Speaking of the Zeke upgrade path, anyone know if (for CHS) the A6M5 can upgrade to A6M7 when those become available? <br/>

The Allies have begun knocking on the Empire’s strategic defensive perimeter but as a whole our defensive structure remains intact, despite various dents/incursions in the eastern Kuriles and New Caledonia. Admiral ...

<r> Feinder – thanks for the comments/analysis/feedback. Admiral Cathartes is right. I too check out your AAR vs Bilbow especially since it’s also CHS and the timeframe is similar, even though the losses in your game are a good bit higher … but I'm sure we'll get there eventually [;)] <br/>

<t> This sounds quite worrisome. I have 2 PBEM games, in May and August 1943. Both are CHS 155, with Andy's extended map. Witp fully patched to 1.806. <br/>

Has anyone played CHS into the late years (1944 and beyond) and NOT encountered this problem? Or if they did, when (approximately) did ...

In contrast to the last week of May, June was a relatively uneventful month. Admiral Cathartes decided to reinforce his position at Moresby using mostly landing craft of all types and LSTs. Regular PT boat patrols ...

Air battles<br/>
Enemy land-based air took a beating this turn, with 9 B-24Ds over Saidor and 25 P-38F, 19 Beaufighters and 15 P-38Gs over Moresby. Our own losses in both battles amounted to 26 Ki-61s damaged/destroyed. <br/>

Admiral Cathartes has been diligently preparing his ‘campaign of liberation’. A lot of shipping (mostly transports and PT boats) has been spotted at Thursday Island, Portland Roads, the Ellice Islands and even as far ...

<t> Admiral Rybeck withdrew from the game some months ago for personal reasons, so I agreed to take over the reins playing Japan. <br/>

Game-date is now Feb 23rd, 1943. <br/>

I actually got rather lucky in the south Pacific. My carriers were operating south of New Caledonia hoping to ...

As a Japan player (my PBEM is in April 1943) I can certainly feel for ya. Crunch time and all that! Best of luck and be sure to bloody his nose, very&nbsp;bloodily [:)]

The Japanese have massively reinforced/built-up Rabaul, Lae, Buna, and Port Moresby. If an offensive is launched in this direction it will be extremely costly for the Allies. An air campaign over Port Moresby would also come at a steep price. <e ...

Just a hunch, but it probably has to do with the 6 destroyers that will most likely sink? [:)]

Thanks for the input Mogami. I'm also of the opinion the drop was caused by&nbsp;something along the lines of vehicle eplacements and/or 'subtle' upgrades that are kinda hard to locate [;)]

Godspeed and what Jwilkerson said.
