<t> Well,<br/>
<br/>
I understand, people may have a tight budget to cope with. However here is my experience:<br/>
<br/>
I bought a boxed copy of UV a number of years ago over here in Germany - out of curiosity.<br/>
I liked the game, playing it on and off for a while.<br/>
<br/>
Then WitP ...

<t> WOW !<br/>
<br/>
Going by the announcement and by the list of "leads" and their reputation with this community, AE is going to be as large a leap forward in Wargaming as WitP was on UV. <br/>
My best whishes to the team and fingers/toes crossed this thing can be pulled off.<br/>
<br/>
Just ...

<t> Cheers !<br/>
<br/>
I got into this, whem I stumbled into a boxed copy of UV in a store in Germany. Many, many moons ago. Amd the store does not exist anymore ...<br/>
<br/>
Never played UV in PBM. Had lots of fun with the AI though - bought WitP almost on day one. Because of this.<br/>
<br ...

<t> Hi Mate,<br/>
<br/>
best of luck to you - no grudges from my end after our last "encounter".<br/>
<br/>
Care for some consultancy ? And I may say only one Port Attack for IJ is a bit lame - with this mod.<br/>
<br/>
Even if not: <br/>
<br/>
As an allied player, support your TBs ...

Hmm.

Nemo121, thank you. Serious.
You are right.

I just felt someone was taking an easy shot on a chap on this board. Issues or no.
Apologies to cantona2.

Cheers

Hahah !

Exactly !

But "netiquete" is supposed to apply ?

Cheers

"As they say&nbsp;sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and all that."

I knew, I would learn something tonite.

Thank you !

Cheers

<t> Well mate,<br/>
<br/>
tounge in cheek it was ? There are ways you could have made sure "dumboes" like me may get it.<br/>
But of course, 19 posts speek for themselves.<br/>
<br/>
I very humbly regret to have questioned your "ante" as a senior herabaouts.<br/>
<br/>
I hope you accept my ...

<t> No offence mate,<br/>
<br/>
but the call sign of my worthy opponent is "Trollelite". Whether "troll" or "elite" are more important, is a an open question.<br/>
<br/>
If I should consider your term "Taking on everyone on this board" as a slew on my own person - for accepting him as an ...

<t> Hi chaps !<br/>
<br/>
I do not care to bore you to death – I guess we all have read eraly war AARs ad nauseam.<br/>
<br/>
So just the facts:<br/>
<br/>
Trollelite used his Swordfish and Vildebeest units to attack my ships in the north of Malaya – with little result and heavy losses.<br ...

<t> Well GH,<br/>
<br/>
I am not sure, but the way I see this is simple.<br/>
Troll got you by the balls - in India. So what.<br/>
<br/>
He keeps calling each an every of your moves a "foul". So what.<br/>
You have HR ? Tell him - and tell the forum you did so - that HR are for the duration ...

<t> Hi Mate !<br/>
<br/>
Looks like we are playing the same chap !<br/>
As far as I can see, your best bet is taking the inniative where he does not expect it.<br/>
Go for his lines of communication in the Pacific.<br/>
<br/>
Just an idea.<br/>
<br/>
As to the chap himself: He does have some ...

<t> Gentlemen,<br/>
<br/>
time for an update. Our game has reached Dec. 10th<br/>
<br/>
And, after the first two moves compeleted, we have finalized – for the time being – our HR. A somewhat curious situation.<br/>
Anyway, the main change is in rule #8 which now reads: Only jap airborne unit ...

<t> This is what I call myself a „Maverik“ game. While using the WitP engine, no pretentions are even attempted to line up history with what may be possible in this game.<br/>
<br/>
I accepted this challenge, because it is in stark contrast with my other PBM going (CHS 159, highly regulated ...

<t> Salute Gents !<br/>
<br/>
Since my other game going has somewhat stalled - due to R/L issues of my worthy opponent - I am looking for a second game. I would think, I can manage around 5 turns a week for this game.<br/>
I strongly prefer CHS - or derivative - scenarios.<br/>
I am familiar ...

<br/>
After a long and taxing day – our first in a combat zone – I just managed to join my messmates to share a commemorative cup of sake in honor of the first of the ships lost heroes in combat. Anyway, the recall to the plotting table was immediate.<br/>
Looks like my ...

Today our aircraft have encountered the enemy for the first time – and they drew their first blood !<br/>
The Namlea TF has delivered the troops. The landing was unopposed.<br/>
A DD Flotilla released from the Legaspi landings encountered a Transport East of Samar ...

<r> Well,<br/>
<br/>
apart from "historical" issues as raised by "spence", the IJN CVEs are pretty useful IMHO - in WitP territory.<br/>
I tend to use them pretty much as the CVLs early on.<br/>
Past mid 42 - assuming they survive the early phase unscathed - combining them with slow BBs on ...

CarDiv4 has sailed from Palau due West at noon Dec 9th. We are under strict orders to observe radio silence – except for essential sighting reports from our search planes. The Admiral keeps a very watchful eye on his new command, issuing flag and optical signals ...

<br/>
Our TF is going to leave Palau during the day. We are ordered to sail West towards Manado ahead of the landing forces going to this base, even though most of our fighters are still not ready for combat.<br/>
<br/>
Besides protecting those forces, the TF is supposed ...
