Well, in truth 4 BBs "sank" at Pearl. 2 were re-floated and repaired. So in my personal opinion, anything between 2 and 4 is "historical". Doesnt mean a player shouldnt be able to achieve less than 2 or more than 4. Just that to me 2, 3 ...

<t> My suggestion would be getting an engineer regiment or two onto Upolu, and resupply. You've got too much there now to pull off. The engineers will help pound the forts down, which is what is killing you in the assaults.<br/>

Just remember that every Japanese aircraft you can down is a ...

I have every confidence in the team working on AE. They'll get it out as soon as they reasonably can. All impatience to the contrary, of course, since I think we all want it NOW! [:D]

Here is what I'd like:<br/>

I'd set this to max amount of time 12 years (144 turns, yeah, I'd like to play with people who are interested in a long game...)<br/>
Highest glory at end<br ...

I'd like to play this, as well. Just got the game, played the older one for awhile, this iteration definitely has improvements. Too bad we can't really use most of them in PBEM play.

In any case, if I get a choice, I'd prefer Austria or Sweden.

<r> Three days since I posted here. When I started this AAR, my goal was to do weekly (in game time, so every few days, at the pace Rainer and I have been doing turns) situation reports, with other posts when things got particularly interesting. So, in keeping with that:<br/>

Guys… good digression.[:)] Guess I’ll have to hunt down a copy of KH and bring myself up to speed. The delving into the dictionary has been fun too but what does EmCon. mean?

<r> The remnants of the ABDA air forces are waiting to meet it. I doubt it will do much good, but if we can put some bombs or torpedoes into carrier decks, I'm willing to lose the whole force to do it.<br/>

I've read both AARs, and enjoyed them. Carry on, John. I too want to see how this works out.

Moving to a Russian airfield, does that mean the Japanese can attack Russia?<br/>
You might verify with your opponent this tactic is allowed. Most don't.

Apparently the Japanese didn't like having their Oscars chopped up over Burma, because they didn't return for a second dose. A sad thing, because I had over 120 Warhawks plus 40 odd Buffalos waiting for them. Instead, they took out their ...
