct ...

<r> January 30, 1943 - The night phase had a little of everything; ineffectual sub hunting by my ASW forces, effective sub attacks by the Allied subs, and more mine clearing by both sides. <br/>
<br/>
Then the day phase started out with what turned out to be the turning point in this pbem for me ...

<t> January 29, 1943 - The night phase brought the usual minesweeping by both sides, with my ships sweeping Shortlands and Allied MSWs still sweeping Rangoon harbor. I've been sending subs in to Rangoon to add to the leftover mines just in case I can catch an Allied ship by surprise. <br/>
<br ...

<t> January 28, 1943 – The night phase started out with the usual ineffectual sub hunting by my ASW TFs, followed by a successful Allied sub attack on an AK off of northern Borneo. Then I received a message that Air Missions at Lunga were cancelled due to bad weather, and the rest of my night air ...

<t> January 27, 1943 – Mines appeared at Shortlands this turn, courtesy of another Allied stealth sub. My ASW, both Air and Naval, continues to be useless, but I keep on sending out ASW TFs anyway, just in case they cause the Allied subs to either waste fuel or torpedoes. Fortunately, the Allied ...

<t> January 26, 1943 – Allied mines suddenly appeared at Truk this turn. I guess that a "stealth sub" snuck in and laid them while my many and varied Naval Air Patrols flew around but saw nothing. An empty AK also was torpedoed in the Straights of Malacca and as usual my ASW escort ships couldn't ...

<t> January 25, 1943 – The night phase brought continuing minesweeping by the Allied MSWs at Rangoon. Along with the minesweeping came a naval bombardment TF. AuTiger had his DDs bombard too, and for once some of my shore guns shot back, hitting two DDs. There was also the usual unsuccessful sub ...

<t> January 24, 1943 – The recently arrived Allied subs in the Philippines and DEI kept my ASW forces busy, and also kept them unsuccessful. With the exception of one APD my ASW ships chased Allied subs without launching any attacks, and the APD attack didn't appear to do much damage. Then a totally ...

<t> January 23, 1943 - Allied MSWs continued to sweep mines at Rangoon, but the real action during this night turn was in China where two Night Air Attacks flew. I hadn't really planned it this way, but I apparently forgot to set an "Objective" for my Nick Nightfighters in Canton, so they flew off ...

<t> January 22, 1943 - This was an extremely quiet turn. Some of my MSWs swept mines at Macassar, and some Allied MSWs swept mines at Rangoon and Moulmein. And one of my DDs on ASW duty spotted an Allied sub but didn't get an attack off. And that was all there was this turn, other than a lot of ...

<t> January 21, 1943 – The night phase brought more action than usual. First off one of my MSWs on ASW duty off of Balikpapan was surprised by an Allied sub and was sunk. That same sub later during the day fought off two more MSWs, and sank one of them too. Next there was another Naval bombardment ...

<t> January 20, 1943 – This was one of those turns where nothing worked out for me. Sometimes you can tell how a turn will go just by the way it starts, and sure enough, this turn started with a bad omen as one of my CAs hit a freshly sub-laid Allied mine at Macassar. The CA was heavily damaged and ...
